Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 598 - 260 Everyone is Happy_2

The goal was largely achieved, but there was no hint of joy on Su Huai’s face.

He sneered, with a look of disdain, "Don’t joke, what’s the point of just 10% of the shares? And I helped you increase your market valuation, only for my shares to be diluted once B round funding starts..."

Damn it, how could this guy be so greedy?

Wang Siming massaged his temples, "So how much do you want?"

Su Huai blurted out without hesitation, "Flat rate, 300 million, 30%, we won’t participate in the B round financing, but you have to ensure that Xingyu’s shareholding isn’t diluted."

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Wang flared up, veins throbbing at his temples.

He had still underestimated Gou Dongxi’s level of greed.

Su Huai, shamelessly brazen, calmly replied, "How can a strategic partner be treated the same as a financial investor?

Your Panda’s B round valuation could barely reach 5 billion, but with Xingyu’s full support, Panda’s valuation could spike to at least 8 billion. The wool comes from the sheep’s back, are you really at a loss?"

"How am I not at a loss?"

Wang wasn’t truly naive; he did understand some basic costs.

"Legal costs, penalties for breaking agreements, management costs from expansion, communication costs from offering so many shares, loss of equity..."

Su Huai leisurely replied, "The increased valuation of 30 billion, considering your remaining 50% of the shares, you still have a benefit of 15 billion, enough to cover all costs. Not to mention the increase in profitability that this brings."

Hearing this, Wang got even angrier.

"You just open your mouth and ask for 30%, I won’t even have 50% of the shares left!"

"That’s not my problem." Gou Huai spread his hands with an air of arrogance, "Change isn’t necessary for Xingyu, I just can’t be at a loss."

These words hit the nail on the head, and Wang Siming instantly felt sick to his stomach.

But in his view, it was indeed so.

Who needed whom more?

Without a doubt, Panda needed Xingyu, so they would have to accept a weaker position.

"Give me some more time to think..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Mr. Wang massaged his temples, delving into deeper thought.

Su Huai leisurely smoked his cigar, without a shred of worry.

It was a deadlock, as long as Wang Siming couldn’t figure out that Xingyu’s strategy had to cut ties with Gou Star, no matter how he thought or stalled, in the end, he would have to hold his nose and accept defeat.

And Su Huai did have an out— if we really can’t agree, I’ll go to Kuaishou.

Yuji, plus a few Northeastern hosts banding together, might not be able to create a Xingyu family. The route might be more convoluted, but it leads to the same end.

Without this opportunity, how could Panda compete with YY and Douyu for first place?

Wang Siming truly couldn’t think of any ways to haggle with Su Huai and ultimately had to admit with a sullen face, "Fine, it’s true that Panda needs Xingyu more..."

Gou Huai grinned, "So, we’re agreed on the basics?"

Mr. Wang’s eyelids twitched heavily, the basics?

Could there be more conditions?

Of course, there could.

If you let Gou Huai have the upper hand, what good can come from it?

"Um, I’ll have to think about it, don’t push it!"

Wang’s bluster was clearly transparent to Gou Huai, who chuckled and continued leisurely.

"Risking all I have to join you on this venture, bro, you should at least give me some assurance, right?"

Wang Siming’s scalp tingled as he was addressed as "bro," trembling, he asked, "What kind of assurance do you want?"

Su Huai took a puff of his cigar, smoke masking his mocking expression, and slowly said, "I lack confidence in your management team, but I know I should trust your ability. So, let’s sign a contra deal, shall we?"

Lucky me, I finally heard a compliment from you.

Wang Siming felt quite satisfied by Gou Huai’s flattery, feeling a boost in confidence, he grandly waved his hand, "How would you like to bet?"

"Based on an IPO as the criterion."

Gou Huai quietly set a trap for him, "If it works out, everyone’s happy. But if we fail despite Xingyu’s support, then it’s on you. At that time, you can buy back my shares with your personal funds."

This cunning provocation instantly stoked the obstinate pride of the young Wang.

"Fuck! Add that if the entirety of Xingyu can’t go public, it’s all on my head, too!"

He agreed too readily to that condition, even without thinking.

Even in his previous life, when nothing worked out, Mr. Wang was still so confident in his eventual success that he signed the buy-back clause without a second thought.

"Bravo!"

Gou Huai grinned and gave a thumbs up, lavishing praise as if it cost nothing.

"That’s the spirit for doing business, Wang. I’m starting to admire you. You have the background, the connections, the guts, the traffic. I have the strategy, the talent, the paying players. As long as we two brothers genuinely cooperate, nothing in the livestream industry will stand in our way, will it?"

These words were a bit frivolous, but, oh, did they cater to Mr. Wang’s tastes.

"Right! Our two companies are a match made in heaven, highly complementary. When combined, no other platform will be our match!"

Looking at his beaming face, he probably already envisioned himself unifying the realm.

In truth, Su Huai didn’t mind if Panda thrived; his stance was: regardless of whether you all work hard, Xingyu Conference will do its best.

If the platform really prospers, then everyone makes money together; if not, then Xingyu alone will shine.

But could Panda really develop?

Without ending the infighting between the 360 team and Wang Si’s team, it was difficult.

In his previous life, Su Huai didn’t know why they fought, but now he could guess—it’s disdain when the layman meets the incompetent.

Who’s the incompetent? Hush...

"Alright, let’s motivate each other."
