Seeing Congcong badmouthing his father so much, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile: "After all that talk, you just want me to get involved, don't you?"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng finally understood his intention, Wang Congcong immediately beamed: "Your Xingchen Investment already has a considerable layout in the internet field. Lend a hand to your brother."
Jiang Cheng listened and said without reservation: "Although we are brothers, even brothers settle accounts clearly. If you want me to get on board with your company, it won't work without enough benefits."
Wang Congcong heard this, turned to Jiang Cheng and asked: "How much benefit do I have to give you for you to get on board?"
"That depends on how many shares you're willing to give up in this round of financing."
Wang Congcong sighed helplessly: "We can only offer a maximum of ten percent of the shares."
"Only ten percent of the shares? What can I do in your company? Your Panda TV isn't as popular as TikTok. With so little sincerity, it's really not very attractive."
After speaking, Jiang Cheng ignored Wang Congcong and began to eat his own food.
Seeing this, Wang Congcong said anxiously: "I only have forty percent of the shares in my hands right now; the rest are with the original shareholders. To free up a portion, I need their consent."
Jiang Cheng casually said while putting food into his mouth: "That's your problem. If it's just a small-scale venture, then I'd rather not join in the fun."
Seeing Wang Congcong's furrowed brows, Jiang Cheng continued: "Have you ever seriously considered why TikTok and Huya were able to stand out among numerous platforms? It's not just because of their financing advantages; the most crucial factor is actually the powerful Tencent supporting them, providing a solid backing."
Jiang Cheng indeed had no interest in Fierce Cat TV before.
However, things are different now.
Because now, he has Xingchen Media.
If he became a major shareholder of Fierce Cat, wouldn't these Internet Celebrities be able to stream right at his doorstep?
Anyway, Fierce Cat's reputation has already been established. Instead of starting a new one, it's better to directly acquire Fierce Cat TV.
"Then tell me, how much share do you want?" Although Wang Congcong felt a bit helpless internally, he dared not show it on his face.
"I don't demand as much as you, but it must be at least over thirty percent..."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the smile on Wang Congcong's face instantly disappeared.
He frowned and said: "Over thirty percent! Currently, I hold the most shares. If you want to become the largest shareholder of our company, I would have to dilute at least ten percent. This way, your shares might even exceed mine! In that case, wouldn't Fierce Cat TV change hands???"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged.
He gently patted Wang Congcong's shoulder and said: "You need to understand the situation you're currently facing. First, why did those initial shareholders conspire to seize management rights? Wasn't it because they wanted to drive you out? Although you're not short of money, even if you wanted to use money to increase your shareholding now, no one would agree, right? The only way for your company to continue developing is to continue financing and attract other funds into the market. I can assure you that even if my shares surpass yours in the future, the management rights will still remain in your hands. How about it?"
Jiang Cheng had no interest in management rights at all; after all, Principal Wang's golden signboard was quite useful.
What's wrong with having him be the public face and advertise for the company?
It was clear that Wang Congcong was very tempted by Jiang Cheng's words.
After all, their company's situation was already like this.
Either go bankrupt, or bring in another wolf to eliminate the existing tumors in the company.
And the suggestion Jiang Cheng put forward was undoubtedly one of the most feasible solutions currently.
As long as Jiang Cheng could successfully kick out the original shareholders, even if he eventually became the second-largest shareholder, it would definitely not be a loss.
Thinking of this, Wang Congcong sighed inwardly.
Having reached this point, he could only admit defeat directly.
He nodded somewhat helplessly and said: "Alright, let's give it a try. I just worry that these old foxes might not be willing to offer so many shares for a Series B financing..."
After dinner, the two didn't speak much, tacitly preparing to go home separately.
However, to Jiang Cheng's surprise, at this very moment, the two women who had fallen asleep had already dressed neatly.
They were now standing gracefully by the hotel door, silently waiting for Jiang Cheng to come out.
As soon as Jiang Cheng walked out, the awkward atmosphere between the two women immediately dissipated.
At this moment, both of their gazes were fixed on Jiang Cheng, full of affection and reluctance.
Wang Congcong, seeing this, immediately teased Jiang Cheng: "Looks like you're staying here tonight??"
Jiang Cheng cleared his throat and put on a busy facade, saying: "I'm very busy, okay? I still have work tonight."
"Right, right, you're so busy, take care of yourself. I'll go back and figure something out first." While teasing, Wang Congcong was actually a bit envious of Jiang Cheng's youthful energy.
After all, money and ability are equally important to men.
Seeing the two women looking at him with longing, Jiang Cheng also sighed inwardly.
Sometimes being too capable isn't a good thing; it makes you easily coveted.
