Having gained experience from the previous rounds regarding investment proportions, Jiang Cheng was now very familiar with how to handle the situation.
After a brief negotiation, both film and television projects, Xingchen, were successfully secured with a forty percent stake, instantly making him their largest investor.
Although Xu Zheng and Zhang Cheng were reluctant, they faced the tempting condition Jiang Cheng offered: collaboration with Dawan Cinemas for promotion and distribution.
Coupled with the pressure from the opposing party's background, they could only reluctantly instruct their subsidiary companies to withdraw from the competition.
Stepping out of the hotel entrance, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
The excessive enthusiasm of these few people was truly overwhelming for him.
Especially the Wang Brothers, who continuously introduced actresses from their Company to Jiang Cheng.
Even though they knew Su Wan and Reba were both his women, they still vigorously recommended other female celebrities to Jiang Cheng.
After getting into the rolls-royce, Wang Sheng immediately asked Jiang Cheng, "Young Master Jiang, where should we go now?"
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
He remembered that it was already past one in the afternoon when he arrived at the hotel, and now, after lunch, it was just past three.
Feeling the slightly warm winter sunlight of the afternoon.
Jiang Cheng said, "Hmm... I drank some alcohol just now. Let's go for a walk on the Great Wall. I've never been there before."
"Understood, Young Master Jiang." Wang Sheng nodded respectfully, then started the car.
Meanwhile, in a villa on the west side of the city, Wang Congcong was lazily reclining on the living room sofa, focused on playing a game on his phone.
He kept muttering, "Damn it! Who are these people? Do they even know how to play? Glory is really just a game for elementary school kids! It's driving me crazy! These stupid idiots!"
However, before his complaints ceased, he saw his father, Richest Man Wang, walk in from outside with a gloomy expression.
Seeing Richest Man Wang's foul mood, Wang Congcong slowly raised his head and glanced at him.
Then he asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Richest Man Wang sat down heavily, and then grumbled, "Hmph! There have been too many things recently. I knew I shouldn't have attended that useless meeting. Old Ma's mouth is just too sharp. Just looking at him makes me uncomfortable."
Wang Congcong heard his father's words, and the corner of his mouth curled into a scornful smile. "Dad, it's not like you don't know, Old Ma used to be a teacher. Being articulate is his skill. Why bother arguing with him? You lose every time, and you just get angry afterward. Why put yourself through that?"
Wang Congcong's words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Richest Man Wang was instantly furious, ready to erupt.
If anyone else dared to speak to him like that, he would have long since started cursing.
However, the person in front of him was his own son, after all.
Furthermore, he knew his son's temper; if he angered him, the boy might slam the door and leave, perhaps not returning home for days.
Outside, Richest Man Wang could command the wind and summon the rain, omnipotent, but back home, he had to tolerate the mood of his rebellious son.
Thus, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and speak patiently.
"Everything he said was just twisted logic and heresy. I don't believe it. Can a tiny, broken e-commerce platform really turn the world upside down?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Congcong still didn't stop playing his game, and casually said, "Dad, don't keep living in the past. The e-commerce industry is flourishing now; it's genuinely doing very well."
"Alright, stop provoking me. These days, nothing is easy. Our family's Dawan Real Estate was actually surpassed by Hengda this year. Their current market value has exceeded ours, making them the new richest man." Richest Man Wang said with a frown, his face full of anxiety.
Seeing his father still looking anxious and impatient, Wang Congcong pushed the Sweet Melon in front of him.
"Okay, Dad, don't worry about these things too much. Didn't you say before that the so-called 'richest man' title is just for outsiders to look at? If we were truly ranked, it wouldn't even be our turn."
Richest Man Wang glared at Wang Congcong, then picked up the Sweet Melon, took a big bite, and mumbled.
"You kid, stop undermining me outside. And stop talking nonsense on the internet. I am an educated person, yet you go out and say I haven't read many books, causing Old Ma to mock me today."
"You joined the army at 16, where did the education come from? If we don't have something, let's not pretend we do. Eat the melon, eat the melon. Do you think this melon is sweet?"
Richest Man Wang nodded: "Hmm, it's alright. I wouldn't eat too much if it wasn't a Sweet Melon; my blood sugar is high."
Wang Congcong nodded: "That's true. I'm eating it myself. I brought this back from Jiang Cheng yesterday. He said his grandfather grew it."
After speaking, Wang Congcong picked up a piece of Watermelon and started eating it himself.
At this moment, Richest Man Wang, who was beside him, couldn't help but stop eating his melon.
He suddenly stood up excitedly and asked loudly, "What? His grandfather grew it? Which grandfather??"
Seeing his father so agitated, Wang Congcong sighed helplessly.
"Dad, look at yourself right now. You don't look like an educated person at all. You're so loud and boisterous, like some sort of military ruffian."
Upon hearing this, Richest Man Wang glared fiercely at Wang Congcong, but quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and said.
"You brat, did you eat all the melon just like that? Did you save any for your mother?!"
"Yes, I saved some. There are still a few whole ones. How was I supposed to know when you'd be back? What if they went bad?" Wang Congcong replied innocently.
Seeing his father so nervous, Wang Congcong became even more curious and pressed further: "Dad, what exactly is their family background? Even the car they ride in is bulletproof! Aren't those kinds of cars only for certain big figures?"
