It was already 10: 30 pm when Xiao Zheng returned home. Xia Zhang accompanied Young Master An upstairs to rest. JESSICA was finishing up the kitchen.
The old butler was very serious and focused on his work. The professionalism of his service was approved by the Queen of England. Xiao Zheng never worried that Old Lin would be dissatisfied with his service.
In fact, even Old Lin, who was very territorial, never complained about jESSICA. On the contrary, he had slowly gotten used to jESSICA's presence and enjoyed the excellent service that jESSICA provided.
"Boss, you're back?" jESSICA gave the dessert that she had prepared to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng took two sips and smiled. "It's so late. Why aren't you resting?"
"I'm used to sleeping at midnight." JESSICA accompanied Xiao Zheng to the living room. Seeing that Xiao Zheng didn't look too good, she asked with concern, "Boss, did you run into trouble?"
Xiao Zheng put down the dessert and rubbed his brows. "It's nothing."
JESSICA shook her head. "You rarely look so tired."
JESSICA knew Xiao Zheng very well.
He was a man who couldn't be beaten to death. Even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, he wouldn't look so tired. He must have run into some unexpected trouble.
After finishing the dessert, Xiao Zheng patted jESSICA's shoulder. "It's okay. I'll take care of it. Rest early. "
Xiao Zheng went upstairs to take a shower. When he crawled into bed, Old Lin turned around and hugged his waist.
"What's wrong? Are you cold? "Xiao Zheng asked out of concern.
Lin Huayin shook her head. "You took a long shower today."
If it was an ordinary man, he would be overthinking. It was very likely that he was overthinking.
He took a long shower.
That meant that he had left some marks on his body that he was afraid of being discovered. If he thought deeper, it would be even scarier.
However, Old Lin didn't have any other intentions when he suddenly asked this question. He thought that since Xiao Zheng didn't even have time to take a shower, he must have run into some trouble.
"I sweated too much today." Xiao Zheng smiled and held Old Lin's soft and warm palm. "Go to sleep."
"I'm not sleepy." Lin Huayin tightened her grip on Xiao Zheng's hand. "Talk to me."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he was a little disarmed. "Alright then. What does Her Majesty wish to know? "
"What trouble did you encounter?" Lin Huayin asked bluntly.
"Mm." Xiao Zheng exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. "The Grand Entertainment Project was progressing smoothly, but Shang Yao suddenly withdrew her investment. Linghu Zhu and I were put in a very passive position."
"Withdraw?" Lin Huayin frowned slightly. "She tricked you?"
"Her brain is normal. There's nothing wrong with her." Xiao Zheng laid on the bed and hugged Elder Lin's waist. "The situation is very complicated, and the opponent is too strong. Anyone could back down. Shang Yao was no exception. What's more, she has Shang Jingtian behind her who is very good at brainwashing. "
"This eternal second brother has been picking up scraps all the way until today. How could he be willing to rush into the frontline in such a big situation? Taking advantage of others is his usual style. "Xiao Zheng pursed his lips.
Lin Huayin did not listen to too much of Xiao Zheng's explanation. After receiving some useful information, she immediately analyzed, "Without the Yan family's support, the Grand Entertainment Project will have a hard time."
How could Xiao Zheng not know?
In fact, with Linghu Zhu and Xiao Zheng's cooperation, the project could have gradually become stronger and even become a monopolist.
However, it was precisely because of Shang Yao's participation that Linghu Zhu became even more confident, allowing him to take bigger strides. Many projects were even advancing on multiple fronts.
But now, when the project was only halfway through, the follow-up funds suddenly decreased —
The Grand Entertainment Project was facing a crisis.
Without sufficient funds, some projects had to be stopped. If they really could not bear to, they could only slow down. But the business world was like a battlefield. Moving too fast was dangerous, and moving too slow was equally dangerous.
Sailing against the current.
Not to mention in such a complicated situation. How could Linghu Zhu be willing to slow down?
Before going home, he talked to Linghu Zhu on the phone. Not surprisingly, Linghu Zhu was secretly looking for investors. Xiao Zheng wanted to refuse, afraid that if he made it too big, the news would be leaked, and some people would use it as an article in the media. It would affect the market image of the Grand Entertainment Project.
But he also knew that Linghu Zhu was like an ant on a hot pan. If he could not get investors, it would definitely delay the opportunity. So he did not stop him.
"What do you plan to do?" Lin Huayin asked curiously.
In fact, there were only two answers.
Either he followed suit and quickly ended the cooperation with Linghu Zhu. The initial investment would be considered as a waste. Or, Xin Ao would increase the investment.
However, Xin Ao's funds were also very tight. It would be difficult to take out one billion or eight hundred million, but investments of tens of billions were easily available. It was impossible for Xin Ao to take out that amount. Even if he could, it would be difficult to pass the board of directors.
The Grand Entertainment Project was a new project. So far, no one dared to guarantee how high its profits would be. A huge amount of resources and money would be invested. Perhaps even Xiao Zheng's group of hardcore confidants would also try to persuade the obsessed Xiao Zheng not to be impulsive.
"This project must continue. I am very optimistic about this Grand Entertainment Project. It is also the mainstream model of the future. "Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes. "If you don't have money, give me change. Xin Ao can't return it."
"I'll listen to you." Lin Huayin nodded lightly. "But you have to let Linghu Zhu keep a low profile. If the news is leaked, it will cause criticism. "
Xiao Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "He has already started to move. There is no other way. The blow this time is too big for him. He can't just sit and wait. "
"It is a big taboo to pull in investments. The initial stage of the project needs like-minded people with a common vision and strategic direction. Once the shareholders are mixed, it will cause a lot of internal conflicts and conflicts. "Lin Huayin said very cautiously. "At that time, no matter how much money you have, your hands and feet will be tied."
Xiao Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
This was also one of the problems he was worried about. Therefore, he still wanted to communicate with Linghu Zhu. He must not cause a bloody storm and damage the public image of the Grand Entertainment Project.
"Alright. After this, let's talk about Shang Yao. "Lin Huayin was quite talkative and did not intend to immediately end the topic.
Xiao Zheng was stunned. He smiled bitterly. "What do you want to talk about?"
"She must have a specific reason for suddenly withdrawing her investment, right?" Lin Huayin said with narrowed eyes.
"She gave me a key phrase." Xiao Zheng said slowly. "So far, I don't really agree with it, and I can't understand it. But in fact, this phrase is a concept proposed by a big leader. "
"What concept?" Lin Huayin asked.
"Three parts of the world." Xiao Zheng said word by word.
Lin Huayin's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this. "It's a very scientific concept."
"You think so too?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.
"Of course." Lin Huayin nodded lightly. "This is history and also the trend."
