Confidence was a must in the business world. This would give the partners a strong sense of security. But if one was too confident, or even inflated. That would be very dangerous.
Linghu Zhu, for example, was in the limelight. He did not listen to anyone and was extremely self-assertive. He completely disregarded the suggestions of Shang Yao and Xiao Zheng.
This was a dictatorship.
It was also a manifestation of forced centralization of power.
Xiao Zheng knew that it was time to knock Linghu Zhu down a peg.
This was not only to show his presence, but also to ensure that his interests were not infringed upon.
As a partner, Xiao Zheng had the absolute right to know. In particular, Xiao Zheng had invested a lot of resources in the early stage of the cultural and entertainment project. Otherwise, it would not have reached its current scale.
Could Linghu Zhu manage such a big game of chess with his meager funds? Dream on.
But now, Linghu Zhu obviously wanted to dump people and go it alone, treating Xiao Zheng as a profit-sharing person with no initiative.
Taking a sip of wine, Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said, "I believe your so-called momentum will have benefits in this regard. But you have to understand the problem. Is this momentum good or bad? If you splash too much dirty water, even if it can raise your value in a short period of time. In the long run, it is quite disadvantageous. Moreover, North America is not Hua Xia. There are many directions we are uncertain about. Once we make too many enemies, it will create a situation where a tall tree attracts the wind. Who can guarantee that the higher-ups will not take some measures against us? "
After pausing for a moment, Xiao Zheng continued, "Sofia once said something to me. I feel that it will become our greatest obstacle in the future."
"What is it?" Linghu Zhu asked absentmindedly.
"Our project will be seen as cultural aggression in North America. Once this matter is confirmed, Congress is very likely to come up with a policy. "Xiao Zheng said meaningfully. "So on this issue, we must consider it carefully."
Although Linghu Zhu was not as perfunctory as before, he did not give too much enthusiasm, "Yes. I will deal with Gandolf and Justin. "
"How are you going to deal with them?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I haven't thought it through yet. However, judging from the current situation, I will delay Justin for now. After all, he is a Wall Street tycoon. I cannot afford to offend him, "Linghu Zhu explained.
"In other words, you might be able to pull him into your group?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
Linghu Zhu said with a smile, "Only when the strong join forces can it be a win-win situation." "Just like me and you, Old Xiao, I should also find some strong reinforcements overseas."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng could not help but frown and say, "Looks like you're almost done talking to Justin?"
Xiao Zheng finally found out Linghu Zhu's true decision.
At first, he wanted to brush it off. Tell Xiao Zheng that he didn't agree to work with Justin. But now, he had revealed his true thoughts. Did he really decide to work with Justin?
Xiao Zheng was rather displeased. It was such a big decision, but he didn't even think about discussing it with her. Even if she kept asking, he still planned to hide it.
What, you're getting cocky just because you have some achievements? Is he going to ascend to the heavens?
Linghu Zhu saw Xiao Zheng's unkind expression and was also quite displeased.
Big Entertainment was a kingdom built by her own hands. You give me money and resources, and I give you some face. But you want to interfere with my decision?
Isn't that too much?
The two of them had their own thoughts and criticized each other's decisions from their own standpoint. There was no such thing as who was right and who was wrong. What they really needed to consider was which method was more beneficial to Big Entertainment.
That was the right decision.
"This is just a preliminary idea so far. I haven't put it into action yet, "Linghu Zhu said casually. He avoided the main point and went around it.
"Young Master Linghu," Xiao Zheng's expression darkened and his tone was unkind. "I'm not beating around the bush with you. I'm discussing the problem with you."
"I'm discussing the problem with you," Linghu Zhu said with a serious face. "Boss Xiao, I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"If you want to solve the problem, then put your attitude on the right track. I'm your partner, but you're hiding everything from me. What do you mean? "Xiao Zheng said with raised eyebrows. His body gradually revealed a domineering aura.
"These are just small matters. I don't need to report everything to you, do I?" Linghu Zhu asked. "Boss Xiao, don't forget that I'm the CEO of Big Entertainment and its largest shareholder."
A chill flashed in Xiao Zheng's eyes when he heard this. "Young Master Linghu, are you going to have a showdown with me?"
Linghu Zhu shrugged and said, "I'm just doing what I have to do. If Boss Xiao thinks of me like this, there's nothing I can do. "
"How I think of you is not important. What's important is how far you plan to push Big Entertainment. "Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice. "Gandalf and Justin have been fighting on Wall Street. It might seem like a good thing for you to pull them in. In fact, it will leave a huge hidden danger. I still hope that you'll suffer for a while. Make a decision as soon as possible. "
"I've already made a decision!" Linghu Zhu said firmly as he was pressured by Xiao Zheng step by step. "I'll accept Justin's support of three billion dollars. Moreover, I'll let him be fully in charge of the North American operations. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't agree."
"Boss Xiao doesn't seem to have veto power?" Linghu Zhu said with dissatisfaction. "I've already discussed this matter with Justin. Moreover, I think this is the most helpful choice for Big Entertainment. "
"Is it the most helpful for Big Entertainment or your personal influence?" Xiao Zheng asked with narrowed eyes. "Or do you just want to get rid of me?"
In the early days, the biggest selling point of Big Entertainment in Hua Xia was Xiao Zheng, the supporter behind it. It was also because of Xin Ao's crazy promotion in the new media that Linghu Zhu could get to where he was today.
But now, Linghu Zhu's wings had obviously hardened. He wanted to step up to a higher level and get rid of Xiao Zheng step by step.
This was something Xiao Zheng couldn't tolerate. For both public and private reasons, Xiao Zheng couldn't let Linghu Zhu do this.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
Or do you think I'm easy to talk to and bully?
"If Boss Xiao thinks so, then I can only say that Boss Xiao is gauging the stature of a gentleman with his own mean measure," Linghu Zhu said indifferently. "Besides, there's no need for us to talk anymore."
Having said that, he stood up and said condescendingly, "Boss Xiao, if you think I can't do without you, then I won't be able to do it. If you think I can't do it without you. I'll compensate you 1.5 times the market value. " "1.5 times?" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but tease him.
"1.5 times?" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but tease him. "That sounds really generous."
After a short pause, he slowly said, "Young Master Linghu, I really want to know how you're going to come up with 100 billion to fill this hole.
By the way, you'll have to spend about half of the price to cultivate the market. Are you sure you have the ability to do so? "
