Xiao Zheng was not joking. He was not joking at all.
How much time, manpower, and resources had Xin Ao spent to cultivate their users and market? Even so, Xin Ao's internet department was not the best in the country. At least, Xin Ao was at a slight disadvantage when facing a behemoth like the Lin Group.
Xin Ao and the Lin Group had already dominated the internet market. They had the absolute initiative in this era where users were king. If Linghu Zhu wanted to cultivate his own users and market, how much money would he have to spend? Which capitalist would be willing to invest so much money in a saturated market?
That was how the market worked. Money did not mean that one could do whatever they wanted. The right time, the right place, and the right people were the criteria to expand the market. Otherwise, money would be thrown in, but there wouldn't be enough benefits. Who would do that?
White City's Bai family, the Ye Residence, and even the Lu family would not change their strategy to the internet market. It was not that they did not have the money, but that they would not be able to seize the market even if they had the money. The loss outweighed the gain.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng did not think that Linghu Zhu could leave Xin Ao and Shang Yao to develop on his own. Moreover, 1.5 times the compensation? Did he really think that Xiao Zheng was a beggar?
The long period of resources, investment, and personal connections that Xiao Zheng had contributed were not things that could be exchanged with money alone.
Linghu Zhu asked for compensation. It seemed that he really wanted to leave the organization and go solo.
Facing Xiao Zheng's question, Linghu Zhu smiled and asked, "Boss Xiao, do you think that I do not have enough financial support? Or do you think that my big entertainment project does not have enough potential? "
Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and calmed down. "Linghu Zhu, I will give you one last chance."
"What chance?" Linghu Zhu asked. His eyes were full of contempt.
"Admit that you have a problem with your attitude and reject Justin's request immediately. I can pretend that nothing happened. You are still my partner, "Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Boss Xiao, you seem to have it backwards," Linghu Zhu said indifferently. "It's not that I'm a partner, it's that you are. I was the one who planned the entertainment project from start to finish. "
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.
His smile was so cold that it made Linghu Zhu's hair stand on end.
He knew that Xiao Zheng was a peerless expert. If he really angered him, who knew what he would do? Shang Jingtian had only died a few days ago!
Everyone was saying that it was related to Xiao Zheng. Was it credible? Very tall …
"It seems that you don't cherish the concession I gave you at all." Xiao Zheng suddenly laughed. He spat out a mouthful of smoke.
"Xiao Zheng. Stop putting on airs in front of me, "Linghu Zhu said mockingly. "Is there no one in this world that can do business without you? Cover your conscience and say, who contributed the most to the big entertainment project? You know what? I've been running around for Big Entertainment these days. What have you done? "
Xiao Zheng did not hesitate. He said word by word, "I gave you a good game of chess. I even gave you early resources. Even the publicity was planned by me."
"What? Meeting a few bosses is considered running around? That only proves that you're not capable enough. You must have a face-to-face meeting to solve the problem, "Xiao Zheng said coldly. "Why don't I show you how to solve all problems with a phone call?"
A trace of panic flashed in Linghu Zhu's eyes. He knew that he had thoroughly angered Xiao Zheng.
But now that things had come to this, he did not have the capital to sue for peace. What's more, he didn't think that he couldn't make Da Wen Entertainment bigger and stronger without Xiao Zheng.
One should know that he had pulled in a lot of investors.
And all of them were flattering him.
"Boss Xiao, are you trying to scare me?" Linghu Zhu said disdainfully. "Well then, I want to see how Boss Xiao can solve all the problems with a phone call."
Xiao Zheng did not say much. Instead, he took out his phone and called Justin.
As soon as the call connected, Justin's hearty voice came through: "Xiao Zheng, calling me early in the morning, is there some good news?"
"It's not really good news, but it's a timely reminder." Xiao Zheng said slowly.
"A reminder?" Justin was taken aback. He wondered if it was about the matter between him and Linghu Zhu.
Didn't that brat say he wouldn't tell Xiao Zheng? At least he wouldn't give a clear reply.
"Hmm. I've decided. I will officially withdraw from the big entertainment project in the next few days. Linghu gongzi also promised to make up for all my losses. I will call Gandalf in a bit and tell him the whole thing. "Xiao Zheng said slowly. "I heard that Mr. Justin is also interested in this project?"
"Nonsense! Xiao Zheng, who are you listening to? How could I be interested in such a messy project? "Justin quickly changed his words and denied. "I did talk to Linghu Zhu once. I admire this young man's courage and drive, but at present, his thinking is still very immature. I can be friends, but as a partner, I'm more willing to reach a consensus with a young talent like Boss Xiao. "
"Then the next time there's a good project, I will be the first to inform Mr. Justin." Xiao Zheng smiled.
Justin laughed heartily: "Then I'll be waiting for your good news, Xiao Zheng. Also, my baby daughter wants me to send her regards to her savior. "
Xiao Zheng smiled: "Send my regards to her as well. The next time I come to New York, I will definitely pay a visit. "
"It's a deal."
The conversation between the two was open to the public.
Xiao Zheng even turned on the loudspeaker.
In other words, Linghu Zhu could clearly hear the conversation between the two!
The more he listened, the uglier his face became.
The more he listened, the more desperate his heart became.
Wall Street tycoon Justin actually gave face to Xiao Zheng? Linghu Zhu knew that with Justin's capital, it was impossible for him to be afraid of Xiao Zheng. But this face was so unexpected that Justin couldn't believe it.
Was this still the same Justin who had tried so hard to persuade him? How could he turn his back on me? He even criticized me for not being mature enough?
Linghu Zhu's face was pale and his eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
The second phone call Xiao Zheng made was from Gandalf.
The man's answer was even more straightforward. He wanted Linghu Zhu to answer the phone on the spot and verbally terminate the contract. Ending all cooperation with Linghu Zhu.
Subsequently, Xiao Zheng called Shang Yao.
"Boss Xiao's decision is my decision." Shang Yao spoke very calmly on the other side of the phone.
Xiao Zheng ended the third call and calmly stared at the restless Linghu Zhu: "I know you must want to reconcile and continue to maintain a cooperative relationship. You are willing to make concessions."
"But I'm sorry, you have no chance."
