Ding Ning didn't understand Bai Qing's approach and asked doubtfully, "Anyway, you are the patriarch. Aren't you in charge of the Bai family?"
"It's not the same!"
Bai Qing shook his head gloomily. "Tiangong Entertainment is under my private name, so I have the absolute right to speak. But once it is transferred to the Bai family, even if I am the patriarch, I can't make a decision by myself. It has to be decided by the Bai family's council. Not to mention that there are a lot of constraints, I have to divide a lot of profits as dividends for the Bai family's descendants every year."
"Isn't that good? It can help you win people's hearts. "
Ding Ning was even more confused and asked confusedly.
"You, you don't understand the management mode of a big family. Even if I am the patriarch, I can't participate in the management of all the industries, let alone I am only the acting patriarch now. Do you know what it means?"
Bai Qing's face was full of helplessness, and he explained patiently, "It means that the Bai family's descendants will be involved in the management of Tiangong Entertainment justifiably, and I, the patriarch, can't intervene too much. Is that the consequence you want to see?"
Ding Ning thought for a while, but he still didn't understand the key point. He asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't it good to manage the Bai family's descendants?"
"What's good about it? Although we are all surnamed Bai and have this kinship, in fact, we have a system of our own. Now that the branch of Bai and I have openly offended each other, I need to win the support of other branches of the Bai family. Tell me, when these Bai family members who support me ask me to manage Tiangong Entertainment, should I agree or not?"
Bai Qing said with a little exasperation.
"Then agree. Isn't it good to win more people to support you?"
Ding Ning said in confusion. He really had no interest in buying Tiangong Entertainment, and he was even a little disgusted with it. After all, he had never liked the entertainment circle, and he didn't want to waste time on it.
"Are you stupid? Let me ask you, what should I do if these people covet your sisters?"
Bai Qing stared at him and asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Who dares? I'll kill him. "
Touching Ding Ning's sensitive line, this guy immediately roared with murderous intent.
"Well, even if I can protect your two sisters, let me ask you, if someone covets Blue Dream Butterfly and Pan Xiangyun, will you do something about it?"
Bai Qing asked patiently and enticingly.
"Uh, that won't do either!"
Ding Ning blushed. These two girls had become his women without any reason. How could he sit back and do nothing?
"Then let me ask you again. Song Zi Yi is being used by others. Are you going to do something about it?"
Bai Qing felt reassured and asked calmly.
"Cough, cough, cough. Although there's nothing going on between us, I will never allow something like that to happen."
Ding Ning coughed twice and said righteously.
"Okay, then let me ask you, will you care about Jiang Yimeng being harassed?"
Bai Qing suddenly asked with a smile at the corners of his mouth.
"F * ck … That's your woman. Can't you do something about it?"
Ding Ning rolled his eyes gloomily and said grumpily.
Bai Qing spread out his hands and said helplessly, "It's not convenient for me to do something about it. My old master asked me to cut off the connection with her. If she is harassed, I can't intervene blatantly. So, after thinking about it, I can only rest assured if you take over Tiangong Entertainment. No, both of us can rest assured."
Ding Ning was speechless, lit a cigarette, and said with a sullen face, "Damn it, you know I'm right. If you want me to help you take care of Jiang Yimeng, just say it directly. You don't have to beat around the bush to say so much."
"Don't take it for granted. Such a good thing can't be snatched by others even if they want to. Just tell me, will you buy it or not?"
Bai Qing was too lazy to argue with him anymore. He snatched the cigarette from Ding Ning's mouth and put it in his own mouth.
"Well, I'll do you a favor. Name your price. I'll tell you that I'm short of money recently. If it's too expensive, I can't afford it!"
Ding Ning rolled his eyes, took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and began to bargain with him like a profiteer!
"You're so shameless. I want to give it to you for free. But although Tiangong Entertainment is my private property, I'm now the master of the Bai Family, so I must be selfless and give the Bai Family a reasonable explanation. After all, the initial capital of Tiangong Entertainment was the Bai Family."
Bai Qing rubbed his temples with a headache. "At least, I should be able to give it to the Bai Family."
"Don't be long-winded. You ask for a sky-high price and give me a low price. You have to give me a price!"
Ding Ning was really not short of money now. Although he gave the Wang Family's medical fee of 10 billion to Murong Yanran, Zhu Pengcheng's gold bricks had been sold. After paying more than 3 billion for the land of Dongli Villa, he still had more than 20 billion left, which was more than enough to buy Tiangong Entertainment.
"Do you think 2 billion is OK? After all, Tiangong Entertainment has great potential. Now it has more than a dozen A-list stars, Song Ziyi, the Heavenly Queen, and hundreds of B-list and C-list stars. As long as the resources are properly used, the money will be back in two or three years at most. "
Bai Qing asked with some uneasiness.
"Deal!"
Ding Ning was overjoyed. He thought he had to spend billions or even tens of billions to buy Tiangong Entertainment, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap. He immediately made the decision without hesitation.
"Ah, you don't bargain?"
Bai Qing's psychological price was 1.5 billion, but he didn't expect Ding Ning to make the decision directly with such a rich and imposing manner, which caught him off guard.
"You and I are good friends. 2 billion is only the price of a Banwan Villa, and I'll pay you back for selling the villa to me at a low price."
Ding Ning said hypocritically, pretending to be innocent after getting a bargain.
"Sh * t, then you said you don't have much money at hand. It seems that you still have money to spare!"
Bai Qing rolled his eyes and looked Ding Ning up and down maliciously.
Ding Ning covered his chest warily and shouted, "Hey, although we are friends, don't have any ideas about me. I don't like that."
"F * ck off. I'm thinking that since you have the money, you might as well do me another favor!"
Bai Qing touched his chin and rolled his eyes. No one knew what he was up to.
"Hey, that's enough. I've taken over your broken company. What else do you want?"
Ding Ning was a little scared and quickly warned him.
"Do you still remember my No.0 Villa?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qing's mouth. He believed that as long as Ding Ning had money in his hands, he would never let go of this opportunity.
"What do you mean? You want to give me No.0 Villa? I can consider it! "
Ding Ning was moved and asked with a cheeky smile, but he was very tempted. No.0 Villa was the most high-end, largest, most luxurious, and most expensive villa in the whole Ninghai. It was impossible for him not to want it for himself.
"Give it to you? In your dreams. Even brothers can settle accounts clearly. I will stay in Yan Jing for a long time in the future, and I will occasionally go to Ninghai for a few days at most. It's a waste to leave No.0 Villa empty there. Don't let the goodies flow to others. I'll just give it to you. That villa is the first villa I bought. It cost me only 1.2 billion when I bought it. Now I'll sell it to you at the original price. "
Bai Qing said with some pain. He had lived in No.0 Villa for so many years and had feelings for it. He was very reluctant to sell it.
"Two billion, I'll buy it!"
Ding Ning appreciated his kindness, but he didn't want to go too far. After all, No.0 Villa was so big that it was worth at least three or four billion now. Two billion was already cheap.
"Okay, you look like a nouveau riche. I'll just sell you several villas under my private name. I only need to keep two or three villas so that I can have a foothold when I come to Ninghai in the future!"
Bai Qing didn't refuse. After all, two billion was really not a lot.
"Tell me where it is first. I'll see what the price is. If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
Ding Ning was secretly happy. He knew that Bai Qing's villas were all in the bustling urban area. It was not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Now, although there were developers developing villas one after another, they were basically in the location of the suburbs. It was very inconvenient to travel. Even if one was rich, it was not so easy to buy a villa in the bustling area. It depended on one's character.
"I'll keep one in the Banwan Villa District, and I'll sell one more to you. One billion is enough!"
Bai Qing pondered for a moment. "There are three villas in Song Jiang Film and Television Base. You just need to pay one hundred million for each one."
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Although Song Jiang Film and Television Base was also very prosperous, after all, the terrain was not comparable to the downtown area like the Banwan Villa. It was reasonable that the price difference was very big. Ding Ning had no pressure to buy it. It was not that he wanted to speculate in real estate, but considering that Ye Huan and her sister, Xiangyun, and Mengdie had entered the entertainment circle, it was inevitable that they would shoot movies and TV series in the film and television base in the future. So, buying a few villas there would save them from running back and forth.
Then Bai Qing mentioned several villas in other places. They were all located in the downtown area, but the price was certainly not as good as the Banwan Villa. Ding Ning agreed to buy all of them without any pressure. In the end, he bought a total of nine villas. In addition to the three villas in the film and television base and the two villas in the Banwan Villa District, the other four villas were in the most prosperous areas of the urban area. Including the Tiangong Entertainment, the total price was 7.8 billion.
Ding Ning transferred the money directly without hesitation. Bai Qing laughed and scolded him as a nouveau riche. He paid the money in advance without going through the formalities. Wasn't he afraid that he would scam his money?
Ding Ning curled his lips indifferently. "If you, Childe Bai, don't even care about these billions, then you don't deserve to be my brother."
Bai Qing was a little moved. After all, it was not millions or tens of millions, but a huge sum of nearly eight billion. Even the Bai Family, a powerful family, would find it extremely difficult to take out such a large amount of liquid funds at once. The feeling of being trusted was really good!
But he didn't know that Ding Ning was secretly curling his lips. "In this world, there may be people who dare to scam my money, but you, Childe Bai, are definitely not included. If you really dare to scam me, I will let you die without any sense of rhythm in any minute."
After making an appointment to wait for Ding Ning to go through the transfer formalities after returning to Ninghai, Bai Qing left first. However, he remembered Ding Ning's warning that he should never bid for the king of jade with the half-open window.
According to the tradition of holding the public jade auction every year, there would be a half-gambling material with the half-open window as the king of jade, which would be publicly auctioned at the closing ceremony on the last day.
The half-gambling material was also called "half-clear material". It meant that a piece of raw stone was cut from the raw stone, which was the material used to open the door or the window. After polishing the two sides of the cut, the kind, color, and quality of the jade could be seen. The half-clear and half-unclear material, or the half-bright and half-dark material, depended on one's experience and luck.
This year was no exception. A half-gambling material with the size of a table was listed as this year's "king of jade". The place where the window was opened was green and full of water. After being identified by numerous stone-gambling enthusiasts and jewelers, it was considered to be the best imperial green, and there was a 90% chance that it would rise from gambling. Everyone desperately raised funds and rubbed their hands, deciding that they must win it.
