CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 195 Okay! I'll wait for your message!

The three-story office building and mixed-use building that Lu Yiming acquired on the banks of the Xiangjiang River.

The renovation was originally expected to be completed after the Lunar New Year.

But Lu Yiming really gave too much.

The renovation company created a miracle for Lu Yiming.

The acceptance test was completed in mid-month.

The decoration materials used were of high standard, and the formaldehyde levels were within acceptable limits even after two days of exposure.

That is, within the two days that Lu Yiming started broadcasting.

Apart from Fanxing Youxuan Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Funan Fanxing Pangu Technology Co., Ltd., Lu Yiming owns other companies.

They moved to an office building by the Xiangjiang River.

This allows Lu Yiming to see the company located across the river from his home.

Nine in the morning.

Lu Yiming received a call from Cao Siyun.

He arrived at the company ten minutes later.

Cao Siyun waited at the door.

On their way to the meeting room, Cao Siyun gave a brief overview of the current situation.

"So, this Mr. Zhang is here to seek cooperation?"

Cao Siyun nodded upon hearing this.

This is exactly the conclusion she reached through analysis.

As they walked, one of them said, "Shark Platform's stock price has fallen to an all-time low. They've definitely come here to seek your cooperation, Mr. Lu, and I'm sure the price they're offering won't be low."

Hear this.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Understood! This time they're here to take a cut, but we don't know what their bottom line is. How's the thing I asked you to do?"

Lu Yiming has always had ideas about the Shark platform.

Unfortunately, the system did not grant him his wish.

for the system.

He always thought that he would get whatever he wanted.

But at this point, it seems...

It's because the system's rewards to him always exceeded his expectations.

This led him to mistakenly believe that it was simply for his own needs.

Upon hearing this, Cao Siyun said, "I have already acquired 4.9% of the shares on the secondary market for 92 million, as requested by President Lu."

Four point nine percent is not the limit of Lu Yiming's current financial resources.

However, acquiring 5% of the shares on the secondary market would require fulfilling the acquisition obligation.

This will definitely be announced.

But once this news is announced...

It's impossible to acquire so many shares from the secondary market at the current low price.

Moreover, the entire secondary market actually only holds 40% of the shares of Shark Platform.

Lu Yiming purchased 4.9%.

It is only 4.9% of this 40% share.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Stop the acquisition! Keep this portion of the shares. Also, calculate how much cash I currently have available and send it to my phone later. Since I'm here, I'll see if we can reach an agreement. If not, I'll give up on the Shark platform."

The two had already reached the meeting room door.

Cao Siyun gave Lu Yiming a knowing look as she opened the door for him.

The door opened and Mr. Zhang's gaze fell upon the conference room.

Lu Yiming walked into the conference room.

Mr. Zhang stood up and said, "Mr. Lu! Congratulations! The Zhulong project is incredible!"

Zhulong is a truly high-tech project.

Moreover, it is a key project that the government is paying close attention to.

Even if such projects are still in the research and development stage, as long as they achieve even a little bit of success, they will become market darlings and targets for investment from major investment institutions.

But Lu Yiming silently produced the finished product.

at this time.

Lu Yiming walked to the head seat and sat down.

He looked at President Zhang and smiled, "Luck! Just luck! President Zhang, you certainly didn't come here just to congratulate me, did you?"

Lu Yiming still preferred to get straight to the point.

I'm not used to doing those superficial things.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang smiled and nodded.

He then looked at his assistant.

After understanding, the assistant took out a document.

This is an equity transfer agreement, which stipulates that Lu Yiming will receive 5% of the shares of Shark Platform, in exchange for Lu Yiming joining its board of directors.

I must say, Mr. Zhang's move was brilliant.

Although the market value of Shark Platform has fallen below $300 million.

But at least it's worth over two billion Chinese yuan.

This is tantamount to giving Lu Yiming a hundred million for free.

But is he really that kind-hearted?

Lu Yiming smiled as he looked at the contract.

It's not hard to guess that Shark Platform's purpose is to try and win him over so that the stock price can rebound.

Not much to say.

Given his current influence.

There's absolutely no problem with the stock price rising back to over $1.

This can do more than just solve the impending delisting crisis facing the Shark platform.

Moreover, after he acquired these shares...

It is inevitable that I will need to contribute to the shares I hold.

It should be noted that this was stated in the contract.

Lu Yiming cannot transfer these shares within three years.

Even if a transfer is made, it will be given priority to board members.

All I can say is that they've played their cards right.

at this time.

Lu Yiming was reading the contents of the document.

Mr. Zhang slowly said, "Mr. Han's previous actions against you were merely the actions of his faction. The company has now completely eliminated Mr. Han's faction. Originally, Mr. Lu, there wasn't much conflict between you and the platform."

At this time.

Lu Yiming's phone, which was on the table, lit up briefly.

I also saw the content above.

Lu Yiming put down the contract and pushed it in front of General Manager Zhang's assistant.

He then shook his head and said, "I really don't have any conflict with the platform itself, but my fans won't think that way. Although they miss the days I spent on the Shark platform, if I were to choose to return, I would need a more appropriate time and identity. If I were to choose to go back too easily, wouldn't that make me seem like I have no principles?"

It is clear.

Lu Yiming was implying that the current price was not enough.

Zhang was prepared that 10% wouldn't be enough to win Lu Yiming's heart.

But negotiations always involve a lot of back and forth.

No one reveals their bottom line as soon as they sit down at the negotiating table.

at this time.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Lu! Although Shark Platform has encountered internal problems, its cash flow has always been very healthy. The current market value is only due to some short-selling institutions forcibly shorting it. The actual market value is at least three times the current value."

As he spoke, he pushed the contract that Lu Yiming had sent over to the middle of the two of them.

This is an implication that as long as Lu Yiming accepts...

They will then begin working on boosting the stock price.

However, this step was within Lu Yiming's expectations, and he did not refuse because of the price.

He immediately laughed and said, "I remember that many of the platform's shareholders seem to be from President Han's faction. I wonder if President Zhang's talk of eliminating President Han's faction includes these people."

During the conversation, Lu Yiming used his Detection Eye on General Manager Zhang.

Name: Mr. Zhang

Relationship: Pending (The other party seems interested in establishing a cooperative relationship with you.)
Current mood: turbulent (seemingly unable to make a certain decision).
Physical condition: Sub-healthy (requires sufficient sleep and adequate rest.)
Favorability rating: 77 (Please be skeptical of what he says.)
I have to say this skill is really useful.

Especially the information provided by the current mood.

This would make it easier for Lu Yiming to see through people's hearts.

Zhang Zong could understand what Lu Yiming was implying; he simply wanted to know how Lu Yiming planned to deal with these people.

In fact.

Mr. Zhang and the people behind him do not want to deal with these opportunists.

In any case, they won't interfere with the company's actual management.

It's a good thing to let them hold these shares.

At this moment, Lu Yiming brought them to the table.

After careful consideration, General Manager Zhang looked at Lu Yiming and said, "General Manager Lu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Lu Yiming had conducted a detailed investigation into the shares of the Shark platform.

In the stock market, 40% is held by Mr. Han, and of the remaining 60%, Mr. Zhang holds 29% on behalf of Mr. Han, and the remaining 18% is held by seven shareholders.

At the same time, they definitely still hold a certain 40% stake in the stock market.

It is estimated that at least one-third of them are.

Lu Yiming's initial idea was to use the system to acquire more than 50% of the shares of Shark Platform.

But the plan fell through.

Whether it was because the system didn't approve of it or because it was impossible to operate, Tianen Lu Yiming still hadn't obtained any shares in the Shark platform until last month.

However, the reward is far greater than the shares in the Shark platform.

at this time.

Lu Yiming said in a deep voice, "Besides this five percent, I also want to acquire about thirty percent of the shares. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can help me with this."

Holding more than 30% of the shares constitutes controlling interest.

They have a certain degree of influence.

Holding more than 50% of the shares is considered relative control.

They wield immense influence.

Holding more than 67 percent of the shares constitutes absolute control.

Have absolute right to speak.

Lu Yiming only needs to control 35% of the shares; those who have absolute power must be restrained by him.

Hear this.

Mr. Zhang frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected Lu Yiming to have such a big appetite.

at this time.

Mr. Zhang tentatively asked, "I wonder at what price Mr. Lu intends to acquire this 30%?"

If it's based on the current market value.

He can just say goodbye now.

Although Shark Platform's current market value is less than $300 million, it is simply impossible to acquire 30% of its shares for less than $100 million.

It can be said that Lu Yiming can be given 5%.

The reason is that they can see the benefits that will result from a successful collaboration.

This 5% was saved from the secondary market. After giving it to Lu Yiming, they will continue to invest in the stock market. Although they will reduce their holdings by some, the fact that everyone is reducing their holdings together means that no one has reduced their holdings. They can also cash out some of their shares.

The maximum sincerity he brought was 15%.

Five percent of it was obtained by Yang Chengshun at the board meeting that morning.

But only five percent can be given away for free.

Lu Yiming will have to pay a price if he wants the other 10%.

But at this moment, Lu Yiming surprisingly demanded an extra 30%.

This was beyond Mr. Zhang's expectations.

at this time.

Lu Yiming kept using his Detective Eye on President Zhang in front of him.

Current mood: anxious and uneasy

After obtaining the current result.

Lu Yiming said softly, "Ten billion!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming continued to use his Detective Eye on General Manager Zhang in front of him.

Current mood: Hesitant

From anxiety to hesitation.

This means that his offer at least met Mr. Zhang's expectations.

of course.

This is merely a baseline expectation.

Well known.

Market capitalization is all an illusion.

Cash in hand is the only real thing.

Given the current situation of the Shark platform, exchanging 30% of its shares for 1 billion yuan in cash is a deal that's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain.

If it's only 10% of the shares.

Mr. Zhang can make the decision directly on this matter, and Lu Yiming won't even need to spend 200 million.

But 30% is a different story.

This represents a loss of power.

Losing the initiative is not what the forces behind him want to see.

at this time.

Lu Yiming continued, “President Zhang! You should know my character! I personally don’t really like managing companies! As you can see from my current situation, the company is actually managed by others. My shareholding is essentially no different from those other people’s shareholding, and the benefits of my shareholding should even be greater than theirs.”

Hear this.

Mr. Zhang's mood shifted from hesitation to helplessness.

Do not know why.

Mr. Zhang felt as if Lu Yiming had seen through him.

These words struck a chord with him.

Hearing this, he looked at Lu Yiming with a completely convinced expression and said, "Mr. Lu! You've convinced me! However, I can't make a decision about this 30% stake. How about we stop here for today? I'll come back to bother you tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Lu Yiming smiled and nodded.

He naturally knew that General Manager Zhang couldn't make the decision on his own.

The two only talked for a little over ten minutes.

Watching Mr. Zhang leave with his assistant.

Cao Siyun, who was waiting at the door, cast an inquiring glance at Lu Yiming.

Meeting her gaze, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Just wait! I estimate there's at least a 60% chance they'll agree to this condition! They don't have time to waste with me!"

The current situation is that Lu Yiming can do without the Shark platform.

However, without Lu Yiming on the Shark platform.

The inevitable outcome is delisting.

The next morning.

Mr. Zhang visited Lu Yiming's company again.

Now that we are here.

This means that the possibility of cooperation has emerged.

"Mr. Lu! We basically agree to your conditions, but it may take a little longer. How about we start cooperating first? Five percent of the shares will still be given to you for free. I've also secured an additional ten percent, which I'll sell to you for 300 million. We can discuss the remaining fifteen percent with the other shareholders after you join the board of directors, how about that?"

At first, Lu Yiming's lips were turned up in a smile.

But as Mr. Zhang finished speaking...

Lu Yiming's expression turned cold.

As his words fell.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "No! I will not cooperate with the platform for less than 35% of the shares. I believe you have already investigated this, Mr. Zhang. I have arranged for someone to register the relevant procedures for the live streaming platform. The procedures are already more than halfway done. I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, it should be completed after the New Year."

Lu Yiming's attitude was strikingly clear.

The meaning of this statement is very simple: if we can't cooperate after the New Year, then we shouldn't cooperate at all.

Hear this.

Mr. Zhang's expression also froze.

He hadn't expected Lu Yiming to be so forceful.

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Lu Yiming wouldn't budge an inch even when offered 5% of the shares for free; this really doesn't seem like the behavior of a qualified capitalist.

But what he didn't know was.

From the moment he entered the room, his mood and state of mind were completely controlled by Lu Yiming.

This cheat is comparable to a negotiation tool.

Faced with Lu Yiming's tough stance at this moment.

Mr. Zhang can only be a loser.
