Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

At this point, Deputy Director Hou adopted an official tone: "General Manager Li, originally, we officials shouldn't interfere in your affairs, but the media reports on the dark side of society every day, which is really not good."

The higher authorities have taken this matter seriously. Although they can't easily intervene, they also can't expect you to report on these things every day. The media should still promote more positive energy!

A harmonious society is the foundation of economic development and the guarantee of its stability. Before this grand vision, all other issues must give way!

Li Xiaofeng said calmly, "Director Hou, of course I, Li Xiaofeng, would not dare to affect the overall situation, but as a company with a valuation of over 20 billion yuan, my Wanzhong Media's basic demands should be met!"

If even this basic request of mine can't be met, that's fine. I can move the company headquarters to Beijing, Shenzhen, or some other major city. I'm sure someone will welcome us!

Wanzhong Media's headquarters are located in Shanghai, and most of its taxes are paid there. If Li Xiaofeng really moves away in a fit of anger, it will greatly damage the performance of some officials and could directly affect their promotions.

Deputy Director Hou quickly smiled apologetically, "President Li, don't be angry or anxious. Things will eventually be resolved, but your request has to be feasible. We can't just condemn someone outright!"

While Chairman Wei may have made some shortcomings in certain matters, he has also made significant contributions to society over the years, helping countless impoverished families and the families of patients in dire need of medical treatment.

Li Xiaofeng said in a calm tone, "I'm not one to push people to the brink. There's a ready-made, workable solution right here. Mr. You, you should have a good talk with the Wei family father and son about cutting ties."

Chairman Wei, you don't need to worry about your business failing after the separation. I can offer a reasonable price to acquire your Wei family's advertising company.

"Of course, the price won't be too high, but I can guarantee that your Wei family will recoup your investment and make a profit of about 10%, which is much better than any other financial product on the market."

Then, Li Xiaofeng smiled at Deputy Director Hou and said, "Director Hou, do you think what I did was a win-win-win situation? President You got rid of a burden, and Chairman Wei didn't lose money, but actually made money."

Furthermore, I can promise you in person that once I complete this acquisition, all past grievances with the Wei family will be wiped clean.

Of course, if Young Master Wei is still not satisfied and wants to continue the competition after this is over, then I'll gladly oblige!

Li Xiaofeng appeared very magnanimous, but in reality, this plan not only thwarted the Wei family's plan to enter the advertising industry, but also completely widened the gap between Wanzhong Media and Hezhong Media.

The scale of Hezhong Media was already smaller than that of Hezhong Media to begin with, and now, with one added and the other subtracted, the gap between the two has become even larger.

As for the Wei family, it's not too late to deal with them when Li Xiaofeng's company goes public and his industry and network of connections become even stronger.

Currently, Wei Jianjun has sold off all of the Wei family's peripheral businesses, and the charity association has also suffered a severe blow. They will have to find other investment channels in the future.

Doing business is like rowing against the current; to some extent, not making money is losing money.

The saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day," and "Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily." The Wei family has worked hard for so many years; it's impossible to kill them with one blow. We must contain them little by little and weaken them bit by bit.

The right way is to wait until Li Xiaofeng has gained enough power before delivering a fatal blow to the Wei family.

After listening to Li Xiaofeng's words, Deputy Director Hou nodded in satisfaction and said, "I think this plan is feasible. President You won't suffer any major losses, and Chairman Wei won't suffer any major losses either. The matter can also be resolved satisfactorily."

Mr. Li, I underestimated you. Although you look very young, you have a lot of courage and a broad mind in your dealings with people!

"President You, Chairman Wei, what do you two think of President Li's proposal?"

Mr. You said with some difficulty, "Director Hou, our United Media Group is already smaller than Mr. Li's and his group, and now we have to sever ties with the Wei family..."

Deputy Director Hou said somewhat displeasedly, "President You, businesses are built from small to large. It's okay if it's small; you can take your time. President Li and his team started earlier than you, so it's normal for their scale to be larger!"

Mr. You had a wry smile on his face, thinking to himself that the market space in this sector was not very large to begin with, and once Mr. Li gained an absolute advantage, he could really monopolize this business.

But can Deputy Director Hou understand what he's saying?

As expected, Deputy Director Hou continued with a displeased expression: "President You, one should be magnanimous and broad-minded. You should learn this from President Li."

Don't be so competitive. As long as you manage it well, it will grow bigger eventually.

"You're just not going to partner with the Wei family in business anymore, what's the big deal? You can always partner with someone else!"

Hearing Deputy Director Hou's words, Li Xiaofeng was secretly pleased, but he only kept a smile on his face, as if he had already tried his best to compromise.

Deputy Director Hou is here to solve the problem. As long as the problem is solved, he will have successfully completed his mission. As for who benefits and who suffers losses, that is none of his business.

Moreover, in Deputy Director Hou's view, neither General Manager You nor the Wei family had suffered any losses, which was already the best way to resolve the issue.

He had previously put pressure on Li Xiaofeng, but seeing that he couldn't break Li Xiaofeng, he has now turned around and put pressure on President You.

President You smiled wryly and said to Wei Guoliang, "Chairman Wei, what's your opinion?"

Wei Guoliang remained silent, but Wei Jianjun said somewhat unwillingly, "President You, we signed a contract. At worst, we won't interfere in the company's management and will just be shareholders, okay?"

Everyone turned their attention to Li Xiaofeng, but Li Xiaofeng looked up at the ceiling and ignored everyone.

His meaning was very clear: No way!

Deputy Director Hou was somewhat angry and said in a flat tone, "Chairman Wei, we have been lenient enough with your matter. What, are you planning to have us set up a special working group to thoroughly investigate you?"

Even if you are a non-governmental organization, you can't act so recklessly. Don't you know how many problems exist within your organization?

Having no other choice, Wei Guoliang said, "Jianjun, let's forget about it. There are so many businesses in the world, we don't necessarily have to do this. We can always do other businesses."

Wei Jianjun looked helpless. Seeing that his father had already spoken, he could only nod.
