"Have you really made up your mind?" Ling Chen asked.
Yang Chengfeng nodded, "Yes. Rest assured, Mr. Ling, I won’t go back on my word. How about this, to not delay things further, why don’t we sign the contract now? What do you think?"
Yang Chengfeng had thought it through. As long as he sold 51% of the company’s shares to Ling Chen, it would be like boarding Ling Chen’s ship. With Ling Chen as the backing, there was no business that couldn’t be profitable. Compared to the 51% of shares, this deal was truly worthwhile.
Not to ntion selling them, he was willing to give them to Ling Chen for free.
"Alright then." Ling Chen smiled and said, "Assistant Dong, could you please draft a few contracts for ?"
"Yes."
"Young lady, it looks like you still have to go back. But this ti, you won’t be working for soone else. How about it, are you interested?"
Tang Shiyun excitedly nodded, "Sure! Ling, from now on, you’re my boss."
Not long after, Dong Ying prepared several contracts. Once both parties confird the price, Ling Chen briskly signed his na. From this mont on, he had acquired a new identity: Chairman of Silver Star Entertainnt Company.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ling, I hope the company thrives under your leadership." Yang Chengfeng’s face blossod with joy; he initially thought he was finished, not expecting such a turn of events. He didn’t know whether to curse his son or praise him. If it weren’t for Yang Haiyi’s antics, he wouldn’t have had the chance to board Ling Chen’s ship.
Ling Chen waved his hand with a smile, "President Yang, although I’m the major shareholder of the company, you’ll be responsible for its managent. I’ll only oversee the dividends, and also..." Speaking here, Ling Chen turned to look at Tang Shiyun, "Young lady, from now on, you can do whatever you want, follow your own interests. I’m not expecting you to make money for , as long as you’re happy."
Tang Shiyun nodded, beaming, "Thank you, Ling."
After handling these matters, Ling Chen escorted Yang Chengfeng and his son, along with Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong, to the company entrance and waved goodbye. Since Tang Shiyun was rejoining the company, the new song release initially scheduled for today would proceed as planned.
After sending off Tang Shiyun, Ling Chen returned to his office, looked at Dong Ying who entered with him, and asked, "Assistant Dong, have you calculated our annual total profit?"
Dong Ying didn’t expect Ling Chen to ask this question, but still answered truthfully, "Chairman, I haven’t compiled it yet, but if you need, I can ask the finance departnt to estimate a rough figure."
"Alright, have them handle it."
Ling Chen had a rough plan in mind. He now possessed so much money, more than he could spend. For him, money was just a string of numbers. However, leaving this money idle in the bank seed wasteful; with so much spare cash, he might as well invest it. After all, money is never too little, the more, the better.
Soon, Dong Ying handed the annual total profit figure to Ling Chen.
Tweny-four billion!
This figure included the annual inco of Falcon Private Security Company and the total revenue of all entertainnt venues in Beijing. After deducting labor and other expenses, 24 billion was the final total profit. Plus the assets and shares transferred from the Secret Society, the net profit each year was around 100 billion.
"Hundred billion a year, roughly one billion could establish a branch of Dragon Tiger Hall..." Ling Chen murmured, contemplating how to spend the money.
"Chairman." Dong Ying spoke up beside him, "If you’re considering investnts, I have a suggestion."
"Oh, really?" Ling Chen asked with interest, "What suggestion, tell ."
"Given that we have substantial liquid funds, I think we could emulate Hongyu Group and establish an investnt company. As far as I know, Hongyu United Investnt Company has fifteen shareholders; without the entire Hongyu Group, they couldn’t co up with so much money for investnts. We’re different; we have sufficient funds and can go solo. In this way, all the profits would be ours."
"Are you talking about venture capital?"
"Although venture capital yields high profits, it also carries significant risk; a slight mistake could result in complete loss. I think we should develop steadily, allocate so funds to projects with minimal risks, where profit margin matters less as long as there’s no loss. anwhile, we should set aside so funds for venture capital, where profit is certainly beneficial, but even if there’s a loss, other projects’ profits can cover it."
Ling Chen nodded, "Makes sense. Alright, prepare a draft proposal for to review, and if it’s satisfactory, we’ll proceed to establish this investnt company promptly."
"Understood." Dong Ying responded and then walked out of the office.
After wrapping up all his tasks, Ling Chen stood up and, moving to the window, stretched leisurely. Although being a chairman mostly involved sitting around, it was actually exhausting, especially handling various company affairs, leaving him almost dizzy.
Right then, Ling Chen’s sharp intuition suddenly sensed a piercing gaze.
"Who’s there?" Ling Chen turned to look around, but saw no one. He chuckled at himself; he was too high-strung, as there was no one else in the entire office. Perhaps the recent period’s stress had him too on edge, he needed to find a mont to relax.
With this thought, Ling Chen packed his belongings and left the office directly.
...
"Did he notice you?"
In the building opposite Falcon Private Security Company, an old man strolled over, looked at the person by the window, and asked.
"He likely sensed it, his reaction is quite sharp. If he were an assassin, he’d be a terrifying one."
The old man sat beside him, holding a teapot, sipping slowly, "Qin Chuan, what do you think our next move should be?"
"Wait and see."
At this mont, the two in the room were none other than the long-missing Qin Chuan and Su He.
"I’ve called in all the assassins who were on missions elsewhere. Although not many, it’s sufficient."
Su He nodded, "Personnel isn’t my concern, I’m worried about the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
"Now we’re operating in the shadows, and Ling Chen isn’t aware of our whereabouts, why not just kill him outright?" Qin Chuan asked perplexedly, "Once Ling Chen is dead, other tasks will beco much easier."
"You’ve observed, Chen Junfeng and Ji Gang are constantly with Ling Chen. With two Heavenly List experts protecting him, what are the odds of our success? Ling Chen is a clever man; he knows I won’t let him off, so he’s definitely prepared. Therefore, the timing isn’t ripe for action yet."
