Chapter 648: Chapter 667: The F4 Boss Supergroup: Believe It or Not, We’ll Make You Bankrupt
Qian Xingxing, who was standing, was quickly surrounded.
Even though they weren’t as tall as him, the feeling of being boxed in on all sides was definitely unpleasant.
Just as he was about to speak, Han Laoda’s hand pressed down on his shoulder.
He was forced back down into a chair in the conference room.
The others sat back down around him, and a new round of negotiations began.
The atmosphere was now more tense than ever.
The topic of conversation had completely changed.
"The previous terms fell through, so let’s try a different approach."
The young Boss Wang placed his hands on the table, his expression highly aggressive. "We can make a large investment, but we demand that you terminate Juju’s contract and have her sign a new one."
"That new contract must be modeled after the one she signed with the Federal Company. The revenue split and livestreaming hours are non-negotiable and must be set according to our terms. Furthermore, you will transfer fourteen percent of your company’s shares to us."
This was their second move.
The "Boss F4" knew Qian Xingxing would never agree to this, so the last part was just something they threw in on top.
This...
Qian Xingxing felt helpless. "There’s no need to change her contract. It’s not a contract issue."
"The revenue split and livestreaming..."
"Mr. Qian, cut to the chase. Is it a yes or a no?"
’Of course not. If I accepted this, wouldn’t I just be freeloading off Qiuqiu’s fans?’ He shook his head, wanting to explain, but Han Laoda spoke first.
"Alright then. We can drop the demand for fourteen percent of the shares. All we need is for you to change Juju’s contract."
Giving up the fourteen percent stake was their final trump card.
What did this mean?
It meant that the fourteen-member magnate "supergroup" from Haiyun Star was prepared to just hand Qian Xingxing a Level 7 Main Brain and a Level 7 Mechanical Brain for free!
Qian Xingxing was genuinely stunned for a moment.
It wasn’t the money that surprised him, but the depth of their affection for Qiuqiu.
They were all businesspeople, and judging by the scale of their companies, they were very successful ones at that.
They were wealthy and generous, and exceptionally so toward those they admired.
’It just goes to show that selfishness isn’t a prerequisite for being a successful businessperson.’
...
A great many thoughts ran through his mind. ’If that’s the case,’ he thought, ’then I have even more reason not to take advantage of them.’ He shook his head.
"You’re refusing?!"
"Are you trying to jack up the price?"
"You think you’re invincible just because you’ve got Juju?"
Han Laoda stood up. "You should have looked into our companies before we came. We may not be interstellar giants, but we’re no pushovers."
"Being suppressed by Federation Live feels pretty bad, doesn’t it? Surely you don’t want your company to make more enemies?"
Sister Linglan, who had been silent for a long time, went straight for the jugular. "Your cash flow must be tight, right? A new company means new employees, too, right? Can a company even run without people?"
"Once your cash flow dries up, the company will go bankrupt, won’t it? Don’t think you’re holding all the cards just because you have Juju’s contract. We have plenty of ways to deal with you."
"That’s right!"
"Right!"
Old Xu punctuated the agreement with an intimidating glare that commanded the room.
This wasn’t the first time Qian Xingxing had been threatened with his company’s bankruptcy.
But the last time it happened, his heart had grown cold, and his eyes filled with despair.
But this time...
’It actually feels... quite heartwarming.’
The four of them stared at him, waiting for his response. He could finally get a full sentence in. "Things are not what you all think."
"It’s my fault for not explaining things clearly."
’To go this far for Qiuqiu... this is definitely true love.’
"I can let you all look over the contract Qiuqiu signed with my company. But before you see it, you’ll have to sign a non-disclosure agreement."
"A non-disclosure agreement?"
What was this now?
