The lawyer and the financial officer had finished their inspection, found no issues, and compiled a report for Xu Yang to review.

After looking at the report, Xu Yang got straight to the point, “President Yu, your company doesn’t have any legal or financial problems, so I’ve decided to go ahead with the acquisition. Please give me your price.”

Yu Liang was overjoyed, “President Xu, since you’re so sincere, I won’t say much. I’ll give you a discount; you can have it for four billion.”

Xu Yang rolled his eyes, “President Yu, I may be sincere, but you’re not. Four billion and you call that a discount? Do you think I’m a fool? If you’re not going to be sincere, there’s nothing for us to discuss. I’ll take my leave!”

Having said that, Xu Yang got up to leave.

“President Xu, don’t go.” Seeing Xu Yang was about to leave, Yu Liang immediately became anxious, hurriedly stood up, “President Xu, we can discuss the price. Please, have a seat, have a seat!”

This guy, he’s not playing by the rules at all.

Aren’t prices meant to be negotiated?

I quoted high, so you could bargain.

But just leaving, what’s that supposed to mean?

Yu Liang was also frustrated.

Xu Yang didn’t sit down but said, “President Yu, I have already shown my sincerity. If you’re still not going to be sincere, then I really think we have nothing to discuss.”

Yu Liang said, “President Xu, why don’t you make an offer? If I think it’s acceptable, we’ll have a deal. How about that?”

As long as the price Xu Yang offered wasn’t too outrageous, he would accept it.

Because he truly didn’t want to be trapped in this company anymore.

The rampant state of piracy, who knows when it will change? It might never change, or he might not live to see the day it does.

In the past, he thought that as society developed and progressed, the state would place more emphasis on cultural and intellectual property rights. So, he founded the company and acquired various cultural copyrights at low prices, expecting that once they were given more importance by the state, their values would greatly increase, yielding a substantial profit.

But after waiting for more than a decade, there were no results, and he was losing patience.

It seemed like waiting for the country to pay attention to this matter was an indefinite prospect, so he might as well cut his losses.

“Three billion!” Xu Yang extended three fingers.

Based on the financial evaluation, the company was worth approximately three billion two hundred million.

Of course, Xu Yang wanted to press for a lower price.

“President Xu, could you add a little more?” Yu Liang asked.

“I can’t add more. I believe your company is worth that much. Of course, buying and selling should be consensual. I’m not forcing you. If you don’t think it’s okay, I’ll just look for another copyright company. There are plenty of them for sale right now,” Xu Yang put pressure on Yu Liang.

“Fine, then three billion!” Yu Liang didn’t hesitate much and accepted the offer.

“It’s a pleasure doing business with you,” Xu Yang said with a smile as he extended his hand.

“A pleasure doing business,” Yu Liang shook hands with Xu Yang.

Next up were drafting and signing the contract.

After the partnership was signed and the transition completed, Xu Yang transferred three billion to Yu Liang.

With that, Xu Yang became the new owner of Pioneer Culture Copyright Company.

First thing, he had his vice-president call a meeting with the company employees.

At the meeting, Xu Yang announced a twenty percent salary increase for the employees.

Hearing about a raise from the new boss right off the bat, the employees were very happy.

This kind of boss is what workers like the most.

Then he said some things a new boss should say, motivational stuff and so on.

After the meeting, Xu Yang asked the vice-president to stay behind.

This vice-president was named Huang Zhigang, a company veteran, who had always worked diligently and earnestly.

Xu Yang had just asked Yu Liang who would be the most suitable candidate to be promoted from within the staff to general manager.

Yu Liang named Huang Zhigang.

It was clear that Yu Liang highly recognized Huang Zhigang’s work.

Xu Yang got straight to the point and said, “Huang, from now on, you will be the company’s general manager, fully responsible for the company’s business management.”

Suddenly promoted to general manager, Huang Zhigang felt happiness had come too unexpectedly.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He had thought that the new boss would take the position of general manager himself or arrange one of his trusted aides to manage the company.

He hadn’t expected to be made the general manager directly.

However, having served many years as the deputy, he had the composure and began to express his stance, “Thank you for your trust, Mr. Xu. Rest assured, I will definitely do a good job managing the company.”

Xu Yang was very satisfied with Huang Zhigang’s attitude and nodded, “As the new general manager, your first task is to make your utmost efforts to negotiate with various copyright and cultural companies to acquire copyrights to various cultural and knowledge-based works.”

Huang Zhigang said with difficulty, “Mr. Xu, acquisitions will undoubtedly cost a lot of money, and the company doesn’t have much.”

Xu Yang replied, “Don’t worry, if I ask you to acquire, I will naturally provide the funds. I will deposit ten billion yuan into the company’s account. I want you to spend all these ten billion within three months. If you don’t, you won’t need to remain as general manager.”

Yu Liang was dumbstruck.

Ten billion to be spent in three months meant spending over three billion a month.

Moreover, it was a mandatory task, if he didn’t spend it all, he could no longer be the general manager.

And he was being forced by the boss to spend money.

One had to say, this young boss was truly exceptional.

Being pressured to spend money like this was something he had never encountered before.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

However, thinking about holding ten billion and approaching various copyright and cultural companies to acquire rights, that feeling of being treated like a god of wealth must be exhilarating.

With this thought, Huang Zhigang snapped back to reality and immediately said, “Rest assured, Mr. Xu, I will definitely complete the task!”

What a joke!

Earning money isn’t easy, but spending it? Isn’t that easy?

Not to mention ten billion—even twenty billion could be spent.

Xu Yang said, “Huang, don’t think that ten billion is a lot. You still have to negotiate and cut deals. If I find that you’ve acquired copyrights at unreasonably high prices, the consequences will be very serious, understand?”

He naturally had to make his point clear and give Huang Zhigang a heads-up.

Otherwise, if Huang Zhigang were to recklessly spend money and then take kickbacks, that would be unacceptable.

His money did not come from the wind; it was earned through the system.

It might be even easier than if it had been blown in by the wind, but it still couldn’t be spent recklessly.

Reckless spending is a sin!

Huang Zhigang’s heart chilled, and he immediately said, “Rest assured, Mr. Xu, I understand. I will definitely acquire various rights at the most reasonable prices!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction, “Very good.”

Huang Zhigang hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mr. Xu, may I ask why you are doing this? As you know, piracy of various rights is rampant right now. Take the recently released movie ‘War Leopard’ for example; it’s easily found online and can be watched directly, almost the same as paying to watch the legitimate version on a video website.”

Xu Yang laughed, “You’ll know once you’ve spent the ten billion within three months.”

He certainly couldn’t say that the National Copyright Bureau would launch a special campaign to rectify the piracy of cultural and knowledge copyrights three months later.

This was a top-secret operation. If the news leaked, the entire market would become chaotic.

In the end, he himself might be invited for a ‘tea chat.’

“Alright.” Knowing he wouldn’t get any more information, Huang Zhigang didn’t ask further.

All he needed to do was to do his job well.

After Xu Yang transferred ten billion yuan into the company’s account and admonished Huang Zhigang to do his job well again, he left.
