Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

After sending Xu Yike back to her apartment, the Porsche 918 returned to Caoshan and arrived at the Iwasaki Restaurant in Caoshan: Iwasaki Junko sent a message saying that she wanted to talk about the matter of Yaobian Tianmu, so Li Shuo naturally had to rush over.

As dinner time approached, Junko Iwasaki received Li Shuo in the Koten box. Before the dishes were served, she prepared a set of fine tea sets and personally performed a handicraft tea-making performance for Li Shuo.

After a series of delicate operations, a cup of tea was pushed in front of Li Shuo by Junko Iwasaki's scallion-like jade fingers:

“Please taste…”

"The fragrance is so fragrant that it lingers on your lips and teeth. Junko's craftsmanship is so extraordinary that even an amateur like me can feel it."

Li Shuo picked up the tea, took a sip, and praised it casually.

Iwasaki Junko smiled lightly, put down the teacup, and said to Li Shuo seriously:

"My intelligence shows that Li Jun went to the SC Club today. You should have discussed with Qi Tianlin about investing in this new force in Lenghai. I wonder what the result was? Is your career progressing smoothly?"

Hearing this, Li Shuo's heart skipped a beat: his meeting with Qi Tianlin today was a little weird inside and out, but because it was all good things, he didn't know how to reveal that feeling.

As his mind raced, Li Shuo pondered for a moment and finally decided to be honest. He said:

"The result was very good. I acquired 20% of the shares of SC Club by using a piece of land at the main entrance of the drama school. At the same time, I attended the SC Club Council and served as the club's vice president."

A hint of surprise flashed across Iwasaki Junko's beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, her smile spread, and she nodded sincerely to Li Shuo: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your trust in me and telling me such a confidential matter directly. Then, can I ask you a few more questions?"

"Of course, since I am willing to share secrets, I have something to ask Junko."

"I know everything and I will tell you everything!"

Iwasaki Junko nodded heavily, and then asked, "SC Club has leaked the news to qualified persons that 1000 million cash can be used to purchase 1% of Class A shares. If the investment exceeds 5000 million, the purchased shares will be automatically upgraded to Class B."

"I have two questions. You just said you used the land to buy 20% of the shares? No cash?"

Li Shuo could not hide the smug look on his face. This kind of achievement was useless to Xu Yike. The beautiful Fudan University campus belle would only look confused and would not understand the seriousness of his deal.

But Junko Iwasaki figured it out immediately.

But soon, Li Shuo restrained his complacency and nodded slightly, "Yes, that piece of land was worth about 2 million in cash."

Iwasaki Junko hit the nail on the head and emphasized, "You used a bad check to obtain shares worth 2 million, and you got Class B shares with voting rights, so you were able to join the board of directors and serve as vice president."

That's right, Li Shuo wrote a blank check, because he didn't own any land on the street near the main entrance of the drama academy. To be precise, Shuoguo's only asset was the ownership of He Yun's building.

Just by writing a blank check, he gained such a huge benefit. Is Qi Tianlin a fool? Are all the people in the SC club fools? This is why Li Shuo is so proud and guilty.

"Every time I see you, Mr. Li, I seem to be able to witness different surprises in you. Such a handwriting is really surprising, amazing, and admirable from the bottom of my heart!"

Iwasaki Junko made no secret of her approval of Li Shuo's move.

Li Shuo thought for a moment and said modestly, "The deal has not been concluded yet. I have not fully understood some of the key points, so it is too early for Miss Junko to praise me."

"No, Qi Tianlin will definitely push the deal through. As far as I know, he has already issued an order within the SC club to post a notice on the official website and select some staff members to be specifically assigned to you."

"Oh? Qi Tianlin is so righteous? I didn't expect this."

"Goose Goose"

Iwasaki Junko laughed out loud, which was rare. Then she immediately covered her face with the long sleeves of her kimono. She looked at Li Shuo with her eyes wide open and said, "Mr. Li is testing me and wants to know what I think, right? In fact, you can just ask me directly. Since I acted like I knew everything about SC Club in front of you, I naturally had to tell you this..."

Li Shuo is not a person who is so humble in everything. He has always been humble in front of Iwasaki Junko and he is indeed trying to test her thoughts.

Hearing this, Li Shuo praised her generously: "Junzi is really smart. No, maybe Miss Junzi is more than just smart..."

Intelligence often describes small cleverness, but if one can reach the level of controlling the SC club, then it is great wisdom.

Iwasaki Junko couldn't help showing a proud look on her pretty face, and smiled lightly: "Okay, Junko won't continue praising Li Jun here. Now I will tell you why Qi Tianlin treated you like this..."

"SC Club came to Lenghai and had a typical competitive relationship with SV Club. For this reason, before he came, he actually reached an agreement with the Yu brothers and sisters, agreeing to allocate 30% of the shares to be subscribed by the Yu brothers and sisters."

"Perhaps Li Jun also knows that I am the largest shareholder of the SV Club, but due to the irresistible reasons of international relations, I have never appeared on the list of shareholders of the SV Club... The same is true for the SC Club. If the Yu brothers and sisters subscribe to 30% of the shares, then I will not appear on the list..."

"But just when I was in trouble, I met Li Jun. Junzi deeply admired Li Jun's personality charm and ability. Moreover, your influence on this city is also rising rapidly..."

"Culture has a silent effect. Perhaps you yourself have no idea about it, but it is undeniable that you have an increasingly strong control over the art and culture of this city. This will also be your influence in Lenghai. So I think that instead of me investing in SC Club, it is better for Li Jun to invest. You are a more suitable person for SC Club than me..."

Li Shuo was very shocked. He believed Iwasaki Junko's words at the first time, because only in this way could he explain why Qi Tianlin agreed to give him 20% of the shares so quickly. Of course, there were some differences in the middle, such as why Iwasaki Junko said 30%, but he was only given 20%, but these were not important. The important thing was that Li Shuo finally found the source of such huge benefits.

He looked at Iwasaki Junko and asked directly: "Junko, you pushed such a big gift to me, what do you want?"

Iwasaki Junko smiled slightly and raised three fingers:

"First, Iwasaki Corporation will invest in Shuoguo Group. Please ask Mr. Li to allocate at least 10% of the shares. This is an investment company I established overseas. I can only allocate Class A shares because my company only wants to distribute dividends and does not participate in commercial operations..."

"Secondly, Li Jun himself needs to sign a contract with Sony Agency... not Sony Music, but Sony Agency. Iwasaki Corporation holds 60% of the company's shares. Li Jun can sign the most relaxed agency agreement. The company promises you that it will not interfere with your life, but your original cultural works such as music and scripts must be fully entrusted to the company and handed over to the company for operation... Of course, since you already have an operating channel like Shuoguo Culture, the company can cooperate with Shuoguo Culture to distribute it. The details can be discussed later..."

"As for the third one, I haven't decided yet, so I'll keep it for now..."

Li Shuo knew that since Iwasaki Junko could make him a major shareholder of the SC Club, she could easily change her mind, so he listened to Iwasaki Junko's conditions very carefully. As a result, this woman suddenly did this, which caught Li Shuo off guard. He said with a smile: "Are you still imitating Zhao Min here?"

"Who is Zhao Min?" Junko Iwasaki was stunned. Although she was an expert on China, she obviously had not read "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Li Shuo naturally did not explain, and instead said: "If there are any reservations, you must remember to use them. Otherwise, I am not a trustworthy person. Once the investment in SC Club is completed, I might regret it."

Iwasaki Junko smiled and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. It was originally a temporary condition. Besides, Li Jun's investment in SC Club is in the interests of everyone: I don't have to stand in front of the stage. SC Club has gained the most promising partner of Lenghai, and Li Jun has also gained the opportunity to accelerate growth. I just went with the flow and did something to add icing on the cake..."

She said it lightly, but Li Shuo had a vague feeling that Iwasaki Junko had bigger plans for him. Apart from anything else, her two conditions were extremely complicated.

"I haven't agreed to your first two conditions yet. The first condition is that you want to invest in Shuoguo Group, which is absolutely impossible. Even if you give me the SC Club, it is not enough to make up for the 10% stake in Shuoguo Group..."

Iwasaki Junko smiled and said, "I will show up with money. According to the price-earnings ratio of each company under the Shuoguo Group, it is 20 times..."

This is a valuation that is about 2 times the premium. According to the current profit scale of the five major companies under the Shuoguo Group, even a 10% stake would require an investment of more than 20 billion yuan.

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes, and was really excited at this moment: although he has become a rich man now, the total of all his assets that can be easily converted into cash may be less than 10 billion - the company's valuation and market value are actually paper numbers before they are converted into cash. The only assets he holds with good liquidity are B currency and Shuoguo Asset's real estate, and these two can be quickly converted into cash.

If Li Shuo had 20 billion in cash now, he would definitely rush to the United States immediately and trade B currency there for a year. The highest increase of B currency in 11 years was 30 times. By the end of the year, he will return with 600 billion. By then, he will be a winner in life, or even the richest man in the country.

But soon, Li Shuo shook his head and flatly refused: "Shuoguo is not for sale. If Junzi is interested, she can invest in the branch company..."

Iwasaki Junko was not disappointed and quickly said, "Then invest in Shuoguo Culture, but I need 49% of the shares at a price of 30 times the price-earnings ratio!"

Li Shuo squinted at her and vaguely guessed that "investing in Shuoguo Group" might be a trick of Iwasaki Junko. Her original target might be Shuoguo Culture. Yu Nuannuan had also been keeping an eye on Shuoguo Culture. In the near future, he would discuss with Yu Nuannuan about her investment in Shuoguo Culture!

Iwasaki Junko looked back at him with clear eyes and seemed very frank. It must be said that her face shape matched her temperament very well. Her apple face was slightly chubby, her facial features were well-proportioned, and her doe-like eyes were very distinctive. She was the type that became more attractive the more you looked at her.

As he was watching, Li Shuo suddenly asked, "Yu Nuannuan wants to invest in Shuoguo Culture. Was that your idea?"

Iwasaki Junko quickly replied: "No, to be precise, I just told the two brothers and sisters to pay attention to the cultural development of Lenghai. It was she who saw the potential of Shuoguo Culture. But after I read the information about Shuoguo Culture, I felt that Yu Nuannuan still saw the company clearly. It has the potential to become the No. 1 cultural company in China!"

“Even if you win first place, what can you do if you only get dividends?”

"Investment is of course for the purpose of making money. The Iwasaki family's first priority in overseas investment is always to maintain asset appreciation. Of course, because of the special relationship between China and Japan, we focus more on cultural publicity and influence, but these are all later matters, so there is no need to consider this for the time being..."

In other words, there is a plan similar to "cultural conquest of China"?

Li Shuo's mind was opened up, but his vigilance was lowered: all the conspiracies and tricks, when put on the table, would not seem so scary.

He frowned and said, "I need to maintain absolute control over Shuoguo Culture. Shuoguo Culture already has some shareholders, so I can only give you 20% of the shares at most!"

Iwasaki Junko frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Li, at least in the near future, the value of SC Club is far greater than Shuoguo Culture. I cannot accept the value exchange of equal shares!"

Li Shuo also felt that his conditions were too much, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Chunzi, don't forget that I also promised Yu Nuannuan 5% of the subscription rights. What's the difference between the Yu brothers and sisters taking shares and you taking them?"

Iwasaki Junko's face lightened up a bit, and she continued, "You need to let me control at least 30% of the shares. I will become the second largest shareholder in the company after you, and I can also use overseas resources to help you. Believe me, the Iwasaki family's hidden power around the world is an invaluable asset!"

"I don't care about the Iwasaki family or anything like that, because I believe that only what you create with your own hands is your own strength!"

Li Shuo's tone was firm and decisive. His momentum burst out in an instant, causing Iwasaki Junko's face to change color. But then, he slowed down his voice and said, "But I am willing to be your friend, Junko. 30% of the shares, 1.8 million subscription fee!"

Yang Kangcheng and Yu Nuannuan bought a 5% stake, spending 3000 million yuan. The price of 1.8 million yuan came from this. They all joined with certain backgrounds or conditions, so the price was already the lowest.

Iwasaki Junko knew this, of course, and finally smiled when she heard it: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for recognizing our friendship..."

The atmosphere instantly warmed up, and Li Shuo's tone became softer: "As for the signing with Sony..."

Iwasaki Junko rolled her eyes at him like a little girl and said angrily, "Mr. Li, this condition is not to make you sign a harsh agency agreement, but to value your originality. I hope that the signature of your original works in the future can be changed from 'Li Shuo' to 'Sony Li Shuo'. From a global perspective, this will only benefit you. You won't even care about this, right?"
