Chapter 780: Chapter 470 Cooperation_2
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Tang Yijing, of course, would not pass up the opportunity to ally with Xu Jingsong, the best natural partner.
"Oh? I wonder in what areas does Gao Sheng want to cooperate with our Xu Group?" Xu Jingsong looked at Tang Yijing.
Xu Jingsong was naturally somewhat puzzled by Gao Sheng’s abrupt invitation to cooperate.
It should have been a good thing that the Xu Group could attract the attention of a capital tycoon like Gao Sheng.
But Xu Jingsong had also heard about Gao Sheng’s ruthless way of doing business, leaving no bone unswallowed.
Working with the capitalists on Wall Street, even if you were full of shrewdness, you would have to always guard against the day when someone sold you out and still had you counting the money...
"Hehe! I heard that Mr. Xu’s group is recently short of funds and is planning to venture into the field of internet finance?"
With a smile, Tang Yijing made a remark that caused Xu Jingsong’s heart to skip a beat.
Pegasus Venture Capital was backed by the Xu Group, and indeed, he was desperate for extra funds to plug financial gaps.
He wouldn’t be surprised by any piece of information taken out of context.
But the fact that the other party linked these two matters together definitely had an implication...
These guys... could it be they have already found out about the covert operations he was conducting?
He grew even more wary of Gao Sheng behind Tang Yijing.
He furrowed his brows.
"Mr. Tang, I don’t know where you got your information from, but our company has never had any plans to enter the field of internet finance.
There must be some misunderstanding here, I’m afraid someone is spreading rumors!"
Although the organization and relations behind the scenes all depended on the Xu Group’s influence.
In terms of legality, Pegasus Venture Capital had absolutely no ties to the Xu Group, and the legal person pushed to the front was just an insignificant character.
Even the funds were routed through a series of shell companies and "Nomadic Film" as a firewall, winding several turns before entering the associated accounts of the Xu Group, appearing as book profits on the Xu Group’s financial statements.
The flow of funds in the film industry is highly manipulable.
Make a movie claiming to invest billions, but where the money ultimately goes, no one can say for sure.
This is also the reason why dirty money loves to be invested in films.
One word... Launder!
Of course, even if someone traced it back to the Xu Group, Xu Jingsong was not the least bit afraid.
By selling appearances, the Xu family had completely boarded Hong Tianfang’s big ship and were, not too big or small, also considered "second-tier nobility"...
When the time came, they could thrust forward one or two scapegoats, split the common people’s money sixty-forty, and return the gentry’s money in full...
The Xu family would remain completely unscathed!
Dynasties might change, but history always repeats itself.
It’s just that today’s "Mr. Huang" is more concealed...
Xu Jingsong’s denial was naturally within Tang Yijing’s expectations.
"Hehe! Mr. Xu, please don’t misunderstand me, we mean no offense. Since we want to cooperate, naturally we have done some prior research on the needs of our partner.
If your company is short of cash, Gao Sheng can provide a sum of low-interest overseas funds.
If you desire to venture into the field of finance, we can even provide a batch of experienced traders.
You should know, in the field of capital, Gao Sheng is absolutely experienced."
"Oh?"
Now Xu Jingsong was completely stunned.
Offering money when asked for money, personnel when asked for personnel, was their sincerity for cooperation really so abundant?
Xu Jingsong did not believe in pie falling from the sky, especially not from a "vampire"...
"Then... what can the Xu family do to help Gao Sheng?"
Tang Yijing smiled and spoke frankly, laying out Gao Sheng’s intentions.
"So, you’ve set your sights on Baiyeji and Changqing Biological..."
Xu Jingsong finally came to a realization.
Immediately, he was overjoyed!
This was like being offered a pillow when you’re dozing off, heaven was truly helping him!
Seeing Gao Yuan building high-rises while he was beset with difficulties inside and out, approaching the verge of a collapse.
Whether it was the fear of Gao Yuan’s future retaliation or Xu Jingsong’s own pitiful pride, he made his choice in his heart without the slightest hesitation!
With Gao Sheng, the powerful dragon, coupled with Xu, the local snake...
Under the alliance of the strong, no matter how capable Gao Yuan was, she was bound to take a big fall!
"Mr. Tang, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"
"Hehe! A pleasant cooperation indeed!"
...
After sending off Tang Yijing, Cui Jizhong, who had witnessed the entire process, said hesitantly.
"Mr. Xu, have you really decided to collaborate with Gao Sheng?"
Xu Jingsong’s face was filled with a joyful smile.
"Why not? With them, we can resolve the group’s current financial issues and join forces to deal with Gao Yuan. I really can’t think of a reason to refuse."
"But..."
Cui Jizhong wanted to say something more, but Xu Jingsong cut him off.
"Enough, Jizhong. You’re just too timid, always worrying about the consequences. In this world, the bold thrive while the timid starve! Maybe this time, we could even expand our business overseas with the help of Gao Sheng..."
Xu Jingsong’s eyes twinkled with a sharp light.
It was time to prepare a backup plan for himself...
"Right, you mentioned last time that Gao Yuan was also investing in movies?"
As though remembering something, Xu Jingsong suddenly asked.
"Yes, didn’t you assign me the task of overseeing Nomadic Film and to keep an eye on Young Master Jingfeng as well? By chance, I found out that Gao Yuan has established an entertainment company named ’Lingjing Media’ under her name.
They’ve recently invested two billion to produce a movie called ’Pegasus,’ and its release is scheduled around the same time as our ’Magic City Fortress,’ which is why I paid extra attention."
Two billion... even when her own funds are tight, she’s diverting money to make a film instead of focusing on the main business?
He’s laundering, but what is Gao Yuan up to?
Could it be... she’s also...
"Look into whether there is an issue with that investment!"
The mind of the wicked always suspects the worst of others, bringing them down to their own moral level.
Naturally, he assumed that Gao Yuan’s hefty investment in filmmaking must have some ulterior motives!
"Mr. Xu, I’ve already checked. There are no issues with their funds," Cui Jizhong said, shaking his head.
What Xu Jingsong could think of, he had naturally considered as well, having instructed someone to thoroughly investigate.
Xu Jingsong was startled for a moment, then immediately cursed inwardly.
"Hmph! They really do have more money than places to spend it!"
However... this also provided him with an opportunity. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Is there a way to sabotage their movie?" Xu Jingsong asked.
If those two billion went down the drain, it would surely be painful for them.
"This..." Cui Jizhong pondered.
"Their movie has already wrapped up filming, and the release date has been signed with the theaters. The only thing left is the post-production editing.
If we want to create trouble for them, we can probably only start from there..."
"Post-production editing... Hmm! Find out which company is responsible for that and how to proceed. You should know what to do."
"Yes, Mr. Xu, I’ll take care of it as soon as possible!"
If they could destroy the original footage, even if they had backups and managed to edit it again, they would be hard-pressed for time. The final quality of the movie...
"Right, isn’t our ’Magic City Fortress’ almost done too?
Just to be sure, let’s adjust the release date to the same day as theirs.
I don’t care whether we make money or not, but we must ensure they lose all two billion!" Xu Jingsong said with a cold laugh.
After all, with Gao Sheng’s guarantee, any losses of his could be compensated by them.
Cui Jizhong hesitated for a moment.
"This... While it’s a bit rushed, pushing them shouldn’t be a big problem.
However, Young Master Jingfeng is in charge of the movie’s release schedule, and I’m afraid he won’t listen to me..."
Implicitly, he meant that his own influence wasn’t strong enough, and Xu Jingsong would have to speak with Jingfeng himself first.
"Jingfeng..."
When this name was mentioned, Xu Jingsong’s face flickered with a hint of gloom.
Lately, his falling out with Xu Bolin had put him in a disadvantageous position within the group.
Even the old master had become somewhat distant towards him since the last "fratricidal" incident, and his support within the group had visibly waned.
On the other hand, Xu Jingfeng, who was causing trouble outside, swung by the old master frequently with gifts, gaining his favor.
Even with Xu Bolin’s family, Xu Jingfeng got along much better than he did...
It was unexpected for him that Ou Doudou, whom he considered worthless, had mysteriously become more popular in the family than he was...
From the standpoint of capabilities, Xu Jingsong was naturally the rightful heir to the Xu family.
But Li Shiming was also competent; did Emperor Tang Gaozu choose him in the end?
A shadow crossed Xu Jingsong’s eyes.
It seemed... this brother couldn’t be allowed to stay for long...
