Chapter 104 - 104: Game Development Team
She had only made a fleeting jest, never expecting Yi Hong to agree so readily.
A typical response would have involved caution, vigilance, and perhaps even blame, just like the other person’s reaction, wouldn’t it? After all, Shen Wan was making a greedy request, and it was quite unreasonable.
“President Yi!” Zhang Cheng exclaimed softly, “You can’t agree… This is too hasty!”
But Yi Hong simply waved his hand at him, indicating there was no need to say more. “Call the company’s legal department and explain the situation. Prepare the agreement as soon as possible. Also…” He turned to Shen Wan. “Because this involves a change in ownership, the process will be somewhat complicated. If Miss Shen is not too busy, could you stay in Beihai for a while? According to the established process, both the shareholders’ meeting and the board of directors need to be present, and you…”
“Sorry, I was joking a bit too much,” Shen Wan interrupted with a smile.
Yi Hong paused, joking?
He hadn’t been joking at all!
“While this may sound somewhat complex, most of it will be handled by lawyers, and it won’t take too long,” he explained, fearing that Shen Wan might find it troublesome.
Zhang Cheng was on the verge of tears. Was there anyone in the world who rushed into a losing deal like this? He wasn’t afraid of suffering a loss himself but feared that others wouldn’t take advantage of him!
Zhou Chi was stunned. Although he didn’t understand much about the business world, he had some basic common sense. What did owning half of the shares mean? Even a layman like him understood, let alone Yi Hong?
Did he just agree like that?
This guy couldn’t be a fool…
“Mr. Yi, can you please let me finish?” Shen Wan spoke calmly and composedly, even in this situation, which had been created by her own words. She maintained the necessary calm and composure, but at the same time, she conveyed her apology subtly.
Zhang Cheng frowned. What a formidable young lady!
Yi Hong sat upright. “Please go on.”
“The previous matter, helping you, was also helping myself. My surname is Shen, and I believe Mr. Yi has already guessed the underlying conflicts. I appreciate your offer, but 1’11 pass on the shares. 1 shouldn’t take them, and I wouldn’t be able to hold onto them.”
Yi Hong had intended to say something, but Shen Wan’s last cryptic words ultimately stopped him from speaking.
Hengyi Group was his brainchild, and even if Shen Wan managed to secure half of the shares, convincing the majority would be a tough task. Ultimately, it had turned into a tricky situation that he’d rather avoid.
“What can I do for you then?” Yi Hong suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with unquestionable seriousness, showing his sincerity.
Talking to smart people was indeed effortless. While Yi Hong had some sense of chivalry, he possessed the keenness that a businessman should have.
If Shen Wan truly had no other requests, then this meeting wouldn’t have taken place today. Since it had, it indicated that she had already figured out what she wanted. If it wasn’t shares, then it must be something else.
“I heard that Mr. Yi invested in a college student game development team?”
“That’s correct,” Yi Hong replied. Besides managing the real estate company and wholeheartedly developing a vacation hotel brand, his favorite pastime was investing!
In the world of business, money tends to flow where opportunities for profit exist. Over time, he had gathered experience in diverse sectors, including Al, the internet, education, and more. Then, just six months ago, he took a keen interest in game development and decided to invest in a team of college students when the opportunity arose.
Initially, he was quite involved, checking in occasionally. However, developing a game wasn’t something that could be completed in the short term, and now, after almost half a year, there was still no progress. Yi Hong had gradually put it on the back burner. However, he continued to allocate the necessary funds generously, after all, it was just a matter of supporting a few college students. “Is Miss Shen interested in game development?”
