After school, Jiang Xu arrived alone at the restaurant where he had arranged to

meet Wang Xiaoyuan.

In the private room, he saw a somewhat haggard Wang Xiaoyuan.

“Oh my, Brother Jiang Xu, you’re getting more and more handsome, this height, this temperament, Wu Yanzu would call you brother if he saw you.” The moment Wang Xiaoyuan saw Jiang Xu, she continuously showered him with praise, like a never-ending river.

Jiang Xu sat down with a straight face.

Wang Xiaoyuan paused, “What’s wrong with you?

Jiang Xu: “Don’t stop, continue praising.”

Wang Xiaoyuan:

She poured tea for Jiang Xu, then sat down opposite him.

“Something’s not right, you’re acting strange,” Jiang Xu observed Wang

Xiaoyuan. “You started showering me with compliments as soon as you walked

in, like you’re buttering me up.

Although, what you said is indeed true, come on, what do you need from me?’

“Ah, was I that obvious?” Wang Xiaoyuan’s face fell slightly, “One good news, one bad news.

The good news is that the TV show “Overbearing CEO, Gentle Love” is about to air.

The bad news is, we’re running out of funds, I can’t afford to finish the shoot”

Jiang Xu took a sip of tea: “What happened?

Wang Xiaoyuan explained everything.

As it turned out, her parents’ company had encountered a significant investment problem.

If there wasn’t a large influx of capital, there was a high chance the entire company would go bankrupt.

Wang Xiaoyuan had no choice but to give all the cash in her own company and the money for filming this drama to her parent company.

If her parent company went bankrupt, she would also be majorly impacted. She came to Jiang Xu because she knew he was wealthy and wanted him to invest.

This sudden twist was something Jiang Xu hadn’t anticipated.

He had already used the money he earned from the stock market to repay his loans a few days ago.

The cash in his company’s account was just over fifteen million.

This money, he couldn’t touch.

The money in his own bank cards totaled over three million.

This money was mainly from Jiang Xiaoyan, who had already transferred over five hundred thousand twice.

In addition to the rents of the two buildings, as well as Liu Yue and Chen Xueyi’s autobiographies, among other miscellaneous expenses.

Jiang Xu looked at the haggard Wang Xiaoyuan.

She probably also intended to earn extra money from this drama to support her family.

After all, the initial investment was already spent. If she didn’t film anymore, the losses would be much greater.

Jiang Xu asked, “So, Sister Xiaoyuan, how much do you need now?” “At least ten million. I’ve gathered seven million; now I’m short of three million.”

Jiang Xu internally remarked, You’ve been snooping on my bank balance, right?

If he gives her three million, he’ll only have a little over two hundred thousand left, leaving him feeling insecure.

What, don’t I have rents from two buildings?

Oh, then it’s not a problem.

After some thought, Jiang Xu said, “I can give you the three million, but I have

two conditions.”

Wang Xiaoyuan sat up straight, “Say it. I’ll try to accept it if I can.

But let me say in advance, you can’t use this as a way to blackmail me into doing something shameful.”

“???’ Jiang Xu was full of question marks, “What do you think I am, a sugar daddy?”

Wang Xiaoyuan clenched her fists, wanting to punch this scoundrel.

He was really too much.

Jiang Xu continued, “First, I want 20% of the TV drama’s profits in the future. Second, I want the online broadcasting rights to this drama.

When they had previously signed the contract, their agreed collaboration plan was to give Jiang Xu a copyright fee of 450,000, plus 8% of the TV drama’s profits.

Wang Xiaoyuan’s eyelids twitched a little, she was quite angry. “You’re taking advantage of the situation, where’s your morals?”

Jiang Xu spread out his hands. “None.”

Wang Xiaoyuan:

As long as I have no morals, nobody can kidnap me.

Wang Xiaoyuan’s teeth were grinding, “I can agree to the second condition, but 20% is too much, a little lower…”

Jiang Xu didn’t really think Wang Xiaoyuan would agree to such a large share.

Both parties kept haggling.

Eventually, they agreed on the conditions of three million in exchange for 15% of the TV drama’s future profits.

Added to the original 8%, that would amount to 23°/o.

As long as the net profit of this TV drama surpassed twenty million, Jiang Xu could earn from it.

Jiang Xu was pretty confident in Wang Xiaoyuan on this front. Firstly, the subject matter had a vast potential audience. Another thing was the predicament Wang Xiaoyuan currently faced. She would inevitably make every effort to make this drama a success. After the contract was signed, Wang Xiaoyuan didn’t stay for the meal and left immediately.

“Wait.” Jiang Xu stopped her.

Under her puzzled gaze, he gave her two thousand yuan in cash.

Jiang Xu only carried two thousand yuan in cash for emergencies. “What are you giving me money for?” asked a puzzled Wang Xiaoyuan. Jiang Xu: “I noticed your clothes, shoes, and bag have all changed from designer brands to ordinary ones.

You must have sold them, right? As your friend, this two thousand is for you to use in an emergency.”

Wang Xiaoyuan was somewhat touched.

She immediately punched Jiang Xu, “If you really had a conscience, you would have asked for less of the profits.

Hmph, you scoundrel, you have a bit of a conscience, but not much.”

Jiang Xu shrugged his shoulders.

Wang Xiaoyuan waved her hand, “But still, thank you. I have to go now, remember to wire the money to me tomorrow.”

Once she finished speaking, she hurriedly flagged down a taxi and left.

-She came by taxi.” Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered, “She probably sold her car, too.”

But this didn’t concern him too much.

This entertainment company of Wang Xiaoyuan’s wasn’t associated with her parent’s parent company.

Even if the parent company went bankrupt, it wouldn’t involve her. On the way home, Jiang Xu even enrolled in a driving school. He had already finished studying for Subject One and had it memorized. He directly told the driving school instructor to arrange for him to take the Subject One exam first, then take Subjects Two and Three together. Then he slipped the instructor some extra money to get him to the front of the line.

With his driving skills, he’d be able to get his license in just a few days.

After leaving the driving school, Jiang Xu leisurely walked home. He took out his phone and checked the current stock price of Moutai.

The current stock price was 115 yuan per share.

Jiang Xu clearly remembered that this stock had reached a historical high in 2011.

The closing price was 334.98 yuan per share, and the market value reached 1.6 trillion yuan.

This was indeed legendary.

Initially, on 27th August 2001, the opening price when it was listed was 34-51 yuan per share.

The highest peak was in February 2021.

It soared to an astonishing 2627.88 yuan per share.

Over 20 years, it had risen by a staggering 7515%-

If he buys in now and sells at the highest peak, that would be a twenty-sixfold increase.

If he invests ten million, it would become 2.6 billion.

The money he currently has is still not enough.

There are some very high-quality stocks that he wants to buy but can’t afford. It seems that he needs to speed up his money-making efforts.

When he got home, An Nuonuo wasn’t on the first floor, so Jiang Xu went to the second floor.

He pushed open her bedroom door and called out, “Nuonuo?”

“Ah?!”

From the bathroom came An Nuonuo’s exclamation, followed by a sentence that set Jiang Xu’s blood boiling….
