Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 610 So what if he's the richest man? Ma Xun will still stand his ground!

“Mr. Jia, I’ve heard of you before, and we’ve had some contact. But this so-called ecosystem you’re talking about, I always feel… to use a Beijing slang term, it’s not very reliable.”

Huang Guangtou's aura as the richest man was undeniable; the moment he put on that show, even Accountant Jia and the others felt somewhat inferior.

It has to be said that Huang Guangtou's title as the richest man is well-deserved; just listen to what he has to say.

When someone tells Accountant Jia that they've heard of him, the subtext is clear: they've heard that 'you have a powerful background.'

The following is a simple matter, since everyone has been in business together before, and Guomei and Leshi have had some small collaborations.

But those are just small events and small businesses. Accountant Jia currently controls Leshi and Huayi, both of which have some celebrity actors under their umbrella.

Even if they don't directly cooperate with Guomei, their endorsements and other promotions will indirectly involve cooperation with Guomei.

However, Huang Guangtou then changed the subject and directly expressed his disagreement with Jia's core concept, the ecosystem.

This is quite something; it's like giving Accountant Jia a real challenge.

Qin Hong and the others couldn't help but look at Accountant Jia. Now that things are like this, what are you going to do?

Accountant Jia was no ordinary person after all. He immediately realized that Huang Guangtou was testing him. No problem, this was simple. He had fooled many business tycoons before.

With a slight smile, he confidently stated, "Mr. Huang, it's like this: our Leshi ecosystem, simply put, is based on the internet and will provide comprehensive lifestyle services to everyone in the future..."

Accountant Jia launched into a long, rambling monologue, his words flowing like a torrent... Huang Guangtou's composure was truly remarkable; even as Qin Hong and the others noticed the extra sheen on his bald head, he remained completely focused on listening.

This...this is really awesome.

Great people are like this: they can not only be those who give orders, but also be excellent listeners.

But whether or not they understood it, nobody knows.

Fortunately, as soon as Accountant Jia finished speaking, Huang Guangtou immediately raised a very pointed question.

“Mr. Jia, what you said is indeed very good. It’s clear that you are an outstanding leader in the internet age.”

At this point, Accountant Jia couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

Everyone is happy to be praised, especially by the richest person in the world.

This is actually normal. After all, from the perspective of strength, Huang Guangyu has several listed companies under his name, while Jia, although he has two powerful companies, are not listed yet. Although he had a company listed in Singapore before, that one was delisted, and Singapore is investigating him.

Moreover, Huang Guangyu's assets on that rich list are as high as 430 billion.

Let alone Accountant Jia, do you even know how much the second place earned?

110 million.

Indeed, the gap in everyone's abilities was too great, so Qin Hong and the others could only feel envious of the praise Jia received.

But then, Huang Guangtou changed the subject again!
“But Mr. Jia, Guomei has always done offline business. I have never done business online before.”

Was my introduction just for nothing?
of course not!

Accountant Jia understood immediately, because this was still a test.

"Mr. Huang, I have to say something that you might not like to hear."

This... Qin Hong and the others were all on tenterhooks.

Huang Guangtou smiled and said, "Please speak."

The richest man is acting so approachable right now.

Encouraged, Accountant Jia immediately said, "Boss Huang, the current global development trend is very clear: the Internet will be the absolute protagonist in the future. Right now, the Internet in our country is still in its infancy, which is the best time to enter this field."

To put it bluntly, Mr. Huang's Guomei is already late to the game in the internet field. If it doesn't take immediate action now, it may be overtaken by emerging internet companies in the future.

"And our company, Leshi, can perfectly complement Guomei's offerings. Mr. Huang, the prospects for our cooperation are undoubtedly enormous!"

Okay! That makes a lot of sense.

Qin Hong and the others couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in their hearts. They had heard before that Accountant Jia was particularly good at talking and speaking. Whenever Le Shi held a press conference, he would be the one to speak. Yes, he was indeed learning from Steve Jobs.

But there's no denying that this accountant Jia is a very good imitator.

So, can it win over Huang Guangyu?

The richest man pondered for a long time, and then his eyes finally lit up.

"Great! We'll cooperate with Leshi!"

Oh my! So the deal is done?

Accountant Jia and Qin Hong felt a surge of joy, but they didn't let it show, because they knew very well that it wouldn't be that simple.

really.

"So, Mr. Jia, what are your terms?"

Huang Guangyu is indeed not so easy to deal with.

Accountant Jia knew this was the final crucial moment in the whole affair, and immediately said, "Soon, Leshi will be joining forces with companies like Xingmei to launch our televisions and mobile phones, and in the future, we might even have cars..."

Wow! That's quite an ambition!

Qin Hong had never heard of this car before, but he couldn't say anything about it for the time being.

Huang Guangyu didn't think for long this time, and simply said, "You hope to use the power of our Guomei? Hmm, you probably also want us to promote your mobile TV?"

"exactly!"

Accountant Jia and Huang Guangyu stared at each other, seemingly locked in a battle, neither wanting to lose.

Fortunately, the two of them burst into laughter not long afterward.

"Great! We, Guomei, will cooperate with your Leshi!"

"That's great! Haha..."

Not bad, very good. Huang Guangyu shook hands with Accountant Jia.

Qin Hong and the others were delighted and clapped.

The deal is done.

But... what about the money?
"One billion."

"what?"

"This is just the basics."

Huang Guangyu is asking for an exorbitant amount!
What should Accountant Jia do?
Huang Guangyu continued, "I think this business will have a potential scale of at least several billion to tens of billions in the future..."

What is this? Fish bait?

But at this point, Accountant Jia had no way out.

He immediately agreed, "Okay!"

And just like that, the business deal between Leshi and Guomei was finalized.

……

"Congratulations, Mr. Jia."

"Haha...this is fantastic!"

"What about the OEM manufacturing of those mobile phones and televisions?"

"Chuangwei, huh?"

The deal with Huang Guangyu was done, and not only was Accountant Jia happy, but Qin Hong and General Manager Li were also delighted.

This is tantamount to forming a strategic partnership with the current richest man.

The future looks very promising.

However, some details need to be noted.

"That Ma Xun guy doesn't know what's good for him!"

As soon as Accountant Jia said that, everyone knew what to do.

"Don't worry, the news of his discord with Boss Huang is definitely flying around right now."

"No, we have to do something."

"Of course, it can't just be a simple disagreement."

"understand!"

This sentence is clear, absolutely correct. We must embellish it, and we must make Ma Xun and Huang Guangyu irreconcilable enemies!

……

Enlight Media.

Ma Xun is truly someone who wakes up from a great dream first.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up I saw some bags of Chinese medicine.

Ma Xun only felt a constant sense of exhilaration, constantly transforming...

Suddenly, someone came in.

"Hey, you guys are really having a blast." "Hehe..."

"My dear boss, do you know how long it's been? It's been almost two days!"

"Huh? Has it been that long?"

We worked until we were completely exhausted.

Ma Xun didn't care about the time issue at all.

But now... since the truth has been revealed, this guy isn't embarrassed at all; instead, he pulls the female secretary into his arms.

"What? You want a share of the pie too?"

Getting a share of the pie, that's a good image.

He Qing blushed and lightly slapped him. "I'm not like you guys who do such things. Besides, you should look in the mirror. You should probably tone it down a bit for now."

Looking in the mirror?
Sure enough, He Qing took out a dressing mirror, and Ma Xun saw that he had very obvious dark circles under his eyes.

It seems that even drinking traditional Chinese medicine won't be enough to make up for it.

Take a break for now.

He then let He Qing go.

However, He Qing, the female secretary, had important business to attend to.

"Boss, I have some bad news."

"what news?"

"Go online and see for yourself."

"No way, is this how you act as a secretary?"

Ma Xun's question would be perfectly reasonable in any other company, but here...

He Qing, however, wasn't buying it. "That's just how I act as a secretary. What? Is that not allowed?"

You know what, her little face, with its annoying yet slightly arrogant charm, is really quite lovable.

Ma Xun just likes tight things, so he couldn't resist pinching her pretty face, and then the computer was turned on.

Of course, He Qing was also doing his job.

But upon closer inspection...

"It is rumored that Ma Xun and Huang Guang are about to have a verbal argument!"

"How dare Ma Xun! He disrespects Huang Guangyu!"

"Arrogant! Ma Xun clashes with the richest man!"

These headlines are amazing enough, but what's even more surprising are the numerous comments from netizens.

"Holy crap! Ma Xun is really something else, daring to argue with the richest man in China?"

“I heard that it wasn’t just an argument, they even fought.”

"Why? It's not because of a woman, is it?"

"possible."

"Bullshit! That's definitely not true. Putting aside everything else, Huang Guangyu is really good to his wife. It's impossible that he's doing this for a woman."

"That must be because of money."

"The version I heard that's more reliable is that Ma Xun supposedly made a lot of money during this financial crisis, and he thinks he's awesome. Huang Guangyu, on the other hand, probably lost some money. With one making more and the other less, Ma Xun is starting to disrespect the richest man."

"Holy crap! Even if Ma Xun made a profit, so what? Huang Guangyu has over 430 billion! No matter how much Ma Xun makes, can he make that much? And that doesn't even include the fact that Guomei is a large-scale entity, while Ma Xun isn't in the business of manufacturing."

"Yes! Ma Xun was way too arrogant this time!"

The online community overwhelmingly supports Huang Guangyu.

This is actually normal; whoever has money will have more supporters.

However, after seeing these, Ma Xun burst into laughter.

He Qing asked, "What's wrong with you? Is this something fun?"

Ma Xun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Fun? That's not necessarily true, but just these things are fantastic!"

Huh? He Qing was even more confused.

Ma Xun didn't explain much. In fact, the reason he treated Huang Guangyu this way was quite impolite and it was intentional. He planned to make a fuss about it.

These are exactly what I want!
He then ordered He Qing, "Relay my order: we will issue a public announcement, the content of which is:"
The content on the internet is untrue and is all rumors. I have no grudge against Huang Guangyu, but our philosophies are completely different, so we will not cooperate.

"Just do it this way, and you can even be more forceful with your words."

"What?" He Qing was extremely surprised, because this was a very serious statement.

In China's business community, even if there are big conflicts, it's not necessary to say it out loud. Although Ma Xun's statement wasn't exactly a verbal battle, it certainly didn't give Guo Mei and Huang Guangyu any face.

He's the richest man in the world, for you to say something like that is just... too audacious!
But it also felt really good.

So what if he's the richest man?
I don't give a damn about you!
He Qing really liked Ma Xun's reckless and unruly spirit.

But then, Ma Xun slapped her on the shoulder and said, "Go do your work."

"You!" Although He Qing appeared unhappy, she was secretly delighted.

Since that's the case, let's do it.

Not long after, the 'statement' from Light was released.

Needless to say, public opinion was instantly in an uproar!
"Holy crap! Has Ma Xun gone mad? Is he going to go head-to-head with the richest man?"

"Ma Xun is just too handsome!"

"No, what's going on with you? Don't you know? Ma Xun is also someone important."

“That’s right, how could you forget? Ma Xun is a young master in the capital. Even the so-called Four Young Masters of the Capital are a level below him.”

"Huang Guangyu is indeed the richest man and the leading figure of the Chaoshan business community, but Ma Xun's background and strength are not so easy to deal with!"

"This is going to be interesting! Both sides are about to have a major battle!"

Who will win between Ma Xun and Huang Guangyu?

"Wow! This is interesting! This is really interesting! Is anyone going to open a betting pool?"

This is interesting, this is really interesting.

Although the public was in uproar, the direction of public opinion has shifted.

At first, everyone on the internet was saying that Ma Xun was wrong. At the very least, Ma Xun was impolite, and he was also much weaker than Huang Guangyu in terms of strength.

Now, many supporters have emerged.

It seems everyone just remembered that Ma Xun is also someone of great importance and has a powerful background. If he were to really fight Huang Guangyu, it's hard to say who would win or lose.

Even with public opinion at this point, many people didn't notice Ma Xun's statement that he wouldn't do business with Guomei.

But Jia and his colleagues were overjoyed by this development.

"Great! Ma Xun is getting too cocky!"

"Has this bastard forgotten his own name?"

"So, this situation..."

"Need I say more? We absolutely have to help him scale it up!"

"Yes! Let's do it!"

Without Jia, the accountant, needing to explain anything, all the bosses understood what to do.

They're just making a big fuss about this.

Although there was nothing really going on between Ma Xun and Huang Guangyu, they just didn't see eye to eye.

But then, the rumors started to get weirder and weirder.

Moreover, Accountant Jia was even more decisive.
