Chapter 537 Bargaining - Jane in the Emperor's Heart

"Tell me, what are your plans for the next step?"

After dinner, Gao Dongxu was called into the study by his uncle. His uncle looked at his nephew, who was drinking tea and smoking, and smiled elegantly.

"Didn't you make it clear during dinner? It's a cause that benefits the nation and even humanity..." Gao Dongxu said, looking at his uncle with a wry smile.

"I'm asking about your specific thoughts. You haven't thought about it, have you? Are you planning to take the money and spend your days indulging in pleasure?" the uncle asked with a smile.

"Actually, that's not so bad. With my current wealth, as long as I don't invest recklessly, I can support three generations even if I spend all my time indulging in pleasure."

On the contrary, those who are overly ambitious and recklessly make things difficult might just squander all the money they've earned. Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow, took a puff of his cigarette, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you're right. But everyone has to have some ambition. If you're content with being moderately wealthy, I have no objection and might even support you. To be honest, I'm already very pleased that you haven't abused your power for personal gain like those evil dragons."

It's truly beyond my expectations and a huge surprise that you've managed to get to where you are today through your own abilities and skills.

"Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the antique industry. You're already well-known and among the wealthiest people in the country. The next step is to increase your influence..." my uncle said meaningfully.

"Hey, to put it bluntly, you're still after my money. You didn't even mention my advertising company, law firm, or film company."

Gao Dongxu realized that his uncle, or rather, his uncles and their relatives, were eyeing his cash, as a clean and honest descendant.

"Hehe, I've been coaxed into doing this by them time and time again. Who told you to hold so much cash? Even if I don't come looking for you, people from other places will. It's better to invest in Hangzhou than to benefit other places." Uncle laughed.

"I'm just trying to avoid suspicion," Gao Dongxu continued, offering a perfunctory reply.

"Hehe, if you want to get into real estate or something like that, of course I won't agree. However, you can definitely get into the high-tech industry, and I will fully support you..."

"No, Uncle, you can't cheat your own nephew. With all the money I have, even if I poured it into the high-tech industry, I might not even make a dent. It's not easy for me to earn money. You and your colleagues, please don't covet my savings for a wife." Gao Dongxu immediately shook his head and refused.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I'll just get straight to the point. The next step for Hangzhou is to become the number one digital economy city in the country. We will increase our support and build a digital economy ecosystem. With the existing major internet technology giants and tens of thousands of startups, we will form a complete industrial chain."

Therefore, I hope you can actively respond to the call and establish a science and technology investment company to invest in emerging science and technology SMEs, setting an example to support technological innovation and industrial development in Hangzhou.” The uncle stopped beating around the bush and said it directly.

"I'll still have to throw money at it..." Gao Dongxu chuckled.

“It’s an investment. If the startup you invest in succeeds, the profits you earn will be several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times your investment,” the uncle said with a smile.

"How much?" Gao Dongxu knew that bleeding was the only option.

"How about two billion?"

"That's too much, at most a billion. I have other uses for the rest of the money." Gao Dongxu shook his head and cut it in half.

"What other uses?" the uncle asked curiously.

“Do you remember what I told you about Orange State? I plan to take over Huang Yuhong’s Wave Network after he goes to jail,” Gao Dongxu said, his eyes bright.

"That video website where you can upload videos and earn money based on the number of views?" The uncle's eyes lit up.

“Yes, you’re right. Now that I’m already famous, it’s essential to increase my influence. So, I’m planning to fully enter the entertainment and media industry,” Gao Dongxu said, outlining his plans.

"Hmm, not a bad choice. Tell me more..." The uncle became interested. Compared to high-tech industries, the power and influence of the media are greater, and more importantly, the media's ability to guide and damage public opinion.

"Currently, my advertising company is building an urban lifestyle media network... With the Bobo.com video website, I can enable film and television companies to produce their own programs and web dramas, achieving self-production and self-distribution. At the same time, they can also connect to the urban lifestyle media network, thus linking the businesses of the three companies together..."

After listening to Gao Dongxu's idea, his uncle nodded and looked at him with a satisfied and gratified smile, saying, "If you successfully acquire Bodong.com, could you move the headquarters to Hangzhou? Don't worry, we will definitely give you the greatest support. Moreover, we can also strongly support your city's social media network and promote it throughout the province."

"This..." Gao Dongxu said with a helpless smile. Looking at his cunning uncle, he saw that after making a difficult request, he threw out an irresistible bait. He really had his finger on him.

“I’m worried that Orange State won’t agree.”

"People strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. We can provide the best conditions for BoWang to land and the strongest support. It's normal for companies to vote with their feet. If they have any objections, they can show their sincerity. Let's compete fairly." The uncle said with a faint smile, his glasses gleaming.

"Hehe, okay. If I successfully acquire Bodong.com, as long as Hangzhou is sincere enough, I will move the headquarters to Hangzhou." Gao Dongxu really couldn't resist the pie in the sky that his uncle was painting for him: the whole province supporting and promoting the construction of urban life circle media networks.

This is the elevator advertising market of an entire province; young people can easily earn one or two small fortunes each year.

"Then it's settled. When will you start acquiring WaveNet?" Uncle asked with a smile. "That depends on the progress of the investigation in Orange State. After I return from Paris, I will go to Orange State to meet with Huang Yuhong," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"By the way, what are you going to Paris for?" The uncle knew his nephew quite well; he was definitely not one to do anything without a reason.

Gao Dongxu didn't hide anything and told him about the two zodiac animal heads.

"...I'm planning to take some men to see if there's a chance to intercept the two animal heads, since we're going to snatch them from international thieves anyway."

"You really have audacity." The uncle looked at Gao Dongxu with sharp eyes and a furrowed brow, and said coldly.

"Uncle, don't worry, I definitely won't personally get involved. The people I'm bringing are all experts. Given the chance, we'll definitely be able to snatch the two beast heads back," Gao Dongxu said confidently with a smile.

Since surviving the car accident, his uncle has become increasingly enigmatic, though not drastically different in personality. He has not only become a billionaire by appraising and selling antiques, but also a martial arts master, and possesses profound knowledge of the secrets and mysteries of the world.

"If you successfully retrieve the beast head, what are you going to do with it?" The uncle asked Gao Dongxu sharply.

"You handle it, and I'll donate it to the country free of charge," Gao Dongxu said with a gleam in his eyes and a smirk.

The uncle's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his serious face. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "A wise choice. With these two beast heads, you can be registered. It can be considered as winning the emperor's favor."

"Hehe, what if I bring back four beast heads? Can I add a layer of golden body?" Gao Dongxu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The uncle's expression changed, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He stared sharply at Gao Dongxu and said, "Don't you already have two beast heads?!"

"Ahem, Uncle, please don't get agitated. I only know the whereabouts of two of the beast heads, but we need to go find them. The chances of finding them are high. You still haven't told me if you can give me a golden body for the four beast heads," Gao Dongxu hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, if you don't do anything wrong, why would you need a golden body? If you really commit a crime, even a golden body won't help. We... people have never had the idea of ​​offsetting merits and demerits. Merit is merit, and demerit is demerit." The uncle snorted coldly and said in a calm tone.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then forget it. I won't take the risk of doing something that loses money," Gao Dongxu said with a smirk.

"Nonsense! How can you calculate gains and losses in the context of a losing deal? Try your best to bring back the four beast heads. Some rewards for merit are intangible... Of course, if it's dangerous, then forget it. Your safety comes first."

"Hehe, I know. Don't worry, Uncle, I would never joke with my own life. I have billions in assets and many close female friends. I can't bear to give them up," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"Alright, kid, you understand. Safety first. Everything else is secondary. Do what you can, but don't push yourself," the uncle admonished again.

"Yes." Gao Dongxu nodded solemnly.

. . . . . .

"Waaaah... Ugh, stop it... Can't you just be a little more patient?"

As soon as they left his uncle's house and the A8 started moving, Gao Dongxu forcibly pulled the beautiful and mature Fu Da into his arms and began kissing her alluring red lips in a domineering manner.

Almost suffocating from the kiss, Fu Xiaofen, her conscience severely condemned, struggled to break free of his control, her pretty face flushed, her alluring eyes glaring angrily at the still unsatisfied Gao Dongxu.

Looking at Fu Xiaofen, who was as beautiful and alluring as a spring flower, Gao Dongxu's eyes burned with desire, and he said with a murderous look, "I can't stand it anymore, you're just too tempting. If I hold back any longer, I'm really going to explode—"

At this moment, the beautiful and radiant Fu Da Yu Jie exuded charm and allure to the fullest. Every casual movement and glance could bewitch people's souls.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's burning gaze, which seemed to be about to explode, Fu Xiaofen playfully bit her red lips, gave Gao Dongxu, who was clutching her conscience again, a seductive glare, and said to her female driver in a trembling voice, "Xiao Zhao, put on some music—"

"Okay, Mr. Fu—"

Soon, symphonic music filled the car, and Fu Xiaofen playfully swatted Gao Dongxu's hand away, scolding, "Behave yourself, sit still, don't move around—"

Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow at the alluring Fu Da Yu Jie, who was raising her hands and tying up her loose hair. His eyes lit up immediately, and he sat down happily, waiting for her to persuade him.

With my hair tied up, it's either her or me!

The night flowed like a long black river outside the windshield. The moment the headlights cut through the darkness, the scattered gold light from the streetlights splashed in, only to be immediately flung away by the speed.

The low strings vibrated in the carriage, and every strike of the timpani felt like a blow to the heart.

The sweet scent of perfume mingled with the aroma of leather seats in the warm breeze. In the flickering light, her leaping ponytail seemed like a dancing sprite.
