My capital is quite large.

Upon hearing the boss's greeting, the translator quickly relayed it in Korean.

After this period of intensive Chinese training, and given the girl's natural intelligence, Liu Zhimin is now able to understand and speak some simple Chinese words.

Before the translator could even finish relaying the message, she obediently walked over quickly and bowed slightly to Yang Mi.

Looking at her still-youthful yet already exquisitely beautiful face, Yang Mi pointed to the list of Korean entertainment companies on the table and asked kindly in Chinese:

"Jimin, when you were a trainee in Seoul, you should know the industry dynamics there best. Which of those small companies do you think has the most potential for growth and explosive development?"

Upon hearing Yang Mi's question, Liu Zhimin's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a glint of intelligence flashed in her bright eyes.

She didn't even turn to look at the translator. Instead, she took a deep breath and blurted out in somewhat broken but extremely clear Chinese:

Big Hit Entertainment. BTS, the boy band.

......

Jinling, top floor of Haofeng Group headquarters.

In front of the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, a closed-door meeting concerning the media landscape of Xiao Ri Zi was quietly taking place.

Zhao Zhe respectfully presented a stack of corporate research reports and financial forms, totaling over a hundred pages, to Li Feng's desk.

"Mr. Li, this is a complete set of business reports and asset valuations for TBS Television over the past five years, compiled by our team overnight."

"In addition, there is an analysis of our current shareholding in TV Tokyo."

"The report shows that TV Tokyo's core business data has indeed been declining in recent years."

"However, thanks to the 20% stake we hold through a shell company, we have a significant voice within TV Tokyo."

"In comparison, TBS Television is on a completely different level," Zhao Zhe reported solemnly.

"TBS's current shareholding structure is quite complex, and it is extremely wary of foreign investment."

"If we forcibly acquire their shares, not only will the cost-effectiveness be extremely low, but considering the subsequent return on investment, it will also be difficult for TBS to bring us additional profits in the short term."

"Therefore, from a purely investment perspective, our team does not recommend investing in or acquiring TBS."

"If... Mr. Li, you are only trying to satisfy Ms. Maeda Atsuko's personal request and insist on getting the lead role in the drama 'Unnatural Death,' we actually have a more economical alternative."

Zhao Zhe turned to a page in the report, pointed to the proposed solution, and said:

"We can have TV Tokyo and TBS jointly produce this drama."

"Although there is no precedent for these two major commercial television stations to co-produce a film, given the influence and weight of our shell company, Central Investment Co., Ltd., within TV Tokyo, it is entirely possible to force a collaboration between the two companies."

"Even if we need to invest more in the production and revenue sharing of the film and television series, it will only be around tens of millions of RMB at most, which will be enough to secure the lead role in that production."

After Zhao Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Li Feng with some anticipation.

In his view, this plan, which allows one to achieve great things with minimal investment, is undoubtedly the most commercially sound approach.

However, after quickly skimming through his economical and practical hedging plan, Li Feng showed no emotion whatsoever.

"Is it possible to acquire a 20% stake in TBS?"

One sentence made the temperature in the office drop several degrees.

Upon hearing Li Feng's question, Zhao Zhe, who had been preoccupied with cost-effectiveness, was startled and realized his boss's attitude.

In Boss Li's dictionary, there is no such thing as compromise.

What he wants is control, not charity.

"Three months!"

Without any hesitation, Zhao Zhe immediately signed a military pledge:

"Mr. Li, I will definitely acquire a 20% stake in TBS within three months!"

......

Hearing Zhao Zhe's assurance, Li Feng looked at Zhang Yuxi, who was standing quietly to the side, and asked:

"Yu Xi, what is TBS's stock price today?"

Zhang Yuxi, who was named, had obviously done her homework long ago.

She didn't even open the tablet before smoothly reporting to the supervisor:

"Mr. Li, TBS closed at 2579 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange today."

Before Li Feng could even begin to calculate in his mind, Zhang Yuxi very considerately recited the number the boss wanted most:

"Based on the current exchange rate, the market value of 20% of TBS's shares is approximately 805 billion yen, or about 7.3 million US dollars."

Seeing how cooperative Zhang Yuxi was, even Li Feng couldn't help but show a hint of approval in his eyes.

But then he instructed Zhao Zhe:

"Go find Gao Huai to approve a special M&A fund of 60 billion yuan."

"I want to see the share certificate on my desk three months from now."

When Zhao Zhe heard the number 60 billion, his mind quickly went through the calculations.

US$7.3 million, which is approximately RMB 48 billion.

Mr. Li's generous offer of 60 billion yuan clearly indicates that he has taken into account the premium costs of a strong offensive.

With this massive sum of money, nearly 30% overpriced, as his backing, Zhao Zhe was fully confident that he could break through TBS's equity stake.

"Understood! Thank you for your trust, Mr. Li. I guarantee I will complete the task!" Zhao Zhe bowed to Li Feng, then picked up the documents and hurriedly left.

......

With Zhao Zhe gone, the office returned to peace.

Li Feng closed his eyes wearily and leaned back in his chair, pretending to doze off.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuxi naturally moved behind Li Feng, stretched out a pair of soft, boneless white hands, and gently massaged Li Feng's shoulders.

At the same time, she leaned close to his ear and, in a very soft voice, began to report some private matters concerning her private life:

"Boss, Ms. Liu Yifei transferred 2000 million RMB from her personal account yesterday. The recipient was actress Liu Tao, who is currently embroiled in the LeEco crisis."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng merely let out a soft "hmm" through his nose.

Seeing that Li Feng didn't react much to this, Zhang Yuxi pursed her lips.

Pressing down his shoulder, I reported a second, more sensitive piece of news:

"In addition... three days ago, Ms. Yang Mi, in her capacity as a trust fund manager, planned to withdraw a total of 45 million US dollars from the trust fund accounts under the names of Li Yuxin and Li Maoqing."

"And it was invested in Jaywalk Studio, a subsidiary of her group, through capital injection."
