Chapter 671: Chu Min's Suitor
Li Cheng's game studio is located in Caohejing Development Zone, but the location is remote, and the studio's space is also very cramped, less than fifty square meters.
Seeing Chen Yang suddenly visit, Li Cheng felt a bit embarrassed. "Director Chen, following Manager Qian's request, we have already been looking for a larger office space, guaranteeing not to delay work."
As a Reborn Person, Chen Yang could understand Li Cheng's current situation. After all, in Modu every inch of land is precious, and this place is also a business center district. Being able to rent a plot of land here to establish a foothold is already not easy.
But Chen Yang aims to make a big splash in the gaming field; renting land no longer matches his current status. He said to Li Cheng: "Manager Li, when you choose a site, try to pick a location that is better, preferably one where the other party is willing to sell the property rights."
Also, go inquire a bit more to see if there is any vacant land for sale nearby.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng's eyes immediately showed admiration. They had struggled in Modu for eight years before barely renting a fifty-square-meter studio. Meanwhile, Chen Yang, upon arriving, hadn't even checked the market and directly said he wanted to buy land. Indeed, having money makes one more willful!
"Director Chen, I know there is a plot of land nearby that is up for transfer, with a total area of ten thousand square meters. But..." Li Cheng hesitated a moment, then said to Chen Yang: "The other party's asking price is quite high."
Chen Yang now has no concept of money in his eyes, directly asking: "How much?"
Li Cheng extended a finger and carefully said: "One hundred million!"
Upon hearing it was only one hundred million, Chen Yang immediately had Li Cheng contact the seller.
However, upon hearing that it was Tianchen Studio wanting to buy land, the other party directly hung up the phone.
It was obvious that the other party thought Li Cheng's stature was insufficient.
But Chen Yang's visit to Modu this time was merely to understand the true situation of Tianchen Studio; he did not want the matter of investing in the gaming industry to spread throughout the city. Acting in the name of the Commoner Financial Investment Company would also be inappropriate.
Thus, the image of a woman he really did not want to see immediately flashed in his mind.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally dialed the other party's number unwillingly.
"Well, look at that—the sun rising in the west—my dear brother-in-law actually took the initiative to call me?"
"Chu Min, I have taken a liking to a plot of land here in Caohejing Development Zone, but it's not convenient for me to show up in person. Could you go and talk to the other party for me? If successful, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Alright, considering you've given me a lot of money, I'll help you this once."
Seeing Chu Min agree, Chen Yang immediately sent the seller's contact number to her.
About half an hour later, Chu Min's phone call came through.
"Chen Yang, the situation is a bit complicated; you might need to come in person."
"What happened?"
"The seller is my ex-husband's classmate. Hearing that I want to buy land, they insist I accompany them to attend a gathering. That guy has always had ill intentions toward me. If you want to smoothly obtain that plot of land, you probably need to come in person to act as my floral escort."
"You're single now; what's the harm in accompanying him to a gathering? Could it be that he'd dare to drug the Chu Family's eldest miss?"
"That's not something he'd dare do; the problem is I don't like him. If you don't come, I'll wash my hands of this land matter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang could only grit his teeth and agree.
To cope with unexpected events, Chen Yang had Li Cheng call all the male staff of the studio over.
A group of over ten people, because the vehicles weren't enough to seat everyone, also called two taxis.
Upon arriving at the destination, Chu Min, who was waiting by the roadside in full attire, was directly stunned.
"Chen Yang, where did you hire a bunch of extras from? Or are they from the science and engineering department?"
Chen Yang laughed and said to her: "I've just invested in a game studio; they are all the studio's staff." After saying that, he introduced Li Cheng and the others to Chu Min.
Since Chu Min started receiving large amounts of income daily from private server games, she has also developed a strong interest in the gaming industry.
"Chen Yang, this studio should be able to make big money, right? Otherwise I could also invest a little."
Chen Yang did not want Chu Min to affect his investment plans, so he directly told her: "The early investment in the gaming industry is huge, and when there will be returns is unknown. If you want to make steady money, you might as well directly buy ST Tianqi's stock."
Chu Min had been keeping an eye on Chen Yang's company's stock, and she said with some worry: "Your company's stock has already risen several-fold. Is it still possible to buy at this time?"
Chen Yang said confidently to her: "As long as I remain the company's chairman, you can buy with peace of mind!"
Chu Min still felt reassured about Chen Yang's money-making ability, and immediately gave up the idea of investing in Tianchen Studio.
The group mightily arrived at the entrance of a private club.
At the door stood a man in a suit and glasses who had been waiting a long time, about 1.7 meters tall, looking somewhat like a dissolute scholar.
"Chu Min, you've finally come. Who are these people?"
Chu Min pointed at Chen Yang and introduced him to the other party: "Wang Lei, this is my boyfriend Chen Yang, and those are his subordinates."
Upon hearing this, the man named Wang Lei's whole body instantly stiffened. He carefully looked at Chen Yang, who was indeed taller and more handsome than himself.
More importantly, this name and this face together feel very familiar!
"Are you... the chairman of Chen Yang from the Commoner Agricultural Products Trading Company and the Financial Investment Company?"
Seeing that the other party had already recognized his identity, Chen Yang could only nod helplessly.
"Wang Lei, do you intend to let us keep standing at the door?" Chu Min, worried that Chen Yang would expose her lie, immediately interrupted their conversation.
And after Wang Lei confirmed that Chen Yang was truly the richest person himself, his attitude changed immediately. He graciously invited the group inside.
However, with so many people suddenly rushing into the club, it was inevitable to attract attention.
"General Manager Wang, you said there would be important guests coming; could it be them?"
"Well, isn't this Li Cheng from Tianchen Studio? Last month he still borrowed money from our boss to pay employee wages, and unexpectedly he ended up climbing onto General Manager Wang's high branch."
"General Manager Wang, this kid Li Cheng recently helped a Korean game company raise prices, causing our company to spend an extra twenty million per year in agency fees. This kind of person, who for profit would even scheme against his own compatriots, you really need to keep your eyes open! Be careful lest one day he sells you out too."
Faced with the cold stares and accusations of the crowd, Li Cheng and his employees appeared quite embarrassed.
Of course, even more embarrassing was Wang Lei. Before going to greet Chu Min and Chen Yang, he had also thrown harsh words at those people just now, vowing to drive Li Cheng's studio out of Modu. Yet now he has no choice but to stand on the same side as them.
At this point, Chen Yang began to speak. He did not go to refute the person attacking Li Cheng, but instead, in a stern tone, criticized Li Cheng: "Manager Li, when you go out to discuss projects in the future, don't be so petty. Our company is not yet so poor as to need to save twenty million."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly.
