Chapter 1110

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian rode in the car and deliberately wandered around outside for a while longer. In the end, the two of them arrived at the hotel at 11:30 AM sharp.

The meeting today was scheduled to be held over a meal from the beginning. So arriving at this time was just perfect.

Led by the hotel lobby manager, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were led straight into the VIP elevator, going directly to the 23rd floor.

And in this small banquet hall on the 23rd floor, which also functioned as a conference room, Wang Wei had also arrived early.

Of course, the first to arrive were definitely Liu Xiaobin and that vice president of Wanda, because today's meal was organized by them; they were the hosts.

"Liu Zong, has it really come to this step?" Wang Wei, sitting on a single sofa, was in a suit, sitting upright. He looked at Liu Xiaobin and sighed with a complex expression.

Hearing this, the latter also showed a helpless smile on his face, "Chairman Wang, you must have heard about our current situation.

The fastest and most direct way for us to raise money is to divest non-core peripheral businesses, and Tudou. com is the highest-quality asset among the peripheral businesses in the country!"

"In order to respect Tudou. com, respect Chairman Wang, Lin Dao, and Chairman Wang Changtian of Light Chaser, and even more to respect our own hard work for Tudou. com over the past 9 years……

That is why our transfer plan this time is so formal and solemn; we thought we would notify everyone about this matter in advance and then arrange to meet and communicate about this situation in person." The vice president of the group sitting next to Liu Xiaobin spoke up.

In Wang Wei's eyes, the former's rhetoric could simply be described as high-sounding, convincing, and impossible to refute.

Just at this moment, the heavy doors were slowly pushed open, and Lin Nan and Wang Changtian walked in, stepping on the thick carpet.

"Lin Dao, Chairman Wang, we've been waiting for you two."

Liu Xiaobin stood up first and greeted them with a smile. At the same time, he nodded to the hotel head waiter at the door, signaling that the food could be served.

"Chairman Wang and I shouldn't be late, right?" Lin Nan smiled.

"How could you be late? You two even arrived half an hour early.

Of course, Liu Zong and I were impatient, so we came early in the morning to wait; we all arrived early, haha……" The vice president of Wanda joked for once; he hadn't been this enthusiastic toward Wang Wei just now.

"Let's take our seats quickly; it's noon already. Chairman Wang, Liu Zong and the others specially opened two bottles of aged liquor today……" Wang Wei set the atmosphere, joking with Wang Changtian.

In just twenty minutes, various dishes were laid out on the round table, which was over two meters in diameter, and both white liquor and red wine had been opened.

From the moment they took their seats, there were only five people left in the banquet hall, and the atmosphere became much more formal.

"Since we've all picked up our chopsticks, Liu Zong, you don't need to lay out any more opening remarks; put aside the pleasantries. Let's get straight to the point, eat while we talk, and start."

Wang Changtian broke the awkward silence first and smiled at Liu Xiaobin and the other person.

Lin Nan didn't have much of a reaction and just ate his food. Wang Wei also just paused for a moment.

But Liu Xiaobin and the other person were different; they put down their cutlery and even started pouring wine for themselves.

"On behalf of Wanda, we would like to toast the three of you first." After finishing his words, the two of them downed the white liquor in their glasses in one gulp.

"Lin Dao, thank you very much for inviting Wanda to join Tudou back then……" Putting down his small wine glass, Liu Xiaobin sighed. Then he suddenly restrained his smile and said solemnly:

"Wanda hopes to transfer all the Tudou. com shares in our hands in the first half of next year. According to the shareholder agreement, we are first reporting this to the three of you, who are also original shareholders.

If the three of you can take these shares, then the three of you will take them. If the three of you cannot take them, then we must inform the second tier, Tencent and Weibo.

If after those two companies join, they still cannot fully digest these 12% of shares internally, then we can only introduce new shareholders from the outside……"

"Rest assured, it shouldn't reach the third step." Lin Nan interrupted Liu Xiaobin. By now, everyone had completely opened up, and everyone was saying whatever was on their minds.

"According to the current market value, the valuation of the shares held by Wanda is roughly around 19.8 billion RMB. Lin Dao, are you sure you don't need to introduce new shareholders again?" The vice president of Wanda asked with some distrust.

Before Lin Nan could speak, Wang Changtian already had some emotions about the other party's attitude, "Do you think Tencent lacks money? Does Weibo lack money? Obviously, cash is the one thing they don't lack.

When those two companies bought in back then, they both complained that their shares were too small. And Tudou's business and their businesses are perfectly compatible and complementary!"

"19.8 billion? You actually calculated it in advance. Actually, I have this cash myself.

But more shares really don't have any practical significance for me." Taking over Wang Changtian's words, Lin Nan's chuckle sounded slightly low.

Sure enough, the gazes of several people instantly turned to Lin Nan. And in a flash, they thought of that selling price of Crystal Film Industry—$5.7 billion!

"It was my oversight. Lin Dao, I'll toast you separately; I shouldn't have doubted your words." The other party was very decisive and immediately put on a smiling face, downing another glass of white liquor.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan also naturally revealed a smile and gave Wang Changtian a look.

The latter understood in a second, picked up his chopsticks again to eat, and waited for Lin Nan to speak.

"Lin Nan Film Industry and Wanda have been cooperating for over a decade; Tudou is considered a later matter. In the future, our two companies will still have to cooperate all the way." As he spoke, Lin Nan also poured himself a little red wine and raised his glass.

Liu Xiaobin and the other person hurriedly accompanied him, nodding in agreement.

"Since we are old partners and old teammates of many years, and our relationship won't change in the future, I'll be casual here and make a promise within my power."

As Lin Nan's words landed again, except for Wang Changtian, the other three were all curious.

"What is Lin Dao going to do?" Liu Xiaobin asked with a smile, faintly looking forward to it.

"If Wanda really reaches the point of urgently needing money later, in other words…… don't blame me for being direct." Lin Nan looked at Liu Xiaobin and the other person, adding a caveat.

"Lin Dao, please speak freely; we are all adults, how could we have those emotions." The vice president of Wanda waved his hand quickly.

"If Wanda really reaches that point of being at the end of its rope, you can open your mouth to me at any time, as long as it's within my power…… I definitely can't take out tens of billions, but I still have cash in the billions or nearly ten billion!

Liu Zong, you two can convey these words of mine to Chairman Wang after you go back. I have always been a person who keeps my promises." A smile was on Lin Nan's face, but his tone was exceptionally serious and earnest.

Seeing the expressions of Liu Xiaobin and the other person, they were equally solemn and cautious. Because they all understood one truth: there is never a free lunch in this world, and this kind of thing will never happen!

"Lin Nan's promise can also count as one from Light Chaser." At this moment, Wang Changtian spoke up unexpectedly.

At this moment, among the five people present, only Wang Wei was the most confused. But he could also faintly feel that Lin Nan and Wang Changtian must be hiding something from him!

"Thank you, Lin Dao and Chairman Wang, for your kind intentions. We will definitely convey Lin Dao's words to the Chairman exactly as they are."
