Lao Wang became more excited the more he thought about it, but this matter still required Xia Lin's approval.
Otherwise, no matter how well they spoke, it would be useless. Their desire to unite and attract willing investment was unrealistic.
Xia Lin had to be the intermediary, making others willing to open their wallets.
What was going on? Li Chaoren was puzzled.
Why was an investment of hundreds of billions being made so casually, without even batting an eyelid?
"Uncle Li, this matter is not yet settled. I will invite the CEO of Keli Entertainment over now. If she agrees, I will invest any amount of money."
Lao Wang knew that rambling on was useless; it had to be confirmed by Xia Lin's presence.
"Uh... alright." Li Chaoren was very confused.
Then, Lao Wang got up and went out to make a call to the national little Wang, asking him to arrange for Xia Lin to come to this place.
Xia Lin and her group were at Keli Entertainment Company, preparing to go out for a meal. Lao Wang's call came at just the right time, and then everyone rushed over.
When Xia Lin and the others appeared, Li Chaoren and Miss Dong were both taken aback. Weren't these all juniors?
Could it be that Keli Entertainment Company was founded by Lao Wang and his juniors?
No wonder Lao Wang and Penguin Ma were desperately investing; among these people were the national little Wang and Ma Yuqin.
"Lin'er, come sit quickly." Lao Wang stood up and personally pulled out a chair for Xia Lin.
Xia Lin was slightly surprised to see Li Chaoren and Miss Dong, then nodded and smiled at them. Da Feng Novel Network
"Lin'er, you know these two, right? This is Li Chaoren and Miss Dong." Lao Wang then introduced Xia Lin to them, saying, "This is Xia Lin, the chairman of Keli Entertainment."
Everyone nodded to each other, acknowledging their acquaintance.
However, Xia Lin's identity made them curious. This little girl was definitely not as simple as she appeared.
From Lao Wang's attitude and his previous investment style, there must be a special situation they didn't know about.
"Lin'er, we asked you to come over today to hear your thoughts. Your Uncle Ma and I are prepared to invest in your entertainment company, to make the company bigger and stronger, to crush Hollywood, and to become the most profitable entertainment company in the world."
Lao Wang didn't beat around the bush, directly stating the purpose of calling Xia Lin over.
"Ah... isn't it good enough now?" Xia Lin was stunned upon hearing this.
"Lin'er, Lao Wang is right. The United States has Hollywood, and even India has Bollywood. Our China must have a large international company. And only by investing in your company will everyone work together wholeheartedly. This way, a company can truly grow, go out of China, and face the world."
Penguin Ma also chimed in.
Only with Xia Lin's company would everyone put in their best effort and utilize their resources, thus achieving rapid growth from the start.
"Lin'er, what are you afraid of? Don't we have our help? When our companies go global in the future, and we have money, we can repay China and do more meaningful things."
The national little Wang advised.
"Yes, since everyone supports it, we can work together wholeheartedly." Qin Dou said.
Xia Lin thought for a while and said, "I don't understand, but if you want to do it, I can be the leader."
Xia Lin was no longer the naive little girl she once was. She knew that she was the leader; without her, it wouldn't happen.
Everyone was looking at her brother's face, which was why such a company was formed.
Although she was a girl, women could now hold up half the sky. She was willing to do anything that would contribute to China's prosperity and strength.
Money was not important; what mattered was making it bigger and stronger, and contributing to the country.
"Good, Lin'er, your words are enough. I will invest 40 billion." Lao Wang made the decision.
Upon hearing this, the national little Wang glanced at his father. Could their family afford 40 billion?
They couldn't come up with it without selling a few industries.
Since his father agreed, the national little Wang naturally had no objections. Selling was selling, even if it meant selling everything.
"I'll invest 30 billion, and it can be increased later," Penguin Ma said immediately.
Then, Lao Wang winked at Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren smiled and said, "Since everyone is interested, I'll invest 10 billion."
"I don't have money, so I won't play with you," Miss Dong said with a smile.
She genuinely didn't have the money, unlike them who could invest billions or hundreds of billions so casually.
Gree Group was not her company; Gree was a state-owned enterprise, and she was only the chairman, receiving an annual salary and dividends.
"It's okay, there are still plenty of people to invest." Lao Wang was also aware of Miss Dong's situation. With investments of hundreds of billions, she couldn't come up with it even if she sold herself.
"I'll notify the group and see how much they invest," Penguin Ma said, sending a message in the China Forbes group chat.
China Forbes Group Chat:
Penguin Ma: @Everyone, I and Lao Wang are investing in Lin'er's entertainment company, preparing to crush Hollywood. I'm investing 30 billion, Lao Wang is investing 40 billion. How much will you invest?
Jack Ma: I'll invest 40 billion too.
Jiang Quanshui: I'll invest 30 billion.
Lei Ming: I'll invest 50 billion.
As soon as Penguin Ma's message was sent, Jack Ma and the other two followed suit. Especially Lei Ming, who considered himself a latecomer and directly put in a significant investment of 50 billion.
This news stunned Li Chaoren and Miss Dong, who then looked at Xia Lin, completely baffled.
No wonder Xia Lin said she was the leader. This was probably more than just being a leader.
Old Xu who loves football: What's going on? Are you forming an alliance to do entertainment? This is big news!
Penguin Ma: Old Xu, are you investing or not? If you don't invest now, you won't be able to even if you want to later.
Old Xu who loves football: No money, not investing. Not interested in entertainment.
Lei Ming: Sigh... what a missed opportunity. You'll cry when the time comes.
Old Xu who loves football: Only an idiot would cry.
Jack Ma: Idiot... haha, I'll call you that first.
Jiang Quanshui: I just spoke to Durapeter and Orville about this. Durapeter is willing to invest 5 billion Euros, and Orville is willing to invest 8 billion Euros.
Hiss...
When Li Chaoren saw this message, he gasped.
He was already suspicious of Lao Wang and the others' investment. Now that Orville was investing 8 billion Euros, if he still didn't understand, he would have lived in vain.
"Lao Wang, I've thought about it. I'll add another 30 billion to make it 40 billion, the same as you. I'm stopping one project anyway."
Li Chaoren felt it was still timely to mend his ways, lest he regret it later as Lei Ming said, unable to invest even if he wanted to.
Xia Lin? Xia Feng?
Li Chaoren was now certain that Xia Lin was probably the sister of that influential figure. Everyone was trying to get close to Xia Lin.
Wasn't he coming to Mo Du for this very reason? Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he absolutely could not miss it.
