Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Earning a Billion_1

"I advise you to stop entertaining any fantasies. Dad will never get back together with you. If he did, I’d lose all respect for him," Chen Yuting said.

"How can you speak like that? What’s wrong with him getting back together with me?" Feng Lijuan was getting angry.

"Okay, okay, I’ll stop talking about it. Since you want to get back with Dad so badly, when are you planning to divorce Dong Qikang?" Chen Yuting asked.

"We’ll see," Feng Lijuan’s gaze flickered.

"Are you planning to wait until Dong Qikang is completely ousted from the company?" Chen Yuting saw right through her.

This is just the kind of person Mom is, leaving someone when they’re down and out.

That’s exactly what she did when she left Dad.

"Yuting, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll just be frank. Yes, that’s what I’m thinking. It’s the safest bet," Feng Lijuan was utterly shameless.

"Do whatever you want," Chen Yuting didn’t want to deal with her mother’s issues, knowing she couldn’t intervene anyway.

...

The next day.

Shen Dong met with representatives from Xijiang Gold Company, Dongshan Gold Company, and Guangming Gold Company in a hotel’s conference room.

Shen Dong let the three compete with bids to decide who would get the gold mine.

He didn’t want to drag it out any longer.

As long as the bid was over one billion, he would transfer the gold mine.

In the end, Dongshan Gold Company offered 1.03 billion, which was the highest bid among the three.

Shen Dong agreed.

"Mr. Shen, you made a fortune," Dongshan Gold Company’s representative, General Manager Deng Lei, said, looking at Shen Dong with a complicated expression.

This young man turned a project acquired for thirty million into ten billion in less than a month.

"Mr. Deng, it should be said that Dongshan Gold Company has made a fortune. With this gold mine, you can widen the gap with other gold companies," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, there’s one more thing: we can’t procure that much cash at once. We can only pay six billion upfront, and we’ll need some time to pay the remaining 430 million. Is that okay?" Deng Lei said.

Enterprises like theirs truly couldn’t come up with so much cash on hand.

Despite their companies having high market values and appearing very wealthy, they didn’t have much liquid cash on the books.

"For the remaining money, I don’t want cash. You can give me the equivalent in Dongshan Gold Company’s shares instead, how’s that?"

After some thought, Shen Dong felt he didn’t lack cash and decided to get some shares of Dongshan Gold Company instead.

With Dongshan Gold Company acquiring this gold mine, its development would advance further.

By holding some shares, he could also enjoy the benefits of Dongshan Gold Company’s future development, making the deal even more perfect.

"That... I can’t make that decision. I need to check in on that, please wait a moment," Deng Lei stepped out to make a phone call.

Shortly after, he returned.

He said the company’s board of directors agreed to exchange 430 million for shares with Shen Dong.

"Great, now we’re all part of Dongshan Gold Company," Shen Dong said cheerfully.

"Mr. Shen, to be honest, I’ve seen many outstanding young people, but someone as outstanding as you, this is my first time," Deng Lei said.

This was probably flattery.

After the deal, Shen Dong was now a shareholder of Dongshan Gold Company, his status exceeding that of this general manager.

While the other man was an employee, Shen Dong would be a shareholder.

There was no comparison.

Moreover, during this time, he had investigated Shen Dong.

Without investigation, he knew nothing; with investigation, he was shocked.

He discovered that Shen Dong was the owner of the highly popular Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao.

No wonder Shen Dong had the courage to take on the gold mine project.

If he owned two such companies, he’d also be willing to take the risk.

"You overpraise me, Mr. Deng," Shen Dong said.

What followed was drawing up the contract and signing it.

Shen Dong called Shuidilao’s legal department over to check the contract drafted by Deng Lei.

After inspection, the legal team said there were no issues, and Shen Dong signed the contract.

Deng Lei had the company transfer six hundred million to Shen Dong.

Soon after, Shen Dong received the transfer of six hundred million.

Following the separation, Shen Dong evenly split the six hundred million into two parts, one part transferred into a futures account and the other into a stock account.

Since there was no immediate need for the money, he decided to invest it directly to make money from money.

He had the skills of an investment master, so he wasn’t worried about not making a profit.

After some research, Shen Dong bought several stocks, as well as two futures contracts.

Returning to Dongyan Company, he picked up his wife from work.

Tomorrow was time to go home for the Chinese New Year.

The employees of Dongyan Guild were all staying at the company to work overtime.

The New Year was a prime time for livestream sales.

Over the year, everyone had both money and leisure, and it was normal to make a purchase while watching a livestream.

The livestreamers were busiest when others were resting.

To make money, the company’s employees were all giving it their all.

Faced with such excellent employees, Shen Dong naturally wanted to reward them.

He called a meeting and announced that overtime pay during the Spring Festival would be five times the regular wage, which was twice the statutory requirement.

Last time, for the Mid-Autumn Festival overtime, it was the same pay.

In addition, besides giving everyone a substantial year-end bonus, Shen Dong also gave each person a large red packet of five thousand yuan.

These measures made the entire company’s staff cheer.

Working under such a boss was just perfect!

Li Kaiyao: The boss is generous!

Employee A: The boss is mighty!

Employee D: The boss has great presence!

Yang Xiaoming: Boss, you are the best boss I have ever seen!

After the meeting, Shen Dong went to Wang Jingpeng’s office.

Since he would be going home for the New Year tomorrow, he needed to hear Wang Jingpeng’s report and give some instructions to him.

"Mr. Shen, Huya Guild has been trying to poach our streamers recently. Most of them have clearly declined, but a few have neither refused nor accepted, as if considering. Yesterday, Song Qianqian came to me and said that if her share of the profits isn’t increased, she will leave the company," reported Dong Qikang about the company’s situation to Shen Dong.

Shen Dong was not surprised by this situation.

It was natural for some people to want to leave once a company reached a certain scale.

It was also normal for some to be tempted to jump ship.

It was only expected that there would be attempts to poach the company’s top streamers.

If nobody was trying to poach them, it would mean the company was not doing well.

This would be the most tragic scenario.

Shen Dong was quite satisfied that most people had clearly refused.

This indicated that the majority of the employees’ loyalty to the guild was commendable.

As for the streamer Song Qianqian that Wang Jingpeng mentioned, Shen Dong had some recollection. She was a broadcaster contracted a month ago.

Beautiful and with a sweet voice, her talent lay in singing.

She had a pretty sizeable following – over six million fans.

This number of fans was considered mid-tier in Dongyan Guild.

Shen Dong didn’t care at all that she wanted to switch teams.

However, this issue still needed to be handled properly.

Otherwise, it would affect the morale of the other streamers.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think we should do?" Shen Dong inquired.

"Mr. Shen, I’ve thought it over. We must deal with streamers wanting to jump ship in a serious fashion. We absolutely cannot agree to Song Qianqian’s demands, otherwise, it’s sure to set a precedent for other streamers, and that would be troublesome," Wang Jingpeng said soberly.

"Mhm, continue," Shen Dong nodded.
