Chapter 781: Chapter 328 Clearing the Obstacles_2

Zuo Zongcai also gave Su Huai a look of approval, "Your idea is good, steady, practical, and ambitious. It seems you really have the ability to manage a fortune of tens of billions. But..."

He frowned and asked sternly, "The most important thing about external lending is security. Have you considered that?"

Su Huai explained the matter in just a few sentences.

"The borrowers are the builders of the Baizhifang redevelopment project, and the developers are under the Financial Street Group. After our involvement, we can control the repayment process. Then we’ll have a chat with the banks, it’s foolproof."

Zuo Zongcai was momentarily stunned, "How do you know Mr. Gu is well acquainted with the Financial Street Group?"

"No need for him to be."

Su Huai smiled and waved his hand, "I just need to communicate with Wan Fangjiang and I can settle things with the board chairman of the developer Xuanxing."

Zuo Zongcai became even more amazed, "You’ve even sorted out Wan Fangjiang?!"

Su Huai glanced at Gu and smiled, "His son was the one who called the police that day. He came to see me a few days ago and was quite polite."

Su Huai’s description was extremely understated, not the annoying style of boasting while taking advantage of others.

He had a different approach for different people.

"I see."

Zuo Zongcai suddenly understood and after pondering for a moment, he kindly suggested, "Then you might as well save the favor. I’ll take care of this for you. Wan Fangjiang can do a lot of things in Capital City."

Su Huai readily agreed, "That works too. Then I’ll trouble you once more."

"It’s no trouble at all," Zuo Zongcai didn’t take credit, "After all, taking responsibility for Yueyue’s money is originally part of my job."

"Then when they get the documents ready, I’ll bring them to you for a review."

"Good, we’ll talk then."

The two quickly put aside the billion-level business and didn’t waste any more thought on it.

There was no need.

The figure of ten billion wasn’t large in itself, and the return rate was so low, it wasn’t worth the attention.

Zuo Zongcai took the opportunity to educate Gu Jiuyue:

"Jiuyue, you should start to understand what an investment company does and where its work priorities lie.

For an investment company the size of Heaven’s Will, using ten billion to invest in a hundred startups, giving each ten million is called a big deal and deserves our full attention because if even one unicorn emerges, it can yield returns that are dozens or hundreds of times greater.

Whereas lending out ten billion temporarily, even with a 50% annual return rate, isn’t worth expending energy on.

Because that’s an opportunity due to chance, such high return rates can’t sustain over the long term and lack additional value..."

Jiuyue understood immediately and nodded slightly, "The difference between the main and side business, I get it now, Uncle Zuo."

"Smart girl! No dumb offspring from a tiger~~~"

Zuo Zongcai was slightly teasing when he complimented Gugu, but when he turned to talk to Su Huai, his vigilance exceeded his affection.

"I’ve brought the Byte shares you wanted, how much of Xingyu Shares are you planning to exchange?"

But Su Huai wasn’t in a hurry.

"Let’s wait a bit longer, now isn’t the time. We must first stabilize the performance, to let Uncle Gu see clearly that I’m not committing fraud."

"Not bad, that’s the spirit of a real man," Zuo Zongcai was very pleased, looking forward to seeing Xingyu develop further for a fair exchange.

From his perspective, Xingyu’s potential was comparable to that of Byte. The former had a low market value but strong earning power, while the latter had a high market value but also high risk. Delaying the exchange couldn’t be better.

But from Su Huai’s perspective, Xingyu was in a period of explosive growth, while Byte’s market value wouldn’t see much increase before 2018. Exchanging shares half a year later was the most advantageous choice.

At this time, no one could imagine that Douyin, which had just been launched, would sweep across the globe in five years.

This disparity in information led to the significant undervaluation of Byte’s worth.

Many investment institutions even judged that 200 billion US dollars was the cap for Byte, and being acquired by one of the ATs was an inevitable fate.

Er, if Douyin hadn’t taken off and Neihan Duanzi had stirred up some trouble, the best outcome for Byte would indeed have been acquisition by Tencent, which was certainly much better than being acquired by Alibaba.

But there were no ifs; everyone underestimated Byte’s algorithms, including the old Gu and Zuo.

Thus, Su Huai was destined to take advantage of this.

Of course, Huai wasn’t in it for the money; with the Byte shares in our hands, we could make them work better than old Gu ever could. What does he know about the new era of traffic?

When you’ve got the Gold Coin, blast it. The longer you wait, the more it goes to waste.

Thinking about various things, Su Huai smiled like a sunny young man, "Uncle Zuo, I’m giving up on being a tough guy and begging time now—Could you please hasten the building matter? Our company is expanding too quickly; we’re short on everything..."

"You, you!"

Zuo Zongcai had never before been in a situation quite like this, being chased after for favors.

He pointed at Su Huai, scolding and scolding, but in the end, he had no choice.

"Give me another month and a half; by the Lunar New Year, I’ll have it completely vacated for you."

With a single look from Su Huai, Gu immediately started to flatter on his behalf, "Uncle Zuo is the best, thank you for your hard work!"

They clinked their coffee cups as substitutes for wine.

The adorable Gu charmed Zuo Zongcai so much that his scalp tingled; he hurriedly changed the subject, for fear of being stuck with this troublesome duo.

"How many streamers does the company have now?"

"About thirty-five thousand."

"Huh?" Zuo Zongcai’s eyes went round as beads. "How could there be so many? I checked the data; there are only about a hundred thousand streamers on the entire network, right?"

Su Huai nodded, "About that, we’ve grabbed thirty percent of them, but most are signed online and won’t last long—they’re just cannon fodder."

"With such a high market share, how do you manage to stay so calm?" Zuo Zongcai swallowed hard, his appreciation for Xingyu’s potential, and Su Huai’s composure grew.

"Such a generalized market share isn’t very useful."

Su Huai shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "Only by being number one on every platform, so that new platforms actively seek us to join them, can we say we’ve achieved something."

Zuo Zongcai was a bit startled.

"Your ambition outsizes Old Gu’s from his youth by far—it’s really awe-inspiring!"

"It’s just the times, normal."

Su Huai grinned, showing his teeth.

By 2025, there would be 15 million streamers in the country, and the official document would recognize internet streaming as an official profession. It wouldn’t be two years before industry standards and qualifications would be issued; only then would a thirty percent market share truly be gold-plated.

Now? It was more like child’s play.

With the experience from a future life, Su Huai couldn’t be proud at all; instead, he felt a pressing urgency that time was of the essence.

"Uncle Zuo, after the New Year, we’ll start choosing locations to establish branch offices. Can you help introduce a few buildings then?"

Zuo Zongcai was so frightened that he started waving his hands furiously, just like the ’flower hand’ gesture.

"Don’t look for me; An Yue Property is right on the nose for this job; they’re much more professional... Right, why don’t you ask Old Gu tomorrow to take up a deputy general position or something at Heaven’s Will? Then it’ll be completely legitimate for you to order people around below you."

"Uncle Zuo~~~"

Gu Jiuyue couldn’t help but chuckle softly and tease, You won’t help, but why are you also taking time to stir the pot?

Su Huai, however, thought this approach wasn’t too bad—it’s my good friend’s company, what’s wrong with leveraging some connections to snare a deputy position?

It’s clear as day!

"Alright, alright, I won’t trouble you with this matter for now; I’ll have a chat with Uncle Gu, but remember to help drum up support for me~"

Hiss...

Zuo Zongcai took a sharp breath.

Carelessly, he’d gotten stuck to him again!

As soon as Old Zuo hurried through the urgent matter at hand, he quickly paid the bill and left, making his escape.

This kid was too cunning and shameless, and so methodical about it—every single day was a battle of wits, and he ended up at a loss every time... it was quite aggravating.

However, when Zuo Zongcai got back to the company, he still praised Su Huai to Gu Tongshu.

"The potential of Xingyu is much higher than expected; your precious daughter won’t lose out!"

Gu Tongshu was skeptical, "Is it really that good?"

Zuo Zongcai slapped the "Live-Streaming Industry Market Analysis" report in front of him and scoffed, "Such a huge market, he’s aiming to take down seventy percent of the mid-tier by himself, just imagine how big a piece of the pie that is; you do the math?"

Gu Tongshu pondered thoughtfully for a while and sighed.

"Alright then, if he wants Byte, let’s give it to him; find time for me to have a chat with Zhang Yiming."

And just like that, Su Huai removed the final obstacle to embrace Byte.

And now, there was still a whole year before Douyin’s explosion...
