The fans were all extremely concerned about her.
All of them tried to find out her future plans through different channels online.
Xia Ling stayed at home and sieved through all of the entertainment companies. She realized that Pei Ziheng was right. Besides Imperial Entertainment and Skyart Entertainment, the other companies were too small and unable to give her a very good environment.
She might as well create her own company.
This thought suddenly appeared in her mind and grew crazily like a weed.
If she had her own company, she did not have to be restricted by anyone and no one would say that she was relying on someone to back her up. The gossip columns were unkind to her because she was an ordinary girl who had ambiguous relationships with the two big bosses of the two largest entertainment companies.
She had enough of it.
The starlight in the autumn night was faint, and the unknown insects chirped in the garden.
She took a sip of wine and gazed at the starry sky. The breeze slowly blew her shirt and long hair. At that time, the flowers were good and the night was good. Life was like a song and everything was well.
If she wanted to set up her own company, why not take advantage of this moment?
Especially since Yan Fengmang was still there and ambitions were yet to be extinguished by emotions.
Especially since the timing was right.
She made an appointment to visit Lin Yunan’s villa and told him about her idea.
Lin Yunan was still wearing a shirt that looked dirty. The buttons on his neckline were slanted. He grabbed a bottle of beer and poured it into his mouth and smiled a little sarcastically. “Why look for me? There are countless people who want to support you and curry favor with you. Why would you want to look for someone whom you’ve abandoned twice?”
This guy had always been calculative.
Xia Ling knew that this person was only harsh on the outside but soft-hearted on the inside. If he were not interested in her, he would not have been willing to meet her in the middle of the night. Seeing him speak grudgingly, she squinted and shamelessly said, “The first time when I went to Imperial Entertainment from Dongyue, you weren’t qualified enough to prevent me from transferring to another company. The second time, Li Lei fired you because he did not like the way you did things and punished you. How is this related to me?”
“Oh, little girl.” Lin Yunan took the bottle and made a gesture. “After not seeing you for a few days, you’ve grown up and now dare to rebuke your brother. I can’t believe you are able to come up with such sophistry!”
“Anyway, if I create a company, will you join?” Xia Ling was too lazy to argue with him.
“Of course!” Lin Yunan said. “However, I have a condition.” She was a rare musical talent of the century. Even if she were hard to please and a little difficult, he was unwilling to give her up.
“What condition?” Xia Ling asked.
Lin Yunan leaned forward slightly. “I want to sign an exclusive manager contract with you for a lifetime. Don’t even think about changing your manager anymore! Furthermore, I want a stake in your company so that no one will be able to fire me!”
He was probably hurt after being fired by Li Lei.
Xia Ling smiled. “Sure. I will give you a stake. How about 30%?” Not only was this percentage large, but it was also overly generous. If the big players Li Lei or Pei Ziheng were here, they would definitely be so mad that they would almost faint after hearing how she was doing business. A 30% stake… was she crazy?!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yunan was unsatisfied. “I won’t take advantage of you, so I don’t want a stake. Both of us are partners. You get the majority share of 51% while I get 49%.” He knew that since Xiao Ling wanted to start her own company, he was unwilling to be beneath anyone else. Getting 51% was the minimum to own the company, so he wanted 49% to ensure that he had an important position in the company.
Xia Ling was stunned.
“What? Not satisfied?” Lin Yunan challenged.
“No…” In fact, she did not know anything about shares and was not very interested in earning money. She only wanted to start this company so she could sing freely. Giving Lin Yunan 30% or 49% was no different to her. The only difference was…
“You mean you don’t want a stake but you want to use your own money to invest?” She asked.
“Yes. Why would I take advantage of a girl?” Lin Yunan said reasonably. “No matter what, I’m one of the heirs of the Lin Group. I have money. Tell me, how much money do you intend to invest in the company. I will inject 49% of the amount into your company.”
Xia Ling looked at him weakly. If she said 10 billion, would she be beaten to death?
She had no concept about creating a business and only knew that she had 10 billion in cash. Anyway, it was not being used, so she felt that it was better to invest everything in her company.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Lin Yunan was somewhat impatient. “It’s okay if you don’t have enough money. I can’t lend you some. It’s also okay if the company is a little small at the start. We can start building the company from the bottom. Anyway, the greatest asset of the company isn’t money but your voice.”
“It’s not that.”
“It’s not that?” Lin Yunan exclaimed, “Don’t undermine the value of your voice!”
“I’m not talking about that…” Xia Ling’s voice faltered.
“Then what are you talking about?” Lin Yunan was really annoyed. “Can you stop beating about the bush?!”
Alright…
Xia Ling took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I have 10 billion. If 51% of the company amounts to 10 billion, won’t you have to cough up around 9 billion for 49% of the company?” She accepted her fate. Besides, he would only say the truth.
“Wh… what?! 10 billion?!” Lin Yunan was about to go crazy. “You can’t be serious, miss! What did you say? How much? Did I hear something wrong? It’s not 10 billion but 1 million?”
“You heard correctly. It’s 10 billion.” Since they were talking about this, Xia Ling had nothing to hide. “Don’t worry. This money is clean and unproblematic. I can spend it as I like. I can also give you a percentage to make you rich overnight.”
“Rubbish! Rich overnight? That’s not the main point!” Lin Yunan glared at her like he was looking at an alien. Why didn’t he realize that this weak girl who looked like she could not do anything besides sing was actually a hidden wealthy beauty?
He wanted to kneel. 10 billion was about half of the net worth of the Lin Family!
“49% of the shares… Just pretend that I didn’t say anything…” Lin Yunan said weakly and accepted reality. “At the most, I can give you 150 million…” In total, the funds available for his use only amounted to 150 million.
“Okay.” Xia Ling didn’t care, anyway. Besides, 10 billion was an astronomical figure to her and she did not know what to do with it. To her, 10, 150, or 20 billion were the same.
Lin Yunan heart was bleeding. His 49% stake! Could it be that it had disappeared just like that?!
Shame, such a shame! She had promised to give him a 49% stake, but in the end, he did not have enough money! Lin Yunan really regretted not digging up her background before negotiating for a stake.
“If you have so much money, why did you join Skyart Entertainment?!” Lin Yunan lamented. Could it be that she really went to Skyart Entertainment for that good-for-nothing man?
Xia Ling innocently said, “Because Li Lei is there.”
Lin Yunan was speechless.
