Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Li Zihong was also surprised by Zhou Qi's reaction, but he was even more dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's attitude.

After all, Zhou Qi was a partner he favored. Considering this, even if they could not reach an agreement on the price, they should at least maintain the channel of communication.

So he called Zhou Qi: "Xiao Zhou, wait a moment."

Then Li Zihong turned to Yang Cheng and said, "Old Yang, you don't plan to continue to expand your film and television business in the future. Looking around Hong Kong City, who else can be as capable as Xiao Zhou to take over and continue your career?

The mainland market is his strong point, and taking over Asia City Entertainment can be considered a kind of inheritance. How about we each take a step back? "

Li Zihong's words were actually to gain a way out for Zhou Qi. As a heavyweight figure, the weight of his words could not be ignored.

Although Yang Cheng was dissatisfied with Zhou Qi's attitude, he had to consider Li Zihong's opinion.

"Actually, I would rather accept an equity exchange. I wonder what industries Mr. Zhou owns?" he asked.

Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "Mr. Yang, I don't think there is any need to consider the equity exchange. I think the shares of Asia City Entertainment may depreciate seriously in the future."

This statement made Yang Cheng's face change suddenly.

If Zhou Qi's departure before made him unhappy, then the words now ignited his anger - this was simply a denial of the value of Asia City Entertainment.

Li Zihong also frowned, feeling that Zhou Qi's statement was too direct and even a little offensive.

No one likes to hear their hard work being evaluated in this way, even if that’s what they want to sell.

"Young man, what do you mean by this?" Yang Cheng asked.

Zhou Qi calmly replied: "I am just stating the facts. Asia City Entertainment still has some value now, but it may face serious economic challenges soon, and it will be much more difficult to find a buyer then.

Therefore, equity swap is not a good option.”

Li Zihong seemed to understand Zhou Qi's intention. A glimmer of insight flashed in his eyes, and he knew that things were moving in a certain direction.

Yang Cheng looked at Zhou Qi again, his face becoming more serious: "Young man, can you be responsible for your words?"

Zhou Qi nodded firmly: "I can say responsibly that the Internet economic bubble is about to burst, and Asia City Entertainment will inevitably be affected.

If you don't believe me, we can make a bet: 2 billion. If what I said is true, I will buy Asia City Entertainment for 300 million. Otherwise, I will compensate you 2 billion."

Zhou Qi glanced at Li Zihong, thought for a moment, and shook his head and said:

"No need to gamble. I will sell Asia City Entertainment to you for 300 million, but you have to agree to one condition - you have to join my plan with Lao Li."

Zhou Qi's words made the other party frown slightly. He initially thought that Li Zihong had revealed something to Yang Cheng, but he quickly denied this idea.

After all, Li Zihong mobilized 120 billion yuan of funds, which shows his attention to the upcoming market changes. As one of the wealthy families in Hong Kong, any move of the Li family will attract attention and cannot be easily leaked.

This cooperation with the Li family was kept strictly confidential. Only a very small number of people knew about it, and they were limited to members of the Li family, excluding Li Jianan.

Even though Yang Cheng and Li Zihong had a very good personal relationship, they would not easily reveal secrets.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I'm just guessing."

Yang Cheng looked at Zhou Qi's expression and became more certain of his judgment: "From the conditions you proposed, it is obvious that you are very confident in yourself, and Lao Li also trusts and supports you very much.

The stock market has been volatile recently, especially with the sale of Tang's Real Estate shares. As far as I know, there are not many people in Hong Kong who can do this."

"I think that person should be you."

Yang Cheng speculated: "Combined with what you said about the international Internet, if I'm not mistaken, your plan should involve the stock market."

Li Zihong chuckled and said, "Old Yang, you have a really sharp eye."

This statement was tantamount to tacitly confirming their guess.

Zhou Qi no longer concealed his intentions and directly proposed the conditions for cooperation: "Mr. Yang, as long as you are willing to entrust me with full authority to operate the business and raise no objections, I will accept any investment you make."

Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and proposed that Li Zihong be the guarantor to ensure the trust of both parties.

Zhou Qi stretched out his hand and the two shook hands to reach an agreement.

"I wish us a pleasant cooperation," he said.

Yang Cheng smiled and responded: "It will definitely be a pleasure!"

His trust was not entirely based on Zhou Qi, but on his understanding of Li Zihong over the years. Years of friendship made him believe in Li Zihong's vision, and this opportunity should not be missed.

After chatting and laughing, Yang Cheng found an excuse to leave and walked away in a happy mood.

Zhou Qi said to Li Zihong with a hint of apology: "Mr. Li, I just embarrassed myself in front of you."

He understood that Li Zihong had noticed his intention and therefore left him the opportunity to talk.

However, Yang Cheng's wit exceeded expectations. Not only did he not fall into the trap of the gambling, but he cleverly joined their team.

It has to be said that Yang Cheng is indeed a bold and careful person, and is good at seizing opportunities.

"If it were me, I would probably lower the stakes to 1 billion, which would probably have a better effect."

Li Zihong said jokingly, then said seriously:

"But it's also good to reach a cooperation, which is actually more beneficial to you. You can reduce the cost of acquiring Asia City Entertainment, and he can also make more money, and you don't lose anything."

These words not only show trust in Zhou Qi, but also recognition of his abilities.

Li Zihong continued, "As for Yang Cheng, I have known him for more than ten years. Although he is shrewd and calculating in business, I still trust him very much in terms of character and reliability."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu's doubts also dissipated. How could he make friends with someone that Li Zihong didn't trust?

At the beginning of the dinner, as a charity auction dinner, the theme was naturally auction.

VIPs like Li Zihong enjoyed exclusive front-row seats, while youngsters Zhou Qi, Li Jiaxin and Li Jianan sat in the back.

Looking around, hundreds of tables were occupied, and celebrities gathered. The stars were seated in an orderly manner, showing their different status.

The people in the front row glanced at the back row with contempt, while the people in the back row looked towards the front with envy and jealousy, wishing that one day they could sit in the front row and become the focus of everyone's attention.

In the last few rows, Zhou Qi noticed an actor - Zhou Xingchi.

At this time, he had not yet made his mark and seemed a little uneasy. However, soon he would become one of the most dazzling stars in Hong Kong and gain the reputation of "Xing Ye".

As if sensing Zhou Qi's gaze, Zhou Xingchi looked up. Zhou Qi smiled and nodded slightly, and Zhou Xingchi immediately responded, nodding repeatedly, obviously surprised.

"Do you know him?" Li Jiaxin asked curiously.

Zhou Qi smiled, retracted his gaze, nodded and said: "He is very talented."
