No one felt that Guo Yunpeng was serious when they received such a request for quote. It was only when Guo Yunpeng sent a second request for quote to these companies that everyone felt that Guo Yunpeng really wanted to buy their company!
With this, everyone became excited.
A lot of people start a company, why? To make money, of course, and to make a profit a company would need a very long time. For example, if Xu Taiping wanted to invest 1 billion in a new energy source, he would only be able to return it after ten years. If someone was willing to buy the company at a high price, that would be equivalent to saving the money, and many people's investments would be able to quickly realize that, which was a very good thing for many people, especially for those who wanted to make money.
Therefore, when Guo Yunpeng asked for a second price, many people were moved by his offer. Hence, all the bosses started to get in touch with him.
Guo Yunpeng's actions were not concealed at all. Naturally, it was quickly discovered by the others.
Countless people were shocked by Guo Yunpeng's extravagant display, but even more people immediately thought of Xu Taiping, who was standing behind Guo Yunpeng.
Guo Yunpeng was a partner of Xu Taiping, and was also one of his trusted aides. Whenever he made a big move, it would always make people think of him.
Many people knew that Zhao Yisheng had made his move against Xu Taiping in the past two days. In fact, many people had been waiting to see Xu Taiping's counterattack, many of them had thought that Xu Taiping would retaliate in such a manner, but no one had imagined that he would do so.
He raised his bid to more than twenty entertainment companies at the same time. This was the intention of buying half of the entertainment industry!
As long as the entire entertainment circle was made up of Xu Taiping's, how could Zhao Yisheng fight against Xu Taiping? No matter how famous you are, no company requests you to do any activities, no company collaborates with you to make a movie, sooner or later you are going to be screwed, recognition is something that has to be exposed before there is a chance. Once it is not exposed, the so-called fame will disappear quickly.
Many people were watching to see if Xu Taiping could do it this way.
That afternoon, a heavyweight news arrived.
Taiya Group had purchased the country's first short video platform, Shuiyin, for a sky-high price of 27.5 billion.
This price was 7 billion higher than the estimate given by the industry for Yinyin.
At the end of last year, someone specifically evaluated Shuiyin, whose value was around 20 billion. But now, in just over a month, Shuiyin had sold him for 27.5 billion, which was about 40% higher than the estimated price. What did this mean? This showed the Taiya Group's great determination!
In a short period of time, the entire entertainment circle was in an uproar. The Taiya Group did not hesitate to spend an extra 40% to buy the Fudan Yin. That meant that the other companies could also sell it for a pretty good price!
Thus, Guo Yunpeng's grand acquisition plan proceeded smoothly.
Undersea City, somewhere.
"Bastard!" Zhao Yisheng slammed the phone angrily onto the table.
The phone that was worth tens of thousands of yuan was destroyed just like that.
All of Zhao Yisheng's trusted aides stood in front of him with their heads down, not daring to speak.
"This Xu Taiping, how can he be so rich? How can he!" Zhao Yisheng roared.
Zhao Yisheng's men were just as helpless as Zhao Yisheng because Xu Taiping was truly too rich.
"Does he not care about the cost when he buys a company? If it exceeds the market value by 40%, then why would you buy it even if it exceeds the market value by 60%? "It's obviously a losing business, how could anyone do business like that!" A few minutes ago, Zhao Yisheng had just learned that the biggest entertainment company in the country had already made a purchase agreement with Xu Taiping's Taiya Group. Xu Taiping had bought the entertainment company for 60% of its market value, so the boss of the company was probably happily counting money. Just half an hour ago, Zhao Yisheng had called the boss of the company and told him that he could not accept Xu Taiping's purchase no matter what.
Unexpectedly, only half an hour later, the person who had sworn that he would not accept Xu Taiping's purchase turned traitor.
Money was indeed something that could allow one to do as they pleased.
In the entertainment circle, Zhao Yisheng was someone who could do whatever he wanted. It was the first time he felt powerless. It was also the first time he felt powerless.
He thought that his actions earlier would avenge his son. He didn't expect that the other party's counterattack would be so ferocious …
At this moment, the door to Zhao Yisheng's office was pushed open.
"Boss, I've just received news that Taiya Group has purchased Royal Entertainment for 19.2 billion …" The subordinate said.
Zhao Yisheng stood there unmoved.
He had heard quite a few of these things in the past half hour, and he was no longer excited.
"Boss, so far, the Taiya Group has spent over 100 billion and bought over 10 entertainment companies. According to the scale of these entertainment companies, about a fifth of the current Chinese entertainment industry belongs to the Taiya Group, which is Xu Taiping." Zhao Yisheng's agent whispered.
Zhao Yisheng remained expressionless.
At this moment, Zhao Yisheng's manager suddenly remembered something.
Zhao Yisheng's agent quickly went to the side to pick up the phone. Not long later, he returned with a sullen expression.
"Boss, I just received the news …" Xu Taiping has already banned you throughout the entertainment circle. From now on … "Xu Taiping will have the entire entertainment circle ban you." Zhao Yisheng's manager said.
Zhao Yisheng plopped down on a chair.
He hadn't thought that things would actually turn out like this. He had imagined how Xu Taiping would counterattack him, but he hadn't thought that Xu Taiping's counterattack would be so direct, so violent, and so plentiful …
"Boss, we must stop Xu Taiping from acquiring the entire entertainment industry right now! If he really buys half of the entertainment circle, then we really will be banned. " The manager said excitedly.
"Tell me, what can we do to stop him?" Zhao Yisheng asked with a pale face.
The agent was speechless for a moment.
"I've already talked to the people in the company, but who would care about me in front of money? Or do I buy the companies? With my assets, I can buy one or two companies, but is that useful? "Useless." Zhao Yisheng shook his head.
The people around him were silent. They felt an indescribable sense of despair. When a person used over a trillion dollars to smash you, there was no way that you wouldn't be smashed to death.
At this moment, Zhao Yisheng's phone suddenly rang.
After taking a look at his phone, he realized that the caller was a number that he had almost never contacted before. The owner of this number had three words on it.
Azure Dragon Nangong!
Zhao Yisheng recognized the Nangong Azure Dragon, but he was not familiar with it.
As one of the top people in the entertainment circle, Zhao Yisheng had the chance to interact with some of the higher ups, such as Nangong Azure Dragon, whom he had met by chance in a department, and the team's friend was also a friend of the Nangong Azure Dragon, so Zhao Yisheng knew the Nangong Azure Dragon's identity. At that time, Zhao Yisheng had licked his face and left a number with the Nangong Azure Dragon, and Zhao Yisheng had also sent a few messages to the Nangong Azure Dragon, but he did not reply, so Zhao Yisheng no longer tried to interact with the Nangong Azure Dragon.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yisheng picked up the phone.
"Mister Nangong." Zhao Yisheng said.
"Yi Sheng, I've heard all about you." On the other end of the line came the low voice of the Azure Dragon Nangong.
"Sigh." Zero sighed.
"That Xu Taiping is too much. Not only did he send your only son to prison, but now he wants to ban you in the entertainment circle. He really thinks he's the richest man in the world." The Nangong Azure Dragon said.
"Even if he is not the richest man in the world, he is still the richest man in Asia. I have no other choice but to be bullied by him." Zhao Yisheng sighed.
"Yisheng, sometimes people need to learn how to resist." The Nangong Azure Dragon said.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yisheng whispered.
"As for me, I'm quite interested in the entertainment industry as well. It just so happens that you have a wide network in the entertainment industry, so I want you to introduce me to some companies and see if you can buy a few entertainment companies to do for yourself." The Nangong Azure Dragon said.
"Really?!" The Azure Dragon Nangong was a veteran tycoon of China. If he bought an entertainment company to fight with Xu Taiping, he would have some hope.
Of course, in addition, I know that you are very good at playing in the entertainment industry. Xu Taiping bought some companies, but the most valuable thing is not those companies, but the artists under those companies, as long as the artists under those companies are no longer around, then those companies will all be ruined as well, so, Yi Sheng, we can all work together, and you can help me make a connection, and also expose some artists' shady foundation. As for me, I will take out money, buy some companies, and stop Xu Taiping's expansion. The Nangong Azure Dragon said.
"I have too many black bottoms. Who in the entertainment circle is clean? Elder Nan Gong, if you really plan on opposing Xu Taiping, then I am definitely willing to support you! " Zhao Yisheng said excitedly.
"Since that's the case, then I wish us a happy cooperation." The Nangong Azure Dragon said.
"Alright, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
