Chapter 1207: Subsidiary
Chapter 1207: Subsidiary
Xu Feng’s words were completely on the mark.
Tess had indeed received many disgusting offers in the past few months.
They were all despicable scums, who simply wanted her and then dismantled her company.
None of them were sincere and hoped to salvage Green Life Corp.
After all, the company’s reputation was abysmal, and the debts were rising.
"Since you have investigated that much, I have no reason to hide it." Tess pursed her lips. "Rather than selling myself to those scums, I would rather sell it to someone who can at least fulfill the deal."
"And how are you confident that I can fulfill the deal?" Xu Feng asked.
Without hesitation, Tess brought up the matters regarding his training hall.
Naturally, it was said in a very low tone.
"I suppose that means you agree to become a subsidiary of the Vanguard Guild." Xu Feng asked.
Tess nodded and promptly brought out a contract.
Realization quickly dawned upon Xu Feng.
"Hah, you are quite the shrewd woman." He chuckled in amusement. No wonder Tess kept mentioning using her body to get his help.
She was never serious in that intent, but was trying to test his character.
If he truly went along with it, then Tess would have given up and filed for bankruptcy officially.
Although it would be painful to lose the company, it was still better than letting the villains succeed.
"I apologize for my earlier behavior." Tess calmly said. "But this isn’t one of those short dramas where I will do anything to save the company. A lost company could always be rebuilt, but dignity and losing my innocence to a scum cannot be salvaged."
Xu Feng nodded in agreement.
He read over the contract details and realized it closely resembled the things he had mentioned.
"You really are a sly one." He glanced at her and commented.
"If one isn’t sly in the business world, then they aren’t really in it." She responded.
"Agreed."
Sometime later, he signed the contract, followed by Tess.
"From now on, Green Life Corp is a subsidiary of Vanguard Guild. You now have over 55% shares of the company."
"Not enough." Xu Feng shook his head and transferred a large sum of money to her. "Buy out the majority of the public shares and commence the process of going private. I have no interest in continuing Green Life Corp as a public company."
There were a lot of advantages in going public, which enabled them to receive many investors and expand rapidly.
However, the downside was that it could easily be attacked maliciously in the stock market. And in the worst-case scenario, one could potentially lose the company entirely simply because they lacked the money to buy the necessary shares to control it.
"Understood," Tess nodded and promptly sent a text message. "It’ll be done in less than 3 days."
Seeing how quickly she made the action, Xu Feng was rather speechless.
It appeared that she had read his mind from the start and was ready to go private from the start.
The only thing stopping her was a guarantee and a secure path in the Divine World.
By now, the Divine World was the hottest commodity. Those who invested early on already had their investment returned at least 8 times.
"I have informed Veronica. Once you return to the Divine World, you can apply to join the guild. Since you will be in charge of Green Life Corp’s operation, you will be promoted to an elite member directly. As for the rest who followed you, they still have to go through the necessary ranks to rise up."
"That is already good enough." Tess was relieved and didn’t dare to ask for more benefits.
"Also, take this time to have the company provide support for the short drama. That way, it would overturn your negative publicity." Xu Feng suggested.
Instantly, Tess’s eyes widened in surprise. She was filled with gratitude and naturally understood what it meant to be involved in the short drama production.
Thanks to many clips and leaks, many people have started to pay attention to the Vanguard Guild’s short drama.
This was especially so when there was now a Vanguard Entertainment Group.
That group was the first physical company established by the Vanguard Guild, so naturally, it garnered quite a lot of interest.
However, what alarmed a lot of people was that one of the shareholders was actually the young heiress from Maleficent Limited.
Despite owning only 3%, the fact that Evelyn was involved with the Vanguard Guild spoke volumes.
The information alone had inadvertently caused Maleficent Limited’s stock prices to rise and become even more valuable.
Simultaneously, players in the Divine World became enlightened that the Malefic Order Guild had reconciled with the Vanguard Guild.
And as players investigated further, they discovered another mind-boggling information.
"Did you hear the news? Apparently, the Malefic Order Guild had demanded a large compensation from the Miracle Pavilion."
"Hah, who wouldn’t know about it? After the Miracle Pavilion’s failed siege, the Malefic Order Guild quickly went into action to cut ties with them."
"It’s said that Luther was punished severely and even got demoted by two ranks. Moreover, the Miracle Pavilion was suffering from multiple ends for having lost their resources, and causing the other collaborators to be hit by the Vanguard Guild as well."
While the players gossiped about this, the Vanguard Guild’s new official post was like a lightning storm.
Vanguard Guild: As of this moment, Green Life Corp is now a subsidiary of the guild. All former members are eligible to join the Vanguard Guild, and any hostility toward them would go against the guild.
"Holy fuck! Green Life Corp actually managed to hug the thigh of Vanguard Guild?"
"Log out of the Divine World and check the latest stream from Wei Xing!"
In the blink of an eye, players logged out and opened Wei Xing’s livestream.
"Hello, everyone. It’s me, Wei Xing, also known as OneManMedia." Wei Xing greeted the newcomers with a bright smile, the number of spectators soaring from 1,000 to 7,000 in an instant.
"Today, I will personally bring everyone to the shooting set of the short drama, Transmigrated to Daxia Dynasty as Young Master of the Vanguard Clan! There will be no cuts or editing. One could say it’s an exclusive event!"
