Chapter 217 - 84: Hongdou President Xiao Bo

Once she was finished, she handed the old phone to Xie Wan. "From now on, this phone is yours. All you have to do is help me spend money on this app."

As Xie Wan reeled in surprise, Jiang Li spoke again. "Remember to send gifts to different men, not just one. Also, don’t go into the popular streams. Stick to the less popular ones with new streamers."

’It’s mainly because you can build up favorability faster in the newcomers’ streams.’

’If I went to a more popular stream, I’d have to spend millions in a single session just to get 50 favorability points.’

’Even with the cash-back, it’s just not worth it.’

’Okay, fine. I mainly just want to give the new guys a chance to be seen.’

’Xie Wan couldn’t believe Jiang Li was so bold, sending gifts to other men. And from the looks of it, these were some rather risqué streams, too.’

’But as Jiang Li’s personal assistant, she absolutely had to help her hide this from Shen Yanzhi.’

’Jiang Li was just making the kind of mistake any woman would. After all, women are visual creatures; they need a little novelty now and then.’

With that, Xie Wan took the phone. "Okay, no problem."

"Is there a spending limit for the gifts, though?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "No upper limit. Spend at most 100,000 per stream, then move on to the next one."

’But this can’t be a long-term solution.’

’The main problem is that the platform doesn’t have that many streamers. If I keep this up every day, I’ll probably run out of favorability points to collect in a couple of days.’

At this thought, Jiang Li couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the hottest livestreaming platform right now?"

Xie Wan considered it seriously for a moment. "If I had to pick one, it would probably be Hongdou. They have every style and type of stream, plus you can watch short videos and read novels on it."

Jiang Li suddenly leaned closer. "So, do you have the contact info for Hongdou’s CEO?"

Xie Wan scratched her head in embarrassment. "I don’t."

Jiang Li blinked expectantly. "Can you get it for me?"

Xie Wan gulped. "I’ll do my best."

Jiang Li waved a hand dismissively. "Okay, you can go for now."

’They say you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. Since Xie Wan couldn’t do it, I’ll have my other assistants give it a try.’

’Of course, I can’t forget about Sheng Mingyue, who’s at the hospital taking care of Jing Shiyun.’

Three minutes later, Sheng Mingyue sent a phone number and a name.

Jiang Li excitedly slapped the bed. ’Sheng Mingyue really is the best!’

’She got done in a few minutes what others couldn’t.’

She cleared her throat, tapped the number, and made the call.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Xiao, the president of Hongdou?"

Xiao Bo: "Speaking. And you are?"

Jiang Li immediately introduced herself. "I’m the owner of Dream Maker Co., Ltd., Jiang Li."

’Dream Maker had been trending repeatedly lately. As someone in the short-video business, how could he not have heard of them?’

’He was just a little surprised and wondered where Jiang Li had gotten his contact information.’

Xiao Bo chuckled lightly. "What can I do for you, President Jiang?"

Jiang Li didn’t beat around the bush. "It’s nothing major, really. I’d just like to buy a stake in your company."

Buy a stake!!!

Xiao Bo asked, surprised, "Are you kidding me, President Jiang?"

Instead of answering, Jiang Li countered with a question of her own. "Is ten billion enough?"

Ten billion!

’Just to buy a stake?!’

’She really must have more money than she knows what to do with.’

’While it was true that Hongdou was earning a decent amount each day, they really did need more capital if they wanted to innovate.’

He took a deep breath. "President Jiang, may I ask why?"

Jiang Li laughed. "No particular reason. I’m simply interested in buying a stake. I was wondering if you’d give me the opportunity, Mr. Xiao?"

’Could she possibly admit it was just so she could satisfy her urge to spend money in livestreams?’

’If she really said that, Xiao Bo would probably think she was some kind of degenerate.’

’She was a married woman, after all.’

Before Xiao Bo could speak, Jiang Li clarified her position. "Of course, I would only be an investor. I won’t participate in any of the decision-making. You’ll continue to run things however you see fit."

’In that case, what was there to hesitate about?’

Xiao Bo let out a long breath. "It’s possible, but I can only give you 30% of the shares."

’He currently held 80% of the shares. If he gave her 30%, he’d still have 50%, remaining the majority shareholder.’

"No problem!" Jiang Li answered without a second thought. Her quick agreement surprised Xiao Bo; he had expected her to object.

’After all, that was ten billion for only 30% of the shares.’

Hearing Jiang Li agree, Xiao Bo immediately asked, "So, when are you free? We could sign the share transfer agreement."

"It’s not very convenient for me to travel right now. I’ll have my assistant sign it."

’As long as the documents were in order, it didn’t matter if she signed them in person or not.’
