"Zhang Menglong, we've been apart for less than an hour, and you've already made such big news?" It wasn't long before Zhang Menglong received a call from Lu Yiyao.
"I did it to protect you!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I certainly don't want the private life of my future girlfriend to be monitored every day by everyone!"
"Have you no shame, who agreed to be your girlfriend in the future?" Lu Yiyao said, "Ah, Qianqian, go away, don't eavesdrop on my conversation!"
"Hahaha, it sounds like your dorm room is quite lively tonight!" Zhang Menglong heard the chatter of a group of girls.
"That's all because of you!" Lu Yiyao said angrily, "You could have just come to see me, but you had to make such a big scene, as if you were worried the whole world wouldn't find out about it."
"I'm worried about you getting into trouble," Zhang Menglong said, "By the way, when could you help me invite your roommates out for a meal? I'll bribe them so the next time we go on a date, they won't lock you out!"
"Keep dreaming!"
"Wait a minute, you don't have the final say!" Suddenly, a wave of protest erupted from the other end of the phone, "Handsome Zhang! We heard what you said!"
"Are you Guo Yuqian?" Zhang Menglong remembered that one of Lu Yiyao's roommates seemed to have that name.
"Yes, Handsome Zhang, you have a great memory!" Guo Yuqian snatched the phone from Lu Yiyao, "We'll give you a chance to treat us to a meal on Saturday night. Maybe we'll be so pleased that instead of just not locking Yiyi out, we might even get her drunk and deliver her to your bed!"
"Hahaha! Exactly, exactly!" Several other voices piped up on the phone, "We'd even help you steal household registration books if you want!"
"You guys, ah! I'm going to kill you!"
"Holy shit! Lu Yiyao, you dare to kick us? Just because you have long legs, you think you're something special?"
"Having long legs is being special!"
"Ah! Qianqian don't mess around!"
"Handsome Zhang, some people have really good figures, so soft!"
"Qianqian, you hooligan!"
"Tear..." Zhang Menglong almost had an image in his head; he originally thought that only boys' dorms would have such incidents, but the girls' dorm seemed even messier!
"All right then, it's a deal. Saturday, I'll take you all out for a meal. Don't forget to bring a bag, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry all the things I'll use to bribe you!"
"Haha! Definitely, definitely!"
"Serious or not, won't you know in a bit?" Zhang Menglong said with a laugh. Although he didn't know how Hong Yi was going to purchase shares of Weibo, he believed that whatever method she used, she would definitely succeed.
...
Less than an hour later, Hong Yi's call came through.
"Mr. Zhang, we have now completed the acquisition of 85.25% of the shares, and this portion is all in the hands of people you can fully trust."
"Damn, that fast?" Zhang Menglong didn't know much about this stuff, but with 85.25% of the shares, Weibo was practically under his say-so, as those shareholders represented his will, "What about the rest?"
"The rest is with a European venture capital firm called Camorra. But those guys are slick. We acquired the 85.25% of the shares at a mere 15% premium over the market price, but even with a 30% stock premium offered to Camorra, they're not willing to sell. Obviously, they're looking to make a killing."
"There are always some unsatisfied people in this world." Although Zhang Menglong didn't understand the concept of a 30% premium purchase price, the fact that other shares were acquired with only a 15% premium indicated that this percentage wasn't insignificant.
"Mr. Zhang, the head of Camorra Venture Capital now wishes to speak with you. If you are willing, I will transfer the call to you."
"Transfer it over. I'd like to hear just how greedy these Russians can be."
After a burst of dial tone, a slick middle-aged man's voice soon came through.
"Hellow, is that Mr. Zhang speaking?"
"Don't speak English to me," said Zhang Menglong, "Can you speak Chinese? If not, piss off!"
Taking down a small venture capital firm, Zhang Menglong might not know how to go about it, but he believed that with the resources he had, there were ten thousand ways to solve this.
"Zhang... Mr. Zhang, I am Chavi, the head of Camorra Ventures."
"What? Trashy Chavi? Never mind, it's not important. I want to buy the rest of your Weibo shares, name your price."
"Mr. Zhang is straightforward," came a laugh from the other end of the phone, "I just heard that aside from our shares, the rest has already changed hands not too long ago; it must be through someone under Mr. Zhang, right?"
"Hm?"
"I believe Mr. Zhang isn't short of money. I'm a businessman, naturally, I aim for higher profits. For this part of the shares, I am willing to sell them to you at a 100% premium over the stock price."
"Doubled?" Zhang Menglong thought this Russian would at most increase to around 50%, but he couldn't believe his appetite was so big.
"Trashy Chavi, right? I've got money, but you'd better not take me for a fool! 100%? You must be dreaming, buddy!"
