Chapter 0906: Thoughts After Shock

Zhao Fusheng's impression of the Wang brothers was neither good nor bad. In his view, they were pure businessmen, with no sense of right or wrong; their starting point for doing things was whether it aligned with their own interests.

Now that he had placed the interests before them, Zhao Fusheng was curious about how the Wang brothers would choose.

After the meal, Zhao Fusheng returned to the set to continue filming the commercial, while Wang Zhonglei left and went back to Huayi Brothers headquarters.

"Is my brother in?"

Wang Zhonglei went straight upstairs, arrived at his brother's office, asked the assistant, and upon receiving an affirmative answer, walked in.

"Why are you here?" Wang Zhongjun was reading a briefing. Hearing someone push the door open, he looked up and saw Wang Zhonglei, frowning: "Aren't you supposed to be overseeing the Mercedes-Benz ad?"

He knew his younger brother's character all too well. Although he was past thirty, his personality remained flighty and unrestrained, like a child who never grew up.

Or more precisely, Wang Zhonglei was more of a player.

But regardless, he was his own brother. Even knowing his various flaws, Wang Zhongjun could do nothing but let him be.

"I went, and I met Zhao Fusheng." Wang Zhonglei smiled, unceremoniously poured himself a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, and looked at his brother: "Brother, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Wang Zhongjun frowned and glanced at his brother: "If it's about promoting someone, forget it. You know we've been having trouble with Wang Jinghua lately, and I don't want any messy rumors spreading outside."

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei's face flushed slightly, showing rare embarrassment. After all, his brother's words were not unfounded; he had indeed done many absurd things before to chase actresses.

It's often said that one cannot be young and not romantic, but the problem was that Wang Zhonglei had passed that age. In Wang Zhongjun's words, playing around was fine, but being led by the nose was too foolish.

"Go ahead, what is it?" Wang Zhongjun scolded his brother but didn't say more, instead asking about the matter at hand.

As the eldest brother, he knew his younger brother too well. The saying "no visit without a purpose" perfectly described Wang Zhonglei; he never came to the office without reason, because he disliked being lectured.

Yet today he came running to him, so there must be something.

"Nothing much, it's like this..." Wang Zhonglei then recounted the content of his conversation with Zhao Fusheng to Wang Zhongjun, finally saying: "I don't know what's going on; Zhao Fusheng just told me to talk with you."

The expression on Wang Zhongjun's face shifted, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking, but his heart was far from calm.

An investment of five million was now worth fifty million!

Even for the well-traveled Wang Zhongjun, this was a huge shock.

If he didn't know that Zhao Fusheng never spoke idly, he would have suspected his brother had been deceived.

"Shengda Technology Company, why does it sound so familiar?" After a long while, Wang Zhongjun looked up at Wang Zhonglei and said: "Do this: send someone to investigate this company and find out what's going on."

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. The ancestors' words held true. In Wang Zhongjun's mind, no matter how eloquently Zhao Fusheng spoke or what others said about the matter, once the company's information was before him, everything would become clear.

Wang Zhonglei generally obeyed his brother's words. He knew his own strengths and weaknesses; in social networking, he might be better than his brother, but in business, without his brother's guidance, he wouldn't have his current wealth.

So after hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, Wang Zhonglei didn't bring up the matter again but turned around to arrange for someone to investigate Shengda Technology.

Two days later, the Wang brothers sat together with strange expressions.

"Is this material real?"

Wang Zhongjun blinked, somewhat pained, and asked his brother.

Smiling bitterly, Wang Zhonglei nodded: "To be honest, when I saw this, I couldn't believe it either. I sent someone to inquire further, and the news from Shanghai confirmed it. This company is indeed in this situation."

He paused, then added with a hint of self-mockery: "To be fair, I have to say that Zhao Fusheng and that guy Chen Tianqiao both have guts, betting the entire company's fate on a foreign game, and they actually won the bet!"

"Yes, they won the bet." Wang Zhongjun nodded and murmured: "Doing business is sometimes like gambling."

As the helmsman of a company, Wang Zhongjun understood better than anyone what Chen Tianqiao felt when making that decision. He was just curious why Zhao Fusheng had so much confidence in that company that he dared to inject more capital at that time.

"So what do we do?"

Seeing his brother lost in thought, Wang Zhonglei hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

"Heh, what else can we do? Invite him over, let's talk." Wang Zhongjun smiled and said, then shook his head: "No, I'll go find him instead."

The dish had been served; whether to pick up the chopsticks was now their problem.

Wang Zhonglei was no fool. Zhao Fusheng placing such a delicious dish before them clearly had an agenda. In other words, if Huayi Brothers wanted to taste this dish, they would have to pay a price that satisfied Zhao Fusheng; otherwise, the possibility of seeing but not eating was not out of the question.

...

...

"Are you so sure the Wang brothers will take the bait?"

Zheng Yao looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise. She was supposed to have dinner with a client today but was called over by Zhao Fusheng's phone call.

Private cuisine restaurants were just becoming popular in the capital at this time. The place Wang Zhonglei and Zhao Fusheng had agreed on was a famous one.

Only the Wang brothers had the connections to book a spot in advance.

When Zhao Fusheng and Zheng Yao arrived at the restaurant, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei had not yet arrived. After being told by Zhao Fusheng that they were meeting the Wang brothers, Zheng Yao pressed him for a long time before Zhao Fusheng revealed his thoughts.

Once Zhao Fusheng's idea was out, Zheng Yao was completely dumbfounded. She couldn't figure out what Zhao Fusheng was trying to do.
