Chapter 48: 48 Successful Acquisition of the Guild



“I appreciate Mr. Xu Yang’s trust and affirmation,” Xiao Dongsheng said, “Mr. Xu, you’ve invited me to remain as the president of the guild, for which I am truly grateful. However, I wonder what terms you’re offering?”

Although Xu Yang’s appreciation excited him.

But to stay on, it all depended on the remuneration Xu Yang was offering.

If the offer met his expectations, he would naturally stay.

If it didn’t, he would naturally leave.

Even though he had feelings for Fengcai Guild, he had a wife and children to support; he couldn’t ignore them just for sentiment.

“A monthly salary of fifty thousand, and twenty percent of the shares, but these twenty percent shares are only valid while you are employed by the company. If you leave the company, they will automatically become void. What do you think?” Xu Yang made his offer.

“What!” Xiao Dongsheng was stunned, almost doubting his ears.

“What, you’re not satisfied with this offer?” Xu Yang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He had done his homework; a monthly salary of fifty thousand for a small guild’s president was definitely a high salary.

The key was offering Xiao Dongsheng twenty percent of the guild’s shares, something unprecedented.

This offer was made to ensure Xiao Dongsheng’s loyalty.

If this couldn’t satisfy Xiao Dongsheng, then Xu Yang would have to consider whether to keep him or not.

Although the system had said that it was Xiao Dongsheng’s management that made Fengcai Guild the largest on Douyin.

That was before he had gotten involved.

With a list of future internet celebrities provided by the system, signing those celebrities to the guild would ensure its development wouldn’t falter.

And hiring a capable president wouldn’t be difficult.

“Not at all,” Xiao Dongsheng hastily shook his head, “Mr. Xu, the terms you’ve offered are too generous, they’ve taken me by surprise. I never expected to receive such a high salary, and most importantly, you’re willing to give me twenty percent of the shares, which is unbelievable.”

“I see,” Xu Yang realized, “So you accept?”

Xiao Dongsheng nodded repeatedly: “Accept, of course I accept. With such great terms, I’d be a fool not to. You’re offering me twenty percent of the shares, I’m effectively a shareholder of the guild. Rest assured, I’ll definitely manage the guild well. Actually, I have feelings for the guild too; after all, I founded it. With such favorable terms from you, I will work hard to manage the guild well and repay your recognition.”

Xu Yang smiled faintly: “I believe in you, and I’m confident that under your leadership, Fengcai Guild will become Douyin’s top guild.”

What followed was the contract signing.

Xu Yang and Xiao Dongsheng went back to the company, which was a ten-minute walk from the Old Tree Café.

Xu Yang made a call to Zhao Yuxin’s cousin Zhao Yuqing, the accountant, to audit Fengcai Guild’s finances.

Through Zhao Yuqing, he also brought in a lawyer to draft the acquisition contract.

By five in the afternoon, both parties had signed the contract.

Xu Yang immediately transferred five million to Xiao Dongsheng.

From there on, Xu Yang became the owner of Fengcai Guild, holding eighty percent of the shares.

Xiao Dongsheng was both a shareholder and the president of the Guild, holding twenty percent of the shares.

After signing the contract, Xu Yang intended to invite Zhao Yuqing for a meal, but Zhao Yuqing already had plans, so it didn’t happen. After a brief exchange of words, Zhao Yuqing left.

In the meantime, Xu Yang learned about the situation of Fengcai Guild.

He had only gathered some information about Fengcai Guild the day before, which was not comprehensive.

“`

Some matters needed to be understood from Xiao Dongsheng.

The Fengcai Guild had sixteen streamers, among which three had over a million fans, five had from five hundred thousand to a million fans, and the remaining eight streamers had fewer than five hundred thousand fans each.

Additionally, there were staff from various departments, totaling eight people.

In other words, adding up all the members of the guild, including Xiao Dongsheng the chairman, there were twenty-five people in total.

Xu Yang had Xiao Dongsheng gather all the staff for a meeting in the conference room.

After Xiao Dongsheng introduced Xu Yang, everyone knew that Xu Yang was the new boss.

Learning that Xiao Dongsheng would continue as chairman, they were all very happy.

After all, they had deep affection for Xiao Dongsheng. A big reason they continued to stay with the guild through tough times was because of him.

Xu Yang only made two points, the first was that everyone would eat dinner together that evening, and the second was a thirty percent salary increase for all staff.

These two points won rounds of cheers from the staff.

The dinner was secondary, but a thirty percent pay raise was truly exciting.

Initially, they had thought that it would be good enough if the new boss didn’t cut salaries, and they had been content with the idea of just maintaining the status quo.

Unexpectedly, the new boss was so generous as to give an immediate thirty percent raise.

That was definitely a grand gesture.

It also made everyone realize Xu Yang’s generosity and financial strength.

Working for a boss like that definitely had a promising future.

During the dinner, the atmosphere was quite good, and people frequently toasted Xu Yang.

After drinking a fair amount, everyone dispersed.

Originally, Xu Yang had called Zhao Yuxin to explain the situation and invited her to join the dinner, planning to introduce her to everyone.

Zhao Yuxin said it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to go, so she didn’t attend. Instead, she went to her father’s restaurant for dinner.

Xu Yang found a designated driver to drive him home.

The driver hesitated upon seeing it was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Xu Yang promised that it was okay to drive it, even if it got bumped, the driver wouldn’t have to pay for any damages, which made the driver agree.

When he got home, Zhao Yuxin had just returned as well. Seeing Xu Yang reeking of alcohol, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for him, “Why did you have to drink so much?”

Xu Yang said, “Today was the first company I’ve invested in. I was feeling happy, so I drank a bit more. Plus, the staff were so enthusiastic that it felt inappropriate to not drink.”

Zhao Yuxin said, “You, you still haven’t transitioned into your new role. You’re the boss. You don’t need to drink so much when employees toast to you—just a nod would be enough.”

Xu Yang suddenly realized, “Oh right, how did I forget about that? I didn’t think about it at the time, no experience. I’ll pay attention to that in the future.”

At the time, he truly hadn’t realized that.

Whenever staff came to toast him, he drank.

“I think it’s not that you didn’t realize it, but that you couldn’t control yourself when the pretty female streamers toasted you,” said Zhao Yuxin with a smile on her face and a dangerous glint in her eyes.

“How could that be possible!” Xu Yang saw Zhao Yuxin’s smile and the look in her eyes, and he sobered up a great deal. He took her into his arms, “Those female streamers aren’t as pretty as you. How could I possibly lose control?”

Zhao Yuxin pouted, “So you’re saying, if there was someone prettier than me, then you couldn’t control yourself?”
