"I am willing to sell you five points of shares in exchange for your absolute support."

Hong Shengcheng gritted his teeth and gestured with his hand.

"Not enough, not as much as iHQ gives."

Chen Chen's light words were like a hammer that completely crushed Hong Shengcheng.

Yes, if Hong can contact Chen Chen, then iHQ can certainly contact him too. Why should we assume that Chen Chen will definitely be on our side?

Previously, iHQ made concessions because of Chen Chen because they were not clear about Chen Chen’s attitude. But after such a long time, even a fool can see that Chen Chen is a neutral character who doesn’t care about anything!

A neutral role means that you can be won over, so why would iHQ leave such a good person alone and not give him to you to say hello? They are not fools!
"You mean, I'm done?"

Hong Seung-sung's lips trembled when he asked this question.

"I didn't say that. I just told you that you need to raise the price." Chen Chen's tone was full of sincerity. "If I compare iHQ with President Hong, I still prefer President Hong. He is a businessman, and you are a real president who is willing to lead the company forward."

This is Chen Chen's true heart. Even if iHQ would allow him to earn more, what he wants is always Cube Entertainment with Boss Hong.

"The problem is that I can never raise the price higher than iHQ. They have too much stuff." Hong Shengcheng seemed to have given up on himself. "They have more than half, but I don't even have a quarter."

"I've already said that I like President Hong more, so how could I not give you special treatment?" Chen Chen smiled and said gently, "As long as you offer a price that I think is good, I will no longer accept other offers and stand on your side."

“How many chances do I have to make an offer?”

Hong Shengcheng suddenly felt hopeful and asked through gritted teeth.

"Unlimited times." Chen Chen responded seriously, "Before the shareholders' meeting."

"Yeah, okay." Hong Shengcheng no longer had the energy to maintain his composure. He held Chen Chen's hand and shook it twice. "I need to think about it carefully. Let's contact each other next time."

"it is good."

Chen Chen said nothing, nodded, and left.

……

If Hong Shengcheng wants Chen Chen to appear at the shareholders' meeting as his backer, he must give up part of the shares of Cube Entertainment.

Although the number of shares does not necessarily represent the amount of say one has, if the shares are too few, one will definitely have no say.

Currently, Chen Chen only has the five points that he initially exchanged for the soy sauce bottle shares from Hong Shengcheng. His say is not very high, at least not enough to become a strong backing.

So Hong Shengcheng had to give some more shares to Chen Chen, even though this was the only thing that could impress Chen Chen.

For Chen Chen, as long as he can get the shares in Boss Hong's hands, he will make a profit, because iHQ's shares will be sold to the outside sooner or later, and he cannot avoid it.

Ever since iHQ got involved with SK Group, it has been going downhill for unknown reasons and it seems like it cannot be cured.

SK will naturally not do anything to help iHQ, and iHQ has almost run out of options after four or five years and can only survive.

The purpose of their actions was very clear, they just wanted to take over Cube Entertainment to give themselves a new lease of life. After taking it over, they would split up the company and sell it to supplement themselves, so they were willing to give Chen Chen a large share in exchange for him, who seemed to be the biggest stumbling block, to remain neutral or stand on their side.

Anyway, the stock price will fall and the shares will become less and less valuable, so just give a little. The final result is what it is now. Both sides want to win over Chen Chen and are willing to give him a satisfactory price. Chen can reap a lot of benefits just by standing still.

It’s quite magical to think about it, that Chen Chen has come this far.

……

"What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?"

After opening the door and returning home, Chen Chen, who was changing his shoes with his head down, heard the voice he wanted to hear most.

"I encountered a good thing at work." Chen Chen walked up quickly and took his girlfriend into his arms. "I thought it would be perfect if I could see you again today, but I didn't expect that I would actually see you."

"I don't have any music promotion schedule tomorrow, so I came to see you." Bae Joo Hyun was very frank, "I haven't seen you for a week, and I miss you very much."

"Got it." Chen Chen reached out and tapped her nose, then took her to sit on the sofa. "How do you feel about the squad? Are you happy?"

"Happy, but more nervous." Bae Joo Hyun gave an answer that Chen Chen did not expect. "No matter what I do normally, all the members are with me. Now that only Seulgi is by my side, I feel less confident."

"Yes, you can't see your fans." Chen Chen could understand her to some extent. "It would be better if you could see the support of your fans. Unfortunately, the current epidemic situation won't allow you to see your fans."

"Let's not talk about me." Pei Zhuxuan suddenly kissed Chen Chen on the face, "Let's talk about you, what are you happy about?"

"Me"

Chen Chen told her about the situation he might face, and they shared their joy together.

"What are you going to do?"

Bae Joo-hyun suddenly became a little nervous.

"If I want to maximize my profits, I should accept iHQ's offer, because no matter how much Boss Hong offers, he will never be able to outbid them. And getting rid of Boss Hong will make it easier for C Headquarters to enter the market later."

"But I still say that I like Boss Hong more than iHQ, so as long as Boss Hong increases the price a little, I will stand on his side without hesitation."

"I don't want to see the once famous Cube Entertainment disappear. The entertainment industry will be more exciting if such a company exists."

"Sometimes we can't just look at the benefits, right?" Chen Chen smiled and pulled his girlfriend into his arms. "It feels good to be a good person and do good things."

"Well, that's how it should be." Bae Joo Hyun breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her opinion without reservation, "If you choose to stand with iHQ, it would be too much. It's too pitiful for you to bully President Hong who loves Cube Entertainment the most with a big company!"

"But, President Hong has to be willing to pay the price." Chen Chen added, "If he holds on to his shares and refuses to let go, I can't help him. And I don't want to help a boss who has gone crazy and has an obsession."

"Then I hope that Boss Hong will make the right choice!" Pei Zhuxuan suddenly became carefree again, "No matter what, my dear boyfriend has made the most correct and righteous choice. I only care about this!"

"Oh, I'm so happy. Today I can rest and see you. I can also see that my Chen Chen's heart is still pure as it was at the beginning!" Pei Zhuxuan was full of motivation and stood up immediately, "I'll cook. Let's make something delicious to celebrate!"

"Go ahead." Chen Chen waved his hand, then fell sideways on the sofa, "I'll think about how to get through this difficult time."

It's very difficult. No matter what, our disadvantage is real and the opponent is strong.
