After hanging up the phone, Mao Yourong quickly checked Ivanka's relevant information and confirmed her identity information.

Mao Yourong learned that Ivanka is an influential woman in both business and politics, and is married to Charles Kushner's son.

What’s even more interesting is that Ivanka’s father is actually that guy!

This discovery made Mao Yourong realize the importance of Zhao Zixuan's trip and the complex situation he might face.

After careful consideration, Mao Yourong immediately decided that she must go to Changdao in person and get as close to Zhao Zixuan as possible so as to provide support when necessary.

She knew she couldn't just break into a private party, but perhaps she could use other methods, such as contacting Ivanka's assistant or seeking help from a friend present, to pass the message to Zhao Zixuan.

On the way to Long Island, Mao Yourong kept thinking about possible strategies. She was very worried now because the situation was urgent and dangerous. Every step now had to be cautious, at least not to arouse Charles Kushner's suspicion.

She also realized that this incident was not only a threat to Zhao Zixuan personally, but also a major test for the future of TikTok. If she was not careful, she would lose everything.

When Mao Yourong arrived in Long Island, she found an acquaintance and managed to contact Ivanka's assistant. Through clever words and sincerity, she successfully got the assistant to agree to inform her about the party.

However, when Mao Yourong arrived at the party, her assistant told her that Zhao Zixuan and Ivanka had just left in a car.

Mao Yourong's heart sank as she realized that she was a step too late.

She hurriedly asked Ivanka's assistant about the details of Zhao Zixuan and Ivanka's departure, hoping to get some clues.

The assistant told her that Zhao Zixuan and Ivanka left together in a black car, but their exact destination was unclear.

Mao Yourong knew that time was running out and she had to find Zhao Zixuan as soon as possible. She thought quickly, considering where Zhao Zixuan and Ivanka might be going.

Given Ivanka's family background and political influence, she speculated that Zhao Zixuan and Ivanka may have gone to a location related to Charles Kushner, or a relatively private place to facilitate in-depth discussions.

Mao Yourong decided to try to contact Zhao Zixuan, but still no one answered the phone.

She decided to adopt another strategy and contacted several of Zhao Zixuan's friends in New York, asking them if they knew Zhao Zixuan's whereabouts or if they could help contact him.

Fortunately, Huang Yingying called at this time and said that Zhao Zixuan had gone to the S game viewing site.

Today is the first BO6 semi-final of the League of Legends S5 World Championship.

Mao Yourong was extremely anxious. On the way, she learned that Ivanka also accompanied Zhao Zixuan to watch the semi-finals of the S game.

The game was between HG.G and ROX, a highly anticipated matchup. Tickets were required to enter the game, but she didn't have any.

Mao Yourong acted quickly, she knew time was running out and she had to find a way to enter the venue as soon as possible.

She came to the vicinity of the competition venue and looked for scalpers everywhere, hoping to buy a ticket. After some efforts, she finally bought a high-priced ticket from a scalper. Although the price was expensive, she had no choice but to find Zhao Zixuan as soon as possible.

After entering the competition venue, Mao Yourong looked around for Zhao Zixuan. The venue was filled with people cheering enthusiastically for the team they supported.

Based on her understanding of Zhao Zixuan, Mao Yourong guessed that he might choose a seat with a good view to watch the game, so she began to look in these areas.

After some effort, Mao Yourong finally found Zhao Zixuan in a corner of the stands.

At this time, Zhao Zixuan was watching the game attentively, and Ivanka beside him was also watching the game intently.

This is a beautiful woman of German descent!

Mao Yourong couldn't help but stare at Ivanka for two seconds, then she gently patted Zhao Zixuan on the shoulder. Zhao Zixuan turned around and when he saw Mao Yourong, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Mao Yourong whispered, "Zixuan, come with me, I have something to tell you, it's urgent!"

Zhao Zixuan turned to look at Mao Yourong, and could tell from her expression how urgent the situation was.

He immediately stood up, motioned for Ivanka to wait, and then followed Mao Yourong out of the seating area.

The two walked to a relatively quiet corner, and Mao Yourong immediately said, "Zixuan, Charles Kushner has given us an ultimatum, and we must find a solution as soon as possible. He requires us to agree to their investment in Heguang Technology within two days, otherwise we will bear the consequences."

Her expression became more solemn, and she said seriously: "Also, this Ivanka is not simple. Do you know her identity? She is the daughter of that man..."

Zhao Zixuan seemed very calm when he heard this. It was obvious that he had known Ivanka's identity for a long time.

He said calmly: "I know that Ivanka has opened a personal account on TikTok and is quite popular. During this period, she has won a lot of votes for her father through her speeches. If nothing unexpected happens, her father has a great chance of winning the election."

Mao Yourong continued: "Charles Kushner's son is Ivanka's husband. This greedy Jew obviously hopes to exert pressure through Ivanka, but we can't give in. We need a strategy that can protect the independence of Heguang Technology and ensure the safety of you and me."

"I see. I think Ivanka is a pretty good person." Zhao Zixuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps we can try to communicate with Ivanka directly to see if she is willing to help us as a middleman. After all, she has a close relationship with Charles Kushner and may be able to relieve some of the pressure for us."

Mao Yourong frowned slightly and did not answer, but from her expression she seemed to be a little concerned about Ivanka.

Her first impression as a woman told her that Ivanka was no simple woman, and cooperating with her would be like courting death.

Zhao Zixuan didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Mao Yourong didn't say anything, he continued, "At present, Ivanka's father's election is an inevitable trend. If our company wants to survive in the United States, it must rely on a force. Ivanka is a good choice."

Mao Yourong retorted: "Are you so sure that Ivanka and her team can win? Their opponents' support rates are not low now. What if they lose?"

Zhao Zixuan smiled confidently. He understood Mao Yourong's concerns, but he was an experienced person and naturally knew who would win the election in the end.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, the support rate on the other side is also high, but according to the current political situation and opinion polls, Ivanka and her team are more likely to win. Even if they lose the election, it is not a bad thing to establish a good relationship with Ivanka."

Mao Yourong thought about it for a while, then said: "Okay, I understand what you mean. Since you have made up your mind, I won't say much, but there is one thing I must remind you of. The greed of the Jews is endless. You must be mentally prepared and have a response plan in advance."

Zhao Zixuan nodded, indicating that he understood Mao Yourong's concerns.

He said: "Don't worry, I know the strength of the Jewish chaebol. But we must also consider that establishing a good relationship with Ivanka and others may bring more opportunities and development space to Heguang Technology, both politically and commercially."

Mao Yourong agreed, "It's good that you know what's going on. We need a careful plan that ensures the independence of Heguang Technology while also taking into account the interests of the other party. We can propose that they participate in certain projects of Heguang Technology as non-controlling investors, so that they can get a return on their investment without interfering with the company's operations."

The two discussed it again, but this was not the place to talk after all, there were many people around and there were ears.

So, Zhao Zixuan took Mao Yourong back to the audience, and after sitting down next to Ivanka, he took the initiative to introduce the two to each other.

Zhao Zixuan and Mao Yourong returned to the audience, and Zhao Zixuan introduced Mao Yourong to Ivanka: "Ivanka, this is Mao Yourong, the director and CEO of TikTok, and a friend I personally trust very much."

Ivanka smiled and nodded, then reached out to shake hands with Mao Yourong. "I've heard of you before, but I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. Nice to meet you." Mao Yourong smiled and replied, "Ivanka, I'm glad to meet you too. You're well-known in the business world, and it's an honor for me to have an in-depth exchange with you today."

Ivanka smiled and said, "We do have a lot in common. To be honest, my father is very interested in the Heguang Technology Group, but he also hopes to reach an agreement that is beneficial to both parties. If you are willing, I can act as a middleman to help you communicate."

Zhao Zixuan and Mao Yourong exchanged glances. They knew that this was a turning point.

Mao Yourong realized that with Ivanka's help, perhaps a more peaceful solution could be found that would both protect the independence of Heguang Technology and ensure Zhao Zixuan's personal safety.

Did Zhao Zixuan take the initiative to contact Ivanka?
Mao Yourong suddenly thought of a possibility. When she looked at Zhao Zixuan, her eyes became much more surprised, and her face was full of intriguing and deep doubts.

What secrets are hidden in this man?
It’s really bottomless!
Zhao Zixuan noticed the change in Mao Yourong's eyes and smiled slightly, as if he understood the doubts in her heart.

Zhao Zixuan said to Ivanka, "Ivanka, we are very grateful for your proposal. I personally support and think highly of your father. If there is anything you need my help with, please let me know and I will definitely help you."

Ivanka smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, thank you very much for your support. I believe we can find opportunities for cooperation in many areas. As for the help you mentioned, we will consider it."

Mao Yourong looked at the two men chatting and laughing in disbelief. Wasn't this their first day meeting? Why did they look so familiar?
Mao Yourong's doubts did not escape Zhao Zixuan's eyes. He smiled gently, as if he understood the doubts in her heart.

He gave Mao Yourong a comforting look, signaling her to stay calm.

Ivanka continued: "The most important thing now is the issue of cooperation. As Mr. Zhao said, it is a feasible option for us to participate in some projects of Heguang Technology Group as a non-controlling investor."

"I think TikTok is great, and my father's requirements are not high. A 10% stake is enough. I believe that through this cooperation model, we can get a return on investment while not interfering with the company's operations."

You call this not demanding?
It's like a lion opening its mouth!
Zhao Zixuan cursed in his heart but kept a calm expression on his face.

Zhao Zixuan said: "Ivanka, your proposal is very interesting. However, we need to think carefully about the shareholding ratio. Ten percent of the shares is a relatively large number, and we need to ensure that this will not affect the company's independence and operational freedom."

Ivanka nodded and said, "I understand your concerns. To show my sincerity, I am willing to exchange 19% of the shares of the NBA team Golden State Warriors. The current market value of the Golden State Warriors is billion US dollars, so % of the shares is not low."

Mao Yourong interrupted and said, “Is $19 billion a lot? This year, TikTok’s registered users have exceeded 3 million, and are still growing rapidly. How can a mere NBA team compare to that?”

After hearing this, Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly. He knew that Mao Yourong was protecting the interests of the company, but he also realized that this direct comparison might not make the negotiations go more smoothly.

He said: "What you mean is that TikTok's growth potential is very large, and we want to ensure that the long-term development of the company is not affected."

Then, Zhao Zixuan turned to Ivanka and said, “Ivanka, we thank you very much for your proposal. Indeed, the shares of the Golden State Warriors are an attractive proposal, but we also need to consider whether this is in the best interests of the company. We need to ensure that TikTok’s independence and operational freedom are not affected.”

After hearing this, Ivanka nodded and expressed her understanding: "I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I am not very interested in TikTok. I just don't want my father to be controlled by others in terms of public opinion and media at a critical juncture of the election."

Hearing this, Zhao Zixuan and Mao Yourong exchanged glances, and then nodded at the same time, understanding each other.

Their idea is simple: as long as the other party does not get involved in the control of TikTok, it is not impossible to discuss a little bit of interest for win-win cooperation.

Just when Zhao Zixuan was about to agree to Ivanka's proposal, a wonderful team battle suddenly broke out in the game on the big screen. HG.G and ROX fought until the 40th minute of the game. Both sides had six pieces of equipment, and ten players performed a wonderful operation that was enough to go down in history.

As the commentator's excited voice sounded, the situation on the field became more and more intense. HG.G successfully defeated two core outputs of ROX in a key team battle, and then quickly advanced, trying to take down the opponent's base in one fell swoop.

However, ROX put up a strong resistance, managing to delay HG.G's offensive and successfully counterattack, killing HG.G's mid laner Godv.

At this point, the outcome of the game was still unclear. HG.G's players quickly adjusted their tactics, using their remaining advantageous resources to reorganize their attack. After a thrilling duel, HG.G's mid laner successfully cut off ROX's key double C heroes with his outstanding personal skills and precise operations, breaking the opponent's defense.

HG.G took advantage of the victory and pushed the tower to the enemy, eventually destroying ROX's main base and winning the game. The audience burst into warm applause and cheers, applauding HG.G's wonderful performance.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao. Your team has made it to the finals again. The defending champions are indeed very strong."

Zhao Zixuan was quite surprised by Ivanka's blessings.

Because he didn't expect that this woman would pay so much attention to such an unpopular game.

Yes, in the United States, "League of Legends" is an unpopular game that almost no one cares about.

Zhao Zixuan responded to Ivanka's congratulations with a smile: "Thank you, Ivanka. Indeed, it means a lot to us to be able to enter the finals again. It seems that you also know a lot about e-sports."

Ivanka smiled and said, "Although I don't play games, I understand its influence. E-sports has become an important cultural phenomenon, especially among young people. It connects players from all over the world and showcases team spirit and individual talent."

Zhao Zixuan nodded in agreement: "You are right. E-sports is not just a game, it is also a competitive sport that can inspire people to pursue excellence and show the importance of teamwork."

Mao Yourong also joined the conversation: "After listening to what you said, I suddenly became quite interested in this game."

Ivanka smiled and said, "I look forward to seeing HG.G's performance in the finals. Now, let's get back to our previous discussion. We can continue to explore the cooperation plan for TikTok in depth."

Zhao Zixuan raised his eyebrows and said, "No need, I agree with the cooperation plan you proposed."

After hearing this, Ivanka showed a hint of surprise on her face, and then turned to smile: "Mr. Zhao, I am very glad that you can accept this proposal. I believe this will be a win-win situation."

Mao Yourong frowned slightly and opened his mouth to say something, but under the guidance of Zhao Zixuan's eyes, he ended up saying nothing.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhao Zixuan and Ivanka held hands tightly, as if announcing the beginning of their cooperation.

This handshake not only symbolizes the trust and consensus between the two parties, but also heralds a new chapter for TikTok in the US market.

Next, the three continued to discuss the specific details. They agreed to arrange a formal meeting in the near future to refine the terms of the cooperation agreement and ensure that all details are in the interests of both parties.

A week later, Zhao Zixuan paid 10 percent of TikTok in exchange for 30 percent of the Golden State Warriors.

This feat not only marked his official entry into the NBA, the world's top sports league, but also made him the first Chinese owner to own a controlling stake in an NBA team.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly topped the hot topic lists of TikTok, Douyin APP, and Teana APP. The two major platforms competed to push the news, attracting the attention of users around the world.

Zhao Zixuan's name was like a tornado passing through, quickly causing a stir on major media platforms at home and abroad. The number of fans of his personal social account on the Tianlai APP increased at an astonishing rate, exceeding 30 million fans in a short period of time, and quickly becoming one of the top stars.

Afterwards, Zhao Zixuan was affectionately hailed by many netizens as a new generation of "national idol", on par with the well-known young entrepreneur Principal Wang. People even jokingly called him "Principal leads the way in the north, Zixuan spreads his wings in the south", jointly leading the "dreams of 900 million girls" in the new era. (End of this chapter)
