278 Accompanying a Ruler Is Like Accompanying a Tiger!

Although Ma Liqun himself was very optimistic about the market reception of “Above the Crimson Clouds”, in the end, it was still a niche work. No one dared to guarantee that the market reception would be good.

“Three hundred million!” Ma Liqun directly asked for 300 million. Then, he chuckled and said, “To your big boss, 300 million shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Three hundred million was not a lot! However, he was clearly asking for an exorbitant price!

“Director Ma, 300 million yuan is indeed not a lot, but I’m sure you know that although ‘Above the Crimson Clouds’ is not bad, it’s too niche. I’m afraid that even if the box office sales are huge, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get more than 200 million yuan, right?”

Three hundred million was not a lot, but Ma Ke naturally would not give this price!

Ma Ke hit the nail on the head. Chairman Ma hesitated for a moment. “Why don’t I give in a little? I’ll ask for 280 million!”

Did he ask for 280 million yuan? It looked like it had decreased by 20 million yuan, but in fact, 20 million yuan was not comparable to a contract worth hundreds of millions!

“No, I’ll give you 200 million yuan. I won’t give you a single cent more!” Ma Ke said. Naturally, Ma Liqun was not too happy.

“However, 200 million… is too low. We might as well split the revenue equally!”

Ma Liqun was a businessman. Profit was the most important to him. Although 200 million yuan was not a small sum, he would definitely not be satisfied.

“Director Chen said that we must get the ownership rights of ‘Above the Crimson Clouds’. Yes, we have to be unscrupulous!” Ma Ke snorted. “So, you have to think carefully!”

If he agreed to 200 million yuan, he would be able to earn it! If he did not agree, the issue would not be something that could be resolved with money!

Ma Liqun was also a human and had his own family. He also knew what Ma Ke meant by that. Wasn’t this clearly threatening him?

However, what could he do? Although he was currently in the limelight and had someone backing him, could he defeat Sacred Heaven? Clearly, it was impossible!

The Flying Fish Live-Streaming Platform was so big. However, wasn’t Sacred Heaven able to buy it just like that?

Jiangbei was so big, but they were still trampled under Chen Yun’s feet. The Three Spirits Financial Group and the Park Corporation were big enough, but they were still beaten out of Jiangbei by Chen Yun. Who dared to provoke Sacred Heaven and Chen Yun now?

He could still calculate this amount. He would obtain 200 million. To be honest, his treatment was much better than the original CEO of Flying Fish Live-Streaming Platform!

“I… I’ll think about it…” He was still hesitating when Ma Ke said coldly, “Don’t think about it. Just say it!”

It was just a question. Ma Ke also observed that Ma Liqun was already afraid, so he decided to get it done in one go. He wanted to have the momentum in this negotiation!

Upon hearing Ma Ke’s words, Ma Liqun was stunned for a few seconds. His expression was not good. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, CEO Ma, we’ll do as you say! In the future, you have to take better care of us!”

Ma Liqun was not stupid. On the contrary, he was estimating the pros and cons.

Sacred Heaven was destined to rise up. If they could hitch a ride on Sacred Heaven, NTC Entertainment might become a big shot in the industry.

“That’s easy. Chairman Ma will understand how wise today’s choice is in the future!” Ma Ke laughed. With 200 million yuan, he would obtain all the copyrights of “Above the Crimson Clouds”. The mission was completed!

As for taking care of NTC Entertainment, to be honest, it was really a piece of cake!

Meanwhile, the matter was settled in less than ten minutes. It could be said to be extremely fast!

“Hello, Director Chen, it’s settled! Yes, I spent 200 million yuan!” Ma Ke didn’t hesitate and called Chen Yun.

“Yes, I understand. It’s been hard on you! It’s getting late. You haven’t gotten off work yet, right? Go back and rest!” Chen Yun smiled. “You’re Sacred Heaven’s spiritual pillar. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will I look for?”

“Thank you, Director Chen… I’m not tired!” Ma Ke did not expect Chen Yun to say such caring words. He was especially touched and did not know what to say for a moment.

“Alright, don’t force yourself. You can put your career aside, but your body is yours!” Chen Yun smiled. “By the way, I didn’t give you the half-year award last time. Do you have some complaints?”

If it were anyone else, they would definitely have complaints, but Ma Ke would not! He hoped that Sacred Heaven could develop better than anyone else. As for money, he did not care.

However, when he heard Chen Yun say this, Ma Ke was still shocked. He really did not understand the meaning of Chen Yun’s words.

Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. If he was not careful, he would be crushed to pieces!

“No, no, no. How could I dare to complain about Director Chen?!”

Ma Ke was a little fearful and his voice was trembling. He no longer had the aura from when he was negotiating with Ma Liqun.

“Haha, you don’t have to be afraid. I just thought of it! How about this? You’re also the CEO of Sacred Heaven. I’ll transfer 5% of the shares to you, but you have to remember that what I give you is yours. You can’t snatch what I didn’t give you!” There was still some humor the first half of Chen Yun’s sentence, but the second half of his sentence changed, making him seem especially strict.

No matter what, he could not mistreat his subordinates. However, he could not spoil them blindly. As the saying went, he had to give them both the stick and the carrot. Only then would they remember who was the master.

Five percent of Sacred Heaven’s shares! According to the current market value, that was worth billions! Moreover, according to this trend, it was probably not impossible to reach tens of billions!

However, to be honest, Ma Ke was not as happy as he had imagined!

Chen Yun’s words kept lingering in his mind. Only then did he feel that the big boss, who he had always thought was foolish and rich, was actually so terrifying!

However, speaking of which, he felt that there was nothing bad about this.

First, he was already the CEO. It could be said that as long as Chen Yun did not interfere, he was the greatest in Sacred Heaven! Secondly, he knew very well how capable he was. If Chen Yun did not exist in Sacred Heaven, he would be nothing!

He could only do as much as he was capable of! This was Ma Ke’s warning to himself, and also the basic support for him to reach this step!

“Director Chen, I really can’t repay you for treating me so well… Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make Sacred Heaven the number one corporation in the country!” Ma Ke was actually very touched. Chen Yun treated him like how Bo Le1 treated horses!

As the saying went, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring! He had already silently sworn in his heart that he would sell himself to Chen Yun in the future!

When Chen Yun heard Ma Ke’s words, he could not help but smile. “Do your best. With me around, getting first place in the country is basic! We should be pursuing the first place in the world!”

Chen Yun was not bragging. In any case, Sacred Heaven’s momentum was much stronger than Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba back then!

“Yes! With Director Chen around, this day will come!” Ma Ke patted his chest and said.

Meanwhile, Chen Yun hung up the phone and turned to look at Chen Mengmeng. Chen Mengmeng also looked at him. She had heard what Chen Yun had said just now.

However, she was most concerned about whether she could act in “Above the Crimson Clouds”… As a girl, she didn’t know anything else. Anyway, with her brother around, she didn’t have to worry about anything else.
