Mr. Wei nodded. "Mr Lu, please."
Lu Jinnian took a sip of his coffee, and leisurely, he placed the cup back down on the plate with a soft crisp sound . In the quiet lounge area, the sound was unusually sharp. "I would like the main leadâs company to be called Wei Enterprise."
Mr. Weiâs eyes brightened instantly.
Wei Enterprise... That would be an enticing advertisement for his company.
Lu Jinnian continued, "I would also change the main leadâs surname to Wei."
Mr. Wei became visibly excited.
With such a background, Wei Enterpriseâs name would have a stronger influence on the audienceâs mind, and this would definitely be beneficial to Wei Enterpriseâs jewelry.
This was definitely an enticing condition.
But what was the price...
"I have no complaints about the conditions you are offering, but I would like to know, whatâs the minimum price youâre asking for? If itâs within the capability of the company, we can sign the contract now, if not, I would have to discuss this with the board."
Lu Jinnian remained silent, raising one finger up.
"One billion?" Mr. Wei asked in astonishment, one billion wasnât a small sum but the conditions that he was offering were indeed enticing... but no one could predict the popularity of the drama, hence this advertisement fee was too much. "Mr. Lu, I understand that Huan Ying Entertainmentâs production would definitely garner a large following but we havenât seen the drama yet so I would only be able to offer fifty million right now. After we have signed the contract, we can add on a clause stating that Wei Enterprise would be liable for the additional fifty million if there is a visible increase in the sales. If we both were to work at it, Iâm sure the profits would be more than fifty million..."
"Mr. Wei, youâre mistaken, Iâm not talking about one billion but ten billion," Lu Jinnian interrupted faintly.
Mr. Wei trembled, clearly shaken by his words. "Ten billion? How is that possible? Iâm afraid..."
"Iâll give you ten billion," Lu Jinnian added.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mr. Wei froze, staring at Lu Jinnian incredulously. The coffee in his hands shook, sending burning droplets onto his fingers.
The heat from the coffee seemed to have snapped him back to senses, and he smiled. "Mr. Lu, are you kidding?"
Lu Jinnian shook his head, staring straight into his eyes. "Iâm serious."
Mr. Wei froze, staring at Lu Jinnian for a long while before realizing that he was indeed being serious. Confused, he asked, " Mr. Lu, why are you giving me money when youâre already helping me advertise? Wonât this be a disadvantages business on your part?"
Lu Jinnian remained impassive. Silently, he retrieved a check from his pocket and pushed it over.
Mr. Wei stared at the long string of zeros on the check, he counted carefully and realized that it was indeed ten billion.
As a businessman, he knew that there was definitely something up. He hesitated slightly. "Mr. Lu, do you plan on taking over Wei Enterprise?"
"No." Lu Jinnian shook his head. He picked up his coffee and took another sip before continuing, "But for such an enticing condition, Iâm indeed looking for a return."
