Su Yan holds 99.9% of Celestial Technology's shares, while the Tang family exchanged 5 billion for a mere one-thousandth.
Although it was only one-tenth of one percent, the Tang family was Grand God Technology's only shareholder besides Su Yan.
And now, with the great success of Future Invasion, the Tang family is naturally the biggest beneficiary, receiving one-thousandth of the revenue.
240 billion profit, that's 240 million.
This amount of money is negligible to Su Yan… but it is Su Yan's sincerity in repaying the Tang family.
After all, the Tang family did offer timely help to Su Yan, investing 5 billion yuan for just one-thousandth of the shares… At that time, Celestial Technology did not have such a vast scale as it does now.
The Tang family's willingness to invest such a large sum of money fully demonstrated their trust in Su Yan.
Naturally, now that Su Yan has profited, he should at least offer the Tang family some benefits, shouldn't he?
"I was just about to bring this up."
Old Master Tang spoke earnestly, "Initially, it was because you showed kindness to the Tang family, saving us from a crisis, so we wanted to repay that kindness. We were willing to put out 500 million.
But now that your Grand God Technology is worth trillions, if we, the Tang family, do not act to repay the kindness, but instead ride on your coattails, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and logically!
So I have decided to return that one-thousandth of the shares to you! And those 5 billion will be written off!"
Tang Youming is a man of extreme principles.
Repaying kindness is repaying kindness; investing is investing.
The Tang family gave 50% to repay kindness, but now it has become an investment, and the object of this investment is a company with infinite prospects in the future.
As such, the act of repaying kindness ceased to exist, and the Tang family instead took advantage of Su Yan.
For Tang Youming, he already has enough money to spend as he wishes.
He also has a high enough status to be in charge.
Naturally, more money means little to him!
Rather than taking advantage, it would be better to return this one-thousandth of the shares to Su Yan, giving him peace of mind.
"Old Master Tang, you truly are a man of character!"
Su Yan shook his head and smiled.
He hadn't expected Tang Youming to make such a decision. He had clearly acquired a gold mine, yet he wanted to put it back where it was. Such an awareness is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
However, this also confirms that befriending the Tang family was the right choice.
"You keep the shares!"
The Tang family's willingness to invest 500 million to acquire shares in Grand God Technology, a company that was nothing at the time, for just one-tenth of a percent… that was already the greatest return they could have given me!
That one-thousandth of the shares is what the Tang family deserves, and the Tang family will forever be Celestial Technology's second-largest shareholder!
Su Yan smiled slightly, clinked his glass with Old Master Tang's, and then drained it.
"You little rascal."
Tang Youming let out a dumbfounded laugh.
He thought he had underestimated Su Yan.
How could someone who could create a trillion-dollar company and develop so many astonishing black technologies in such a short time be an ordinary person?
One-thousandth of the shares would not even register in his mind!
With that remark, he clearly showed that he had looked down on him.
"Alright, alright, Old Man. I also hope that the Tang family can maintain our friendship with you forever!"
Old Master Tang glanced meaningfully at Tang Ya beside him, then also drained the wine in his glass.
…
"CEO Su, congratulations! Do you remember me? We met at CEO Lei's celebration banquet last time! Your press conference today truly opened my eyes. If there are any opportunities for cooperation in the future, please remember me; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"CEO Su, the Future Invasion phone is truly amazing! I just tried it once, and I'm already hooked! You are so young, yet you could invent such an epoch-making product, truly remarkable! Young man, I'm in mobile software development. If there's an opportunity, please give me a helping hand!"
"CEO Su, this is my business card. I'm an agent from G Huang Entertainment Company. If you're interested in developing in the entertainment and film industry, you can contact me directly! Our company will definitely satisfy you!"
…
After chatting with Old Master Tang for a moment, the two left.
As soon as Old Master Tang left, other business magnates flocked to Su Yan, eagerly presenting their business cards with fawning smiles. The current Su Yan was a tycoon sitting on hundreds of billions, even trillions, of yuan in assets.
He had instantly surpassed all the magnates who had struggled in the business world for decades.
And this was just the beginning.
Their gap would only grow wider in the future!
At that time, even all the magnates in the market combined would not have as much wealth as Su Yan alone.
Naturally, being able to connect with Su Yan, even if it was just a tiny connection, would lead to "boundless prospects."
"Oh? G Huang Entertainment Company?"
"I heard… you're planning to adapt a xuanhuan novel, Shrouding the Heavens, right?"
Su Yan suddenly became interested and inquired, turning his head.
"Yes, yes!"
The agent felt incredibly honored that Su Yan had responded to him and quickly nodded, "Shrouding the Heavens is a TV series project our company plans to start preparing for soon. We've already invited the most famous director in China, Zhang Yimou, to direct it! If you're interested, we can arrange a time to talk with you anytime you wish!"
The agent looked at Su Yan with utmost reverence, his eyes full of anticipation.
"What's your total investment budget right now?" Su Yan asked.
"400 million!" The agent's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Because it's a TV series, if we invest too much, the investors worry it won't break even, so we've tentatively set this investment amount. Of course, more investors will definitely join later, so you can rest assured!"
400 million.
To film a TV series of Shrouding the Heavens?
The resulting effect would probably be no different from 'Mounted Douluo'.
"Alright, I understand."
Su Yan nodded. "I'll invest 10 billion yuan. There's only one condition: choose the actors perfectly, eliminate all those traffic stars, and ensure the special effects are top-notch, even better than Hollywood. Is that okay?"
"1… 10 billion?!"
The agent's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking he had misheard.
"That's right, 10 billion."
Su Yan nodded matter-of-factly.
"But… but CEO Su, TV series are different from movies!
The agent quickly explained, "TV series cannot generate profit through box office revenue. If you invest so much, even if the series becomes incredibly popular, it will be difficult to break even, let alone make money."
"When did I say I wanted to make money?"
Su Yan raised a hand, directly interrupting him. "I just want to watch a TV series when I'm bored. I don't find current TV series good, so I'm investing 10 billion for my enjoyment!"
"Is there a problem?"
The agent was dumbfounded.
Spend 10 billion just to watch a TV series?
He suddenly remembered that famous saying When you're rich, you can really do whatever you want!
