19: Chapter 19 The largest shareholder of Tongxing Entertainment Company

Before Chen Shaoping could finish his sentence, Zhang Ying interrupted him.

"Teacher Chen, I'm interested. Go ahead, speak plainly."

Her eager appearance almost made Chen Shaoping laugh.

"Sister Ying, I want absolute authority over Tongxing Entertainment Company."

Li Qian and Wang Bo looked at each other, not expecting Chen Shaoping to have such a large appetite.

Zhang Ying, on the other hand, remained very calm. Without much expression, her eyes remained fixed on Chen Shaoping.

"It's not impossible. How many shares do you want, or do you want all of them? How much do you plan to pay?"

Chen Shaoping felt a bit embarrassed by the question.

"I don't have money, but I have works—many works."

"As for shares, I want at least 51%. Furthermore, as the second shareholder, your shares will not exceed 25%."

Chen Shaoping's words were essentially trying to get something for nothing. If it were someone with a bad temper, they would have already started cursing.

"Da Ping, how about we wait a bit longer? Once the revenue from 'the only one' comes in, I won't take a single cent; I'll give it all to you."

"We can talk to Sister Ying again then," Wang Bo said.

Li Qian didn't speak; she just gave Wang Bo a tug, signaling him to shut up.

She knew in her heart that this was Zhang Ying's only chance—or rather, this was a chance Chen Shaoping was giving Zhang Ying.

As long as he had works, he could simply register a company and slowly build it up.

She really wanted to advise Zhang Ying, but the current situation made it difficult to speak up.

"The works you mentioned—are they all like 'later' and 'the only one'?" Zhang Ying asked after some thought.

"Yes."

"Alright then, we'll do as you say. However, I can't manage a company; I'll just focus on singing well."

Zhang Ying agreed without much deliberation, specifically mentioning that she didn't want to manage the company.

It seemed that managing the company over the years had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

"I'll set the general direction, but I won't handle the specific matters either."

"Then who will?" Zhang Ying looked at Chen Shaoping in surprise.

"Her," Chen Shaoping said loudly, pointing his finger at Li Qian.

Li Qian couldn't believe Chen Shaoping's idea and felt a bit agitated.

"Da Ping, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Shaoping took a deep breath.

"Everyone, please calm down first and listen to my current thoughts."

"Company shares: I'll take 51%, Sister Ying 25%, Sister Qian 8%, and the rest will be reserved for future use."

"Sister Qian, for your shares, you only have dividend rights and no ownership. If you leave the company, it means you automatically forfeit the shares."

"Most importantly, you need to manage the company's trivial matters for now. Once the company is on the right track, if you don't want to manage them anymore, we'll find another way."

"The company's next focus won't be Wang Bo, but you, Sister Ying."

"You haven't released a song for a while. Release 'later' as soon as possible, and then I'll prepare an album for you."

"I want to push you to the throne of a Diva in the shortest time possible. With a Diva backing us, the company's development will be much easier."

"Also, Wang Bo needs to become a Superstar in the shortest time possible."

"The company will also slowly enter the film and television industry."

This was all Chen Shaoping could think of for now, and he took a small sip of water.

Then he looked at the three of them excitedly, hoping for their input.

Zhang Ying and Wang Bo were very excited; the allure of becoming a Diva and a Superstar was too great for them.

Who wouldn't long for a better life?

Li Qian felt annoyed seeing the three of them like this and said discontentedly,

"Da Ping. How is it that in your mouth, creating a Superstar or a Diva is as easy as drinking water?"

"You two have had enough, wipe the drool from the corners of your mouths."

Questioned, Chen Shaoping didn't panic at all and said righteously,

"I'm responsible for writing songs, they're responsible for singing, and you're responsible for promotion and generating hype..."

"If there's no problem with the songs and no problem with their singing, and they don't end up as a Superstar or Diva, then that's your problem."

"You..." Li Qian gnashed her teeth, not knowing what to say.

Chen Shaoping's expression returned to calm, and he said seriously: "If the three of you have no objections to what I've said, then it's settled?"

Zhang Ying was the first to respond: "I agree!"

Wang Bo grinned: "Anyway, I'm following Brother Ping."

Li Qian smiled weakly; it seemed her opinion didn't matter much anymore.

"President Chen, President Zhang. This humble woman will risk her life to accompany you gentlemen. Please give me your guidance in the future."

The four of them looked at each other and laughed, their laughter echoing throughout Tongxing Entertainment Company.

...

It was already evening when Chen Shaoping returned home.

Once the direction was set, changes were made with swift and decisive action.

Not only had the contracts and agreements been signed, but the administrative assistant, Zhou Juan, had already gone to the government service hall in the afternoon.

She was there to change the legal representative, shareholders, and other details.

Li Qian's workload increased significantly.

Zhang Ying was the happiest; having shed the heavy burden from her shoulders, she smiled more and felt much lighter.

Her primary responsibility now was to adjust her state to its best.

And this happened to be what she liked, what she was good at, and her professional field.

Chen Shaoping's task was the songs, which for him was actually the easiest part.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The phone rang.

Chen Shaoping picked it up.

"How is it, Mengmeng?"

He could feel through the phone that Yang Mengmeng was exceptionally excited, her voice very loud.

"Brother, I passed! Director Feng decided to use me. I'm so happy!"

"Thank you, Brother. Director Feng requires me to join the crew first thing tomorrow morning. I'll treat you to a big meal after I finish acting and come back."

Chen Shaoping was also in a good mood, but he didn't forget to remind Yang Mengmeng about a few things.

"Good, good, good. Maintain a good attitude when you go, and learn more from the seniors."

"But if someone tries to bully you, don't be a coward. Talk back when you need to."

"Your brother has your back."

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing a piece of intelligence. Gained 2 paparazzi points.]

After finishing the call with Yang Mengmeng...

Influenced by her mood, Chen Shaoping hummed a little tune as he walked into the bathroom.

The system's voice came just then.

So far, the system's intelligence seemed quite good, but the acquisition of paparazzi points remained a bit of a mystery.

It seemed that the more beneficial his choice of intelligence was for himself, the more paparazzi points he got, or the heavier the punishment the subject of the intelligence received, the more paparazzi points he got.

For example, regarding that piece of intelligence about Zhang Ying—if he had 'eaten' her, the paparazzi points might have been higher.

Warm water poured down over his head. Chen Shaoping completely cleared his mind, feeling like a person who was truly alive.

On this day, both his body and mind had been elevated.

After a satisfying shower, Chen Shaoping walked out wearing just his boxers.

Just as he lay down on the bed, the system's voice came again.

[Ding! Today's intelligence has been refreshed. Would the Host like to acquire it immediately?]

"Acquire."

[Today's Intelligence (★★): The TV series 'palace jade', produced by Jiaxing Media and starring Yang Mi. The broadcast time has been confirmed, but a suitable theme song has yet to be found.

Yang Mi is anxious and has been frantically seeking help from friends and entertainment companies over the past few days, but with little success. This intelligence is valid for 2 days. Yang Mi's phone number: 133...]

This intelligence was interesting. Did it mean Yang Mi wouldn't find a song within two days, but would find one after two days?

Or did it mean that after two days, it wouldn't matter even if Yang Mi got a song?

Chen Shaoping rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
