181: I am not interested in Tomom.

Hong Quan looked at his son with even greater surprise and asked, "Do you know him?"

Hong Shan nodded, then shook his head.

"Do you know him or not?"

"I just met him a few days ago... I thought he was just an ordinary person; I didn't expect that he could buy Dongmeng directly without anyone noticing..." Hong Shan said, gritting his teeth.

The humiliating scene of being knocked down by Chen Qiu that night flashed through his mind!

Hong Quan glanced at his son and frowned slightly.

A father knows his son best! How could he not see that there was conflict between Hong Shan and this new owner of Dongmeng?

"Watch your attitude!" Hong Quan said in a low voice, reminding Hong Shan.

It wasn't because the other party owned 70% of Dongmeng's shares that they, father and son, had to lower their heads.

Rather, it was because the other party had quietly and rapidly finalized the acquisition with Dongmeng's other shareholders and CEO Lan, yet he, the founder, didn't even know the other party's name.

The connections and background behind him were unfathomable!

It was best not to antagonize him until they figured out his true identity.

"I know, Dad," Hong Shan said, feeling somewhat stifled.

The next moment, Hong Quan immediately stepped forward to greet Chen Qiu.

"Hello, I am Hong Shan, one of the founders of Dongmeng Media, and this is..."

"Oh, hello Director Hong, my surname is Chen, Chen Qiu!" Chen Qiu shook hands with Hong Quan with a smile.

Upon hearing this name, Hong Quan and the management team of Dongmeng felt it sounded familiar.

"Chen Qiu?" "Chen Qiu..." It seemed they had heard it quite a few times recently.

After repeating it a few times in his mind, Director Huang had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "The new CEO of Extreme Realm, President Chen Qiu?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone instantly remembered.

That's right, the new CEO who had brought earth-shaking changes to Extreme Realm recently, wasn't his name Chen Qiu?!

"You are the boss of Extreme Realm Media?!" Hong Shan's pupils dilated, and the finger he pointed at Chen Qiu trembled slightly with anger!

It all matched up! Everything matched up!

No wonder Zhang Mantong was able to receive so much resource support!

No wonder that since that night, Extreme Realm had started aggressively encircling Dongmeng!

It turned out this guy was holding a grudge!

"It is me. It seems I left a very deep impression on Young Master Hong!" Chen Qiu looked at Hong Shan with a playful glint in his eyes.

The latter was so furious he started gasping for air.

Before he could curse, Hong Quan quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"So it is President Chen, you are truly young and promising!"

"President Chen, let's go inside and sit down to talk!" Noticing that many employees were looking their way, Hong Quan quickly suggested.

"Very well!" Chen Qiu nodded.

Then the group walked towards the conference room.

At the entrance of the conference room, Chen Qiu suddenly turned his head and said to the other management members of Dongmeng Media, "I have something to discuss with Director Hong and his son privately. You all go back to your work."

The few looked at each other, then nodded directly.

"Very well, President Chen."

Seeing Chen Qiu acting like the owner less than five minutes after stepping into Dongmeng, Hong Quan and Hong Shan felt some resentment.

Hong Quan narrowed his eyes.

Right now, the remaining shares of the entire Dongmeng were in his and his son's hands.

Chen Qiu wanting to talk to them privately, his purpose was obvious!

After sitting down in the conference room, Hong Quan said in a deep voice, "If President Chen wants the shares in our hands, you might as well save your breath!"

"Dongmeng is a company I founded single-handedly, and it means a lot to me!"

"Even though it has been usurped, I still will not sell the remaining shares!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu almost laughed out loud.

"I think Director Hong has misunderstood!"

"I am not interested in the shares in your hands!"

"Not only that, I am not interested in the entire Dongmeng!"

Chen Qiu's words left the two stunned.

If you aren't interested, why buy Dongmeng? Is your money burning a hole in your pocket?

"I originally thought Dongmeng Media, which firmly sits as the leader in Gannan, would have some unique qualities, so I was a bit impulsive."

"I didn't expect, tsk tsk..."

Chen Qiu's tone of shaking his head in disdain made it very clear that he looked down on Dongmeng!

He was even quite disgusted by it!

This made Hong Quan, as the founder of Dongmeng, feel somewhat humiliated!

Hong Shan jumped up and cursed loudly!

"Your Extreme Realm is still being trampled under our feet, what are you pretending for?"

Hong Quan did not stop Hong Shan at first; after pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Then, what does President Chen mean?"

Chen Qiu's lips curled slightly; he pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing his legs comfortably!

"I want to ask, is Director Hong interested in the 70% stake in my hands?"

"Director Hong can repurchase them at market price!"

The Hong father and son widened their eyes in unison.

You want to sell Dongmeng back to us? What kind of move is this?

"Sigh, I bought these at a significant premium from Dongmeng's shareholders!"

"Selling them at market price, I'm going to lose a lot of money!"

Chen Qiu's attitude was like someone who bought something, realized they were scammed, and wanted to get rid of it immediately!

It made Hong Shan feel annoyed!

What, is Dongmeng Media some kind of trash asset?

Hong Quan looked at Chen Qiu with suspicion.

He had never seen anyone do business like this!

Was he seriously not trying to humiliate them?

"I wonder what market price President Chen is referring to..."

"Two hundred million, flat rate!"

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in Hong Quan's eyes!

Two hundred million for 70% of the shares; that was indeed the market price for Dongmeng Media!

Did this guy really buy those shares from the shareholders at a premium?

Why did he find it hard to believe?

If that were the case, wouldn't this current maneuver be handing a benefit to their Hong family?

The thing Hong Quan regretted most in his life was his reckless financing back in the day!

He was too young then, and in order to get the money, he agreed to all sorts of agreements!

He didn't know how to set up A/B shares!

This led to him, the founder, gradually losing his say; after being hollowed out by those below, he was almost kicked out of Dongmeng!

As a founder, Hong Quan felt extreme pain during that time.

It was clearly his own company, yet he couldn't grasp the real power... Because of this, Dongmeng even missed an opportunity to go public!

Now, with a hope to regain the company's power, Hong Quan was tempted!

"You aren't joking, are you?"

"If Director Hong doesn't trust me, we can draft an agreement first and pay a deposit!"

"I don't need 70% of the shares; I only want 40%!"

"Director Hong, do you take me for a fool?" Chen Qiu looked at him with an unkind gaze.

"Dongmeng is of no use to me, so I will not keep a single share!"

"I can only give Director Hong two days to think about the decision and raise the funds; I won't wait past that!"

"I hope Director Hong can consider it carefully!" After saying this, Chen Qiu left the conference room directly.

Inside the conference room, Hong Shan turned to look at his father.

"Are we really going to repurchase?"

"Dongmeng is my life's work, and it has been on an upward trajectory in recent years!"

"If managed properly, perhaps in two years we could go public and ring the bell!" Hong Quan said in a deep voice.

Hong Shan spread his hands and said irritably, "Dad, that's two hundred million!"

"When have we ever been able to come up with two hundred million in cash?"

Hong Quan smiled mysteriously.

Two hundred million—of course he couldn't come up with that!

The cash he could put together was at most thirty or fifty million; it was quite far from buying the 70% stake in Chen Qiu's hands.

But just because he didn't have the money didn't mean those investment institutions didn't!

He was confident he could pull the remaining one hundred million plus from investment institutions!

And this time, he would not let the power slip away again!
