Chapter 170: Negotiations Again!

Liu Di pondered for a moment, then made a phone call.

He was calling the big shot, Teng Hualong!

"Hello, General Liu, what instructions do you have? Don't tell me you've changed your mind and want to take down my Penguin."

Teng Hualong was on edge.

"Borrow money."

"Huh?"

Teng Hualong was stunned, "Did I hear that right? You're asking me to lend you money?"

"The legendary Emperor Three is asking me for money?"

"You, who have billions in assets!"

Liu Di explained, "I want to buy something and prefer not to involve external capital. I want full control."

Teng Hualong realized Liu Di must be planning to acquire a company but didn't want to use bank funds due to regulatory oversight.

"Okay, how much?"

Teng Hualong prepared himself, knowing the amount wouldn't be small.

"260 billion, immediately."

Pfft...

Teng Hualong was drinking water, and it sprayed out.

I'm very rich, and my company's market value far exceeds 260 billion!

But, if I heard correctly, you want cash?

A flood of thoughts raced through Teng Hualong's mind, but he didn't dare voice any of them.

In the end, he could only ask, "Okay, when should I expect repayment?"

Liu Di took a puff of his cigarette, "To be discussed."

Uh...

Teng Hualong's mouth twitched.

Liu Di added, "Consider it a favor."

Teng Hualong took another sip of water, his arm trembling, "Give me some time; I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

"Goodbye."

Liu Di replied and hung up.

Teng Hualong's smile froze.

At that moment, he was in a large conference room.

Penguin's top executives were present.

After Twin Software ceased expanding its internet business, Penguin's business data began to recover, returning to normal operations.

Currently, Teng Hualong was personally overseeing the discussions.

"Heh..."

A secretary couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.

Teng Hualong, looking serious, asked, "What's so funny?"

The secretary, now nervous, replied honestly, "General Teng, your friend is really something. Is this how wealthy people joke around?"

"Asking to borrow 260 billion and discussing repayment later?"

"Hehe?"

Teng Hualong forced a smile, "If you knew who he was, you wouldn't be laughing."

He then banged on the table, declaring, "Everyone, pause the previous discussion. I am issuing an urgent command."

Everyone looked on in confusion.

Teng Hualong gritted his teeth, "Everyone, all departments, immediately gather all available funds, deposits, reserve money, everything. I want 260 billion in 2 hours!"

Thud.

The secretary's folder fell to the ground!

This joke seems a bit too big!

The crowd looked at Teng Hualong's serious expression; it didn't seem like a joke.

Teng Hualong's voice was low again, "Get moving immediately!"

Two hours later.

Under Teng Hualong's watchful eye, the finance director nervously completed the transfer.

Then, he looked at his boss in confusion.

Teng Hualong's lips twitched.

Ding...

Moments later, Teng Hualong received an email.

He opened it absentmindedly.

'Advertising Recommendation Big Data Algorithm...'

Teng Hualong slowly flipped through it.

His expression grew more excited.

The algorithm could precisely match advertising recommendations on the internet.

It collected customer information and made corresponding analyses.

If a user's child is 1 year old, recommend baby formula and diapers...

If a user's child is 3 years old, recommend toys and picture books...

From birth to adulthood!

If a user loves soccer, they would never be recommended basketball...

If a user loves mountain climbing, climbing equipment is instantly recommended...

This...

It's incredibly precise!

Teng Hualong blinked. Penguin's main revenue came from internet advertising.

With this algorithm...

All advertising efficiency would greatly improve!

Advertisers would naturally be willing to increase their spending!

The revenue could conservatively increase by billions annually!

At the end, Teng Hualong saw the sender's name—Emperor Three!

Teng Hualong sighed heavily!

Emperor Three, you're impressive, I'm in awe!

But.

Teng Hualong suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Wouldn't it be better if Emperor Three owed me a favor?

That's something money can't measure, right?

The finance director, looking concerned, asked, "General Teng, after this expenditure, we won't have much left in our accounts!"

Teng Hualong sighed, "Ever heard of tightening your belt?"

The finance director was still reluctant, "When will we get this money back?"

Teng Hualong scratched his head, "To be discussed!"

In the Yingzhi Group office.

The Yan family's trusted aides, along with Yan Qingwen, were burning the midnight oil, working tirelessly.

They were brainstorming strategies for Liu Di's ten questions!

Finally, after four hours, Yan Qingwen received a satisfactory answer.

She sent it to Emperor Three's email with bated breath.

Everyone watched intently.

Yan Qingwen stayed by the computer, anxiously waiting for a response.

One minute later.

Emperor Three replied with two words: "Trash."

OMG!

The entire team complained!

Is Emperor Three out of his mind?

This isn't good enough?

What does he want?

Yan Qingwen sighed heavily, took a moment to compose herself, and resolutely said, "Try again!"

Three hours later, another proposal was completed.

Emperor Three: "Trash."

Yan Qingwen remained silent, tearing up the proposal.

Try again!

Another three hours passed.

The sky was starting to brighten.

Less than six hours remained before the stock auction.

The proposal was sent.

Emperor Three: "Trash."

Yan Qingwen's eyes were bloodshot as she yelled, "Try again!"

This truly shows Yan Qingwen's determination!

Even the employees were motivated by her unyielding spirit!

Fine, let's try again!

Five hours later.

Many employees had fallen asleep at their desks.

Yan Qingwen fought on alone.

Finally, after sending the fifth proposal.

This time, it took a full 30 minutes for Emperor Three to respond.

Still, the reply was just two words—"Trash."
