Chapter 274: Unaccountably Solicitous

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Wang Jingwen’s face. She did not dare to continue thinking because that was not something she could imagine. In the end, she could only keep telling herself that all of this was just a coincidence.
The assistant took a call and said to the president of Jia Le, “Boss, a colleague from the Commerce Department just called. He said that the Fragrant Wind Group has changed their mind. They’ve withdrawn the thirty million yuan from before.”
The president nodded and smiled disdainfully. “That’s right, that’s normal. Regardless of whether it’s Li Shaoqun or the Siren, what right do they have to attract the sponsorship of such an international corporation?”
Just as he finished speaking, the assistant said awkwardly, “Boss, I, I didn’t finish what I was saying just now… My colleague from the Commerce Department said that Fragrant Wind Group had withdrawn thirty million yuan and changed it to sponsor fifty million yuan.”
The next second, the president’s legs went weak and he sat on the ground. 50 million sponsorship was indeed worthy of being the Fragrant Wind Group. Just its investment was more than the sponsorship of more than twenty companies previously.
At this moment, the employee from before said, “Boss, just now, my colleagues from the marketing department sent me a message. The Xie Corporation has decided to raise the sponsorship to 50 million. The Xie Corporation also said that they will be in charge of the publicity for the concert. Not only will the entire Xia country, but even the neighboring countries and the western countries will know about the news of Li Shaoqun’s concert.”
The president trembled. He had built his business from scratch and was proud and arrogant. He had always looked down on Li Shaoqun in secret. In his eyes, Li Shaoqun’s singing skills were average, and his character was average. If not for the Li family backing him, he would be nothing. Besides, Li Shaoqun wasn’t a legitimate son of the Li family. His surname only changed to Li after his mother joined the Li family.
He did not expect that he would actually be able to pull in the sponsors of two super consortiums. As long as the news was released, the shares of Jia Le Records would probably rise sharply!
“Let’s go and talk to the people from Fragrant Wind Group. They said that they wanted to be the only sponsor. I wonder if there’s any room for negotiation.” The president said and hurriedly walked towards the business department with his men.
…
Di Hui Building, level 95.
“Ninth Master, according to your instructions, the business department of the corporation has contacted Jia Le Records and has happily reached an agreement with them. The two parties only need to sign a contract after.” Su Yu reported.
Xie Jiuhan did not say a word. He leaned against the boss’s chair with a gloomy face. He exuded a strong aura.
“Ninth Master, are you thinking about the Fragrant Wind Group?” Su Yu probed.
Compared to the Xie Corporation, the Fragrant Wind Group was considered a rising star. However, both parties had never had any dealings with each other, nor had they had any conflicts or collaborations.
Xie Jiuhan noticed the Fragrant Wind Group because it had grown too quickly. In just two years, it had risen from a small company to the top five in the world and became the most famous investment company in the world.
Fragrant Wind Group was very famous, but their boss was very low-key. Many forces had investigated the boss of the Fragrant Wind Group, but none of them found anything. They didn’t know any names, sex, or age, as if this person didn’t exist in the world at all.
What puzzled Xie Jiuhan the most was that both companies were top international investment firms. However, every time they encountered the same project, the Fragrant Wind Group would take the initiative to withdraw and let the Xie Corporation take the cake for themselves. Even when there were some projects that were difficult to get, the Fragrant Wind Group would unintentionally give the Xie Corporation a push to help them stand out from the competition.
This was originally a good thing, but it was not the case in Xie Jiuhan’s eyes. Which investor did not seek profits? Why did they always give such a good thing to the Xie Corporation? One who was unaccountably solicitous was definitely hiding evil intentions!
“Su Yu, do you think the president of Fragrant Wind simply wants to chase after idols or does he have other motives?” Xie Jiuhan asked.
Su Yu did not answer immediately. Instead, he frowned and started thinking. He could not figure out why the Fragrant Wind Group wanted to sponsor a small concert. It would be a problem if they could recover their capital, let alone profit if they were to invest 50 million.
Unlike Fragrant Wind Group, the Xie Corporation sponsored the concert solely to support the Siren. As for who the Siren was, others might not know, but how could Xie Jiuhan and Su Yu not know?
