Chapter 166 Sun Leke's Initiative
The investment bank that made the latest offer for Toutiao is Goldman Sachs, a well-known American investment bank, which directly gave Toutiao a valuation of one billion US dollars.
As long as Wu Tao agrees, the wealth can be realized immediately. Based on 20% equity, Wu Tao's net worth has already exceeded 200 million US dollars.
Wu Tao's former college classmates and former colleagues at the foreign trade company saw through the news reports that Wu Tao has now achieved great success.
Are people asking around for Wu Tao's new phone number?
Unfortunately, after searching around, they couldn't find anyone who knew Wu Tao's new number.
Wu Tao changed his phone number immediately after divorcing Liu Ruyan, as he didn't want to continue contacting those people from before.
In Wu Tao's view, those people were all related to the original owner of the body, and now that he had come here, he did not want to continue to have contact with them.
Wu Tao did not expect that Sun Leke would take the initiative to come to Toutiao's company to find him.
The secretary led Sun Leke to Wu Tao's office, where Wu Tao looked at the short-haired woman in front of him.
Sun Leke and Chen Bin are the same age; at thirty-two, she is very beautiful and has a good temperament. Just by looking at her, you can tell that Sun Leke is a career-oriented, strong woman.
However, the two sides don't seem to have any connection. It was only because of Chen Bin that Liu Ruyan got to know Sun Leke.
"What, do you not want to see me, or are you surprised to see me?"
"Miss Sun, I am very pleased to welcome you. I just don't know what brings you here today?"
Sun Leke sat sideways on the sofa, holding a teacup in one hand and looking at the other person.
Compared to their last meeting, Wu Tao is clearly different now. Last time, Sun Leke was in a superior position with Wu Tao; aside from kicking Chen Bin out, she had no intention of having much contact with him.
At the time, Wu Tao was just a manager at a small company, so Sun Leke naturally didn't need to pay any attention to him.
Furthermore, Chen Bin's affair was with Wu Tao's wife. If Wu Tao were capable, he wouldn't have let his wife go out and find another man.
Sun Leke wouldn't cause trouble for no reason and blame Wu Tao, nor would she have much affection for him.
Sun Leke didn't even take a good look at Wu Tao at that time. It wasn't until she saw Wu Tao on TV later that she suddenly remembered who he was.
It seems that the other person started to work hard because of their divorce, and perhaps the trauma caused an ordinary person to unleash tremendous energy.
Sun Leke greatly admires this young man, whose company, Toutiao, has reached a valuation of one billion US dollars in just a few months.
Sun Leke's previously indifferent attitude towards Wu Tao has now changed.
"Mr. Wu, I'm here today to invest in Toutiao. I'm very optimistic about this project; I believe its future potential exceeds 10 billion US dollars. I'm very sincere today, so I've decided to buy 5% of your initial public offering shares at a valuation of 1 billion US dollars. What do you think, Mr. Wu?"
"Thank you very much, Ms. Sun, for your confidence in Toutiao. However, I'm sorry, Ms. Sun, Toutiao does not need financing at the moment. I will inform you when there is an opportunity in the future."
Wu Tao spread his hands. Of course he knew the future of Toutiao. Besides, his own Black Angel Investment Company had 500 million US dollars in cash.
They certainly won't sell their shares at a low price right now, unless the other party offers more money.
Sun Leke was not surprised at all. She was clear about the future of Toutiao, so Wu Tao, as the founder, was naturally even more clear about it.
However, that's how negotiations work; you can't reveal all your cards right away.
"Mr. Wu, what if we added me to the list?"
As Sun Leke spoke, she struck a languid pose, confident that her charm could win over Wu Tao.
She was already single, and Wu Tao was so capable, so marrying him would be a perfect match.
Compared to Chen Bin, Wu Tao is now clearly more outstanding.
Sun Leke has taken charge of managing her family's various businesses, and her parents rarely get involved in business anymore, except for traveling and sightseeing.
With assets of over a billion yuan and seven or eight of her own companies, Sun Leke can make decisions with a single word, so her abilities are self-evident.
Sun Leke is very rational when it comes to love. When she chose Chen Bin, it wasn't out of love, but rather because she felt that Chen Bin was the best solution for her.
Now that she's met Wu Tao, Sun Leke is once again using her charm to try and win him over.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Miss Sun, but I'm not considering finding a woman at the moment, so I apologize."
Sun Leke left dejectedly, never expecting to be rejected by Wu Tao. Instead, a rebellious streak began to form in her heart; she was willing to accept not being with Wu Tao.
However, he absolutely could not be ignored like this. Next, Sun Leke would take action and vowed not to rest until he had taken down Wu Tao.
After watching Sun Leke leave, Wu Tao returned to his busy work.
Fortunately, his personal space is amazing. He can rest in it for two or three hours at night and then be able to continue working with full energy the next day.
Wu Tao now occasionally tends to his personal space, but all four acres have been planted with ginseng.
He took out all the livestock and slowly consumed them. He would never again use his personal space to farm or raise livestock in this lifetime.
Besides growing ginseng, he also planned to leave it for his family when he got old; this was where he kept his secret.
Wu Tao spent hundreds of thousands of US dollars again in the United States, purchasing a considerable amount of weapons and ammunition, motorcycles, speedboats, and small helicopters.
Even gasoline and diesel fuel were stored in quantities of several thousand liters each.
He felt more at ease after preparing all the supplies in his personal space. Wu Tao would rather never need these things in his life than wait until he needed them and not have prepared them in advance.
After leaving Toutiao, Sun Leke quickly sent people to collect all of Wu Tao's information.
If Wu Tao were to see this information, he would probably be quite surprised, as he himself had forgotten some of it.
The power of capital is too great. With just one sentence from Sun Leke, the other party even investigated the matter of Wu Tao stealing a piece of milk candy when he was a child.
Sun Le looked at the collected data with some curiosity. Analyzing it, Wu Tao really hadn't shown such potential.
Sun Leke could only attribute it to the other party's incredible luck; sometimes, that's just how it is—a flash of genius can create a miracle.
Wu Tao was unaware of Sun Leke's behind-the-scenes maneuvering; he had already appeared in front of a detached villa.
"Ring ring"
Who is it?
"Sister Zhang, it's me, Wu Tao."
"Hey, Xiao Tao, wait a minute, I'll go out and open the door for you right away."
Zhang Luoyu is forty years old this year, twelve years older than Wu Tao.
The story of how the two met is quite interesting. At that time, Zhang Luoyu was eighteen years old and had just been admitted to university.
Zhang Luoyu, a college student, took the initiative to participate in volunteer activities.
One of her tasks was to take care of children at an orphanage, and it was there that Zhang Luoyu met Wu Tao.
