My capital is quite large.

Chapter 227 Mr. Li's Melancholy

It was more than half a month later when Li Feng returned to Nanjing from Hong Kong.

If it weren't for the need to rush back to sign the $10 billion Wanda Cinema Line betting agreement with Wang Jianlin, he would have liked to stay a little longer in that top-tier apartment in Banshan Aoxuan.

His ten-day trip to Hong Kong was a truly magical experience.

Not only are his parents living happily together in Hong Kong, but more importantly, his mischievous eldest son, Li Maozhen, has started to greet people.

"Dad... Dad."

When that somewhat unclear and slightly leaky childish voice rang out in the sunroom of Victoria Harbour.

Li Feng's hand, which was holding the coffee, trembled uncontrollably.

He has been reborn twice, and has been someone else's son twice.

This was the first time that a little life connected to him by blood had called him "Dad" in such a clear and sweet voice.

Of course, if we don't count the women in bed who would deliberately make noises to please him, this was indeed the first time in his life that he had ever experienced this before.

That one word, "Dad," seemed to trigger some kind of magical chemical reaction, causing his patience with Li Maozhen, this little guy who used to only know how to howl at the top of his lungs, to increase exponentially.

Many times, Li Feng would do nothing at all, just sit quietly on the sofa, watching his eldest son crawling around on the carpet, and a smile would inevitably creep onto his face.

He didn't trust the women who flocked to him, and he trusted his so-called friends even less.

However, he believed in his offspring and in the unbreakable blood ties.

In particular, when he watched Li Maozhen's little face slowly grow up, it looked almost exactly like the 100-year-old photo he had taken when he was a child!

The only difference is that this kid's skin is like his mother Liu Yifei's, much fairer and more delicate than mine was back then.

……

Back to Jinling.

Amidst the clicks of camera flashes, Li Feng and Wang, the richest man in China, signed the agreement for the purchase of 15% of Wanda Cinema Line's original shares and related performance-based compensation in front of the media.

After signing the papers, as usual, there was a dinner party at the private club in the Zifeng Tower.

It's still Li Feng, still the richest man Wang, and that little boss Wang who follows his father around like a shadow.

After a few rounds of drinks, Li Feng, holding his wine glass, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the look in Wang the richest man's eyes as he looked at his son.

Having a son, Li Feng now understands the paternal love of this real estate tycoon.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

Wang, the richest man in China, went to great lengths to pave the way for his son.

"I understand, but I won't soften my heart because of that," Li Feng thought to himself with a cold laugh.

If Xiao Wang doesn't fall into the trap, how will Li Feng ever have a chance to take away Lao Wang's Wanda Plaza, pot and all?

Thinking of this, Li Feng put down his wine glass and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Sichong."

Li Feng addressed him very naturally, smiling as he looked at the young CEO Wang opposite him, "Last time you mentioned the live streaming market, I went back and specifically asked my subordinates to do an in-depth market survey."

When Li Feng took the initiative to talk to him and mentioned his proud business idea, the previously somewhat uninterested CEO Wang immediately sat up straight and his ears perked up!

"You know what, the live streaming market is actually quite promising lately."

Li Feng deliberately feigned an approving expression and said slowly and deliberately:

"Recently, Chen Shaojie from ACFUN has contacted me several times, always wanting the online live streaming rights for our domestic League of Legends tournaments."

"ACFUN's offers kept getting higher and higher in order to secure this license."

Li Feng raised his teacup to toast Young Master Wang, "It seems that Sichong has a good eye. Combining e-sports traffic with live streaming platforms is indeed a good business."

His strategic vision was affirmed to his face by an internet giant worth hundreds of billions!

Mr. Wang felt his blood boiling!

The joy of finding a kindred spirit made him forget all the frustration of being forced to call him "Uncle Li"!

"That's all thanks to your foresight, Uncle Li!"

Young Master Wang was so excited that he could easily address him by his full title, "Uncle Li, I admire you so much! You planned ahead for the live streaming section on Bilibili so long in advance. Your vision and strategic planning are truly impressive. Of all the people in China, I admire you the most!"

Looking at his son, who seemed to want to become sworn brothers with Li Feng on the spot.

Wang, the richest man sitting next to him, was completely bewildered!

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Wang, the richest man, coughed repeatedly, kicked his son under the table, and winked at him to behave himself.

This silly boy, someone's given you a little sweet talk and you've forgotten who you are?

If you reveal your hand so early at the negotiating table, what's the point of talking?

After being repeatedly reminded by his father, young CEO Wang realized that he had gotten a little too carried away. He quickly suppressed his smile, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and looked at Li Feng expectantly.

Li Feng took in the interaction between the father and son, and his smile deepened.

"Judging from your tone, are you interested in licensing League of Legends?" Li Feng asked knowingly.

"Yes! Of course I'm interested!"

Mr. Wang was about to agree immediately, but when he caught a glimpse of his father's warning look, he swallowed the words he was about to say and dared not continue.

Seeing that the cooking time was about right, Wang, the richest man, sighed.

He knew his son genuinely loved this line of work, and since Li Feng had brought it up himself today, he figured he was just doing him a favor.

"Brother Li, the child is still young and doesn't understand. Let's just consider this a small mishap as an opportunity for him to learn and grow."

"If it's convenient for you, Brother Li, then please help him out. As for the licensing fee, Brother Li, just name your price; money is no object!"

That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!

Li Feng made a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Brother Wang, to be honest, according to the group's plan, we originally intended to exclusively license the LOL tournament to Bilibili, so that the profits wouldn't go to outsiders."

Li Feng paused, then changed the subject: "However, since Brother Wang has spoken up today, I naturally have to give him face!"

"How about this, authorize me to leave a copy on Sichong's platform! As for the price..."

"With our friendship, talking about money would be too formal. Let's just give it to Sichong at 80% of the market price to play with!"

"Thank you, Uncle Li! Uncle Li is so generous!!" Mr. Wang was so excited that he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang, the richest man, thanked him repeatedly, saying that Li Feng was a very straightforward person.

……

The dinner party, which was enjoyed by both host and guests, came to an end.

Back in his president's office on the top floor of Haofeng Group, Li Feng leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly glazed over from the alcohol.

"Boss, would you like me to make you a cup of hangover tea?" the newly appointed chief secretary, Zhang Yuxi, asked softly.

"Need not."

Li Feng waved his hand and gave the order:

"Tomorrow, notify the overseas business department to draft a licensing agreement for the broadcasting of League of Legends tournaments."

"Send the contract to Wang Sichong. Remember, the authorization period for the contract should only be three years."

"It must be renegotiated by 2017."

After giving this instruction, Li Feng stopped.

He picked up a glass of warm water and looked at Zhang Yuxi standing to the side.

As is customary, at this point, Zhang Xinyu would undoubtedly ask him with eager curiosity, "Boss, why only a three-year contract? Is there some kind of reason for a 17-year contract?"

Then, emboldened by a bit of alcohol, Li Feng would presumptuously explain to her: because by 17, Wanda would experience an unprecedented double whammy of stock and bond losses! Little Wang's Panda TV would also suffer a cash flow crisis due to burning through cash!

At that time, the exclusive broadcasting fee for the renewal will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, and he will be able to use the performance-based clause to legally and compliantly reap the fattest piece of Wanda Cinemas!

Show off this grand blueprint for a great undertaking, and look at the secretary's admiring eyes—what emotional value that is!

Li Feng waited quietly.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed.

Zhang Yuxi simply stood there respectfully, recording the instructions on her tablet. Then she looked up, her beautiful, mixed-race face showing only obedience and unease.

"Okay, boss, I've got it. I'll notify the Ministry of Commerce to handle it first thing tomorrow morning," Zhang Yuxi replied crisply.

Then there is no more then.

She didn't ask a single question about why.

Looking at Zhang Yuxi, who was still waiting for his next instructions, Li Feng felt a sense of boredom.

This kind of restraint and obedience is indeed not something that can be easily overcome.

Even though they had already had intimate physical contact in bed, at the desk, and in the car, Zhang Yuxi was still a newcomer.

She didn't understand the boss's pride, nor could she figure out his little scheme to show off.

She wasn't Zhang Xinyu, who had been with him for five years and knew exactly how to play the straight man without him even having to say a word.

"Alright, go and get on with it." Li Feng dismissed her listlessly.

As the office door closed gently, Li Feng turned his swivel chair and looked out at the night view of Nanjing through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A touch of melancholy welled up in my heart.

Although Li Feng would never admit it, at this moment, he really did miss Zhang Xinyu.
