YM778.TV Chapter 301 - 301 Nuonuo, You’re Getting
Translator: 549690339
“Hmm?” Jiang Xu looked at An Nuonuo with a face full of anticipation.
He wondered to himself if An Nuonuo was finally going to agree to his alternative route since they were parting ways.
An Nuonuo took a deep breath and said, “Then tonight, I’ll help you pack your luggage!”
“???” Jiang Xu’s face was full of question marks.
When he saw the slightly upturned corners of An Nuonuo’s mouth, he instantly knew he had been fooled.
“Wow, An Nuonuo, you’re getting naughtier, daring to tease me like this. Just wait till I get you.”
“Ah, I’m wrong, Brother Xu, spare my life…”
An Nuonuo let out a series of alarmed cries, taking off with her long, shapely legs.
“Don’t run!” Jiang Xu pretended to be very angry as he chased after her: “You’d better not let me catch you, or I’ll definitely make you assist me in my cultivation!”
“Giggle, giggle, giggle…”
The sound of the girl’s bell-like laughter continued to ring out on the streets.
At the moment of parting, the two youngsters naturally had their own ways to express their unwillingness to separate.
After omitting ten thousand words of description, it was the next day at noon.
An Nuonuo was still asleep.
She had gone to bed late the night before.
Jiang Xu didn’t disturb her.
He left a little note, finished washing up, and then took a taxi to the airport by himself.
Quantou Company’s headquarters were located in the fake state of Santa Monica, Mei Country.
To fly there from Jiang City would take nearly twenty-two hours.
By the time Jiang Xu arrived, it was already the evening of October 3rd.
After disembarking from the airplane,
Jiang Xu walked out of the airport and took a deep breath.
He curled his lip, “What’s the big deal? The air here isn’t sweet at all.”
He couldn’t understand why so many people on their knees felt the air here was sweet.
Looking up at the moon, it wasn’t any brighter or rounder than the one back home.
Jiang Xu hailed a taxi.
He provided an address in fluent local language.
Before he left, he had already exchanged a bit of Mei Country’s currency.
The driver was a very robust man.
His attitude towards Jiang Xu, a foreigner, was mediocre, even with a hint of disdain.
That was normal, though.
After all, they were currently the top dog globally.
But such a situation wouldn’t last too long.
After traveling some distance, the driver suddenly asked whether Jiang Xu wanted to have a good time.
He mentioned they had some real beauties available.
Jiang Xu immediately understood what he was referring to.
DB and DP!
Those were two things Jiang Xu would never touch.
If touched, one’s family and person would surely meet ruin.
History had shown that no one who dabbled could escape such a fate.
So, young people should just get high on life and stay away from those two things.
Jiang Xu shook his head in refusal.
But the driver kept on talking, even with a hint of threat in his words.
After all, he could earn a decent commission if he managed to convince a client.
Jiang Xu was speechless.
Being abroad, he didn’t want to cause trouble and said he would give a hundred more upon reaching the destination.
Then…
The driver pulled over to the side of the road, took out a small knife, and attempted to mug Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu: “…”
What kind of situation was this?
He looked around.
Well, there was no one around, and no cameras either.
Suddenly, he made his move.
A kick landed squarely on the driver’s lower abdomen.
The man let out a scream, his body curling up like a shrimp.
Then Jiang Xu left the area on foot.
Nearing one in the morning, he checked into a hotel successfully.
The city’s security wasn’t too bad.
The next day, Jiang Xu arrived at the headquarters of Quantou Company.
The office space was still quite simple.
The real highlight would come in the near future when the entire company was acquired by Tencent.
Jiang Xu remembered that initially, Tencent had spent over four billion to acquire the developer of this game.
He mentioned his purpose to the receptionist.
Soon after, the founder, Merrill, appeared.
“Who are you?” Merrill asked, puzzled by Jiang Xu’s presence and unable to guess his intention.
Jiang Xu was straightforward, “I know your company is about to launch a game called ‘League of Legends’.
I’m interested in obtaining the distribution rights and the future mobile game development rights.
As for the price, let’s package it all together for ten million Mei Yuan.”
Originally, Tencent had acquired the domestic distribution rights for eight million.
Jiang Xu added an extra two million for the future mobile game development rights.
Of course, Jiang Xu could have used a more roundabout method to negotiate.
Given the current situation of Quantou Company, it might have been possible to get the rights for four to five million, or even less.
But that would be too time-consuming.
Jiang Xu didn’t have the time to drag things out here.
Merrill immediately straightened up, “Are you serious?”
“Mhm,” Jiang Xu nodded.
Merrill’s eyes flickered with excitement.
He had been worrying about where to get the funds for the game’s launch promotion.
He hadn’t expected someone to offer him money so soon.
However, he didn’t agree right away.
Instead, he feigned difficulty, “Unfortunately, just a few days ago someone from your area came asking for the rights.
The price they offered was a bit higher than yours, so…”
Jiang Xu inwardly sneered.
This was pure nonsense.
It was nothing more than an attempt to hike up the price.
Jiang Xu stood up, ready to leave, “Alright then, you should just cooperate with that person from before.”
“No, no, no, let’s talk this out,” Merrill hurriedly said when he saw that Jiang Xu didn’t hesitate at all to leave.
He couldn’t let a god of wealth slip away.
He made a decision, “I feel a connection with you, so I’ve decided to give you some concessions.”
On the surface, Jiang Xu put on a look of great honor.
A few hours later, the contract was signed, and Jiang Xu also provided a down payment of one million.
The deal was thus settled.
The process went more smoothly than Jiang Xu had expected.
Next, upon returning to his home country, he needed to step up efforts to make money.
After securing the rights for League of Legends, he would need to recruit many programmers and the like.
Late-stage marketing would also need funding.
The cash of over three hundred million on hand probably wouldn’t last very long.
Since he was in Mei Country, should he buy some shares of the fruit company?
This idea flashed through Jiang Xu’s mind but was quickly dismissed by him.
Forget it.
With his intervention in this life, the fruit company couldn’t possibly reach the heights it did in his past life.
It’s better to save the money.
After dealing with the matters at hand, Jiang Xu didn’t plan on staying there any longer.
Though there were many nice cars he could try driving here.
But Jiang Xu wasn’t interested in that.
He already had the world’s most beautiful, most luxurious car.
Once again, he boarded a plane.
This time, he chose Magic City as the destination.
The journey to Magic City was much shorter, only fifteen hours.
After the round trip, it was already October 6, almost time for school to start.
“Phew, nothing beats the air at home,” Jiang Xu breathed deeply as he stepped out of the airport, grinning broadly.
He was not at all accustomed to the ‘freedom’ over there.
While walking out of the airport, he turned on his phone.
Several text messages and missed calls showed up, all from Jiang Xiaoyan.
