Chapter 168 Two New Shareholders
Zhang Luoyu still vividly remembers everything that happened that night. She went from being passive at the beginning to becoming frantic later on.
The two stayed in the house for three whole days before Wu Tao left Zhang Luoyu's house for Switzerland.
In three days, Zhang Luoyu and Wu Tao practically took over every corner of the house. Zhang Luoyu was conservative to begin with, and didn't have many tricks up her sleeve after getting married.
This might also be the reason why the second-generation heir cheated; Zhang Luoyu felt that as a wife, she couldn't do that. .
If it were now, Zhang Luoyu certainly wouldn't be so reserved, since she was young and always maintained her dignity back then.
This time, Zhang Luoyu learned a lot from Wu Tao's guidance and encouragement. It was also the first time she truly experienced the beauty of love between a man and a woman.
After Wu Tao returned from the United States, he would visit Zhang Luoyu's home every three to five days.
Sun Leke tempted Wu Tao, but Wu Tao was able to resist her charm mainly because he was not short of meat to eat right now.
Zhang Luoyu, now rekindled in her affections, displays an intense infatuation with Wu Tao. If Wu Tao weren't currently at the peak of his career, she would be eager for him to come home and spend time with her every day.
As a mature woman and an older sister figure, Zhang Luoyu naturally wouldn't be so immature. In fact, Zhang Luoyu still hoped that Wu Tao would come over more often.
Wu Tao was also happy to come and keep Zhang Luoyu company. With Zhang Luoyu, Wu Tao didn't need to worry about getting along; he could just devote himself wholeheartedly.
When dealing with a forty-year-old woman, the more powerful your methods, the happier she will be. Zhang Luoyu doesn't need the naivety of a young person now.
That night, the two of them were drinking. Wu Tao, an old man who had been with countless women, could see through Zhang Luoyu's thoughts at a glance.
He originally wanted to eat meat, and having encountered such a top-quality man, he certainly wouldn't let his little brother suffer.
Moreover, in Wu Tao's mind, the way to repay a beautiful woman is to win her over and take care of her for the rest of his life.
Wu Tao acted decisively, giving Zhang Luoyu a hug and a kiss, and Zhang Luoyu's reaction told him he had done the right thing.
Zhang Luoyu had always harbored feelings for Wu Tao and had designs on him, but in the past, she was too proud to take that step.
Wu Tao has suddenly taken the initiative, and Zhang Luoyu is not only happy, but also no longer has to struggle with this decision.
From that day on, Zhang Luoyu fell completely in love with Wu Tao, and her heart was filled with nothing but his image.
Knowing that Wu Tao is currently busy starting his own business, the sensible Zhang Luoyu naturally wants to help him with logistics.
Every time Wu Tao comes over, Zhang Luoyu prepares meals in advance and makes soup for him to replenish his nutrition.
It has to be said that the older sister is indeed more sensible than the younger girl. Wu Tao is now enjoying the days he spends with Zhang Luoyu.
This is why Wu Tao remained calm and composed when facing Sun Leke. Sun Leke's investigation file did include Zhang Luoyu, but she didn't suspect them.
Sun Leke thought that Zhang Luoyu was twelve years older than Wu Tao, so the two of them definitely wouldn't have a relationship. Little did she know how lecherous and audacious Wu Tao was; it just goes to show that Sun Leke lacked some social knowledge.
Wu Tao and Zhang Luoyu's relationship gradually deepened over time. They were both very relaxed together, and neither of them mentioned the future or marriage.
Whenever they get together, besides doing things they enjoy, they talk about movies and TV series. Wu Tao also considers Zhang Luoyu's place a place to relax.
He has to be wary of too many people outside, but only here can Wu Tao truly feel relaxed and at ease.
Toutiao is growing too fast, almost expanding its scale every day. Even with Black Angel Investments injecting another $50 million, it's still a drop in the ocean compared to simultaneously launching in ten countries.
In addition, Wu Tao also knew that he could not go it alone. Black Angel Investment Company was just a front for him, and he had no other resources except money.
At this point, it is naturally necessary to bring in some powerful shareholders.
Wu Tao, President Julie, representatives from Goldman Sachs and Zhongxun, as well as representatives from a US company and a state-owned enterprise.
The four people sat together happily raising champagne to celebrate the successful cooperation. After a month of communication and negotiation, Toutiao finally attracted two more shareholders today.
This time, Toutiao was valued at one billion US dollars, with Wu Tao giving up 10% of the equity and Black Angel Investment Company giving up 20% of the equity.
Goldman Sachs and Zhongxun each acquired a 15% stake.
Wu Tao naturally received $100 million in cash, while Black Angel Investment Company took $200 million.
Meanwhile, the four shareholders injected another $300 million into Toutiao to expand its market.
Wu Tao needs to contribute 30 million US dollars according to his shareholding ratio, while Black Angel Investment Company needs to inject 180 million US dollars according to its 60% shareholding ratio.
Goldman Sachs and China Telecom each invested another $45 million in Toutiao.
After this investment, Wu Tao directly received 70 million US dollars in cash, which is worth 540 million RMB at an exchange rate of 1:7.2.
After deducting 20% personal income tax, Wu Tao found 403 million yuan in cash in his personal bank account.
This money is what Wu Tao can currently show for himself; he has already given his original three-bedroom apartment to Liu Ruyan.
Now, besides working overtime at the company, I go to Zhang Luoyu's house.
Wu Tao had wanted to buy a house for a long time, but he couldn't before.
Recently, housing prices in Jiangcheng have soared, with prices reaching 30,000 yuan per square meter, which has shocked many people.
Wu Tao directly bought a 1,000-square-meter villa in Longteng Manor, currently the best residential community in Jiangcheng.
Including the front and back yards, the property covers a total area of 2,000 square meters and is priced at 40 million RMB, which is nothing to Wu Tao.
They bought three cars: an SUV, a sedan, and a sports car.
The three cars cost Wu Tao ten million RMB, and the villa is fully furnished and ready to move in. So now Wu Tao and Zhang Luoyu are already in Wu Tao's new villa.
The villa has three floors, with a separate underground parking garage that can accommodate thirty cars. There is also a separate home theater and a gym.
The villa has a single-story area of over 300 square meters. The first floor has a living room, two dining rooms (one large and one small), a kitchen, four standard maid's rooms, a shared bathroom, and a laundry room.
The second floor has two master bedrooms, one guest bedroom, one study, and two children's rooms.
The three-story building has two master bedrooms and four guest bedrooms, for a total of twelve rooms.
Wu Tao directly asked the property management to help him find six nannies. The house is too big, including the front garden, the back pool, and the small basketball court, which definitely require a lot of people to take care of.
Six nannies can basically handle the household chores such as cleaning and laundry.
Two private chefs were hired to cook for Wu Tao, who had to pay them nearly 30,000 yuan a month.
Including daily expenses, Wu Tao needs about 100,000 yuan a month.
