Chapter 56: Chapter 53 Cloud Residence

Wuyou Media 10% equity?

Zhou Wang was a bit surprised; he thought the system would have dug up some tangible item, but it turned out to be the equity of a company.

Zhou Wang, a complete business novice, couldn’t help but open his phone to do some research, and after a while, he had a rough understanding.

First, regarding this “Wuyou Media,” the business registration information showed they mainly dealt in live streaming, short videos, e-commerce, artist brokerage, and so on. In short, it was a professional internet brokerage firm that had grown through MCN business.

The company’s registered location was in Magic City, but it had branches and offices in many first- and second-tier cities across the country, including Ming City.

When Zhou Wang saw this information, he realized this company was not simple, and checking further, he found its registered capital was as high as sixty million!

...

Registered capital was not the same as actual valuation, but generally, if a company was in an upward phase, its actual market value would far exceed the registered capital.

Even just from the registered capital perspective, the 10% equity Zhou Wang had was worth six million.

In terms of legal rights, 10% equity was precisely the threshold to become an important shareholder, holding this equity meant Zhou Wang had the right to call a temporary shareholders’ meeting, participate in company decisions, and had the right to flip the table when his interests were harmed.

“MCN… wait, I think I’ve seen the words ‘Wuyou Media’ somewhere.”

Something jogged Zhou Wang’s memory. He exited the browser, opened a certain Douyin app, found a certain influencer on his follow list, and sure enough, he saw the “Wuyou Media” certification on her homepage.

After a careful search, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but exclaim “damn.”

Under Wuyou Media was gathered most of the current top-tier artists in the short video industry, including Hua Suisui, Lin Dantong, Princess Yu Yao, Endme, and several other major influencers with tens of millions of fans.

Wuyou Media itself had repeatedly held the titles of “Top Short Video MCN” and “Top Ten Influential Livestreaming Agencies on Weibo.”

“Awesome.”

The adjective-deficient Zhou Wang could only express it this way.

Thinking about it, he didn’t hastily use this [Stock Exchange Certificate]; needless to say, it would interact with reality as well. Currently, Zhou Wang’s main focus was still on the second round, and he didn’t have the energy to deal with so many things for now.

…

When Zhou Wang returned to the courtyard, Zhang Zhiyuan immediately pulled him aside.

“Come, Zhou Wang, let me introduce you.”

Zhang Zhiyuan pointed to a smiling woman next to him and said, “This is Chen Shu, we usually call her Sister Shu. She is the owner of this ‘Cloud Residence.’”

“Zhou Wang, my buddy, a good guy.”

Zhang Zhiyuan introduced Zhou Wang briefly to Chen Shu. Although it sounded casual, Chen Shu, who was familiar with Zhang Zhiyuan’s character, took a good look at Zhou Wang’s face.

The biggest difference was that when Zhang Zhiyuan brought friends over for dinner, he never introduced others in this way.

“Nice to meet you, welcome.”

Chen Shu offered a slight smile and extended her hand to Zhou Wang.

“Sister Shu, hello.”

Zhou Wang sized up the excellently graceful beautiful woman in front of him.

She seemed to be around thirty, wearing a black knit top paired with a white high-waist long skirt, flesh-colored stockings wrapped her slender ankles, stepping on a pair of nude pink high heels. Her whole body exuded a sense of light maturity, belonging to the type Zhou Wang had almost never encountered.

“Zhou Wang, if you find the taste good, you can support Sister Shu’s business more often in the future… Oh, I forgot; never mind, consider I didn’t say anything.”

Zhang Zhiyuan stopped halfway, patting his head.

“What happened?” asked Zhou Wang, confused.

“With Sister Shu’s place being so popular, you might not even get a spot to support it sometimes!”

Zhang Zhiyuan sighed.

“Young Master Zhang, are you deliberately teasing me?”

Chen Shu gave Zhang Zhiyuan a charming sidelong glance, then smiled at Zhou Wang, “As long as Young Master Zhou is willing to come, I guarantee there’s always a place for you.”

“There, Sister Shu, you said it yourself. I’m the witness… So Zhou Wang, it seems I’ll have to drag you along if I want to eat here in the future!”

Zhang Zhiyuan shrugged and laughed, feigning helplessness.

“As long as you treat me, I have no objection.”

Zhou Wang laughed, but inwardly he was increasingly impressed. These second-generation rich kids were indeed not simple; Young Master Zhang had the unique straightforwardness common to people from the Northeast, but he was also very thoughtful. A few words managed to flatter Sister Shu while also giving Zhou Wang enough face, flawless.

“Then you guys have your tea first; I’ll go greet other guests.”

After some chatting and laughter, Chen Shu exchanged contact information with Zhou Wang and then gracefully left.

It was only then that Zhang Zhiyuan leaned closer to Zhou Wang and whispered, “This Sister Shu isn’t simple. She used to be someone’s woman of importance.”

Smart people didn’t need much elaboration, and Zhou Wang understood immediately.

He could actually tell that Zhang Zhiyuan didn’t really treat her as just an ordinary restaurant owner, which might be the real reason why Zhang Zhiyuan introduced her to him.

Whether it was due to a specific reminder from Chen Shu or not, the serving speed was quick. Half an hour later, a table full of beautifully colored, aromatic, and delicious dishes was ready.

Most were regional specialties, but there were a few different ones as well.

“Brother, you have to try this ‘Jasmine Crispy Chicken,’ it tastes really great!”

Su Yajing, who sat next to Zhou Wang, placed a piece of chicken still adorned with flower stamen into Zhou Wang’s bowl, presenting it like a treasure.

“This dish is one of the signature dishes of the Peace Hotel in Magic City. The head chef of ‘Cloud Residence’ used to work there.”

As Zhou Wang tasted it, Zhang Zhiyuan introduced with a smile.

“The taste is indeed good.”

Zhou Wang nodded in satisfaction.

It’s not that it provided a tastebud-shocking pleasure, but it was comfortable enough to eat.

“Why hasn’t the wine come up yet?”

Brother Tu frowned at this point.

“Here it is.”

Zhou Yiquan, sharp-eyed, saw the waiter approaching with two bottles in wooden boxes.

“Huh, didn’t we order the Flying Maotai? This is…”

“This is upon the boss’s instructions, to thank everyone for your continued support. The price is according to the normal Flying rate.”

The waiter explained with a smile.

“This must be Maotai’s Little Wood Treasure; it’s been a long time since I drank this. Thank Sister Shu for us.”

Zhang Zhiyuan took the wine and seeing Zhou Wang’s curious face, handed the bottle to him.

“Little Wood Treasure is considered the first generation high-end Maotai wine, rare before there were vintage wines.”

“How much does this wine cost?”

Zhou Wang didn’t pretend to know, asking straightforwardly.

“It’s roughly four to five thousand now; two bottles are quite a bit more expensive than Flying. Zhou Wang, we’re benefiting from your presence.”

Zhang Zhiyuan jokingly said.

“Indeed, we didn’t get such a deal before!”

Brother Tu laughed heartily as well.

Aside from a few women, of course, no one here would mind a few thousand bucks. Zhou Wang knew they were intentionally boosting him, so he simply smiled without responding.

The guys drank white wine, and the women drank red wine. After pouring, Shen Yutong, who hadn’t said much, suddenly stood up holding a wine glass. Somewhat nervously, she said,

“Young Master Zhou, um… I’d like to toast you.”
