“If I were you?” Upon hearing Mu Tie"s words, Ling Xiaoyi was stunned for a while. Then, she muttered to herself, “The internet cake is too large, one person can"t finish it alone for sure. Mr. Mu, what you mean is that you"re planning to cut it and split it up?

“Hahahahaha!” Mu Tie roared with laughter. “No wonder they all say that Ling Xiaoyi alone can handle half the empire of a large company. You do have keen eyesight.”

As he said that, he stood up and placed his hands at his back as he walked around the room, saying asked he walked, “Correct, your Hong Family or the Liu Family, this cake is too large, one person definitely can"t finish it on his own. Whether it"s my Mu Family, your Hong Family or the Liu Family, n.o.body can finish the cake in one bite. So, the purpose of me coming here today is to split this cake up.”

Oh my G.o.d! After hearing Mu Tie"s words, Ling Xiaoyi was instantly stunned.

This Mu Tie"s appet.i.te seemed rather big! He came to talk about a collaboration today, then about eating the cake, could it be…

“Mr. Mu, what you mean is,” Ling Xiaoyi cautiously asked, “You"re planning to work with our Hong Family and the Liu Family in splitting up the internet market?”

“Yes.” Mu Tie nodded. “Our Mu Family views our liquid funds as the king. Your Hong Family has a hold over 80% of the internet IP site traffic. That old fellow Liu Yihui"s Turkey Software, on the other hand, has grabbed hold of the largest resources of loyal users. Anyone of our three families could be said to be the absolute king in this field, and n.o.body would be able to compete head-on with us. However, it"s entirely impossible for any family alone to eat this huge internet cake whole. Because the other two families will definitely not sit back and do nothing about it.

“Therefore, I came here today to search for possibilities of collaboration.”

Mu Tie said this firmly, and Ling Xiaoyi listened till her heart beat rapidly. She thought for a while and suddenly asked, “But Mr. Mu, I"m only a lackey beside Young Master. You coming to me for such a big matter… isn"t it a little…”

Though she hadn"t finished speaking, what she meant was very obvious.

My status definitely has not reached yours. You can find Master Hong Weiguo about this matter or directly find Liu Yihui of the Liu Family, but your coming here to find such a lowly lackey like me, this… Isn"t this too undependable?

However, what Ling Xiaoyi didn"t expect was that Mu Tie actually nodded his head with absolute certainty. “I can"t find either Hong Weiguo or Liu Yihui about this matter. I can only find either you or Hong Dali!”

Why did he say this?

Ling Xiaoyi anxiously asked, “What Mr. Mu means is that this plan will benefit Young Master?”

“There"ll be benefits, there"ll absolutely be benefits.” Mu Tie nodded his head with absolute certainty. “I won"t waste time to find you for things that aren"t beneficial to him. I trust that you should be able to understand this point.”

That was true. What kind of figure was Mu Tie? Definitely the type of person who earned hundreds of thousands within a minute. It would definitely be impossible for him to come and play around with her because he was bored. Thinking up to this point, Ling Xiaoyi calmed herself down and asked, “En. Then Mr. Mu, what you mean is our Young Master"s ability is already so exaggeratingly high that it"s able to allow our three families to join forces?”

“Haha, that"s right.” Mu Tie sat on the sofa and said, “Xiaoyi, let me ask you a simple question. If this piece of cake is split into a hundred pieces, how would the shares be split between our three families if we were to collaborate?”

“This…” Ling Xiaoyi really couldn"t calculate it and shook her head. “It will never be equal no matter what. There would definitely be one party that would get that little bit more than the rest.”

“Correct.” Mu Tie nodded. “With regards to our three families, any family that gets just a little bit more shares would cause the decision-making authority to be slanted. This is not a good thing, and moreover, the problem lies in that none of our three families would concede to the other two parties. I"ve heard about the incident with Liu Family"s Liu Zhongyuan, Old Master Liu. Currently, the Liu Family can be said to be in very friendly terms with your Hong Family, but its relations.h.i.+p is just ordinary with our Mu Family. So, if this cake is split into a hundred pieces, if the Hong Family gets 34%, our Mu Family and the Liu Family will get 33%. The Liu Family will not object to that, but do you think I won"t mind?”

“No.” Upon hearing what he said, Ling Xiaoyi resolutely shook her head. “A person of the same status will definitely not be willing to give up the decision-making authority. I"m certain of this.”

“Correct.” Mu Tie roared with laughter. “That"s why I said that only Hong Dali can solve this issue! And only he is the most suitable candidate. If it were others, it wouldn"t work out!”

This time, Ling Xiaoyi had gotten the hang of it. “Mr. Mu, what you mean is to let Young Master take one percent of the shares? In that case, your Mu Family, our Hong Family, and the Liu Family will split it equally into 33% each?”

So agitated! Speaking up to this point, Ling Xiaoyi was really agitated. The three families splitting up this internet cake equally, how big a matter was that. It wasn"t an overstatement to say that this was something that involved billions and tens of billions. She didn"t expect that such a small figure like herself would be able to partic.i.p.ate in this!

This was something she didn"t even dare to think of usually, and now it actually happened before her eyes in reality.

Ling Xiaoyi only felt that there seemed to be something like a little deer running around in her heart, as it beat rapidly. It"s all because of Young Master that she"d gotten such an opportunity! Other things aside, she was already completely content with her entire life!

“Haha, Miss Xiaoyi is a smart person.” Mu Tie chuckled. “Indeed, talking to smart people makes things more convenient.”

As he spoke, he took a small knife and made a cut on the cake. As he cut it, he said, “Xiaoyi, look, the first 33% of this cake that I"ve cut first belongs to the Hong Family.” As he said about cutting 33%, he really cut only just as much. Afterward, he said, “I"ll make one more cut on what"s left over and cut it into half. This piece belongs to me and the Liu Family. As for the last remaining one,” Mu Tie pointed to the tiny piece in the middle of the plate. “That"s Dali"s.”

“But…” Ling Xiaoyi thought for a while, then suddenly asked, “But in that case, our Hong Family will still get 34%, right?”

“Yes.” Mu Tie nodded. “It appears to be so on the surface, but in fact, that"s not really the case. I"ve observed that child Dali in detail. He has very good moral quality and is very kind. Most importantly, he doesn"t have much ambition. Yet, he has many good ideas. I"m definitely a.s.sured about putting this one percent of the cake into his hands.”

After he spoke, Mu Tie chuckled. “Had it been someone else, I wouldn"t agree to it.”

Looking at his sinister laugh, Ling Xiaoyi knew that things were definitely not that simple.

Blatantly saying, someone who could run their business to Mu Tie"s level would definitely not say things like “Young man, I like you, come and work with me and I"ll give you one percent of the shares”. To him, he wouldn"t even consider a 1 million investment that didn"t have at least 2 million and above of returns—someone who handled up to hundreds of thousands every minute, why would he have that spare time to play around with you?

However, now, someone with such status had taken the initiative to come here personally and spoken about his plans to form an alliance with the three families, then split up the shares equally between each family. For the extra one percent, he would directly give it to Hong Dali. Such a good thing wasn"t as simple as it seemed.

Ling Xiaoyi herself wasn"t a fool. However, her intelligence lay in how she wouldn"t ask straight to the point about many things. Instead, she thought carefully about it. She didn"t know what plots or schemes the other party was planning to carry out. What she considered was only about whether this matter would pose any harm to the Hong Family and Hong Dali.

Fortunately, at the present moment, she didn"t observe any major problems. Of course, what was most important for now was what that one percent that Hong Dali actually meant.

“Mr. Mu,” Ling Xiaoyi pointed towards that small piece of cake and gently asked, “You"re very clear about the relations.h.i.+p dynamics in our Hong Family. Now, I only wish to know about what our Young Master needs to give and what he can gain by taking this piece of cake.”

“Very important?” Mu Tie smiled. “You must know?”

“Yes,” Ling Xiaoyi firmly said. “I believe that the exact prospects would be good. But what I"m concerned about is only what benefits Young Master"s share would bring him.” Speaking up to this point, Ling Xiaoyi slowly said, “I"m Young Master"s lackey. So, I will consider everything in Young Master"s standpoint.”

“Haha, good!” Mu Tie fiercely slapped his thigh. “His underlings are already like this. This really makes me more and more interested in this Hong Dali!”

After praising Hong Dali, Mu Tie slowly continued, “Looks like if I fail to convince you, you"ll definitely not partic.i.p.ate in the matter regarding the alliance between our three families, right?”

“Yes.” Ling Xiaoyi nodded without the slightest hesitation. “If you can"t convince me, I"ll definitely not make any decisions on Young Master"s behalf.”

“En, I"ll explain it to you then.” Mu Tie lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, before saying, “Dali is very lucky. I"ve studied into it for a long time, and I"ve realized that not only is he lucky, anyone who works with him will become lucky as well. Actually, in the business sector, luck is not very important. But if luck is coupled with valuable ideas, then it"ll be truly great.

“Dali has always had ideas that would bring lots of money. Other people say that he"s a squanderer, but what I see is not the case. He is a very playful person, and his ideas, more often than not, were all discovered while playing. So that one percent of shares that I"m giving him means that he doesn"t have to take out a single cent nor do anything special. He only needs to continue as before, and play carefreely every day. He can play however he likes, and squander and waste money however he wants to!

“My only request is to let all three of our families know of any valuable ideas he comes up with. And in response to this, our three families in this big internet cake will invest 2 billion in the preliminary stage. Every family takes 33% of the shares, and this portion of funds will all be used to develop those things that Dali wants to start up.

“Miss Xiaoyi, think about it.” Mu Tie shrugged. “If all of you didn"t treat his ideas as random fun things to start up, it would originally have a profit of 1000%. But because it wasn"t emphasized upon enough, it instead became 200% or 300%. Isn"t it such a waste?”
