The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 112

112 Simmons to Zhong Cheng’s Satisfaction
The instant he received the court summons, Bradley Wilson’s anger instantly spread from his caudal vertebra to the Heavenly Spirit Cap, causing his entire body to boil with lava and his soul to leave his body.

Angry! Too irritating!

I’m really angry!

Bradley Wilson glared fiercely at Zhong Cheng’s photograph, almost casting a mysterious ancient spell on Zhong Cheng’s photograph, of course if he could!

Bradley Wilson had always thought that Zhong Cheng was merely threatening him. He never thought that Zhong Cheng would actually be serious. This damn madman, Roja, actually dared to sue the media. Doesn’t this guy want the media to catch him and hack him for a long time? To make him never be safe?

Bradley Wilson seemed to have forgotten that even if Zhong Cheng didn’t have so many, he would still cling onto Zhong Cheng and frantically blacken Zhong Cheng.

And Bradley Wilson had two good helpers, Gerald Krasner and Kevin Blackwell.

Bradley Wilson glared fiercely at Zhong Cheng’s photo and gritted his teeth. “Alright, Madman Loria, are you going to die with me? Alright, just wait for me. I will make you lose your reputation and die a terrible death!”

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng did not have the mood to think about how Bradley Wilson would react. To tell the truth, he really did not have the time to pay attention to this matter.

Now, Zhong Cheng had many things to do. He had to prepare for the league in three days’ time against the second-ranked Ipswich. On the other hand, he had to deal with his own personal matters, such as business matters. He was planning to set up a business empire. Of course, it was a business empire that was still in its infancy.

This match against Ipswich was very important. This match, Leeds United had already lost five consecutive matches, so this match naturally could not be lost again!

In this match, Leeds United had a reason to win!

Zhong Cheng hoped to use this match to end Leeds United’s successive defeats and stop the team’s downward trend. If Leeds United continued to lose, they would not only be far away from the leveling up zone, but also lose their confidence. What else can Leeds do this season if they lose confidence?

Zhong Cheng’s current goal was to lead the team to defeat Ipswich!

At this time, Andy Simmons, Zhong’s business assistant, brought back good news. The founder of Facebook agreed to accept Zhong Cheng’s investment. Zhong Cheng could invest $1.2 million for a 20% stake in Facebook.

Facebook was founded in February by Mark Zuckerberg, a social networking app he co-founded with two small partners, Andrew Moskovitz and Eduardo Saverin, and is now called The Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg now owns 65% of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin 30% and Andrew Moskowitz 5%.

Because the software was developed by Mark Zuckerberg, who is the largest shareholder, Eduardo Saverin has a 35% stake in it because he knows how to turn products into money, and Andrew Moskowitz has contributed to increasing the number of users.

So Andy Simmons was originally looking for Eduardo Saverin, because that’s what he’s busy with, and Facebook continues to ask for money, and even Eduardo Saverin is going to look for venture capital.

In Zhong’s memory, Facebook was supposed to receive an angel investment from Peter Tier, one of PayPal’s founders. The guy should have bought a 10% stake in Facebook for $500,000 in September.

Could it be that the world had changed because of his intervention?

Perhaps thanks to his business assistant, Andy Simmons, Zhong Cheng invested £ 1. 2m in a 20 per cent stake in the future Internet business giant.

Don’t underestimate the 20% stake, Zhong Cheng instantly became Facebook’s third-largest shareholder.

After the deal, Facebook’s share allocation will be 50% for Mark Zuckerberg, 25% for Eduardo Saverin, 20% for Zhong Cheng and 5% for Andrew Moskowitz.

Now that $1.2 million has taken a 20% stake in Facebook, this is definitely a big profit, because in the future, Facebook will become the fifth most valuable brand in the world, and will even surpass Microsoft in terms of value …

In the future, Zhong Cheng would only count the money and get a cramp in his hand!

Of course, Zhong Cheng also knew that Facebook would accept the second and third rounds of venture capital in the future. With this foresight, Zhong Cheng would definitely not let go of this opportunity to obtain more shares.

The reason Zhong Cheng was able to defeat Peter Thiel of the United States was because Zhong Cheng’s bid was higher, and Zhong Cheng promised that he would not interfere with Mark Zuckerberg and the others’ operation and construction of Facebook. All he needed to do was to be a shopkeeper.

Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with Andy Simmons’ efficiency. This guy was very capable.

That day, accompanied by Andy Simmons, Zhong Cheng met with the three founders of Facebook. After detailed discussions, they finally signed a contract. Only then did Zhong Cheng truly become the third largest shareholder of Facebook!

After signing the contract, Zhong Cheng invited Mark Zuckerberg and the others to a local five-star hotel in Leeds. He originally wanted them to have a good time in Leeds and let them go to see Leeds’ match on the weekend. However, these fellows were now full of energy. They didn’t want to stay any longer and flew straight back to the United States.

–Division Line–

After settling Facebook, Zhong Cheng was very satisfied.

Zhong Cheng also passed the test for Andy Simmons. This fellow did a good job and was very capable. Zhong Cheng was prepared to leave the matter of the 2020 Thorpe Electric Razor to Andy Simmons.

Because Zhong Cheng knew that although Facebook was very lucrative, it would be a long time before he could quench his thirst.

Zhong Cheng now had to establish his own other industries. The coal mines in China had already started to make money, and the speed of making money was very fast. However, this was not enough. This was still far from Zhong Cheng’s business empire’s plan.

Zhong Cheng still had a lot of things to do, one was to buy shares in Tencent, the other was to interfere in China’s domestic real estate industry, the third was to set foot in China’s entertainment industry, and the fourth was to set up his own electric razor business.

Zhong Cheng looked at Andy Simmons and said, “Andy, you did well this time!”

Andy Simmons said, “Thank you, boss!”

Zhong Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “Andy, there are two things you need to do next. One is to buy shares in Tencent in China, and the other is to buy an electric razor factory in England. Do you understand?”

Andy Simone was puzzled. What was Zhong Cheng doing?

He didn’t know what Tencent was, but he knew electric razors very well, and he usually used them himself. There are a lot of electric razor companies in this world, and many of these companies already control this market. Isn’t it unwise for Zhong Cheng to enter now?

Zhong Cheng saw through Andy Simmons’ worries and said directly, “You can do whatever you want. I have plans for other things!”

Although Andy Simmons was puzzled, he still nodded and said, “Good boss, I will finish these two things as soon as possible!”

Zhong Cheng signaled Andy Simmons to hurry up. Andy Simmons said goodbye to Zhong Cheng before turning around and leaving.

Looking at Andy Simmons’ back, Zhong Cheng nodded.

Yes, Zhong Cheng thought about whether he would be ready to take over the electric razor industry, rewarding his own brand, rather than using technology to invest in other companies.

Since he had the skills and money, why didn’t he do it himself?

And he has a big advantage, that is, he has a very high reputation, now who in England does not know him Madman Loria?

In terms of publicity, he had a unique advantage!

Zhong Cheng firmly believed that as long as there were no problems in production, his electric razor business would definitely be a hit!

–Division Line–

At this moment, Zhong Cheng was still wondering if he was going to enter the suit industry.

Zhong Cheng wore a suit every time he played on the sidelines. Now, many top suits companies had found Zhong Cheng’s life assistant, Julia Oliveira, and invited him to endorse him.

Didn’t he see Zhong Cheng’s fame and perfect figure?

Zhong Cheng was a natural clothing rack, a mobile advertisement, which attracted countless people to follow and buy?

However, Zhong Cheng did not have such technology. If he wanted to buy some suits, he would definitely only be able to buy some low-end suits. This was because a top-notch family would definitely not make a move. The middle-end price would definitely be very high. What was the use of buying low-end suits?

Zhong Cheng did not have the technology to make high-end suits, so it was naturally impossible for him to handle this matter like he did with the 2020 Thorpe Electric Razor.

At this time, Zhong Cheng was still considering it.

However, many suits companies are eager to have Zhong Cheng as their spokesperson. It is said that many representatives of enterprises have come to Leeds United and are preparing to contact Zhong Cheng.

All of this was reported in the English media, and they all claimed that the world’s top suits brands had come to offer an olive branch to Zhong Cheng, hoping to invite him to endorse them.

This caused the English media reporters to howl. These damn suits brands were too insightless. They actually took a fancy to this lunatic. This was simply courting their own death. Find Madman Loria to endorse, this is completely discrediting their own brand!

The outside world was very hot. Countless people were discussing this matter and expressing their opinions. Some were puzzled, some were jealous, and some were pleasantly surprised to support …

Zhong Cheng did not think much about this matter at the moment. Firstly, no one had actually come into contact with him. Secondly, Zhong Cheng had put all of his energy into this upcoming tournament.

At this time, Zhong Cheng took Leeds United to Ipswich, Suffolk, in the east of England to challenge Ipswich, who is now second in the Champions League.

Ipswich was founded early in 1878, but it took 58 years for them to move from amateur to professional. They won an English Premier League title, an FA Cup title and a Europa League title.

Ipswich was relegated to the Premier League in the 2001-02 season and relegated to the second division. Last season, they entered the leveling-up playoffs. Unfortunately, they were defeated in the end. This season, they have made a comeback. Now, their results are very good.

Now that they are second in the Champions League, it is clear that their goal is to upgrade and this is definitely a direct rival to Leeds United. This was a six-point game for Leeds United.
