Chapter 432 - ArtWorld's Fame

But it was not a bad news. The opening ceremony for ArtWorld was covered and doc.u.mented by SHM.

Thus, the netizens who could not come turned to the live broadcast to take a peek at this supposedly one of the greatest amus.e.m.e.nt parks in the world.

After all, based on the hearsay, this was designed to surpass the leading amus.e.m.e.nt parks in other countries, with state-of-the-art facilities.

Old Xiong arrived earlier on time.

He was already sitting at the front row inside the biggest events hall of ArtWorld. Beside him was the director of Land Co. and Mr. Bang, the sole contributor of ArtWorld.

(A/n: The director of Land Co. was the former owner of Land Co. Xiong Zhi bought shares of Land Co and become a co-owner when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. She then hired the owner as a director of Land Co. The huge land from ArtWorld was from Land Co. Refer to ArtWorld arc. Mr. Bang is the designer/lead architect/creator of ArtWorld. )

Beside Mr. Bang were the eight major investors of ArtWorld. They were feeling very emotional today.

At first, because the Young Miss of the Xiong family somewhat threatened them before giving them a carrot, they only planned to contribute in the first phase of investment, but who would know that they would cling to this project until the end and manage to build it?

This was the first time Old Xiong met the investors behind ArtWorld.

He was the one who gave the list of investors to his granddaughter as a trial. He knew these investors were capable but were tough nuts to crack.

Yet despite it, his granddaughter miraculously managed to rope them in and even made them stay all this time until the completion of the project.

Old Xiong suddenly got curious how his granddaughter made these fickle investors stay. So, after greetings and handshakes, he asked the investor nearest to him, Yin An.

"I could not believe that Mr. Yin An, who was famous for being a meticulous investor, actually invested in a small company like IHZHI."

In reality, IHZHI was not small anymore, but compared to the business empires and conglomerates that Yin An usually invested in, IHZHI was truly a small fry.

Yin An laughed, "Master Xiong was too modest. Your granddaughter has great abilities, more than enough to make me stay."

Old Xiong perked his ears up.

Yin An: ???

Why did the old man appear like he wanted him to say more?

The keen Yin An decided to add some details. "At first, my co-investors and I only planned to invest enough for the initial phase of the project, invest in their other more promising projects, and take the profit of the deal after the first month.

"But who knew that IHZHI exceeded my expectations in a month? All the projects they invested in skyrocketed in value. They made no mistakes. So we decided to observe more and stay. If IHZHI is still doing good, we will continue to invest."

His co-partners, Er Bing, and San Chin also decided to take part in the conversation as well.

(A/n: These investors had quite an introduction in chapter 106)

These were good days after all.

"Ah, after evaluating their performance and results, we saw great potential in IHZHI. Their incredibly good performance made us more assured with this ArtWorld project. We decided to become not just contractual investors and became a longtime partner. A company which always turn projects into a success and triple the profits, it's every investor's dream."

Old Xiong proudly smiled. His granddaughter truly won these investors over.

His granddaughter was really talented! As expected of his chosen heiress!

Yin An: "...."?The old Master seemed satisfied now.

Suddenly, Qi Hier chimed in.

"Really? I thought you all are here because of Young Miss Xiong Zhi's underhanded methods?"

Qi Hier was threatened by Xiong Zhi with his secret relationship with King Yan. He was still upset about it. However, since he saw the great ability of IHZHI and the massive potential of ArtWorld under their hands during this period of time, he decided to stay.

After all, he was also an investor. An investor would always had an itch whenever he saw an extremely promising project. But that did not mean he was willing to shower Xiong Zhi with compliments and flowers.

(A/N: He was the guy who got caught having a same-s.e.x relationship in a gay bar. Refer chapter 140-141)

(E/N: (つ?ω?)つ Yummy….)

The three fell silent.

In fact, they had some doubts about ArtWorld initially and had previously wanted to invest in their other option, the ghost project that SC had asked them to invest.

They only knew about it in second month when SC pulled out the project and compensated them. That was rare for SC since this company had never made a mistake before as a credible company. The timing of them pulling out coincided with the timing of the end of the deal with the Young Miss.

Thus, they had suspicions that the two companies worked together to make them stay.

However, they could not find the connections between the two.

But it no longer mattered to them right now as they were very happy and relieved that they stayed to become part of the growing company.

At the side, Wu Er who was silently listening, also spoke.

"I don't know what you mean by the 'underhanded methods' you speak of, but the Young Miss helped me a lot. The deal she gave me is very advantageous to me. Because of her, my innocent brother got out of jail. That is a huge debt I owe her."

(A/n: Wu Er made a deal with Xiong Zhi before. Bivia Chang and Han Duo helped Wu Er to prove his brother's innocence and they've won. Refer chapter 142)

(E/N: Author, seriously, the names you've thought of… )

Old Xiong looked at Wu Er in surprise.

There was even a deal like that?

It seemed like his granddaughter had been very creative with her methods, as if every approach was designed depending on these people's personalities.

It was quite effective, given that she even managed to rope in a loyal investor this time.

He finally glanced at the remaining man who did not share his experience dealing with his granddaughter.

His old eyes were inquisitive, wanting the man to share his story as well.

The smiling man, Liu Fung, received the old man's persistent stare.

He sweated a bit. 'What does this old man want?'

The old man slightly furrowed his brows and grew impatient.

"How about you, young man. What's your story?"

"Eh?"

Old Xiong: This man really wanted him to say it, right?

"How did my granddaughter get to tie you down?"

Liu Fung was not really interested in the conversations between the investors and the old man.

Besides, if it was him, he should have pulled out after investing in the first phase and get his 5% interest back. However, his boss Lu Jin told him to continue investing and see to it until the end.

(A/n: Liu Fung story refer to chapter 143-145)

But why?

Liu Fung could not understand why.

The two were practically enemies.

What was his boss's motive?

Liu Fung smiled awkwardly.

He simply copied Yin An's answer.

"I saw a huge potential in IHZHI. Also, whether ArtWorld fails or not, according to the agreement, I will only get benefits from IZHI. I have nothing to lose so I continued investing in ArtWorld."

Old Xiong stared at this man, not quite satisfied with his answer.

In fact, his rich experience and sharp senses found that this man seemed to be hiding something.

But then, every investor had their own share of secrets.
