Wolong Tang, Gu Clan's old mansion.
Gu Tianyou sat on the sofa and put his foot on the mahogany coffee table. He was looking at the TV in disarray. Occasionally, he glanced at the courtyard and saw that Geng Jianjun was busy cleaning up. Ever since he returned from a visit to Qinzhou Prison the day before yesterday, this Uncle Geng had followed Miao Shifan 's instructions and had always been by Tianyou's side.
Gu Tianyou had always been curious about who was attacking and who was receiving when Miao Shifan and Geng Jianjun were together. Thinking of the scene of two middle-aged uncles staring affectionately through the visiting window, Gu Tianyou wanted to throw this question out. But every time he met Geng Jianjun's cold eyes, he couldn't ask anything.
Geng Jianjun 's eyes were very distinctive. They were more white and less black. His pupils contracted like beans, typical of a cobra's eyes. In the words of the old man, this kind of person was naturally cold and would not be moved easily. Killing people was like killing chickens and slaughtering dogs.
"Uncle, I'm not in such a mess here, am I? You haven't been busy enough these past two days?" Gu Tianyou held back his thoughts and deliberately opened the chat box. He raised his voice and asked, "When do you plan to go to Haizhou with me?"
Geng Jianjun was feeding the dog. These three big dogs were raised by Gu Tianyou since he was young. Back then, they were raised to guard the house and reduce trouble. In order to maintain the vigilance and territorial awareness of the dogs, they were rarely taken out for a walk. Normally, it can be said that strangers do not approach. It was strange that in front of Geng Jianjun, Laizhou Hong, who had caused the teeth of many youths in Wolong Pond to itch, had completely lost her previous fierceness. The first time they met, they had their tails between their legs and didn't dare to make any mistakes.
"I'm busy. Just watch your TV." Geng Jianjun put down the dog food and continued to clean the dog kennel. After working for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I've been observing you for two days. There are some things that I don't quite understand."
Gu Tianyou said, "Didn't I tell you? I definitely know everything about you. If you don't understand, just ask."
"Remember that you told me that you wanted to help this village revive the Wolong Pond's business. It was also for this reason that you came to me and Afan."
"Yes, that's right."
"I have stayed with you for two days. From what I have seen, you are very popular in the village. They smile at you mostly out of perfunctoriness or fear."
"There are indeed not many people who treat me sincerely. Perhaps there are only two in total. One is already dead, and the other is studying in the provincial capital."
Geng Jianjun said suspiciously, "So you decided to do this for these two people?"
Gu Tianyou said calmly, "Isn't this enough?"
Geng Jianjun said, "Although I don't understand business, I can still imagine how difficult it is!"
"En!" Gu Tianyou said, "It is very difficult, but men do things and do not do anything. As long as they feel that it is worth doing, what do you think?"
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said, "If you really are such a person, I would probably be willing to help you."
Gu Tianyou spread out his hand and smiled, "The road knows the horsepower. As time goes on, you will naturally know that sometimes I am not as smart as you think."
"Find out about You Beiwang and stop the Haizhou Group from buying Wolongtang's assets. Verify the economic dispute between Yutai Group and Wolongtang four years ago. It won't be easy." After cleaning up the kennel, Geng Jianjun washes his hands and says, "Remember what you told me yesterday. In order to find You Beiwang, you asked a policeman named Dai Xiaolou for help."
Gu Tianyou said, "Dai Xiaolou is capable and principled, In particular, "This person's EQ is very high. He has principles, but he doesn't abuse them. He is very human when it's time to talk about favors. Therefore, over the past twenty years, he has accumulated a lot of connections in his circle. I've arranged that for a few years. The public security bureau really has a few reliable friends, but neither Zhao Yajun nor Lin Xuedong are as good as him."
" You Beiwang and the money have been missing for four years. You said that this matter is not simple. If there is a bigger person behind the disappearance of the money, then this You Beiwang is probably just a scapegoat. How can you be sure that this person is still alive?"
"So I need Dai Xiaolou to help me determine if this person is still alive. If he dies, where did that money go? How did he die? He can always find something by following the vine. Let me tell you, it's not important for Dai Xiaolou to find You Beiwang. The important thing is that I want to see who will jump out after he stirs it up like this."
"So that's not what you're looking for."
"When I came here four years ago, Gu Yufei was already terminally ill. In addition to leaving me the three million, He never told me anything about the Wolong Pond, but he later left me all the shares of the Wolong Pond in his name. At that time, I was only sixteen years old. I was not qualified as a legal person, so I could not exercise my legal rights. As a result, the assets of the Wolong Pond were frozen. Although the value of the property was shrinking, the basic scale was retained."
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"For a while, I thought that this was just his plan to buy two years for the Wolong Pond. It wasn't until these two years that I realized that he wanted me to save the Wolong Pond for him."
"How can I see it?"
"I have lived in this village for four years. In the first two years, I was pushed out very badly. Everyone said that Su Xiazhu hated me to the bone. She wished she could kill me quickly, but I am still alive and well." Gu Tianyou explained, "It's not because I'm strong, it's because they haven't done anything."
Wolongtang village has three major surnames, Gu, Fang, Xue. Back then, the three ancestors were originally Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals. After their defeat, they came here and saw that Feng Shui's situation was extraordinary and knew that the general situation was over, so they stayed here to reproduce. Gradually forming the village of today. Generations of marriages have left the whole village more or less intimate with each other. Gu Yufei had said nothing in the village back then, but his influence still remained undiminished today.
Back then, I was only sixteen years old, and no matter how powerful I was, I was still limited. If Big Head Fang really wanted to make things easier for me, it would be as easy as turning his palm. But he didn't do anything. Gu Yufei didn't specifically ask me to do anything, but he gave me the three million yuan and made careful arrangements for my future life. In these four years, I was able to stay here and adapt to the society. I grew up quietly in constant thinking. I couldn't do without his arrangements, so I owed him.
Gu Tianyou stood up and found a bottle of wine in the cabinet. He poured two cups full.
Geng Jianjun shook his head and said, "I don't drink at all."
Gu Tianyou picked up a cup and gulped it down."I was born in prison. I was three years old and didn't have a mother. I finally found my father. We didn't even have time to call him." At this point, he drank up another cup and continued, "It's nonsense to say how deeply you feel about him. However, when a person lives, grass grows and autumn grows, there must be a source. The Gu Clan of Wolong Pond is my source. One day, I will leave this place. Before I leave, I want to pay back what I owe this place."
"I will definitely take revenge for your kindness. I agree with your idea." Geng Jianjun said, "It shouldn't be difficult for him to ask A Fan to help prevent the Haizhou Group from acquiring the Wolong Pond's assets, but even if you block the Haizhou Group, Su Xiazhu can still find other buyers to accept the offer."
"When did I say that I asked Mr. Miao for help in order to prevent Haizhou Holdings from buying Su Xiazhu's shares?"
"Then why did you ask him to find Miao Ruolin?"
"Just like you said, after the Haizhou Group withdraws, Su Xiazhu can find other buyers. The best way to prevent the Wolong Pond from being sidelined is for me to pay for it myself. Therefore, I intend to inject some money into the Wolong Pond through the Haizhou Group."
"I'm doing this to preserve the Wolong Pond signboard." Gu Tianyou continued, "Haizhou Holdings under Miao Ruolin 's control has been in the business of purchasing, reorganizing, and optimizing sales for the past few years. She planned to split up and optimize the Wolong Pond before selling it at a higher price. However, this way, the Wolong Pond sign will no longer exist. Gu Yufei 's lifetime of hard work has completely changed his name. I think he would definitely be unhappy if he was still alive."
Because of the lawsuit that he lost four years ago, serious problems have arisen in the capital chain of Wolongtang, As a result, they were heavily indebted. Now that they were on the verge of bankruptcy, they had no choice but to divest their debts and sell them to Haizhou Group. Their original plan was that after the acquisition was completed, Su Xiazhu could use Haizhou Group's money to repay their debts in case of emergency. Haizhou Group could then sell Wolongtang for arbitrage after restructuring its assets. Gu Tianyou interfered in this matter because he planned to buy the Wolong Pond and operate it in cooperation with Haizhou Holdings.
"Not only do you want to preserve the Wolong Tang signboard for the Gu Family, you also intend to overturn the lawsuit four years ago and help Wolong Tang get rid of its heavy debts." Geng Jianjun was a little taken aback as he stared at Gu Tianyou's young face. This face was truly too young, and it was so beautiful that it looked like a woman.
" Uncle Geng, I've already told you everything that needs to be said. You should be able to go to Haizhou with me now, right?"
............
It was raining all the time, and the atmosphere wasn't very harmonious.
Miao Ruolin sat opposite the conference table. Her pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were staring fixedly at the young man opposite her.
This little girl looked at how people hooked up. Were all the people from the Old Miao Clan so strange? Gu Tianyou was completely uncomfortable when she saw him. He looked around, and most of the time, his gaze was cast on the misty rain outside the window.
"I hate men who look better than me the most."
Miao Ruolin 's voice was completely contrary to her charming appearance. It was slightly rough and hoarse, reminding Gu Tianyou of the female rock singer surnamed Tian. Gu Tianyou was even more shocked by her first words, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Kid, don't think this is some kind of business negotiation." Miao Ruolin continued, '"I can agree to spend some precious time sitting here and chatting with you. It's all for the sake of my uncle's face. Before you ask me, I have to remind you, don't think that just because you're holding a treasured sword in your hand, you'll definitely be able to achieve your goal here. My principle has always been that family love belongs to family and business belongs to business."
The rain was still falling outside the window. Gu Tianyou withdrew his gaze and focused on the woman's face. Before we met, this face was already very familiar. I should say that I am more bearable than the youngest richest woman in Fortune magazine's history. The dark blue Zhuang Zini professional dress seemed to be tailor-made, elegant, well-tailored, and dignified while highlighting the lines. Her chest was slightly open, revealing her pink skin and adding a little bit of sexiness.
"I'm here to deliver money to Chairman Miao." As Gu Tianyou said this, he took out a cashier's note from his pocket and directly pushed it in front of Miao Ruolin."Buying the assets of the Wolong Pond, optimizing the combination, and then splitting them up and selling them might not be able to earn so much, right?"
Miao Ruolin glanced at the number on the cheque and was secretly shocked. She thought to herself, Gu Yufei did leave money for this child.
"You are Second Uncle's student. You are not an outsider. Just call me Sister Miao." He calmly pushed the check back."Second Uncle has already spoken. Naturally, I won't accept your money. Let's hear what you plan to do first."
Gu Tianyou swiftly withdrew the cheque and said quietly, "Since Sister Miao doesn't treat me as a partner, then I won't be polite to Sister Miao."
Miao Ruolin cursed in her heart. Brat, you even owe me a favor. You clearly don't have the sincerity to pay for this money.
"To get straight to the point, I hope that the Haizhou Group can help me buy all the assets of the Wolong Pond."
"If I remember correctly, after Gu Yufei died, he left 64% of the Wolong Pond's assets to you. However, two years ago, you transferred this equity to Su Xiazhu free of charge." Miao Ruolin gracefully picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it, took a sip, and then said, "It's said that children can't decide what to do. You've changed too quickly. In just two years, you want to go back on your word?"
"You don't have to ask what I'm planning. In short, my goal is to gain control of the Wolongtang Group. I hope that Sister Miao and your Haizhou Holdings can help me."
"It's not impossible for me to help you, Second Uncle. However, it's also a bottom line gang. Haizhou Holdings isn't my business. I won't do any unprofitable business in business. You have to let me explain it to the board of directors." As Miao Ruolin spoke, she suddenly sat up and leaned forward. She threw a charming glance at Tianyou and said, "Haizhou Holdings is not a charity hall, nor is elder sister a living Lei Feng. There's no reason to play with you in vain, right?"
Her tone was ambiguous, and her lustful eyes never left Heaven's Blessing. Her meaning was already very obvious. Gu Tianyou wasn't too surprised by this. This woman's reputation in the southeast business circle had always been bad. There were a lot of gossip about her. She had been a regular guest in the gossip news for the past two or three years. Gossip targets were everywhere. Stylist celebrities, young masters from aristocratic families, newly rich politicians, and boyfriends were exchanged one after another like lanterns.
Late last year, gossip websites reported photos of her revelry in a private room with three muscular men in Casino America. Gu Tianyou still remembered that in that picture, she was dressed in a tight black leather coat, holding a leather whip in her hand, whipping three muscular strippers.
"Of course I won't let you guys work in vain. I mean, we'll buy the assets of the Wolong Pond together and work together." Gu Tianyou ignored Miao Ruolin 's seduction."It has been more than ten years since the Wolong Pond signboard was erected, especially the group's beverage and fruit factories and motorcycle factories are well-known brands in the industry."
Miao Ruolin opened her mouth slightly and spat out a cloud of smoke to form a smoke ring. Then, she spat out a column of smoke and passed through the smoke ring. She smiled and said, "What you said is quite true. Go on and see if you can move me."
"These two high-value brands must be retained." Gu Tianyou ignored how much she underestimated him. He continued, "The entire Wolongtang Industrial Zone is situated on the banks of Wolongxin Harbour, Convenient land and sea transportation, The surroundings were picturesque, The value of leisure tourism is very high. My plan is to first shut down the small enterprises with high environmental pressure and low economic benefits in Wolongtang industrial area, use the saved land to build an international-class children's park, build a hotel resort group, a golf course, and open a yacht club in Wolongxingang."
The calmer Gu Tianyou was, the more curious Miao Ruolin became. Although Gu Tianyou's plan sounded a bit old and inappropriate to her, it was not something a twenty-year-old youth could do. Her gaze grew hotter and hotter, as if she had discovered a new continent. She smiled softly and said, "The plan sounds like that. However, it seems like it requires a lot of money to accomplish. Moreover, it won't be effective in the short term. Once there is a problem with the follow-up investment and the capital chain is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Don't worry about the capital. I can find a third party investor to share the risk with us. I will invest 50%, the third party 30%, the Haizhou Holding Company 20%, the Haizhou Holding Company 40%, and the third party and the Haizhou Holding Company 30% respectively." Without waiting for Miao Ruolin to raise any doubts, she continued, "As for the factors that you are worried about, such as the length of the construction cycle, the cost of engineering materials, climatic conditions, and human resources, I have also considered them."
First, after closing down those small businesses, there will be a lot of idle local labor force. Haizhou Holdings has a real estate company that directly contracts for construction projects and takes in these labor forces. This will also reduce the resistance to the local implementation of the plan
"Looks like you've really put in a lot of effort." Miao Ruolin put away her joking attitude. She leaned back in her chair, "In making the acquisition plan, Haizhou Holdings' appraisers have been there, I've also given you a text similar to this one, "The outlook is tempting, but the board rejected it because of worries about resistance, long construction periods and high risk of follow-on investment. In our plan, after the acquisition is completed, only Le Hui juices and Golden Sun motorcycles with high brand value will be retained. The rest of the industry will be shut down, personnel will be laid off and equipment and real estate will be packaged and sold to other business partners."
"If you really do that, I can guarantee that you won't be able to earn a penny from Le Hui Juice and the Motorcycle Factory." "The Wolongtang Industrial Zone is located at the foot of Half Moon Mountain in the Flying Tiger Ridge. Before the completion of Wolongxin Port, it was isolated and secluded. The local people have a strong sense of local territory. The Wolongtang Enterprise Group has an irreplaceable position in the area. If outsiders do business there, it will definitely be difficult for them to do anything without cooperating with the local people, " Gu Tianyou said confidently.
"Our Haizhou Holdings is definitely an outsider, but you don't seem to be a member of the Gu Clan, do you? What's the difference between cooperating with you and developing it yourself?"
"There's no difference. That's why I found a third party." Gu Tianyou said confidently, "The third-party investor I am looking for enjoys high prestige in the region. It is enough to ensure that the land use, reconstruction and expansion of the project can be carried out smoothly without any resistance after the acquisition is completed."
"Fifty percent of the investment, only forty percent of the shares, is for this courage. I really underestimate you." Miao Ruolin smiled flirtatiously and blinked at Tianyou."Speaking of which, this third party is the key. Although you have contributed more money, our Haizhou Holdings has contributed more. This third party is responsible for ensuring that the construction is not hindered. Compared to you, the 40% share requirement seems to be barely reasonable."
"I'm only here today to briefly discuss my intentions. If Sister Miao is interested in cooperating, I'm willing to discuss the details. After I return, I'll contact a third party. At that time, a professional manager will come over and discuss the details of the cooperation and the obligations and rights of the three parties with your company."
"You don't seem to understand what I said just now. I mean, your rough request doesn't seem reasonable." As Miao Ruolin spoke, she suddenly reached out her right hand and pressed down on Tianyou's big hand with her slender, white, weak, and boneless hand."Whether or not we can start the negotiation is up to me. However, I'm not interested in discussing it now. Perhaps I'll suddenly be interested in talking to you somewhere else."
