One billion?
The expressions of all the department heads who were in the middle of a heated discussion changed drastically when they heard this. They looked at Xiao Zheng, who was full of lofty sentiments, with an indescribable expression.
For the Phantom series, Xin Ao had already invested all of his capital into it. Let alone one billion, he couldn't even take out one hundred million. Wasn't Xiao Zheng making things difficult for him by saying this?
Of course, after last time's suggestion, everyone knew what Xiao Zheng was planning. As the overseas department head, how could he not know that Xin Ao was already struggling to make ends meet, and was waiting for the Phantom series to recoup its losses? Saying this, he was forcing the big boss to make a difficult decision.
What decision?
Allowing them to invest!
Only if the capitalists took the hot money and entered Xin Ao would they be able to realize Xiao Zheng's dream of dominating Hua Xia. If they wanted to take this amount of capital from within Xin Ao, the possibility of that was zero.
Xiao Zheng brought up this matter again at such a critical juncture. What was his intention?
Last time, Bai Yujiao and Lan Xin had expressed different degrees of surprise and dissatisfaction, but Xiao Zheng had only calmly and casually explained it, and had not discussed it in depth. This time, the two of them did not want to be the first to speak up. Firstly, they didn't think that Lin Huayin would agree to Xiao Zheng's request. Secondly, they trusted Xiao Zheng and knew that he would not push Xin Ao into a pit of fire.
However, what no one expected was that after listening to Xiao Zheng's suggestion, Lin Huayin did not get angry like last time. She only maintained her silence, staring at Xiao Zheng with an icy gaze. It wasn't just Xiao Zheng himself, even Geng Sang and the other department heads who were sitting next to him felt a chill run down their spines.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely oppressive. No one dared to move, afraid that Lin Huayin would take her anger out on them. Even Xin Ao's second-in-command, Lan Xin, had a subtle expression on her face as she observed the expressions of the important people present. This was especially so for Lin Huayin.
In Xin Ao, she knew Lin Huayin better than anyone else. He understood how important Xin Ao was to her. If it was not necessary, she would not believe that Lin Huayin would sell Lin Huayin in disguise. Especially in such a critical situation.
So, what would she do?
Everyone was waiting with bated breath. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Xiao Zheng.
"Xin Ao has no money." Lin Huayin said indifferently. "You can look for investments. As long as the source of funds is reliable and the shareholders here agree, I have no objections."
As soon as he said that, the conference room was in an uproar!
She agreed?
She actually agreed!?
Geng Sang almost screamed in excitement. This was an ending she could never have imagined. Not only the ending, even the process was beyond his expectations.
What kind of woman was Lin Huayin? Geng Sang had followed her for many years and had long understood her character. She was stubborn, domineering, dictatorial, and condescending. She never negotiated with others. She only gave orders and acted as if her words were the law. But today, in this conference room, she actually listened to Xiao Zheng's suggestion and gave the important task of attracting investments to Xiao Zheng.
Could it be that this was the power of love? For Xiao Zheng, Lin Huayin was willing to sacrifice Xin Ao?
Geng Sang took the lead to applaud and said excitedly, "With Boss Lin and Mr. Xiao, Xin Ao's future is bright."
The directors on Geng Sang's side also congratulated her. They expressed the joy in their hearts.
Once the funds came in, Xin Ao's working capital would be incomparably abundant. But this small boat that was sailing cautiously on the sea of business might change its helmsman. No longer Lin.
Most of the directors saw Xiao Zheng as a great hero. Only Blue Heart and a few others were worried. They couldn't understand Xiao Zheng's heart. They also didn't understand why Lin Huayin would agree. They only felt that dark clouds had covered Xin Ao. A storm was coming.
"Meeting adjourned."
Lin Huayin didn't explain to anyone. After approving Xiao Zheng's proposal, she stormed out of the conference room. Her face was gloomy.
Blue Heart looked at Xiao Zheng with a complicated expression and then left.
"Traitor!" Bai Yujiao coldly harrumphed and swaggered out of the conference room.
"Mr. Xiao, congratulations."
When only Geng Sang was left in the conference room, she stretched out her arm and tightly shook Xiao Zheng's.
"I thought that today would be a bloodbath." Geng Sang smiled. "I never thought that Mr. Xiao would be able to settle this matter by himself."
"Even if I can't settle it, Boss Geng might just sit on the side and watch, right?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and a thought-provoking smile flashed across his face.
"How could that be?" Geng Sang hurriedly shook her head to show her sincerity. "I've already spoken to everyone. As long as Boss Lin doesn't agree, we'll write a letter. We'll support Mr. Xiao to the death. "
"It's no longer important." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled. "In any case, I've already made this happen. I hope that Boss Geng won't let me down."
"Of course not." Geng Sang smiled. "I'll spread this good news as soon as possible. Mr. Xiao, what you need to do next is to think of a way to talk to Mr. Xiao Hou. "
"I hope that Boss Geng can put in a few good words for me," Xiao Zheng said with a stiff expression.
Geng Sang was sure that her hesitation had aroused Xiao Zheng's suspicions. She humbly said, "Of course. In the future, we'll be on the same side. We'll prosper together, so how could I not fight for benefits for Mr. Xiao? "
Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and smiled. "That's good. I still have some matters to take care of in the Phantom series, so I'll be heading back first. "
"Take care, Mr. Xiao." Geng Sang stood up to send him off.
After Xiao Zheng left, Geng Sang returned to her office. The moment she closed the door, she gave a call to Yen Teng-kuei.
"How was it?" Yen Teng-kuei's voice resounded from the other side of the phone.
"It's done." Geng Sang excitedly replied. "Lin Huayin has already given her approval."
"You took action?" Yen Teng-kuei casually asked.
He only cared if Lin Huayin had given her approval. As for whether Geng Sang took action or not, it wasn't important in principle.
"No." Geng Sang explained. "After Xiao Zheng proposed to attract investment, although Lin Huayin was in a difficult position and unhappy, she didn't refuse."
"She didn't refuse?" Yen Teng-kuei knitted his brows. "You mean, in the absence of any threats, she agreed?"
"You can put it that way." Geng Sang nodded and explained. "But according to my speculation, she should know that if she had refused, the Phantom series might be delayed. Once it exceeds expectations, Xin Ao might face financial problems. It might affect the release of the Phantom. Compared to bringing in a certain amount of funds, the launch of the Phantom is more important. "
"Describe to me all her actions at that time." Yen Teng-kuei calmly asked.
Although Geng Sang didn't understand, she still patiently described Lin Huayin's actions. In the end, Geng Sang probed, "Boss Yan, are you worried about something?"
"Everything is unpredictable. There must be a monster."
Yen Teng-kuei gave a comment.
