Even though Geng Sang felt that Lin Huayin's reaction was out of character. But in a way, this was also her best choice.
No one can be the same. Even the most principled person would try to change when faced with an irreversible situation.
From Geng Sang's point of view, Lin Huayin had reached a point where she had to change.
"Then you mean …" Geng Sang asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.
"Not paying for now." Yen Teng-kuei said coldly.
"What?!" Geng Sang almost jumped out of his chair. "Not paying?"
"Yes."
Yen Teng-kuei was not satisfied with Geng Sang's reaction.
"If we don't pay, then wouldn't all our hard work be in vain?" Geng Sang said unwillingly.
Not paying?
Are you treating me like a monkey?
Do you know how much effort I have put into this plan? If we don't pay now, then how are we going to fulfill all our promises?
Geng Sang's heart was bleeding. He was extremely angry.
"Just not paying for now." Yen Teng-kuei said indifferently.
"The Phantom series has successfully attracted the attention of many parties. I believe that at this juncture, a lot of funds are willing to invest in this project. "Geng Sang tried to convince Yen Teng-kuei. "If we are too slow, I am worried that others will beat us to it."
"Look at the bigger picture." Yen Teng-kuei said coldly. "How much do you think the Phantom series can earn?"
"We have had an internal meeting. The starting point is 500 million. If our overseas partners can keep up with the progress. We should be able to break the 1 billion mark this year. "Geng Sang explained patiently.
This was not a small amount of money. To Xin Ao, the Phantom series was like a hen that laid golden eggs. If he clenched it tightly, it would be a leader in the industry within three years.
"If this is done, 1 billion will be yours. Xin Ao will also be yours. "Yen Teng-kuei said casually.
Hearing this, Geng Sang couldn't help but be overjoyed in her heart. He had heard Yu Zhengzhong describe Yen Teng-kuei's identity before. Although Yu Zhengzhong didn't know much about it, Geng Sang knew that the man who was talking to her on the phone was second to none even in Beijing. He wouldn't go back on his words so easily. After calming down a little, Geng Sang continued to ask, "What should I do next?"
"Monitor Xiao Zheng's every move. Let's see if Lin Huayin will come into contact with him frequently, "Yen Teng-kuei said after a brief pause. "Find an excuse to stall him. Tell him that the money will be in place, but it will take some time. "
"What if he can't wait to find another family?" Geng Sang asked worriedly.
"He really dares to ask for it. Give him the money immediately." Yen Teng-kuei said concisely.
"Why is that?" Geng Sang asked in confusion.
"Other families might not be able to give as much as us, but we will definitely not mistreat him," Yen Teng-kuei said. "Unless he never thought of attracting investment from the beginning, or he wanted to lure us into the game from the beginning. Otherwise, he won't have the patience to wait for us. "
"You're saying that once he finds another family, it will prove that he can be trusted, and we can proceed with the next step of the plan?" Geng Sang probed.
"Mhm," Yen Teng-kuei said indifferently. "Keep an eye on him. Report to me at all times. "
Without waiting for Geng Sang's reply, Yen Teng-kuei hung up the phone.
…
Shen Han and Tang Ming came looking for Xiao Zheng the moment he returned to his office.
Their faces weren't looking good, especially Tang Ming. He was furious that Xiao Zheng had betrayed and lied to him.
Slap!
Tang Ming slammed the documents on the office table. He did not care about his status as a superior and subordinate and sat opposite Xiao Zheng, who was sipping his tea. With an unfriendly expression, he said, "Tell me. What's going on? "
"Didn't you hear everything clearly in the meeting room?" Xiao Zheng put down his teacup and lit a cigarette. "Is there something wrong with my expression, or are your ears not good?"
"Mr. Xiao. What you did will hurt Xin Ao! "Shen Han said from a professional's point of view. "Phantom is a brand that we've painstakingly built. Why do we need to attract investors at this juncture? Isn't this equivalent to giving money to outsiders? "
"That's why Captain Bai scolded us for being a traitor!" Tang Ming glared at Xiao Zheng.
"I've said it before. If Xin Ao was purely using the Phantom series to make money, he could be lying down now," Xiao Zheng said calmly. "But I don't just want to make money. I want to dominate the market. If I want to dominate, I need funds to pave the way. Xin Ao doesn't have it, so I need to raise funds from outside. "
"But you're obviously taking advantage of him!" Tang Ming said angrily. "You'll even hand over the empire that Big Boss has painstakingly built!"
"That's just what you think," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "In my opinion, once the financing is successful, even if Big Boss' shares will be diluted, his net worth will increase exponentially."
"If it were you, would you rather have the shares in name or the money in your pocket?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Tang Ming could not win against the sharp-tongued Xiao Zheng, so he turned to Shen Han and said, "Teach him a lesson!"
Shen Han looked troubled. After a moment of silence, she explained, "Mr. Xiao, to put it bluntly, what you're doing may seem beneficial on the surface, and you'll be able to amass the greatest amount of wealth in the shortest amount of time. "But in the long run, it's very suspicious. "It's also not good for Xin Ao's unity and development. "If there's a conflict between the outsiders and the core team, it'll be a disaster for Xin Ao."
"Did you hear that?" Tang Ming glared at Xiao Zheng and said in a bad mood. "Look at what you've done! "Don't you know that what you've done might make you the greatest sinner of Xin Ao? "You'll also be infamous in the industry and be despised by everyone!"
Tang Ming only dared to expose the stakes if he really treated Xiao Zheng as a friend. Xiao Zheng was naturally aware of this. Hence, when the two of them were criticizing him, Xiao Zheng just drank his tea and smoked peacefully. He even ate an apple.
"Are you done?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile as he lit a second cigarette. "Any leader with a bit of temper would have fired you in a fit of anger after being personally attacked by your subordinates. I'm really envious of you. You've met such an outstanding leader at such a young age. "
Tang Ming was dumbfounded, and Shen Han was also helpless. They were both speechless.
"What do you think of my character?" Xiao Zheng teased.
When Tang Ming heard that, he did not criticize Xiao Zheng against his will. He simply said, "Righteous."
"What else?" Xiao Zheng asked.
No one could refuse a compliment, not even Xiao Zheng.
"Humorous," Shen Han commented. "Generous."
"How is he generous?" Tang Ming turned around and glared at his fiancée. "When did you go blind?"
Shen Han rolled her eyes at Tang Ming. "You talk about your business, and I talk about mine. Why do you care?"
The status of the head of the family was undeniable.
After arguing for a while, the tense atmosphere in the office eased up a little. Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and said casually, "Since you've come to a conclusion about my character, don't be so fickle."
"Can you explain?" Tang Ming asked in a low voice.
"It's a high-level secret. You don't have the right to know yet. "Xiao Zheng blinked and said.
"F * ck!" Tang Ming raised his middle finger and stood up. "Then what do we need to do?"
"Do what?" Xiao Zheng almost choked on his tea. He turned around and glanced at Shen Han. "Old Shen, isn't your man a little too naive? Go back and teach him a lesson. If he dares to fall behind, don't blame me for being merciless and kicking him out. "
Shen Han laughed gloatingly. She tugged at Tang Ming and said, "Go to the warehouse in the afternoon to check the stock. Phantom is about to go online. Don't have any problems with the supply. "
"If the subordinates have any burdens, help them think about it. I don't want anything to go wrong at this time, "Xiao Zheng said as he put down his teacup. "Everything is normal. Don't give me more trouble."
"Understood." The two nodded and left the office.
