The Highest Bidder Wins
The story of Sijiu City was endless. Not to mention the rich and powerful families, even the families of ordinary people had a lot of stories to tell. In Sijiu City, which was the center of power, every family's siheyuan was the story of the rise and fall of several generations.
Therefore, the Yang Family was not the only one, nor would it be the last.
The story of the Yang Family was too long. For ordinary people, it might be mysterious, but for the big shots in Sijiu City, they should be more familiar with it than anyone else. Therefore, people often sighed with emotion about the experience of the Yang Family. Fortunately, the Yang Family had persisted.
Yang Yi seemed to be a righteous and forthright person, but his social circle was not big, and he did not seem to be willing to interact with too many playboys, and he was more willing to interact with older friends. Therefore, among the younger generation, Yang Yi did not have much of a story, nor was he willing to have any story. For those playboys with illustrious family backgrounds, a declining Yang family did not seem to be interested.
The fact that the Yang Family sent Yang Yi to meet Qin Sheng today showed that Yang Yi had a high position in the Yang Family. As for whether he could make the final decision for the Yang Family, no one knew. At least Qin Sheng had changed from the initial resistance to the current willingness to communicate.
Yang Yi was a good drinker, and he often drank, but only a few friends often drank. Most of the time, he preferred to make some money to relax, and those unnecessary social activities were meaningless to him.
After a few glasses of wine, Yang Yi became a little talkative. He smiled and said, "Actually, compared to you, I know your sister better. But don't guess randomly. There is no story between your sister and me. If there was, your sister would have told you already. Hahaha."
Qin Sheng muttered in his heart, "Maybe you want to win my sister's heart, but my sister doesn't like you. Tut, tut, tut, there are many people in Sijiu City who want to be my brother-in-law."
Qin Sheng asked casually, "Brother Yang, are you married?"
"Married? What are you waiting for? People like us don't lack anything. It's good to get married early," Yang Yi said with a smile while eating the cucumber. "I know you're not married. I also know that you have a good relationship with Song Ruyu."
It was Song Ruyu again. Who had spread this rumor? Qin Sheng said helplessly, "What are you talking about?"
Yang Yi burst into laughter. It was rare for him to see Qin Sheng's embarrassment, which meant that it was not a rumor. However, now that the Qin family was in such a big trouble, and the Song family was so prominent, everyone thought that Qin Sheng was not worthy of Song Ruyu, not to mention that Song Ruyu was so outstanding.
Yang Yi drank another glass of wine and said with a smile, "How is it? It's been so easy recently, hasn't it? Look at the moonless, windy night, drinking wine, eating appetizers, and chatting about trifles. How comfortable is that? Why put so much pressure on yourself? "
"Brother Yang, are you trying to persuade me?" Qin Sheng frowned slightly. He did not want to joke around. He could still guess what Yang Yi meant.
Yang Yi shrugged and said, "I'm not trying to persuade you. I'm just talking about my experience. What your family has experienced, our family has also experienced. It's just that our family has chosen a different path. That's why our family can continue to be like this. But if you choose the opposite path, I don't know what the result will be. I'm just a little worried."
"Brother Yang, aren't you trying to persuade me?" Qin Sheng chuckled.
Yang Yi said helplessly, "The difference between our families is that when our family got into trouble back then, our parents' generation was much older. They've experienced a lot in this industry and seen through a lot of things, so they know how to make a decision. But in your family, you are the only true successor. You are young and have less experience, so I can understand why you are doing this. "
Sheng was still unwilling to answer. He just said, "Brother Yang, you know why I came to the Yang Family today. If the Yang Family chose to let you be the lobbyist in order to avoid me, I don't think we need to continue to talk. I owe you for today's drink. I will pay you back another day."
After saying that, Qin Sheng was ready to stand up and leave. There was no need for him to waste time here.
Yang Yi quickly stood up and stopped Qin Sheng. "Qin Sheng, you misunderstood me. I'm not a lobbyist. What I said just now was just what I wanted to say."
Qin Sheng stopped and asked, "Brother Yang, I want to know what the Yang family means. Did they think that I'm not qualified, so they sent you here as a formality?"
Yang Yi squinted and asked, "Do you mean that my words don't count?"
Qin Sheng did not deny it. "The Yang Family is a big family. Besides, it's such a big thing. How can you call the shots, Brother Yang?"
"What if I call the shots?" Yang Yi said in a powerful voice.
Hearing this, Qin Sheng already knew the answer in his heart. It meant that Yang Yi's words really counted, or the Yang Family had already explained it to him. So Qin Sheng sat down again without hesitation. He poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Then let's talk again."
Seeing Qin Sheng's change of attitude, Yang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Boy, you are a little interesting."
Unconsciously, Qin Sheng had already turned from guest to host. This time, Yang Yi really could not sit still.
After drinking this glass of wine, Qin Sheng said bluntly, "Brother Yang, let's get to the point. You should have guessed why I came to the Yang Family. These years, the Yang Family has been a shareholder of the Chang 'an Group, but has been silent behind the scenes. No matter when or where, they are not willing to intervene in the Chang' an Group's affairs. I think they are a little too low-key. Now that the Chang 'an Group is in a crisis, we need the Yang Family to come out and turn the tide. I think the Yang Family has also received the notice. In a few days, the Chang' an Group will hold a shareholders' meeting to elect new members of the board of directors. The Yang Family has never nominated anyone. This time, I hope the Yang Family can stand on the side of the Qin Family, so that the Chang 'an Group will not collapse. "
Yang Yi did not say too much nonsense. He said directly, "Qin Sheng, tell me, why should the Yang Family support you instead of Lord Liu? Compared to offending the Qin Family, we are more unwilling to offend Lord Liu. However, the Yang Family is not willing to offend anyone, so you should understand what I want to say. "
Qin Sheng frowned and said, "Brother Yang, do you mean that the Yang Family will still choose to stand by and do nothing this time?"
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "We have no choice. The reason why the Yang Family can still be like this all these years is that we know how to conduct ourselves. We will not offend anyone, so we have a good relationship with those tycoons. It is not necessary to offend Lord Liu for the Qin Family, and we do not want to offend the Qin Family for Lord Liu. Even if the Chang 'an Group really collapses, the Yang Family will not care. Therefore, we should not help anyone and keep silent."
Hearing Yang Yi's words, Qin Sheng was disappointed. He let out a long sigh and said, "I knew it might be like this, but I still want to try."
Yang Yi stood up and patted Qin Sheng's shoulder with a bitter smile as he said, "Some results are destined, so there is no need to make trouble."
Qin Sheng said casually, "Will the Yang Family really not help anyone?"
Yang Yi said disapprovingly, "Not necessarily."
Qin Sheng was surprised and said, "Brother Yang, what do you mean?"
Yang Yi hesitated for a while and said in the end, "Qin Sheng, I shouldn't have told you about this. But since we are talking about this, I might as well mention it. Before I met you, Master Liu had already looked for my Eldest Uncle."
Qin Sheng was shocked after hearing this. "Lord Liu has already looked for me?"
Qin Sheng did not expect that Lord Liu would act so fast, which was far faster than they had imagined.
This was definitely not good news for the Qin Family.
However, Qin Sheng was more worried about another thing. He could not wait and said, "Brother Yang, what you said just now was actually a lie. Has the Yang Family chosen to help Lord Liu?"
"If the Yang Family has chosen to help Lord Liu, then there is no need to see you again," Yang Yi said with a smile. It seemed that Qin Sheng was a little confused.
It was already 12 o 'clock in the morning. Beijing at night was much cooler than during the day. It was very comfortable to sit in the yard and drink at this time. But the premise was that there were no troubles in life. Unfortunately, Qin Sheng had too many troubles.
Qin Sheng raised his glass and said hesitantly, "Brother Yang, what do you mean?"
"What I want to tell you is that my uncle told Lord Liu that the Yang Family will not help anyone this time. We don't want to offend anyone. If you really want the Yang Family to help, then show us something practical. As long as you give us enough benefits, we can sell all the Yang Family's shares in Chang 'an," Yang Yi said slowly.
Hearing this, Qin Sheng was shocked. He did not expect that the Yang Family would have such an idea. They wanted to sell the shares in Chang 'an. What did they mean?
Qin Sheng did not have time to think about the Yang Family's motive. He asked, "Brother Yang, if the Qin Family wants to buy it, how much do you want?"
"The highest bidder wins," Yang Yi only said a few words.
Qin Sheng said quietly, "I see."
After saying that, Qin Sheng couldn't wait to go back. He definitely couldn't name a price, because he had no idea how much these shares were worth. However, Chang Xinyi and Hao Mingyi were more clear about it. Only Uncle Gongsun knew how much the Qin Family could offer when the time came.
"Brother Yang, I don't want to be so polite. Sorry for bothering you today. I will buy you a drink next time." Qin Sheng stood up and said goodbye to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi did not stop Qin Sheng. He waved his hand and said, "See you another day."
After saying this, Yang Yi watched Qin Sheng leave. Seeing Qin Sheng's hurried look, Yang Yi knew that the Yang Family had achieved their goal.
What was the Yang Family's purpose?
In fact, it was very simple. Since the incident in Chang 'an broke out, the Yang Family had wanted to withdraw from Chang' an. Because the Yang Family always liked to keep a low profile, now Chang 'an had become the focus of everyone's attention. Sooner or later, the Yang Family would dig out the Yang Family's background, which was not what the Yang Family wanted to see.
However, the Yang Family did not take the initiative to withdraw. First, no one would interfere with Chang 'an at this time. Some people thought it was a hot potato, while others thought it was not the time for Chang' an to take action. Of course, the Yang Family did not want to wait until then.
Second, the Yang Family did not withdraw easily, because they did not want to offend the major shareholders of Chang 'an. None of them were easy to mess with. If they really offended them, they would not feel good later.
Now, the opportunity finally came.
When Godfather Liu met with the elders of the Yang family, the elders of the Yang family told him about this. However, Godfather Liu wasn't interested. He didn't need to spend so much money to buy the results he had already obtained. Moreover, this was a lot of money. If Godfather Liu wasn't willing to pay, the people behind him wouldn't be willing to pay either.
Most importantly, no one knew the future of Chang 'an.
Therefore, at that time, the Yang Family could only promise Lord Liu that as long as the shares were in the Yang Family's hands, the Yang Family would not help anyone.
But besides Lord Liu, there was still the Qin Family.
If the Yang Family really wanted to withdraw, the Qin Family would be the only one to take over. That was why everything happened today. Everything was planned by the Yang Family.
Yang Yi was not simple, so was the Yang Family.
