The Last Straw
Chapter 891: The Last Straw
(The last moment of this part has come to an end.)
Although the Yang family had been very low-key these years, it still could not cover up the glory of the past. Whenever people mentioned the Yang family, they would naturally talk about the past of the Yang family. Therefore, we have to admit that the glory of the family often covered the ability of the younger generation. If it were other people, they might think it was good to live in such glory for the rest of their lives, or they might think it was just a good skill to live in such a shadow for the rest of their lives, no matter how hard they worked.
But for Yang Yi's uncle, he thought it was good. It was in line with the low-key strategy of the Yang family. When people mentioned the Yang family, they would only think of the past, and not the present, so they could make a fortune in silence.
Yang Yi's uncle's style of doing things could be said to be swift and decisive. Although he was involved in the storm of the Yang family that year, and eventually did not have too many achievements in his official career, and could only retire as a department-level cadre, he had absolute authority in the huge Yang family, and no one dared to challenge his position.
This was not because he was old or had a bad temper, but because his ability determined all of this. There was no need to elaborate on this point, because the Yang family had long since verified his abilities over the past few decades, and because of this, they trusted and felt at ease with him.
As he said, there was no other pursuit in this life. The only thing he wanted to do was only two things. The first was to run the Yang family well, to ensure that the Yang family's descendants would be safe and carefree. The second was to cultivate more outstanding descendants for the Yang family, so that the Yang family would once again stand in the center of power in Sijiu City.
At the beginning, the Yang family could enter the Chang 'an faction, not only because the Yang family's influence was still there, but also because of Yang Yi's secret operation. He chose to invest in the Chang' an faction against the majority's opinion, and these years, the Yang family's descendants had gained a lot of benefits from it. Now he wanted to force them out, and the other Yang family members could not do anything. At least internally, the Yang family was more united than most families.
No one else in the Yang Family knew what Yang Yi's Eldest Uncle had seen or guessed. Although Yang Yi didn't know what his Eldest Uncle was thinking, he had absolute trust in his Eldest Uncle, so he wouldn't hesitate to carry out his Eldest Uncle's orders.
After Yang Yi left, the man was not in a hurry to leave the seaside. Although the wind was strong, he looked very spirited. He was still calculating something, rehearsing all kinds of possible scenarios over and over again, as well as the possible responses of each family in various situations, and what kind of changes would be caused by each family's different responses. For ordinary people, this was as difficult as ascending to heaven, but for him, it was never tiring. It was as if winning against these opponents was more important than anything else.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. If some possibility was brought forward, the Yang family might not have enough time to leave. If that was really the case, then Godfather Liu's inaction could be explained. After the man thought of this possibility, he immediately deduced. The more he thought about it, the more he broke out in a cold sweat …
That was impossible, right?
Unknowingly, it was already the end of August. Summer was leaving and autumn was coming. The night was not as hot as before. Qin Sheng had been waiting for the news from the Yang family. It seemed that Auntie and the Yang family had not come to an agreement yet. However, Chang Xinyi and Hao Mingyi had estimated the value of the Yang family's shares. It was a number that Qin Sheng had never heard before. It was definitely an astronomical number for him, which gave him a headache.
But did the Qin family have enough assets?
Late at night, in the siheyuan of the Qin Family, Qin Sheng asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes to go well with wine and asked Gongsun, who just came back at night, to drink with him. He had not seen Uncle Gongsun for a few days. They had been contacting each other on the phone. He did not know if Uncle Gongsun could handle those big shots and whether he needed to show up.
The wine wasn't any good wine, just an ordinary Red Star Erguotou. For a family like the Qin family, they didn't lack good wine. As long as they had money, what good wine couldn't they buy?
Gongsun seldom drank. Sometimes he would drink with Qin Changan. It was rare for Qin Sheng to be interested today. Of course, he would not let him down. He sat in the yard and drank with Qin Sheng. Of course, he knew why Qin Sheng wanted to drink.
"Young Master, do you want to ask me how is it going on here?" Gongsun sat down and asked directly.
Qin Sheng filled up Gongsun's glass and replied, "Uncle Gongsun, I believe you can handle them. But we don't have much time left. Aunt Chang and Uncle Hao can't handle it anymore. The shareholders' meeting will be held next week. If we can't get the Yang family's shares, we will really lose."
Gongsun did not answer but asked, "How's the progress on Sister Zhao's side?"
"The Yang family is asking for a lot more than we expected. Auntie is still bargaining with them, but the Yang family doesn't want to give in. Now the negotiation is in a state of anxiety. Auntie has been to the Yang family several times," Qin Sheng answered truthfully.
Gongsun said quietly, "The Yang family is really not easy to deal with."
"I've talked to Auntie about this. According to our current information, Sixth Uncle hasn't contacted the Yang Family. I guess the Yang Family is waiting for Sixth Uncle's offer. That's why they're so perfunctory with us. But why is Sixth Uncle not doing anything until now? This is something we don't understand. I don't believe that he doesn't know that the Yang family wants to sell their shares and that the Qin family also wants to buy them. "Qin Sheng was very confused.
Gongsun also frowned slightly and said, "This is really strange. If we get the Yang family's shares, then Sixth Uncle's previous efforts will be completely wasted. I don't believe that they will admit defeat like this. There must be some unknown conspiracy."
"I don't know, and I can't guess," Qin Sheng said somewhat helplessly.
Gongsun squinted and said, "This old fox."
"Uncle Gongsun, what about your side?" Qin Sheng could not help but ask.
These days, Gongsun had been busy with this matter. He had a plan in mind. He knew how many properties the Qin family had, and he was also very clear about who was responsible for what. So he knew what to do, and at the same time, he was waiting for their response.
Gongsun said truthfully, "As Young Master said, there is no problem on Bao Fan's side. He said that he will try his best to raise funds, but it will take some time. The funds on the books are definitely not enough. Even if he sells the assets or mortgages, it will be difficult to complete in a short time. He hopes that we can give him enough time."
"Well, I have thought about this long ago. So it depends on how we talk with the Yang family. I think as long as we reach a deal with the Yang family, the Yang family will also understand," Qin Sheng said quietly.
Gongsun continued to say, "Bao Fan has a suggestion. Many of the assets owned by the Qin family are high-quality. If the Yang family is willing, they can find a professional agency to evaluate them. At that time, we can directly transfer them to the Yang family. This will save some time."
"This is also a way. It depends on whether the Yang family is willing or not," Qin Sheng said affirmatively.
Gongsun was very pleased and said, "Bao Fan did not let us down."
"What about the others?" Qin Sheng asked with concern.
Gongsun Zhang sighed and said, "Although they also gave a reply, I can see that they do not care as much as Bao Fan does. It is more likely that they will be perfunctory and delay. So it seems that I have to go to Dalian and Shenzhen."
Qin Sheng did not say anything. As expected, these two trusted subordinates cultivated by the Qin family with great care had hardened their wings. Were they going to draw a line with the Qin family? Even if they wanted to draw a line, they had to spit out what they had eaten from the Qin family. They could not take away what belonged to the Qin family.
"Uncle Gongsun, then I will have to trouble you." Qin Sheng did not complain or pressure them. He had already thought of this possibility. After all, now that the old man was in trouble, how could these people not think of a way out for themselves?
Gongsun also had other ways, but what the Qin family needed now was time. He did not want to waste this energy. It was better to directly deal with it himself.
After Gongsun finished talking with Qin Sheng, he directly left the siheyuan of the Qin family. He said that he would go directly to Dalian tomorrow, but he would not come back tonight because he needed to make some preparations. Qin Sheng did not stop him, but only told him to pay attention to safety at all times.
Late at night, the huge siheyuan of the Qin family was empty. There was no one except Qin Sheng. Zhao Anzhi took Qin Ran and Qin Jing to the villa in the West Mountain. Nangong had been recuperating in her small home these days. Gongsun had also left. The only person who could accompany Qin Sheng was Chang Baji.
Somehow, it was already two o 'clock in the morning, but Qin Sheng still did not feel sleepy at all. Lying on the bed, he felt like a train was running through his mind. He also thought of his mother, who could only be recalled in photos. Then he thought of his grandfather, who had passed away several years ago, and the trivial life with his grandfather in Zhongnan Mountains. He thought of many old friends' stories, as if he had sorted out the first half of his life. The roads he had taken, the people he had met, and the things he had experienced were vivid in his mind.
In the end, Qin Sheng thought of Su Qin, who was far away in Xi 'an, and Lin Su, who was in Shanghai, the two most important women in his life. One belonged to the past, and the other belonged to the present. One only had regrets and owed her, and the other wanted to cherish and protect.
The older he grew, the more troubles he had. The older he grew, the more unhappy he was. Although life was like this and everyone could understand it, who did not want to live a simple life?
The more he thought about it, the more Qin Sheng could not fall asleep. In the end, he could only get up and go to the study room of the old man to flip through the old man's diary. It was not Qin Sheng's intention to flip through it, but the old man let him read it. This also let Qin Sheng know that it was not easy for the old man. However, what Qin Sheng liked the most was the most ordinary days of the family of four, which were real, simple, and happy.
This night passed just like this, but no one knew that this was the last peaceful night of the Qin family.
In the early morning, Zhao Anzhi came to the Yang family again. This time, it was Yang Yi's uncle who received Zhao Anzhi in person. When she saw this man, Zhao Anzhi knew that there would be progress today. It seemed that the Yang family would not give in, which made her feel a little relieved.
However, what she did not know was that when she was negotiating with the big boss of the Yang family, the last straw that broke the Qin family's back finally came. This time, no one could resist the arrival of the storm. The towering tree that was the Qin family was finally going to fall.
Because at this moment, no matter who was browsing the news or Weibo on their mobile phones, they would see an explosive news.
The chairman of the Chang 'an Group, Qin Changan, was suspected of serious economic crimes and was arrested by the public security organ according to law …
