Zhang Qing's face turned ugly. You are asking me if I am convinced? I am convinced my ass!
He had forked out quite a lot of money this time.
In Jiangbei, they had raised 200 million. That was not a small sum!
Zhang Qing's father's status was not low. He was still the Deputy Mayor of Pingchuan.
With his father's connections, he had made some money over the years.
But his father was still very strict with him. He did not dare to make a big fuss. Although he had made some money, it was not a lot.
Zhang Qing had forked out 5 million and borrowed another 5 million from others.
For someone like him, if he really wanted to borrow money from some businessmen, a few million was not a problem. In fact, the businessmen would be more than willing to pay him back.
But Zhang Qing had no intention of not returning the money. He was prepared to return the money after he got it back.
These few years, he had kept a low profile in Pingchuan. He did not dare to cause trouble for his family.
The reason was simple. He had gone against Li Dong in the past and was afraid of causing trouble.
But this time, Zhang Qing felt that it should not be a problem for him to earn some extra money.
If Li Dong wanted to find fault with him, he would not be the one to blame.
After all, he had only raised some money. He did not even get involved in the matters on the Internet. Would Li Dong find fault with him because of this?
But who knew that Li Dong would ask for 20 million to buy back the money!
That meant he could only get back 1 million out of his 10 million. He could not even repay the debt. How could he be willing?
Zhang Qing suppressed his anger and said, "General Manager Li, I admit that I cannot afford to offend you! But when doing business, we must follow the rules! You want to take back something worth 200 million just for 20 million. What difference is there between you and a robber?! "
"Pfft!"
Li Dong was munching on the melon seeds on the table and nearly spat them out. He said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, what are you saying? I have really become the villain. Do you want me to reply that no one will come to save you even if you scream until your throats are hoarse? I will reason with you, and you will tell me your background. I will fight you with my fists, and you will reason with me. Speaking of bandits, do you think I'm a bandit like you? "
Li Dong munched on another melon seed, paused, and said, "The melon seed is a little stiff. You ate it yesterday, right?"
As he spoke, Li Dong changed the topic and said, "As for me, I'm really thinking for your sake. I only gave you 20 million because I pitied you. Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Then you will know whether 20 million is a good deal or not. "
Li Dong's topic was too jumpy, and the few of them were a little confused by him.
Chen Rui was the first to react. He sat down at the side and said slowly, "Li Dong, speak. If you don't tell us something today, we won't just sit and wait for death even though we are in a disadvantageous position."
Li Dong shook his head. It was too tiring to talk to these people.
Just as he had said, if you tried to reason with them, they would use force to oppress you.
When you have power, they will immediately put on the appearance of a wronged wife and begin to reason with you while weeping.
"How many of you here have seen Tianfang's contract?"
When Li Dong asked, everyone looked at each other. After a while, Chen Rui said, "All of us have seen it."
"Is there such a clause in the contract that the Far Away City project will be the main project, including but not limited to 10 Far Away cities?"
Everyone thought for a while and looked at each other suspiciously. They didn't remember.
Zhang Xing, who opened the door for Li Dong, thought for a while and suddenly rummaged through the bag beside him. After a while, he found a crumpled copy of the contract.
Zhang Xing saw everyone looking at him and said nervously, "I don't remember. Let me see."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Up to you. But hurry up, it should be in the last few pages."
Zhang Xing hurriedly flipped from the back, and the others quickly surrounded him.
However, Chen Rui said with a gloomy face, "There's no need to look. There is such a clause."
"That's right." Li Dong smiled and said, "Since you know about it, then it's easy. Now that Far Away is preparing to build 10 Far Away cities, of course it will be included. I told the public that 50 billion is too much. Let's say 40 billion or even 30 billion is fine. According to the contract, you all have to increase the amount. Let's say 30 billion. You all still have to prepare 18 billion. In addition to the 19 billion that has not been paid previously, it should be a total of 37 billion. When are you all prepared to pay? "
Chen Rui gritted his teeth and said, "General Manager Li, whether to build or not, it is not up to Far Away to decide!
It is also not up to you all to add it to the project.
We have the final say on this matter!
Tianfang did not receive any notice from you all. Also, this matter needs all the shareholders to participate and decide by voting!
I don't agree, Tianfang doesn't agree too. You can build as many Far Away cities as you want. We don't care.
But it is not our duty to take the money! "
Li Dong felt strange and said, "Don't you understand the rules? It was agreed that the major shareholders have the right to request for a capital increase. Also, the minor shareholders have to increase their capital in the same proportion. Otherwise, the party that breaks the contract will have to pay compensation.
Just this alone will be 2 billion.
This is only the first point. Secondly, if the project is stopped because of you all, you all have to pay compensation too.
I will not count the Far Away City project at the back. Just the first part alone, you all have to pay a lot of money.
In the end, you all will have to pay a lot of compensation. It would not be surprising if you all lose all 5 billion.
Lastly, the land price has dropped again. The 5 billion that you all invested previously might not be worth that much now.
In short, if you all don't continue to increase the capital, the money will be almost gone. Do you understand? "
"You said that only the major shareholders have the right to request for a capital increase …" When Chen Rui said this, his heart had already started to tremble.
Not only was he trembling, some of the others were confused, while others were sweating profusely.
Li Dong laughed and said, "That's right. I said it's the major shareholder, the absolute controlling stake. I now control 40% of the project's shares. CEO Sun and CEO Shen together have 10.8%, just enough to complete the absolute controlling stake. I discussed it with CEO Sun and CEO Shen last night, and they all agreed. Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if I inform you or not. Of course, if you're still worried, we can have a meeting later. "
Chen Rui's pupils shrank!
Shen Xuehua, Sun Yuehua!
How could it be!
Not to mention Shen Xuehua, how could Sun Yuehua do it?
Chen Rui suppressed the throbbing in his heart and forced himself to say, "CEO Sun Far Away City's cooperation has broken down. Tengxiang's breach of contract has also caused you a lot of trouble. Also, Tengxiang has also lost tens of millions in compensation. How could CEO Sun agree? "
Li Dong laughed and said, "Chen Rui, are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be?
If you don't believe me, you can call and ask yourself. There's no need for me to lie to you.
I was planning to take some time to have a meeting with you these two days, but I've all run back to Beijing, so I can't get together for the time being.
In any case, it's up to you whether you believe me or not.
We're going to start implementing the new Far Away City project soon. Remember, you have to pay up.
If you don't have money, that's your problem.
According to the previous ratio, the first installment isn't much. Another one billion should be enough.
As for the rest, we'll give you the second installment half a year later.
Half a year later, if you have the ability, you can sell it. I won't stop you.
But now that the market has reached this point, tsk tsk, I really can't think of any idiot who would be willing to spend tens of billions to take over your project. If there really is such an idiot, introduce me to a few. "
Chen Rui's face was pale. He muttered, "No way, how could it be!"
Li Dong could not be bothered to say more. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
After a while, the call went through. Li Dong turned on the speaker and smiled. "Auntie Sun, good morning."
"You were in the limelight yesterday …"
Sun Yuehua was just about to open the topic when Li Dong changed the topic. "Auntie Sun, I'm at Chen Rui's place. I want to build ten more Far Away City. Do you agree?"
"No problem. I thought you would have a meeting first. But it's all the same. Do I need to provide written documents? Or I can go there myself. "
"That's not necessary. I'll go to Beijing in a few days. I'm just saying hello now."
"Well, whatever you say. Anyway, I have no opinion."
"That's fine. Sorry to bother you. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
"…"
The two exchanged a few polite words. Li Dong smiled and said, "How about I call President Shen again? Or if you need any proof, I'll ask President Sun and President Shen to fax it to you."
Chen Rui's face was already livid. He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Dong. "So, you've been scheming against us from the beginning!"
Li Dong sneered. "You overestimate yourself. Who do you think you are?
Do I need to scheme against you?
As for me, the things I'm considering now are not what you can imagine.
If you think that Han Yu can come up with 40 billion, then pretend I didn't say anything. Let's work together. After a few years, we might be able to make a lot of money.
Really, if you take out 40 billion now, I can guarantee that it will become more than 60 billion in three years at most.
Why don't you think about it and persuade them to take the money?
If there's no money, our new plan will have to be implemented. You have to pay for the losses and the liquidated damages. I'll just deduct it from the 5 billion.
Oh, I forgot to say that even if you really take out 40 billion, I might have to continue to expand Far Away City next year. Let's temporarily set it at 30 cities. Remember to continue to increase the capital.
Or you can find a partner. It's the same if you find one. You can let someone else take the money.
I don't care who pays. As long as there's money, we will continue to work together.
If there's no money, then don't blame me for not taking you on. "
Chen Rui's face was livid. Take the money?
Where could they get the money from?
For the 5 billion this time, Shen Xuehua and the rest had paid 900 million. The amount they had really pooled together was only about 4 billion.
Not to mention tens of billions, just this 4 billion was enough to worry Chen Rui. They would lose a lot in half a year. It would be over if they couldn't sell it.
However, if they lowered the price slightly, and with the controlling stake in the project in hand, it wasn't impossible to sell it. If it really couldn't be sold, it wouldn't be a problem.
But now!
The Far Away City plan had no end. How much money would they need to spend?
Chen Rui took a deep breath and suppressed his trembling. "You have to pay up. Li Dong, don't play with fire and burn yourself. Now, the real estate market isn't very good …"
"Hehe, I don't need you to remind me. I'm willing to pay up. It's none of your business."
Li Dong stretched and yawned. "That's all I have to say. What do you think? If you think you can earn back the money or continue to work, I welcome it. But in a few days, if you can't pay up, I won't wait for you. I'll do my own thing. No matter how much I lose or lose, it'll all be on you. When that time comes, I'll have to sue you and you'll have to compensate me for my losses. "
Everyone's faces were solemn. Zhang Qing looked at Chen Rui and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Rui, is that so?"
Chen Rui's face was cold and he said nothing.
Zhang Qing's face turned green. He said angrily, "You signed this kind of contract? What were you thinking!"
Chen Rui was already angry. When he heard Zhang Qing questioning him, he immediately shouted, "Zhang Qing, are you blaming me?"
Zhang Qing was not the only one who was angry. He felt wronged too.
He was not the one who signed the contract. It was Zhuang Fan and Old Lu who brought a group of people to sign it. It had nothing to do with him!
Everyone had looked at it afterward and felt that there was no problem.
Now, Zhang Qing was actually blaming him!
Zhang Qing had only invested 10 million. Chen Rui had invested even more.
50 million!
This was Chen Rui's own investment. Part of it was his own savings. It was not much, just a few million.
As for the rest, he got some from Guanghe Group and some from other sources.
Guanghe …
Chen Rui's expression suddenly changed. Although he had taken over some of Guanghe's shares, due to time constraints, he did not directly pass it to him. It was still managed by Hu Wanlin.
If that was the case, he would not be worried even if Hu Wanlin confessed.
But he felt that it was more or less money to be made from Li Dong's side, so he asked Hu Wanlin to get some funds for him.
Hu Wanlin was also very cooperative. She raised 30 million for him, using almost all of her liquid funds.
At that time, Chen Rui was still very smug.
But now …
Thinking of this, Chen Rui broke out in cold sweat. 30 million. Even if you said you borrowed it, would anyone believe you?
Who are you, Chen Rui? Would someone lend you 30 million without even writing an IOU?
If it was a small amount, it would be fine. It was normal for friends to borrow money.
30 million was easy to find out.
If Hu Wanlin refused to let go, or even if she did not bite him, but his father … the consequences would be dire!
Chen Rui did not have the ability to force Hu Wanlin to pay, but his father could.
Although Chen Jikuan was not in Jiangbei, Chen Jikuan used to be a high-ranking official in Jiangbei. In addition, he already had a criminal record. If he was dragged into this, he would be finished. No one could protect him!
The more he thought about it, the more despair Chen Rui felt.
But he was not willing to give up and scolded Zhang Qing. Then, Chen Rui said to Li Dong, "Li Dong, even if that's the case, we have to wait until Tianfang and Far away finishes their discussion! I don't have time for you now. Let's wait for Tianfang to make a decision first! "
After saying this, Chen Rui looked at his watch and stood up. "I still have something to do. You can look for me after the meeting!"
Seeing him carrying his luggage, Li Dong could not help but laugh. "You want to run away?
Since I dared to tell you now, it means you can't run away.
Secretary Wu will be here soon.
Chen Rui, I'm trying to be nice to you. Why don't you listen to me?
Give me your shares, and I will still owe you a favor. I might even protect you. At least, I will not kick you when you are down.
But you don't know what's good for you, so don't blame me.
I'm waiting for you to go in. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I don't care about your things. When the government auctions them, I might be able to buy them for a few hundred thousand or even a million. "
"You!"
Chen Rui's face was full of fear. He stood up and was about to walk out.
Li Dong raised his head and gestured for Tan Yong to enter with a smile. He pulled Chen Rui's arm and said, "Director Chen, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let's talk."
"Li Dong, how dare you restrict my freedom!" Chen Rui roared.
Li Dong picked his ear and said helplessly, "Who restricted your freedom? I'm just chatting with you for a few minutes. You call that restricting my freedom? If you are unhappy, sue Old Tan later. Why are you looking for me? Alright, Old Tan, send him out. I don't want his things anymore. Secretary Wu should be here soon, right? "
Tan Yong smiled and dragged Chen Rui out with a few bodyguards.
Chen Rui's face was filled with despair and anger as he roared, "Li Dong, don't forget that I still have something on you! If I'm finished, don't think you'll have it easy either! "
"Heh heh, what do you have on me? Strange, you can't be talking about those things, right? I handed them over to Secretary Wu. I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't mention it. That's over 300 million. That's a lot of money. Tsk tsk … I'm afraid you and your father will end up the same way. Bang! "
Li Dong made a hand gesture and a bang sounded from his mouth. It gave everyone a fright as their faces turned extremely pale.
Chen Rui was also stunned. Following that, he was horrified. His legs trembled as he said, "Li Dong, don't be like this. We can talk things out.
I don't want those things anymore. I don't want them!
I'll give you the shares. I don't want the money. Let me go. I beg you, let me go!
Really, I swear that I'll never find trouble with you again in my life.
Just treat me as a fart and let me go. Li Dong, I beg you …
Think about it. Back in Pingchuan, I didn't do anything to you. I even introduced many friends to you.
Li Dong, I beg you! "
As Chen Rui spoke, he cried and shouted, "Shengzhe, help me, help me plead for mercy! I've never mistreated you in the past. Have you forgotten? I'm just a fart. My heart is clouded. I really don't dare to do it again. I beg you … "
With a look of disgust, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Drag him away. Don't pee your pants. F * ck, if you were a man, I would respect you as a man. Now, you've dirtied my hands! "
Without another word, Tan Yong dragged Chen Rui out.
Along the way, Chen Rui screamed, cursed, and begged for mercy.
He struggled desperately. His face was a mess of tears and snot. Even Tan Yong despised him. You're a man. You're pretending to be dead?
Back then, he also knew Chen Rui. He was an extremely domineering person.
Unexpectedly, at a time like this, he was even worse than a woman.
In the corridor, following Chen Rui's shrill screams, many people came out.
Some recognized Chen Rui and Tan Yong. Then, there was a burst of whispers in the corridor.
Chen Rui was finished!
Although they didn't know why it was over, they understood that Tan Yong obviously had no scruples in dragging Chen Rui away in such a situation.
At this moment, in the room, Zhang Qing and the others' legs began to weaken.
Li Dong twisted his neck and got up. "I'll give you three days to think about it. Sell or not, just say the word. Far away if you've thought about it. If you haven't thought about it, then don't think about it. Oh, right, the price has changed. 10 million. After all, Chen Rui is gone. Well, that's it. Everyone, take care. "
Li Dong laughed heartily. Before leaving, he patted Zhang Xing and said, "Remember, I still owe you a meal. Come and find me when you're free. Jinxin Group, right? Old Zhang has a good son."
Hearing this, Zhang Xing could not stand still.
After being patted by Li Dong, Zhang Xing fell to the ground.
Li Dong was a little helpless. He looked at Hsu Shengzhe and said, "These guys are very weak now. Don't be like this."
Hsu Shengzhe could not be bothered with him. Ignoring the others, he asked, "Still pay? 10 million is a lot. "
Li Dong opened his mouth. After a while, he said gloomily, "Don't be so greedy. It's business. It's only good if everyone is happy. Besides, even if you don't want a single cent, I wouldn't dare to accept it. I'm a businessman, not a robber. It's a fair trade. Both parties are willing. "
Hsu Shengzhe nodded slightly. "Makes sense. Leave a way out. You're getting more and more mature."
"You flatter me. Also, don't talk to me like that. I'm not your son!"
"I'm complimenting you sincerely."
"…"
As the two walked further away, their voices became softer.
But the others still did not move. Everyone's faces were pale.
"It's over!"
This was their only thought.
They could vaguely hear the sound of sirens. Had Wu Changguo arrived?
Thinking of Chen Rui being dragged away, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
