Family Liu, including the head of the Family Financial Group, Liu Chongli, no one dared to oppose the decision made by Old Man Liu.
Only Family Liu's eldest son, Liu Qunfeng, couldn't help but ask, "Dad, it's okay to give the pharmaceutical company to him, but … what if he takes the money and doesn't do anything, or in the end, he can't …"
Liu Qunfeng didn't dare to continue, because if Xia Ruofei's actions didn't work, then there was only one result, and that was that Old Man Liu wouldn't live for long. How could Liu Qunfeng dare to say something so unlucky?
Old Man Liu smiled faintly and said, "He won't. Although this is the first time I've met this young man, I'm still confident. Moreover, if that's really the case, can he take over such a big pharmaceutical company? Even if these old bones of mine enter the Babao Mountain, can our Liu Clan be bullied like this? "
"Dad, don't say such discouraging words." Liu Qunfeng quickly said, "You'll definitely be blessed by the heavens!"
Old Man Liu said lightly, "I've lived for so long, and I've already accepted life and death. But I can't leave so early! If I leave, I'll leave behind such a big business, and it'll be a piece of shiny fat meat … "
Liu Qunfeng couldn't help but show a trace of shame and said, "It's all because we don't have the ability …"
At this time, Liu Lifang, who hadn't said anything, suddenly had her eyes lit up and said, "Oh right! Our pharmaceutical company has a lot of shares in the hands of related companies, so we don't have to transfer this part to him! It's not under our family's name! "
Liu Lifang's idea was very simple, and that was to reduce the losses as much as possible.
The Liu family's family group controlled many companies both openly and secretly. Therefore, the shareholding structure of the pharmaceutical group was also very complicated. From the public information, at least 30% to 40% of the shares were not in the hands of the Liu family.
But in fact, the companies that held these shares were still controlled by Family Liu. Family Liu's allocation of shares was just a routine operation for the purpose of risk control.
Logically speaking, when Old Man Liu agreed to give the pharmaceutical company to Xia Ruofei, it was normal to give away the sixty to seventy percent of the shares that Family Liu held. As for the rest, in a legal sense, it was someone else's shares. You can't ask me to give someone else's money to you, right?
From this point of view, Liu Lifang's words wasn't unreasonable.
Liu's words, Liu Qunyan, who also didn't walk in the system. He was excited, he slapped his thigh, and said, "You don't say! Sister's idea's idea! "
Liu Qunyan analyzed, "That's how I see it! Thirty to forty percent of the shares were worth five to six hundred million at most. It was not a lot of money. But the meaning, it's to keep keep's's! "
After all, Liu Chongli had been in the business world for most of his life, so he suddenly understood. He said thoughtfully, "Qunyan, you mean … Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory …"
"Second Uncle, great minds think alike!" Liu Qunyan said. "Xia Ruofei wants the pharmaceutical company. His purpose is obvious! It's to expand the scale and production capacity of their company's pharmaceutical factory. If we keep a part of the shares in the name of an affiliated company, when the time comes for the integration, it's equivalent to infiltrating Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory! The ability of this pharmaceutical factory to make money is too terrifying. Moreover, they never had any intention of financing. If we hold these shares, at the very least, we can ride on the fast selling Jade Muscle Ointment and Heart Nourishing Soup and make a lot of money! If we're lucky, maybe we can take this opportunity to take over Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory step by step, or even the entire Taoyuan Company! "
Liu Lifang was happy and said proudly, "What do you think? My idea's good, right? "
In fact, Liu Lifang was just worried about the money. She wanted to give as little as possible. She didn't think so deeply! However, after listening to Liu Qunyan's analysis, Liu Lifang was extremely pleased that the shares she had left behind had such an important role.
Liu Qunyan, Liu Lifang, and several other second-generation children who worked in the family group discussed excitedly. The more they talked, the happier they became.
However, Liu Chongli found that Old Master Liu didn't say a word. He just looked at Liu Lifang, Liu Qunyan, and the others indifferently. There was even a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Liu Chongli saw this and quickly said, "Qunyan, Lifang, don't talk about this. Let's listen to brother's opinion!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Lifang said quickly. "Dad, what do you think of my proposal?"
Only then did Elder Liu raise his eyelids and look around.
The clan members who met his gaze couldn't help but avert their gazes. Some of them even lowered their heads slightly. Even though Old Man Liu was so sick that he was only skin and bones, once he released his might, there wasn't a single person in the clan who wasn't afraid.
Even Liu Chongli, who was of the same generation as Old Master Liu, respected and feared this cousin of his in his heart.
Although Liu Chongli was Old Master Liu's cousin, he was younger than Old Master Liu by more than ten years. When he was very young, he came out with Old Master Liu. Although they were of the same generation, in life and work, Old Master Liu was more like his elder. He often taught him earnestly.
Old Master Liu asked calmly, "Are you all done?"
Liu Qunyan finally felt that something was wrong. He quickly and carefully said, "We're done. Dad … What do you think?"
After Liu Qunyan finished speaking, he gathered his courage and looked up at Old Master Liu. However, he just happened to meet Old Master Liu's sharp gaze. He was so scared that he quickly lowered his gaze and avoided Old Master Liu's sharp gaze.
"What do I have to say? What do you think I have to say? "Old Master Liu smiled coldly and said," Do you think Xia Ruofei is an idiot? Do you think the Family Song is a decoration? Is it still a secret who owns the shares of those affiliated companies? Using this as a reason to keep a portion of the shares and even want to swallow up the Taoyuan Company. What are you thinking? Ridiculous! Simply stupid beyond compare! "
Liu Qunyan, Liu Lifang, and the others were so scared by Old Master Liu's scolding that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone talk back. They even wanted to lower their heads into their chests.
Actually, Old Master Liu still had a sentence that he didn't say. That was — My life is now in the hands of Xia Ruofei. You guys plotting against him, isn't that the same as putting me in a dead end?
Thinking of this, Old Master Liu couldn't help but feel inexplicably angry. This bunch of unfilial descendants …
Liu Qunfeng, who was closest to Old Master Liu, quickly got up and gently patted Old Master Liu's back. He said, "Dad! Don't be agitated! Don't be agitated! Qunyan and the others are just saying … "
"This kind of thinking is very dangerous!" Old Master Liu said, "Don't even think about it! Chongli, you personally watch over the transfer of shares. Don't make any small moves. You must completely hand over the pharmaceutical group to Xia Ruofei. Also, don't think about planting any spies in the group, and don't even think about stealing the formula of the Yuji Ointment and Heart-Nourishing Soup! Understand? "
"Okay, big brother! Don't worry! I will definitely get it done! "Liu Chongli quickly responded.
As for Liu Qunyan, Liu Lifang, and the others who were beaming with joy just now, now they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. All of them lowered their heads, like frosted eggplants.
Old Master Liu calmed down a little, then said seriously, "The transfer of the pharmaceutical group is only the first step. There are more important things to do next. Qunfeng, take note of it."
Liu Qunfeng quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Dad, please instruct me!"
Old Master Liu said, "From today onwards, all plans against Family Song will be temporarily put on hold. Also, at all levels, give way appropriately. Don't take the initiative to start a dispute. In short, as long as Family Song doesn't take the initiative to touch our cake, we will be at peace with them. Even if Family Song really does something, we will endure as much as we can … "
Liu Qunfeng was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and murmur, "Dad! Is this also Xia Ruofei's request? "
Old Master Liu didn't answer directly. He only said, "This is a decision I made after careful consideration!"
"But … A lot of our plans will be wasted if this happens!" Liu Qunfeng said. "And … If we do this, won't the Gao family and some other families have any opinions?"
Old Master Liu frowned and said, "We are only having a truce with Family Song, not an alliance. What right do they have to say? Qunfeng, don't tell me you don't know what's important and what's not? "
Liu Qunfeng's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly said, "I understand, dad! I will carry out your orders right away and make sure it is done to the letter! "
Only then did Elder Liu nod slightly. He revealed a trace of weariness, waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've gathered everyone here today for two reasons. First, I want to let everyone know. Second, I want to remind all of you to keep a low profile from now on. Especially in the near future, I don't want to see anything like what happened to Haojun again!"
Liu Qunfeng's heart was bitter. Liu Haojun was his son! His bright future was ruined just like that, and now he was being used as a negative example by the old man. Moreover, Xia Ruofei was the one who caused Liu Haojun's downfall, but he was earning a lot of money. This was really too painful …
However, Liu Qunfeng only dared to complain a little in his heart. He, Liu Chongli, and his siblings all nodded in agreement.
At a time like this, they naturally had to rush to express their opinions. If there was any hesitation, it would be an issue of attitude.
Old Master Liu said, "I'm a little tired, everyone is dismissed!"
Liu Qunfeng and the others all left the ward with complicated expressions. Everyone had different thoughts, but they all sounded the alarm in their hearts.
…
Family Liu caused quite a stir internally because of the old man's announcement. After Xia Ruofei left Room 301, he took the Hongqi sedan back to Family Song's old house.
"Ruofei, the chief just woke up for his lunch break," Director Lu said with a smile, "He said that you can go see him directly as soon as you come back. There's no need to report."
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"You're familiar with the house, so I won't lead the way." Director Lu smiled. "I still have to go to the kitchen and ask the cooks to cook a few more dishes. You're glowing, so I can tell at a glance that something good has happened! Looks like the chief will break his vow to drink a few more mouthfuls of wine tonight … "
"Haha! I didn't expect Director Lu to know how to read people's faces! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Your smile is almost reaching your ears. Isn't it obvious enough?" Director Lu said. "Alright, don't talk nonsense with me. Hurry up and go see the chief! Don't let him wait too long … "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said, "Director Lu, see you later!"
Director Lu waved at Xia Ruofei and walked towards the kitchen. Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, went to the study with ease.
He gently knocked on the door and heard Master Song say loudly from inside, "Come in!"
Xia Ruofei pushed the door open with a smile and walked in, shouting, "Grandpa Song!"
Master Song put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile, "Ruofei, you're back? Looks like the result of the conversation was very good! "
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment. He touched his nose and said, "Was it that obvious? Director Lu said the same thing just now … "
Master Song couldn't help but laugh heartily and said, "Tell me! What did you talk about with that old guy? "
Xia Ruofei walked to Master Song and sat down opposite him. He said, "Actually, I've already thought about it. Since you still care about our friendship, I can't just leave him in the lurch. So, I definitely have to treat him."
Master Song said with a smile, "Oh! I have quite a lot of influence. "
"That's for sure!" Xia Ruofei said, "But Family Liu has a lot of hostility towards me, so I definitely can't cure the old man in one go. The best way is to save his life and not let him completely get rid of the illness. Only in this way can I do it with ease."
Master Song nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. I think you must have a card up your sleeve, right?"
"When it comes to treatment, I can still handle it." Xia Ruofei smiled confidently and said, "But I don't have any friendship with Family Liu, so I can't do it for free! So, the only problem is … How much do I want from them? "
Master Song laughed and said, "It seems that Old Liu is bleeding a lot today!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I want their family's pharmaceutical group."
"Well … That's appropriate. And although Family Liu will feel some pain, it won't hurt him too much." Master Song pondered for a moment and said, "I'm guessing that Old Liu will agree without hesitation."
Xia Ruofei gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're really smart!"
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "Other than this condition, I originally wanted to mediate between the two families so that the Liu family would give up their hostile stance towards the Song family. The two families would then join forces against the common enemy."
Master Song heard this and said without hesitation, "That old guy will never agree. There are too many factors involved. Even if he's very afraid of death now, he won't agree to this condition. Because if he does, he won't be able to control the situation. Then, there's no point for him to live!"
