"I can overlook your childishness, but when you speak without thinking, I cannot forgive you! Kneel!" Yang Chen shouted.
Liang Aihua and Zhang Hui Li quickly stepped forward to apologize to Yang Chen and urged Liang Tao to apologize.
Liang Tao realized he had misspoken, but he was angry at the mont, and with so many people watching, he was worried about saving face, and said firmly, "I was just speaking off the cuff, why be so petty?"
Yang Chen grabbed Liang Tao’s neck and said, "I said, kneel down and apologize!"
Liang Aihua and Zhang Hui Li hurried forward to Yang Chen, and the two apologized profusely.
But the offending words weren’t spoken by them, so their apology was useless.
Liang Tao was determined to stand firm and said, "Kill if you dare! Apologize? You’re dreaming! Without your funds, I can still seek other capital, are you the only investnt company in the world?"
Yang Chen nodded, released Liang Tao, and said ominously, "If He Li Lao doesn’t go bankrupt, I’ll take your na!"
Having said that, Yang Chen turned and left.
Xue Yinong and others followed closely behind him as they left.
Liang Aihua and Zhang Hui Li tried to catch up, but it was useless.
"Haha...trying to scare , huh? Just wait and see take your na!" Liang Tao shouted.
Without this capital investnt, Liang Tao had another option, his senior at MIT, Zhang Jiacheng.
Zhang Jiacheng’s family investnt company specializes in investing in companies with the potential to go public. As long as he can convince him to invest in He Li Lao, all problems can be solved.
This was Liang Tao’s final stubbornness and his last card.
Diners.
"Wow, now this is a real big shot! The presence is clearly stronger than this chairman’s."
"Sa entourage, but the aura is completely different depending on who leads. The previous one was pretending to be important, but this one really is a big shot."
"The He Li Lao chairman played the pig to eat the tiger, only to find he was actually the pig. This capital bigshot is ruthless and says little — either kneel and apologize or wait for bankruptcy. Tsk tsk tsk, this is the dominance a CEO should have in my imagination."
"This investnt bigshot isn’t just handso, he’s got presence, and his walk carries a powerful aura, I’m really in love, love."
...
After leaving He Li Lao, Yang Chen imdiately said to Xue Yinong and the others, "Let’s invest in Hai Li Lao. After the partnership is achieved, there must be a Hai Li Lao opened next to every He Li Lao. Once He Li Lao is defeated, Hai Li Lao can smoothly apply for listing."
Everyone nodded, clearly expressing their agreent to follow Yang Chen’s instructions.
Yang Chen got into the car with Chen Qingxia and left, while the others got into their cars and went back, instructing their assistants to contact Hai Li Lao to discuss investnt acquisition matters.
Chen Qingxia smiled and said, "Don’t be angry, there’s no need to lower yourself to deal with such petty people. I an, holding grudges over childhood issues, and it has nothing to do with you — it’s their family problem, yet they vent their grievances on you."
Yang Chen’s face was grim; he could overlook Liang Tao playing the pig to eat the tiger, but Liang Tao’s remark about being an illegitimate child completely infuriated Yang Chen.
Having lost his parents in his teens was a huge regret for Yang Chen, and he would not allow anyone to disrespect his parents even slightly.
Yang Chen dropped off Chen Qingxia at her ho.
"Want sothing to drink, milk maybe?" Chen Qingxia asked.
Yang Chen nodded.
Chen Qingxia made a glass of milk and took so ice cubes from the fridge, smiling alluringly, "Last night, when you were asleep, I secretly learned sothing online, want to try it?"
"What is it?" Yang Chen asked.
Chen Qingxia put the ice cube in her mouth, and Yang Chen suddenly realized what she had learned.
...
The next morning, Yang Chen left Chen Qingxia’s house, ate a bit and went racing.
On the other side, Xue Yinong and others spent the morning negotiating with He Li Lao’s chairman and major shareholder, He Xuyong, and Zhang Yuna. They finally reached a rough agreent.
Star Investnt and several other investnt companies would invest a total of 5 billion, acquiring a 30% stake.
As for how these companies would distribute their interests and shares, that would be up to them, and He Xuyong and her husband wouldn’t interfere.
Yang Chen’s explicit requirent that a Hai Li Lao be opened next to every He Li Lao was also agreed to by He Xuyong and her husband.
He Li Lao has always been an imdiate competitor of Hai Li Lao — the two companies have identical offerings, from dishes to client targeting, even the services are identical, so it’s unclear who is plagiarizing whom.
If He Li Lao can be shut down, Hai Li Lao could dominate the mid-to-high-end hot pot market.
Previously, Hai Li Lao didn’t have enough capital to take down He Li Lao, but now, with so many investnt companies lending a hand, they could launch a final assault on He Li Lao.
anwhile, Liang Tao wasn’t idle.
He reached out to his senior at MIT, Zhang Jiacheng.
Liang Tao: "Hey, Brother Cheng, what have you been up to lately?"
Zhang Jiacheng: "Busy negotiating with foreigners, and preparing to deal with soone."
Liang Tao: "Who?"
Zhang Jiacheng: "You don’t know him, a ride-hailing driver."
Hmm?
A ride-hailing driver too?
Liang Tao: "What’s his na?"
Zhang Jiacheng: "Yang Chen. Do you know him?"
Liang Tao: "Haha...what a coincidence! I’m here this ti to ask Brother Cheng for help dealing with him."
Zhang Jiacheng’s expression beca serious, and he asked, "You also have a grudge against him?"
Liang Tao quickly exaggerated the feud between himself and Yang Chen, shifting all the bla onto Yang Chen, making himself appear like a pure victim.
Zhang Jiacheng laughed loudly, saying, "This rascal is indeed bad enough. So, you want our family to invest in your company to help you go public and then go after him?"
