High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 365 - 179: I Remember Every Injustice Master Li Suffered (Part 2)
After he finished speaking, Liu Yuheng, who was next to him, was shocked. "Dad, eleven billion in total, it’s simply not enough to pay off our family’s debts. Without the Fuguang Group, our family..."
If Liu Zhengxiong had any other means, he wouldn’t have accepted it.
Right now, he needed at least four billion.
But no one was willing to give him that money.
Moreover, all the assets in his hand were locked up and couldn’t be liquidated flexibly.
"Yuheng, later you and I will go out together, and I’ll liquidate all the family’s houses, cars, jewelry, and deposit everything in your account. As for the debts, I’ll bear it all; it’s just a few billion in debt, it won’t crush our family!"
Liu Yuheng was even more confused.
Liu Zhengxiong continued, "I will leave at least one billion for you. You must use this money well, and after settling things with Song Xiaoli, use her family’s influence to start over."
Although all this started because of Liu Yuheng, he didn’t blame him, because... Liu Yuheng had become his last lifeline.
As long as he protected Liu Yuheng, there was still hope for everything.
He could become a defaulter, a dishonest person.
But as long as Liu Yuheng still held chips, he could turn the tables at any time.
...
"Master Li, the Liu family agreed to sell, will you come with me tomorrow morning?"
Li Yang wondered, "This old guy is really ruthless, willing to sell for nine billion. Originally, I thought they wouldn’t settle for anything less than ten billion."
He could only admire Jiang Banxia’s ruthlessness, her attitude of completely cornering Liu Zhengxiong, and the amount she offered was just right.
If she had offered eight billion, Liu Zhengxiong might really not have sold.
Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "This way, they’ll still have at least three billion in external debt, and Fuguang Group’s cash flow has never exceeded two billion. I reckon he can figure out a way to liquidate one billion himself..."
Li Yang: "..."
He retracted his previous judgment; Jiang Banxia had calculated every last penny out of Liu Zhengxiong.
Indeed, Liu Zhengxiong could drain the Fuguang Group’s funds before leaving, but that would mean he’d never have hope of recovery.
However, he quickly asked, "What if Liu Zhengxiong desperately chooses to sacrifice himself to protect the family, transferring some assets to Liu Yuheng? As long as he shoulders the debt alone, it won’t impact Liu Yuheng."
Jiang Banxia nonchalantly said, "He has no opportunity; didn’t Master Li notice that Xiao Niansheng has disappeared from Jing University?"
Li Yang: "..."
Of course, he knew why Xiao Niansheng disappeared; back then, it was Xiao Niansheng who took all the blame for the money-laundering incident.
Jiang Banxia continued, "Xiao Niansheng’s father, Xiao Tianlong, is a minor shareholder of Fuguang Group with 3% of the shares. I can’t do much with Fuguang Group, but as long as I become the major shareholder, I can support Xiao Tianlong to become the chairman of Fuguang Group..."
Li Yang looked at Jiang Banxia with a strange expression, realizing that Jiang Banxia was not only calculating against Liu Zhengxiong but also had no plans to spare Liu Yuheng.
What right did Jiang Banxia have to support Xiao Tianlong as chairman?
There must be some interest exchange involved.
What interest did Xiao Tianlong have that was worth Jiang Banxia’s attention?
Jiang Banxia laughed and took Li Yang’s hand, "I remember every bit of grievance Master Li suffered. Before, I was powerless, but now... I’ll start collecting one by one..."
Li Yang took a deep breath, "In future, you won’t scheme against me, right? I’m quite simple and honest..."
"Yes, yes, Master Li is the most honest, everyone knows you’re an honest young man."
"Then it’s agreed, if I make a mistake, just point it out, don’t plot against me; otherwise, I might unwittingly lose everything."
"I wouldn’t; Master Li can do no wrong. If there’s a mistake, it must be something I didn’t do well."
"That’s good, that’s good..."
Li Yang relaxed a bit.
He knew that those who made money in the stock market couldn’t be good people.
Given the chance, she could defeat her opponents.
What he thought of, Jiang Banxia had surely thought of too.
So, if Liu Zhengxiong sold Fuguang Group, the Liu family would be completely done, with no way out, all paths leading to a dead end!
Jiang Banxia essentially spent an extra billion to send the Liu family a death sentence.
Even Li Yang initially thought Jiang Banxia guessed he wanted to acquire Fuguang Group, preemptively cutting him off to save some money.
But Jiang Banxia’s purpose turned out to be...
As it stands, Liu Zhengxiong honestly repaying the debt and becoming a defaulter, dragging his son into it, both father and son repaying together, is the best choice.
Because if so, Jiang Banxia wouldn’t target Liu Yuheng, and targeting him would be pointless.
If Liu Zhengxiong still tried to turn things around, secretly keeping resources for Liu Yuheng, then... Liu Yuheng would suffer even more.
Worse than being a defaulter, he should just obediently go work in a sewing factory!
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Talk about the machine without the factory.
...
The next morning, at the bank.
Jiang Banxia first took out ten billion to unlock the pledged shares for Liu Zhengxiong.
Then, under the supervision of a notary, the transactions were made.
The two stock transactions took less than an hour altogether.
The Green Water Group’s website was updated simultaneously, with Jiang Banxia purchasing shares from three people, formally announcing the acquisition.
Jiang Banxia’s acquisition directly drove a large influx of funds from outside markets, causing Green Water Group to hit its trading limit.
This was the first time Green Water Group hit its trading limit since last December.
If it didn’t rise, its market value would fall below ten billion.
Zheng Dasheng and those other shareholders were all dumbfounded.
What was going on?
They had always hoped to sell their stocks at a low price, but Jiang Banxia announced a stake?
Yesterday, when Bai Qing repurchased shares from small shareholders, the market didn’t react at all; today, Jiang Banxia announced a stake and immediately hit the trade limit?
Without their 18% stake, there are actually not many chips available in the market for Green Water Group, only about 7%, seeing as Bai Qing currently holds 45%, Jiangcheng County Government holds 20%, and Jiang Banxia holds 10%.
Sell now? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
No way! Selling now would mean losing money big time.
Green Water Group will definitely see several days of significant price increase.
It’s just that... he didn’t understand why Li Yang previously refused to buy their shares. Didn’t he know Jiang Banxia was going to announce a stake?
Even if he didn’t know previously, surely he knew before Jiang Banxia announced a stake? If he contacted to buy the shares at that time, he would have certainly agreed.
Now, their shares aren’t just worth two billion anymore.
He immediately made a phone call to Li Yang.
"President Li... this is Zheng Dasheng..."
"It’s like this, I have a question, did President Li know about Jiang Banxia’s stake announcement in Green Water Group?"
"Knew since yesterday? I understand, thank you, President Li... are you free for lunch? How about a meal together?"
"Okay, okay, I’ll arrange the place immediately."
Zheng Dasheng hung up the phone and called his family restaurant to prepare the best private room.
In a while, Li Yang would come over with Jiang Banxia for a meal.
Li Yang had made it very clear; he already knew Jiang Banxia would announce a stake in Green Water Group, but... he didn’t wish to take advantage of their shares.
He greatly admired Li Yang’s foresight, because the buzz in the market was that Green Water Group would at least double.
If it didn’t double, would it live up to Jiang Banxia’s reputation?
That would mean at least two billion in profits, and Li Yang just let it be.
Forget just one meal, even if he came to eat every day, he’d be very welcome.
Not to mention the opportunity to meet Jiang Banxia, the person with the highest influence in the current financial market.
Everyone knows Jiang Banxia is a God of Wealth; so many people want to speak to her.
Meanwhile, holding a billion yuan, Liu Zhengxiong returned home.
Yesterday, he had already, through other channels, mortgaged everything the family owned and placed it in an account in Port City, accessible only by Liu Yuheng, belonging solely to him.
Before signing the contract, he also went to Fuguang Group once and borrowed 120 million cash from its account.
Now he had 220 million in hand as an explanation to the creditors.
The leverage providers would definitely be paid in full; for other creditors, he only planned to settle with two.
These two were loyal friends who knew he’d repay them at all costs; if anything happened in the future, they might lend a hand.
"Yuheng, you should leave first, head to the Capital City and don’t come back unless necessary. Remember, seize every opportunity; you have no room for error now."
Liu Yuheng immediately said, "Dad, don’t worry, I will make a comeback!"
