Chapter 260: Magical World
Lu Yiming had brought too many "fucking surprises" to Ge Youcai today, so much so that when Lu Yiming slowly said Zhou Youguang's name, an ominous premonition immediately emerged from the depths of Ge Youcai's heart, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
As for Ge Deqiu who was standing aside, he had always been a very conceited person since he was a child, but now he was being led by Lu Yiming. This passive feeling made him feel very bad, especially his father's silence, which made him even more anxious.
Ge Deqiu was very eager to break this situation, and immediately retorted to Lu Yiming indignantly: "So what?"
Unlike Ge Deqiu, Ge You is a man who has seen many storms.
He immediately stopped his son from yelling at Lu Yiming, and then asked Lu Yiming in doubt: "Brother Lu, you don't mean that Lao Zhou and Shi Caijiang and that damned pouncer are in cahoots, right? "
This was what he had just thought of subconsciously. After all, what Lu Yiming brought him today was not good news.
It was like this just now, and it will be no exception now.
Shi Caijiang and Zhou Youguang held a combined 58% of Jingyi Real Estate shares, while Ge Youcai, as the founder, only held 42%. If Shi Caijiang and Zhou Youguang joined forces to cause trouble, Ge Youcai might even have to leave the company he founded!
In fact, Lu Yiming learned this news by accident when he asked Li Qiu to investigate.
He was very sensitive to this information, so he spent some money and asked Li Qiu to investigate more deeply. Finally, he confirmed that Shi Caijiang had actually had very frequent private contacts with Zhou Youguang for a long time, and the two would meet every week at the same snack bar far away from the city center.
Too many coincidences mean there must be some unspeakable secret.
Lu Yiming had already grasped the entire situation and took the lead in the negotiations, so he could face Ge Youcai calmly: "This is not what I meant, but it is the fact. I have already called and confirmed with Mr. Zhou that he is indeed planning to conspire with General Shi Cai to divide up your Jingyi Real Estate, and they have already started to take action."
Ge Youcai was so angry that his face turned purple, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled as if he had received an electric shock. Then he said in a deep voice: "Jingyi Real Estate is a company I founded. I have people all over the company. Even if Shi Caijiang and Zhou Youguang have more shares, it will not be easy for them to take me down in a short time."
Even at this point, Ge Youcai had not given up hope.
After all, when he sold his shares, he had already prepared for this move. At least he and Shi Caijiang had signed a joint actor agreement. In theory, Shi Caijiang could not join forces with other shareholders to target him.
Lu Yiming did shake his head slightly and said with a smile: “In fact, it’s not difficult, at least it’s much simpler than you think.”
Ge Youcai snorted and retorted stubbornly: "That's impossible!"
Lu Yiming said calmly, smiling the whole time: "Everything is possible. When you run your company, you must have done a lot of illegal fund allocation, right?"
Ge Youcai was shocked, his eyes widened and he stared at Lu Yiming, his eyeballs almost popping out.
He really didn't know how many secrets this young man in front of him held.
Of course, Ge Youcai has more than one Lean Real Estate under his name, but in fact, for the convenience of business, he also has several small companies - this is actually the norm, which successful entrepreneur only has one company?
Sometimes, when they need money urgently, they will directly withdraw funds from the account of Lean Real Estate for emergency use. It's just a transfer from one hand to the other, and they can fill in the account when they get the money back.
From a personal emotional point of view, this makes perfect sense.
It's like someone who has several credit cards in his hand, who occasionally borrows from Peter to pay Paul.
However, this kind of thing is illegal after all!
It would be fine if no one pursues the matter, but once someone catches them and doesn't let them go, they can be sent to jail in a matter of minutes.
In fact, this kind of thing is the so-called unspoken rule.
Ge Youcai is not the first person to do this, and naturally he cannot be the last, let alone the only one.
But if Zhou Youguang and Shi Caijiang use this to make a fuss, then Ge Youcai will definitely be charged with economic crimes and will easily be sentenced to two years in prison.
In a few years, it will be questionable whether the Lean Real Estate brand will still be there.
Only then did Ge Youcai realize that this was what Lu Yiming meant when he said whether he could wait or not.
He really couldn't wait.
Of course he can file a lawsuit against Shicaijiang for transferring assets, but what good will it do to win the lawsuit when you are left with nothing?
Reality is very cruel, otherwise there would be no deadbeats.
Having lost his position as CEO of Jingyi Real Estate, even if Ge Youcai could win the lawsuit, he would not be able to enforce it because he no longer had the ability to do anything to Shi Caijiang.
At this point, it is no longer a question of whether you can make money, but whether you can "survive".
From the beginning to the end, Lu Yiming was actually just talking nonsense, and a lot of the content was just "speculation", but Ge Youcai didn't dare to gamble. If he lost the bet, he would not only lose everything but also go to jail.
Ge Youcai can only believe that what Lu Yiming said is true. After all, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen. At least if someone uses the method that Lu Yiming just mentioned to deal with him, he will definitely not be able to escape.
"Brother, what should I do now? You have to help me."
Lu Yiming sat still and said calmly, "Didn't I say it just now? For 30 million, sell me the cross-shareholdings in your hands. I will bear the risk, and you will get 30 million as a guarantee, so at least you won't lose everything."
Ge Youcai thought for a long time, then his face changed slightly, as if someone was pinching his life root, and he said with his back teeth clenched: "Add another 100 million, and I will sell all my shares of Jingyi Real Estate to you!"
Jingyi Real Estate is the largest company in Ge Youcai's hands, and most of his income comes from Jingyi Real Estate. Although the scale of Jingyi Real Estate is not worth mentioning compared with Jingwan Group, it was sold as a whole for 100 million yuan, which can be said to be a powder fracture.
Ge Deqiu got anxious when he heard this: "Dad, what are you doing? Our Jingyi Real Estate has been developing rapidly recently. We have already acquired a lot of land. Once we build it and sell it, we will make at least several hundred million in profit. Why are you selling the company for only one hundred million?"
Once Lean Real Estate is sold, how can he continue to be a rich second generation?
Can a mere 100 million be compared with a real estate company with unlimited financial prospects?
What's more, in Godqiu's view, Lean Real Estate is now the hen that is about to lay golden eggs.
This is not the way to kill the chicken to get the eggs.
Under Ge Youcai's management, Lean Real Estate's business is booming and is still quite valuable. The shares he holds alone are worth at least 150 million yuan now, not to mention the huge room for appreciation after the Nanwan Economic Development Zone is developed.
But business is business, how can you not take advantage? Lu Yiming didn't care how much Ge Youcai lost. He shook his head first, then calmly reported a new number: "80 million."
Ge Deqiu slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Lu Yiming and angrily scolding: "Lu, don't go too far!"
It’s fine to be called nephew so many times, but now Lu Yiming actually wants to steal from the house. This is something that even a nephew can tolerate, and an uncle cannot.
Ge Youcai was no longer in the mood to care about Ge Deqiu. He smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Lu is so calculating. I am convinced of my defeat this time. Deal."
Eighty million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for a successful entrepreneur, it is nothing.
But Ge Youcai had no choice.
Take 80 million and walk away, or go to jail and lose everything. This choice is not difficult.
Lu Yiming said shamelessly: "Brother Ge, you are too polite. Let's help each other."
Ge Youcai shook his head slightly and sighed: "I have seen what Brother Lu is capable of today. If my son can have half of your ability, I will be satisfied in this life."
Godqiu was immediately shocked.
How the hell did this get involved with me?
However, he didn't dare to speak now. Meeting with Lu Yiming today made him fully realize what it meant that the world is becoming more corrupt and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be.
When he left, Ge Youcai looked very lonely. Although he got the money, he lost the career he had worked hard for. It is easy to imagine how bad his mood was.
However, he did not bear much grudge against Lu Yiming. After all, it was Shi Caijiang who was responsible for the incident. If Lu Yiming had not informed him in advance, it would have been a luxury for him to get away with the money, let alone get away safely, a few years later.
There are too many examples of self-made billionaires in this era who ended up in jail for economic crimes. The most famous of them is the once-powerful Huang.
He was also accused of economic crimes because of the company's shareholders' troubles, and then spent twelve years in prison.
Although the company was saved because of his wife, it also missed the best opportunity for development. When he was released, talented people emerged in every generation, and his era had completely become a thing of the past.
Lu Yiming personally escorted Ge Youcai out the door. After all, he had taken such a big advantage of his elder brother, so he still had to give him due face. The customer is God after all.
After Lin Shuyi finished chatting with Zheng Youyuan, she found that Lu Yiming's game had been over. She remembered Ge Deqiu's roars just now, and felt very curious, so she asked, "What happened just now? Why were you guys yelling?"
Lu Yiming did not hide anything and told what had just happened.
Lin Shuyi was very surprised to hear that Lu Yiming only spent 80 million to acquire Lean Real Estate.
"You are really ruthless. You are taking advantage of others' misfortune."
Lu Yiming disagreed with Lin Shuyi's definition of the matter. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's business, we both agree, how can it be considered robbery? I am willing to buy, he is willing to sell, we are just friends."
Of course, Lin Shuyi would not believe Lu Yiming's lies. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said sarcastically, "You are taking advantage of others and still acting cute. You can make money faster by doing business than by robbing people."
Then, Lin Shuyi remembered what she had just talked about with Zheng Youyuan, and said unhappily: "Didn't you say that you are not interested in real estate? What do you want to do by buying the shares of Jingyi Real Estate now?"
She just said that Lu Yiming was not interested in real estate, and she could introduce Lu Yiming as an investor to compete with Li Chaoren, the fierce dragon that had crossed the river.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Lu Yiming acquired a real estate company.
Lu Yiming looked innocent: "I'm not interested in real estate. But Brother Ge and I are so close, he insisted on giving me the company, I couldn't refuse. Can you blame me? Otherwise, if you like it, I'll sell it to you, for a fixed price of 500 million."
"roll."
Lu Yiming curled his lips and muttered, "She's so fierce, it will definitely be hard for her to get married in the future..."
Lin Shuyi looked unhappy and her voice rose eight degrees: "What did you say?"
Lu Yiming said quickly, "I say, this damn Ge Youcai doesn't want this company himself, but he insisted on forcing it on me. I'm worried now and don't know what to do. I've never been involved in real estate, and I'm a complete novice in this field. By the way, Mr. Lin, how about this, you come and buy some shares? You're my senior in this field, and you can definitely give me a lot of inspiration."
Lin Shuyi thought about it for a moment, then smiled inexplicably and said softly, "Okay."
Even if they bought shares in a small company like Jingyi Real Estate, they would only have to spend tens of millions, which was nothing to Jingwan Group.
The reason why Lin Shuyi agreed to invest was mainly because she was very curious about what Lu Yiming wanted to do.
Seeing that Lin Shuyi agreed so straightforwardly, Lu Yiming immediately joked, "Boss Lin is indeed very wealthy. He even dares to invest in a real estate rookie like me. Aren't you afraid that I will make a rash move and lose all your money?"
Lin Shuyi glared at Lu Yiming fiercely, gritting her teeth and warning him: "If you dare to lose my money, you're dead!"
Lu Yiming took two steps back and put on a frightened expression: "Wow, you are too cruel. In business, there are definitely gains and losses. Are you asking me to pay with my life? How about paying with my body?"
"Oh, wishful thinking!"
On the other side, after leaving Jingyunju, Ge Youcai and his son quickly rushed to the company.
On the way, Ge Deqiu looked anxious: "Dad, what if that Lu Yiming is trying to trick us?"
Ge Youcai said bitterly: "I will go back and find someone to verify this matter. If it is real, the company can only be sold. If it is fake, can't I regret it?"
Ge Deqiu was immediately shocked: "Then why did you agree just now, Dad?"
"What do you know? If I don't say this, how can I keep that Lu guy stable? Anyway, the contract hasn't been signed yet, so I'll just find an excuse to delay it."
After this incident, Godqiu finally understood what the cunning of businessmen was.
His most respected uncle Shi Caijiang was a treacherous person, and his most admired father was also fickle. On the contrary, Lu Yiming, the person he despised and hated the most, was upright from beginning to end He only put pressure on others but did not use any conspiracy or trickery.
This is truly a magical world.
