Chapter 73 - Fang Family!

Lin Family Corporate Meeting Room.

Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo were very polite in greeting Xu Tian.

Lin Wanhao personally brewed tea for Xu Tian.

“There’s no need for formalities, let’s get down to business first,”

Xu Tian said with a smile.

“The purpose of my visit is already clear to you both.

Now, tell me how much money you need directly.”

Lin Luoluo took a deep breath.

“Mr.

Xu, before we discuss business, I have one question,”

“For someone of your stature, why would you come to help our Lin Family Corporate?”

“Is it because of Zhou Yu?”

Before arriving, Zhao Jianfeng had cautioned Xu Tian that Zhou Yu was very low-profile, and it was better not to involve him in investment matters.

Xu Tian had already prepared his explanation.

“It does have some relation to Mr.

Zhou,”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo were both visibly shocked.

Was it really because of Zhou Yu?

Xu Tian smiled slightly.

“However, it’s not largely related to him.”

“The thing is, Yancheng has developed rapidly over these years.

I came here to survey the local real estate market and planned to make some investments.”

“Upon arriving in Yancheng, I heard that Lin Family Corporate had a good reputation within the industry, so I came to see for myself and happened to meet Mr.

Zhou.”

“He briefed me about Lin Family Corporate, and after listening, I felt that the Lin Family Corporate was worth investing in.

I asked Mr.

Zhou to collaborate with me, and so we have today’s meeting.”

“That’s roughly the situation.

Can we talk about business now?”

Xu Tian’s explanation had many loopholes and questionable points, but because of his considerable reputation, Lin Wanhao and his daughter subconsciously believed him.

Lin Wanhao quickly said,

“Of course, let’s discuss business then.”

After speaking, Lin Wanhao hesitated for a moment before adding,

“Our Lin Family Corporate doesn’t need too much money right now, just 300 million to maintain normal operations will suffice.”

Although they were pleased that a major investor like Xu Tian was investing in Lin Family Corporate, they also didn’t want Xu Tian to inject too much capital, which could dilute the Lin Family’s shares and cause them to lose control of the corporation.

That’s why Lin Wanhao suggested the figure of 300 million.

Lin Wanhao asked nervously,

“What do you think, investing 300 million for how many shares?”

Xu Tian smiled lightly.

“I only want 1% of the shares.”

“What?”

Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo were both stunned.

300 million for just 1% of the shares?

This was practically giving the Lin Family Corporate 300 million for free.

Why?

“What?

Not satisfied?” Xu Tian asked with a smile.

“No, no, no, it’s not that, I…

just don’t understand!” Lin Luoluo shook her head.

“You’ve spent so much effort and even came here personally to invest 300 million, yet you only want 1% of the shares, I really…”

Xu Tian laughed,

“It’s nothing, this is just my way of investing.

If there are no issues, let’s sign the contract now and I’ll immediately have the money transferred to your corporation.”

Xu Tian’s smile was stiff on his face.

Given his stature, if not for Zhao Jianfeng personally instructing him on this matter, he wouldn’t normally deal with small companies like Lin Family Corporate.

But he had no choice.

He was brought up by the Zhao Family, and although Guanghan Investments appeared to be his company, the real control was still in the hands of the Zhao Family.

He had to act according to the orders of the Zhao Family.

Lin Luoluo felt that there was something incredibly suspicious about the whole situation, but since Xu Tian had already spoken, she didn’t feel it appropriate to ask more questions.

After all, Lin Family Corporate wouldn’t be at a loss in any way.

After having the contract printed, both parties quickly completed the signing process.

Meanwhile, Huang Zongsheng, after leaving Lin Family Corporate, didn’t return to Zongsheng Group nor went home but instead headed to a clubhouse in the southern suburbs of Yancheng.

As he arrived at the entrance of the clubhouse, he was stopped by security personnel.

“This is a private clubhouse, no entry without an appointment,”

Huang Zongsheng said politely,

“I’m here to see Fang Jianhuai.

My name is Huang Zongsheng, chairman of the Zongsheng Group.

Fang Jianhuai knows me, please inform him.”

The security personnel said coldly,

“Wait here.”

“Alright, thank you,” Huang Zongsheng replied politely.

Huang Zongsheng, being the chairman of top-tier Zongsheng Group in Yancheng, was humbling himself at this moment, a sight that would surely drop jaws among onlookers.

But he had no choice because the owner of this clubhouse, known as Fang Jianhuai, Fang Family’s Second Master.

In Yancheng, the top powers are not these corporations but the three major families.

These three families are the Zhao Family, the Fang Family, and the Xu Family.

Among these, the Zhao Family is the undeniable leader, followed by the Fang Family.

Now, his plan to incorporate Lin Family Corporate had suffered heavy losses due to the Zhao Family, coupled with the threat from the enigmatic martial artist Zhou Yu.

Huang Zongsheng was completely powerless and had to seek support.

The only power in Yancheng that could contend with the Zhao Family was the Fang Family.

The Fang Family had once asked him to join them, but Huang Zongsheng had not agreed.

Now, he was out of options and had to turn to the Fang Family.

Soon, the security personnel returned.

“You can go in now; the Second Master is waiting for you.”

“Thank you!”

After thanking them, Huang Zongsheng walked inside.
