The Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Shixing, was becoming increasingly frail, his physical functions deteriorating almost daily. After mustering the strength to witness his eldest grandson's wedding, he was admitted directly to the hospital.
The doctor's advice was to fulfill the old man's wishes as much as possible and not to let him depart with any regrets.
Under these circumstances, the current family head, Zhou Weimin, felt even more urgent about selling the Financial Tower. He did not proceed with the typical calm and calculated approach of normal business negotiations.
In the terms of the contract, he was completely objective and fair, even yielding in some areas.
For instance, regarding the rent from several hundred tenants in the shopping mall, which amounted to over a hundred million and was still half a year from expiry, the Zhou family directly refunded seventy million to Chu Mo.
