In the Xu family, Xu Daqiang and his three sons talked until midnight, but they still couldn't come up with a good plan to save their family from its current situation. The only solution was to sell off some shares and use the money to keep the company afloat temporarily. However, the decline of the Jiang family also dragged down the joint investment projects they had, leaving the Xu family unprepared.
"Alright, that's enough for today. You all head back! It's getting late! Drive safely!"
"Okay, Dad!"
Just as the three brothers walked out of the villa gate, Xu Yaowei turned to Xu Yaotian and asked, "Third brother, why did you call me an idiot during dinner?"
"Big Bro! You have a crush on the butler next to Shang Yunyan, don't you!"
"How did you know!"
"Every person on Earth knows! Your eyes almost popped out when you saw that girl! Who couldn't notice!"
"Is it that obvious?!"
"Big Bro! Since you like that girl, and little sister might hit it off with Shang Yunyan too, you shouldn't have mentioned them in front of Dad. With his temper, he would overthink things and end up keeping little sister and Shang Yunyan apart. You might not get another chance to meet that girl!"
Hearing Xu Yaotian's words, Xu Yaowei nodded. He realized he had overlooked that point!
"Are you going home, Third Brother?"
"No! I just got word that someone's causing trouble at my bar. I need to check it out!"
"Be careful! Your nightclubs are always causing issues. If something serious happens, Dad definitely won't come to help you!"
"I don't need him to help! I'm off!" Xu Yaotian drove away first, while Xu Yaoyang and Xu Yaowei shook their heads and left the Tianhua Yipin villa as well!
In another villa in the capital, a woman sat on the floor crying.
"Honey, this is your wedding gift to me! You gave me this when you married me! Are we really going to sell it? What about our house?" Jiang Shiliang felt a pang of sadness when he heard his wife's words. He turned to her and said, "What else can we do? Can we keep our son locked up in prison for life? We can only gather whatever we can!"
She wiped her tears and gazed at the house where they had lived for over twenty years, breaking down again…
Two nights later, Jiang Shiliang sat in the living room of his villa. This was the last time he would sit here as the house had been auctioned off to someone else. He still needed nearly 5 billion for his son's compensation!
The remaining 250 billion had come from selling everything in the house and offloading some shares!
As for the shares left, according to regulations, he couldn't sell them for now unless the prohibition period ended!
"Buzz! Buzz!" The phone rang with an unfamiliar number. Jiang Shiliang was reluctant to answer. He just wanted to sit quietly and zone out!
But the phone kept ringing for a long time, and in the end, he pressed the answer button!
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Jiang Shiliang?"
"Who are you?"
"My surname is Shang. I saw your news and know that you urgently need money. I happen to need an investment company, and you have one. Are you interested in discussing the price?"
"What!!!! You want to buy my investment company!?" Jiang Shiliang was taken aback. No one had ever approached him about buying the company these days because everyone feared the might of Ai Hongcheng. They all knew that the Jiang family had offended such a big shot and dared not get involved!
"Yes! Yuan Investment, I think it's quite a good deal. Let's talk about the price!"
"Should we meet to discuss it?"
"Mr. Jiang, I know you need money right now, and I won't take advantage of your situation. But my circumstances don't allow me to spend extravagantly either. I can offer 1.4 billion, which is the most I can do! If you can accept it, I can transfer the money to you first. You just record a video of the share transfer agreement and send it to me. Then I can send someone to your home or company to collect the shares. After you talk to Ai Hongcheng tomorrow, we can schedule a time to finalize the share transfer. Of course, if you're not willing, I'll look for another way!"
"…" Jiang Shiliang fell silent. 1.4 billion was too cheap; the fundamental projects of his Yuan Investment were worth over 1 billion, and their annual profits were very high. However, because of his son's trouble and Ai Hongcheng's backing, no one dared to take his company even if it were given away for free, so for 1.4 billion, Jiang Shiliang had no choice but to agree!
Then, Shang Yunyan sent Shang Jiancheng to handle the share transfer and draft a share transfer agreement for Jiang Shiliang to sign. Upon receiving the agreement, without hesitation, Shang Yunyan transferred 1.4 billion into Jiang Shiliang's account!
Jiang Shiliang hadn't expected the other party to work so swiftly and efficiently. After agreeing to meet the next afternoon at 1 PM to handle the share transfer, Shang Yunyan hung up the phone!
