Chapter 130: Acquisition of Li Corporation Shares
by xennovelLi Hao kneeled on the ground, his expression changing unpredictably.
Xu Shaochen had just demanded fifty percent of Li Corporation’s shares. He never imagined Xu Shaochen’s appetite would be so large.
If he agreed, Xu Shaochen would become the largest shareholder of Li Corporation.
Since he only held ninety percent of the shares, giving fifty percent to Xu Shaochen would leave him with just forty.
The entire room went eerily quiet, everyone’s gaze focused on Li Hao.
Xu Shaochen remained seated, quietly observing Li Hao as he rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table, producing a “thud, thud, thud” sound.
It was as if each tap struck directly at Li Hao’s heart, increasing his pressure with each strike.
After a long silence, Li Hao helplessly sighed, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth as he spoke:
“Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your generosity. I will send him overseas to study and he will never return.”
This was an implicit agreement. To him, his son was more important than the company. After all, money could be earned again, but if his son was gone, he would be truly lost.
Moreover, all Xu Shaochen demanded was the shares; he wouldn’t interfere with the company’s affairs.
“Prepare the contract and finalize the equity transfer as soon as possible!”
As Xu Shaochen finished speaking, he stood up from his chair and, glancing at Li Yang, gave a faint smile and said, “You should be grateful you have a good father. Otherwise, the police might not have even found where your body was buried.”
Li Yang shuddered upon hearing this because he knew that Xu Shaochen wasn’t merely threatening him; he was truly prepared to do so.
“Farewell, Mr. Xu.”
Li Hao respectfully called out as he watched Xu Shaochen’s back disappear.
Since he had already bowed his head, he might as well bow all the way.
“Dad… can I… not go abroad?”
Trembling, Li Yang looked at Li Hao and asked. He genuinely didn’t want to go abroad. How could it be more fun overseas than it was here?
If he caused any trouble abroad, his father might not be able to resolve it. At least domestically, he could continue to act arrogantly.
Moreover, he couldn’t even speak English. Once abroad, how would he be any different from an illiterate person?
“Smack!”
Just as he finished speaking, a resounding slap landed on his face, leaving five bright red fingerprints in an instant.
“You don’t have to go, but I won’t care whether you live or die!”
Li Hao coldly replied. He was truly disappointed in his son. Li Yang had become utterly worthless in his eyes.
He only hoped that sending him overseas might straighten out his character. Otherwise, he would be beyond saving.
Feeling the burning pain on his face, despite his inner resentment, Li Yang didn’t dare to say another word.
“Also, when you return, divorce the woman from the Jiang Family. The child in her womb can be born and raised by our Li Family.”
Li Hao planned to personally raise that child. The elder son was already a failure, so it was time to nurture a new one.
As for divorcing Jiang Siyu, that was a must. If it weren’t for the Jiang Family, how would their Li Family have become involved in this mess?
“Dad… alright, I understand.”
Li Yang didn’t want to agree, but seeing Li Hao’s dark expression, he could only swallow back his words.
“Uncle, the painting… it hasn’t been given to him yet.” A young man nearby waved the scroll in his hand, speaking cautiously.
Li Hao let out a complex smile, chuckling softly, “It’s no longer necessary. After all, he just took a big bite out of Li Corporation. How could he still appreciate such a painting?”
In the future, it might still be called Li Corporation, but in reality, the name would now be Xu.
………
“Mr. Xu, if there’s nothing else you need, I’ll take my leave.”
Outside the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel, Sun Hai said as he looked at Xu Shaochen.
Today had been like a roller coaster; he needed to go back and sort everything out.
“Chairman Sun, take care. Let’s have tea together when you have time. Give my regards to Old Master Sun.”
Xu Shaochen replied with a calm smile, making a gesture of invitation.
“Rest assured, Mr. Xu. I’ll definitely pass on your greetings.”
Sun Hai nodded with a smile, then got into his Rolls-Royce and left.
“Head back to the Company.”
After watching the Rolls-Royce drive away, Xu Shaochen also bent down and got into his car.
Sitting in the car, he was still thinking about the fifty percent shares of Li Corporation.
Compared to making money from starting a company, this was so much more profitable. This was the real treasure trove!
He thought that in the future, he might specialize in provoking those brainless rich second generations, then ask their fathers for shares.
This was an excellent way of making money, like having a bunch of human-shaped ATMs waiting for him to withdraw from.
Of course, he was only joking; it’s not something he’d actually do.
Doing so would be too low-class, and it might lead to big trouble. After all, business was better conducted with peace. Who didn’t know that Young Master Xu was famous for being a peace envoy, a humanoid dove of peace?
When Xu Shaochen returned to the Company, Zhao Quan and the four bodyguards had already left, and the bloodstains on the floor had been cleaned up.
Except for the broken flower baskets outside, everything looked normal, as if nothing had happened earlier.
“Shaochen, how did it go?”
Seeing Xu Shaochen return, Liu Rushuang quickly walked up, a trace of worry on her face.
Xu Shaochen smiled slightly, “It’s nothing. Chairman Li is a reasonable person. After our peaceful negotiations, the problem has been amicably resolved.”
Long San and Long Si, standing behind Xu Shaochen, couldn’t stop their mouths from twitching when they heard that. Was that really an amicable resolution?
Well, maybe it was amicable for him.
But for Li Hao, it certainly wasn’t as friendly.
“Damn, that wretched bastard! He smashed the flower baskets I spent so much money on! I was planning to return them after the banquet and get a refund! My money!”
Mei Liangxin hugged his tattered flower baskets and cursed Li Yang through gritted teeth, his face full of grief.
Didn’t he know that Mei had been thrifty, spending one penny as if it were two?
“…………….”
Everyone who heard this felt an army of grass mud horses galloping through their minds.
What a strange maneuver!
Boss, the atmosphere was so tense, and you suddenly pulled off such a bizarre move; you nearly made us hurt our backs.
“Ladies and gentlemen, something unpleasant just happened. The banquet ends here. Sorry for the trouble.”
Xu Shaochen raised his voice slightly as he addressed everyone, his face showing signs of apology.
“Not at all, not at all. You’re too kind, Mr. Xu. It’s our honor that you hosted us.”
“Yes, yes! Since Mr. Xu is inconvenienced, we’ll take our leave.”
“Mr. Xu, I’m the owner of the company upstairs. Should you ever need anything, just say the word. I would not hesitate to walk through fire.”
Everyone said aloud, each with a flattering smile, then they respectfully left in an orderly manner.
Of course!
Now that Xu Shaochen was still speaking kindly to them, they all felt they were being honored.
Didn’t you see how miserably Li Yang and the others had just been treated?
