Chapter 338 Bring Him a Chair
It turned out that the crutch that Hunchback Hua had been holding in his hand had been snatched away by Yang Chengrong in a lightning speed.
"I'll attack your mother!"
"You old thing! You really think you're somebody!"
"Do you have the right to interrupt me when I'm talking?"
Yang Chengrong's voice was cold, and he held the cane tightly in both hands, hitting the hunchbacked Hua again and again!
"Ouch!"
"what!!!"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
Hunchback Hua could only cover his head with his hands and keep shouting for mercy.
Every blow from the cane made him grimace in pain, his facial features twisted, and even his hunchback seemed to be straightened.
At this time, Wu Zhixiong, who was standing by Heji, suppressed his inner fear and could not help but say, "Brother Hao, Uncle Hua is a veteran of Heji after all, and he is also one of Heji's own."
"He's so old now, it's enough, right?"
Before Lin Zehao could say anything, A Mai on the side took a few steps forward, swung his arm, and slapped him in the face!
Snapped! ! !
A crisp sound was heard, and the short Wu Zhixiong was stunned. He covered his face with an expression of disbelief.
"Do you understand the rules?"
"Do you have the right to speak in this kind of situation?"
As he said this, A Mai was about to continue, but Lin Zehao stopped him with a look.
He exhaled a puff of smoke, and the rich aroma instantly filled the entire box. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "The old lady who sells rice noodle rolls downstairs in our company is also very old, but she is in good health and has never been beaten. Do you know why?"
Wu Zhixiong covered his face and shook his head, "I don't know, Brother Hao..."
It was not until now that he finally understood why people said that Wei Long Hao could represent Hutchison, but Hutchison could no longer represent Wei Long Hao.
These younger brothers of theirs always listen to Hunchback Hua bragging about how much Wei Longhao respects him and so on.
When I saw him today, I realized that the so-called harmony picture and Hunchback Hua were nothing in his eyes.
For Wu Zhixiong, his time in Hehetu was not satisfactory. Following a big boss like Tuobei Hua who valued form over substance, he always felt like he had nowhere to use his skills.
In his opinion, a big boss should be like Wei Longhao!
So cruel and powerful!
A big shot like Lin Zehao, even if he doesn't say anything, just sitting there, can make people feel pressured and fearful.
If you could become a younger brother under Wei Longhao, you can’t imagine how powerful it would be!
After this thought flashed through Wu Zhixiong's mind, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He didn't even feel the slightest pain from the slap on his face.
Lin Zehao bent his index and middle fingers and tapped the table, making a crisp sound. He said in a magnetic voice, "It's simple, because she never meddles in other people's business."
"The worst thing for a person is not knowing his own worth, and pretending to be a big shot everywhere. Even if I don't teach you a lesson today, you will be killed by others tomorrow."
"I'm just trying to save you, Uncle Hua!"
Yang Chengrong tightly grasped the cane and hit Hunchback Hua's hunchback several times, shouting loudly: "Flop!"
"My boss is talking to you!"
It was not until this time that Hunchback Hua finally reacted. He endured the pain in his body, struggled to kneel on the ground, and said, "Brother Hao, I was ignorant and took advantage of my age. Please don't take it to heart..."
Just as he was about to kowtow, Hutchison's younger brother grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
Hearing this, Lin Zehao waved his hands and said with a smile: "I have always respected my elders, why would I ask you to kowtow to me?"
"Bring a chair for Uncle Hua to sit on. We still need him to mediate today's matter."
Although Lin Zehao's tone was as warm as a spring breeze when he spoke, Zheng Yutong, Hunchback Hua, and Zheng Jiachun who was lowering her head like an ostrich, were all frightened and trembled. The fear on their faces could not be concealed at all.
At this moment, Zheng Yutong was feeling very regretful. He had made one mistake after another in choosing to be the enemy of Lin Zehao!
At the beginning, I didn't take it seriously. I only knew the other party's apparent identity. Even though I felt that there were many strange things at the time, I had no intention of conducting a further investigation.
Subsequently, the company failed to seize the only opportunity to use courtesy before force, which resulted in serious economic losses to its industries and even irreversible damage to its brand value!
Finally, he wanted to find a middleman to mediate, and during the process he contacted many people in the underworld, but without exception, they were all rejected and no one dared to accept his offer.
When I wanted to ask the reason, everyone seemed to be very secretive and couldn't give a specific answer.
This is Zheng Yutong's last chance. If he can keenly realize that these people are afraid to take this job because of Lin Zehao's identity, he may adjust his strategy and change the outcome.
Unfortunately, he was so overwhelmed that he did not seize the opportunity and did not pay attention to this detail.
Until there was no one left to choose from, Hunchback Hua took the initiative to contact him and offered a sky-high price of one million silver notes!
After bargaining, the price was reduced to 600,000.
You know, in this level of game, neglecting a detail may lead to a huge difference in the final result.
Not to mention, Zheng Yutong was wrong almost from beginning to end and never made a correct choice.
This doesn't mean he is stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.
It can only be said that humans, as creatures, at certain times, will become lazy and underestimate the enemy. This is caused by the privilege of human beings.
No matter how wise and powerful a person is, he will always make a few mistakes.
It's just that some are fatal, while others are insignificant.
Just like Sun Shiwan in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, he did make incredible moves, so much so that he was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
But looking at his entire life, who can say that he was a fool?
Many times, the reasons for success may be the same, but the reasons for failure are varied.
For Cheng Yu-tung, perhaps the most fatal mistake he made was choosing to target Hutchison Jewellery.
When you choose the wrong opponent, you have already lost.
"Thank you, Brother Hao, thank you, Brother Hao..."
Hunchback Hua thanked him profusely and sat down on the chair carefully. He no longer dared to sit upright on the chair and call himself Zehao as he did before.
At this moment, his body was covered with scars, but there was nothing abnormal on his face.
Because, when he took action, Yang Chengrong did not attack his face.
Perhaps this is the only consolation for Hunchback Hua.
Afterwards, Hunchback Hua didn't say anything. He just sat there, suppressing his inner fear and constantly giving a humble fake smile.
Lin Zehao glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Standing there and grinning like an idiot, what's that?"
"Do you still need me to teach you the process of setting up the table?"
Hearing this, Hunchback Hua was immediately startled and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, Brother Hao, you don't have to teach me..."
At this time, his heart was full of regret. Usually others gave him face and said that he was a veteran of Hutchison.
As time went by, he actually began to believe it.
He actually dared to take the initiative to set the stage when it came to Wei Longhao...
Hunchback Hua shook off the thoughts in his mind, suppressed his inner fear, looked at Zheng Yutong who lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zheng, tell me what you want."
After saying this dry sentence, Hunchback Hua shut his mouth.
Now he doesn't dare to say any more.
The truth that too much talk leads to mistakes was finally verified today.
"Mr. Lin, this is my fault. I take full responsibility."
"As long as you can give me a way out, I will be grateful for your kindness and will never dare to bargain!"
Zheng Yutong raised his head and slowly spoke the words he had considered for a long time. Although his voice was trembling, everyone could feel the firmness contained in it. At this moment, he finally abandoned his previous mistakes and showed the demeanor of a business tycoon when facing inevitable failure.
Because it was not until now that Zheng Yutong regarded Lin Zehao, a young man in his twenties who was not even as old as his son, as a person of the same level.
"In fact, doing business is just like being in the underworld. If you make a mistake, you must admit it. If you get beaten, you must stand at attention."
"Since you said so, I'll give you a chance."
"In a word, the 47% of New World Development shares you hold are worth 50 million."
Lin Zehao narrowed his eyes, his ink-black eyes staring at Zheng Yutong's eyes seemingly casually.
After hearing this condition, Zheng Yutong didn't even wait to say anything, Zheng Jiachun behind him raised her head and shouted loudly: "You wish!"
"In 1970, when my father founded New World Development, he invested nearly 100 million!"
"Now, after so many years of development, the market value has long exceeded 500 million!"
"You want to exchange 50 million for 40% of the shares? You might as well just go rob!"
Lin Zehao didn't even look at him. The next second, a Browning High-Power rifle appeared in Zheng Jiachun's mouth. The muzzle of the gun was extremely cold, and the smell of gunpowder uncontrollably entered his nose.
He clearly saw that the safety hammer of the gun had been pressed down!
Zheng Jiachun, who lived a life of luxury, had never experienced such a situation before. Fear immediately appeared on his face. He subconsciously raised his hands and looked at his father for help.
"Your father hasn't said anything, do you have a say here?"
Yang Chengrong said this, clenched his right fist, and punched him hard in the stomach!
"vomit!!!"
Zheng Jiachun immediately arched her body uncontrollably, her face flushed red, like a cooked shrimp!
I subconsciously covered my stomach with both hands. My stomach was churning, but I couldn't vomit anything.
Zheng Yutong took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said calmly, "Mr. Lin, my son is ignorant, so let's just teach him a lesson."
Years of ups and downs in the business world told him that as long as Lin Zehao offered a price, the matter could be negotiated.
After figuring out the truth of this matter, Zheng Yutong was naturally no longer as frightened and panicked as before.
I have to say, ginger is still spicy with age!
"Since Mr. Zheng has spoken, I will naturally give him face."
"Ah Rong, show Mr. Zheng a seat."
Lin Zehao still had that smiling face and waved at Yang Chengrong.
The younger brother brought a chair over, and Yang Chengrong pushed Zheng Jiachun onto it, saying coldly, "Why don't you say thank you, Brother Hao?"
Zheng Jiachun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Hao, thank you, Brother Hao..."
At this moment, he looked at Lin Zehao with an indifferent expression and finally understood that in the other party's eyes, he was just a junior and could not even get a rank.
Lin Zehao still didn't look at him, but just smoked his cigar.
"Mr. Lin, although I just interrupted you without knowing the rules, what I said is the truth."
"You don't do business this way. I've worked hard for so many years, and you're just saying it to take it away. No one would agree to such a condition."
When he said this, Zheng Yutong paused deliberately, staring at Lin Zehao's reaction, and found that he was still calm and composed, with even a faint smile on his lips.
At this time, Zheng Yutong understood that although Lin Zehao was young, he was definitely not inferior to old foxes like them in terms of sophistication and depth!
In fact, it exceeds by a lot!
At least, Zheng Yutong asked himself that when he was Lin Zehao's age, he was far from having such ability.
Seeing that Lin Zehao didn't say anything, Zheng Yutong had to continue: "Actually, to be honest, I want to work with Lin Sheng."
"After all, in terms of all aspects of strength, Mr. Lin is a perfect partner."
"It's just that the price you offered is really inappropriate."
These words were not meant to flatter Cheng Yutong, but were simply the truth.
First of all, in terms of capital, Lin Zehao is also one of the wealthy tycoons in Hong Kong Island. Although he is still young, this is not a big deal in the face of absolute strength.
Secondly, in terms of professionalism, Hutchison Jewellery has been able to achieve such results in such a short period of time since its establishment, and can even compete with Chow Tai Fook and even temporarily surpass it, which is enough to illustrate Lin Zehao's management ability.
Moreover, Zheng Yutong judged from the quality of Hutchison Jewelry products that Lin Zehao should have control over a high-quality jade mine, or have a stable supply channel.
Either way, it is a very scarce resource in the jewelry industry.
Not only is the quality high, it also means lower costs.
Finally, there is Lin Zehao’s influence in the underworld and his absolute authority in the security industry.
If Chow Tai Fook had a share of Lin Zehao, Cheng Yutong didn't believe that those provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers would risk their lives to rob!
Just by looking at the tip of the iceberg that Lin Zehao showed today, he was completely convinced!
"How about this, Mr. Lin pays 100 million silver notes, and I give up 20% of my shares. I can also persuade other shareholders to give up another 10% in total. How do you think?"
Zheng Yutong pondered for a long time and stated his conditions.
If one follows the simplest business logic and simply calculates losses and profits, he will undoubtedly lose money on this business.
Not to mention that he invested more than 100 million yuan to establish New World Development, and he has invested more than 1 billion yuan in the development of the hotel industry and real estate industry over the years. And this is just his personal investment, not counting other shareholders.
Now, they are selling 30% of their shares for only 100 million yuan. If we calculate it with simple numbers, it will definitely be a huge loss!
But, many times, business doesn’t work that way!
Today’s New World Development has gathered nearly 80% to 90% of Hong Kong Island’s jewelry and gold shops. It is no exaggeration to say that all the elites in Hong Kong Island’s jewelry industry are among them.
If, together with Hutchison Jewellery, the recently emerging king, they are fully capable of monopolizing the jewelry market in Hong Kong Island and setting rules for the industry!
Coupled with Lin Zehao's comprehensive strength in all aspects, they are fully capable of doing this!
And the profit brought by this is definitely not as simple as one or two hundred million, or even several hundred million!
Just like for many companies that need investment, they don’t just lack money, but lack influence and channels somewhere.
And Lin Zehao is definitely a perfect partner!
"Mr. Zheng, forgive me for being blunt, but I have never had the habit of being a subordinate."
"Forty percent of the shares is not enough."
Lin Zehao knocked the ash off his cigar and shook it onto the ground. His tone was still so calm, and it didn't affect the smile on his lips at all.
Decent and elegant!
"Mr. Lin, your ambition is too big, isn't it?"
“Although I am the largest shareholder of New World Development, there are some things that I cannot decide on my own.”
"You want to get absolute controlling rights, but I can't make the decision on this matter."
Zheng Yutong touched the mole on his face and shook his head slowly.
He also didn't want to give up absolute controlling rights. We are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one wants to play the game of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Only by holding absolute controlling rights can one maximize one's own interests.
Who doesn’t worry about working hard for a long time only to get nothing in the end?
Lin Zehao threw the short piece of cigar in his hand to the ground, raised his beautiful eyebrows, and said, "If you can't make the decision, what are you talking about?"
"In that case, there is no need for us to talk."
As he said this, Lin Zehao was about to get up and leave. Seeing this, Zheng Yutong quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, we can talk. We can make the decision. We can continue to talk..."
All of Chow Tai Fook’s 62 gold shops were unable to open, and the daily losses alone on the books were no small sum.
What's more, the brand value is constantly declining and it cannot be measured in terms of money.
Today, after seeing the tip of the iceberg of Lin Zehao's power, Zheng Yutong didn't dare to gamble on what the consequences would be if the talks failed.
If he rejected this last chance, Zheng Yutong didn't know whether bankruptcy would be waiting for him.
Lin Zehao sat down, took out a pure gold Dupont lighter from his pocket, put it in his hand and started playing with it.
Another ten thousand, please give me a monthly ticket!
