Chapter 113: Arranging Xiao Feng

Within Da Heng Group, everyone's opinion is the same: we toss the burden out and still made ten million.

I approved Sun Dajun's plan, and it's already being carried out; Sun Dajun is even smug about it.

Ya Li is also pleased; she had us shed the bad assets, and we did so quickly, which matches her intention.

Niu Ju is also happy; Sun Dajun has gained the group's trust.

His goal can be considered achieved.

Du County is also happy; they bought a mineral resource very cheaply.

I'm also happy; my plan has taken another step forward.

Only Kong Shi is displeased, for unknown reasons.

He doesn't want us to deal with Qi He Mine, nor does he want Du County to take over Qi He Mine,

and we haven't acted according to his wishes.

From the way Kong Shi looks at Du County, one can sense that

Du County doesn't have many days left on the stage; I must act quickly, push the plan forward, lest Du County suddenly steps down, which would introduce many uncertainties.

That night the group held another banquet; Niu Ju and Du County attended gladly. Ya Li, Sun Dajun, and Shi Yong and the others accompanied Niu Ju.

Kong Shi said he had a sudden matter and couldn't attend.

I made an excuse, saying I needed to go to the hospital to check my leg.

So I didn't attend the banquet either.

I had Xiao Long take me to Xiao Feng's Tianxiang Grand Hotel.

I need to discuss the next step of work with Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was waiting for me in the room.

When I entered the room, I happily said to Xiao Feng, "Xiao Feng, what a happy occasion."

"What happy occasion? Look how excited you are; sit down quickly. Xiao Long, bring a towel for you, big master, to wipe the sweat," Xiao Feng said.

Xiao Long fetched a towel for me from the restroom,

I vigorously wiped my face,

then said, "Xiao Feng, you know what? We have already sold Qi He Mine today."

"What? That's way too fast; I thought it wouldn't be until after September," Xiao Feng exclaimed.

"Xiao Feng, how could I dare be sluggish about the matters you arranged? I must act immediately," I said with a smile.

"Alright, don't say that, my Chairman Zhao," Xiao Feng said, then poured me a glass of water.

I took the cup and took a big gulp.

Xiao Long said beside me, "Big master, Aunt Feng, I'm going downstairs first; whatever you eat, I'll bring it up for you in a moment."

Xiao Feng replied, "Xiao Long, buy some beer and ready‑to‑eat food. I want to celebrate with Chairman Zhao."

Xiao Long said, "Okay, Aunt Feng, I'm heading downstairs."

Xiao Feng then asked me, "Brother Xinseng, what you just said is true; you must not deceive me."

I smiled, "How could I lie to you."

Xiao Feng asked, "How did you operate? I heard that Kong Shi wants to keep Qi He Mine; he's sending people to contact Zaocheng Mining Group."

I replied, "Kong Shi looks displeased. I first found the Mine Director Chen of Qi He Mine, had him bring people to our group to demand wages, then after I contacted Du County, we negotiated the price of Qi He Mine."

Then just like that, in the group's main hall, we conducted the transaction right in front of Kong Shi.

Kong Shi had no choice,

since there was no underhanded dealing here, it also solved the Qi He Mine issue, and he had nothing to say.

After I finished speaking, Xiao Feng pointed at me and said, "My Xinseng is still the clever one. Then for the next step, we must quickly establish a company to purchase Qi He Mine from Lanling County."

I nodded,

"I called you here to discuss this matter.

I have already negotiated with Du County.

He will spend ten million to buy Qi He Mine; after a period we will repurchase it for eight million; of the two‑million difference, one million belongs to him.

Later, he will enjoy the dividends from Qi He Mine."

"So we don't have to put out any of our own money to get Qi He Mine.

The only issue is how you will transfer that ten million.

I heard that the representative your company sent from Southern Group has been watching your company's finances," Xiao Feng asked.

"I will handle this; I've already discussed with Building Materials Supplier General Manager Yu, and the transaction will go through his company. Once the money arrives, I'll have him come to our company to settle accounts; after all, we owe him over twenty million."

"If we don't pay him, he'll stop supplying building materials."

"As long as the ten million is transferred to his account, we keep nine million and give him one million as part of the payment."

"The other one million goes to Du County, and the remaining eight million we use to buy Qi He Mine," I said.

Xiao Feng clapped her hands happily,

"Great, now nobody can say anything about it.

I'll fly back to Hainan first thing tomorrow morning,

and set up a company in Hainan,

so that General Manager Yu transfers nine million to the account of our Hainan company.

We will then use the Hainan company to purchase Qi He Mine."

"Xiao Feng, the legal representative of the Hainan company cannot be Lao Ye's name; don't let Kong Shi notice," I said.

"Why does Lao Ye want to build a hotel in Hainan? Mainly because his older cousin does business there. I'm also familiar with his older cousin."

"At that time we'll use his older cousin's name. Don't worry, no one will notice."

"I'll book the plane ticket online in a moment; I need to hurry back to Hainan," Xiao Feng said.

"Okay, once you set up the company over there, contact me,

so I can have Yu Zong transfer the funds to you," I said.

"Brother Xinseng, did you know? They used this method to hollow out the Da Heng Group. I have also reviewed many accounts, including old ones, and actually many of them don't match the contracts.

A perfectly good Da Heng Group ends up like this," Xiao Feng said helplessly.

Hearing Xiao Feng's words,

I felt very sad,

I said, "Xiao Feng, many developments are beyond our control. I also didn't expect the Da Heng Group to turn out like this. There's nothing we can do; as long as the green mountains remain, we need not fear lacking firewood."

"Exactly, that's it—only by preserving the green mountains can we endure longer," Xiao Feng said with a smile.

At that moment, Xiao Long knocked and came in, taking out a lot of cooked food from his bag,

along with a case of beer,

Xiao Feng said happily, "Xiao Long, quickly open the beer; we're so thrilled today, let's have a good drink."

Xiao Long set the cooked food aside and then opened the beer for us.

I raised my glass,

I said, "Xiao Feng, today also serves as a send‑off for you; I wish you a smooth journey."

Xiao Feng also raised her glass and said, "Jianqiang, I'm not here; you must be very careful.

All matters should not be probed deeply; just let them do as they wish.

We must think about the future."

"A toast to the future," I said with a smile.

Xiao Feng laughed, "It should be the future, Xiao Long, come, I'll drink together; the future will be even better."

Xiao Long also raised his glass and clinked it with ours,

I tilted my head back and downed a whole can of beer.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Long, and I drank the entire case of beer.

Xiao Feng drank a bit too much and sang joyfully in the room,

"Deep affection, misty rain,

How many pavilions in the smoky rain, remembering the beginning when you and I were together, cars like flowing water, horses like dragons,

Even if a fierce wind rises from the flat ground, beauties are like jade, swords like rainbows…."

It's still an old song, making me feel intoxicated and infatuated.

Everything feels like a dream; where in the far horizon is the returning swan?
