Chapter 520: Desperate Su Zhichao

"Chen Yang, Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical still has strength, with many pharmaceutical patent technologies, and maintains a close cooperative relationship with Xingcheng Medical University. As long as the financial issues are resolved, the future will definitely have great development prospects." Liu Jianghua still wanted to earnestly persuade Chen Yang, to have him properly manage Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical, and not split the company after taking over.

Chen Yang well understood Liu Jianghua; the other party only handles problems from a government perspective and won't overly consider his interests. So he directly asked: "Governor, Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical has been ST, internal problems must be serious, right? If I rashly take over, wouldn't I just fall into Wang Haifeng's scheme?"

Liu Jianghua frowned slightly. According to the information he received, Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical has many problems; besides the chairman being suspected of illegal money laundering, there are serious corruption issues internally. Letting Chen Yang take over is indeed somewhat difficult.

"How about this: you first send people to conduct a relevant investigation into Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical's internals; the government side will also try to cooperate with your work. Once there are results, you can then consider whether to take over."

Chen Yang feigned difficulty and said: "Governor, I'm an outsider to the pharmaceutical industry. If after taking over I can't improve the company's financial situation, later it will probably still be delisted!"

Liu Jianghua immediately said: "As long as you have the determination to do it, the government will definitely give corresponding policy support and strive to help you get through the early difficulties."

Chen Yang, seeing Liu Jianghua had already made a promise, then said: "Governor, may I meet Su Zhichao?"

Liu Jianghua saw Chen Yang's attitude change, nodded and said: "Su Zhichao is currently detained. I will greet the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Chen and have him arrange a meeting for you. However……"

He paused, then said: "The current situation of Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical is not optimistic; you'd better reach an agreement in one go."

Chen Yang felt Liu Jianghua was too optimistic. Since Su Zhichao is Wang Haifeng's lackey, it's impossible for him to smoothly let him take over Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical.

However, he also didn't explain this to Liu Jianghua. After leaving the governor's office, he directly drove to the detention center where Su Zhichao is held.

With Liu Jianghua's greeting, Chen Yang quickly met Su Zhichao.

About fifty years old, wearing glasses, somewhat overweight. Probably because the scandal broke out, his current mental state is very pessimistic.

Chen Yang looked at Su Zhichao and calmly asked: "Director Su, we have no grudge from past lives nor enmity in this life; why did you join forces with Wang Haifeng to scheme against me?"

Su Zhichao replied helplessly: "Mr. Chen, my wife and children are controlled by Wang Haifeng's people. I have no choice!"

Chen Yang looked at him with some sympathy and said: "You helped him transfer so many assets, yet ended up like this—was it worth it?"

Su Zhichao smiled at Chen Yang and lightly said: "I went from an ordinary pharmaceutical R&D engineer to the chairman of a listed company; behind it all was the Wang family's support. Over these years I've enjoyed wealth and honor that ordinary people could never attain in a lifetime. How could it not be worth it?"

Although Chen Yang disliked this person, deep down he still agreed with his view. Ordinary people without powerful backing can never rise in a lifetime. No matter what crime Su Zhichao is later sentenced for, at least he has enjoyed those benefits.

"If I want to buy the shares in your hands, you would probably refuse, right?"

"Of course!" Su Zhichao said candidly: "Even if I can't refuse, I must delay time; otherwise my family would be in danger."

Chen Yang laughed and said to him: "You really are Wang Haifeng's good dog. Too bad you're not very smart. Do you think not selling the shares can wear me down?"

Su Zhichao laughed loudly: "Mr. Chen, you've invested in two projects worth over a hundred billion each; your cash flow must be very tight. If Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical this—"

Chen Yang was amused by his naivety: "Director Su, I truly admire your confidence. Who told you I only have six hundred million in cash flow?"

"By the way, let me remind you: the buyers of Heavenly Initiation Pharmaceutical shares this time are Stellar Brilliance Financial Investment Company and Xingcheng Securities. My stake at most is just a few tens of millions. Such a small loss, I could just turn around in the US stock market and possibly earn it back within a week."

"If Wang Haifeng knows I suffered no loss, what would he do to your family?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhichao's face instantly turned grim. He forced composure and said to Chen Yang: "Mr. Chen, you're truly bragging. Making tens of millions in a week—do you think you're Warren Buffett?"

Chen Yang laughed and said to him: "A couple of years ago I was still a penniless college student. Now, counting only mainland assets, I already possess several billion. So, do you think my money-making ability is much worse than Warren Buffett's?"

Su Zhichao immediately fell silent. Because he had estimated Chen Yang's assets, the other party indeed had no exaggeration.

He lowered his head to think for a moment, then said to Chen Yang: "Mr. Chen, if I sell my shares to you, can you guarantee my family's safety?"

Chen Yang frankly said: "Cannot!"

Su Zhichao saw Chen Yang had no intention of helping him at all, sighed and said: "Then I can only stall for now, stall until you can help me solve the problem before considering whether to sell my shares."

Chen Yang shrugged, stood up and said to Su Zhichao: "Then just wait slowly! After your case is judged, I will apply to the board to revoke your shareholder qualifications."

After walking two steps, Chen Yang stopped again, turned and added to Su Zhichao: "Director Su, you used the company's assets to help Wang Haifeng launder a billion out of the country. With the shares you currently hold, it's probably not enough to pay the fine. So, even if you disagree to sell the shares, I can also have the judicial authorities auction your shares."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhichao leaned desperately against the chair in the meeting room. Given his understanding of Wang Haifeng, once he knows he has no more use value, he will definitely take it out on his family.

His mind raced, suddenly he had an idea, and loudly said to Chen Yang, who was about to leave the meeting room: "Mr. Chen, Wang Haifeng still has many countermeasures against you in Xingcheng. As long as you help rescue my family, I'll tell you everything!"

Chen Yang actually really wanted to know what other countermeasures Wang Haifeng had. But he also didn't want to deceive the other party, feeling helpless, he said: "Director Su, I truly lack the ability to rescue your family. You'd better tell the police everything you know, striving for lenient treatment."

After saying that, Chen Yang left the meeting room.

Su Zhichao saw Chen Yang had no interest in the secret he kept in his mind, and became even more desperate.
