Chapter 113: Seven Irremovable Locations

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yicheng was overjoyed. "If that is truly the case, we only need to grant these seven locations the title of 'Key Cultural Relic Protection Units' to resolve the problem."

Zhang Song nodded with a smile, confirming his words and revealing that he had long since seen through the Neon people's conspiracy.

Subsequently, Jiang Yicheng quickly arranged to notify the relevant personnel to come and handle the matter.

After everyone had left, Zhang Song turned to Lin Yu and said with a smile, "Why don't you greet your master when you see him?" Although Lin Yu was unwilling, he still stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Recalling the experience of being forced into apprenticeship, he had no affection for the opportunistic master before him.

However, Zhang Song told Lin Yu that his Zhongcaotang would be the key to the counter-array, promising to teach him methods of self-preservation.

Faced with this sudden heavy responsibility, Lin Yu felt a complex mix of emotions, feeling only that the development of the situation had exceeded his control.

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Fine, whatever Master says, we shall do."

On the other side, Han Fa arrived at Zhang Bin's home at his invitation, where he met Li Xueying and Zhang Yongling. They were discussing transferring 10% of the shares they held in the Zhang Group to Han Fa.

If these 10% of shares could be successfully obtained, the plan between Han Fa and Feng Yuanyuan would be half complete. Facing Han Fa, Li Xueying smiled and proposed a condition: "We have only one requirement: a total price of 100 million. If you agree, we will consent to the transfer."

Han Fa had not expected the price to be this amount, but he responded without hesitation: "Of course, 100 million it is. I can give you a 10 million deposit now, and pay the remainder after the contract is signed."

Hearing Han Fa be so straightforward, Li Xueying felt some regret, thinking perhaps she could have asked for more. Thus, she tentatively said, "I feel a bit at a loss; could we add a little more?"

Han Fa sneered inwardly, but appeared very dissatisfied on the surface, taking out his phone to show a news report:

"Don't go too far. Hanfang Pharmaceutical may terminate its cooperation with the Zhang Clan. The fact that I can acquire your shares now is already giving you face. If you don't believe me, ask others—who else would dare to want Zhang Clan shares?"

Seeing the news on Han Fa's phone, the Zhang family members were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Bin hurriedly changed his tune: "100 million it is, we agree."

However, Han Fa suddenly changed his mind: "It's too late. Don't talk about 100 million; I'd find 80 million too much." As he stood up to leave, he was stopped by Li Xueying, who said with a smile, "Don't go. Everything is negotiable; we will definitely transfer the shares to you today."

Held back by Li Xueying, Han Fa pretended to be impatient and said, "The only reason I was willing to pay 100 million was entirely out of face for Brother Zhang Bin. But if you are asking for 120 million, that is going too far."

Li Xueying realized the situation was dire and said urgently, "It is our good fortune to know you. But we hold original shares; adding a little bit is fine, consider it a lucky bonus, how about that?"

Han Fa mocked their ignorance inwardly, but still feigned thought before saying, "100 million is already a huge risk for me. If you insist on raising the price, we must add some clauses to the transfer agreement."

Li Xueying immediately agreed: "No problem, any condition is acceptable."

Ultimately, Han Fa listed three conditions: First, after the share transfer, the Zhang family's seats on the Zhang Group board of directors must also be transferred.

Second, regardless of how the Zhang Group develops in the future, neither party may renege due to the appreciation or depreciation of the shares; otherwise, a 50 million penalty must be paid.

Third, the transaction must be kept confidential; once leaked, it will also be considered a breach of contract, requiring 50 million in compensation.

Hearing these conditions, Li Xueying readily agreed; she didn't care about the board seats at all, wanting only to cash out the shares as quickly as possible. Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Han Fa smiled with satisfaction.

Han Fa spoke slowly, "Since that is the case, I am willing to pay 120 million to purchase these 10% of shares. First, I will pay 10 million as a deposit, and the remainder will be paid in three installments after the transfer. If there are no objections, we have a deal."

Li Xueying was overjoyed upon hearing this price, but when Han Fa mentioned installment payments, her expression became serious, and she said firmly, "The 10 million deposit is no problem, but the balance must be paid in full once the transfer is complete."

Zhang Bin echoed, "That's right. We've given you the shares, why can't it be settled in one payment?"

Han Fa explained unhurriedly, "It's not that I want it this way, but the remaining 110 million is a massive transaction. If the bank discovers it, a 25% tax must be paid. Do you know what that means? Nearly 30 million in taxes."

Zhang Bin and Li Xueying were stunned after hearing this, and Han Fa continued patiently: "To reduce your tax burden, I suggest dividing the payment into three installments.

This way, the amount received by each person each time will be less than 10 million, and the tax rate will also be significantly reduced. I just want you to get more money."

Li Xueying realized that share transactions indeed involved tax issues, so she had Zhang Bin verify it, and the result was exactly as Han Fa had said. Thus, she set aside her doubts and said urgently, "Fine, let's do as you say. Let's sign the contract and transfer."

Han Fa smiled and took out the prepared contract. After the three signed and stamped it, he handed over a 10 million check and agreed that the remaining funds would be paid in full within three months.

The Zhang family happily saw Han Fa off.

However, as soon as Han Fa left, he called Feng Yuanyuan: "It's done. Now we just need to stamp the Zhang Group's official seal, and we can complete this share transaction."

Feng Yuanyuan had just moved into her new office and had almost become the actual person in power at the Zhang Group.

Upon learning the news, she asked Han Fa how much money he had spent.

Han Fa sneered, "Except for Zhang Yuru, the other Zhang family members are all big idiots. I only gave them 10 million; as for the rest of the money, I'll avoid paying it if I can."

Feng Yuanyuan was not surprised and said with a smile, "Give the contract to me, and leave the rest to me to handle."

Han Fa also mentioned that Lin Yu still held 5% of the shares, but Feng Yuanyuan believed that as long as they controlled the board, this portion of shares would naturally return to their hands.

Meanwhile, at the City Lord Mansion, the negotiations between Jiang Yicheng, Zhou Yuanli, and Hanfang Pharmaceutical had reached a stalemate, with Yuzao Huimei insisting that the land in Miao Street be provided free of charge.

The Hanfang Group refused to bear the demolition costs for Miao Street and also did not allow the original residents to move back.

In order to achieve her goal, Yuzao Huimei even threatened to terminate cooperation with the Zhang Clan.

As a stakeholder, although Zhang Yuru felt that Hanfang's approach was somewhat excessive, she still chose to stand on Hanfang's side.

The negotiations ultimately broke down, and a distraught Zhang Yuru left the conference room early, only to unexpectedly encounter Lin Yu.

At this time, Lin Yu had just finished his conversation with Zhang Song and was preparing to return to Miao Street to check on the situation.

Zhang Yuru's heart was full of anger, mistakenly believing that Lin Yu was behind all of this, and she immediately stepped forward to block him.

It turned out that among the seven irremovable places in Miao Street mentioned by Jiang Yicheng, Lin Yu's Zhongcaotang was one of them.

Zhang Yuru believed that this was an idea Lin Yu had given Jiang Yicheng, intending to sabotage the cooperation between Hanfang and the Zhang Clan.

In her anger, Zhang Yuru rushed directly in front of Lin Yu and swung a slap at him. ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
