Chapter 443: Kicked Out Directly

Cao Weicai had just seen off a group of people when he saw Wang Zhiyuan walking over with a short man.

"Mr. Cao, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Sun Zhengyi, the Boss of SoftBank Group!" Wang Zhiyuan smiled as he introduced the man beside him to Cao Weicai.

Cao Weicai shook hands with the other party politely, but before he could speak, he heard Sun Zhengyi say, "Mr. Cao is also from Wall Street, so why refuse Wall Street's good intentions?"

Upon hearing this guy's words, Cao Weicai's expression immediately darkened.

However, Cao Weicai had excellent self-restraint and said with a smile, "Yahoo is about to go public anyway, so there will surely be plenty of opportunities for cooperation, right?"

Sun Zhengyi persisted, saying, "But I want to start cooperating now! I have already agreed with Mr. Wang to invest and acquire 28% of Yahoo's shares. I can give you a very fair price, how about it?"

Wang Zhiyuan, that guy, was truly blinded by greed, and he even chimed in from the side, "SoftBank is a company with great strength!"

Hearing this guy talking to himself, Cao Weicai couldn't hold back anymore. He sneered and said, "That's quite a clever plan, but what if I'm not willing?"

Sun Zhengyi said with an arrogant look, "I have one hundred million dollars in my hand, and I'm going to invest in the internet industry anyway. If you don't let me invest, then I'll invest in your competitor!"

Cao Weicai said with a gloomy face, "Are you threatening me?"

"Think of it however you like!" Sun Zhengyi chuckled and said to Cao Weicai.

Wang Zhiyuan, who was on the side, said, "Mr. Cao, I think..."

But before Wang Zhiyuan could finish, Cao Weicai said coldly, "Since when is it your turn to think? What qualifications do you have to think? I'm telling you, I didn't want to hold you accountable while we were going public, but if you dare to say one more word of nonsense, I will immediately initiate the procedure to kick you out!"

Seeing that Cao Weicai was furious, Wang Zhiyuan didn't dare to speak anymore.

Cao Weicai was originally a refined person and rarely lost his temper with others.

But what Wang Zhiyuan did this time was truly a bit too much.

Not to mention the fact that this guy Sun Zhengyi was from Japan, just the mere intention of coming over to scheme for Yahoo's shares was something Cao Weicai could not tolerate.

Having followed Chen Jiajun for such a long time, Cao Weicai naturally learned some of Chen Jiajun's temper.

He coldly snapped at Sun Zhengyi, "Is one hundred million dollars a lot? If you have the guts, come and play with me, and let's see who destroys whom first!"

One must know that the funds Chen Jiajun obtained in the United States back then were not just one or two hundred million dollars, but a full one point something billion.

Just in terms of liquid capital, the financial magnates in the United States might not even have as much money as Cao Weicai had in his hands, let alone those little Japanese devils who had just been sanctioned.

Hearing Cao Weicai's undisguised disdain, Sun Zhengyi's face also darkened.

However, he did not continue to speak. Clearly, Cao Weicai's tone was very unusual, and he would not act rashly without figuring out the other party's background.

After saying this nonsense, Cao Weicai gave Wang Zhiyuan a cold glance and turned to leave.

Clearly, he did not want to waste another word of nonsense on these two people.

After Cao Weicai left, Sun Zhengyi said to Wang Zhiyuan, "Mr. Wang, what exactly is the background of this United Aerospace Capital?"

Wang Zhiyuan said, "I'm not too sure either, but Cao Weicai is only the helmsman of United Aerospace Capital; the real boss is that guy named Chen Jiajun!"

"Oh? Interesting!" A cold glint flashed in Sun Zhengyi's eyes.

On the other side, Cao Weicai returned to United Aerospace Capital to report to Chen Jiajun.

After listening, Chen Jiajun sneered on the spot and said, "He has guts, a little Japanese devil dares to threaten me."

Just as he finished speaking, a member of the Information Department brought the intelligence.

The intelligence station that Silva established in the United States was very impressive; it was all built according to the highest standards of the MI6 back then.

Nowadays, England didn't have that many resources to do these things, but Chen Jiajun did! The over one billion dollars in funds in his hands was not just for simple investments.

After taking a look at the information in his hand, Chen Jiajun laughed, "No wonder this Sun Zhengyi was so anxious to find you; it turns out he's a peer!"

Chen Jiajun handed the information to Cao Weicai beside him, and as soon as Cao Weicai looked at it, he understood why Chen Jiajun said that.

The information showed that SoftBank was a comprehensive venture capital company, mainly dedicated to investments in the IT industry, including networking and telecommunications.

Just recently, this company went public in Japan.

In order to seek more long-term development, SoftBank came to Silicon Valley with the same idea as Chen Jiajun.

It's just that this guy's Angel Round investments were not very smooth; he spent a lot of money and not a single company took off.

In order not to let his performance look too ugly and be held accountable by the board of directors, he set his sights on Yahoo, a company about to go public, to seek performance results.

"Peers are enemies; I finally know why this guy set his sights on our United Aerospace Capital!" Cao Weicai said coldly. Chen Jiajun nodded: "And this guy even dragged in those vampires from Wall Street; it looks like he is determined to get Yahoo! Are you confident you can hold onto it?"

Cao Weicai nodded: "As long as we kick that traitor Wang Zhiyuan out of the management team and let David take power, I think we can play with those vampires on Wall Street!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

Cao Weicai nodded, then picked up the documents and went straight to find David.

Unlike someone like Wang Zhiyuan who was blinded by greed, this kid David had a much clearer head.

Before, when they were clashing head-on with United Aerospace Capital, it was also him who was mediating in the middle.

So Cao Weicai went directly to find David.

"There is a situation that, as a partner of the company, I think you must know!" After finding David, Cao Weicai didn't waste words and said it straight.

David was still looking confused and said, "Mr. Cao, what is it?"

Cao Weicai handed a document to David and said indifferently, "Wang Zhiyuan is preparing to introduce Wall Street capital."

"What?" After reading the document, David's face looked very ugly.

It wasn't that he had any hostility toward Wall Street capital, but he was very unhappy with Wang Zhiyuan's actions.

As business partners, how could he not tell himself about such an important matter?

Regardless of whether SoftBank could enter Yahoo or not, this was clearly not taking him seriously!

As a partner, David had built Yahoo together with Wang Zhiyuan.

But what was this about Wang Zhiyuan contacting SoftBank privately? Was he planning to kick him out too? This made David very angry.

Seeing David's reaction, Cao Weicai knew he had bet correctly.

Wang Zhiyuan hadn't told David about this at all; now it was time for his own counterattack.

Cao Weicai said indifferently, "Our United Aerospace Capital provided Yahoo with the Angel Round, First Round, Second Round, and Third Round of funding, right? Now that it's about to go public, what is the meaning of you two suddenly contacting SoftBank Capital? Are you planning to cross the river and burn the bridge?"

David hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Cao, I truly had no knowledge of this matter; if I had known, I absolutely would not have done this."

David knew that behind every venture capital firm was a big shark.

Neither he nor Wang Zhiyuan could afford to offend such people, not to mention that they controlled 70% of the equity in Yahoo.

Doing so would not only bring no benefits, but it could even lead to being sued until he lost everything.

Therefore, David did not hesitate to distance himself from Wang Zhiyuan.

Moreover, David had been completely unaware of this matter from the start, so he appeared very angry: "Wang Zhiyuan didn't even tell me, his own partner. Mr. Cao, you must believe me!"

"Really?" Cao Weicai stared at David and said.

David was on the verge of swearing on his own father's name: "I really know nothing about this!"

"Very well, I trust you!" Cao Weicai nodded and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, then I hope you, David, will cooperate with us to do one thing!"

David nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Cao, please speak!"

Cao Weicai said coldly: "After the company goes public, I need you to cooperate with me in initiating the procedure to kick Wang Zhiyuan off the list of management personnel."

"Ah?" David was startled by Cao Weicai's words.

Cao Weicai said coldly: "Wang Zhiyuan violated our agreement first, and it seems he didn't notify you about this matter either! Once he succeeds, do you think there will still be a place for you at Yahoo?"

Hearing Cao Weicai's words, David immediately fell into deep thought.

It was indeed as Cao Weicai said; if Wang Zhiyuan were allowed to succeed, with his connection to SoftBank, wouldn't his power in company affairs be far greater than his own? At that point, even pushing him out of the company would be a simple matter.

Furthermore, as a classmate, he understood that Wang Zhiyuan was a guy who was easily swayed and lacked his own opinions.

Would Yahoo still be their company then? Wouldn't it become a plaything for Wall Street? Why did they choose to accept investment from United Aerospace Capital in the first place? Wasn't it because they didn't want to deal with those vampires on Wall Street? Thinking of this, David nodded with a serious expression and said: "Fine, I will cooperate with you!"

Cao Weicai smiled and said: "Good, my Boss and I also give you a promise: once Wang Zhiyuan is kicked out, you, David, can become the new CEO of Yahoo!"

With Cao Weicai's promise, David became even more determined to stand with him.

After the two discussed for a while, Cao Weicai turned and took his leave. (End of chapter)
