Chapter 686
Transaction
"Lu Yuanzheng, what do you mean by saying this now?" Pang Shan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Each of our families has already paid you a sky-high 'rental fee'. Us sitting here was exchanged with real gold and silver... Don't make it sound like it's your charity."
"Just a mere tens of millions, a few industries, and a few contracts can exchange for the lives of your two major consortia. What difference is there between this price and charity." Lu Yuanzheng's knuckles tapped lightly on the table, saying indifferently:
"Our Dinglu Consortium, however, sacrificed eighty percent of our industries to play with you guys..."
"That's your bad luck, what does it have to do with us?"
"My luck was bad and I lost too much... So I have to think of a way to minimize my losses from everyone as much as possible."
"What do you mean??"
"How about this, both your families give me another thirty million each, and I'll let you stay."
"Lu Yuanzheng!! You are going back on your word! Raising the price on the spot!!" Su Xiaohong angrily stood up, pointing at Lu Yuanzheng's nose and scolding, "Do you really think you can do whatever you want on your turf?!"
Pang Shan coldly snorted, "Bodyguards? Who doesn't have them? Using this to pressure us?!"
The bodyguards of the Paradise Consortium and Whale Shark Consortium closely followed and stepped forward. Three auras madly collided together, a hurricane sweeping through the underground Shelter, swords drawn and bows bent!
"If you want to fight, we can fight... Wait until the commotion gets big and attracts that bunch from the Witchcraft Association, then everyone can die together." Lu Yuanzheng spoke calmly.
"Lu Yuanzheng! You madman!!"
"Thirty million per family, not a penny less."
Pang Shan and Su Xiaohong gritted their teeth and glared at Lu Yuanzheng, their brains operating rapidly... The pros and cons were weighed in their minds, calculating how giving out another thirty million this time would affect their consortium's cash flow in the future, and how the Dinglu Consortium, sitting on massive cash, would stage a comeback and threaten their two major consortia.
But right now, apart from accepting Lu Yuanzheng's "extortion", they didn't seem to have any other choice.
Just as the two were about to admit defeat, a figure hurriedly ran to Lu Yuanzheng's side.
"Chairman, Huang Suyue of the Huang Consortium is here."
"Oh?"
Lu Yuanzheng froze for a moment, a look of pleasant surprise surfacing in his eyes. He spoke leisurely, "It seems another fat sheep has delivered itself to the door... Let her in."
Following the subordinate's departure, a few minutes later, a young girl carrying a Leather Suitcase, led more than ten bodyguards and subordinates through the dim corridor, stepping into the center of the Shelter.
"Isn't this Miss Huang?"
Lu Yuanzheng and the other two consortium chairmen didn't stand up, but just sat on one side of the marble round table like that. He spoke with a smile, "I thought the Huang Consortium had a suitable Shelter of its own, so you never came over... I didn't expect that we would still meet here in the end."
"This is also a good thing." Pang Shan laughed heartily. "With Miss Huang here, our four major consortia can be considered All In The Same Boat... Let's not talk about anything else, at least at this card table, we can gather four people to play mahjong."
Su Xiaohong's bright red lips curled up slightly, speaking eccentrically:
"Little sister Suyue, you have to be careful. Your Huang Consortium has the most cash, and our Chairman Lu's heart is very black... Old Pang and I here have been bullied quite a bit by him~"
The incandescent lamp overhead illuminated the marble tabletop, making it pale and cold. The three consortium chairmen sat on one side with smiles on their faces, like gourmets holding knives and forks at a dining table, lightly licking their lips, expecting this fattest piece of meat in the entire Red Dust to be eaten up bit by bit.
"Oh?" Huang Suyue calmly watched this scene, speaking coldly. "I wonder how Chairman Lu intends to bully me?"
"Chairman Su is joking. We are all partners in the Red Dust business world. The word 'bully' is really too unpleasant to hear." Lu Yuanzheng paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly. "However, Miss Huang has also seen it. Our Shelter has limited capacity. Since your Huang Consortium is seeking refuge here, you have to pay some rental fee more or less... After all, we also spent a huge price to build this Shelter."
"How much do you intend to ask for?"
Lu Yuanzheng pondered for a moment, slowly making a gesture for a number:
"Eighty million."
Su Xiaohong and Pang Shan at the side had the corners of their mouths twitch slightly, but didn't speak. Instead, they simultaneously set their gazes on Huang Suyue... The Red Dust Main City had been attacked twice. The Huang Consortium was least affected and retained the most assets. Right now, only the Huang Consortium could take out so much money in one breath.
This bite from Lu Yuanzheng was truly ruthless enough!
Hearing this amount, there wasn't the slightest emotional fluctuation on Huang Suyue's face.
She just calmly walked to the front of the marble table and gently waved her hand. Numerous bodyguards behind her then walked over with thick leather suitcases one by one, opening all of them in front of the three major consortia.
Coins, bank notes, gold... Under the incandescent light, countless wealth dazzled the eyes of the three chairmen. For a moment, they couldn't distinguish exactly how much money was here, but it definitely exceeded the amount of eighty million!
This was the most massive cash reserve in the Red Dust Domain right now, and also the empire Huang Suyue had built with her own hands.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuanzheng was first stunned. He didn't expect Huang Suyue to be so generous in her actions, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Miss Huang is indeed Miss Huang. Being so generous as soon as you make a move, truly leaves us gasping in admiration... You guys can stay. Little Li, quickly go pour tea for Miss Huang!"
Money could indeed make the devil push the millstone. The wealth of Huang Suyue alone was equivalent to the total cash flow of Su Xiaohong and Pang Shan. Lu Yuanzheng was also quite capable in dealing with people, directly using the highest specification of reception... On the other hand, Su Xiaohong and Pang Shan looked at Huang Suyue as if looking at a fool.
Lu Yuanzheng said eighty million, just waiting for Huang Suyue to bargain. But not only did this girl not bargain, she even actively added a large portion... How did this kind of person become the Chairman of the Huang Consortium?
"No need."
Coins and gold shone brightly under the incandescent light. Amidst this surging aura of wealth, that cold young girl seemed to transcend the mundane world, completely out of tune with everything around her.
She spoke calmly,
"I have no intention of seeking refuge with your Dinglu, nor do I intend to hide here and play mahjong... I am using this money, because I want to make a transaction with you."
Once these words came out, the three consortium chairmen froze in place at the same time.
They looked at Huang Suyue in confusion, their brows furrowing unconsciously... This young girl mobilized so many people and brought so much money over, yet she didn't intend to hide? You must know, this was already the safest place in the entire Red Dust Main City. Where else could she go if she left here? And at this time, what transaction was there to make??
Lu Yuanzheng couldn't help but ask: "Transaction... What do you want to buy from me with this money?"
Huang Suyue's gaze swept across the entire Shelter, finally looking into Lu Yuanzheng's eyes,
She spoke pausing after each word:
"Explosives, and Bread."
