Chapter 532

After Henry and Niu Bijian saw Yang Qing, their faces looked very bad.

It was this person who ruined their cash-out plan.

After Yang Qing received Shen Bi's phone call, he knew the matter was done.

He brought the Three Great Guardians and arrived at the HSBC Building.

Seeing Henry and Niu Bijian, he warmly shook hands and embraced them.

"Gentlemen, long time no see."

After seeing off Henry and Niu Bijian, he got straight to the point and said:

"Director Yang, what price do you intend to pay to acquire our Harmony?"

"Just now, Li Changjiang promised us 8 billion."

Shen Bi also confirmed from the side.

"It's indeed this price, and I was the one who arranged it."

Li Changjiang? The future Li Bancheng?

Given his temperament, it's indeed possible.

"Ah, so it's Manager Li, this price is not bad, and moreover you are allies of the two of you, why didn't you cooperate with Manager Li?"

Yang Qing was asking this knowingly.

Henry said with an ugly face.

"He doesn't have that much money; he wants to pay in installments."

I didn't expect Yang Qing to see through it at a glance.

Yang Qing chuckled.

"Then that's right—can you two pay in installments? I can acquire Harmony at an 8.5 billion valuation."

Niu Bijian directly cut off Yang Qing's sarcasm.

"Director Yang, let's just speak directly."

"Harmony can be given to you, but you must offer a price that satisfies us."

Yang Qing asked with a smile.

"What amount would be a price that satisfies you both?"

Henry didn't wait for Niu Bijian to speak and said directly.

"At least 7.5 billion, not a cent less."

Niu Bijian's face darkened; this idiot, always opposing him, doesn't even consider the occasion.

He had to add.

"Director Yang, the shares of Gangdao Real Estate and Kowloon Warehouse we currently hold are also worth this price."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"How did the share prices of Kowloon Warehouse and Gangdao Real Estate come about? You two surely don't know, do you?"

"The opening bid should be more sincere; only then can we continue negotiations."

Shen Bi then said.

"Director Yang, this is our compensation for withdrawing."

"If it weren't for your meddling, we would have at least 10 billion."

"That's about enough; let's give each other face so we can meet again in the future."

Shen Bi had already said all that, and Yang Qing didn't dwell on it further.

Instead, he asked another question.

"Why hasn't Governor Mai Lihao come?"

"Everyone, I know you need compensation for withdrawing, but the person taking over will also receive support."

"How is the Governor's Office's support calculated?"

"I can't be the one to take the loss."

"We put up the money; shouldn't we also get what we deserve?"

Shen Bi and Niu Bijian's faces turned ugly for a moment.

Because of this meeting, they were keeping it secret from Mai Lihao.

Shen Bi said in surprise.

"Director Yang, are you sure? Once the Governor arrives, your own acquisition might not be completed at all."

Yang Qing spread his hands.

"I can't help it; Harmony's business includes many projects cooperating with Hong Fu."

"If the Governor gets angry and doesn't let us work, who would bear the loss?"

(Harmony's Golden Gate construction undertakes public projects such as municipal works and public housing.)

"Mr. Shen Bi, do you agree?"

Shen Bi nodded.

What Yang Qing said made a lot of sense.

Now Mai Lihao's vigilance toward the Yang family is already at maximum.

Without him swallowing up Harmony, he will definitely trip us up.

As Mai Lihao cracks down on corruption and gangs, the Governor's popularity has already become very high.

Yang Qing doesn't want to fight him day after day.

Letting Mai Lihao come over is just him giving face.

Face is mutual; I give you face, you must give me face, otherwise nobody has any.

As of now, Yang Qing's methods have stayed within reasonable bounds; but if Yang Qing becomes shameless, the Hong Fu government will also face great pressure.

This is Yang Qing's confidence.

No choice; Shen Bi could only invite the Governor over.

As for Niu Bijan and Henry, their faces looked grim.

Yang Qing is just trying to drive a wedge between them.

Hu Lianxi, Lin Cong, and Tian Guoli stood to the side watching.

The feeling of riding on someone's face and unleashing is really satisfying.

Mai Lihao arrived quickly; upon seeing Niu Bijan and Henry, he let out a heavy snort.

He then lashed out at Yang Qing.

"Director Yang, why don't the things you promised us count?"

This show of force, Yang Qing doesn't care at all.

"Governor, I've given everyone time, but there's been no reply."

"So we can only cash out."

"As a result, we have to give up Harmony, but Henry and Niu Bijan, the senior managers, disagree."

Yang Qing shrugged.

"We also have no choice, right?"

Niu Bijan hurried to explain.

They did it secretly behind the scenes; now that they've been caught, they still need to show the proper attitude.

"Governor Mai Lihao, Harmony is now on the brink of bankruptcy."

"Only Yang Qing can save us; I hope the Governor can understand."

Henry also said.

"Governor Mai Lihao, Harmony has already sacrificed too much; we don't want to continue, so let us leave."

If we don't leave, we'll become penniless; fighting a financial war is too costly, especially a defensive war.

Mai Lihao was left with no way out.

At the same time he also knew why they didn't call him.

All of this is because he repeatedly obstructed them, causing them heavy losses.

He paid no attention to Henry and the two of them, but turned his gaze to Shen Bi.

"How did you put it?"

Shen Bi repeated Yang Qing's demands.

Mai Lihao was furious.

You bastard, you still want to kill and seize hearts, right?

You slapped my face, yet you still want me to give you face.

Yang Qing, that rabbit, is too cunning.

He turned his head and spoke in a cold tone.

"Yang Qing, what if I don't agree?"

Yang Qing spread his hands.

"Then forget it; originally, Harmony, such a colossal entity, shouldn't be meddled with by me."

Mai Lihao felt a wave of chest pain.

Too bad our own people are useless.

But he can also understand: Harmony Record was right before him, defeated by Yang Qing, and now there's another Harmony.

It's not that hard to accept; you get used to things after doing them twice.

He took a deep breath.

"If you can agree to my terms and stop interfering in our affairs, I will accept your conditions."

Yang Qing shook his head.

"Governor, what is your business and what is ours?"

"How should we define it? We can't just guess."

"I think it should be made clear."

"If it's made clear and there's no problem, I can agree; but if there's something discordant inside, we can't just ignore it."

"We are people of Gangdao; we must take responsibility for Gangdao's future."

Actually, being able to swallow Harmony, he has already exerted his utmost; he has no energy left to meddle in anything else, having taken the best part for himself—does he not even let others have a sip of soup?

Harmony Record is still recovering to this day, showing how many matters are involved in swallowing a foreign firm.

In other words, Yang Qing has experience from Harmony Record; if it were someone else, they might really be burst apart.

Indeed, there are too many companies, making management extremely difficult.

Anything, once it grows large, will become rigid.

Niu Bijan and Henry looked toward Mai Lihao.

Shen Bi also reminded.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, not letting Yang Qing cause trouble again is also a good plan."

"Otherwise, who will trust us in the future? We haven't fulfilled a single thing we promised."

"Sigh, their losses are truly devastating."

Faced with Shen Bi's hint, reluctantly, Mai Lihao gritted their teeth and agreed.

A group of people gathered together, began discussing matters that belonged to them; aside from their limited goals, Yang Qing could do anything else.

Hu Lianxi, Lin Cong, and Tian Guoliang, these three senior generals, were present.

In this negotiation, Yang Qing would not yield even the slightest point.

Several times Mai Lihao almost gave up.

All were persuaded back by Shen Bi.

Finally, the scope of Yinglian people's industrial and commercial monetization was determined.

At the same time, Yinglian people's dominant position in the financial field was also determined.

Yang Qing knew the other side would never relinquish financial control.

After arguing several times, they also gave up.
