Chapter 633: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,267 words

Bob Marley, his veins bulged from what Yang Qihang said.

At the same time, he was also terrified.

The Yang Family actually saw his weak point.

If it truly becomes a deficit, he will surely die.

But if he cannot get what they want, his outcome won't be good either.

Someone has to take the blame.

"Forty percent, the Yang Family puts up forty percent of the shares, yet what they get is the whole world."

"This deal, you won't lose."

Yang Fan shook his head.

"We Yang Family don't have such a big appetite."

"Being able to manage the current situation well is already good; if it gets bigger, it will invite hatred."

This damn thing, it won't budge.

"Thirty percent, don't forget, now the Yang Family's reputation—we only need thirty percent, and we'll settle the Gangdao situation for you."

Yang Qing waved his hand.

"This doesn't require you to worry."

Yang Qing gestured for someone to turn on the TV.

On TV, which had been cursing the Yang Family, today it actually started praising Yang Qing.

On the streets, there were even hundreds of thousands marching in support of the Yang Group.

The Yang Family has never done anything harmful to heaven and reason; on the contrary, they have always been the main force stabilizing the stock market—after acquiring Gangdao Electric, they directly lowered electricity prices; after acquiring Gangdao Telecommunications, they vigorously built the communications network, lowering phone fees; the Yang Family's properties are also the best built, with the most considerate management, and the most housing discounts; moreover, the Yang Family has always strongly supported education, funding Gangdao Institute of Technology and Gangdao Drama Academy...

The Yang Family's good deeds were exposed one by one.

The older generation even recalled the Gangdao Living Guide, which let countless people avoid the gangs' harm.

Later, Jingmen not only provided them with abundant employment, but also caused the Gangdao gangs to be repeatedly regulated.

Nowadays, Gangdao rarely sees slashings.

People aren't fools; originally they were guided by those with ulterior motives, their heads heated, so they didn't distinguish right from wrong and swarmed to criticize the Yang Family.

Now rationality has returned, and they feel the Yang Family is good again.

It can be said that whether you speak ill or well, it's all you.

Yang Qing, however, doesn't mind, because that's just human nature.

Seeing this, Yang Qing turned off the TV.

"Mr. Bob Marley, if it's exposed again that the mastermind behind smearing the Yang Family is Yingjiang, what do you think will happen?"

Bob Marley broke out in a cold sweat.

Needless to say, a large anti-Yingjiang parade.

Yingjiang's business in Gangdao will be destroyed in an instant.

We fear that Yingjiang's companies in Gangdao will be denounced by everyone.

The Yang Family wasn't wrong.

They indeed cannot stop Yingjiang enterprises from entering Daxia, but they can trip you up, making it hard for you to move.

"Twenty percent is the minimum demand."

"If we don't get enough weight, we won't let it rest."

"Yang Fan, Yang Qihang, you both have stayed with Yingjiang, so you should know the temperament of those behind me."

"If they take a liking to something and can't get it, they'd rather destroy it."

"Even our president, they don't care, let alone you."

"You also don't want to live every day in anxiety, right?"

This is both a threat and a reminder.

Yang Qing cursed under his breath, then nodded.

Yang Fan and Yang Qihang, seeing that, also had to compromise.

But wanting them to give up for free is impossible.

"We can cancel this privatization, but we won't directly release shares to you."

"When the Yang Group's shares return to a reasonable value, we will release the corresponding shares, and you can buy them yourselves from the market."

Bob Marley, nodding his head.

Yang Fan stopped him from continuing.

"We need detailed information about those behind you, and a pledge not to target the Yang Family again."

As for what pledge or contract, it's meaningless.

The Yang Family only needs to get the list.

The list is the Yang Family's counterstrike right.

Since we've already reached an agreement, you'd better follow it; otherwise we won't rule out using extreme measures.

In Daxia, it would be hard to launch an attack against the Yang Family; but abroad, the chance of being attacked would be great.

Unless you hide in an apocalypse bunker.

Yang Fan's meaning is very clear to Bob Marley.

But he has no other choice.

"I can agree to you."

"Then please finish the privatization process as soon as possible."

Yang Qihang shook his head.

"When did we get the list and the commitment letter?"

"When will we end the privatization process?"

"I hope you can be quicker."

This meeting ended just like that.

Yang Qing can be said to have suffered heavy losses; in the end he still agreed to the other party's terms, which looks very stifling and aggrieved.

But this is an unavoidable compromise.

The rabbit is too weak to give him and others the courage to be tough.

Otherwise, many of Yang Qing's plans cannot move forward.

Now is the time to sleep on firewood and taste gall, not the time to be brave and fight.

Although a 20% share doesn't seem like much, it actually gives Yang Group a great breathing space.

Moreover, it retains the right to compete in the world market.

Compared to Samsung losing sixty percent of its voice, the outcome is becoming a puppet of Yingjiang.

It can be said that Yang Group is now doing quite well.

If a few more years pass, Yingjiang may not be so easy to deal with.

If Damaoxiong falls, Yingjiang will no longer tolerate any force that dares to say no to it.

The rabbit will feel stifled for thirty years in the future, and only when Yingjiang's industry is hollowed out and irreversible will it have the confidence to say no.

What Yang Qing needs to do is to strengthen this confidence.

(People have always said we are weak, and there's nothing we can do about it; but if you are not weak, Yingjiang would have already targeted you, leaving no room for your current posture.)

(Compromise is an art, playing a crucial role in great-power strategy.)

Here, Yingjiang has already accepted Bob Marley's utter defeat as the outcome.

But unexpectedly, Bob Marley could still snatch victory from defeat.

Although the 20% share didn't meet their expectations, it's already not bad.

Usually, the Yang family only holds about thirty to forty percent.

The future is still long; they, the squid people, have never been an impatient nation.

One day, they will be able to gain control of Yang Group.

As long as Yingjiang doesn't fall, this is not an issue.

Moreover, they have now preliminarily mastered the play of petrodollars.

In the harvesting cycle, how much longer can the Yang Group hold out?

"Promise him."

"Under normal circumstances, we won't need extreme measures."

"When we have to resort to extreme measures, it means we have failed."

"At that point, there's no point in saying whether this list is still useful."

"Even if it is useful, it's already time for us to use extreme measures."

"They're right; what's most important for us now is to enter the Daxia market."

"The route paved by Yinglian and Daxia is the fastest way."

"One airplane can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of pairs of socks."

"We should focus our efforts on building airplanes, not socks."

"Socks, clothing, or whatever—just leave it to Daxia."
