Chapter 75 Hostile Takeover (4)
Wang Cheng unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip: "At our age, nothing is important, but the body is the most important. In this regard, your brother is not as good as you. I heard that you play tennis every week. Unlike your brother, who always lives from the desk to the wine table, two points and one line."

Cao Zhonghua chuckled twice: "My elder brother is a workaholic, he doesn't know how to enjoy life."

"How is your tennis?" Wang Cheng asked, "I'm not good at tennis, but there are several vice presidents in the company who are said to be tennis masters. Have you ever played against them?"

"I also heard that several bosses in Qiancheng play tennis well, but unfortunately there has never been a chance to compete." Cao Zhonghua said.

Cao Zhonghua came here with his mind full, and he was even ready for Wang Cheng to be furious.Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Cheng came up, he would chat about sports casually, which made Cao Zhonghua more uneasy.He took a sip of the mineral water and intentionally turned the topic to business: "Aren't you in England? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Wang Cheng said with a smile: "I would like to have no other distractions and indulge in the mountains and rivers, but it's a pity that people don't give me this opportunity."

"What's wrong?" Cao Zhonghua bit the bullet and pretended to be dumb.

Wang Cheng looked aggressively: "Do you still need to ask me?"

After all, he is a well-known gangster who has been famous for a long time, and there is an aura of calmness and prestige when talking and laughing.Even though Cao Zhonghua believed that the strategy of darkening Chen Cang had worked, and that the Zhonghua Group had the upper hand in the shareholding war, and Wang Cheng was forced to the corner, but facing Wang Cheng's aggressive gaze, he felt a little guilty.Rubbing his hands on his knees, he said slowly, "You mean the acquisition of shares, right? Mr. Wang, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here..."

Wang Cheng waved his hand aggressively and interrupted Cao Zhonghua: "Needless to say."

Cao Zhonghua's expression was awkward, and he thought to himself: Big brother knew that coming to see Wang Cheng would be bad luck, so he hid himself, so he asked me to come up to him.If the elder brother really wanted to come in person, and the conversation would collapse if he disagreed with Wang Cheng, there would be no room for change.Well, no matter how dangerous the situation is today, I will swallow my anger for the time being.

Wang Cheng crossed his legs, the expression on his face was still relaxed: "I came back from England, indeed for the acquisition of shares. But in this matter, I don't expect you to tell me anything."

Wang Cheng went on to say: "You and your elder brother have already lied to me once. No matter what you say at this time, you can only lie to me again. You are tired of trying to make up lies, and I am even more tired listening to them. So, there is no need to waste everyone's time." .”

Cao Zhonghua became more and more nervous, subconsciously stretched his hand to the purse, intending to take out a cigarette and light it.But soon, he retracted his hand again.This is Wang Cheng's office, and he never smokes!

Wang Cheng said: "The matter of the equity acquisition is already very clear. You used the strategy of Mingxiu Plank Road to cover Chen Cang secretly, but I was careless at the beginning, or your acting skills were so good that you deceived me. In shopping malls, there is no question of right and wrong, only success or failure. I am old and dim-sighted, so I can only blame myself, not others.”

"No, no!" Cao Zhonghua had to continue to say even if it was a lie, "Perhaps the communication between the two parties is not in place, but it is definitely not intentional to deceive you."

"Your purpose, I know very well." Wang Cheng sneered, "Cao Bohua and Zhao Xiaoqing behind him, don't they just want to seize the control of Qiancheng by continuously increasing their holdings, and then kick me out? Now, if I can't even see this, I've spent so many years in the rivers and lakes in vain."

Cao Zhonghua remained silent.The person sitting across from him is, after all, a shrewd business veteran. You can lie to him for a while, or for the rest of his life?Up to now, any cover-up is futile!
Wang Cheng said: "In business, everyone wants to earn the maximum profit with the least cost, but success is not certain. There is a saying that the stage is as big as the heart. I am in I will add another sentence later, the bigger the stage, the bigger the risk."

Wang Cheng always had a smile on his face, but in Cao Zhonghua's eyes, this smile was like a raging lion.Wang Cheng continued: "If you dare to attack thousands of cities, you must have come prepared. Since someone came to kick the pavilion, I can only use soldiers to cover the water and soil. Whoever wins depends on each person's ability. You know, My father-in-law is an old public security officer. He was in charge of arresting several jailbreakers who caused a sensation throughout the country. After they were arrested, a reporter asked, would these people escape from prison again? My father-in-law replied, “If you want to escape from prison, yes Whether they can escape from prison or not is my business."

"Calm your anger." Frightened by Wang Cheng's aura, Cao Zhonghua could only back away, "You are a senior in the business world, and it is too late for us to respect you, so how dare you have any unreasonable thoughts."

Sitting on the chair, Wang Cheng looked as stable as Mount Tai, but his voice was raised a bit: "I just said that I don't plan to talk to you about the acquisition of equity. You have already made up your mind. Come, I just want to talk to you about the following things."

"What's next?" Cao Zhonghua asked puzzled.

Wang Cheng said: "You are Cao Bohua's right-hand man and Huahai's great military adviser. Once this war starts, how will it end in the future? You should have thought about it?"

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Wang." Cao Zhonghua thought to himself, Wang Cheng said that he didn't talk about the acquisition of equity, but in fact, every sentence was closely related to the topic.Since I am determined to show weakness, I might as well lower my stance a bit and see what Wang Cheng has to say.

Wang Cheng went on to say: "With this posture, I will definitely fight to the death. If I lose, the final outcome is to pack up and leave, and hand over the Thousand City that I have worked so hard to build to you."

"I'm not a person who values ​​money very much." Wang Cheng added, "The annual salary of these years is enough for me to spend my old age comfortably. Besides, with my old face, I can get some pocket money at any time. It's like playing."

Wang Cheng continued: "Even if I want to learn from Chu Shijian and Shi Yuzhu, it's not too difficult to ask myself if I come out of the arena and make a comeback. If I leave Qiancheng and start my own business, I can easily raise more than one billion yuan in start-up funds with just one word from me. More than half of Qiancheng Group's executives will come to join us. Do you believe it?"

"Of course I do." Since he didn't want to quarrel with Wang Cheng, Cao Zhonghua flattered him, "Coca-Cola once said that even if all assets are evacuated and all production lines are shut down, Coca-Cola's brand will be able to show its glory again in a few years. In the Chinese business world, the word Wang Cheng is a brand and an incomparable appeal."

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "I'm not talking about Wang Po selling melons, but just analyzing the situation. If I lose, it won't be the end of the world. If I retreat, I can enjoy my old age in peace; if I advance, I don't know if I can make a comeback."

Wang Cheng changed his sitting position: "But what if I, Mr. Wang, win by chance in the equity war? What will happen to you?"

Without waiting for Cao Zhonghua's reaction, Wang Cheng answered by himself: "Let's talk about Zhao Xiaoqing first, and she will undoubtedly lose a lot. The funds she continuously sent to Huahai through various channels will lose everything in this capital war."

"However," Wang Cheng changed the subject, "Money is the most important thing Zhao Xiaoqing lacks. After losing this order, she is still popular, and with her background, she can earn money back from other businesses." .He has golden branches and jade leaves, and married a good husband, we can't compare."

Wang Cheng took a sip of water, then held the mineral water bottle in his hand, as if the teacher on the podium was waving a pointer: "You are different. Zhao Xiaoqing's money has been in your hands, after layers of leverage, in the short term, The capital effect has been magnified several times. In the long run, it is actually burdened with heavy debts. After the failure of the acquisition of Qiancheng, Zhao Xiaoqing may not force you to pay back the money for the sake of his brothers and sisters, but he should be responsible for so much leverage interest Right. Everyone is well aware of Huahai’s financial strength. The leveraged interest alone can make you go bankrupt several times.”

Cao Zhonghua pondered for a while, and said: "In all fairness, what you said is alarmist, but it is by no means impossible."

"Impossible, let's figure it out for yourself." Wang Cheng said, "I just calculated the economic account, and there is another account that should not be missed. Hua Hai and Zhao Xiaoqing teamed up to mobilize such a huge amount of funds. Suspected of money laundering? Recently, the stock price of Qiancheng has fluctuated violently. Is there anyone manipulating the stock price and suspected of insider trading? Is there anything illegal in the process of adding leverage layer by layer and infinitely magnifying funds? I don’t know these things. But in the near future In the future, we will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it.”

Cao Zhonghua smiled slightly: "Are you threatening us?"

Wang Cheng shook his head: "Thunder without rain is called a threat. If you do what you say, it is not a threat, but a vaccination. You should know that many years ago, some people wanted to make some noise in the capital market to seize Qiancheng. At the last moment, I seized the evidence that the other party built a mouse warehouse and engaged in insider trading, and turned defeat into victory in one fell swoop. Once the war broke out, it was natural that the aircraft and cannons would be used together. No one would leave usable weapons in the warehouse. "

Cao Zhonghua shrugged: "If you really want to investigate, I don't mind."

Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Of course I know that you must have carefully planned before, and you will try your best to avoid those legal red lines. However, it is inevitable that one hundred secrets will be neglected. With such a big move and such a long battle line, it is really guaranteed to be foolproof. It’s fine if I don’t reveal my flaws, but once I reveal my flaws, I will never be relentless. Who should bear the legal responsibility at that time, it’s not up to us to decide.”

Cao Zhonghua gulped down the water, Wang Cheng saw that his bottle was almost bottomed out, so he handed him another bottle.Wang Cheng went on to say: "Zhao Xiaoqing is overseas and has been naturalized in the United States for a long time. Even if something happens, at least he can escape from prison. However, someone must be the scapegoat. To be honest, I No matter how you look at it, I think it's most suitable for you two brothers to be the scapegoat."

Cao Zhonghua smiled and said: "Your eloquence is really amazing, I admire, I admire!" Cao Zhonghua praised Wang Cheng, but he also made a pun - but now you have followed the way of others, and you are surrounded by enemies.From what you said, it seems that the opponent who should be most worried is the opponent who took the lead?Although your eloquence is excellent, reality is reality after all.

Wang Cheng leaned back: "I talked with your elder brother a few times before, and he said that an excellent entrepreneur must have the mentality of a gambler. This can't be miscalculated, but a gambler is as big as a gambler. no the same."

"What's the difference?" Cao Zhonghua asked.

Wang Cheng said: "Gamblers love to gamble, but they never gamble with things they can't afford to lose. Gamblers often lose things they can't afford to lose at the gaming table."

Wang Cheng's words couldn't be more clear, no matter whether he left Qiancheng sadly, or Zhao Xiaoqing made a big compensation, they are still things that each can afford to lose.But what Cao Bohua put on the gambling table was his wealth and life that he couldn't afford to lose.

Cao Zhonghua was not frightened, he responded: "After all, I just want us to get out of trouble."

"Wrong!" Wang Cheng immediately corrected, "Zhuge Liang played an empty city plan, even holding a guqin, and two bookboys stood behind him. Just relying on me, Wang Cheng, to make the opponent Mingjin retreat? I'm not so naive. Besides, now you are also riding a tiger, and it is not so easy to retreat."

"Then what do you mean?" Cao Zhonghua asked.

"When advancing and retreating, be calm. Every time you take a step, you might as well leave a way for yourself to retreat." Wang Cheng's words are clouded, and I don't know if there is a real reason for it, or he is playing a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

"How calm and measured? How to advance and how to retreat?" Cao Zhonghua asked.

Wang Cheng waved his hand: "Some things, to put it bluntly, are tasteless. It's interesting to take a step, watch a step, and be startled every step of the way."

Wang Cheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "That's all for now, let's do it for ourselves. Xiao Fang from Rongding will come over later, so I won't keep you for lunch."

Cao Zhonghua asked: "You mean Fang Yubin?"

Wang Cheng nodded: "He came here in a hurry, presumably because of this matter. Look at this trouble, so that everyone can't live a peaceful life."

After seeing off Cao Zhonghua, Wang Cheng returned to the office.Facing out the window, he sometimes glanced at the busy traffic under his feet, and sometimes looked at the sea view of the Marina Bay in the distance, his nostrils kept breathing heavily.Turning around, seeing two unfinished bottles of mineral water on the table, he waved his arms and swept the bottles to the ground.

In public, Wang Cheng has always presented himself as a modest gentleman. Just now, he tried his best to control his emotions when facing Cao Zhonghua, who was extremely hated in his heart.Now, with no one around, he can finally vent without scruples.

Anger was burning in Wang Cheng's chest. He hated Zhao Xiaoqing, who was hiding evil intentions, and Cao Bohua, who was duplicitous, but he hated himself the most!
I, Wang Cheng, have been shrewd all my life, how could I do such a stupid thing as luring wolves into the house in the end?Without my acquiescence and connivance, Cao Bohua and Zhao Xiaoqing behind him couldn't even pry open a crack in Qiancheng's door.It happened that in order to balance the shareholding structure, he secretly introduced Zhao Xiaoqing.Unexpectedly, this group of people turned out to be ambitious wolves, and their ultimate goal was to drive away themselves and monopolize Qiancheng.

Wang Cheng is praised as a Confucian businessman, but a Confucian businessman is not a bookworm.To be able to make Qiancheng what it is today, he is used to strong winds and waves, intrigues, and even himself is a master.Playing with the world at the palm of his hand, practicing deception while talking and laughing, such things are not uncommon. Many powerful gangsters also fell into his own hands back then.It's a pity that after playing with eagles all my life, I was finally blinded by eagles.Wang Cheng, oh Wang Cheng, this time, why did you let the fledgling Zhao Xiaoqing and the mud-legged Cao Bohua completely deceive you?

Standing at the forefront of the trend these years, Wang Cheng has worn countless auras, enjoying everything that should be enjoyed.Tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, he has traveled all over famous mountains and rivers, and even the supreme pleasure of power, which can command thousands of troops and dispatch hundreds of millions of funds, is nothing new to him.In recent years, he has thought of retiring countless times. Xiao Zhou passed away, and Jiang Hai spent the rest of his life. Let the future of the company be handed over to young people!

However, there are some things that I can voluntarily release, but if someone wants to take them away from me, I absolutely cannot agree!
When the opponent saw him, Wang Cheng immediately flew back to the country. He wanted to go to the front line of fire and launch a desperate counterattack.This is not only for the enterprise, but also to defend our own honor!A person as strong as Wang Cheng must not bow his head in front of Zhao Xiaoqing and Cao Bohua.

If wealth and life are things that Cao Bohua cannot afford to lose, then for Wang Cheng who is confident, conceited and even narcissistic, fame and honor are also things that he cannot afford to lose!He can retreat to the forest, but he cannot accept the ending of being swept out by others.

Cao Zhonghua was called in today to beat the mountain and shake the tiger, which is regarded as the first shot of counterattack.The next most important thing is to win the support of Rongding, the major shareholder of the company.Thinking of this, Wang Cheng frowned even tighter.

Today's Fei Yunpeng is not Ding Yifu back then, will Rong Ding support him unreservedly?What's more, the whole thing is that he deceived Fei Yunpeng first.The reason why Zhao Xiaoqing was introduced at the beginning was to balance Rong Ding's power.Now that things are going on, will people still act out of righteousness?
What's even worse is that the Huahai Department increased its holdings massively, but Rongding remained indifferent.Wang Cheng had a premonition that Zhao Xiaoqing must have gone to see Fei Yunpeng, and the two reached a tacit understanding.If that's the case, things will get even more difficult.

After returning to China, Wang Cheng contacted Fei Yunpeng immediately, saying that he planned to visit Beijing in person.However, Fei Yunpeng said that he participated in some photography activities, and he was not in China.I can't wait here, do you still have the heart to collect folk songs?It's a pity that there is no other way but forbearance.Fei Yunpeng also said that he would arrange for Fang Yubin from Rhodium Ventures to fly to Binhai to meet Wang Cheng. Before he left the country, he had entrusted Fang Yubin to handle the matter.

Of course, Wang Cheng knew that Fei Yunpeng was playing tricks and pushed Fang Yubin, who was slightly lower in rank, to the foreground.But after thinking about it, it's better to play tricks than tear your face apart. It's a good thing to win a friend, and it's the worst thing to do, and you can't add an enemy to yourself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.Wang Cheng picked up the mineral water bottle that fell on the ground, sat back on the chair, took a deep breath, and called "Come in".In front of his subordinates, he must show the demeanor that Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face, and he must not show a trace of panic.
