"I..."
Lin Xue moved her lips but said nothing in the end.
After leaving the Black Panther New Energy Electric Vehicle Company, Lu Yang received a call from Tang Shimin.
"Lu Yang, something's happened. People from the Gaoli conglomerate are causing trouble at Tang Corporation again and are threatening to see you!"
Tang Shimin said nervously.
"People from the Gaoli conglomerate? Are they bored?"
Lu Yang's expression changed slightly, and he drove directly towards Tang Corporation.
Ten minutes later, two Bentleys, exuding extreme luxury, were parked at the entrance of Tang Corporation. Four men in black suits and sunglasses stood on either side, looking very imposing.
"It seems this one's status is higher than that Han Liren's before!"
Seeing such a display, Lu Yang understood immediately. He parked his car at the entrance and walked inside.
"Who are you?"
One of the men in sunglasses blocked Lu Yang and asked coldly. He was speaking in Chinese.
"Aren't you waiting for me?"
Lu Yang asked coldly.
"Are you Lu Yang?"
The man in sunglasses continued to ask.
Seeing Lu Yang's confident expression, he didn't doubt further and said coldly, "Follow me in!"
Soon, Lu Yang was led into Tang Shimin's office. There, a man about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black trench coat and looking very handsome, was sitting in Tang Shimin's chairman's chair.
"Young Family Master, Lu Yang has been brought!"
The man in sunglasses said to the man, then stood aside.
"You are Lu Yang?"
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Han Liren's older brother. My name is Han Cheng'en, and I am here to apologize for my brother's actions!"
Han Cheng'en looked at Lu Yang. Although he spoke of apology, his eyes were filled with disdain.
Han Cheng'en was not like Han Liren, a second-generation heir who only knew how to use force and lacked brains. He was a very intelligent man. He had been a doctoral student at the most prestigious university in Bangzi Country and, after graduation, became the heir to the Gaoli conglomerate. He had been managing the conglomerate's assets for years.
He came to Jiangbei City because Han Liren had completely disgraced their Gaoli conglomerate here, which is why Han Cheng'en came to salvage the reputation of the Gaoli conglomerate.
As for Lu Yang, Han Cheng'en never took him seriously. While Lu Yang might not be his match in martial arts, a gentleman uses words, not fists. Han Cheng'en would never be foolish enough to confront Lu Yang directly.
"Is this your attitude of apology? It seems a bit forceful?"
Lu Yang sneered and asked Han Cheng'en.
"I know my brother's actions were wrong, especially involving Master Park. We businessmen should compete fairly through business means, wouldn't you agree?"
"I won't beat around the bush. I have my eye on this Tang Corporation, and I intend to acquire it now. My brother had already injected fifty billion into Tang Corporation, making him the largest shareholder. Therefore, Tang Corporation is mine now!"
Han Cheng'en's words left Lu Yang unsure of how to respond. It was true that Han Liren had injected fifty billion into Tang Corporation. However, at that time, Han Liren had already kidnapped Tang Shimin, and the chairman was still the mobile Tang Zixuan. Now, although Han Liren had been taken away by Chinese authorities, the largest shareholder of Tang Corporation was still the Gaoli conglomerate, an unchangeable fact.
Now, Han Cheng'en wanted to acquire Tang Corporation, and it was practically a done deal.
"You think fifty billion can acquire Tang Corporation? Isn't that a bit childish?"
Lu Yang sneered and said to Han Cheng'en.
"Childish? What do you mean? Tang Corporation's market value is only a little over one hundred million. I'm offering fifty billion for it, which is many times its value. In the business world, this is called a crushing acquisition. I could even acquire Chairman Tang Shimin herself!"
Han Cheng'en said coldly.
"I discussed with Chairman Tang Shimin yesterday, and we planned to inject sixty billion into Tang Corporation. Therefore, I am now the largest shareholder of Tang Corporation, not you!"
Lu Yang sneered. As someone familiar with economics, he understood that in the business world, whoever has more money calls the shots.
"What? Impossible, you couldn't have injected funds into Tang Corporation in such a short time!"
Han Cheng'en's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly.
"Nothing is impossible. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chairman Tang Shimin!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly.
"That's right. Chairman Lu and I discussed this yesterday, and Chairman Lu's funds will arrive soon. With the Chairman's approval, he is now the largest shareholder of our Tang Corporation!"
Tang Shimin quickly said.
"It's not 'soon,' the money has already arrived. You can check!"
Lu Yang continued.
"Arrived?"
Hearing this, Tang Shimin was a little stunned. Before Tang Shimin could react, the finance manager of Tang Corporation ran in and said excitedly to Tang Shimin, "Chairman, Haitong Group has transferred sixty billion to Tang Corporation!"
"What?"
Tang Shimin was instantly astonished, but she quickly realized that all of this was done by Lu Yang in a flash, with the sole purpose of helping her. She looked at Lu Yang gratefully, then said to the finance manager, "Alright, I understand!"
"Mr. Han, do you have anything else to say now?"
"Hmph, you win this time. I will withdraw my fifty billion immediately. Also, this is not over, this is just the beginning. We'll see!"
Han Cheng'en said coldly and left Tang Corporation with his men.
"Lu Yang, thank you. Thank you for saving me again!"
Seeing Han Cheng'en leave, Tang Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She sat down on the sofa and thanked Lu Yang repeatedly.
"You're welcome!"
Lu Yang said lightly.
"I'll transfer the sixty billion you gave to the company back to you. Tang Corporation isn't safe, and funds can be easily misused!"
Tang Shimin continued.
"It's alright, leave it there for now. As long as you keep the finance department's transfer password in your own hands!"
"By the way, that Han Cheng'en just now said this was only the beginning, and they would have further moves, likely soon. Call me anytime if anything happens!"
Lu Yang nodded and said. xxs1
"Mm!"
Tang Shimin also nodded and watched Lu Yang leave Tang Corporation.
At six o'clock in the evening, explosive news suddenly spread throughout Jiangbei City. The newly established pharmaceutical company in Jiangbei City, named Xinglong Pharmaceutical Company, had plundered all the medicinal materials in Jiangbei City and even seized medical equipment and apparatus.
The downstream suppliers who had previously cooperated with Tang Corporation all tore up their cooperation agreements with Tang Corporation and switched to cooperating with Xinglong Pharmaceutical Company, causing Tang Corporation to be paralyzed. Without raw materials, Tang Corporation was forced to announce a production halt.
At the Tang family villa, all the Tang family members were worried. They knew that all of this was orchestrated by the Gaoli conglomerate, yet not a single person could blame the Gaoli conglomerate. Instead, they blamed Tang Shimin.
"Tang Shimin, as the chairman of Tang Corporation, you refused to cooperate with the Gaoli conglomerate and instead cooperated with our Haitong Group. What are you thinking? What is Haitong Group compared to them? They are mere dust in front of the Gaoli conglomerate. Cooperating with them is seeking death!"
"Exactly! Offending the Gaoli conglomerate means our entire Tang family will be ruined. We thought you could lead Tang Corporation to glory, but you ended up leading it to ruin. Your brain is really messed up!"
"Tang Shimin, you must give us a satisfactory explanation today, or we won't let you off!"
"..."
All the Tang family members turned their anger towards Tang Shimin, cursing her relentlessly.
