Chapter 772 Making a Fortune!
"You... how did you know?"
Sima Hongtu stared at Wei Changzhe as if he had seen a ghost.
Only the successive patriarchs of the Sima family knew the location of the gold mine. How could Wei Changzhe know?
Wei Changzhe smiled slightly, putting on a show. "Is there anything I don't know?"
In fact, this news was told to Wei Changzhe by Jiang Ning, who had also made some preparations for it.
"Heh heh, so what if you know? What can you do to me? Our Sima family's gold mine is far away in Madagascar, Africa!" Sima Hongtu sneered.
No matter how capable the Wei family was, they couldn't reach Africa. Africa was a chaotic land, plagued by continuous warfare. The Sima family had considerable influence there. Could the Wei family snatch the gold mine across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?
"You'll find out in a moment."
Wei Changzhe said.
"Huh?"
Sima Hongtu looked at the confident Mr. Wei the Second, and for some reason, he had a bad premonition.
Could it be that Wei Changzhe had made some arrangements?
However, he waited and waited, but nothing happened.
Sweat began to bead on Wei Changzhe's forehead.
Sima Hongtu also dismissed his doubts.
He sneered, "Wei Changzhe, Wei Changzhe, let me see your trump card! If you're incapable, get lost! You're just a disgrace!"
Wei Changzhe's old face flushed.
Did that kid Jiang Ning play a trick on him?
If he couldn't handle the African gold mine, then his actions today would be no different from a clown's!
"Get lost!"
"Yeah, get lost! Don't make a spectacle of yourself here!"
The Sima family members clamored, full of confidence.
They never expected that the Sima family had a gold mine. That would change everything. Didn't they see those gold mine magnates and oil tycoons in Africa, each more extravagant than the last?
Sima Hongtu also sneered repeatedly.
But at that moment, a call came from Africa: Madagascar was destroyed, and the gold mine changed hands!
"What? How is that possible?"
Sima Hongtu jumped up, his face filled with disbelief.
The Sima family invested billions in Madagascar every year, not only to train their own forces but also to purchase arms. But now, even Madagascar was gone. This was beyond Sima Hongtu's imagination.
"What happened to the patriarch?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Madagascar was destroyed, and the gold mine changed hands!"
"Whoa!"
"How could this happen?"
"How is this possible?"
This news was like a bucket of cold water doused on the arrogant Sima family.
They were dreaming of owning a gold mine and living like millionaires, but unexpectedly, it all ended so quickly.
Everyone was in disbelief. How could such a thing happen?
Not to mention the Sima family's surprise, even Wei Changzhe was astonished.
Even Madagascar was wiped out?!
What kind of earth-shattering ability did this Jiang Ning possess?
No, it must be Chen Xuan!
Jiang Ning was backed by Chen Xuan. This must have been Chen Xuan's doing.
Wei Changzhe couldn't help but gasp. How foolish it was to have angered Chen Xuan back then!
"Mr. Wei the Second, did your Wei family do this?"
Sima Hongtu's eyes widened, and he glared at Wei Changzhe in anger.
That gold mine was the foundation of the Sima family. With the gold mine destroyed, Sima Hongtu was undoubtedly completely enraged.
"So what if it was my Wei family? So what if it wasn't? I already said before, your Sima family is nothing more than this!"
Wei Changzhe put on a good show.
Although Chen Xuan did it, it didn't prevent him from showing off.
"You're seeking death!"
Sima Hongtu lunged forward, baring his teeth and claws.
Bang!
A bodyguard beside Wei Changzhe kicked Sima Hongtu in the chest, sending him sprawling on the ground.
Sima Hongtu clutched his aching chest and slowly got up from the ground, his face contorted in pain.
Wei Changzhe then walked over, looking down at Sima Hongtu from above. "I offer thirty billion to acquire your Wei family. Do you agree?"
His voice was cold, exuding unparalleled dominance and authority, leaving no room for doubt!
At this moment, in Sima Hongtu's eyes, Wei Changzhe was like the judge of the underworld, as if a single word or action could determine the life and death of the Sima family.
As for the other members of the Sima family, their faces were ashen, and cold sweat streamed down their foreheads.
"What do you say?"
"I'll consider it..."
Sima Hongtu almost agreed.
But he remembered that he still had several allies, and there was a grand plan to annex the Wei family the next day. This gave him some confidence.
"Then consider it. However, for every hour that passes, our acquisition funds will decrease by one hundred million." Wei Changzhe had a look of absolute certainty about taking down the Sima family.
This expression further infuriated Sima Hongtu.
He was the patriarch of one of the four great families, arrogant and high-minded.
Now, being suppressed so thoroughly by Wei Changzhe made him extremely displeased.
He stared at Wei Changzhe, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Just you wait, before your Wei family acquires mine, your Wei family will go bankrupt! Let's see how you threaten my Sima family!
Afterward, Wei Changzhe had his men directly rest on the Sima family's sofa.
Sima Hongtu hurriedly sent a text message to Li Tianxing, informing him of the situation and urging him to act quickly. He asked him to have someone finalize the acquisition contract immediately, fearing that something major would happen to the Sima family.
Li Tianxing was also greatly shocked, not expecting that the Sima family, one of the noble great families, would now face a crisis of bankruptcy.
This is terrifying!
"Patriarch Sima, I know you're anxious, but the Wei family's major client is from the North. They are still in the North, and their flight is tonight. They won't arrive in the provincial capital until tomorrow morning!"
Li Tianxing took a breath and said slowly.
"We must be quick, otherwise I fear my Sima family won't be able to hold on!" Sima Hongtu pleaded.
"Patriarch Sima, don't worry. That's a sure thing. Once we secure the Wei family's Northern clients, the Wei family will have no choice but to compromise."
Sima Hongtu thought about it and felt slightly relieved, gaining some confidence.
In the blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock the next morning. However, this night was an ordeal for the Sima family.
For Sima Hongtu, it was even more tormenting. He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes had dark circles.
Sima Hongtu was listless, without a trace of a smile.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Sima Hongtu picked it up and after a moment, he jumped up from the sofa and then burst into laughter.
"Great, great!"
"Patriarch Sima, what's making you so happy?"
A voice echoed.
Wei Changzhe, with his hands behind his back, strode in briskly from outside.
Sima Hongtu quickly shoved his phone into his pocket and smoothed his expression, shaking his head. "It's nothing."
"Have you considered my offer?"
Wei Changzhe asked with a smile.
"I haven't decided yet." Sima Hongtu shook his head.
"Then consider it carefully. Ten hours have passed, and the acquisition funds have been reduced to two billion."
After speaking, Wei Changzhe turned and left.
"Bah! Two billion? Your Wei family should save it to buy coffins for yourselves!"
After Wei Changzhe left, Sima Hongtu grumbled.
Then, he called Li Tianxing. "Patriarch Li, since the people from the North have arrived, please expedite the negotiations. I, Sima Hongtu, thank you!"
...
Chen Xuan was eating when he suddenly received a text message from Yang Chaotian: The people from the North will arrive soon!
He put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"Chen Xuan, where are you going?" Su Yunxi asked with a frown.
"To make a fortune!"
After saying that, Chen Xuan walked out of the Su family villa without looking back.
