Chapter 204 We Agreed
Madam Liu finished speaking and glanced instinctively at Liu Ran.
Seeing Liu Ran with her head down, looking indifferent, she couldn't help but snort coldly, then continued, "Now I've taken out our Liu family's two hundred million yuan in savings, and Liu Xin and Yang Long have also obtained three hundred million yuan in cash from their Yang family. However, this is still far from enough."
"Therefore, anyone in our family who has a large amount of cash should contribute. After we acquire the Blue Sky Building, the profits will be returned to the investors according to their proportion of contribution."
"I estimate that ten billion yuan will be needed to acquire the Blue Sky Building tomorrow."
"However, even if we don't operate it after acquiring it, and just resell the Blue Sky Building, it will take only one month for the Blue Sky Building to be worth at least fifteen billion yuan. The five billion yuan profit in between can be returned according to the amount invested."
The younger generation of the Liu family all pretended to be greedy and joyful.
"Oh my! To earn fifty percent in one month! This investment is truly excellent. If I had money, I would take it out immediately. If I had ten billion yuan, I would take it out now, and it would become fifteen billion yuan in a month."
"This is also an opportunity to contribute to the family. If I had money, I would definitely take it all out."
"I'm going to mortgage our house..."
The people around them whispered, their eyes occasionally looking at Liu Ran.
However, Liu Ran just kept her head down and said nothing.
Liu Ran was still immersed in her past sorrow.
She was already utterly disappointed with this large family. Moreover, today, when her grandmother said she had two hundred million yuan in savings but refused to give five thousand yuan to help her family with their troubles.
At this moment, Liu Ran's heart was completely dead.
No matter how well Madam Liu spoke, she would not touch this mess.
Liu Ran remained silent, and the old lady finally couldn't sit still. Madam Liu stood up and said, "Liu Ran, your cousin said that your business is doing quite well now, and you should have several hundred million yuan on hand?"
"Why don't you contribute another five hundred million yuan? That way, our Liu family can soar after acquiring the Blue Sky Building. As a member of the Liu family, won't you have your face too?"
Liu Ran heard this and looked up, her eyes becoming indifferent. She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. My money is for the next stage of business expansion and cannot be moved for the time being, so I cannot contribute money. If you were short ten or twenty thousand yuan, I might be able to help, but the shortage is too large now, and I am powerless."
Madam Liu's face turned green with anger upon hearing this.
Liu Xin, who was beside her, could no longer hold back and directly jumped out, pointing at Liu Ran and saying, "Liu Ran, are you even a member of the Liu family?! Ten or twenty thousand? You still have the nerve to say that. Don't think we don't know, your cosmetics sell for three hundred yuan a box, and you've recently sold over a million boxes, which is three hundred million yuan."
Liu Ran chuckled and said, "Yes, my surname is Liu, but am I really a member of the Liu family? When our family of three was expelled from the Liu family and hounded by the financial company, did you ever consider me a member of the Liu family then?"
Liu Xin, furious, pointed at Liu Ran's nose and scolded, "Liu Ran, at a time like this, you're still bringing up old grievances. Don't you have any shame? The Liu family raising you is already the greatest kindness. What more do you want?"
Liu Ran couldn't be bothered to say more to Liu Xin. She pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go. This family meeting is meaningless, and I don't have any money."
Seeing that Liu Ran was really leaving, Madam Liu immediately slammed the table. This time, she had to reveal her trump card and ultimate weapon.
Madam Liu said, "Xiao Ran, don't leave yet. Indeed, there were things I did wrong in the past, and there were times when I treated your family badly, but those were all due to unavoidable circumstances."
"As the head of the Liu family, I look at the development of our entire family. Think about it, when you were being hounded by the financial company, were you short of a few tens of thousands of yuan?"
"No! You offended the young master of the Bai family, and it was the Bai family's financial company that wanted to deal with you. If I hadn't driven you out, it would have implicated everyone in our Liu family. What could I have done?"
"Of course, I also admit that I made mistakes. This time, I announce that if you can raise ten billion yuan and acquire the Blue Sky Building, then you will be the head of the Liu family in the future."
"Of course, this condition is also valid for others. Whoever can bid for the Blue Sky Building will be the head of the Liu family."
Then Madam Liu looked at Liu Ran and said, "Liu Ran, I want you to understand that I am not a selfish old woman. Now, I have five hundred million yuan here, and I will keep it. Whoever has the ability to bid can take it."
"And the position of the Liu family head will belong to him in the future!"
"By saying this, Xiao Ran, shouldn't you feel relieved? Shouldn't you see that I am truly working for the development of the Liu family, not for myself?"
Liu Ran hesitated upon hearing this, frowned, and then her heart grew cold again. She really didn't want to get involved with such relatives anymore.
Liu Ran shook her head and said, "Grandma, you also said there's a shortfall of five hundred million yuan! I really can't come up with five hundred million yuan, so let's forget it. As for the position of Liu family head, I have no interest."
Just then, Chen Yang reached out and pulled Liu Ran's hand.
Liu Ran turned to look at Chen Yang in surprise.
Chen Yang smiled, then raised his hand and said loudly, "Alright, old lady, you said it clearly. Whoever bids for the commercial building will be the future head of the Liu family, and the Blue Sky Building will be in her name. All other Liu family assets will be under her unified allocation, right?"
Madam Liu couldn't help but smile when she saw that Chen Yang had finally spoken and taken the bait.
Madam Liu nodded and said, "Of course, I have said this in front of everyone, and it naturally counts."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "That's good. Transfer that five hundred million yuan to my wife's card. We will raise the remaining five hundred million yuan within the next day."
Madam Liu laughed and said, "Alright, Chen Yang. Although you were quite useless before, you have some manliness at this moment. You're a bit stronger than your wife."
"Liu Ran, you should also learn from Chen Yang and see his decisiveness at critical moments. With your current personality, your business will ultimately not grow big."
Liu Ran automatically filtered out Madam Liu's words and turned to look at Chen Yang with confusion.
Chen Yang simply smiled.
He whispered in Liu Ran's ear, "Wife, have you forgotten? We discussed buying a building as our company headquarters before!"
"Look, the opportunity is here now. The Blue Sky Building is very suitable for our company's status!"
"Its price is not too high, it's relatively new, and its location is excellent. Most importantly, its reputation is not bad. It's the former landmark building of Qingzhou City, so let's buy it as our headquarters!"
Liu Ran frowned in confusion, feeling that something was not quite right.
But Chen Yang sounded so sure, she subconsciously nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll go back to the company now and check how much money we can access."
After the family meeting, Liu Ran rushed back to the company headquarters to check her balance.
