222: Chapter 222: Holy Shit!

Looting in the Chaos!

Wang Taixiong cried his heart out, at a loss for words.

Huang Siwei grabbed the phone, turned on the speakerphone, and replied:

“Sorry, Mr.

Wu, we’ve had a little accident over here and might not be able to make it for now.”

“An accident?

Was there a car crash?

Did you call an ambulance?” Wu Jie asked in an anxious tone.

Huang Siwei gritted his teeth and said, “No, it’s something else.”

“Damn it!!”

Wu Jie roared:

“Everything was agreed upon yesterday.

Six billion seven hundred million to purchase eighty percent of the shares.

How could you suddenly go back on your word today?”

“If you wanted to renege, you should have said so earlier!

The negotiation meeting is about to start, and you tell me you’re not coming?

Are you playing games with me?”

“It’s one thing to toy with me, but to mess with the company, have you grown tired of living?

Damn it, do you not realize that until the acquisition is complete, you’re still subordinates?

Are you trying to rebel and reach for the heavens?”

“Where’s Wang Taixiong?

That son of a turtle just knows how to cry.

Is he sobbing his heart out?

Tell him to pick up the phone right now; he must give me an explanation, or else, I’ll order the company to be shut down this instant, and everyone will be suspended for an investigation!!”

Suspension!!

As he cried, Wang Taixiong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Money lost can be earned again.

But if the company shuts down, how will they continue to produce films and launder money?

If they went further and fired Wang Taixiong and others, years of hard work would completely go to waste.

“No!

Please, Jie!

I’m begging you!”

Suddenly, like a man driven mad, Wang Taixiong stopped crying, stood up, snatched the phone, and cried out as he pleaded:

“Jie, it’s all my fault, brother.

I didn’t mean to play you or the company.

I really ran into an accident!”

Wu Jie asked coldly:

“What kind of accident?

Is someone backing out, or did you suddenly have a disagreement within your ranks?”

Wang Taixiong straightened up.

With tear-filled eyes, he looked around at everyone—Xu Changshan, Fang Guozhi, Mu Huan, Mu En…

All of them were staring at him with different expressions.

The three major families are major money launderers, and naturally, they contributed the most to the fundraising.

A fire turns everything to ashes; can one not feel utterly heartbroken and pained?

But what about Wang Taixiong himself?

Wasn’t he betting all his assets too?

Heartache surged from deep within as Wang Taixiong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

“We…

we have some minor differences for the time being, but please believe me, I will resolve them soon!”

Without waiting for Wu Jie to speak, Wang Taixiong immediately hung up.

“What should we do, everyone?”

“The group is already prepared for the acquisition negotiations, but they’ll only wait for us until nine-thirty!”

“It’s eight fifteen now, we have a little over an hour!”

Wang Taixiong, clutching the phone, looked around with a mournful gaze.

Nobody spoke; everyone was silent as if they had become mute.

“Don’t just stand there!”

“I’m begging you!

Brothers!”

“This is a rare opportunity.

Without this company, laundering money will become much harder in the future!”

“The money is piled up at the venue, and you all have people guarding it.

I haven’t embezzled nor set any fire!”

“I want to complete this acquisition more than anyone else.

You all feel the pain, but I feel it even more deeply!”

“I’m begging you all, for heaven’s sake, say something!”

With a thud,

Wang Taixiong dropped to his knees, his eyes pleading as he looked at the powerful figures surrounding him.

Tanglong Culture Media was a company he’d single-handedly brought back from the brink of bankruptcy to its current grand scale.

He had deep emotional ties to the company, was full of confidence about its future, and was keen on going public for fundraising and rampant money laundering.

Alas…

How could he possibly come up with several billion for the acquisition now?

Time was slipping away…

Wang Taixiong’s heart bled with every passing moment.

Suddenly!

Xu Feng, who had come to watch the excitement, strolled around and came back.

“Damn, tens of billions burned clean!”

“It’s just a pity I arrived one step too late, otherwise I’d have to see just how spectacular it would be to watch several billion burn!”

Xu Feng’s mocking words were like a bayonet, viciously poking at everyone’s sore spot.

Mu En’s face turned iron blue as he roared at Wang Taixiong, who was kneeling on the ground without getting up:

“Billions have gone up in flames and you still want to acquire the company?

So, by our calculation, wouldn’t that be tantamount to spending over a hundred billion?”

“Yeah!

67 billion to buy an 80% stake is still a sure win, but to add more, it becomes 134 billion…

that’s…

that’s way too expensive!”

Mu Huan said indignantly.

Wang Taixiong immediately retorted:

“Even if it is over a hundred billion, so what?

Once we become the majority shareholders, with plenty of hype and themes, it would be easy to reach a valuation of hundreds of billions.

Those internet companies just need to set up a website and within two or three years, they can hit a market value of twenty or thirty billion.

What are we afraid of?”

“If you all have reservations, then I’ll join you in this gamble with my life!

If the company doesn’t go public within three years, if I haven’t made everyone’s investment back with a huge profit, I’ll pay with my life.

Can you trust me now?”

Gamble with his life?

Several people’s faces tightened.

Wang Taixiong was really going all in this time!

But still, many people remained silent.

However, Xu Feng, who had been enjoying the commotion, stood up.

“Get up, Mr.

Wang.

You’re known as a big shot in the entertainment industry.

How can you demean yourself by kneeling?”

“Talking nonsense with these short-sighted fools won’t persuade them to give you more money.

It’s because when people are poor, their ambitions are short!”

“But the Xu Family is different.

We’ve successfully invested in several Internet startups, all of which have gone public in the US!”

“Any one of them has a valuation over tens of billions, so if they don’t see your potential, I’ll invest!”

“Isn’t it just 67 billion?

As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I can get the money to you quickly!”

As he spoke, Xu Feng glanced coldly around him.

“As for those present, if you want to come to us for money laundering in the future, sorry, but there will be a 20% handling fee.

Not a penny less!”

As soon as his words fell, someone immediately objected:

“What the fuck!

You’re really exploiting the situation!

We also put in money; we’re shareholders too!”

Xu Feng sneered, “Your money has already been burned to ashes before it could go towards acquisition.

What kind of bullshit shareholders are you?”

Xu Changshan and Fang Guozhi exchanged glances, both sensing trouble.

If Xu Feng became the behind-the-scenes major shareholder, the money laundering channels they had operated for years would be completely out of control.

In dealing with Xu Feng, not only would the fees be high, but the risks would be greater and they would be at his mercy.

To rebuild the money laundering channel would require time and a sufficiently strong backing.

Everyone present, since they could earn dirty money, was certainly no fool.

They knew full well that they couldn’t let Xu Feng have control over their lifeline, or else the future trouble would be endless.

“Wang Taixiong, don’t forget you cooperated with us first!”

“Yeah!

We’ve already raised money once.

Even if it’s burned, we can just transfer funds again, right?”

“We joined the first round of financing.

If you, Mr.

Xu, want to come in, then wait for the second round of financing!”

“Give me an account number, I’ll transfer the funds immediately according to last night’s figures!”

“Me too!

Hurry up!”

…

The mood was heated, every second counted.

Time is money!

Wang Taixiong had no time to go home to shower.

He washed himself off with a hose and found someone of a similar build to swap clothes with.

Various powers recommended each other, forming a negotiation team led by Wang Taixiong, who hurried to the group’s headquarters.

However…

On the way to the downtown area, they encountered the morning rush hour, moving stop and go—it was terribly congested.

Time kept slipping by, and the 9:30 AM deadline was drawing closer and closer.

In the car, Wang Taixiong was sweating profusely; he was truly frantic.

He made several phone calls, but Wu Jie didn’t answer, so he sent urgent messages.

“Bro, please don’t cancel the meeting!

I’m bringing people over right now, I’m begging you, hold the meeting for me!”

“Could you do me a favor?

Let me catch this negotiation meeting, and I’ll throw in an extra ten million as your fee!”

“Bro, can you reply?

You there?”

Buzz!

The phone vibrated faintly as Wu Jie replied.

“Transfer twenty million to this card, and I can hold them off for one hour!”

Following the message was a photo of a bank card.

An hour?

Twenty million?

Fuck!

That’s really taking advantage of someone’s misfortune!
