Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Absorbing Shareholders

Chairman Hee, provoked by Yang Tian’s comment, felt his suppressed anger flaring up again as he roared, "Do you even understand? Without us shareholders, the Yang Group would collapse instantly! Yet you talk about better development? Who do you think you are?"

"Because I can bring in investors who outclass all of you several times over," Yang Tian said calmly.

"Outclass us several times over? You, of all people?" Chairman Hee sneered, his expression full of disdain.

Seeing this, Yang Tian didn’t bother explaining further and instead chuckled. "Whether or not I can find investors is none of your business. I’m just asking—are you pulling out your shares or not? If yes, then do it quickly!"

"Hmph! Pulling out! With a reckless brat like you running wild, the Yang Group is doomed! Sell my shares!" Chairman Hee snapped immediately.

The other shareholders echoed his sentiment one after another.

Unfazed, Yang Tian calmly took out his phone, dialed a few numbers with patience, and then leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

Chairman Hee, who had already risen to leave, suddenly sat back down, smirking sarcastically. "I’ve decided to withdraw, but I’d love to see who these supposed investors of yours are!"

"Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough," Yang Tian said without even opening his eyes.

Silence slowly descended over the conference room.

Yang Tian looked utterly relaxed, while Chairman Hee and the other five shareholders wore mocking smiles.

Nobody knew how much time had passed when Chairman Hee glanced at the clock and taunted, "Kid, where are these investors of yours? Why aren’t they here yet? You didn’t make it all up, did you?"

"Do you think everyone’s as dishonest as you?" Yang Tian responded with a faint smile.

"You..."

Chairman Hee was incensed again but soon let out a disdainful laugh. "I won’t argue with you. I’ll just sit here and watch the Yang Group crumble under your incompetence..."

*Knock, knock, knock!*

Before he could finish, a sudden knock at the door interrupted him. A young female employee entered with a respectful demeanor and announced, "Chairman, shareholders, Mr. Li Ming from the Li Family has arrived and wishes to meet Mr. Yang!"

Mr. Li Ming from the Li Family?

Hearing the news, Chairman Hee’s brows furrowed deeply.

Could the Li Family be the investors Yang Tian had referred to?

That’s impossible!

The Li Family was a financial giant. No matter how rapidly the Yang Group was developing, it was unlikely to catch the Li Family’s interest!

Moreover, as the dominant force in Binjiang, the Li Family and the Yang Family were natural competitors. For the Li Family to inject funds into a rival would be tantamount to raising a tiger that might one day devour them!

How could the shrewd Li Family make such a foolish move?

And yet, Yang Tian—young and inexperienced, with zero involvement in the Yang Group till now—had no presence in Binjiang’s business circles.

How could a mere novice convince the Li Family?

Still, regardless of his doubts, the Li Family’s dominance couldn’t be dismissed.

So, hearing that Li Ming had arrived, Chairman Hee quickly stood up to greet him.

The other shareholders also hurriedly followed, their eyes fixed on the doorway.

They watched as Li Ming, clad in a sharp suit, strode confidently into the conference room under the guidance of the young employee.

"Mr. Li, what an honor to have you here! Please, take a seat!"

Chairman Hee approached him obsequiously, his face practically plastered with a fawning smile.

"Indeed! Mr. Li visiting the Yang Group is a privilege for all of us here!"

"Mr. Li, is there something the Li Family wishes to communicate to us?"

"Mr. Li, can I get you a glass of water?"

The other four shareholders eagerly lined up to flatter Li Ming, their enthusiasm palpable.

But Li Ming merely waved his hand and said, "No need. I’m here to speak with Mr. Yang."

With that, Li Ming walked past them directly. He stopped before Yang Zhigang to politely greet him, "Uncle, good afternoon." Then, turning to Yang Tian, who had been sitting serenely throughout, Li Ming respectfully said, "Mr. Yang, as per your call, my grandfather instructed me to meet with you immediately!"

"Mm," Yang Tian casually nodded before asking, "So, has Elder Li explained everything to you?"

"Of course. Our Li Family is very interested in investing in the Yang Group. We’d like to form a partnership to grow Binjiang’s market together!" Li Ming said with a smile.

*Crash!*

A shareholder who had gone to get a glass of water dropped his cup, sending it shattering to the floor.

Chairman Hee’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Invest? Were they really here to invest?

How was this possible?

What kind of power did this young Yang Tian possess?

With a single phone call, he managed to get Li Ming to humbly come and invest? And judging by Li Ming’s attitude, he appeared to respect Yang Tian even more than Yang Zhigang.

As for the others in the room, they’d only received perfunctory greetings.

The disparity was staggering!

"M-Mr. Li, did I hear that right? The Li Family wants to invest in the Yang Group?" Chairman Hee stammered, his disbelief evident.

Li Ming nodded and replied, "You heard correctly. The Li Family has decided to invest five hundred million to acquire one percent of Yang Si’s shares."

Five hundred million?

One percent?

Chairman Hee felt as though he’d heard something out of a fantasy!

As shareholders, they were well aware that the Yang Group’s total market value barely approached one billion!

Five hundred million could easily buy over fifty percent of the company, yet the Li Family was only asking for one percent? This was outright philanthropy!

And in fact, Chairman Hee’s assumption wasn’t wrong!

Li Ming’s purpose here was precisely to deliver money to Yang Tian!

Although the Li Family didn’t belong to the Cultivation World, they had caught wind of Yang Tian’s recent exploits: annihilating the Ma Family and Du Family, intimidating the Jiang Family, and consolidating power over Su Province and the Southern Province.

To them, Yang Tian was a rising titan, a new regional overlord with limitless potential. Securing his goodwill was worth any cost—even more than five hundred million.

Of course, these details were unknown to Chairman Hee. So, after hearing Li Ming’s words, he forced a laugh and remarked, "Mr. Li, you must be joking! Five hundred million could practically buy half of the Yang Group!"

"I’m not joking," Li Ming said, his brows furrowing with sincerity.

"This..."

Chairman Hee’s face twitched uncontrollably.

Before he could get another word in, the young female employee from earlier knocked on the conference room door again.

"What now?" Chairman Hee snapped irritably.

The employee flinched but timidly explained, "Chairman Hee, there are... more individuals requesting to meet Mr. Yang."

"More? Who?" Chairman Hee asked, bewildered.

"Not one... three!"

The employee stammered, "They introduced themselves as Guo Wenyu of the Guo Family, Chen Hao of the Chen Family, and Jia Yu of the Jia Family from Su Province!"

"Guo Wenyu? Chen Hao? Jia Yu?"

Hearing those names, Chairman Hee’s brows furrowed at first, but then his face shifted to one of utter shock.

Being so close to Su Province, how could a seasoned businessman like him not recognize these names? These three were some of the most influential figures in Su Province!

Each of them was comparable to the Li Family in power and influence.

"Could it be that this rascal Yang Tian called them here to invest as well?"

Chairman Hee glanced at Li Ming, trying to suppress his panic.

"Impossible! Getting the Li Family was already inexplicable. There’s no way the three titans of Su Province would come to invest too! Absolutely impossible!"

Resolving himself, Chairman Hee quickly instructed, "Let them in!"

As he said this, he busied himself adjusting his suit once more and moved forward to greet them.
