The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 319 - 319 319 The Eve of Negotiations

319: Chapter 319: The Eve of Negotiations 319: Chapter 319: The Eve of Negotiations “While Tianya Group might not have the financial strength and resources of the Ji Family, when it comes to technology investment, we are in no way inferior.

Moreover, the newly established company in Yanjing is led by Tianya Group.

Why can’t we hold a forty percent stake?” Su Qingyu said with determination, then she looked towards Ye Shikai, her eyes seemingly in search of affirmation.

Even the strongest woman, at heart, longs for the support of her significant other.

Especially in the cutthroat world of business, full of scheming and power plays, even a formidable woman like Su Qingyu doesn’t muster her courage out of thin air.

After getting married, Ye Shikai became her emotional pillar.

And this cooperation with Wu Group is Tianya Group’s largest business venture in recent years.

It’s normal for Su Qingyu to feel some anxiety, and she is like a hen protecting her chicks when it comes to the issue of share distribution, unwilling to give any ground.

“Qingyu, you have to understand, this negotiation is just about deciding who our partner will be.

If you refuse to budge at this stage, and are not willing to compromise, then you are giving the Ji Family an opportunity to take advantage of our weakness,” Luo Shiqi advised earnestly.

As a consultant for Tianya Group, Ye Shikai is confident that she would not scheme against Su Qingyu.

Combined with her rich experience, the advice she provided was valuable.

Ye Shikai also wanted to persuade Su Qingyu to make some concessions, but upon seeing her stubborn and slightly nervous expression, the words died in his throat.

Su Qingyu bit her lower lip lightly – she was waiting for Ye Shikai’s response, waiting for his support.

“Shiqi, isn’t there any other way?” Ye Shikai countered.

“This is my recommendation, to first agree to Wu Group’s demands.

Once the Ji Family has completely given up hope, and Wu Group has gone past the point of no return with Tianya, then we can renegotiate and talk things over,” said Luo Shiqi.

It’s more accurate to say she is Su Qingyu’s think tank than just a consultant for Tianya Group.

Those directly involved get confused; the onlookers see clearly.

In the collaboration between Tianya and Wu Group, Luo Shiqi appears more like a third party, hence her opinion is fair and impartial.

Just like Professor Blair’s mantra in the training course, to place oneself in the position of the third party and observe the whole picture from a god-like perspective.

Seeing that the negotiation was just around the corner and yet there was such a disagreement between the two, Ye Shikai felt a headache coming on.

He walked over to Su Qingyu and patted her shoulder.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you, trust me.” Ye Shikai’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, a calming pill.

Su Qingyu’s lips curved slightly upwards, and she nuzzled her head into his chest.

Although Su Qingyu is the CEO of Tianya Group, right now, she is more inclined to respect Ye Shikai’s opinion.

If Ye Shikai truly asked Su Qingyu to negotiate according to Luo Shiqi’s thoughts, she would do so.

In this negotiation, Wu Group is undoubtedly the host.

They are faced with two choices: Tianya and the Ji Family.

Although Ye Shikai supports Su Qingyu’s thoughts, what Luo Shiqi said was correct—if they are completely unyielding, Wu Liang might really opt for the Ji Family.

After all, the eternal pursuit of businessmen is profits.

Although Ye Shikai is not well-versed in business, he is very aware of the balance of power.

The reason Wu Liang tends to favor Tianya over the Ji Family is not only due to potential but also because the Ji Family and Wu Group are evenly matched in strength.

Once they cooperate, the Wu Group will definitely not get many shares, and profits would be reduced.

But by choosing Tianya Group, Wu Group can leverage the current power disparity to obtain the majority of the shares.

Once the new company thrives, Wu Group stands to gain a much larger profit.

Simply put, it is like fattening up for a bigger harvest.

Wu Liang is indeed an old fox, with a sharp eye, knowing Tianya Group’s weaknesses and strengths.

He takes advantage of Tianya Group’s weaknesses while also exploiting its strengths for development, gaining both ways—a strategy that is both calculated and savvy.

As a family head, his experience and cunning are natural, or he wouldn’t be able to maintain the Wu Family’s dominion in the fiercely competitive Hong Kong.

Ye Shikai drove back to Netherworld Palace’s base, and while driving, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, Ghost, it’s me,” Ye Shikai spoke coolly, and, naturally, the person on the other end of the phone was Ghost.

“Boss, what do you need?” Ghost asked.

“How did you do with the task I gave you last time?” Ye Shikai asked.

“Just finished it.

Boss, you have no idea, there are a few stubborn old geezers who are like ‘nail households’.

It took a lot of talking before they finally agreed,” Ghost’s voice sounded somewhat complaining.

“That’s for the best.

Send me the document immediately; I have a big use for it tomorrow,” Ye Shikai said impatiently.

“No problem, I’ll fax it over right away.

But Boss, are you sure it’s really worth it?

We’ve spent thirty or forty billion on this,” Ghost asked with doubt.

“Of course it’s worth it, and very much so.

It won’t be long before this will turn into seventy or eighty billion,” Ye Shikai said firmly, then hung up the phone.

He was planning to go to the Netherworld Palace base, but suddenly, Ye Shikai turned the car around toward the direction of the Hong Kong hospital.

…

Hong Kong hospital.

“Demoness, how is his condition?” Ye Shikai quietly opened the door of the ward.

Demoness was sitting on a sofa next to it, looking somewhat exhausted, occasionally dozing off.

Ever since Nightmare was last assassinated, she learned her lesson and dared not leave the ward for a second, providing 24-hour close protection.

“He just fell asleep, the doctor said his condition has stabilized,” Demoness said in a whisper, afraid of waking the sleeping Nightmare.

“I saw that assassin, the one from the Tomb Spirit Organization, what’s her name, Illusion Fox,” Demoness said indignantly, “The next time I see her, I vow to kill her.”

“This is a knot in Nightmare’s own heart, let him untie it himself,” Ye Shikai murmured.

“What do you mean by that?” Demoness asked, puzzled.

“Inside the Netherworld Palace, who among you could manage a sneak attack on him?” Ye Shikai led Demoness out of the ward and asked meaningfully.

“None, besides you, there should be no one else, not even me and Soul Destroyer could do it,” Demoness shook her head, her tone filled with helplessness.

“That’s right, then how did Illusion Fox manage to do it?” Ye Shikai asked back.

“This…

How would I know?” Demoness waved her hand.

“If I’m not mistaken, Nightmare’s relationship with Illusion Fox is out of the ordinary.

He was originally Tomb Spirit Organization’s Star Lian and was already acquainted with that woman,” Ye Shikai held his chin, carefully analyzing, “And even I am not certain I could place this sharp blade in his left chest unscathed.” Ye Shikai took out the sharp blade from his bag, which was the murder weapon of Illusion Fox.

“What are you trying to say?” Demoness asked.

“Nightmare did it on purpose,” Ye Shikai’s eyes revealed a resolute expression.
