Li Siqi sighed and said, "I didn't expect Feng Yang to be so ruthless. There aren't many places like Liangju Bay in Bird City. I was afraid of such a situation back then, so I deliberately signed a thirty-year term in the contract, and if breached, there's a penalty of ten times the compensation."
"How much is the ten times penalty?" Xia Mingyue looked at Li Siqi and asked.
Li Siqi replied, "900 million."
That means the yearly rent for Liangju Bay should be 90 million. Considering the scale of Liangju Bay, 90 million isn't really much.
"Looks like Feng Yang committed a lot of capital," Jiang Miaoke said, then immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, this matter started because of you, you need to think of a remedy, leaving Liangju Bay isn't an option."
Ye Xiao heard Jiang Miaoke's words, gave a slight smile, and said, "Aren't you putting me in a tough spot? Alright, let me think, oh right, Qiqi, is Liangju Bay a Feng family enterprise?"
"No, it's just a holding company of Fengtian Group. It's said that Fengtian Group controls about forty percent of all the shares of Liangju Bay. Although Fengtian Group only has forty percent, they're the largest shareholder. When Liangju Bay was initially built, the Feng family didn't intend to buy in. It was the founder 'Mao Xiaoguang' who let Fengtian Group invest for financing. Now the main shares of Liangju Bay are in the hands of four people: Fengtian Group, Mao Xiaoguang, Chen Zhonglin, and Zhang Hanwei!" Li Siqi said.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, "I didn't expect Liangju Bay to be so complicated. So, Mao Xiaoguang, Chen Zhonglin, and Zhang Hanwei, how much do they each hold? Do you know?"
"I know. Mao Xiaoguang holds the most, about thirty-five percent. Chen Zhonglin and Zhang Hanwei are both real estate developers who invested in Liangju Bay just to make money. Usually, Mao Xiaoguang is the one at Liangju Bay." Li Siqi sighed and then said to Ye Xiao, "They know the strength of Fengtian Group, so they wouldn't oppose them."
"Do you know where these three live?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Are you going to find them?" Li Siqi looked at Ye Xiao and said, "They would never help us."
"If you don't try, how would you know?" Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Liangju Bay was founded by Mao Xiaoguang. I believe, as his own business, he wouldn't want someone causing trouble there. So, my suggestion is to go find Mao Xiaoguang immediately."
Li Siqi looked at the serious Ye Xiao, and even she hesitated because she was unsure if Mao Xiaoguang would really help her.
At this moment, Jiang Miaoke also said, "Yeah, whether it works or not, we should give it a try."
"But, should we go find Mao Xiaoguang now?" Li Siqi said hesitantly.
"That's right, go now, but first, have we all eaten enough?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the girls immediately said they were full.
After that, Ye Xiao went straight to pay the bill, then left the Flower Qianqiu Secret Roasted Fish with the girls.
"You all shouldn't come along." Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue, Jiang Miaoke, Lan Lan, and Fang Jing, saying, "Now should be the time for KTV, so go wait for us there. I'm sure we'll be back soon."
"I want to go too!" Jiang Miaoke immediately said.
Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "This time is not for fun, it's for the Weihang Club."
Seeing Ye Xiao's serious expression, Jiang Miaoke finally fell silent.
"How will you get there?" Xia Mingyue asked.
Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue and said, "Ming Yue, you drive them to have fun. I'll drive Coco's car with Qiqi to handle things."
"Alright, but you guys be careful." Xia Mingyue said.
Ye Xiao heard this and chuckled lightly, saying to Xia Mingyue, "Don't worry, I'll be back safe and sound. I know if I died, you'd be sad."
"What kind of talk is that, can't you say something positive?" Xia Mingyue glared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Alright, then prosperity and good luck."
Then, Ye Xiao and Li Siqi got into Jiang Miaoke's Porsche.
"This Ye Xiao is certainly decisive, but whether this Mao Xiaoguang would actually cooperate is another question." Jiang Miaoke said, watching as the Porsche disappeared from sight.
"Isn't that so typical of Ye Xiao? It seems like all our troubles are his own. If he doesn't help us resolve them, it's like he owes us money." Fang Jing said softly.
Xia Mingyue, Jiang Miaoke, and Lan Lan all nodded in agreement.
Summer Ming Yue said, "So where do we go now?"
Jiang Miaoke immediately replied, "Of course, to the KTV. Didn't Ye Xiao say so? He told us to wait there."
"Alright then, let's first decide which KTV to go to."
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao in the Porsche drove the car swiftly towards the highway.
"Ye Xiao, if we rush to find Mao Xiaoguang now, I'm worried he might not be willing to cooperate with us. Like we just said, it's very unlikely that Mao Xiaoguang would go against Feng Yang." Li Siqi said with some concern.
"Yes, but it's just very unlikely, not impossible. Hmm, how much do you think it would cost to buy all of Mao Xiaoguang's shares?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile while driving.
"Ah?" Li Siqi was instantly surprised at Ye Xiao's words and looked at him, saying, "You want to buy Mao Xiaoguang's shares? I'm afraid he won't sell them at all. This Liangju Bay is the number one racetrack in Bird City. All the races are held here; it's basically a cash cow. Why would he give it up?"
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Nothing is not for sale. As long as you can afford it, you can buy anything."
"Liangju Bay is valued at around 500 million Northern Federation Coins, which converts to about 3 to 3.5 billion Yan Country Coins. Mao Xiaoguang holds about 35% of the shares, so that's nearly 200 million Northern Federation Coins. However, if you only offer him 200 million Northern Federation Coins, he definitely won't sell." Li Siqi said.
Ye Xiao laughed right away and said, "200 million Northern Federation Coins, that's not a lot, much less than I expected."
"Ah?" Li Siqi widened her eyes at Ye Xiao and said, "You must be joking. North of a billion Northern Federation Coins, can you come up with it?"
"Hehe, I certainly can't, but someone can." Ye Xiao said playfully.
Li Siqi immediately said, "I definitely can't. My family has never supported my car racing, let alone fork out billions of Northern Federation Coins. Besides, if you really want to buy their shares, one or two billion won't solve the problem."
Ye Xiao, upon hearing this, knew Li Siqi misunderstood. If it were about having her come up with the money, Ye Xiao wouldn't have made the trip at all. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't have you pay. If I asked you for the money, how would I be helping you? If I don't show that I'm helping you, how will you be grateful to me and all the rest?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Siqi immediately glared at Ye Xiao and said, "So you've got something else in mind."
"If I say I didn't have other intentions, would you believe it?" Ye Xiao asked.
Li Siqi said, "I don't believe it!"
"Isn't that just it?" Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "Even if I say I didn't have other intentions, you wouldn't believe it, so I'll just be honest."
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't be so nice to help me." Li Siqi said, "But still, fair is fair, and I am a very fair person."
"Haha, alright, alright, so let's look for a sucker." Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Li Siqi asked, looking more curiously at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao laughed aloud and said, "If we don't find a sucker, who's going to fork out the money?"
After hearing this, Li Siqi was even more perplexed.
At this time, Ye Xiao maneuvered the Porsche onto the highway with one hand and then pulled out his phone to find a number and dialed it.
Before long, the call connected.
"Brother Xiao!" A male voice came from the phone.
Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Hope I'm not interrupting your meal."
"No, no, Brother Xiao, have you eaten? If not, let me treat you." The person on the other end was Fu Donglai. Fu Donglai, under Zhang Quan's guidance, had come to understand the situation well. He knew he could only truly rise by steadfastly relying on Ye Xiao; otherwise, he could be wiped out at any time.
"No need for dinner, I need your help with something." Ye Xiao smiled.
Upon hearing this, Fu Donglai quickly said, "Brother Xiao, don't say it like that. What help do you need? Just give the command, and Donglai will certainly do it well."
"Looks like I didn't misjudge you!" Ye Xiao said warmly, "I've always thought we could be very good brothers."
"Brother Xiao, I, Fu Donglai, would devote my entire being to serving you." Taking this opportunity, Fu Donglai pledged his loyalty.
Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "No need to go that far. Right now, I need some money. Of course, I'm borrowing it from you."
"Brother Xiao, you can't say it like that. What borrowing? Just tell me, how many tens of millions?" Fu Donglai, acting as though they were best buddies, implied that what was his was also Ye Xiao's.
"Haha, many tens of millions won't be enough!" Ye Xiao said.
Fu Donglai was genuinely startled by this and immediately told Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, then you better tell me how much."
"How much I'm not sure yet, at the very least, I don't know right now. But it should be at least 500 million Northern Federation Coins." Ye Xiao said.
"Ah?" Fu Donglai was dumbfounded upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.
Fu Donglai originally thought Ye Xiao was asking for money but not too much. Who would've guessed that Ye Xiao would directly ask for 500 million Northern Federation Coins, an amount equivalent to over 3 billion Yan Country Coins.
Even though the Fu family was wealthy, if Ye Xiao asked for that much, the Fu family might run out soon.
