Ye Xiao said at this point, with a slight smile, looking at the lavishly decorated living room, "Just like this house, freshly renovated, it's indeed very beautiful, but what about ten years from now? It will probably be outdated, so if conditions permit, it will be renovated again after ten years. The racetrack is the same; within thirty years, it is impossible for it not to deteriorate at all, and impossible for the model to remain unchanged, so the costs incurred during this period could be quite significant. Therefore, I believe that by the time thirty years have passed, the funds you've accumulated will definitely not exceed 2.5 billion Yan Country Coins. I wonder if Mr. Mao has any objections to what I said?"
Mao Xiaoguang wasn't sure what Ye Xiao meant by this, but Ye Xiao's words were indeed quite reasonable.
"You are right, and also, the dividends I receive each year don't reach 20 million, and the company can't use all its profits for dividends!" Mao Xiaoguang said, "So, within thirty years, it probably won't reach 2.5 billion."
"Now I am offering you 3 billion Yan Country Coins to buy the shares you hold, and you will still be the person in charge of Liangju Bay, with your word being final at Liangju Bay, and additionally receiving support from the Fu family and the Li family," Ye Xiao said with a smile, "You can think about it. You should know that even though you might get around 2 billion, that's just an expectation. Whether it can actually be reached, or whether Liangju Bay might no longer exist after thirty years, these are all possibilities."
Mao Xiaoguang was very surprised to hear that Ye Xiao was actually offering 3 billion Yan Country Coins; he knew that Liangju Bay was valued at 3 billion Yan Country Coins because of long-term plans. However, for a share of over thirty percent, it was absolutely impossible to sell for a sky-high price of 3 billion, no matter how determined Mao Xiaoguang was just now; at this moment, he was truly a bit shaken.
Nonetheless, the fact that he was able to establish Liangju Bay was enough to prove that Mao Xiaoguang was no fool.
The fact that Ye Xiao was willing to offer 3 billion Yan Country Coins to buy Mao Xiaoguang's shares already indicated the impurity of Ye Xiao's intention to acquire the shares.
Mao Xiaoguang looked seriously at Ye Xiao and said, "I want to know why you want to buy these shares!"
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I don't want to say because once I tell you, you'll feel a lot of pressure."
"If you don't tell me, it would be hard for me to agree to you," Mao Xiaoguang said.
Ye Xiao said, "Alright, since you insist on knowing, I'll tell you. Actually, it's quite simple. Feng Yang is preparing to unilaterally terminate the contract with Weihang Club."
"What?" Mao Xiaoguang looked at Ye Xiao in surprise and said, "That's impossible, he hasn't mentioned it to me at all!"
"But he has already decided, according to the contract you previously signed with Weihang Club, if you unilaterally breach the contract, you would pay ten times the penalty, which should be 900 million Yan Country Coins, right?" Ye Xiao said.
Mao Xiaoguang nodded slightly and said, "That is indeed the case."
"If I'm not mistaken, Feng Yang intends to pay this money himself, so regardless of whether you sell your shares or not, it won't affect you," Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Mao Xiaoguang immediately fell silent.
Ye Xiao was right; knowing these inside stories made him feel better off not knowing. If he didn't know, and if he was satisfied with the price Ye Xiao offered, he could have sold to Ye Xiao without a second thought. After all, the price Ye Xiao offered was truly hard for him to resist.
However, now that he knew these details, Mao Xiaoguang hesitated a bit.
Seeing Mao Xiaoguang say nothing, Ye Xiao chuckled, looked at Li Siqi, and said, "Qiqi, isn't my idea great? By telling Mr. Mao these things, he would certainly feel pressured because Feng Yang is from the Feng family. Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Li Siqi heard this and didn't speak; she just looked at Mao Xiaoguang.
Mao Xiaoguang raised his head to look at Ye Xiao, sighed, and said to Ye Xiao, "Mr. Ye, you're right, I really shouldn't have listened to what you said afterward. However, now that I've heard it, I can't agree with you, even though the price you offered is very tempting."
Ye Xiao immediately laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Mao, did I just speak? Did I say anything that could make you feel pressured? So, let's discuss the issue of acquiring your shares for 3 billion Yan Country Coins, shall we?"
"This…" Mao Xiaoguang couldn't pretend not to understand what Ye Xiao meant, but now he truly wasn't sure what to do.
Seeing Mao Xiaoguang still looked hesitant, Ye Xiao suddenly stood up.
"If Mr. Mao truly feels it's a bit difficult, then we might as well leave it at that," Ye Xiao suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Li Siqi felt a bit puzzled when she heard Ye Xiao's words.
Ye Xiao then looked at Mao Xiaoguang and said, "However, you will thus offend both Li Siqi and Fu Donglai, and Feng Yang definitely won't think you did anything for him. Alright, today's discussion can end here. Qiqi, let's go."
Li Siqi immediately stood up upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, planning to leave with Ye Xiao.
Mao Xiaoguang sat in his seat, not standing up, the expression on his face changing rapidly.
Ye Xiao and Li Siqi exchanged a glance, then directly prepared to leave.
Coincidentally, just at this moment, Mao Xiaoguang's phone rang.
Mao Xiaoguang took out his phone, glanced at the name on the screen, and saw that it was Feng Yang.
Mao Xiaoguang immediately stood up, looked at Ye Xiao and Li Siqi, and said, "Mr. Ye, Miss Li, please wait until I finish this call first."
Ye Xiao shrugged, looking indifferent, and reached out to pick up an orange from the fruit plate on the table beside him.
Mao Xiaoguang immediately answered the phone.
However, just as the call connected, Feng Yang's angry voice came through.
"Damn it, Mao Xiaoguang, are you crazy? Why did it take you so long to answer my call?"
Mao Xiaoguang, hearing Feng Yang's rant, was evidently a bit displeased. He furrowed his brow slightly but still said, "Young Master Feng, is there a reason you're calling at this time?"
"Nonsense, I'm not calling just to chat. I'm notifying you of something: starting tomorrow, Weihang Club cannot rent Liangju Bay anymore." Feng Yang said in a commanding tone.
Mao Xiaoguang said, "But Liangju Bay and Weihang Club have a thirty-year contract. Breaching it would cost nine billion in damages."
Feng Yang immediately said angrily, "Do I need to worry about that amount? I'll cover the costs. Stop arguing with me. It's decided."
"Young Master Feng, breaching the contract impacts our credibility, and Liangju Bay can't do that," Mao Xiaoguang said. "What's really going on?"
"Mao Xiaoguang, are you out of your mind?" Feng Yang cursed when Mao didn't immediately agree. "Are you questioning my decision? Don't forget, Fengtian Group is Liangju Bay's largest shareholder. With your equity, do you dare compare with me? I'm just informing you."
"But, as a shareholder, I have the right to protect Liangju Bay's interests," Mao Xiaoguang said. "Besides, if the other two shareholders find out, they probably wouldn't agree."
"Ha, you disagree? Let's see who dares to oppose me," Feng Yang said arrogantly. "I can responsibly tell you, if you dare to oppose me, I'll make you lose everything you have now."
"Young Master Feng, you're being too much. Furthermore, I'm no longer a shareholder of Liangju Bay," Mao Xiaoguang said, glancing at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao heard this, smiled warmly, and nodded slightly at Mao Xiaoguang.
Feng Yang found Mao's words strange, asking, "What do you mean? Did you sell your equity to someone else?"
"Yes!" Mao Xiaoguang said, clearly having made a decision.
Feng Yang asked, "Who did you sell it to?"
"Sorry, Young Master Feng, I can't tell you right now because the buyer offered a very high price, with the only condition being that I can't reveal their name and identity. So, please understand, Young Master Feng. We have an agreement, and if I tell you now, I'd have to pay a penalty I can't afford," Mao Xiaoguang explained.
Listening to Mao's words made Feng Yang furious. He certainly didn't anticipate this happening, but he wasn't scared. He said, "Damn it, don't let me see you again."
Feng Yang immediately ended the call.
Mao Xiaoguang slowly put away his phone and then collapsed onto the sofa; he had no way back.
"31 billion!" Ye Xiao suddenly said at this moment.
Mao Xiaoguang looked at Ye Xiao, puzzled, clearly not understanding what Ye Xiao meant.
Ye Xiao noticed Mao's confusion and chuckled, saying, "I mean, I'll give you 31 billion!"
"Wasn't it just 30 billion a moment ago?" Mao Xiaoguang asked in surprise.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Because of your courage, I'm adding another billion."
Mao Xiaoguang felt like he had misheard.
Ye Xiao smiled secretly, thinking it's not his money anyway. Not to mention adding 1 billion, he'd be willing to add 10 billion.
Seeing Mao Xiaoguang's astonishment, Ye Xiao laughed and patted Mao's shoulder, saying, "Mr. Mao, let's draft an agreement now. Of course, we'll sign the official agreement another day. As for the 31 billion, I'll have someone transfer it to your account now."
"Now?" Mao Xiaoguang asked even more amazed.
Ye Xiao said, "Didn't you just tell Feng Yang your equity has already been transferred? If we haven't signed it yet, you're deceiving Feng Yang, and I don't want you to bear the stigma of being a liar."
After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he quickly took out his phone and found Fu Donglai's number to call him directly.
Before long, the call connected.
