Chapter 444
As he spoke, the vice-president hurriedly took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.
But almost at the same time, the door of this room was suddenly pushed open, and then a voice came in with it.
"There's no need to call!"
Immediately afterwards, all the people in the room turned their gazes over in unison.
Once he saw the person, the vice president could not help but froze slightly, as he did not know the other party. Yet, he felt a little familiar.
Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie, on the other hand, were both stunned at this moment, because the people who pushed the door in were no other than Chu Zhengting and Chu Yuan.
"Why are you guys here? Who let you in! Get the hell out!" Ye Yunjie's face immediately turned gloomy as she scolded in a stern voice.
However, the Chu family's father and son did not take this lightly, instead they smiled, skipped past Ye Yunjie and walked up to the negotiator. Smiling, they patted the other party's shoulder and said, "There is no need to rush off first, sit down first."
Having said that, the Chu family father and son did not wait for the others to react. Instead, they sat themselves down on the chairs in front of them.
For the sudden appearance of these two people, it really surprised Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie.
Especially Jiang Hao, he could remember that the Chu family had been kicked out of the City South project by himself before, and that the Chu family's company had also encountered great difficulties and was almost certain to be bankrupt.
But what was going on here? After not seeing each other for a few days, not only did these two fathers and sons of the Chu family not seem to be doing well, but on the contrary, they were all looking at themselves with a bit of smugness in their gaze.
"Sister Ye, tell Qiao San to hand over the security guards and blow them out for me!" Jiang Hao said coldly.
Ye Yunjie gave a hint and was then about to pull out her mobile phone to make a call.
But just then, Chu Yuan waved his hand at Jiang Hao and said with a smile, "Don't, don't, what's with the hasty nature? I know you don't want to see us as father and son, but even if you want to kick us out, you have to wait for us to finish our words, right? Otherwise, don't you want to talk about cooperation?"
Talking about cooperation? What is there to talk about with you?
Jiang Hao laughed coldly and flatly retorted, "Your Chu family has now been blacklisted by the City South Project, what kind of cooperation do I have to talk to you about? You are not welcome here. Leave now, or don't blame me for being ungracious!"
Jiang Hao was not the slightest bit polite in giving the expulsion order. On the contrary, the Chu family's father and son still didn't hear the time and were sitting peacefully in their chairs.
"Haha, don't be so grumpy, I've said it all, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation today!" Chu Yuan said with a smile.
"Cooperation? Oh, do you think you are worthy? I already have a company to work with here, so please don't make a fool of yourself here!" Ye Yunjie said flatly, "When your Chu family was kicked out of the City South project, then you were destined to have nothing to do with the City South project for the rest of your lives, are you here to fight for it, or are you making a fool of yourself?"
"Make a fool of yourself?" Chu Zhengting, who had been smiling sullenly and silent at the side, finally spoke up, but his tone lacked a hint of disdain, "You have a partner company now? Oh, as far as I know, it seems that your cooperation is not going well, right?"
Obviously, the appearance of the Chu family's father and son must have been with some purpose in mind. And the appearance of the two of them also caused Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie to feel a tinge of unease.
And what Jiang Hao felt curious about was how did they know that the negotiations weren't going well? It was hard not to ......
"What exactly do you mean? And what is the purpose of your coming here?" Ye Yunjie suddenly questioned coldly, "I don't like beating around the bush, just say what you have to say!"
Chu Zhengting laughed and clapped his hands, having long since lost the pitiful energy of his previous kneeling before Jiang Hao in bitter pleading.
He said, "Painful, I like painful, then, I will say it straight, we are here today, indeed to talk about cooperation, our condition is, in the future, after the completion of the south of the city project, our Chu family should take fifty percent of the shares!"
"And ......" Before Chu Zhengting could finish his words, Ye Yunjie snorted disdainfully, obviously she was amused and disgusted by Chu Zhengting's words. She felt amused and also disgusted.
Indeed, after the completion of the south of the city project, Jiang Hao's side would set up a property company. By then, this company, with the City South project, would also leap to become the largest company in Chu Jiang, with a market value that could exceed ten billion.
And according to Chu Zhengting's words, he hasn't even said what he can do, and he just comes up and wants to take half of his ten billion dollars in assets? Is this man crazy, or has he gone out without his medication?
"Please go to the hospital if you are sick. Don't talk crazy here!" Ye Yunjie snorted and laughed, "Are you really not afraid that people will laugh at you? Giving you half of the shares? On what basis? Oh, on the basis of you kneeling down in front of Jiang Shao and begging for mercy in the first place?"
This was a sad matter in Chu Zhengting's eyes, and he even thought that no one would ever mention this matter for the rest of his life.
But it happened that Ye Yunjie got up and kicked it out again, what an abomination!
Originally Chu Zhengting was still full of smiles, but turned gloomy.
He coldly snorted, ''Humph, on what basis? Just on the basis that without my Chu family, your City South project wouldn't have been able to go ahead at all!"
Chu Zhengting slapped the table violently. It seemed like he was venting all his anger and dissatisfaction from before.
But even with what he said, his words, in Ye Yunjie's and Jiang Hao's hearts, were still just crazy words and dream words.
"Forget it Sister Ye, there's no need to continue wasting words with such a person!" Jiang Hao got up, ready to leave, and finally said to the vice president who had come to negotiate, "Mr. Chen, maybe we didn't communicate well on some issues between us, I think you should go back and communicate properly again, we'll leave first, we'll talk again another day!"
The vice president of the negotiation responded, nodded with an apologetic face, and was about to say goodbye to Jiang Hao when he heard Chu Zhengting on the other side say, "Negotiation? Oh, I don't think there's any need to negotiate anymore. Didn't I just tell you that the contract for the south of the city project is not going to be signed, and the cooperation is also terminated!"
Chu Zhengting interjected crossly, which really made that vice president a little upset.
After all, this was an important negotiation between two large companies. It was already quite rude for two of you Chu family members to waltz in.
Now to even be saying such things, are you guys sick?
The vice president of the negotiations was already complaining because of a phone call from his boss, which made the big project that was within his reach fly away. Now that another Chu Zhengting had suddenly appeared, of course he would not be polite.
If he didn't dare to say anything to Jiang Hao and his own boss, wouldn't he dare to say anything to you?
The vice president of negotiations glared at Chu Zhengting and sternly scolded him, "Please shut your mouth. What does this have to do with you? Who are you? Humph, a bunch of lunatics, lawless!"
This vice president's words did not leave any half-heartedness for Chu Zhengting, and his words seemed to carry a knife as he blasted Chu Zhengting!
This made Chu Zhengting crossly displeased, glaring fiercely at the other party, and said furiously, "What am I? Hmph, I'll soon let you know what, exactly, I am!"
With the last words, Chu Zhengting spoke with a single word, gnashing his teeth.
And at that moment, Chu Yuan, who was at the side, also said with displeasure, "Dad, what are you talking to this kind of person? Just fire him, damn it, what kind of person do you really think you are? How dare you speak to us in such a tone!"
Fired?
Chu Yuan's words could not help but cause the few people present to faintly freeze for a moment.
In the end, it was the vice president who looked at Chu Yuan with a cold smile on his face and scornfully said, "Firing me? Oh, are you serious? May I ask, what are you?"
In the other party's view, Chu Yuan's words were pure madness, this father and son were simply two madmen, who did they take themselves to be?
But Chu Yuan gave a conspiratorial laugh, and while pulling out an object from his pocket, he said, "I will soon let you know, who I am!"
Chapter 445
Soon, Chu Yuan pulled out a document-like thing from his pocket, slapped it violently on the table, and said to that vice president of negotiation in a condescending manner, "I announce that from now on, you are fired!"
"And, who do you think you are? The boss of our company? What a laugh!"
Originally thinking that Chu Yuan was still talking crazy this time, that vice president of negotiations first gave a cold laugh. Then his gaze couldn't help but look curiously at the document that Chu Yuan had slapped on the table, and immediately his entire face stiffened in expression.
"How is this ...... possible?" This Vice President of Negotiations looked at the document on the table with a horrified face, suddenly becoming incomparably nervous as he hurriedly went forward and grabbed the document and looked at it once.
Just this look, the look of shock on his face not only did not diminish by half, but his face became more and more iron blue, his expression seemed to be like he had seen something horrible, and endless fear seeped out from his pupils.
It was at this moment. Chu Yuan couldn't help but smile and proudly said to that vice president, "How about it, do you know who I am now? Hmph, I'm your father. It's someone you can't afford to mess with!"
As he finished speaking, Chu Yuan snatched the document back from the other party's hand and respectfully placed it on the conference table in front of him, then sneered and said to Jiang Hao, "Come on, let's continue the negotiation, now this negotiation has nothing to do with this person!"
Chu Yuan's words really caused Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie to freeze, both of them looked at each other, revealing a look of seeming understanding.
What was going on? What had happened? What exactly was the thing that this Vice President had just seen? Why did his entire face change after he looked at that thing?
"Mr. Chen? What's going on? What's going on?" Ye Yunjie suddenly called out in a low voice to that Vice President of Negotiations, with a curious look on her face.
That vice president of negotiation had a lost look on his face and couldn't help but sigh heavily, looked at Ye Yunjie and sighed, "Miss Ye, I'm sorry, I ...... have been fired, so I may not really be able to negotiate with you anymore. There is nothing more I can do, hey ......"
After saying the words, that vice president could not help but shake his head, turned around and walked out of the room.
It was only his words that made Ye Yunjie, who was puzzled and confused, feel at a loss.
How could that Chu Yuan really fire this person with just one word?
This person is the vice president of the company ah, at least the group boss, or the chairman of the board can fire him to be effective, right?
How can Chu Yuan's words ......
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Ye Yunjie jerked her head and looked at the document on the conference table, and was suddenly surprised.
"Could it be that ......" Ye Yunjie wanted to say something but couldn't help but grit her teeth, thinking that it couldn't really be like that, right?
"That's not right, their Chu family is already heavily in debt, how could ...... it be," Ye Yunjie muttered in a small voice on the side, her face seemed to have a somewhat nervous expression.
While Jiang Hao on the side still felt cloudy and seemed to understand.
"Sister Ye, what's wrong? Do you know something?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.
Ye Yunjie couldn't help but shake her head. Sighing, she said, "Young Jiang, things seem to have become tricky, ah, I suspect that this Chu family, has acquired that engineering equipment company!"
"What?" Jiang Hao was also stunned at the sound of his words and said incomparably shocked, "How is this possible? Didn't you already use your connections to put the Chu family on the verge of bankruptcy before? Their capital chain is all broken, and the banks and debtors are all looking for them, so how could they possibly go back to acquire that company? And ......"
Jiang Hao's eyebrows rose immediately, as if he really couldn't think of which part of the problem had arisen.
Jiang Hao then asked, "And isn't that company a third bigger than the Chu family's company, both in terms of valuation and company size? If the Chu family wanted to swallow such a company, they would at the very least have to have several hundred million in cash to pay for it, but ...... no, it's impossible ......"
Ye Yunjie narrowed her eyes. Deeply looking at Chu Yuan and Chu Zhengting, of course she knew that this was all unlikely, but was there a second, more reasonable explanation?
"You guys acquired them, didn't you?" Suddenly. Ye Yunjie asked this out directly, and without the slightest hesitation, as if she had already concluded this matter.
And Jiang Hao also hurriedly looked at Chu Yuan and Chu Zhengting with an incomparably serious expression.
Chu Zhengting and Chu Yuan looked at each other and smiled, suddenly clapping their hands and laughing, "Sure enough, Miss Ye is really smart, she guessed what was going on at once. Haha ......"
Chu Zhengting directly admitted this matter, but Ye Yunjie was not the least bit happy in her heart.
This was a f*cking nightmare!
Ye Yunjie sniffed and looked at Jiang Hao, only to find that Jiang Hao was also looking at her.
In fact, both of them knew very well in their hearts that it was time for them not to laugh out loud.
Because within the province, apart from the Chu family's company, there was only this one engineering equipment company that could be used for the City South project. Other companies were either not qualified enough or too small to undertake many projects.
Originally, both Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie felt that this company was already a sure thing for them.
However, they did not expect this change to come so suddenly, and the seriousness of the matter was far more frightening than they had imagined.
Obviously, after the Chu family had acquired this company, there would be no more suitable engineering equipment companies to choose from in the whole huge area for the south of the city project.
And if they went from other, more distant places, then the cost would increase a lot, and large engineering equipment, whether transported or dispatched, would take too much time.
And even if you can negotiate a company from outside the province, then the time spent in the middle of the negotiation and tug of war. Add to that the time it takes to transport the equipment, and months may pass.
For a project like this, the cost could be in the millions a day.
The months of delay alone could be a huge expense. It would already be a huge amount of money.
Obviously, the Chu family had acquired this company, and what a subtle move this move was, surprisingly one step had strangled Jiang Hao's throat. It made him unable to move.
No wonder this father and son had looked smug from the moment they entered, it turned out that they had planned all this.
It was at this moment. Chu Yuan spoke again, the expression on his face growing more and more pompous and open, and even crossed his feet directly on the conference table.
"How about it, have you thought it through now? Can we continue our negotiations?"
Ye Yunjie glanced at Jiang Hao, her brows locked in a frown.
At a time like this, she could only let Jiang Hao make up his own mind, because the situation was already obvious: either talk to the Chu family about cooperation, or reject the other side.
And to talk to the Chu family, almost without even thinking, before Jiang Hao had humiliated the Chu Jiang people's words and actions, the Chu family father and son will not hesitate to give him back, and is bound to be several times dozens of times back.
But if they don't, the consequences are obvious: the project is temporarily on hold and they will be looking for qualified engineering equipment companies from nearby areas like a needle in a haystack.
But it's easy to find them, but it's a different matter whether or not they can immediately enter into a partnership.
If the other party knows about their current predicament, they will use it as a bargaining chip to deliberately raise the price and cut the price at the negotiating table.
If you have no choice, you will have to resign yourself to your fate.
Anyway, at this moment, it seems that Ye Yunjie has already seen the gloomy and bumpy future of this south of the city project.
She looked at Jiang Hao with a gloomy expression and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Shao, what do you think we should do?"
Chapter 446
Jiang Hao of course also understood that even if Ye Yunjie didn't tell him the pros and cons of this kind of thing, he would still know a lot about it.
The other party had taken advantage of his own seven inches to come here!
Jiang Hao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, looked up at Ye Yunjie, and then looked at Chu Yuan, before speaking: "Talk ...... about how you intend to talk?"
Jiang Hao knew that in this kind of occasion where people held the initiative, with Chu Yuan's character. He would not let himself go.
But Jiang Hao understood that he had no choice.
When things came to a head, it was a choice of possibly being humiliated and having the price deliberately raised, and going for the Chu family with a stiff upper lip.
Or do you choose to categorically rebuff the Chu family, allowing yourself to retain a sense of pride, and then go searching for the next engineering equipment company like a needle in a haystack, again with the uncertainty ......
Between the two, Jiang Hao seemed to have little choice but to stiffen his head and go for the Chu family.
Even if the other side would humiliate them a hundred times more than they themselves would. Returning the humiliation he had given them earlier, that couldn't be helped.
After all, no matter what, as long as the Chu family could be dealt with with difficulty, the construction of the south of the city project could continue, and there would be no need to risk great uncertainty for himself. It was time to look for another bit of company.
Jiang Hao glanced at Ye Yunjie, who sighed silently; it was clear that she also understood Jiang Hao's plight, but there was nothing she could do about it all the same.
This was fate, and sadly, one's own fate was, at this moment, in the hands of others.
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Chu Yuan smiled and said back, "I just said ah, you give me half of the shares of the south of the city project, and we'll count it as a deal, now our family is the biggest engineering equipment company in the province, and even the whole region, if you promise me, then I guarantee that I will do a good job with this south of the city project!"
Shameless! Jiang Hao had some anger in his heart and directly coldly returned, "You are dreaming, wake up, I am serious about business!"
The sudden burst of hostility from Jiang Hao really surprised Chu Yuan a little.
He did not expect that, having reached such a point, Jiang Hao would still dare to treat himself with such an attitude, without a hint of submission.
You're still not convinced, are you? Then I think you're not going to shed a tear until you see the coffin. Just wait and see.
Chu Yuan suddenly laughed, looked at his father and sneered, "Haha, of course I was joking just now, I know that you can't possibly agree to that kind of condition, then fine, let's talk about the condition properly."
The truth is, I also know that business is all about harmony and wealth, I actually don't want to make our relationship too stiff, after all, you are in it for the money, I am also in it for the money, only when we all use our strength together can we cooperate and win together, right?"
Chu Yuan's words were very nice, but immediately afterwards he turned his words around, and in his words, he changed his flavour abruptly.
"Oh, but you also know, before because of your decision, our Chu Jiang almost stepped into the abyss of doom, at that time my father even kneeled down and begged you for forgiveness!" As he spoke, Chu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of hatred as he looked at Jiang Hao and continued." That's dignity, as a man, is there anything that is more important than dignity? Money is certainly important, but compared to dignity, it's worthless!"
"After all these words, say it. What do you really want?" Jiang Hao said in a seemingly calm manner.
But at this moment, how could Jiang Hao be calm? In his heart, the waves had long been shocking.
He had been set upon by the Chu family, and to be able to talk calmly with the other party here was already something he had forced himself to do to suppress his anger.
He was even more aware that Chu Yuan had said so much, but most importantly, it hadn't even started yet.
Chu Yuan snorted and laughed at his words, "Painful, really painful, then, I'll be straightforward, now you have no choice but to talk to our Chu family about cooperation, and you can rest assured, I'm a person who won't take advantage of the fire. The cooperation scheme, and the terms of the contract, will still be as discussed before, I won't be more that one payment, and I won't ask for one more penny from you!"
"Heh. You would be so kind?" Jiang Hao sneered, his heart simply not believing Chu Yuan's bullshit for the hundredth time.
Chu Yuan gave Jiang Hao a blank look and said, "Believe it or not, my words are here anyway. Of course, I am not without conditions."
"I knew that was the case." Jiang Hao said indifferently, "I've been waiting for a long time, come on and say your conditions!"
Chu Yuan nodded, lit a cigarette to himself, stood up from his chair and looked at Jiang Hao, "I just said it. You made our Chu family lose all their dignity before, so what I want is simple, that is for you to return it to me! As for how to give it back ......"
Chu Yuan smiled wickedly, a hint of cunning flashed at the corner of his eyes, pointed at his feet and said, "Before my father knelt down to you and begged you, I now, also want you to kneel down to me and beg me!"
With the last words, Chu Yuan spoke with a powerful voice. It was full of anger.
When Jiang Hao had driven their Chu family out of the south of the city project and put the Chu family on the verge of bankruptcy, he had vowed that one day, he would make Jiang Hao return what he had lost with interest.
He would make Jiang Hao kneel at his feet and beg for mercy!
And Chu Yuan still felt at that time that this ideal of his seemed too far away.
For at that time, the Chu family was almost collapsing, and Jiang Hao was rising to great heights.
But what he hadn't expected was that the world was sometimes really just so wonderful, that what he had decided he would never seem to be able to do in his lifetime, just today, just now, he was on the verge of doing it, already infinitely closer to his goal and ideal!
And Chu Yuan knew very well that now Jiang Hao had no choice at all.
"You are unbridled!"
Before Jiang Hao could say anything, Ye Yunjie suddenly broke out and cursed at Chu Yuan.
Ye Yunjie's fists were clenched tightly, as if she had reached the brink of shocking anger.
"Making Jiang Shao kneel down for you? Are you impatient to live?" Ye Yunjie then angrily rebuked, "What are you? If you dare to seek death again. Then I can consider whether or not I should fulfill you!"
As she spoke, Ye Yunjie took a step forward, ready to strike, as if she was ready to finish the other party off.
Making Jiang Hao kneel down? To Ye Yunjie, this was even more unacceptable than making himself kneel down.
Jiang Hao was Shen Haoting's son. It was the bloodline of the Shen family that flowed through his veins, how honourable was it, how could it be tarnished by a pest like you?
And now, the road seemed to have been blocked by the other side, and they were still being aggressive. A trace of killing intent really rose in Ye Yunjie's heart.
And with her status, even if she were to end the Chu family's father and son here, she would be able to set things right later.
Only when Ye Yunjie was already pondering how to do it, Jiang Hao suddenly spoke up.
"Sister Ye." Jiang Hao waved his hand, gesturing for Ye Yunjie to back off.
"Young Jiang. These two people need to be taught a lesson, I think you'd better ......"
"No, Sister Ye, we're here to talk business, not to fight and brawl, you should back off first, I have two words to say."
Ye Yunjie was a little reluctant, but still retreated behind Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao still didn't have much expression on his face, he just looked at Chu Yuan indifferently and hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Are you serious about what you said? If I kneel down and apologise to you, your Chu family can resume work again?"
When Chu Yuan heard this, he was simply overjoyed, because since Jiang Hao had even said such words, it was obvious that he was ready to give in to himself!
"Of course, I'll do what I say!" Chu Yuan said with a bristling mouth.
