Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Not a Good Thing _1

""That’s about right," said Shen Dong.

At his words, Shao Yangrong finally stopped.

"You son of a bitch, you actually hit me; you’re finished, all of you are finished. I swear, I’ll never let this slide!" Qian Haoxuan roared angrily.

"What’s your backup? The assets of your family’s company worth sixty billion?" Shen Dong glared at Qian Haoxuan, and asked coldly.

"So what if it is?" Qian Haoxuan retorted arrogantly.

"Very well," Shen Dong nodded, then turned to Zhou Chengyu and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how long does it take to make a company with a market value of sixty billion go bankrupt?"

Zhou Chengyu immediately understood; Shen Dong wanted to destroy Qian Haoxuan’s source of reliance, to drive him to despair.

It was the best form of retaliation.

Zhou Chengyu thought for a moment and replied, "It depends on how many resources you’re willing to mobilize."

"All my resources," Shen Dong stated.

Zhou Chengyu laughed and said, "Shen Dong, you don’t need to go through all that trouble. Just Mr. Wang, Mr. Wan, and I, could make the other side’s company go bankrupt overnight. Not really bankrupt since it requires a process, but cut off all the company’s channels, terminate all cooperations, and have banks recall loans. Then, the company is just one step away from closing door—merely the process is left."

Shen Dong nodded and instructed, "Let’s do that then. I want his family’s company to go bankrupt and him to end up with nothing. Once it’s done, I’ll give each of you three percent of the shares in Shuidilao."

Three percent each for three people makes up nine percent in total.

Currently, the shareholders of Shuidilao only include Shen Dong, Zhou Chengyu, Wan Pengfei, and Li Kaiyao.

Giving away nine percent, Shen Dong would still hold absolute control and it wouldn’t affect much.

The current valuation of Shuidilao is around ten billion, so three percent would be worth roughly three hundred million.

Though it’s only three hundred million, everyone knows that Shuidilao is definitely going to grow into a titan of the catering industry.

Based on Shuidilao’s current pace of development, analysts predict that its market value could reach a hundred billion in the coming years.

By then, this three percent stake would increase tenfold, worth about three billion.

Zhou Chengyu hastily said, "Shen Dong, how can we do that? It’s always been you leading us to make money. We’re just giving you a small hand; how can we take your money?"

Wan Pengfei followed, "Yeah, Shen Dong, you’ve always been the one leading us to make money, investing in so many projects. We’re just helping out; we can’t take shares."

What the two said was the truth.

It had always been Shen Dong who led them to make money, and they had constantly been looking for opportunities to repay Shen Dong.

Last time, when Zhou Chengyu talked about investing in the field of artificial intelligence, he intended to join Shen Dong in making a profit.

Unfortunately, that so-called "number one company in the world" was selling pseudo artificial intelligence.

Later, it was still Shen Dong who found a genuinely good company and led them to make a profitable investment.

Shen Dong shook his head and said, "You still need to take this. This matter is somewhat difficult, and you will have to expend certain resources. If you’re unwilling to accept it, I would rather find someone else to take on this task."

This matter was indeed quite challenging. Zhou Chengyu and the other two were bound to incur some losses in taking on this task.

Three percent of the shares each could be considered compensation for their losses.

He really didn’t want to owe such a big favor.

Zhou Chengyu and Wan Pengfei looked at each other, then helplessly said, "Alright, we’ll do as you say."

If they didn’t agree, Shen Dong would just find someone else. They had no choice but to agree.

Li Kaiyao was a super internet celebrity who couldn’t help much in this aspect and could only watch with regret.

He didn’t envy Zhou Chengyu and the others though.

One should only take on as much as their abilities allow.

Without that capability, envy is futile.

Zhou Chengyu and the others had that kind of power only because of their parents’ connections.

Li Kaiyao was not envious.

After all, they were good brothers. As long as he could help Shen Dong deal with Qian Haoxuan, that was enough.

"Hahaha!" Qian Haoxuan burst out laughing, "You still want to bankrupt my family’s company? Do you have the ability to do that?"

Since everyone called Zhou Chengyu either Mr. Zhou or Mr. Zhou, he didn’t know who Zhou Chengyu was.

Nor did he know who Mr. Wang mentioned by Zhou Chengyu was?

If he had known, he definitely wouldn’t be able to laugh.

Shen Dong said coldly, "You’ll know soon enough."

Zhou Chengyu took out his phone and said, "I’m going to make a video call to Mr. Wang. Let’s have a video conference to discuss how to do it."

Shen Dong nodded, "That works."

Zhou Chengyu immediately made the video call.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaocong’s big face appeared on the screen.

"Mr. Zhou, what’s up? Holy shit, Shen Dong and Mr. Wan are there too, and that guy wearing a mask must be Li Kaiyao, right? I was just watching your live stream, and you suddenly went offline. I thought you went on a date with some girl, but it turns out you came out to hang with Shen Dong and the others. Where are you guys? It seems quite crowded and lively there."

No sooner had Wang Xiaocong’s face appeared than he rattled off a long string of words.

Hearing this voice, Qian Haoxuan shuddered.

That voice, it sounded like Wang Xiaocong’s.

Could it be that the call was to Wang Xiaocong?

Who is this guy?

Suddenly, he remembered people calling Zhou Chengyu either Mr. Zhou or Mr. Zhou.

Holy shit, could this guy be that Hai City’s top second-generation rich kid, Zhou Chengyu?

And who was this Mr. Wan?

Although he didn’t know, anyone who could unite with Zhou Chengyu and Wang Xiaocong to do something must be on the same level as them.

Zhou Chengyu, Wang Xiaocong, and this unknown person put together could definitely bankrupt his family’s company.

At that thought, Qian Haoxuan could not control the slight trembling of his body.

"Mr. Wang, Shen Dong needs your help with something," Zhou Chengyu said.

"We’re all buddies here. Just say what you need help with, and if I can do it, I won’t hesitate," Wang Xiaocong declared generously.

"There’s this rich second-generation guy from Jing City..." Zhou Chengyu briefly explained the situation, then added, "Shen Dong wants his family’s company to go bankrupt. He’s offering us each a three percent share in Shuidilao. We originally didn’t want it, but Shen Dong insisted on giving it to us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let us help."

Wang Xiaocong said, "Shen Dong is being too polite. After leading us in making so much money, we are just giving him a little help, and he’s offering us shares. We must get this done beautifully and quickly. Just tell me, what’s the guy’s name and what’s the name of his family’s company?"

Zhou Chengyu looked at Xue Yuanliang, as well as Bao Qisheng and Lu Leshan.

Xue Yuanliang didn’t know, but Bao Qisheng and Lu Leshan did. Bao Qisheng quickly said, "His name is Qian Haoxuan, and his family’s company is called Xingchang Group."

Wang Xiaocong couldn’t help exclaiming, "Holy shit, it’s that guy. No wonder. He’s no good!"

Zhou Chengyu asked, "Mr. Wang, by the sound of it, you seem quite familiar with this guy?"

"Not familiar," said Wang Xiaocong. "It’s just that this guy has a reputation as the nightclub prince in Jing City among the lesser rich second-generation. He’s quite well-known, but he has no class, sometimes forcing women to have relations with him, and he always settles it with money. I utterly despise such a person. His family’s company is a partner of our Qianda Group, and Qianda Group is a major client of Xingchang Group. It’s going to be too easy to deal with Xingchang Group, especially with you and Mr. Wan acting together. We could make that guy’s dad feel desperate in less than half an hour, and of course, that guy will be desperate too!"

Zhou Chengyu laughed, "Then let’s do it. Let’s get this done sooner rather than later, the faster the better."

Wang Xiaocong said, "Yeah, you, Mr. Wan, and Shen Dong, the three of you find a private place. Let’s discuss some things that shouldn’t be known to others."

Upon hearing that, Shen Dong, Zhou Chengyu, and Wan Pengfei walked over to a corner.

The few of them murmured and discussed for a while.

Afterward, the video call was hung up.
