Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Relying on the Tao Family_1

"Mom, please don’t pressure Zi Tong any more."

At this moment, Chen Guihua stepped forward, pulled the old lady aside and whispered, "After all, she’s young and hasn’t figured out a lot of things yet. Plus, the incident with Wang Qiang has taken a heavy toll on her. She even had surgery not long ago, she needs some time..."

"Time for her—who’s giving us time?"

The old lady bit her lip in agitation, "Tomorrow, tomorrow people from Yintong Finance are coming to take our house, where will you live then? Under a bridge or in a public toilet?"

"What will you eat and drink? Will you be begging with a bowl on the overpass?"

"Do you want to live a life ridiculed by millions?"

"I..."

Chen Guihua’s face showed embarrassment and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

"I know it’s difficult to ask Zi Tong to accompany President Tao, but it’s a necessary evil."

Seeing she had made her point, the old lady’s tone began to soften, "Think about it, what is the Tao Family? They’re even more powerful than the Tang family, who lead the Four Great Families of Jiangling City!"

"If we can just hitch our wagon to the Tao’s, the Luo Family can soar to new heights, even more glorious than before!"

"And Gao Shou’s illness, we won’t have to worry anymore. With President Tao’s connections, maybe in just two or three months, he could recover."

"Aren’t you always fond of buying brand name bags, cosmetics, and jewelry? If Zi Tong becomes President Tao’s woman, do you think we’ll lack any of those?"

"And Xuan Ran, hasn’t he always wanted to buy a Faraday? President Tao, being in charge of the Tao’s Commerce Guild, could gift a Faraday to his brother-in-law with just a nod of his head."

"Right, that Borui Villa complex where Yang Meifeng lives—we could get President Tao to buy a couple of those for us to live in, alternating as we wish!"

Sure enough, that last bit of sweet talk had Chen Guihua completely flustered as she nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, okay, I’ll try."

She then turned and pulled her daughter Luo Zitong into the room.

Having dealt with her granddaughter, the old lady turned to face Tao Pinggui, who was sitting across from her, and said through gritted teeth, "President Tao, that bastard Mo Han has been far too cruel to our family."

"I don’t want to talk about the past, but about Gao Shou’s gambling debts, I always feel there’s a conspiracy! And very few people knew about it, but Mo Han just happened to know. I have a feeling it was him who got Wei Gang to do this!"

"It was this huge debt that slowly pushed the Luo Group into a corner and forced us to mortgage the group to Yintong Finance without any compensation..."

As she spoke, she briefly recounted how Gao Shou of Yintong Finance had come to collect debts from the Luo Group and forced her to hand over the group and the Luo Family Villa.

Finally, the old lady wiped away a tear and pleaded, "President Tao, you are in charge of the Tao’s Commerce Guild, could you help our Luo Family?"

"If you’re willing to help, Gao Shou wouldn’t dare to oppose you, and the Luo Group could be returned to our hands..."

"Well..."

Tao Pinggui paused, seemingly troubled, "Old lady, to be honest, although our Tao’s Commerce Guild indeed holds some weight in Liangjiang City, our main business and contacts are still in Jiangnan City."

"The companies you mentioned, Yintong, Green Shirt, and Tengniu, I know a bit about them. To have them spit out the fat they’ve swallowed is not so easy."

The old lady had anticipated Tao Pinggui’s response, and with a sly laugh, she said, "It would certainly not be easy for anyone else, but if President Tao you were to take action, then it would be as simple as turning your hand."

"Actually, apart from the East City Commercial Street, the Luo Group has seven or eight other projects, all of which are quite profitable. The problem is that we’ve run out of cash flow, and with Shengtian Group suddenly breach their contract, resulting in all the clients halting their projects."

"I have a suggestion. If you, President Tao, could invest two billion yuan in the Luo Group, I would give you thirty percent of the company shares. Then, we would give you fifty percent of all project profits. What do you think?"

The old lady had been in the business world for decades, and naturally understood that some benefits had to be given away, otherwise, no matter how good the relationships were, they couldn’t be sustained.

Moreover, the Luo Group’s situation was too complicated now. First of all, it had already been mortgaged to Gao Shou from Yintong, to get it back, she needed the video evidence in her hands and strong backing to support her.

Second, even if they got back the Luo Group, they would still face the aftermath of the seven or eight unfinished projects. If they couldn’t get these projects going, Luo Group would still be on a dead end.

Third was capital! What the Luo Group lacked most now was money; without funds, projects couldn’t start, and if workers and staff couldn’t get paid, who would want to work for the Luo’s.

Last, and most importantly, was backing!

Although Shengtian Group had withdrawn its ban, it had still terminated cooperation with the Luo Group. It was clear to anyone with eyes that Shengtian Group had abandoned the Luo’s and wanted nothing to do with them.

As the leading company in Jiangling City, Shengtian Group held absolute sway in certain aspects. Even if it didn’t speak out, the companies that followed suit would still try to fathom Shengtian Group’s intentions and unofficially blacklist the Luo Group.

For the Luo Group to rally again in Jiangling City and find stable footing, a strong background was essential!

The Tao Family was the best choice—without a rival!

Tao Pinggui’s trip to Jiangling City with the clan elder son Tao Donglai was not only to investigate the deaths of the Cao father and son but also with the intent to re-establish their presence in the city. Though the Luo Group was weakened, it had survived in Jiangling City for decades and was considered an established business.

Therefore, Tao Pinggui indeed felt tempted.

However, with years of business experience, he obviously wouldn’t agree so easily. Seated on the sofa, he furrowed his brows and took a light sip of tea, seemingly pondering and hesitating.

After a long moment, he shook his head and said, "This is a difficult matter..."
