"Great idea, why didn''t I think of that?" Tao Yongchang''s eyes lit up.
Indeed, if Yang Xin Investment were to acquire Shengda Literature, even if Han Mengting''s reach were long, she wouldn''t be able to interfere with Shengda Literature''s affairs.
The trouble caused by his son would be resolved just like that.
"Dad, you see how brilliant I am,ing up with such a good idea all at once," Tao Yingjun couldn''t help but brag.
"Brilliant my ass, if it weren''t for you, would I even need to do all this?" Tao Yongchang couldn''t help but curse.
"Dad, anyway, what''s done is done, and I''ve thought of a solution, so stop being angry, okay?" Tao Yingjun felt incredibly relieved.
What does it matter if Zhao Yulu and Han Mengting are close? As long as Penguin Investment doesn''t acquire Shengda Literature, there will be no issue.
However, he also felt a bit of regret.
With Zhao Yulu and Han Mengting being so close, his dream of sleeping with Zhao Yulu now seemed impossible to achieve.
"The matter of Yang Xin Investment has been held up by Huang Chi''s instructions, and you know my rtionship with Huang Chi. If I report to President Qiu secretly, it will anger Huang Chi."
Tao Yongchang began to hesitate again.
Huang Chi is thergest shareholder of Shengda Literature.
He was able to attain the position of vice president thanks to Huang Chi''s help.
If he privately reported Yang Xin Investment''s intention to acquire Shengda Literature to Qiu Wenyu, it would definitely anger Huang Chi.
Angering Huang Chi, thergest shareholder, was not a good thing; he might even lose his position as vice president.
"So what if it angers him," Tao Yingjun said indifferently, "Dad, Huang Chi is nning to cash out and leave, he won''t be a shareholder of Shengda Literature in the future. He will no longer be of use to us, nor will he have any power over us."
"But if Penguin acquires Shengda Literature, and Han Mengting bes the president of Shengda Literature, I will definitely be forced to leave thepany, and you''ll likely be implicated. Then we''d be finished."
"If you report this matter to President Qiu, he will definitely be grateful to you, since it''s advantageous for him. The twopaniespeting will surely drive up the acquisition price."
"If we facilitate Yang Xin Investment''s acquisition of Shengda Literature, we would also be doing Yang Xin a favor, and they will remember our good deed. Our positions in thepany will be even more secure in the future."
"That''s why this is a good move, it will be beneficial for us if done right, and besides, we have no other way out."
It had to be said, Tao Yingjun''s analysis made a lot of sense.
Tao Yongchang fell silent.
If it wasn''t for his son''s issue, it wouldn''t matter to him who acquired Shengda Literature.
He didn''t want to get involved in the matter.
But with his son''s mess, it was a different story.
For the future of both father and son, they had to do it.
With this thought, Tao Yongchang immediately said, "All right, let''s do as you said!"
Tao Yingjun gave a thumbs up, "Dad, you''ve made a wise decision!"
Seeing his son like this, Tao Yongchang was so infuriated he couldn''t help but curse, "You little rascal, if it weren''t for you, why would I bother with this headache? If you don''t start behaving, you''ll be the death of me one day!"
"Dad, don''t worry, I''ll definitely be more cautious in the future. I won''t mess around after this lesson," Tao Yingjun said with his lips, but in his heart, he didn''t think so.
Giving up the yboy lifestyle was out of the question; at most, he''d just be more careful in the future.
And as for a situation like with Zhao Yulu, that was definitely an anomaly.
He wouldn''t be so unlucky as to meet another Zhao Yulu.
"Hmph, you''d better remember what you said!" Tao Yongchang huffed, then his brow furrowed again, "Even if I report to President Qiu about Yang Xin Investment wanting to acquire ourpany, the chances of Yang Xin Investment sessfully acquiring thepany are still slim, as Penguin is too powerful an opponent."
"Xu Yang, the owner of Yang Xin Investment, became a billionaire in less than a year, and although he''s formidable, his foundation is clearlycking. Compared to Penguin, the gap is huge."
"The likelihood of Yang Xin Investment defeating Penguin to acquire Shengda Literature is slim."
"If the acquisition fails, our situation as father and son will still be grim,"
Hearing his father''s words, Tao Yingjun felt his previously light mood be heavy again.
Indeed.
Yang Xin Investment''s involvement in thepetition was merely thatpetition.
The capabilities of Yang Xin Investment,pared with Penguin Investment, were far too inferior.
Moreover, ording to what his father had said, Penguin Investment was determined to acquire Shengda Literature.
Tao Yingjun could only respond, "Dad, no matter what, at this point, we can only do our best."
Tao Yongchang naturally understood this reasoning too, nodded his head, then immediately scoffed, "If this doesn''t work out, see how I''ll deal with you!"
Tao Yingjun said, "Dad, as long as you give it your best effort, I''m confident you can seed."
He himselfcked confidence as he said this.
"You may go. I need to call Yang Xin Investment first andter meet with President Qiu."
Tao Yingjun didn''t want to speak further with his son, waved his hand, and dismissed him.
After Tao Yingjun had left, Tao Yongchang didn''t immediately make the call, but first leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and pondered deeply.
He meticulously nned what he had to do next.
A few minutester, he opened his eyes, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number of Ma Yangrong, the general manager of Yang Xin Investment.
The call connected quickly.
Tao Yongchang immediately said, "Hello, Manager Ma, this is Tao Yongchang, the Deputy General of Shengda Literature. You''ve contacted me before."
Ma Yangrong responded, "Hello, Manager Tao, hello! Are you arranging for us to negotiate the acquisition of yourpany?"
Tao Yongchang said, "Yes, President Qiu just told me to inform you toe over tomorrow afternoon at two o''clock for negotiations."
Today was toote; it had to be tomorrow.
Penguin Investment woulde in the afternoon three days from now, and Yang Xin Investment was scheduled toe at two o''clock.
Only by having both parties meet face-to-face would there be effective results.
Ma Yangrong said, "Alright, thank you. We''ll be there on time. I must immediately inform President Xu; he will be very pleased to hear this."
He knew that Xu Yang ced great importance on the acquisition of Shengda Literature.
Tao Yongchang said, "Manager Ma, there''s something else I need to tell you."
Ma Yangrong asked, "What is it, Manager Tao?"
Tao Yongchang said, "During the negotiations, you need to pay special attention to one person."
Ma Yangrong sensed the gravity of the situation and asked seriously, "Who should we be cautious of? Please inform me, Manager Tao. If things work out, we will certainly not forget your help."
"Beware of a man named Huang Chi," Tao Yongchang said. "He is thergest shareholder of Shengda Literature and does not want Yang Xin Investment to acquire Shengda Literature. The reason I haven''t replied to you is because he instructed me not to. Penguin has already been in talks with them for two days."
"What? Are you saying Penguin Investment also wants to acquire Shengda Literature and that negotiations have been going on for two days?!" Ma Yangrong was shocked.
This matter was too serious.
If Penguin acquired Shengda Literature, President Xu would undoubtedly be disappointed in him.
Then, Ma Yangrong realized a problem: If Huang Chi had told Tao Yongchang not to reply to him, why was he replying now and even sharing this insider information, advising him to be wary of Huang Chi?
He immediately voiced this question.
Tao Yongchang simply said, "Manager Ma, I can''t go into details, but just remember, I am in support of Yang Xin Investment acquiring Shengda Literature."
Ma Yangrong said, "Okay, thank you. I need to report this matter to President Xu Yang immediately."
