Chapter 126: Chapter 126: It's Just a Small Amount of Money, I'll Pay It All!
Song Yun and his companions had just arrived at the Ye family home when they noticed two luxury cars parked at the entrance.
Could it be that the Ye family had visitors?
Leading Ye Qingqing by hand, Song Yun walked toward the living room, while Tu Gang and Huang Baoding, who had bonded splendidly on the way over, found themselves a spot to chat.
Upon entering the living room, Song Yun noticed Father Ye frowning and looking displeased at the two men in front of him.
Seated opposite Father Ye were Zhuang Siheng and Nangong Han, there today to stage a forced takeover, planning to buy out the Ye family completely and consolidate all assets in a short period.
"Xiao Song, you're back, take a seat," Father Ye called out to Song Yun. As for Ye Qingqing, she went upstairs to find her mother, a woman had no place in the affairs of men.
"So this is President Song, truly a man of striking appearance," said Zhuang Siheng with a compliment. "President Song, perhaps we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future. As a small token of respect for our first meeting."
With that, Zhuang Siheng took out a small box and opened it to reveal a jade thumb ring, radiating an enchanting green.
Song Yun picked it up and looked at it; the thumb ring glowed enticingly. Could this be the imperial green often mentioned in novels?
"Hello Song Yun, my name is Nangong Han, the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nangong Family from Forty-nine City," Nangong Han said, extending his hand politely. Song Yun didn't even bother to look his way, forcing Nangong Han to grind his teeth and offer a strained smile, thinking to himself that this kid's success was still reliant on the Ye family.
Once the Ye family fell into decline, he would make sure to teach him a lesson!
"Master Zhuang, this ring must be quite valuable," Song Yun marveled, "But as the saying goes, 'When a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken, no good intentions are involved,' right?"
Zhuang Siheng's face flushed with embarrassment at Song Yun's words, "President Song, how could you say such a thing? Your Mountains and Waters Corporation is undisputedly a colossus. Many people wish to curry favor with you but can't even get the chance."
"There's a meaning behind those words," Song Yun remarked.
Zhuang Siheng's offer now clearly meant to convey the message, 'No matter how powerful you are, what can you do about it?' Is he suggesting that you use the capital power behind Mountain and Waters Corporation to help your father-in-law? I fear it would be blocked by others watching the situation before even making a move.
"What brings you two to the Ye family today?"
Upon hearing Song Yun's question, Nangong Han composed himself and said calmly, "I've heard the Ye Corporation is facing some financial difficulties lately, so I have specially taken out a cash flow of 60 billion to assist the Ye family."
"Oh, and the price?"
"I want all the shares of the Ye Corporation!" Nangong Han declared ambitiously.
Song Yun observed coldly, thinking that as expected, the other party was dissatisfied with the current progress and wanted to break the Ye family directly.
But was Song Yun the kind of person short on cash? Even if the Ye family was broke, he could easily come up with tens of billions to help the Ye Corporation through the crisis, and his wife might even reward him for it afterward.
"Sorry, gentlemen, we can take care of our own family business. If my father-in-law runs out of money, I'm here to support him," Song Yun said.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Siheng burst out laughing, shaking his head and saying, "President Song, of course, we know you are wealthy, but that money can't enter the game. Even if you have tens of billions, throwing it into the mix will only hasten the Ye family's decline!"
"Moreover, because of the Ye Corporation's acquisition of IS Company, there's still a loan owed to the bank. Currently, the Ye Corporation doesn't have a single profitable business. In another month, they probably won't even be able to pay the interest, right?"
Song Yun nodded noncommittally and said lightly, "But what does this have to do with you?"
"You!"
Zhuang Siheng was at a loss for words. Everyone was a person of status. Wasn't it better to solve problems in a dignified manner than to resort to mortgaging the Ye family's assets and face a complete fallout?
"President Song, I believe you are a wise man and you understand the implications. Think it over, if this continues, the Ye Corporation will become worthless, and we will be able to achieve what we want for a very low price!"
Nangong Han set down his teacup and slowly said, "We won't disturb you any longer, we'll take our leave now."
Just as Nangong Han stood up, Song Yun pressed his hand with a smile and said, "Don't rush off, please sit for a while longer."
"Father-in-law, how much money does the Ye Corporation need to get through this crisis?"
Ye's father was unsure what his son-in-law was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Around 50 billion, I suppose."
"Wow, does that mean if we sell the Ye Corporation, we can turn around and make a profit of 10 billion?"
Song Yun feigned a surprised expression as he spoke.
"Yes, so President Song, you really should persuade your father-in-law. Wouldn't it be nice to take that money and enjoy his golden years? Why wade into muddy waters at all?"
Song Yun, looking at the two before him, extended his index finger and wagged it, speaking with disdain, "I thought the Ye Corporation was in a huge deficit. A mere 50 billion, I'll pay it!"
Upon hearing Song Yun's words, Nangong Han was momentarily stunned.
"You'll pay? Aside from the Mountains and Waters Corporation, you only have Sky Entertainment, and as far as I know, Sky Entertainment doesn't have that much cash on hand!"
What Nangong Han said was right, it wasn't an amount that just anyone could come up with.
Even the Nangong Family had to spend three days to gather the sum.
Ye's father looked at Song Yun with warmth in his eyes. No matter how things turned out, he certainly hadn't misjudged him.
In reality, this matter was also a headache for him. The Zhao Family and the Ouyang Family could only offer him some other conveniences, but any financial transactions, once discovered by prying eyes, would reveal that their three families had formed an alliance. Then the Nangong Family would surely withdraw their reach, and all their efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, Ye's father had also been scraping together what he could these days. However, currently, there were few people who could produce such a large sum of money at once. In Hua Country, there were no more than 30 individuals capable, and certainly, none of them would offend the powerful Nangong Family for the sake of the Ye Corporation.
"Little Song, your father understands your intentions, but to pour all your money into the Ye Corporation is imprudent. Let's discuss this matter further," Ye's father said.
Nangong Han tapped the table and said, "Hundreds of billions is not an amount that can be raised just by opening one's mouth. President Song, if you're considering selling Sky Entertainment to save the Ye Corporation, then I can only respect you as a true man!"
Watching Zhuang Siheng and Nangong Han's undisguised contempt, Song Yun pulled out his phone and dialed the general manager of Daxia Airlines.
"President Song, you've landed, right? Do you have any new instructions?" Jiao Ming respectfully inquired.
"How much liquid cash is available in the company's accounts right now?"
Jiao Ming was taken aback by the question, wondering if President Song was auditing the accounts. He hurriedly checked the latest financial statement on his computer and cautiously said, "A total of 120 billion. After accounting for the operational expenses needed for the next quarter, there is over 80 billion available."
Hearing the response on the phone, Nangong Han's smile gradually faded.
He seemed to recognize the voice he had heard on the phone, but who was Song Yun calling?
He rapidly searched his memory, and finally, his pupils dilated when he realized who was on the other end of the call!
The general manager of Daxia Airlines, Jiao Ming!
