Chapter 680: Chapter 680 A Permanent Solution
Directly giving these two old geezers money is definitely out of the question.
With their scoundrel nature, once they spend all the money, they’ll surely come back for more.
So, the best way to resolve this once and for all is to have both of them leave the country.
To a country where immigration is easy.
It’s only after they change their nationality and can never return that I’ll give them the money.
And it won’t be a lump sum either.
It will be divided over fifty years, one million each year.
If they ever try to come back, the money flow will stop immediately.
These two old geezers, hearing these terms, were a bit reluctant.
Jiang Xu stood up, ready to leave.
Don’t take kindness for weakness.
He had already gone this far solely due to the good graces for An Feng and An Nuonuo.
Otherwise, forget about fifty million; he wouldn’t give them even five bucks.
“Fine, we agree,”
Seeing Jiang Xu truly about to leave, the two old men panicked and hurriedly agreed.
Jiang Xu had someone deal with this matter.
He also spent a bit of money to clear all the footage those reporters had taken earlier.
When he returned to the villa, he saw Chu Youwei had come.
“Jiang Xu, you’re back,” Chu Youwei stood up, greeting him somewhat shyly.
“Yes,” Jiang Xu nodded with a smile, “Let’s eat together.
“Okay, sure.”
Regarding the matter of those two old men, Jiang Xu had no intention of telling Chu Youwei.
He thought she should just focus on making money for him without any worries.
After dinner, An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei started their live broadcast in the study.
Today, they weren’t selling anything during the livestream, instead doing needlework.
Constantly selling products or teaching lessons can lead to viewer fatigue.
Changing styles occasionally can achieve unexpected results.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu went back to his own study.
He also needed to keep an eye on the Bai Family’s affairs.
In the shadows, away from the public eye, the siege against the Bai Family had already begun.
…
A certain high-end hospital.
The current Patriarch of the Bai Family had woken up.
But he still had a breathing tube inserted.
Nearly all of the Bai Family members were present.
The spacious hospital room was crowded with people.
The Patriarch of the Bai Family had already clearly understood the entire sequence of events.
When the Bai Family members had all rushed to Bai Xiaoya’s office last time to make trouble, the Patriarch was already very angry and had scolded them.
Afterwards, no one else dared to do such a thing.
Only Bai Hong and Wang Li, desperate for money, had done such a dirty deed again.
And now the Bai Family had been reduced to this state.
“What’s the situation like now?” the Patriarch of the Bai Family asked weakly.
The eldest son immediately stepped forward to answer, “Many of our family’s industries and shares have already been targetted by Jiang Xu, An Feng, and Fu Xinghan from all sides.
And because of that ‘Proclamation Against Villains’, even the families related to us by marriage are now standing by idly.”
“Ah,” the Patriarch of the Bai Family let out a deep sigh, “I was shortsighted.”
Nobody else spoke.
Who could have predicted this?
In the past, Bai Xiaoya was indeed the cream of the crop among the younger generation in the family.
But there were others who were more capable than her.
Kicking Bai Xiaoya out of the family under those circumstances, from the family’s point of view, seemed justified at the time.
The only thing they didn’t anticipate was how much support Jiang Xu would give to Bai Xiaoya.
Even though she had fallen into the mire, she was forcibly hoisted onto a high platform to bask in the attention of thousands.
Countless women in the family envied, resented, and hated her.
“Father, we should be united now if we want to win!” Bai Hong hastily said.
“Win?” the Patriarch of the Bai Family laughed. “With what will you win, with your ignorance and arrogance?”
Bai Hong’s face changed, not expecting his father to speak such harsh words to him.
“Father…” Bai Hong tried to say something, but was directly interrupted.
The Patriarch of the Bai Family said indifferently, “I ask you, how much in assets and cash do you have in your name now?
Answer truthfully, don’t force me to investigate.”
Bai Hong didn’t understand why he was being suddenly asked this.
But under the gaze of his own father, he didn’t dare to lie.
He muttered, “Adding up the properties in four first-tier cities, there are about twenty thousand square meters, eight thousand square meters of shop space.
Not much cash left, only about fifty million.
Plus, the stocks that Wang Li and I have are worth about five hundred million in total.”
The Patriarch of the Bai Family muttered to himself, “First-tier city property prices are now about fifty thousand per square meter, which would be one billion.
Shop space around eighty thousand, so that’s more than six hundred million.
All added up, just over two billion.”
After roughly calculating, he said to Bai Hong, “You have two days to liquidate these assets into cash and hand it over.”
Bai Hong and Wang Li’s complexions turned pale in an instant.
“Father, what do you mean by this?”
“What right?!”
These assets were their last safeguards; how could they hand them over?
The Patriarch of the Bai Family’s voice was cold, “Do you really think you can contend with Jiang Xu’s three families?
Each of those three families alone is not weaker than us, and in some areas, they’re even stronger.
Now that the three families have joined forces and we’re isolated, it’s only a matter of time before we’re devoured.
So the only thing that can save the Bai Family now is reconciliation.
I plan to give each of the three families thirty billion as compensation.
Apart from Bai Hong’s branch, I’ll contribute another thirty billion.
The remaining forty billion, let all of your branches come up with it together.”
As soon as these words were said, the faces of the others present changed drastically.
Once the money was in their pockets, trying to make them give it back was like killing them, wasn’t it?
With a stern face, the eldest son of the Bai Family said, “Father, this matter is of great importance, please reconsider carefully.”
The others also spoke up in succession.
“Yes, Father, wouldn’t this be very shameful for us?”
“And even if we gather the money, they might not stop their actions.”
“That’s right, isn’t this just strengthening others and weakening ourselves?”
…
They all persuaded with various arguments.
The core message was naturally that none of them wanted to part with their money.
The Patriarch of the Bai Family knew all too well what they were thinking.
At this moment, his blood pressure soared.
A bunch of ignorant and incredibly short-sighted fools.
If they pay up and seek peace now, the Bai Family will suffer heavy losses but at least it could preserve its core vitality and will eventually recover.
If they wait any longer, it will be too late.
“What are you waiting for!” the Patriarch of the Bai Family rebuked: “Hurry up.
While things haven’t reached an irreparable point, hurry up and carry out my orders!”
A bunch of idiots.
He didn’t know how he had managed to produce such creatures.
In the younger generation, the only one with vision and ability was Bai Xiaoya.
And she was sent away early on.
The Patriarch of the Bai Family was full of regret now.
Bai Hong’s face kept changing.
Looking at the Patriarch of the Bai Family lying on the sickbed, Bai Hong suddenly spoke shockingly!
