Chapter 47: San Xin Makes A Mistake, And I Foot The Bill?
Xinghai reception room.
Ye Hongzhi’s old face was now sometimes contorted, sometimes helpless.
“General Manager Jin, General Manager Liu, could you consider swapping for some other conditions? I represent Deli this time with complete sincerity. Those previous matters were all caused single-handedly by Ma Gaosheng. Our company has already dealt with him, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should spend the rest of his life in prison.”
Over there, Liu Jun, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a relieved expression.
But Jin Qiaoying beside him was different, still with that confident demeanor that kept people from approaching.
Jin Qiaoying had changed her outfit today; a pure white ladies’ suit without a trace of impurity made her even more striking than before.
It was beautiful, truly beautiful, but Ye Hongzhi was at a loss.
Back when Jin Qiaoying was employed at San Xin, he had suffered quite a few overt and covert losses at her hands.
Now she had come to Xinghai as General Manager and was fleecing him again.
“Ye Zong, you must know how serious the consequences were for Xinghai from what Deli Company did before. To put it bluntly, Xinghai was on the verge of bankruptcy several times due to Deli Electric Power’s malicious competition.
Xinghai has always adhered to a win-win cooperation attitude, actively cooperating with industry-leading enterprises including Deli Electric Power.
I believe no company offers a lower patent authorization price for high-voltage radio patent technology, which brings great convenience to industrialization, than Xinghai.
Based on this, I have reason to demand these compensations for the losses caused to Xinghai by your company’s previous actions, in order to protect Xinghai Technology’s interests.”
Jin Qiaoying’s icy words contained not a trace of personal emotion.
Beside her, Liu Jun, hearing this, wished he could give her a thumbs up on the spot.
This output was far more satisfying than his straightforward style of ‘thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, today’s master is beyond your reach.’
Moreover, yesterday after he discussed with Fan Ren and showed the proposed demands to Jin Qiaoying, they were rejected by her.
Because only she knew that in Deli Electric Power’s equity structure, although Ye Hongzhi was not the largest shareholder, the interest group he represented held nearly 50% of the company’s shares.
A mere 15% battery production capacity wouldn’t make Ye Hongzhi feel any pain.
Moreover, as long as they obtained authorization for battery production, this small loss could be quickly compensated in the face of huge interests.
Not to mention that with high-voltage wireless charging technology, many factories were now starting to transition to intelligent factories.
For Deli Electric Power, abandoning these factories was no big deal.
Ye Hongzhi lowered his head and glanced at the document again, at Xinghai’s demands, his entire face extremely bitter.
Battery production factories accounting for about 35% of production capacity.
He knew coming to Linhai this time would cost a hefty price, but when facing these two inexperienced youngsters Fan Ren and Liu Jun, his original plan was that offering 5-10% battery production factories would probably suffice.
Xinghai currently lacked money, that’s true, but it lacked battery production capacity even more.
But unexpectedly, the ideal negotiation counterpart changed overnight due to San Xin Group’s antics into the woman before him.
Why!
San Xin made a mistake, and he had to pay for it too—what kind of nonsense was this.
“General Manager Jin, 10 factories, rounded to a whole number—this is my bottom line!”
At this moment, he couldn’t care about Liu Jun smirking beside him; he knew the one in charge was this new General Manager of Xinghai who had been in office less than a week.
Jin Qiaoying still showed no trace of emotion, shaking her head extremely coldly to indicate rejection.
This scene felt like something Ye Hongzhi had seen countless times; his whole body seemed drained, and he couldn’t help leaning deeply back into the chair’s backrest.
“Fine, but I have a demand!”
“Fine, you say, but whether we can accept it depends on the situation.”
A polite smile finally appeared on Jin Qiaoying’s fair face.
She knew this deal was done.
“After Xinghai takes over the factories, the high-voltage radio modification technology for the factories must be shared with us Deli.”
An involuntarily ferocious expression appeared on Ye Hongzhi’s face; if this condition wasn’t accepted, he wouldn’t hesitate to quit as Vice President and walk away.
“Fine, pleasant cooperation!”
The smile on Jin Qiaoying’s face grew even brighter; her originally beautiful appearance now looked like a shrewish woman in Ye Hongzhi’s eyes, making him nauseous.
Ye Hongzhi didn’t even give a courteous farewell and strode out of the reception room.
This trip to Linhai had been a complete loss.
Sitting on the way to the airport, Ye Hongzhi’s face grew darker the more he thought.
Mortgaging the branch building to the Liu Family and handing over 35% battery production capacity—these were actually still okay; after all, the losses were the company’s money.
Facing the solid-state battery market where prices had privately reached nearly 10,000 yuan per kWh, once authorization for production was obtained, the profits were visibly huge.
Moreover, the market was ready-made, and Deli had its own sales channels; giving away the factories was no big deal, and he could explain it to the Board of Directors.
Just sacrificing some insignificant interests would do.
But the 1 billion pitted away by Ma Gaosheng—this was money he had to personally compensate to the company.
After all, though this amount was within his authority to approve, it was ultimately for public relations fees; listed companies had loopholes in their systems to exploit.
But if it appeared on the financial report, it would easily attract scrutiny.
To retire smoothly in the future, he had to cover this 1 billion himself. He wasn’t some saint; to reach this position, he had countless overt and covert enemies—any slip-up under scrutiny would mean eternal damnation.
After thinking, he asked the secretary in front: “What about Ma Wei? Still no news?”
The secretary turned her head, her face also somewhat unpleasant as she shook her head.
“Currently, we only know he fled to the United States; his specific whereabouts haven’t been traced yet.”
“The money!”
Ye Hongzhi only cared about the money—that was 1 billion!
“There’s word on the black market that Ma Wei probably only got about 200 million. He was also scammed.”
At this point, the secretary’s face softened slightly, hoping this news would improve Ye Hongzhi’s mood.
But reality was obviously not as she expected.
“Bastard, 800 million wasted like that by him? Does he know the market at all! Huh? You’re useless too—just finding one person, and you can’t even handle this by now.”
Ye Hongzhi’s face was extremely ugly, cursing the secretary in front so harshly she didn’t dare look up.
The atmosphere in the car plummeted to freezing point.
United States, West Coast, some nearshore waters.
Yacht, beach shorts, black sunglasses, expensive champagne in hand, and bikini girls beside him.
Ma Wei had never enjoyed such a lavish life.
200 million—he used this money to buy a villa in the rich area of a coastal metropolis, hired a housekeeper and nanny. And on the housekeeper’s suggestion, he splurged 30 million on a private yacht.
Of course not the best kind, but this was standard for the rich.
As the housekeeper said, the yachts docked at that private pier below were all owned by the rich in the rich area.
If he didn’t have one, though not essential, it would likely invite mockery.
Besides, with 200 million, spending 30 million was nothing. As for the black market’s 800 million handling fee, though it hurt, he had no choice—time was too tight, no other channels, so he had to swallow being ripped off.
“Hey, dear Ma, are we heading back now?”
Ma Wei reached out and pulled the bikini girl with bronze skin beside him into his arms, nodding indulgently.
“We’ve been out for three days; for me, this is already rare indulgence.”
“Ma, your self-discipline is truly admirable.”
Her soft body pressed against his; Ma Wei couldn’t help but show a bitter expression.
He was out of ammo and food.
“Ma, I’ve thought it over—I don’t want a luxury car, I just want to be with you; I don’t care about the rest.”
A shrewd glint flashed across the woman’s face as she leaned against Ma Wei’s chest, but her tone was coquettish and innocent, like a naive girl untouched by the world.
Ma Wei of course fell for it, his mind involuntarily recalling the woman back home who had strung him along at first, and he couldn’t help thanking her inwardly.
If not for Xu Min’s actions that night and the chain of consequences, he would still be just an unremarkable little rich second-generation back home.
Now, he lived in a big villa, with several million-yuan luxury cars in the garage, and his own private yacht.
With a housekeeper, with nannies.
All this was thanks to Xu Min and Fan Ren.
“Hiller, this isn’t about whether you want it; if I promise you, I’ll do it—breaking my word would go against my principles as a man.”
Ma Wei’s hand lightly stroked the woman’s back, the touch smooth and silky.
Delighting in the moment, no thought of return.
