Qiao Yu sat leaning against the headboard, looking at Jiang Chi.

His face was still a little pale.

He was also a little displeased.

"Not only do you want to acquire the Qiao Group, but you also want to form a marriage alliance. Don't you think that's going too far, Chairman Jiang?"

"I've considered the situation for the Qiao Group. Only if the Dongyang Group acquires it will the Rong Group give up. Looking at the Rong Group's past acquisitions, do you think the Qiao Group still has any chance of backing down?"

Qiao Yu fell silent.

The Rong Group is indeed difficult to get rid of.

Continuing this stalemate will only be extremely detrimental to the Qiao Group.

Jiang Chi: "Let me hear what I have to say first, we can still discuss it. I will not cut off the Qiao family's future, and I am sincerely seeking a marriage alliance. If both families are on good terms, we can develop together. I will only acquire 43% of the shares in the Qiao Group. The Qiao family will hold the rest, and you can continue to remain on the board of directors and still have decision-making power."

"..."

"This matter won't be resolved so easily. The competition with the Rong Group will only intensify. The Qiao family is no match for the Rong Group. If the Dongyang Group is protecting them, the Rong Group will have to think twice before making a move."

"..."

"Furthermore, the Jiang family is wealthy and can provide substantial funding for product research and development, as well as greater room for growth. Dongyang Group can also launch a corresponding counterattack against Rong's Group."

Qiao Yu remained silent, his brows furrowed.

He knew that once the Rong Group set its sights on him, it wouldn't be so easy to escape.

The cash flow is a key factor.

He could consider the offer from Jiang Chi, but since it concerned his daughter's lifelong happiness, he couldn't just do it casually.

Rumor has it that Young Master Jiang was crippled in a car accident.

That aspect of my health is also failing.

No matter how much money or power you have, it can never make up for a lack of happiness!

He can't be that selfish.

...

Jiang Chi continued, "The Qiao family can also be included in the core team to make decisions."

"..."

"In the future, the first grandson of the Jiang and Qiao families will fully own the 43% equity acquired from the Qiao Group, which is equivalent to returning the equity to the Qiao family."

"..."

"In the future, everything belonging to the Jiang family will be handed over to the descendants of both families."

"..."

“We can negotiate an acquisition agreement based on yesterday’s opening price, plus additional compensation, and we can also discuss a separate gift.”

Qiao Yu still frowned with worry. "Whether it's Qiao Chu or Qiao Nuan, I can't force them. If it means sacrificing their happiness, I'd rather give up the Qiao Group. I believe my father thinks the same way."

"Mr. Qiao, why don't you discuss this with Qiao Chu first and ask for her opinion? My choice for a granddaughter-in-law is Qiao Chu! Feelings can be cultivated, and I have high hopes for them. To be honest, they have already met in Yuhu Township and started interacting."

Qiao Yu was somewhat surprised!

But he still needs to consider it carefully.

"Chairman Jiang, I still want to respect Qiao Chu's wishes."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

*****

Early in the morning, news broke that Dongyang Group was going to acquire Qiao's Group.

All the major newspapers featured it as their front-page story.

They also released rumors of a marriage alliance between the Jiang and Qiao families, along with a candid photo of Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu taken in Yuhu Township.

Upon seeing the news, Jiang Zhi immediately called his grandfather.

Jiang Chi did not avoid the question and listened to his grandson's phone call.

"I was the one who spread the news. Are you wondering why I'm not in the ICU? You brat, you think you can outsmart me but I can't outsmart you?"

What era are we living in? This old man is still clinging to this outdated, toothless practice of arranged marriages.

Jiang Zhi was displeased; his handsome face was as if covered by a layer of ancient ice, and his eyes were also gloomy.

"Grandpa, if you've set your sights on a woman, marry her yourself! Don't drag me into this!"
