Chapter 140 Forced to Transfer 30% of Shares

The door of the Yun family villa was opened from the inside, and someone walked out in black custom-made leather shoes, stepping across the bluestone slabs.

Yun Jingyuan put one hand in his suit pocket, and his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were as cold as a pond.

Behind him followed two assistants holding documents, the gold-plated patterns on the corners of the document bags gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"Why didn't Uncle Zhou tell me beforehand that he was coming?" Yun Jingyuan's voice was like a scalpel dipped in ice, precisely breaking the deadlock.

Father Zhou looked towards the door in the direction of the sound and saw Yun Jingyuan walking out with a cold face. His expression couldn't help but darken.

Yun Jingyuan is now the head of the Yun family. He is ruthless and acts cleanly and efficiently.

With him here, it would be difficult for them to get any benefits from the Yun family.

"Jingyuan, you've arrived just in time." Yun Tianqing spoke as if grasping a life-saving straw, "They want..."

"Father, I'll take care of it." Yun Jingyuan interrupted Yun Tianqing and calmly took the tablet from his assistant. "This is the financial audit report of Zhou's company in recent months. Do you want me to read it to Uncle Zhou?"

Yun Jingyuan's voice was cold and calm, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The tablet screen in his hand displayed the financial data of the Zhou Group in recent months. The densely packed numbers and charts looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Zhou's father's face turned ashen in an instant, and a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect Yun Jingyuan to find out Zhou's financial situation so quickly, and he didn't expect him to reveal his cards so directly.

"Jingyuan, what do you mean by this?" Zhou's father suppressed his anger, his tone threatening. "The Zhou family and the Yun family have always had a cooperative relationship. Isn't it too inhumane for you to do this?"

Yun Jingyuan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a sneer curling up at the corner of his lips. "Uncle Zhou, the prerequisite for cooperation is sincerity on both sides. But given the Zhou family's current situation, I'm afraid they no longer qualify for cooperation. I'm sure you're aware of this."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the bodyguards behind Zhou's father like a knife, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "The Zhou family's funding chain is broken, and they urgently need the Yun family's support. Yet you still want to use such harsh means to force us? Uncle Zhou, are you too naive?"

Zhou's father's expression became even uglier, his fists were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white.

Yun Tianqing and Jiang Yan stood aside with complicated expressions.

They didn't expect Yun Jingyuan's attitude to be so tough, and he directly exposed the Zhou family's trump card.

Although he felt relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, because Zhou Chen was not a pushover.

"Jingyuan, this matter..." Yun Tianqing was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yun Jingyuan raising his hand.

"Father, I will handle this matter." Yun Jingyuan's tone was unquestionable, his eyes still staring coldly at Zhou's father. "Uncle Zhou, the Yun family can inject capital, but this money is not given for free. We want Zhou's shares, and it's 30%."

"Thirty percent?!" Father Zhou's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose. "You're taking advantage of the situation!"

He holds 30% of Zhou Group's shares, Zhou Yushen holds 40%, and other shareholders hold 30%.

Yun Jingyuan asked him for 30% of the shares right away, so how could he give in so easily?

Yun Jingyuan sneered, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "Uncle Zhou, the Zhou family's market value has shrunk by nearly half. Do you think it's a loss to exchange 30% of the shares for the Yun family's capital injection?"

Father Zhou was speechless for a moment, his face ashen.

He knew that what Yun Jingyuan said was true. The Zhou family was indeed in trouble and urgently needed funds.

But asking him to hand over 30% of his shares is tantamount to asking him to hand over his entire fortune.

"Jingyuan, we need to discuss this matter again..." Zhou's father's tone softened, trying to delay time.

Yun Jingyuan didn't give him the slightest chance and said coldly, "Uncle Zhou, my time is precious. If you can't make a decision now, then there's no need for us to talk anymore. I have a meeting to attend, so I'll be leaving."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, as if announcing that the negotiation was over.

Father Zhou's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly stepped forward, "Wait! Jing Yuan, we can talk more!"

Yun Jingyuan stopped and looked back at him with a cold look in his eyes. "Uncle Zhou, my conditions have been made very clear. If you agree, we can sign the contract now. If not, please go back."

Father Zhou gritted his teeth, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

He knew that Yun Jingyuan was forcing him to make a choice.

Either accept the Yun family's conditions or watch the Zhou family go bankrupt.

"Okay... I agree." Father Zhou was silent for a long time before finally agreeing, his tone tinged with reluctance. "Thirty percent of the shares in exchange for the Yun family's financial support."

Yun Jingyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, "Uncle Zhou, this is a wise choice!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal the assistant behind him, "Prepare the contract."

The assistant nodded immediately, quickly pulled out the prepared contract from the file bag, and handed it to Zhou's father.

Father Zhou took the contract, his hands shaking slightly.

He knew that once the contract was signed, Zhou's control would be greatly weakened.

But now, he has no other choice.

Zhou Yushen has disappeared since the engagement party, and now the company's revival depends on this life-saving money.

"Uncle Zhou, please sign." Yun Jingyuan's voice was cold and calm.

Father Zhou took a deep breath, finally picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.

Yun Jingyuan took the contract and carefully checked it. After confirming that it was correct, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "It's a pleasure to work with you, Uncle Zhou."

Father Zhou snorted coldly, his face darkening, "Yun Jingyuan, you are indeed much more cruel than your father."

Yun Jingyuan didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "The business world is like a battlefield. Uncle Zhou should know this better than me."

Father Zhou's face turned pale, but he knew he was telling the truth. He understood the law of the jungle, that the strong always had absolute say, and the weak could only obey!

Yun Tianqing and Jiang Yan looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces, some shock, some secret satisfaction, but more of joy.

Originally they were planning to go to the Zhou family to apologize humbly, but they didn't expect such a big reversal.

"Jingyuan, you..." Yun Tianqing hesitated and finally sighed, "You did a great job."

Yun Jingyuan nodded slightly, his eyes cold. "Everything has been resolved. There's no need for you to go to the Zhou family to apologize. Go back. I'm going to the company for a meeting."

At first, Yun Jingyuan thought that the engagement banquet incident was indeed Yun Ruzhu's fault, and they were indeed in the wrong, so they just went to her house to apologize and the matter would be over.

However, they didn't expect that the old fox Zhou Chen would come to their door in person and so blatantly take the opportunity to extort money from them.

How could he agree to this?

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. His back was straight and indifferent, with a hint of loneliness.

Father Zhou looked at his back, a sinister look flashing in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, "Yun Jingyuan, just wait, I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"
