Su Wu replied seriously, "Everyone knows the prospects of real estate projects in Shanghai. If there weren't problems, how could I have acquired these shares?"

“Hiss, do you know what the problem is?” Peter finally became serious.

"I only heard about it. Hu Zeqing has secretly sold all the properties and collected half of the advance payments..."

Su Wu recounted the story in a hearsay-like tone.

Peter's brows gradually relaxed as he listened, and he slowly sat up straight.

He was originally worried about the possibility of clandestine loans or collateral.

But if he only received a prepayment, he could handle this problem.

After all, he has already signed a contract with Hu Zeqing, and there's no going back now.

Moreover, given his status, Hu Zeqing cannot renege on this money; he will have to repay it sooner or later.

Even so, he had already figured out Hu Zeqing's purpose.

He's cashing out, which is rather crazy.

Hu Zeqing will definitely have to repay the advance payment, but it won't be as painful as it could have been.

Then Peter, who takes over, has to take on all of this, otherwise the project cannot proceed normally.

Peter Ma's mind raced, and in a flash he understood everything.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; if you want to gain something for nothing, you'll have to pay the price.

"You little rascal, I didn't expect you to find out about something like this. You're not simple."

"I was just lucky, it just happened to happen."

"Heh, no wonder you're so good at making money, you even manage to run into something like this. Then just transfer your shares to me, this is how fast you're making money..."

Peter Ma didn't delve into the matter further; after his initial reflection, he still insisted on acquiring his shares.

Su Wu was somewhat bewildered; this plot was not right.

Shouldn't the story be about two victims who share a common hatred and team up to take down the villain?

But what's with this guy's reaction? Did he just say something for nothing?

Although he could easily make over 20 million, that wasn't his goal.

Su Wu hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.

“You’re wondering why I’m not angry?” Peter seemed to see right through him.

“Yes, you’re too calm.” Su Wu nodded in agreement.

"Hehehe, do you think there's such a thing as getting something for nothing in this world?" Peter Ma asked with a laugh.

Was this something that was predicted?

Upon hearing this, Su Wu couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

Half of the payment is no small amount.

Aren't they adversaries? Is Peter here to save the day?

Su Wu was completely baffled by the situation.

Peter chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and tossed him a cigarette.

"Businessmen are driven by profit and are willing to take risks as long as the profit is enough. It won't be easy for Hu Zeqing to shift the blame to someone else; nobody is stupid."

"You yourself said that the real estate market in Shanghai has a very good outlook, and prices can be said to change every year. I've already made a lot of money by acquiring it at the current cost."

"However, it seems that Hu Zeqing has encountered considerable financial problems, otherwise he wouldn't have done something like this. But with me, he can't renege on the advance payment."

Peter spoke with great confidence, showing no resentment at being cheated.

This completely baffled Su Wu.

He simply couldn't understand the thought process of a proper businessman.

This gave him the illusion that Peter Ma and Hu Zeqing were conspiring to cheat consumers.

And that's pretty much the truth; Peter doesn't care about the feelings of consumers.

He'll definitely raise the price after he takes over, so the previous contracts will naturally be invalid.

Once he's almost finished building it, those who bought the houses will definitely come out and cause trouble.

When that time comes, he will argue with Hu Zeqing until Hu Zeqing pays back the advance payment.

As for the consumers, they either took the prepayment and left, or they bought the property at a higher price.

This matter did him no harm; on the contrary, it was beneficial.

Ultimately, this matter will end with Peter Ma gaining greater benefits and Hu Zeqing gaining time to manage his funds.

After analyzing the whole incident, Su Wu felt that he had learned a lesson.

There are just too many twists and turns in this.

It was shameless, but the operation was very clever.

At that moment, he also understood something.

Neither the Li family nor the Hu family are irreconcilable enemies.

They can compete or cooperate. They can have conflicts or greet each other with smiles.

Everything is for profit, nothing else.

At that moment, Su Wu realized he had been somewhat naive.

Could it be that he simply exaggerated the conflict between himself and Hu Zeqing?

His feelings suddenly became complicated, and Su Wu felt it was necessary to reflect on his actions.

But in an instant, a surge of violence welled up in his heart, and his eyes brightened.

He may become a full-fledged businessman in the future, but his vengeful nature will never change.

He not only wanted revenge, but he wanted it to be thorough; that was his path.

Since Peter wants profit, then give him even greater profit.

After agreeing to transfer the shares to him, Su Wu revealed a mysterious smile.

"Brother Ma, I have some news to share. Do you want to hear it?"

"What news?"

"I heard that Zeqing Venture Capital is having problems and they can't access a large amount of funds right now."

"What? Where did you get this information?"

"Hehe, you can't just say that. Besides, I've also heard that Hu Zeqing is planning to set up a high-tech company in Tianjin, and it's said to be going public."

"Is that so? No wonder he's so busy trying to recoup his funds."
