Lin Yang relayed the words of the three bigwigs to Wang Chuanwen and Wang Yuwei. The three of them sat around in Wang Chuanwen's room, the atmosphere heavy.
Everyone knew that this investment and cooperation decision was crucial for the Wang Group and could not afford to make a mistake.
When Wang Tao and Zhao Yuqin heard that they were going to discuss investment cooperation, they felt that this was an opportunity to show themselves in front of Wang Chuanwen.
He hoped to curry favor with Li Taihang and gain benefits for himself, so he rushed over in a hurry.
Wang Tao plopped down heavily, and before the sound of the chair moving had even subsided, he impatiently shouted.
"Father, is there even a question? We'll definitely choose Li Taihang!"
“He’s the richest and has the most investments. With him as our backer, the skyscraper reconstruction will definitely go smoothly, and our Wang family will also be able to rise to prominence in the future.”
As he spoke, he waved his hands dramatically in the air.
He imagined himself swaggering around in high-end social settings, basking in the adulation of others thanks to Li Taihang's name, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.
Zhao Yuqin nodded in agreement, much like a chick pecking at rice.
"That's right, that's right. Li Taihang is rich and powerful, and has a wide network of connections. It's definitely the right thing to do to cooperate with him."
"Lin Yang, don't hesitate any longer, just make a decision quickly."
Her face was plastered with a fawning smile, extremely obsequious.
She was thinking to herself that if she could get in touch with Li Taihang, she would be able to do whatever she wanted in the industry, and all sorts of resources and benefits would surely flow into her home.
Lin Yang frowned slightly, feeling utterly disdainful of the short-sighted thinking of Wang Tao and his wife, who only looked at the surface and ignored potential risks.
"Although Li Taihang's conditions seem very tempting, you don't understand him."
"This person appears amiable on the surface, always smiling when we meet, but in reality he is cunning and ruthless, a typical smiling tiger."
Wang Yuwei nodded in agreement; she had heard many rumors about Li Taihang before.
Combined with Lin Yang's analysis, they felt even more strongly that cooperating with Li Taihang was extremely risky.
“My husband is right. I also think that Li Taihang is an unpredictable person, and it is too risky to cooperate with him.”
"If disagreements arise during the cooperation, given his methods, it will be difficult for us to counter him."
Wang Chuanwen sat there, leaning slightly forward.
He placed his hands on his knees, his brow furrowed, and did not speak immediately.
Li Taihang's immense wealth is indeed very attractive.
Rebuilding skyscrapers is a massive undertaking that requires huge financial investment.
With Li Taihang's support, their financial situation will undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed.
Lin Yang's concerns were not without merit. Having worked in the business world for many years, he knew that the business world was like a battlefield.
One wrong decision could plunge the Wang family into utter ruin.
If you bring in an uncontrollable partner just to get short-term financial support, the consequences could be disastrous.
Seeing that Wang Chuanwen had not made a statement, Wang Tao thought there was still a chance.
“Father, think about it. Li Taihang’s status in the business world, as long as we cooperate with him, our Wang family’s reputation will be established immediately.”
"From now on, when we go out, everyone will look up to us."
"Moreover, he has such a wide network of connections. If he just introduces a few projects to us, the profits will be enormous."
"If our Wang family can latch onto his coattails, we'll enjoy endless wealth and prosperity in the future."
Zhao Yuqin quickly added,
"Yes, Dad, you're getting old, it's time for you to enjoy your retirement."
"If we succeed in cooperating with Li Taihang, our Wang family will rise to prominence, and you can enjoy your retirement in peace."
"Besides, the risks Lin Yang mentioned might just be unfounded worries. How could someone as important as Li Taihang make things difficult for our Wang family?"
After a while, Wang Chuanwen slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Yang, and asked.
"Lin Yang, tell me, among these three people, why do you think Li Xiangyu is relatively more suitable?"
His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Lin Yang could give him a reason that would convince him.
Lin Yang cleared his throat, sat up straight, and began to analyze the situation seriously.
“Grandpa, although Li Xiangyu has also been in the business world for many years, he has his own calculations.”
"But judging from the investment plan he proposed and our interactions over this period of time, it seems relatively reliable."
“His investment of 500 million yuan for a 20% stake is reasonable, ensuring he has a certain degree of involvement in the project without excessively diluting the equity of the Wang Group.”
"This way, he can actively contribute ideas to the project without causing too much interference with the company's decision-making, and the Wang Group can still maintain relative independence."
Lin Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "Judging from the way he helped resolve the partner's problem this time, he is quite particular about the balance between rules and methods, and he won't easily do anything too outrageous."
"He did not resort to coercive measures, but instead used communication and lobbying by his affiliated companies to persuade partners to change their minds voluntarily. This achieved his goal without causing too much resentment."
"This way of doing things shows that he knows how to weigh the pros and cons and will not destroy the business ecosystem for short-term gains."
"In comparison, Zheng Qitian is too scheming and ruthless. Although he can achieve his goal, the consequences will be endless."
"Li Taihang is too unpredictable, making people feel uncertain."
"Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, Li Xiangyu is a relatively better choice."
After hearing this, Wang Chuanwen sighed softly, leaned back in his chair, and looked tired.
"Sigh, I've actually been struggling with this myself."
"Li Taihang's financial resources are indeed exactly what we urgently need right now."
"But after hearing your analysis, I'm also worried that cooperating with him will have endless consequences."
Wang Chuanwen knew Lin Yang's abilities and insights well, and after experiencing so much, he had enough trust in Lin Yang.
"Fine, I choose to trust you. I'll choose Li Xiangyu."
Wang Tao and Zhao Yuqin wanted to argue a bit more, as they felt Lin Yang's analysis was nothing but alarmist.
Li Taihang's powerful background is what the Wang family truly needs.
In their view, Lin Yang was deliberately suppressing Li Taihang and elevating Li Xiangyu.
Wang Tao's face flushed red, and he said anxiously,
"Father, please reconsider. Li Taihang's strength is undeniable. If we miss this opportunity, our Wang family may never have another chance to turn things around."
Zhao Yuqin echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, Dad, Lin Yang is still young, and he may not have thought things through thoroughly enough."
"Li Taihang will definitely not treat our Wang family unfairly, so please agree to cooperate with him."
But Wang Chuanwen has already made his decision, and his attitude is firm.
Although they harbored resentment, they dared not openly oppose it anymore.
After all, Wang Chuanwen's authority within the Wang family was still unquestionable.
They sat silently to the side, secretly blaming Lin Yang for ruining their plans.
