Chapter 526: Withdrawal of Investment
Li Ruiyi is not a stupid person. His IQ may not be outstanding, but his ability to endure and lie dormant is much better than Song Wenchang and Huangfu Yuanzhou.
If what Song Wenchang or Huangfu Yuanzhou experienced happened to him, the outcome might be very different.
When Li Ruiyi first heard about Song Wenchang falling from a building, he immediately considered the consequences of this incident and did not focus on why Song Wenchang chose such an extreme method.
After all, for him at that time, the reasons were no longer important.
Later, during his free time, Li Ruiyi did think about this question. From his understanding of Song Wenchang, he did not seem like someone who would give up easily. However, Song Wenchang was already dead, and he had no way of understanding the inside story.
"Why did Song Wenchang die?" Li Ruiyi asked.
"It might be more accurate to describe it as a complete loss."
Jiang Tiantong replied, "From the very beginning, your actions were all part of Tang Shuo's plan, including the current situation."
"May I remind you," Jiang Tiantong continued, "Tang Shuo's main target is not you, and the people he's working with are Cribber and Miranda."
"Miranda?" Li Ruiyi knew Cribber's name, but Miranda seemed a little unfamiliar to him.
"The royal princess." Jiang Tiantong explained.
Li Ruiyi's expression changed, and he sat down on the sofa with a heavy face. After a long while, he finally asked, "Did Tang Shuo ask you to tell me this?"
"no."
Jiang Tiantong shook his head and replied, "Because of Yihe."
Li Ruiyi took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to think.
"Tell Tang Shuo I'll stop!"
These few short words seemed to have drained all of Li Ruiyi's energy. After saying this, he stood up and walked towards the hotel entrance in a daze.
Li Ruiyi's actions actually do not look like those of a weak person, because not everyone has the courage to cut off one's arm.
Because of the investment during this period, some of the Li family's businesses have been affected to varying degrees. Li Ruiyi's decision to let go now not only means he will have to bear the cost of his investment in Lan Yu, but even his businesses will begin to shrink.
Originally, he and Huangfu Yuanzhou planned to invest the remaining 4 billion US dollars at the last minute, but now it seems that he has no chance at all.
This wasn't entirely due to Jiang Tiantong's words, as Li Ruiyi suddenly realized he hadn't been sure about this matter. Jimmy, who had been in contact with him, hadn't called him recently and was clearly in trouble.
From these aspects, wouldn’t it be a good thing to stop in time?
Now that the losses were confirmed, all that was left was to work hard to recover them. Even though the Li family had suffered severe damage, it was still the Li family after all. With the support of its existing foundation, it was not impossible for it to recover to its current state in ten or twenty years.
After figuring this out, Li Ruiyi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
After getting in the car, he did not go home, but drove directly to Huangfu Yuanzhou's villa.
…
Looking at Li Ruiyi who had returned, Huangfu Yuanzhou asked in confusion: "Why are you back again? Did something happen again?"
Li Ruiyi walked into the villa and sat down, then said to Huangfu Yuanzhou, "I've decided to quit!"
"quit?"
Huangfu Yuanzhou asked doubtfully, "Quit what?"
"Withdraw from this fight with the Jiang family." Li Ruiyi said, "According to the proportion of our two separate investments in the second round, the remaining four billion US dollars will be divided between the two of us."
Huangfu Yuanzhou was startled and asked hurriedly, "Why?"
"Jiang Tiantong came to talk to me this afternoon," Li Ruiyi replied. "We don't have much chance of success in this matter. We might as well stop now and think about the future. Although the remaining money is not much, as long as we manage it properly, there is still a chance to make a comeback."
Huangfu Yuanzhou ignored Li Ruiyi's subsequent words. In the current environment, how easy would it be to make a comeback?
Moreover, his situation is rather complicated. He has almost completely cut off contact with the Huangfu family. So what other opportunities does he have now?
"What did she say to you?" Huangfu Yuanzhou asked.
Li Ruiyi said helplessly: "The people involved in this matter are not something we can deal with right now, and the remaining money can't solve any problems."
"Did Jiang Tiantong say that to you?" Huangfu Yuanzhou asked.
Li Ruiyi nodded and said, "Haven't you noticed? In fact, from the very beginning, we have been led by Tang Shuo by the nose."
"Maybe she couldn't bear the pressure, so she deliberately misled you."
Huangfu Yuanzhou insisted, "If you can't make any difference to her, why would she come out to help you?"
Li Ruiyi shook his head and replied, "I have already made up my mind."
Snap...
Huangfu Yuanzhou's face darkened, and he slammed the table and said, "You were the one who challenged me to take action, and now you're the one who's saying you want to withdraw. What do you think of me?"
Li Ruiyi had anticipated Huangfu Yuanzhou's temper and apologized, "Although I was wrong in this matter, my losses are greater than yours, so you shouldn't be dissatisfied."
Huangfu Yuanzhou took two deep breaths, and after his emotions had stabilized, he continued, "Have you really thought it through?"
"right."
Li Ruiyi nodded and replied, "It's not too late to stop now. If we throw all this money in, the situation will be hopeless."
"Do you know how much your Li family will lose if you don't give it another try?" Huangfu Yuanzhou continued to persuade.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Li Ruiyi replied, "I just know that if we don't stop now, our losses will only increase."
After a pause, Li Ruiyi continued, "Give me half of the remaining four billion US dollars. I'd rather lose more."
When they decided to take action, after comprehensive consideration, both parties put the funds into one account, so Li Ruiyi needed Huangfu Yuanzhou's approval to withdraw his investment.
Li Ruiyi was well aware of Huangfu Yuanzhou's situation. If he had withdrawn in time, he would still have the broken Li family to rely on. However, the other party had nothing but the remaining funds, so he decided to give him a larger share.
Two billion US dollars is a huge sum of money in the eyes of most people, but this money is not that important to Huangfu Yuanzhou.
As the heir of the former No. 1 family in Yanjing, all Huangfu Yuanzhou needs is a chance to prove himself again!
If he wanted money, he could have just taken away the funds on the Huangfu family's books and left China. Why would he have to hide here and there all day long, wandering around like a stray dog?
"Do you really want to quit?" Huangfu Yuanzhou asked again with a stern face.
"Yes!" Li Ruiyi answered firmly.
"You forced me to do this!"
As he spoke, Huangfu Yuanzhou winked at the bodyguard beside him. The bodyguard immediately understood and pulled out a gun from his pocket, pointing it at Li Ruiyi.
Li Ruiyi was startled and turned to look at Huangfu Yuanzhou and asked, "What do you want to do?"
He had already thought about Huangfu Yuanzhou's attitude on the way here. In his opinion, the other party was just angry at most. After all, he decided to withdraw in order to preserve the common interests of him and Huangfu Yuanzhou.
However, he obviously did not expect Huangfu Yuanzhou to do such an extreme thing.
It was no secret that he came here. If he was really killed here, it would be easy to pinpoint Huangfu Yuanzhou as the culprit, and he would then become a real fugitive.
Huangfu Yuanzhou obviously hadn't made up his mind for a moment. He leaned back in his chair and muttered, "Why are you forcing me?"
"I'm doing this for both of our own good!"
Li Ruiyi immediately explained: "Instead of wasting money, it's better to just stop. This way, everyone still has a chance."
"But I no longer have a chance!" Huangfu Yuanzhou said angrily.
"I agree to your request and will not withdraw my investment."
Li Ruiyi saw that Huangfu Yuanzhou's mental state was not very stable, so he immediately changed his tone and said, "We will proceed according to the original plan!"
"It's too late!" Huangfu Yuanzhou replied in a deep voice.
