Chapter 875: Negotiations Failed
"Thank you, Mr. Xie."
The security personnel were still very polite, after all, they had seen Xie Nancheng countless times.
Although Mr. Gao has retired from the world, his legend still lingers and his network of connections is still very strong.
Inside the low-key and luxurious manor.
Xie Nancheng was taken to an exclusive reception room.
The retro Chinese-style buildings exude luxury and splendor everywhere.
The butler immediately brought a pot of hot tea.
"Mr. Xie, please have some tea first."
"The old man will be down soon."
"Thanks."
Xie Nancheng was dressed in a suit and tie, but the difference today was that he was wearing the ring that Mr. Gao had given him.
The emerald retro-style ring was bought when Xie Nancheng took over Shengshi Group.
The gift from Mr. Gao as an elder is also a token of the Gao family’s goodwill.
He was being a little cunning now, deliberately wearing this ring when visiting.
It seemed as if he wanted to subtly remind Mr. Gao of the friendship that has existed between the Gao and Xie families over the years.
Xie Nancheng was not in a good mood today.
I always feel a little uneasy.
A little nervous.
I always feel that the result will not be very good. It can be regarded as my sixth sense.
Soon, Mr. Gao came down.
The nanny supported him.
The old man with gray hair was wearing a light gray Zhongshan suit.
He also wears the great man's medal on his chest.
It does feel like a ceremony.
Of course, Mr. Gao also has a dignified look on his face. Although he is old, he still has the aura.
"Mr. Gao." Xie Nancheng stood up and was very polite.
"Nancheng is here."
Mr. Gao greeted him with a smile, but the more he did so, the worse Xie Nancheng felt.
In fact, before coming here, I had already investigated it clearly and confirmed it repeatedly.
It was indeed Mr. Gao's operation that gave the big cake of new energy to that bastard Xie Yao.
Xie Nancheng couldn’t figure it out, he really couldn’t figure it out.
Unless Mr. Gao is crazy!
"Come to see you." Xie Nancheng said.
"Is your father okay?"
"Well, he's still pretty strong."
"I'm deeply sorry about your grandmother's incident. I wasn't in Xiangcheng that day."
"I went to Lingnan to visit an old friend."
"When I came back, the funeral was over."
This was indeed not a lie. Mr. Gao was not in Xiangcheng a few days ago.
"It's okay, we know what you mean."
"What's more, several of your juniors are here in person."
“When you get old, everything is difficult.”
"Your grandparents were truly influential figures in their lives, and they retired in glory. Especially your grandmother, who was strong throughout her life. She is one of the very few women I admire." Mr. Gao's words were all polite.
Xie Nancheng could only cope with it, "Yes, my grandmother has a very strong personality, but she has sacrificed a lot for our Xie family. By the way, Mr. Gao, do you know Xie Yao?"
Xie Nancheng mentioned Xie Yao directly, so it was difficult for Mr. Gao to lie.
Instead, he was slightly startled. "Are you talking about the guy from Yuanhang Group?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Oh, I know him, what's wrong?"
"The new energy project has now been taken advantage of by him. I can't understand why." Xie Nancheng looked into Mr. Gao's eyes and spoke every word.
“I have been following new energy projects for several years.”
"The sacrifices made are immeasurable."
"Mr. Gao, you understand."
"I finally found the opportunity this year, and I plan to make a name for myself with Lao Lu."
"But... this project was taken advantage of by outsiders."
"Are you aware of this?"
After listening to this, Mr. Gao just calmly picked up a cigar.
Xie Nancheng stood up and wanted to help order.
Mr. Gao shook his head and indicated that there was no need to light the fire.
He simply put the cigar to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then put it down.
"I do know this."
"Xie Yao is said to be from the same clan as you, and a great-grandfather, right?"
"He's been expelled from our family. His grandfather had a fierce fight with my grandfather back then. After they fell out, he was kicked out by my grandfather and we've been separated ever since. We're indeed related by blood, but emotionally, not at all."
Xie Nancheng's answer was quite straightforward.
"Is that so..." Mr. Gao seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"Mr. Gao, such a big piece of cake as the new energy project cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."
"Xie Yao's base is in Southeast Asia."
"His purpose in returning to China was to make money."
"We absolutely cannot allow them to reap the domestic market and then spend it abroad. This is treasonous behavior."
"Nancheng, I know you've contributed a lot to New Energy... but... you've also gotten involved in all the businesses that Shengshi should get involved in. Over the years, you've already done your best."
"As someone who has been through this, I also have something to tell you."
“When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes.”
“One cannot take advantage of all the benefits, nor enjoy all the blessings.”
"You already have a lot now. Even if you don't count the new energy projects, you are still a rare talent."
The cleverness of Mr. Gao lies in that he did not say anything directly.
But what he said was telling Xie Nancheng that you already have enough, don't be ungrateful.
What are you talking about?
Who would complain about having too much money?
After all, more money is better than less, right?
But the attitude must not be like this, after all, he is a respected elder.
So, although Xie Nancheng was already unhappy.
But he still patiently explained, "Mr. Gao, I understand what you mean. Even if the new energy project is not given to me, it cannot be given to Xie Yao either. We are mortal enemies. And I have indeed paid a lot for this project. Now this end is unacceptable, right?"
"But there are always gains and losses in life. You should understand that when doing business, you won't get rewards every time you put in effort, right?" Mr. Gao's words completely made Xie Nancheng unhappy.
He directly asked, "Mr. Gao, what benefit did Xie Yao give you?"
"I'd pay ten times as much."
Gao Lao suddenly looked a little embarrassed. "Nancheng, it's not that problem. It's just that you've acquired too many resources over the years. There's a saying among the people that half of the people in Xiangcheng are surnamed Xie."
"You can't be the only one fat, right?"
"If this continues, it will cause public outrage."
"We also need to consider the living space for other entrepreneurs."
"The country is cracking down on monopolies now. You have done everything that Xiangcheng can do. It is not a loss for New Energy to not intervene. As a human being, don't be so greedy." Old Gao said calmly.
Xie Nancheng was already very angry at this point, but he still asked patiently, "Mr. Gao, how about the painting I asked someone to send last month? Have you seen it?"
Xie Nancheng was reminding us that this painting was of great value.
It's not very decent of you to accept the gift and then speak for others.
Unexpectedly!
"By the way, speaking of this, I want to tell you something."
"I think you were cheated by someone and bought a fake painting."
"You happened to be here today. Take it back and return it to the buyer. You were probably scammed."
To put it bluntly, Mr. Gao waved his hand.
"Xiu Lan, go upstairs to my study. There is a painting on the desk. Take it down for me."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the nanny came running down from the study.
Xie Nancheng almost immediately denied it, "There's no way it can be fake, Mr. Gao."
"I asked an expert to authenticate it." Xie Nancheng said.
"Then I guess this expert and the buyer have conspired to rip you off."
"This painting is a fake. I have studied the paintings of this master for many years and I would not be mistaken."
"Mr. Gao, but..."
"Nancheng, just take the painting back. Don't send me any more paintings in the future, okay?"
Old Gao's face turned cold and he gave a signal at the same time.
Don’t give him anything from now on, he won’t accept it!
Has he been completely bribed by Xie Yao?
