86 Chapter 86
◎As I wish◎
The duck that was already on the chopping board flew away because of Zhang Li's sudden intervention.
How could Pei Yuanzhi not be angry?
But under the persuasion of his subordinates, he suppressed his anger and left the team's company.
But the anger in his heart was still there, and he didn't know how to vent it.
The people around him were all from the company, and his last bit of reason told him not to be too obvious, otherwise he would definitely lose in front of them.
Fortunately, among these subordinates, there is a manager who has been completely conquered by him and knows how to help him cover up.
After Pei Yuanzhi returned to the hotel where he was staying, he threw a lot of things in the room.
He had originally planned to visit the team for several days, but now that the plan has fallen through, he doesn't know what to do next.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to City A first.
But just as he had his subordinates book a plane ticket and went to the airport, his subordinates received a phone call that made them change their minds.
"Boss Pei, they said they've found another team that's just as good as this one!"
Seeing the surprised smile on his subordinate's face, Pei Yuanzhi's eyes flashed, "Where is it?"
"It's in the next city."
"Cancel the return trip and go over there to take a look."
After receiving Pei Yuanzhi's instructions, the subordinates quickly made arrangements.
Pei Yuanzhi was afraid that Zhang Li would intercept him again, so he deliberately asked everyone in the team to cover up and hide their whereabouts, and chartered a minibus in the name of someone else.
When we arrived at the location with the team, they didn't contact us in advance, but instead launched a "surprise attack".
The team members did not expect that the famous Pei Yuanzhi would come to them. When they saw them coming, they were immediately flattered and treated them as guests of honor.
The anger I suffered from the first team was finally relieved a lot here.
Pei Yuanzhi proposed to invest here, which immediately made the team leader a little embarrassed, but their attitude was much better than the first one.
"Boss Pei, we just heard you say that suddenly. We haven't made any preparations yet. So, please give me half a day. Tomorrow! I'll invite you back to discuss it. What do you think?"
The mention of "tomorrow" immediately reminded Pei Yuanzhi of Zhang Li's attempt to intercept the deal. He immediately became alert and asked, "You're not going to change your mind midway, are you?"
Unexpectedly, the other party was a little confused when he heard this. "Change your mind? What do you want to change?"
His face seemed to say, 'I'm afraid you'll change your mind'.
Pei Yuanzhi also reacted, but he was still worried that Zhang Li was deliberately messing with him.
So he probed, "I heard that Wancheng Private Equity Fund is also investing in this area. Do you have any ideas?"
Hearing this, the other party finally understood, "Wancheng? Oh~ I've heard of them, but I remember they seemed very shady. They're a newly established fund that seems to like to kick companies when they're down, and they lower prices when those companies are in trouble. How can they possibly compare to the Pei Group you represent?!"
"We absolutely believe in the reputation of the Pei Group!"
Seeing the genuine expression on the person in charge's face, Pei Yuanzhi finally calmed down.
Since the person in charge has such a low impression of Wancheng, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Li to snatch him away.
Moreover, he launched a surprise attack, and the team only had half a day to prepare, so they could see the opponent's true level.
Thinking of this, Pei Yuanzhi nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let's discuss it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!" This person in charge was much more understanding than the previous one and immediately asked people to make various arrangements.
Pei Yuanzhi took the team to rest for a day, and went to the door again the next day, and found that the person in charge was very trustworthy.
The two sides began to make contact.
Pei Yuanzhi felt that this team was better than the previous one, and even the progress was faster than the previous one. The alumni following him praised them even more.
Moreover, the person in charge was very good at dealing with people. He arranged everything for them perfectly, and his emotional value was maximized.
Pei Yuanzhi also asked someone to keep an eye on Zhang Li's movements.
Hearing that things were going very smoothly over there, Pei Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the team to speed up the process.
Some of the subordinates were worried that the fast progress would affect correct decision-making, but they were convinced by Pei Yuanzhi's reasoning that this team was able to come up with a plan comparable to the previous team in half a day, which proved that this team was superior.
So, when Zhang Li was making good progress, Pei Yuanzhi also tried his best to catch up.
He believed in his own judgment that he must be ahead of the curve in this kind of high-end technology.
When Wan Cheng transferred the money that Zhang Li had transferred to the project, Pei Yuanzhi also decided on the team at about the same speed and quickly completed the signing and payment.
Wu Heng's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. After confirming that Pei Yuanzhi had really made the investment, he smiled with satisfaction and reported it to Zhang Li.
"Has he already transferred the money?"
"Yes, he's been fooled once, but he still falls into the same trap. This person is really hopeless."
"How can he be hopeless? Doesn't he have Mr. Pei backing him up?"
Wu Heng was surprised for a moment, then he understood what Zhang Li meant.
Old Master Pei must be very angry with this stupid grandson this time, but he must make a decision about the heir of the Pei family.
-
Less than two months later, not long after the New Year, Pei Yuanzhi suddenly heard the bad news.
"What did you say?!!"
"What does it mean that the Liang guy is missing?!"
An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Boss Pei! We might have been scammed!!"
"You told me that, and every aspect of it has been verified! And now you tell me I've been scammed?"
Pei Yuanzhi's face turned ashen with anger.
This time he put all the company's capital at stake, which amounted to hundreds of millions in working capital!
If this fails and the old man finds out, everything will be over!
The other side tried to explain: "We did conduct a thorough investigation, but they disguised themselves too long and too well! This is definitely a professional gang. Mr. Pei, let's call the police!"
This is already a large-scale gang crime. If the investigation is timely, the defrauded money may be recovered.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Yuanzhi seemed to have flown away into the sky.
Call the police? Of course the old man would know. If he knew he'd lost a large sum of investment money again, what would he do?!
He didn't dare to think about it.
But if he didn't have the old man's help, not only would his investment fail, he might not even be able to repay the bank loan. What kind of situation would the company he took over face then?
Bankruptcy? Liquidation of liabilities?
He's finished!
Pei Yuanzhi was deeply aware of this.
At this critical moment, he suddenly came to his senses.
No, this company is his only hope, he absolutely cannot sit and wait for death.
He immediately contacted his parents, but when he told them what happened, his parents felt like the sky had fallen.
"A few hundred million?! Where are we going to get you that much money?! What's wrong with you?! Are you blinded by greed?!"
He was scolded severely over there.
But Pei Yuanzhi was their only son. When Pei's mother saw Pei Yuanzhi's red eyes and the look on the verge of collapse, she couldn't help but agree with heartache.
Not long after they hung up the phone, before they could go and raise funds, everyone was called back by Mr. Pei.
Seeing Mr. Pei sitting in the main seat with a gloomy expression, and Pei Yiyuan and her mother standing beside him, constantly persuading him not to get angry and hurt himself, Pei Yuanzhi knew that he was really finished!
Sure enough, after seeing him, Mr. Pei seemed to have found an outlet for his anger.
"Well done! You really are! I handed a company over to you, and in less than two years, you completely ruined it! You are truly a good descendant of my Pei family!!"
Mr. Pei was so angry that he hit the ground repeatedly with his cane.
Pei Yuanzhi was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"Grandpa, I was wrong! But I was also deceived! They might have come to my Pei family on purpose! I was wrong in every way! It's all my fault for not judging people well. Please don't get yourself hurt by anger!"
Seeing his hypocritical appearance, Pei Yiyuan and her mother, who were originally trying to persuade the old man, looked at each other and stopped showing their presence.
Unfortunately, Pei Yuanzhi only used this trick once, but by the second time, Old Master Pei had completely seen through him.
His eyes were full of disappointment and he closed them to calm himself.
Seeing that Mr. Pei remained silent for a long time, Pei Yuanzhi looked up cautiously. His parents also wanted to say something, but did not dare to.
Pei Yiyuan knew Mr. Pei best. When she saw this scene, she was shocked. She thought something had happened to Mr. Pei and hurried forward to grab his hand.
"grandfather!!……"
But at the moment she grabbed him, Mr. Pei suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the panicked expression on her face, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.
Pei Yiyuan felt as if she understood something.
Sure enough, Mr. Pei’s next words shocked the entire Pei family.
"I will transfer 25% of the group's shares to Yiyuan. Yiyuan will stay with me from now on."
"dad!!!"
"grandfather!!!"
Pei Yuanzhi's parents were so shocked that they forgot their original intention.
Although 25% is less than half of the Pei family's shares, this decision is a disguised announcement of the future heir of the Pei family.
Pei Yiyuan had been fighting for so long, but when she heard the result, she still felt like she was in the clouds.
Her mother was also stunned.
It was not until Mr. Pei pinched her hand that Pei Yiyuan woke up from her dream.
"Okay, Grandpa!"
She had never concealed her ambitions in front of Mr. Pei, so it was natural for her to agree.
However, this was devastating news for Pei Yuanzhi and his parents.
However, Mr. Pei was too powerful and they didn't dare to refute him.
Looking at this incompetent son and daughter-in-law, and that grandson who seemed like the sky had fallen, Mr. Pei felt angry for a long time.
"Get out of here!"
Pei Yuanzhi wanted to stay, but Old Master Pei had the servants kick him out.
After they left, Mr. Pei patted Pei Yiyuan's hand and said, "The old man is already old..."
"Grandpa is still in good health!" Pei Yiyuan comforted him.
Mr. Pei sighed and said, "I'm going to rest for a while."
"Do you need me..."
Before he could even utter the words "accompany you", he was interrupted by Mr. Pei shaking his hand.
He returned to his room with a cane, accompanied by his housekeeper.
Pei Yiyuan looked at his back with an extremely complicated expression.
Only after the old man completely left her sight did Pei Yiyuan look at her mother.
"Good job, Yuanyuan! You did it!" Her mother hugged her excitedly.
Pei Yiyuan knew that it was not her who did it, but Zhang Li.
-
In the evening, Zhang Li received a video call from Pei Yiyuan.
"How about it?"
"Thanks to you, Grandpa has transferred 25% of the shares to me. Pei Yuanzhi has been completely abandoned."
"I'm satisfied when I heard the news." Zhang Li smiled unconcealedly.
However, Pei Yiyuan looked like she had something to ask.
"You want to ask if I was the one who arranged for Pei Yuanzhi to be defrauded?"
Pei Yiyuan nodded upon hearing this.
Zhang Li looked innocent: "I look like someone who can control a fraud gang?"
"That's him..." The pit he fell into?
"I just pushed this long-awaited gang to him because I was constantly hearing him spread rumors about me. However, the decision to invest was his own, so I blame him for not being able to judge people."
"No one will notice this, don't worry."
If he could find out, Mr. Pei would also suspect Pei Yiyuan, and she would not set such a big trap for her friend.
"That's not what I meant..."
"Okay, I understand! Congratulations! You finally got what you wanted!" Zhang Li raised the wine glass he had taken from somewhere and made a 'cheers' gesture to her, which finally made Pei Yiyuan feel a pure joy.
After hanging up the phone with Zhang Li, she made a decision.
A few days later, Zhang Li was called to Wancheng's headquarters by Pei Yiyuan.
When she sat opposite Pei Yiyuan, the other party pushed a thick document to her.
Zhang Li looked at it with doubt for a while, and then his eyes showed shock.
"You have billions under your control, there's no need..."
"No need to say more! If you hadn't joined, these things would only be worth a few billion at most. It's not like I don't know how to do the math."
"Then there's no need to transfer it all to me..." And it's free of charge.
"Alas... who made me want to hold on to your golden thigh?" Pei Yiyuan deliberately made a joke, and then she laughed out loud.
Actually, this is the truth.
If it weren't for Zhang Li, not only would she not be able to become the heir of the Pei family, she might have been beaten by Pei Yuanzhi by now.
Zhang Li looked at her expression and knew that she had made up her mind.
"Well, I bought it from you..."
"Come on, I just want you to owe me a favor. Next time I'm in trouble, you can help me out for free. Or, if you have an investment that can make you soar, just take me with you."
Zhang Li's heart moved, and he seemed to have an idea.
"I snatched a project from Pei Yuanzhi. I'll transfer half of my shares to you in exchange for what you've transferred to me."
Pei Yiyuan already knew Zhang Li quite well. Hearing such serious words from her meant that the rewards from this project would definitely be huge.
"That's fine."
The two finally reached an agreement.
They exchanged the resources in their hands at the fastest speed.
Zhang Li also became Wancheng's real and only behind-the-scenes investor.
Her next target is the Liu family.
