Chapter 157
The fact that Mr. Gu vomited blood was kept secret by the board of directors. The reason they were willing to compensate Xingxu according to the price was that they felt that the chances of evading the debt were slim, so they wanted to sacrifice the pawn to save the king and maintain the share price of Gu Group.
Anyway, the covert funding of KQRT to set up a trap for Xingxu was kept secret from the beginning. Even some senior executives within the group were kept in the dark. Unlike bears, bulls did not need to reveal their identities. Until now, the institution commissioned by KQRT was still the one that came forward to trade with Xingxu. It was separated from the Gu Group by several layers. As long as the involvement of the Gu Group was not revealed, the huge loss could be concealed, thereby avoiding stock price fluctuations.
Therefore, we certainly cannot let people know that the old chairman has been hospitalized due to a sudden illness at a time when the priority is to "stabilize the stock price."
Although Mr. Gu had lived a life of wealth and honor for most of his life, when he was so angry that he fell into a coma and was hospitalized, there was not a single relative around him.
The subordinates decided not to tell their grandson Gu Xin who was studying abroad on the other side of the ocean, and their sickly son 'Gu Min' who rarely even left the manor, so it was easy to keep it a secret, and Gu Jiangkuo was kept in the dark.
Thus, Mr. Gu lay alone in the hospital for the entire day. He actually woke up a few times in a daze, but he was dizzy and too weak to speak to anyone. He was also reluctant to speak because of the blockage in his chest. However, he could feel the smell of disinfectant in the room, the oxygen mask on his face made him hear his own breathing, and he could also vaguely see the cold equipment beside the bed.
The medical staff were busy maintaining his vital signs, but no one cared whether he was in pain or cold. Only occasionally did they hear the words "confidentiality" and "stock price".
Gu Zhonghong slowly closed his eyes. This time, he saw his long-lost deceased wife again in his dream. However, this time, Fang Wan didn't look like a hideous ghost. Instead, she resembled the photo on the tombstone. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she had the nobility of a lady from a noble family. On her clean face, without a trace of blood, she showed a contented smile: "Is it good to be alone?"
Gu Zhonghong stared at her in his dream and didn't dare to speak, as if he was afraid that she would be stimulated a little and immediately turn into a bloody and horrible appearance.
Fang Wan: "You're so smart, how much money have you lost? Hundreds of billions? You can't even beat a child, and you still dare to take advantage of your age?"
"No!" Gu Zhonghong became excited, "Don't mention this!"
Fang Wan: "You lose, Gu Zhonghong. What's the point of plotting against me? You and Xiao San's son and grandson are just as useless as you are. They can't protect the family business. This is called God's will. Those who do evil will eventually perish."
"No! Impossible! Just a few tens of billions, nothing! I don't care!" Gu Zhonghong roared.
"If you don't care, then don't be so angry that you vomit blood and end up in the hospital. There's no one around you. After you die, you'll be a wandering ghost just like me."
.
"Is the old man awake?" said Doctor A.
"I heard him mumbling 'impossible' and 'I don't care' in his sleep, and he seemed to be in pain. Is it too uncomfortable? Should we give him an injection of painkiller?" asked Doctor B.
"No," Doctor A said, "The patient's blood pressure is still high. Don't rush to use painkillers. Conservative treatment is the priority right now. Don't take any risks."
"Alas," Doctor B sighed, "If the family were here, they would definitely ask us to relieve the patient's pain. Even though we know that letting him endure the pain is to save his life, why do I feel so sorry for him?"
"Yeah, what's the point of having money? From the time the old man was hospitalized until now, no one has really cared about his condition. They're all trying to keep us alive to stabilize the company's stock price."
"I heard that this old man abandoned his wife and children when he was young, so..."
"Hey! Keep your voice down," Doctor A said, relieved after seeing Gu Zhonghong's eyes tightly closed and unconscious. "I've heard that too. He really deserves it."
.
The Gu Group finally decided to allocate 59 billion yuan through KQRT without any reduction and pay the full amount within the specified time limit.
According to the contract, Xingxu received the first payment on the second day after the delivery of the goods. Jiang Nuo activated the prepared plan and used a large part of it as the company's management fee and manufacturing fee to settle employees' wages and bonuses, regular production, etc. The other part was converted into funds and transferred to another special account.
——Of the more than 50 billion, he would set aside enough to develop Xingxu, and he planned to use the vast majority of the rest to support Gu Jiangkuo.
However, the money was deposited into a public-to-public account. As the chairman, Jiang Nuo had to follow the rules if he wanted to withdraw it and could not give it to Gu Jiangkuo for free. In the end, he went through a more complicated process and the money was reasonably and legally deposited into Gu Jiangkuo's account in the form of investment.
Based on the current share price of Gu Group, this money can buy about 6.5 shares of the group's stock.
However, that night, Gu Jiangkuo, who was moved by President Jiang's mention of his willingness to provide generous financial support, looked solemn when he actually saw the money deposited into his account and was unable to say a word.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Nuo teased him deliberately, "Is the boss lady so touched?"
Gu Jiangkuo still didn't say anything, his expression still serious.
"..." Young Master Jiang was unhappy. "Why are you unhappy? Are you having some weird male chauvinism? Do you think you're a gigolo?"
"No!" Gu Jiangkuo immediately retorted, "I'm not always a gigolo!"
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
"No, it's not called a gigolo," Mr. Gu said, his will to survive so strong that he was almost incoherent. "You're a man too. What I mean is... for me, this isn't called a gigolo."
"...Forget it, I understand what you mean." Jiang Nuo said, "No need to explain."
Gu Jiangkuo had been wanting to say this from the beginning: Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to defeat the old man and that your billions will go to waste? Those are billions. With Nuonuo's intelligence and talent, it's enough for him to build the Jiang family and realize his dreams. And now, he's using it to fund himself without hesitation?
But at this time, it is not appropriate to say "skipping stones on the water". Firstly, it is too unlucky and may easily lead to failure; secondly, the money has already been given, which seems too pretentious.
Gu Jiangkuo was silent for a while, then suddenly hugged Jiang Nuo into his arms and said solemnly, "Nuonuo, let's get married."
Jiang Nuo: “???”
No, the topic jumps so quickly?
Gu Jiangkuo hugged her boyfriend and thought to herself: Let’s find a place where same-sex marriage is legal, register for marriage, and then hand over all my assets to Nuonuo.
My people, my shares, and all my property are soft.
Gu Jiangkuo's embrace was so tight that Young Master Jiang couldn't move. He laughed and said, "Why did you suddenly think of getting married?"
For some things, it is enough to make up your mind secretly. If you say it out loud before you have done it, it will be suspected of being empty talk, which is very despicable. Mr. Gu knew it, so he just said: "It's not sudden. I have wanted to marry you for a long time. I have been thinking about it for a long time. I don't know how long I have been thinking about it."
“…”
'Marriage' is a matter of a lifetime. Mr. Jiang has never been married in his two lifetimes. This is the first time he has heard such a request. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted. Jiang Nuo's heart skipped a beat and he asked reservedly, "Then, where do you want to get married?"
Gu Jiangkuo blurted out a string of place names: "Netherlands, Denmark, France, Iceland, Norway, Ireland..."
...You can see that he did his homework early on.
However, when Jiang Nuo asked "when", Gu Jiangkuo said vaguely: "Wait a little longer, I have to prepare."
I have to prepare the 'dowry', and it would be best if I could bring the entire Gu Group with me to "marry" Jiang Nuo.
But you can't just make a promise like "I'll marry you when I get rich" casually. This is the rule of the underworld, and Mr. Gu understands it.
So I was very cautious and didn't say it out loud.
.
In Nanyang, Mr. Gu's condition has improved slightly, and the only people waiting to visit him outside the ward are a few subordinates who are worried that he might die and affect the stock price.
"There's been no news so far, so the stock price should have stabilized."
"It should be fine. After all, even Xingxu doesn't know who the real buyers of those high-purity lithium carbonates are."
"But there is someone who knows the inside story." Chen Zhigu suddenly said.
"who?"
Chen Zhigu shook his head again: "He probably won't spread it." After all, he also has shares in the Gu Group, and it won't do him any good if the price drops, unless... President Jiang is willing to support him.
No, definitely not. They are just in love. Who would be so stupid as to spend tens of billions on such a "high-risk investment"?
