Kuang Peisheng sighed:
"It's really not that I'm dragging my feet, it's just that there's still a bit of a shortfall in the project's start-up funding."
“If it were a small shortfall, I could cover it myself and start work immediately. But this one is seven or eight hundred million, and even if I wanted to, I couldn’t afford it.”
"How about the executives tighten their purse strings and each contribute a little more?" The other executives hesitated immediately: "This..."
The initial investment was already substantial, and now more is needed, but the project hasn't even started yet.
Who wouldn't have a doubt about this?
And they need to keep adding funds. They have huge families behind them. To be honest, it's not much for each family to add tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
But precisely because the company is so large and powerful, this money can't be spent casually; the financial audit behind it will never easily give in.
The thought of endless seminars and board meetings is enough to make anyone shudder.
The initially delicate and charming beauty spoke again:
"Mr. Kuang, if it were really that simple, even if your Huanmei Group shelved one or two projects, couldn't you at least set up the platform here first?"
"Why wait for the last few hundred million? It's not impossible to develop and build first and then recoup the funds."
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes and winked at the CEOs, seeking allies:
"What do you all think, bosses? Is it possible that Mr. Kuang has lost all authority at Huanmei Group, or is this project just a mirage, a deceptive scheme that's impossible to see or touch?"
Kuang Peisheng had previously been quite fond of this woman because of her beautiful appearance. However, her constant sarcasm had angered him.
"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Where did you find this female companion? You never take the lead yourself, and you always have her do the dubbing for you. Are you putting on a show?"
The one being addressed as "Old Wang" was none other than Wang Ye, the eldest grandson of the current head of the Wang family. When Kuang Peisheng called his name, he gave his female companion a doting look.
"Mr. Kuang, what's wrong with you? I think Ying'er is right. If it's not a scam, your Huanmei Group can easily make up for the remaining funding gap."
"It's just a matter of one or two projects. Surely Mr. Kuang can make that decision within Huanmei Group?"
After Wang Ye spoke, the lawn fell silent for a moment.
Everyone wanted to see Kuang Peisheng's reaction. Rather than knowing that the project was a scam, they knew it was a confrontation between Huanmei Group and the Wang family.
After all, the Wang family has been having a run of bad luck lately, while Kuang Peisheng's family is thriving.
Kuang Peisheng's face turned bright red from the questioning. Forced into this situation, he could only offer endless explanations.
He spoke until his mouth was dry, but all he could do was listen to the beautiful woman beside Wang Ye, who gave him a faint smirk and expressed disbelief.
But she also gave Wang Ye face and didn't press Kuang Peisheng for more information. Instead, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile:
"It's just a funding gap of a few hundred million, I do have someone in mind, but I don't know if Mr. Kuang would be willing."
Now, not only Kuang Peisheng and the others, but even Wang Ye sat up straight, becoming interested:
"Oh? Where did Ying'er make her new friend? Tell me so I can give you some advice."
The beauty called "Shadow" winked at Wang Ye and recommended him to Kuang Peisheng:
"I remember the ones who snatched several plots of land from Huanmei Group at this auction were young talents who had just come to Nanshan City to develop their careers, right?"
"What, Mr. Kuang isn't interested in making connections for us and introducing this talented young man to our bosses?"
Kuang Peisheng wasn't the only one stunned when he heard what Ying'er said.
Could the woman be referring to Lu Fan, who came to Nanshan City for development, and his Fanyue Real Estate?
Everyone else, including Wang Ye, was somewhat surprised: "..." Him?
Then everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and those who knew the inside story unconsciously began to look in Wang Ye's direction.
Kuang Peisheng was unaware of this before, but during the auction, he had already asked his assistant to inquire about Lu Fan's identity.
So his gaze followed everyone's and slowly turned toward Wang Ye.
Everyone here knows that the Wang family hasn't been having an easy time lately.
The cause was his encounter with Lu Fan, who was still in Jinghai City at the time.
Now that Ying'er has made this suggestion, hasn't this brought this private conflict to the forefront?
Kuang Peisheng didn't mention that he had already gotten involved with Lu Fan before.
They were thinking of getting Lu Fan involved in a project that Huanmei Group was collaborating on with others.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan wasn't interested at the time, and Kuang Peisheng didn't find an opportunity to continue the conversation until the auction ended.
Now that the old story has been brought up again, Kwong Pui-sang has also remembered this incident.
Then, along with everyone else, they looked at Wang Ye, wanting to see what his magnanimity was and what he intended to do.
Let's see if this king has the heart to tolerate others and the magnanimity of a prime minister.
They can put aside personal emotions and grudges for the sake of making money.
This is the proper conduct of a successful conglomerate.
Ying'er looked bewildered, but because of the unspoken mockery in everyone's eyes, she shrank back uncomfortably and also turned her gaze to Wang Ye.
