"Since you already know I'm going to target your company, why do you still want to cooperate with me? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
After listening to Elder Qu's words, Lu Fan finally understood how terrifying these old families were.
He was surprised that the old man could analyze his purpose, but Lu Fan thought about it again and felt that something was wrong, so he asked the old man Qu a question.
When Lu Fan asked him this question, Old Master Qu paused briefly, seemingly lost in thought.
"I have worked hard for the Dongfang family for almost forty years, devoting my heart and soul to the Dongfang Group. Now it is time for me to do something for myself."
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Old Master Qu spoke to Lu Fan with a somewhat dejected expression.
"So what do you want me to do? What benefits can you offer me?"
Lu Fan is the kind of person who won't do anything without a reason; he won't give up any benefits just because the other party said a few things.
That's not something a businessman should do.
"I can cooperate with you on behalf of the Oriental Group because Dongfang Shuo has now become the general manager of Oriental Investment. If the Oriental Group needs to operate, it must go to Dongfang Shuo. If that happens, those people I originally won over will gradually return to Dongfang Shuo's hands, and Dongfang Shuo's power will grow stronger and stronger. This is not what I want to see. I don't think it's the result that President Lu wants to see either."
Old Master Qu then recounted the events to Lu Fan.
"You haven't said what you want me to do. Don't you just want our Jiang Group to be your source of funds?"
After listening to Elder Qu's long-winded explanation, Lu Fan became somewhat impatient and asked Elder Qu a question in return.
"That's exactly what I mean. I know your company is having some financial problems right now, but I believe you can definitely resolve this. As long as you help me take control of the Oriental Group, I can give you the Oriental Investment you want directly."
Old Master Qu made his biggest promise, knowing in his heart that Lu Fan would definitely agree.
"Okay, I'll think about it. I'll give you an answer later. After all, you know my company doesn't have any money right now, so I'll need funds to agree."
Now Lu Fan is certain that Old Master Qu on the other end of the phone is truly unfathomable.
The fact that they knew the conditions he made with Dongfang Shuo meant that Dongfang Shuo must have people around him.
Given the difference in strength between the two, Lu Fan would definitely choose Elder Qu's side.
But I still didn't trust the old man, and considering I didn't have any money yet, I could only try to appease him for now.
"Well, I hope to get your reply by this time tomorrow. If I don't, I might accidentally tell your competitors about the current situation of Mr. Lu's company."
Old Master Qu had encountered countless instances of Lu Fan's delaying tactics, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, his tone laced with a threatening undertone.
"Okay, then tomorrow at noon. If you dare to tell anyone, you should at least know about my personality."
Lu Fan had no choice but to compromise, but that didn't mean he had no temper.
If the other side really pissed him off, Lu Fan wouldn't hesitate to fight them to the bitter end.
After saying this, Lu Fan didn't listen to anything else the other person said and hung up the phone directly.
"Young people are so impatient and restless."
Sitting in the president's office of the Oriental Group, Mr. Qu looked at the phone that had been turned off, shook his head with a smile, and said...
"Mr. Qu, the branch offices below are all at a loss and are calling to ask for your opinion."
The secretary standing to the side quickly relayed the information that his subordinates had just reported to Old Master Qu.
"Tell them to stay calm. As long as we work together, Dongfang Shuo can only watch helplessly. Let them go all out. If Dongfang Shuo dares to target us, I have ways to deal with him!"
He had already anticipated that his subordinates would act this way, so he wasn't surprised at all. He simply instructed his secretary to reply to those people.
"Understood, I'll go and pass it on right away!"
The secretary hadn't expected that Old Master Qu would actually make a move. She had been working with Old Master Qu for several years and knew that he had been waiting for an opportunity.
"Chairman, all the problems on the project side have been resolved."
Zhang He rushed into Liu Shang's office and reported to Liu Shang anxiously.
"Great, finally we can see a return on our investment."
Hearing that the troublesome matter had been resolved, Liu Shang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for so many days, finally settled down, and a smile appeared on his face.
"However, an unexpected incident occurred when the board of directors was dealing with the problem."
Seeing Liu Shang's happy expression, Zhang He whispered to Liu Shang.
"An accident? What kind of accident?"
Liu Shang, who was still happy, sat up straight when he heard Zhang He's words and asked Zhang He nervously.
"The problem was that some residents refused to move out, so the board of directors had people forcibly restrain them and use bulldozers to level the houses."
Zhang He lowered his head and recounted the events to Liu Shang.
"Damn it! You're good for nothing and good for making things worse!"
Hearing about the behavior of his company's directors, Liu Shang angrily roared.
Seeing that Liu Shang was already angry, Zhang He could only stand there, not daring to look up at Liu Shang. As the manager of the business department, he should have been the one to handle these matters. At that time, the directors had no other choice but to come up with this solution.
What happened next?
After hearing Zhang He's words, Liu Shang was furious, but he still felt that things were not so simple.
If that's really all there is to it, then Zhang He hasn't reached the point where he needs to report to me.
