Chapter 46: The Wang family is left with nothing left to lose after the King of Tianliang is defeated!
When Ling Feng saw Wang Zhenbao and Tao Xiaoyu being entertained by the general manager, he was immediately shocked and angry: "Why are you here?!"
Ling Feng thought of the humiliation these two people had brought upon him, the trampling on his self-esteem, and how he was lucky enough not to be killed in the accident and cause him so much trouble. His face became more and more angry: "What are you doing in my company?"
At this time, he had forgotten that he was called back to the company because of the rent increase in Ronghua Building, or rather, he still remembered the rent increase, but was unwilling to believe that the landlord was Wang Zhenbao.
Si Yuan has bought a lot of land and real estate over the past few decades and has long become a qualified landlord. However, he seldom collects rent himself and always hires others to take care of the rent collection.
Therefore, the branch of Ling Group rented two floors of Ronghua Building. Every time the rent was paid, it was handed over to the employee hired by Siyuan to collect the rent. Ling Feng also knew this person.
However, this time, in order to provoke Ling Feng to lose his composure, Si Yuan specially asked Wang Zhenbao to bring Tao Xiaoyu to Ling Feng to collect rent, and also raised the rent for him without any hesitation, without hiding his intention of retaliation at all.
Wang Zhenbao also understood what Si Yuan meant, so when she heard Ling Feng's question, she raised her chin with an arrogant expression and said coldly: "Why am I here? Haven't you received a call from your people? I'm here to raise the rent for you. From now on, the rent of these two floors of your company will increase by 50%!"
Ling Feng noticed that Wang Zhenbao was talking about an additional increase of 50%, not just a 50% increase. He immediately understood that the rent increase Wang Zhenbao was talking about was an additional 50% increase on top of the normal rent growth rate. Who could afford this kind of rent increase!
Even at the peak of the Ling Group's history, it couldn't withstand an annual rent increase of 50% over normal growth!
Ling Feng's face was quite ugly: "What qualifications do you have to ask me to raise the rent on behalf of Ronghua Building?"
Wang Zhenbao was as proud as a little peacock: "Just because my last name is Wang, this Ronghua Building is also named Wang!"
Wang Zhenbao originally thought that her family was not as rich as in her previous life, and that she needed to establish her own Wang Group before she could compete with the Ling Group again.
Unexpectedly, her father gave her such a big surprise just when her company was established and got on track.
If asked which she prefers between the real estate and land in this life and the Wang Group in her previous life, Wang Zhenbao would answer without hesitation in her heart - she prefers the real estate and land in this life.
In the previous life, Wang's Group was hollowed out by Ling Feng's backstabbing and had to go bankrupt and liquidate, retaining some assets.
During the time when the Wang Group went bankrupt, her parents' sighs and sad faces left a deep impression on Wang Zhenbao. She could not forget it even after more than 20 years since her rebirth.
Starting a company may result in bankruptcy. So if the Wang family's assets are all real estate such as land and houses, no matter how powerful Ling Feng's business methods are, she doesn't believe that Ling Feng can drive the housing prices down to the lowest level.
If the Wang family, who owns a large amount of land and real estate, wants to go bankrupt, there is only one possibility - house prices drop to rock-bottom prices, and houses and land become worthless, and ordinary people can buy them at will.
Otherwise, even if the housing prices fell, as long as they did not fall below the bottom line, the Wang family’s assets would at most shrink, but they would never go bankrupt.
Of course, there was also the reason why Wang Zhenbao was happy that he became the landlord who raised the rent for Ling Feng at this time.
Hehe, raising the rent for the arrogant Ling Feng. Seeing the once poor Ling Feng’s face livid because of the 50% rent increase, it’s really fun!
Ling Feng looked at his general manager. He actually put all his thoughts on the head office. After all, the head office was the lifeblood and brain of the Ling Group. If he wanted to inherit the Ling Group, he had to make achievements in the head office.
As for the branch company in Ronghua Building, Ling Feng did not attach much importance to it and most of the affairs were left to the general manager.
The general manager was previously the executive president of this branch of Ling’s Group, and his surname is Zheng.
It’s just that Ling’s father, the chairman of Ling’s Group, wanted to train his son Ling Feng, so he parachuted Ling Feng into the position of president of this branch company and kicked out General Manager Zheng.
Originally, as the prince, Ling Feng came to the branch company to be the president just to gild his reputation. As long as he appeased General Manager Zheng and said that he would return the position to General Manager Zheng after he left, and then promoted General Manager Zheng to transfer to the head office, General Manager Zheng would not complain about it.
But Ling Feng is not a human being. Not only did he kick President Zheng off the position of president after he was parachuted in, he didn't even give him the position of vice president. He also said that he didn't need a vice president next to his throne.
Mr. Zheng: “…” Do you want to hear what you are barking like a dog? If you haven't recovered from your chuunibyou, don't come to work. Do you have any shame to come and take my position?
Ling Feng did not appoint a deputy general manager, and demoted the original president, Mr. Zheng, to the position of general manager. Not only was his position downgraded, but his salary was also reduced. But because Ling Feng focuses his attention and energy on the head office, General Manager Zheng is still in charge of all matters big and small at the branch office, but the final decision is in the hands of Ling Feng.
To sum up, after Ling Feng was parachuted into the branch, General Manager Zheng's position was downgraded, his salary was downgraded, his power was downgraded, but his workload did not decrease. There was now a new General Manager Ling above his head, who does not care about business but likes to manage people and makes things difficult for them every day.
Now that he encountered a problem, Ling Feng subconsciously looked at the omnipotent victim, Mr. Zheng.
Mr. Zheng, the victim, shifted his eyes and pretended not to receive Ling Feng's eye hint. He looked at the ceiling and the floor but not at Ling Feng himself.
Seeing that Mr. Zheng didn't seem to get the hint from his eyes, Ling Feng had no choice but to ask directly: "Mr. Zheng, is what she just said true? Have you contacted the manager of Ronghua Building? Is she really responsible for collecting the rent?"
Ling Feng was unwilling to believe that he was so unlucky. The venue rented by his branch company turned out to be Wang Zhenbao's family's territory!
Ling Feng had already asked, and President Zheng couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf. He nodded and replied, "It has been verified. Miss Wang can handle Ronghua Building with full authority."
If it wasn't confirmed that what Wang Zhenbao said about the rent increase was true, President Zheng would not have asked his secretary to call Ling Feng and ask him to come over.
After all, Mr. Zheng is clear about Ling Feng's character. He doesn't care how difficult the work is. He will only say something like "If you can't even do this little thing well, get out of here. The Ling Group doesn't keep useless people!"
Under this high pressure, many employees dare not make mistakes and just want to escape from the misery as soon as possible.
Although Mr. Zheng rarely makes mistakes, he doesn't want to fall into Ling Feng's hands, so when he encounters a problem, he thinks about whether he can solve it without telling Ling Feng. If he can't solve it, he will find a reason to let Ling Feng clean up the mess for him.
When Ling Feng heard Mr. Zheng's affirmative answer, his face suddenly became cloudy.
He may still have some sympathy for Tao Xiaoyu, after all, they had a relationship before, but for Wang Zhenbao, the woman who took him away when they first met and brought him great humiliation, he just wanted her to die.
He thought so and put it into action, but the result was that Wang Zhenbao was fine, but he was watched by the police every day, which restricted his behavior. Even when he wanted to deal with several business rivals later, he could not do so under the police's noses.
He hasn't even gone to settle the score with Wang Zhenbao yet, but Wang Zhenbao dared to target him first!
Ling Feng said to Wang Zhenbao with a dark face, "You are deliberately taking revenge on me! I will not let you get what you want!"
Wang Zhenbao looked at him with an undisguised provocative look and said sarcastically, "Oh? How are you going to prevent me from getting what I want? Either you accept the rent increase or you move the company away. Do you have a third option?"
Ling Feng's face became increasingly gloomy. He really had no third choice and could only vent his anger for a moment.
Wang Zhenbao had not forgotten the main purpose of her trip. She raised her eyebrows at Ling Feng with pride and continued to provoke him: "What can you do to me? If your Ling family is still the same Ling family as before, this little rent would be nothing. Even if you don't accept it, you can turn around and find a better location, or even buy these two floors from me. But now your Ling family is not good enough. You can't even accept a rent increase. Aren't you going to go bankrupt soon? Will the great Young Master Ling become a stray dog in the future?"
Wang Zhenbao thought of what Ling Feng had done to the Wang family in her previous life. The hatred in her heart supported her in her uninstructed and extreme humiliation of Ling Feng.
Sure enough, the anger in Ling Feng's heart was ignited. The boiling anger made Ling Feng lose his mind. He stared at Wang Zhenbao's smug face, with only one thought in his mind - he wanted her to die!
Wang Zhenbao looked at Ling Feng's bloodshot eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling, but she continued to mock and ridicule Ling Feng, raising her hatred to the maximum.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I need to think about it for a while. Anyway, our lease has not expired yet, so you shouldn't rush us to pay the rent, right?"
Wang Zhenbao's real purpose was not rent, but to attract hatred. Seeing that Ling Feng hated her so much, she acted like a villain and dragged Tao Xiaoyu away proudly: "Then make a decision early. If you can't pay the rent, get out of Ronghua Building. I'm still waiting to sign a contract with the next tenant!"
Ling Feng stared coldly at Wang Zhenbao's figure with his bloodshot eyes, then looked at Tao Xiaoyu who had been ignoring him. He felt that the two women were birds of a feather, both were bitches who wanted to harm him, and both deserved to die!
Ling Feng drove General Zheng away and made a phone call alone in the president's office.
