Su Hongshi was dumbfounded! The only word to describe his shock was "astonishment"!
How many years has the Chinese market been open? This is the first time Su Hongshi has encountered something like this!
Rongcheng, the company that bought Changrun, failed to pay the final payment. In other words, the subsequent transfers were theoretically invalid. If Mr. Zhou were to pursue the matter, these companies would have to return their profits!
If they meet in court, whose side will the law support?
Didn't Mr. Zhou say that their contracts were drafted by lawyers, and that they have a dedicated legal team?
If Su Hongshi were quick enough to sign a contract with Zhou Jian'an and pay him the money... Zhou Jian'an would have successfully gotten rid of the money, but Su Hongshi would have become the sucker, having to take those 80 or 90 million yuan and jump into a fire pit!
Su Hongshi couldn't describe his complicated feelings. He suddenly felt that his brain wasn't up to par, and that the real estate industry was not something he could handle. He also decided that he should keep a low profile in the future, especially to build a good relationship with President Zhou, because President Zhou's brain was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Su Hongshi acted decisively, "President Zhou, thank you for reminding me. If it weren't for you, I would have lost everything if I had plunged in!"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "President Su, we're all in the same industry. I heard you're a friend of President Qiao, and I didn't want to see you jump into a fire pit, so I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. You really are... sigh, if it weren't for you, my life would be over! I'll find a chance to leave right now and not do business with you anymore. Sue whoever you want, cause trouble for whoever you want. We at Redstone Capital are not getting involved in this mess! Mr. Zhou, we'll meet again someday!"
Su Hongshi hung up the phone, his expression changed, and after returning home, he put on a show, claiming that something had happened at home and he had to go back to deal with it.
This caught Zhou Jian'an completely off guard. He was stunned and had no idea what Su Hongshi was up to. Didn't he say he was going to take over Changrun? Just a moment ago, the other party was so enthusiastic, saying he wouldn't be able to sleep well until he got Changrun. How could Su Hongshi's attitude change so drastically in just ten minutes?
Saying that something bad happened in the family means the whole family died, which has nothing to do with negotiations, right?
Zhou Jian'an stood up repeatedly, "President Su, about the cooperation..."
"Mr. Zhou, let's talk another day. I really don't have time today. I'm sorry, there's an emergency at home and I have to go back. It's really unfortunate..." Su Hongshi said and then left.
After Su Hongshi left Changrun Building, Zhou Jian'an was completely distraught. Who on earth called Su Hongshi and made him change his expression so drastically? His feeling intensified; it was as if someone was watching him all along.
There is a hand controlling his destiny.
Zhou Jian'an had a bad feeling.
"Go bribe Su Hongshi's assistant and find out who made the call," Zhou Jian'an instructed his assistant.
Jiang Yu walked over, looking at Zhou Jian'an with concern, "Brother Jian'an, we'd better get rid of the house quickly! Look at that President Su, he must have heard something. Maybe we should lower the price..."
Zhou Jian'an nodded. Sometimes it's all about mindset. Just a moment ago, he was confident that he would earn 25 million. But after Su Hongshi left, Zhou Jian'an's confidence was shattered. He lowered his expectations, thinking that he didn't need 25 million. Earning 20 million would be enough, or even 15 million would be enough. In fact, as long as he could recover his principal and make a small profit, Zhou Jian'an would be satisfied.
The news that Zhou Jian'an and Redstone Capital had failed to reach an agreement spread throughout Nanhai within a few days. Immediately afterwards, the price of Changrun Building was reduced by a full 5 million yuan.
The market is sometimes strange; people buy when prices are rising and not when they are falling. When Zhou Jian'an was holding his head high, many people came to negotiate with him. Now that Zhou Jian'an has taken the initiative to lower prices, fewer people are coming to discuss business.
Zhou Jian'an was starting to lose his composure. He didn't know where he had gone wrong. He had always been very precise in his calculations, but now he was uncertain.
Zhou Jian'an didn't have to wait long. On Monday, he received a summons from the court, informing him that he had become a defendant.
"What? Defendant? Why would I, Zhou Jian'an, become a defendant?"
Zhou Jian'an frowned and questioned his assistant, who quickly explained:
"They say Huachu Future Company is suing us, but it's not just us, it's all the companies that handled the Changrun Building."
"What's the reason? What justification? Didn't Huachu Future sell Changrun to Rongcheng?"
"Here's the reason: it's said that Rongcheng didn't pay the final payment, so the sale between Rongcheng and Huachu Future wasn't fully effective. Subjectively speaking, the house is still Huachu Future's asset. The subsequent transfers were all invalid! Now Huachu Future has produced a contract, saying that their company is still the owner of the building. The court will decide the case based on the evidence. If the court supports them, the subsequent transfers will be invalid. Our company's purchase of Changrun will at least not be supported by law."
Zhou Jian'an was stunned. Was he not supported by the law?
Doesn't that mean that all 60 million he invested was wasted?
Zhou Jian'an had over 100 million yuan in funds, but after deducting the money spent on buying land, the 6 million yuan, and the expenses of maintaining the company, Zhou Jian'an only had tens of millions of yuan in cash left. He originally thought that after recovering the more than 80 million yuan, his assets would increase.
Who would have thought that Rongcheng would not pay the final payment!
Hualai actually sued Rongcheng and several other companies!
Zhou Jian'an's company has become a defendant!
With Changrun Building embroiled in lawsuits, which company would dare to get involved in acquiring Changrun? At that point, let alone 85 million, Zhou Jian'an wouldn't be able to recover even his initial investment of 60 million!
Zhou Jian'an is definitely not going to win his lawsuit against Hua Chu. If he wants to win, he'll have to sue Tang Xiaoyao, but Tang Xiaoyao has already disappeared! Maybe he's already taken the 60 million, closed the company, and gone free!
