The agent looked down at his phone, and although he looked puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Dan raised her number plate and called out 550 million, which was all the money she could raise at the moment. Her fingertips were cold, not because of nervousness, but because of weakness. It is so difficult to keep the big ship of Jinding afloat in the torrent of capital. But no matter how difficult it is, she has to try. She can't let the Wang family go bankrupt because this is the obsession of Uncle Wang and Aunt Xue. She took the original owner's body and borrowed her fate, so she should repay these favors and debts for her.
Even the US government doesn't know how much wealth Zeng Zhenyuan has. He is a rare business genius in the world. Every project he invests in can make money, and he is known as the "Philosopher's Stone". Five hundred million was definitely not his bottom line. Lin Dan even suspected that when the price reached one billion, the competition would only have just begun for him. He is a hungry wolf, and once he has his hands on the throat of his prey, he will never let go.
Lin Dan stroked the slightly red corners of her eyes and silently waited for the agent to bid, but the other party never raised his hand. The host on the stage began to count down three times, then slammed the gavel. Everyone applauded Lin Dan, but she turned to look at Zeng Zhenyuan with a look of surprise.
it's over? Five hundred and fifty million, not more, not less, just below her maximum limit to win the shares of Jinding. If it had not really happened, she would have suspected that this was a white joke played by the auction house on her.
When Han Xu hugged her tightly and patted her back gently, she finally realized that all this was true. The feeling of exhaustion surged over her, making her eyes red. She quickly raised her head and blinked rapidly, trying not to show her vulnerability.
"Congratulations." Han Xu's deep voice made her feel very reassured.
"Thank you." She couldn't help but knock her chin on his shoulder, letting herself let go of all the burdens, but put on the heavy armor again two seconds later. Looking over Han Xu's shoulder, she saw Zeng Zhenyuan smiling at her and clapping, without any sign of defeat. She immediately understood that she did not actually win, but her opponent had let her off.
Lin Dan's clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist again, her red lips slightly curved, showing a sincere smile to this enemy.
Zeng Zhenyuan paused his clapping for a few seconds, and a look of amazement flashed across his blue eyes. When he looked carefully again, Lin Dan had left Han Xu's arms, straightened his back and looked at the host. She turned into the strong woman who was in charge of everything again, as if her previous tiredness, fragility, softness and cuteness were all an illusion.
Zeng Zhenyuan shook his head and chuckled, showing no anger or resentment at losing the competition.
Zeng Yixuan asked without knowing the truth: "Brother, why didn't your agent bid anymore? Did he fall asleep? It doesn't matter if you didn't buy it, but don't take it out on Lin Dan." He knew his brother's character too well. This guy was used to venting his anger on others. If Ouyang Xue made him angry, he would always come to make trouble for him. He really deserved a beating!
Zeng Zhenyuan sneered and was too lazy to answer his brother's stupid question.
After the auction, Lin Dan was led by the staff to handle the equity transfer procedures. When passing by the hall, he happened to see Zeng Zhenyuan leaving. The man was wearing a black suit today and walking slowly among a group of fat and big-eared businessmen, making him particularly eye-catching. He is more than a head taller than the people around him. Years of exercise have made his body look very strong. Just his tall back is enough to show his unparalleled masculine charm.
Many people tried to talk to him, with a rather flattering attitude, but he was somewhat indifferent. He held a cigar between his fingertips, and occasionally exhaled a cloud of smoke from his thin lips, as if smiling. His cynical look was full of primitive wildness.
You don't need to understand his inner qualities, just looking at his appearance you can tell that this is a man who is not easy to get along with. However, it was this man who took the initiative to give up the fruits of victory at the auction that just ended. Thinking of this, Lin Dan strode over and said loudly, "Mr. Zeng, please stay."
Zeng Zhenyuan stopped almost immediately and stood at the door waiting for Lin Dan. Realizing that Lin Dan was a pregnant woman, he quickly put out his cigar in the sandbox on top of the trash can.
"Miss Lin, do you have something to talk to me about?" He stretched out his hand to support Lin Dan, because he noticed that the floor near the door had just been waxed and was very slippery.
"Thank you." Lin Dan said sincerely.
"What are you thanking me for?" Zeng Zhenyuan raised one eyebrow, as if he had no idea why she came.
Lin Dan couldn't help but smile, took the initiative to extend his hand and shook his, and said again: "Five hundred and forty million is definitely not your upper limit, so I want to thank you."
Zeng Zhenyuan held her tender hand, and his palm suddenly felt hot. This was the first time that he did not consider the money, the gains and losses, and took the initiative to give up a business that was destined to make a lot of money. In fact, when he walked out of the auction house, he was annoyed for a moment and couldn't understand why he did this.
But now, when he faced Lin Dan's shining smile, he suddenly felt relieved. All he wanted in exchange for giving up this big deal was a word of thanks and an easy smile from this woman, it was that simple. This may be the most intangible thing he has ever purchased, but it is also the most valuable.
"You're welcome. I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future." Zeng Zhenyuan held Lin Dan's hand tightly and did not let go until about half a minute later.
Lin Dan didn't understand why, but he had already turned and left.
Han Xu stared at the tall back of the man and said, "If he failed to buy Ruifeng's shares in Jinding, he can still buy the scattered shares of other shareholders, but the process is more troublesome."
Lin Dan suddenly realized, but she was unable to stop Zeng Zhenyuan's actions. All her funds have been used up, and Jinding's R&D team is currently a bottomless pit. She can only see large investments but no output at all. She must find a strong investor as soon as possible, otherwise Jinding will definitely not survive the bankruptcy protection period. Zeng Zhenyuan's joining may not be a bad thing for Jinding. There are no eternal enemies in the business world, only eternal interests.
Han Xu patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, I still have 500 million funds in my hand, and I can invest all of them in you."
Lin Dan said firmly: "I won't let you lose money."
Han Xu held his forehead with his hand, feeling helpless. What he cared about was never money, but people. When will Lin Dan believe this? Maybe he helped her at first out of Wang Jun's favor, but later he took care of her completely willingly. When he sees her tired, he feels tight in the chest; when he sees her happy, he feels happy. Before he knew it, his emotions were completely controlled by her.
Han Xu, this is your retribution. God is punishing you for your arrogance. Thinking of this, Han Xu could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Almost every day, he had the same question brewing in his mind, but he always retreated at the moment of blurting it out. He wanted to ask Lin Dan seriously: Do you still have feelings for me?
However, he knew better than anyone how difficult Lin Dan's life was now, so how could he bear to put pressure on her again? She was pregnant with Wang Jun's child. She was the daughter-in-law recognized by Uncle Wang and Aunt Xue. There was no possibility between them anymore.
How great would it be if there were no Wang Jun and this child? Han Xu couldn't help thinking like this recently, and unknowingly he began to hate his dead friend. But no matter how much he hated Lin Dan, he couldn't bear to see her suffer even a little bit, so he would still help her cook, clean, buy daily necessities, and take her to the hospital for prenatal checkups every day. He took on everything a husband and father should do, and he did it willingly.
…………
Upon learning that his daughter-in-law had bought the controlling stake in Jinding, Wang Zhaokun could not hold back his tears. He held Lin Dan's hand and kept saying that the Wang family was sorry for her. Xue Yao's mood also improved, and her health gradually improved. She often fell ill when the Wang family was at its peak. Now that the Wang family has declined, her heart has become stronger. This is thanks to the appearance of Lin Dan and the arrival of a new life. As long as there is hope in life, human beings can get out of any difficult situation.
Since Ruifeng went bankrupt, Wang Zhaokun has no longer had any contact with his old friends in the business world. However, since his daughter-in-law bought the controlling stake in Jinding, these people began to appear around him again. They came to visit Wang Zhaokun with fruit baskets, and said with envy: "Old Wang, in less than three months, Jinding has already emerged from bankruptcy protection. I heard that it has recently raised two huge rounds of financing. Your daughter-in-law is so capable!"
Wang Zhaokun said that young people still need exercise, but in fact his heart was filled with indescribable pride. The death of his son was a huge blow to him and his wife, but the arrival of their daughter-in-law completely soothed their pain. When he recovered, he went to work for his daughter-in-law and passed on all his life experience to her. His son is a useless person, but his daughter-in-law is a recognized strong woman in the circle. Who wouldn’t envy his good fortune nowadays?
With their moods improved, Wang Zhaokun and Xue Yao's health also improved, and they prepared to move to the same nursing home. Lin Dan has Han Xu's support behind him, Zeng Zhenyuan has also acquired 30% of Jinding's shares and started to invest heavily in research and development. Lin Dan naturally has more money on hand, and wants to help his parents improve their living conditions.
That day, she drove to the municipal hospital to pick up Wang Zhaokun. As she was helping the old man to the door, she was blocked by a man. The man knelt down and grabbed Wang Zhaokun's trouser leg, saying that he was an employee of Ruifeng. Due to an accident at work, one of his legs was cut off by a machine and he lost his ability to work. Now that Ruifeng has gone bankrupt and his daughter has leukemia, he is in urgent need of money. He hopes that Mr. Wang can pay him the overdue wages.
Ruifeng’s assets have already been auctioned off, but the proceeds are still withheld by the court and have not been unfrozen. There is nothing that can be done about it. Wang Zhaokun explained patiently, but the man didn't believe it, and there was a hint of crazy hatred in his eyes.
"Ruifeng has gone bankrupt, but you still have Jinding, right? Your daughter-in-law is now the largest shareholder of Jinding. Don't think I don't know." The man's eyes were red.
"Ruifeng is Ruifeng, and Jinding is Jinding. I cannot embezzle Jinding's funds to fill Ruifeng's holes. That's a crime." Lin Dan stood in front of Wang Zhaokun.
The man put his hand into the inner pocket of his jacket, and veins popped out on the sides of his cheek, as if he was enduring something. Lin Dan felt something and immediately said, "How about this, I'll go back and think of a solution. Three days later, you ask the employees who haven't received their wages to go to Ruifeng headquarters and wait for me. I will give you an explanation."
The man slowly lowered his hand that had been inserted into his jacket, looked at Lin Dan deeply again, and then left.
