The atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely quiet.
Li Yi's mind raced as he weighed the pros and cons of the deal.
After a long while.
He said calmly, "Yu Shui, if you really want shares in that company, I can give you 35% after I take them over. Our cooperation is much better than being with Qin Bai."
Yu Shui asked in surprise, "So many?"
“That’s right. As long as you agree to ignore what happened today, I’m absolutely confident that I can get the company’s shares. Then we can sign the contract.”
"You won't take a single penny?"
Li Yi gritted his teeth: "I won't accept it."
Yu Shui smiled and turned to Qin Bai: "This gift is quite tempting, isn't it? The main thing is, this way no one will be eyeing my daughter anymore."
Qin Bai's gaze lingered on Yu Xiaoyu beside him.
He smiled calmly and made no comment.
Yu Shui's meaning was clear: if he didn't have any further contact with Yu Xiaoyu, then helping him was still negotiable.
Unfortunately, Qin Bai pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Yu Shui wanted to slap him, so why are you pretending to be dead at a time like this?
The threat was ineffective.
He could only shake his head and say, "Minister Li, actually I really wanted to trick Qin Bai once, but unfortunately, if I did, my daughter would never speak to me again for the rest of her life."
Li Yi, unwilling to give up, asked, "How about 40%? That's my bottom line."
Yu Shui laughed and said, "It's not about the money anymore. The main thing is that I really can't trust you politicians, so... I refuse."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's face darkened.
"You're determined to oppose us. Think it through. If things continue like this, it might not be so easy for you to make a living in Shenchuan."
Yu Shui raised an eyebrow: "Oh my! It's been a long time since I've heard anyone threaten me. The last person who said that should be fertilizer for some crispy shark by now."
"Do you intend to take action against outsiders? Unless you want the entire Yu family to be buried with you."
"Minister Li is joking. I wouldn't dare to touch a national official, but..."
Yu Shui smiled casually, "I'm confident I can shake up the entire stock market, or cause some kind of economic crisis in Shenchuan."
Li Yi suddenly stood up and shouted sternly, "You dare to do this for Qin Bai?"
Yu Shui's face suddenly darkened: "It's not about Qin Bai anymore, it's about you trying to take over my company. Our Yu family will tolerate things where we should, but you've gone too far as to bully me. Do you expect me to just sit here and wait to die?"
He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and leaned forward.
"Li Yi, I can make the decision for Qin Bai right now. He doesn't have to leave Kyoto at all, and all these assets are yours."
"But you need to think about how to face the wrath of the Yu family."
"If you're really willing to take the consequences, then let's give it a try."
Li Yi stared intently into Yu Shui's eyes, trying to find any element of acting in them.
But a few minutes later, he was disappointed; Yu Shui seemed to be serious this time.
This puzzled him.
Why?
The Yu family has always stayed at home in Fukagawa, so why did they suddenly come to Kyoto to cause such a scene?
Could it really be for Qin Bai?
wrong.
Li Yi immediately rejected the idea.
As the patriarch of the Yu family, Yu Shui wouldn't be so naive as to offend himself over a young punk who stole his daughter.
It's probably because of the bidding company's shares, meaning Yu Shui is preparing to expand its influence.
But if that's the case, it doesn't seem to make sense.
He will gain more benefits by cooperating with me.
Li Yi's gaze fell on the girl behind Yu Shui.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoyu looked at her father with eyes full of admiration.
He suddenly realized something.
Yu Shui's doting fatherly nature has become widely known in their circle.
You can point your finger at Yu Shui and curse him, but try touching a single hair on his daughter's head, and he'll scatter your ashes.
If Yu Shui were on his side today, he probably would never get his daughter's forgiveness in this lifetime.
Li Yi sighed inwardly; finding the crux of the problem seemed to be of no use.
As long as Qin Bai doesn't die, Yu Xiaoyu won't change her mind, and Yu Shui won't betray Qin Bai for personal gain.
This is a complete closed loop.
Moreover, with the Liu family watching from the sidelines, things are getting a bit complicated today.
At this moment, Qin Bai slowly stood up and took the transfer documents of the bidding company from Feng Yaoyao's hand.
"Minister Li, things have come to this point, let's sit down and have a proper talk."
"Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Qin Bai placed the documents on the table and pushed them in front of Li Yi.
"Your Li family is simply worried that my growing influence in Kyoto will threaten the interests of certain people, am I right?"
Li Yi remained silent.
Qin Bai is right. In Kyoto, the distribution of benefits among each family is fixed. Now, someone suddenly appears and wants to take away some benefits. Not only him, but in the long run, others will also disagree.
"Therefore, I can do without this bidding company and submit it directly."
Li Yi looked at Qin Bai with surprise: "You're really willing to give up this project? I really don't believe it."
No one dislikes money and power. Based on Qin Bai's past experience, this guy would be upset for half a day if he lost a single dollar. Would he give up such a big piece of the pie?
"Of course, I also have conditions."
Tell me about it.
"The Luo family."
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Li Yi shook his head with a cold smile.
"Qin Bai, you're really dreaming. You want Luo Qingyan to become the head of the Luo family in exchange for more benefits? I think you're really crazy."
