Shen Fanlei was right. A few days later, Ling Cang summoned Lin Xuening, the Shen family, and the Jiang family to discuss a new cooperation plan.
Hong Xue immediately responded and was willing to invest in Century Group, and the amount was increased from the original 100 million to 200 million.
Ling Cang was really shocked. He didn't expect Hong Xue to be so rich, but if he thought about it, it was reasonable. As a famous gangster godfather in the north, Hong Yi would have not accumulated some wealth over the years. It was all in vain. Ling Cang vaguely heard Hong Xue say that all gangs and bosses had to pay money to the Hong family every month. This alone was a lot of income.
For Ling Cang, letting everyone join in can not only create value for those around him, but also help him share some risks.
No smart person will let himself take any possible risks alone. Anyone who pretends to be a hero is definitely not a hero, but a show-off.
If you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning. Ling Cang still wants to live for a few more years, so he planned to invite everyone in from the beginning. However, because he was worried that Tong Zhengrong would not agree, Ling Cang kept delaying and planned to find an opportunity. After clarifying the matter, we can formulate a specific plan, because according to Tong Zhengrong, Century Group only needs two shareholders, Lingcang and Guo Guo, and has no intention of continuing to develop other shareholders.
Since he couldn't find a chance to speak, Ling Cang simply made a plan first. What's a little helpless is that when Ling Cang was waiting for the opportunity, the opportunity never came. Now the overall affairs have been discussed, Tong Zhengrong Instead, he called me: "How are you preparing?"
"Very good," Ling Cang paused and emphasized every word: "We are discussing specific details with other shareholders,"
"What other shareholders,"
"I have already planned that the new Century Group will not only bring in several major shareholders of Century Energy, but also add several new shareholders,"
"Who allowed you to do this?" Tong Zhengrong became angry: "I have told you many times that this company is your contribution to the country. Who allowed you to develop other shareholders without authorization?"
"First of all, I have said many times that I have no intention of contributing anything to the country. The only original intention of establishing this company is to make money, because the country also needs money. We have something in common and that is why we have such a Century Group; secondly ,No one has ever said that I am not allowed to develop other shareholders,”
"I said it now,"
"It's too late," Ling Cang said firmly, without the respect a subordinate should have for his superiors: "If you forcefully stop these new shareholders, then I will have to force Century Group to abort."
"How dare you threaten me,"
"I don't dare..." Ling Cang said this, and suddenly smiled slyly: "But it's almost the same,"
"Okay," Tong Zhengrong gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to eat Ling Cang alive: "Then let's break up and stop doing this Laoshizi Century Group."
Ling Cang replied decisively: "Yes,"
In this matter, Ling Cang will never make any concessions, and has already prepared for the worst. If Tong Zhengrong cannot accept his proposal, at worst, the Century Group will be stillborn. Anyway, he has the technology. With the secret support of Sikong You and Situ Dao, it is not a problem to start other businesses.
Ling Cang's persistence is not only to take care of the people around him, but also to express an attitude. In other words, Ling Cang wants Tong Zhengrong to understand that he is a very pragmatic person, and any glory is vain. The slogans don’t work. More importantly, the things you have decided will not be easily changed, and you will not bow to anyone easily. Don’t expect anyone to lead you by the nose.
But before the complete break, Ling Cang had other plans: "I have something to tell you..."
"What,"
"These new shareholders include Tongtong,"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tong Zhengrong had never seen such a disobedient subordinate. He was confused for a moment: "We are talking about business now. Don't talk to me about useless things."
"That's the most useful thing,"
"It's useless," Tong Zhengrong was about to curse: "Are you worried that Century Group's affairs are ruined? I will mess up the relationship between you and Tong Tong, and tell you that I, Tong Zhengrong, am not a petty person. , one thing comes back to the same thing..."
"You misunderstood me," Ling Cang interrupted Tong Zhengrong without politeness: "I meant to invite your Tong family to become a shareholder."
"We take a stake,"
"Since Mr. Zun has already taken up a position in Century Energy, it is not a big deal for your family to invest some money in Century Energy this time,"
"Considering our status, it is not convenient to come forward directly, so we let Tongtong be the shareholder." Tong Zhengrong was so smart. He calmed down immediately and realized what kind of medicine Lingcang was selling in his gourd: "You plan to let us Everyone also makes a fortune from it,"
"YES,"
"Don't talk to me about talking about birds." Tong Zhengrong said two words decisively: "No money."
"It's impossible not to have money," Ling Cang smiled meaningfully: "Chief Tong, with the relationship between you and me, there is really no need to cry about poverty. I am not afraid to tell you honestly. I agree to form this Century Group. It is very important. One of the factors is that I want to benefit more people around me. It is from Tongtong's perspective that I want to invite the Tong family in. I know that Chief Tong has concerns, but since there are already so many shareholders, Tongtong It won’t be particularly noticeable among them,”
When Ling Cang said this, the nature of the whole thing changed a bit. It seemed that Ling Cang invited other shareholders to join in order to provide cover for the Tong family. Although he knew there was some water in his words, Tong Zhengrong still found it useful: "You That’s pretty much it…”
"I sincerely hope that Chief Tong can agree to my proposal," after a pause, Ling Cang reminded: "There are some things that Chief Tong should know better than me. Nowadays, which senior figure does not have relatives who are running a lot of business outside, so that's why There are hundreds of families saying that, in other words, they all walk on two legs: politics and business. It seems that your Tong family is the only one who focuses on the military | politics and has never made a difference in the business world, although this has brought you a lot. Your achievements have also made you somewhat short-legged and lack financial support at some special times."
"You don't understand a lot of things,"
When carnivores don't know what to say, or when they are hurt, they often tell people something like "you don't understand" or "I'm playing a big game of chess". Ling Cang knows this. , just too lazy to expose it: "I can guarantee that Century Group will make huge profits in the future. This is really the best time for the Tong family to reverse this situation,"
Tong Zhengrong sighed helplessly: "I have my principles..."
"I definitely dare not say that your principles are wrong, but..." Ling Cang reminded meaningfully: "You should adjust it when appropriate."
After all, Tong Zhengrong was a soldier and was very decisive in doing things. He did not ask for time to think about it. He just thought about it briefly and readily agreed: "Okay, I will do as you say."
"Thank you, Chief Tong, for your trust," Ling Cang said as a compliment, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "Tong, I've dragged you into the water this time. If Century Group doesn't make enough money, let's see what you can do to me. "
"How much do you think I should take,"
"I can tell you that the Hong family has invested 200 million, and you should not be less than this amount,"
"no problem,"
"I hope we can have a happy cooperation," Ling Cangzhi smiled proudly: "Although Tongtong can be used as a substitute for the outside world, there are still many people in your senior management who know the truth. I have no way to do this. I have to rely on Chief Tong, you go do your work,"
"Know,"
"Anything else?"
"Yes," Chief Tong said, and suddenly smiled with schadenfreude: "I heard that you have been in trouble again recently,"
"What trouble,"
"I was sued,"
"You are really well informed,"
"That is necessary," Tong Zhengrong said word by word: "You are my most proud subordinate, I need to pay attention to you at all times,"
"Thank you," Ling Cang told Tong Zhengrong, "but this makes me very uncomfortable."
"Does it feel comfortable to go to court?" Tong Zhengrong paused and asked, "What do you think?"
"I have no idea," Ling Cang shrugged calmly: "Appear in court on time, hire a lawyer when you need to, and appeal when you need to appeal."
"Do you need my help?" Tong Zhengrong prompted, "I can invite Ge over for tea."
"No, I hope this matter will be resolved on orbit," Ling Cang smiled coldly: "If you need to use extra-orbital means, it won't show my Ling Cang's methods."
"You are sure,"
"Even if I'm not sure and I lose the lawsuit, I, Lingcang, will bear the responsibility alone."
"No," Tong Zhengrong immediately denied, "You are not alone now. Your honor and disgrace are related to many people."
Ling Cang was reminded by these words and realized that he was no longer the special admissions student who drifted from Daxingan Mountains to Minghai alone. There were many people around him now, and his responsibilities were also increased.
In fact, Tong Zhengrong was right. Many people called Ling Cang to inquire about the situation.
Although Professor Ge's honorary lawsuit was not publicly reported, it was still circulated within a certain range through some channels. Shen Fanlei knew about it earlier and rushed to Lingcang's apartment as soon as possible: "What are you going to do?"
"Century Group," Ling Cang had just gotten up, yawned, and replied lazily: "Didn't we already negotiate it last time..."
"I'm not talking about this, but Ge Shuzhi's case,"
