It took seven days, with the assistance of 20 members of the Eka International Shipping Group's financial and legal team, 80% of the Kemeang family's property had been assigned to Xue Chen's name, whether it was the hotel or the property.
Whether it was shares, investments in stocks, gold, deposits in major banks and antiques collected in warehouses, they were all carefully counted.
Edward, who was lying on the hospital bed, wanted to fight Xue Chen every time he picked up the pen to sign, but when he thought of Xue Chen's ability, he felt deep despair.
He also refused to sign. He didn't believe that Xue Chen dared to kill him! But Xue Chen didn't kill him. He just came to the room and stood in front of him. Soon after, he would be horrified to find that he signed the contract with his own hands.
But he had no idea why he signed it, as if his brain had been controlled.
"Devil! Witchcraft!" Edward was trembling in his heart.
In seven days, Edward's gunshot wound had healed a lot, but his hair had a lot more gray hair than it had seven days ago, as if he had aged ten years.
On the eighth day, the head of the 20-person Eka Group team stood in front of Xue Chen, placed a thick stack of contracts and agreements in front of him, and said, "Mr. Xue, these are most of them."
The asset certificates have been issued, but some of them have been temporarily merged into the subsidiaries of the Eka Group. It will take some time to be transferred to your name, so that no obvious traces will be left, and there is no need to worry about being affected by all parties in the future.
tracing.”
Xue Chen expressed his gratitude, and then with a wave of his hand, he transferred one million US dollars to these twenty people as reward.
The people from the Eka Group have left, but the Kermeon family estate remains the same, but it has a hint of depression.
On the same day, John Kermeon, who was still wearing thick bandages on his thighs and shoulders, was also discharged from the hospital and returned to the manor.
The two took photos in the living room.
John Kermeon was shot twice. Although they were not in critical positions, the injuries were serious. It was still early to recover. He could only sit in a wheelchair. When he saw Xue Chen, his eyes were filled with anger and a deep feeling.
fear.
After experiencing the incident a week ago, he fully understood how terrifying the oriental young man in front of him was. He was only two meters away from him, and without even moving, all seven bullets were fired. Instead, the stray bullets hit him.
My father was almost beaten to death.
Although he was in the hospital, he also heard the news that 80% of the family's property had been transferred away. It can be said that in addition to the manor at his feet, there were also some antiques in the warehouse that had not been sold and some in the bank.
Twenty to thirty million US dollars in cash, those investment shares, stocks, gold, and real estate have all been lost!
"You can't do this!" John Kermeon banged the wheelchair as hard as crazy, with a crazy face and red eyes staring at Xue Chen sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Edward was slowly walking downstairs with the support of Dawson and Jessica.
Xue Chen looked calm and said in a cold tone: "Then what should I do? I will give your father's life in exchange for half of your family's property. This is a fair transaction without coercion. Your father is alive.
, but you want to shoot me with a gun? From the moment you picked up the gun, the outcome was already doomed, you all asked for it."
Hearing what Xue Chen said, Edward's face darkened as he was walking downstairs. He gritted his teeth and his cheeks trembled slightly. Jessica on the side sighed slightly. She really didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
After going downstairs, Edward sat tremblingly opposite Xue Chen. At first glance, he looked like an aging lion, completely lacking the edge of the past. No one would have thought that the famous Edward Kemei
Ang will look like this.
"After the last time I experienced the containment and interrogation by the Coast Guard at the dock, I knew that they had targeted me. It was difficult for the smuggling business to continue, so now the smuggling business has basically stopped."
Edward's voice was weak and low.
Xue Chen didn't say anything.
"So I put all my energy into legal business, making some investments, stocks, real estate..." The more he continued, the uglier Edward's face became, and his breathing became heavier.
Needless to say, several people present here already know that all legal industries are now in the hands of Xue Chen, which means that the Kemeang family has no way to make money.
"It's impossible for me to go back to my old business now. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison." In the past, he had not made up his mind to completely give up the lucrative business of smuggling antiques, but now he has to give up even if he doesn't.
.
The reason is naturally that the international police and the US Coast Guard are vigorously investigating him, making business difficult, and all the property he has accumulated for most of his life has been taken away. What else can he think about continuing to risk his life to make money?
What's more, in less than half a month, he was shot twice and almost lost his life twice. He was tired.
He is now facing a very serious problem. He can no longer do illegal business, and all legal businesses have been taken away by Xue Chen, which means there is no source of income.
Excluding the smuggled antiques in this manor and warehouse that have not yet been sold, the cash in the bank itself is less than 40 million US dollars. Although this is still a large amount of money, if it is empty, it will not take two or three years.
There will be absolutely nothing left.
His family is extremely famous and spends a lot of money. He has been in the smuggling business for so many years without being arrested because he spends a large sum of money every year to buy Ping An, which amounts to millions of dollars.
In addition, his dozens of subordinates, bodyguards, and thugs also need money to support them, and they cannot be dismissed easily. Without these subordinates, his past enemies will come to kill him every minute.
It is also a huge expense, costing millions of dollars every year.
Then there are the expenses for him and his family. Of course, his past life was extremely luxurious, and spending millions of dollars every year can be considered frugal.
Adding everything together, he has to spend more than ten million US dollars every year, which means that in three years at most, all the remaining cash will be used up.
What situation will he face at that time?
Those high-ranking officials who do not receive his filial piety will be dissatisfied. If they are unhappy, they may get a lawsuit and spend the rest of their lives in jail.
And without the money to gather a large number of subordinates, they will disperse. At that time, a group of people sent by the enemy will probably break in one night and shoot him to death.
Even if the first two situations did not happen, then if he had no money, would he have to live in poverty? Would he be poor until death? He couldn't accept it at all.
Edward had no choice but to tell Xue Chen these words, with a bitter and helpless look on his face, and said: "Mr. Xue, please give me a way to survive."
Jessica pursed her lips and didn't say a word, just frowning slightly. Dawson looked heavy, while John Kermeon trembled all over after hearing it. Every consequence of what his father said just now was difficult for him to accept.
, being thrown into prison, shot dead by his enemies, and living a life of poverty was even more difficult for him to accept.
"how so?!"
He almost broke his teeth. If he had known now, he would not have taken out the gun impulsively. Losing 50% of his property is completely different from losing 80% of his property.
Xue Chen didn't say anything. When Edward finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of way to survive?"
"Let me tell you." Jessica raised her head and looked at Xue Chen, her eyes extremely complicated.
She never thought that this young man who had never been in her eyes would make the entire Kemeon family have to lower their heads.
"Xue Chen, you took away all the legal property, but most of it is fixed property. You should also know very well that it is not easy to take them away. If you sell them, you will suffer huge losses.
Coupled with various taxes and fees, at least half of the cash you receive will be lost, and it is even less likely that you will be able to manage these properties, right?"
"I also know that you have a good relationship with the Eka Group, but even if you entrust them, it will be difficult to manage it well. They are a shipping group and have no experience in operating hotels, restaurants, bars, and dance halls. Once they get involved, they will be affected by other people.
Strong rejection by shareholders..."
"What do you mean?" Xue Chen admitted that there was some truth in what she said.
Speaking of **, it is really not something that ordinary people can get involved in. Although he has obtained the shares now, it would not be easy if he went to a ** in Las Vegas and claimed that he was also a shareholder and wanted to do an accounting.
It's possible, unless he has to take action again, and it's true that he can't stay here forever.
"I hope that you can hand over those industries to us to manage and continue to operate well for you. What we want is 50% of the total annual profits. The industry is still yours. You don't need to do anything every year.
You can get tens of millions of dollars in profits.”
After Jessica said these words, Edward sighed slightly. He used to be the owner of all this, but now he is praying to become the manager.
Xue Chen understood. This was Mao Sui's self-recommendation as a professional manager.
"Xue Chen, the components involved in those industries are very complex. Only if we continue to manage them and negotiate with those partners can we maintain normal operations. This will not cause you to suffer a loss, and no one can replace it."
Jessica's body subconsciously leaned forward slightly, and she looked at Xue Chen nervously. If this cooperation could not be achieved, it would make the situation of the Kemeon family worse and cause more problems in the future.
Xue Chen touched his chin, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, I can agree." (To be continued)
