Chapter 1154 Blackmail
Although Zhuoyu Group has a market value of more than 50 billion, and Yao Guangting is also the boss of this large group, this does not mean that he really has more than 50 billion in money.
Zhuoyu Group has been listed for a long time, and now Yao Guangting's share in the group is only 37%.
Of course, even so, he is a billionaire in name only.
It’s just that most of his net worth, a billionaire, lies in these shares of the company. In addition, his total personal assets certainly do not exceed 1 billion.
And most of this 1 billion is real estate, such as a few houses, shops and the like.
The deposit in his personal account really does not exceed 200 million. Of course, it is impossible to withdraw 200 million in cash at once.
Zhuoyu Group has so much liquidity on its books, and he has the right to use it, but it can only be used for public use, not private use, otherwise it would be illegal. After all, it is a joint-stock listed company, not his own sole proprietorship.
Unless he borrows money from his own company in his own name and has to pay interest and repay it when due.
In Yao Guangting's expectation, no matter how ruthless Chen Feng was, the asking price would only be 100 million.
As a result, Chen Feng is now asking for 200 million, which is twice as much as he expected.
This is really like treating him like a fat pig to be slaughtered!
"Boss Chen, can this... be less? I really can't afford so much cash right now."
In the end, Yao Guangting could only plead in a low voice.
Chen Feng was unmoved and sneered: "Think about your son. If he is convicted, what awaits him is the death penalty. You said that your son is innocent, but some things are not If you are innocent, you can really get away with it. Everything depends on evidence. Your son has been stolen. Even if he cannot be sentenced to death, he can at least be sentenced to more than ten years in exchange for your son being spared more than ten years of imprisonment, or even being spared. One death. Do you think it’s a good deal?”
Yao Guangting was silent.
If you go by what Chen Feng said, spending 200 million to buy his son's life is indeed a good deal.
It’s just that this is 200 million! Even though he has a net worth of tens of billions, he is still in pain.
"Boss Chen, look at 100 million, is that okay? I really can't come up with 200 million in cash in a short time."
There is no other way, Yao Guangting can only request again, with a very humble tone .
Back then, he came from an ordinary family and started as a buyer in a state-owned factory. After more than thirty years of hard work, he achieved his current career and achievements.
So, even though he has a net worth of tens of billions, he is still able to bend and stretch. He will bow his head when he needs to, be soft when he needs to, and plead when he needs to plead. It's not like he's never done this before.
Of course, this was mainly because his son's weakness was being taken advantage of, and it was related to his son's life and death, so he had to be humble.
"Boss Yao, you really know how to bargain, just cut it in half." After Chen Feng joked, he said in a deep voice, "I said 200 million, it's 200 million. You can't get it out in a short time. , I will give you some time, but not more than a month. Don’t tell me that you are a billionaire, and you will do it within a month. Can’t come up with 200 million? If you really can’t come up with it, don’t say such big words to my girlfriend before, let alone harass me and the people around me again.”
Yao Guangting couldn’t help but feel this. He closed his eyes and the hand holding the phone turned white unconsciously. He knew that Chen Feng would not give up the price.
After Yao Guangting took a deep breath, he stopped bargaining with Chen Feng, regained the magnanimity that a billionaire should have, and said in a deep voice: "I can mobilize 200 million in cash for you within a month, but can you guarantee it? Let my son be acquitted within a week?"
After thinking about it, Chen Feng said: "If your son is really innocent, a star He will definitely be cleared of suspicion and released within this period, and it may not even take a week." Yao Guangting made a quick decision and said, "That's okay, as long as you can get my son off the hook within a week, I will do it in two. I’ll send you 200 million within the week.”
“Refreshing!” Chen Feng sincerely praised him. This is how generous a billionaire should be.
Following Chen Feng he chuckled again and said: "You don't have to call me this money. In fact, this money is not what I want. As long as you donate the 200 million to the Colorful Childhood Charity Fund when the time comes, it will be fine. It was founded by the famous star Yang Ziying, and its main purpose is to help patients. For children who are seriously ill and have no money to treat them, if you donate this money, you can save the lives of many children. This is a great merit. In order to make you feel better, if you donate then, you can use it in your own name, or you can donate it. The name of the company is fine.”
Hearing what Chen Feng said, Yao Guangting felt much better immediately.
Originally, if the 200 million yuan were directly given to Chen Feng, he would definitely have to pay for it out of his own pocket. But now that Chen Feng said this, he could donate to the charity fund in the name of his company without having to pay out of his own pocket. .
Charitable donations made by companies are tax deductible, and can also enhance the brand's social visibility, win public favor, etc.
This is much better than giving the money directly to Chen Feng.
At the same time, Yao Guangting also had to admire Chen Feng's generosity. He actually gave up 200 million yuan. Even if he were a billionaire like him, it would be difficult to directly donate the 200 million he could get.
"Boss Chen is really a kind-hearted person, and I am ashamed of myself. Then I can use the name of our Zhuoyu Group to donate to the charity fund you mentioned. Do you think that's okay?"
"No. The problem is, as long as the money is in place."
"Okay. Boss Chen, that's what we've settled on. I hope you can keep your word and rescue my son as soon as possible."
"Well, as long as he is innocent, he will be released soon. ”
“Okay, I’m sorry to bother you.”
"Let's just say that, just wait for the news. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The matter was settled, and the two quickly hung up the phone.
Chen Feng couldn't help but have a smile on his face. This was 200 million. Even though he now regarded money as dirt, he knew that so much money could do a lot of things.
Of course, one of the reasons why he is happy is that he can have so much money to do charity to help children in need.
More importantly, the money was stolen from Yao Guanyu and his father.
It’s the happiest thing to spend other people’s money to do good deeds.
After Yao Guangting hung up the phone, his face darkened.
Although he can use the company's account for the 200 million, and he does not have to pay for it alone, which can save him a lot of money, but he is the boss of Zhuoyu Group after all, and the biggest boss is still He came out
In addition, this time was actually Chen Feng's blackmail against him.
And with so much money, it's strange that he can be in a good mood.
He sat on the sofa in the hotel suite. After pondering for a while, his ugly face softened slightly.
Then he took out his cell phone and called his secretary.
His secretary has been with him for more than ten years. He is best at dealing with all kinds of people and has strong public relations skills.
Otherwise, he was not familiar with the place in Xiuzhou this time, so it was really difficult to get started at once. It was precisely because of the help of this secretary that he made many friends here so quickly. "Friend", and quickly established a relationship with Chen Feng. "How's it going over there?"
Yao Guangting asked in a calm tone, but there was some expectation in his heart.
In the morning, he sent his secretary to the relevant departments to inquire about his son and try to find some ways.
The secretary quickly replied: "The situation is not optimistic. The police have not found the real source of this batch of white noodles, from the hotel parking lot to other parking lots. Anyway, this car has been on show in the past two days. Wherever the state stayed, as long as there was surveillance, the police called them, but none of them Found. Now Xiuzhou police suspect that this batch of white noodles may have flowed in from outside the city, and are contacting our police in Yuezhou to assist in the investigation.” Was he put into a car when we were in Yuezhou?”
The secretary reminded: "It is possible. However, it is also possible that someone was stuffed in on the way from Yuezhou to Xiuzhou."
Yao Guangting frowned and said: "They came by the highway, except Apart from stopping at the expressway service station on the way, there shouldn’t be any stops.” Kilometers, if they want to, they can temporarily get off the highway."
Yao Guangting asked, "Do you think they might have gotten off the highway?"
The secretary hesitated and said, "That's right." Although this possibility is small, it does exist. If Mr. Yu is really innocent, we'd better remind him to cooperate with the police investigation as much as possible."
"Xiaoyu is not stupid, he must know this."
"How about I try to see him and give him a few words in person." The secretary suggested.
"Is there any way you can see him?" Yao Guangting asked.
"Of course, we hired a lawyer, and I have now established a relationship with a section chief here. As long as the other party is a little accommodating, I can act as the lawyer's assistant and I can see Yu Shao "
"Okay, go and tell him. Try to recall the place and time when the drug may have been hidden in this car, and then tell the police immediately."
"Well, I understand."
"Then I'll wait for the good news from you."
......
Hung up the phone with the secretary, he took The phone moved back and forth in the room for a while, and then I called Tsai Chi-xin again.
"Boss Yao, what do you say?" Cai Zhixin asked lazily.
Yao Guangting pretended to be happy and said: "Boss Cai, it's like this. Chen Feng has agreed to help, thanks to your suggestion. It seems that those two women are still very influential in his company."
"Did he really agree to help you?" Cai Zhixin was a little surprised.
“Yes, he agreed. Of course, he said that he would only help if my son was innocent. In addition, he asked for 200 million in hard work fees.”
“ What? Two hundred million?" Cai Zhixin couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although he was not short of money, for such a thing, Yao Guangting suddenly offered 200 million, which really shocked him.
Yao Guangting sighed softly and said: "This money is a bit too much, but for my son, I can only pay it. Oh, by the way, Chen Feng meant that I should donate this money to the Colorful Childhood Charity Fund, saying It was founded by the big star Yang Ziying, do you know?”
Hearing the news, Cai Zhixin couldn’t help but open his mouth slightly, but this time he didn’t scream in surprise, it was just not good. He asked angrily: "My brother, does he mean to donate all the 200 million?"
"Yes, he donated all of it to this charity fund. He is really generous. However, this charity fund is Is there anything to say? "
There are many people laundering money with charity funds in foreign countries. Although this kind of thing is almost extinct in China, it cannot be said that it is not at all. He still needs to ask clearly.
At the same time, of course, I also want to know more inside information about Chen Feng from Cai Zhixin. For example, Chen Feng designated him to donate money to Yang Ziying’s charity fund this time, which shows that Chen Feng and Yang Ziying have a close relationship.
Otherwise, if you put yourself in your shoes, would you donate so much money to a charity fund without seeking fame or fortune?
"What do you think of the charity fund run by Yang Ziying? I also know that this foundation did not accept external donations before, just to avoid unnecessary trouble. But recently this charity fund also Slowly began to accept donations from outside Yes, but the donors are strictly vetted, and they are not accepted just because you donate money. As far as I know, they are all close friends with Yang Ziying, and most of them are people in the entertainment industry.”
"Then her charity foundation is really doing good things? "
"Of course, otherwise do you think they are doing fake charity or money laundering? Yang Ziying's charity fund is a real charity. Although it has only been established for a short time, it has already saved many children. life. I still admire her for this. My brother has a good relationship with her and knows that she is really doing charity, so of course he supports her."
"Isn't his relationship with the big star Yang Ziying a bit too good? 200 million, he gave it as he said.”
"Hey! Do you think 200 million is a lot? My brother really wants to make money. Believe it or not, he can earn so much in a day or two. He is no longer interested in money. At most, he is interested in beautiful women. "
"Is it impossible to earn so much in one or two days? No one can rob a bank that fast." Yao Guangting expressed doubts.
"Believe it or not, this is a fact. Many businesses and investments in this world are more profitable than robbing banks."
"This is true, such as stock trading and gambling. If If you make the right bet, you can indeed earn a lot."
"...Okay, is this why you called me this time?"
"I mainly want to tell you that what I said before is true. As long as Chen Feng can help my son get out of trouble quickly this time, the benefits I promised you will not be less."
Cai Zhixin said this. He listened and immediately said with a smile: "I believe in your integrity. After all, you will give 200 million to my brother by then, so my little money will be nothing."
"Haha , that’s what happened. Yao Guangting smiled and then asked, "How sure do you think Boss Chen Feng can save my son this time?"
Cai Zhixin said with a smile: "If your son is really innocent, My brother is 100% able to rescue him, and he should be able to do so quickly."
Yao Guangting's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Does your brother have any very powerful connections?"
< br>
"Haha, I'm not very clear about this."
Cai Zhixin is not stupid. Even if he knows the mysterious background and backing of Chen Feng, he will not tell others easily, not to mention that he doesn't know how to do it now. knew.
“You don’t know, why did you say so absolutely just now?”
“Because there have been many examples before that proved my brother’s power. So, just relax, maybe tomorrow , even your son was released tonight."
"Thank you for your good words."
