Chapter 1067 - 430: Bluff One, Scare One
No need to mention the specific events of the drinking session with women; nobody’s really interested in that anyway.
In short, Old Wang handled things quite smoothly.
The next day, as soon as Han Lie got to work, a young man from the inspection team came over with some documents.
Han Lie flipped through the materials but didn’t say anything at the time.
Directing government officials is not something he’d overestimate himself to do.
Later, he discreetly conveyed his specific requirements to the guy with a square face.
That very afternoon, the inspection team withdrew.
Gao Diaomao was overjoyed and nearly put Han Lie on a pedestal.
"President Han, your skills are unmatched! Thank you, thank you so much! I’m so grateful... I must have ancestors looking out for me to have met someone like you..."
His flattery was useless, and Han Lie was blunt: "When will the 5% of shares be transferred?"
Gao Diaomao hesitated and asked, "Well, the inspection team hasn’t given any penalties yet..."
"The day after the shares are transferred, you’ll receive a notice. At most, it’ll be a warning, and it won’t be made public."
Han Lie was rather assertive: "Do it quickly; the other side won’t wait."
Gao Diaomao gritted his teeth and endured.
Although the inspection team had left, the issue remained, and only Han Lie could save him now; he couldn’t afford to play any tricks.
"Alright, I’ll handle the share transfer tomorrow!"
Han Lie was so skillful in handling things that Gao Diaomao could only endure the pain, and transferred an additional 5% of shares to him—from his own holdings.
After the deal was done, he and his wife were left with only 39.2% of the shares.
Duan Xiaofeng kept nagging as a result: "The damn bastard, the company we worked so hard to build was taken over by some little pipsqueak and scoundrel who seized 25% of the shares... Useless, living like a dog even past fifty?!"
Gao Diaomao was so angry that his head was buzzing.
"What are you talking about? Didn’t he help you out? That guarantee and penalty would have cost us a fortune! Besides, Xiao Shen still holds 11% of the shares, and Xiao Long holds 0.8%, leaving us with a total of 51%. What are you worried about?!"
While the couple argued, Gao Shen snuck into Han Lie’s company with a crafty look.
"God Lie, about the investment in my company..."
Han Lie was straightforward: "I’ll first transfer 20 million for you, is that enough?"
Gao Shen replied with a pained expression: "Brother, dear brother, 20 million is nowhere near enough. I’ve got to set things up, develop software, advertise... all my money’s tied up right now, Bai Yuqiu is determined to fight a divorce case, and she’s found some incredible lawyer..."
Han Lie almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Bai Yuqiu’s lawyer was the most famous divorce lawyer in the Magic Capital, a partner at Jindu.
Liu Minghao that guy is so sly and tricky; he didn’t even use his own firm’s lawyer, instead found a divorce witch among schoolmates, then hid behind to supervise the judge...
"Okay then, I’ll add another 30 million... but how do we handle the equity?"
Han Lie acted generously, which moved Gao Shen to tears, feeling like God Lie was even more considerate than his own father.
But still, Gao Shen had a mind filled with little schemes.
"Brother, God Lie, Teacher Han, could the money be considered a loan? Wasn’t my Gao Yuan Real Estate’s equity agreed to be valued at 125 million? You can deduct it from there later..."
Han Lie gave him a sidelong glance: "The auditors just left, do you know the current net assets of Gao Yuan Real Estate?"
Gao Shen actually knew, reluctantly, he said: "After paying back the loan, there’s still 2.4 billion left... A 5.5% stake, that’s 132 million... I only calculated 125 million for you..."
Wow!
You’re actually quite keen when it comes to the small figures...
Han Lie couldn’t be bothered to haggle over that bit of money with him, so he quickly thought of a solution.
"Forget it, no more lending. Just sign a contract to purchase the shares, I’ll pay you 125 million all at once, and then you can easily hand over that remaining 5.5% to Sister Bai, don’t wait for a court ruling."
Gao Shen recoiled, muttering: "I can’t make that decision, my dad won’t allow it..."
Han Lie had no patience: "Do you want the money or not?"
Your own dad is your dad, isn’t God Lie your dad too?!
"I do, I do, I do!"
Gao Shen’s online lending company was already primed and ready, he couldn’t afford to delay, and when he heard the word money, he caved instantly.
So he racked his brains and came up with a plan quickly.
"How about this: later on, I’ll leave the documents for my Hong Kong Island Company at home. You can ask Bai Yuqiu to find some time and go copy the originals, then take them to show the lawyer...
Her lawyer is like a pervert, surely he can help her take half of it.
If my dad asks later, don’t give me away; it’s Bai Yuqiu herself who found it out!"
Damn!
You’re really something...
Han Lie finally understood the saying "selling your grandfather’s land without a care," and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Gao Shen.
"Brilliant! I don’t know if I should praise you for having a conscience or scold you for losing it..."
Gao Shen stuck his neck out and justified himself: "That can’t be blamed on me! I worked hard to develop the company, and whenever he’s upset, he just withdraws all the cash. Does he treat me like a son? Treats me like a puppet! I’m already over thirty!"
Ah, right, right, right, you’re absolutely right.
Han Lie was not only uninterested in arguing with Gao Shen, he even chimed in a couple of times.
"President Gao does have a somewhat indescribable approach to educating children and respecting others, his character is hard to change, so it’s best not to confront him head-on. Just find a way around it!
Let’s settle first, build strength, lay low for now, and when the time comes to amaze the world, he will naturally reassess you and himself..."
