Chapter 1282: Share Auction
When he woke up the next day, it was already noon.
The two quite large beds in the room had already been combined, and the four of them were snuggled together. Except for Lin Tian, the other three were still sleeping soundly.
Lin Tian shifted his body slightly and found Liou Qingcheng’s leg was on top of him. He reached out his hand and slowly moved her leg to the other side, intending to sit up, but even this small movement woke her up.
Liou Qingcheng looked at Lin Tian in a daze, suddenly remembering the madness of last night, her whole face turned as red as an apple. Thinking back, Liou Qingcheng couldn’t understand why she joined in their craziness, it was simply too absurd.
Thinking of this, Liou Qingcheng reached out and pinched Lin Tian’s waist as a way to vent.
Lin Tian chuckled indifferently, and instead patted Qingcheng on the butt, smilingly said, "The sun’s already shining on your butt, let’s get up and eat something. By the way... after all the fuss last night, can you still walk now?"
Liou Qingcheng’s eyes glared roundly and she said, "You were the one exhausted last night, you’re the one who can’t walk!"
"You actually doubt your husband’s prowess, do you want to try again now?"
Liou Qingcheng quickly covered her chest with the quilt, glaringly said, "You dare?!"
Though last night was ridiculous, fortunately, it was with the lights off; thinking back still made one’s face flush. Moreover, it was broad daylight now, no way she would engage in debauchery with him in the daytime!
After the four of them dressed properly, they all left the room and headed downstairs. Unexpectedly, everyone else was already up, sitting in the lobby on the first floor, drinking tea and chatting. Seeing Lin Tian leading the three women downstairs, their faces showed strange smiles, their eyes full of amusement roving over them.
Li, crossing his legs, asked with a chuckle, "You guys got up too late, did you go stealing last night?"
"Hahaha, must’ve been stealing, a flower thief no less!"
...
After Wang Daoran was arrested, he was immediately put on trial, facing heavy charges such as gambling, drug trafficking, and tax evasion that combined to a definite death sentence!
Additionally, Zhou the secretary, and the most severely involved personnel faced the death penalty, with the least also suffering more than ten years of imprisonment.
The news quickly spread to all major ancient martial arts families, and naturally, the Wang Family learned early on.
No one was surprised by this result; it was expected. After committing so many crimes, how could one escape?
The Ancient Martial the Wang Family didn’t rescue him at all since the matter escalated too much; avoiding involvement was their priority, how could they dare get involved?
Some were happy, some were worried. Those happy, aside from Lin Tian and Bai Shishi, included various ancient martial arts families. Since they already broke away from the Wang Family, the sight of such an outcome stirred their minds—Wang Group was a big juicy piece of meat, who wouldn’t want a bite?
But this wasn’t easy, as behind Wang Group is the Ancient Martial the Wang Family, supported further by their backers. Provoking them might bring huge trouble, possibly leading to "the gunshot to the bird leading the flock."
No one wanted to be that bird; everyone was observing the situation.
Two days passed quickly and some couldn’t hold back anymore: the Tan Family, the Yue Family, the Xu Family, and the Li Family started targeting the Wang Family’s sales channels, poaching high-level executives, and laying bait-and-switch traps that would lead to a series of collapses if a single step went wrong.
Presently, Wang Daoran is half-dead, and Wang Group has switched its chairman to Wang Mingqing, also surnamed Wang, who previously held the titles of CEO and vice chairman, serving as a pawn from the Ancient Martial the Wang Family, holding shares. The impressive PR battle a couple of days ago was orchestrated by him.
Speaking of Wang Mingqing, he is rather smart, aware that the company is being targeted by various forces, so every move is extremely cautious, every decision thoroughly thought through, working exhaustively without pause.
This day early in the morning, Jian Qicai, an entertainment company’s shareholder and deputy general manager, dressed formally with his secretary, arrived at Wang Mansion to acquire Wang’s Film and Television.
Wang Mingqing knew that entertainment company was something trash son of Wang Daoran’s toying with, sounding highbrow as an entertainment company but realistically just a place to play with pretty models.
Now Wang Daoran is in prison, Wang Sicong is dead. Wang Mingqing is overwhelmed with issues, couldn’t care less about the entertainment company, instead assigned a higher-up to negotiate with Jian Qicai, aiming for a reasonable price for a direct sale.
In Wang Mingqing’s eyes, "reasonable price" isn’t cheap at all. If it was before, Jian Qicai might hesitate repeatedly, but now supported by funding from Qiansimei and Bai Family, he became more confident and straightforwardly acquired the company.
Back at Jiang Pan Die’s concert celebration, Jian Qicai and Lin Tian met, discussing how to engulf the entertainment company. Initially, thinking of fishing in troubled waters, secretly defame and hide some famous internet celebrities first, then acquire it for a lower price.
Yet, after so many twists, turns, and complications, no one cared about this entertainment company at all, and it was easily acquired without needing any tactics.
For Wang Group, the entertainment company was just a minor episode; Wang Mingqing didn’t concern himself with it. What he did care about was the auction for 12% of Wang Group’s shares.
Twelve percent of the shares!
As soon as Wang Mingqing found out, he was determined to reclaim them at any cost!
Currently, it’s a tumultuous period, Wang Mingqing must ensure every step is secure. If those shares fell into others’ hands, it’d be a bomb for Wang Group—who knows if someone would exploit it?
What’s more infuriating is that these shares were given away by Wang Daoran, the idiot, without asking for a penny! Was his head kicked by a donkey?
The auction for shares will be held the next day, besides Wang Mingqing being present, he saw many familiar faces, all doing well in the business circle—they weren’t there just to watch, they wanted a piece of the action too!
In addition, Wang Mingqing spotted many unfamiliar faces, some were coal bosses, some foreign enterprises, and others... representatives sent by ancient martial arts families! All sorts of people appeared, giving immense pressure to Wang Mingqing, with a sense of impending doom!
