Yu Shifeng smiled and said, "It's nothing. We were just bored and had a good time after dinner. We were exercising to vent our frustrations with Luo Wanjiang. He locked up the five of us major shareholders here for his own benefit. He's inhuman!" Yu Shifeng casually revealed his identity, but the young man seemed not to hear him and turned over to lie down and sleep again.
Yu Shifeng shook his head awkwardly at Lu Tiannan, meaning that his attempt to attract the Third Young Master's attention had failed.
Lu Tiannan went over and shook the third young master, saying, "Young man, get up and eat. Sleeping all day isn't good."
The third young master rubbed his eyes and got up again, saying, "I still need to chat with Wei tonight. Oh dear, you guys smashed the computer, how am I supposed to chat now!"
Gong Linsheng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, we really hate that bastard Luo Wanjiang to the extreme, so we took it out on his things. You know, the five of us are the major directors of Haifeng Group, holding 20% of the company's shares."
The third young master was absent-minded. "Oh, not bad," he said, then bent down to put on his shoes. His shoes were of an unknown brand and were clearly not high-end, but in the eyes of these five people, they were handcrafted, limited editions from around the world. If a young man were wearing Versace or Louis Vuitton, they might have been suspicious, but the more understated he was, the more they believed him.
Ning Zichen couldn't hold back any longer and asked bluntly, "You don't want the shares we hold?"
The third young master rolled his eyes at him: "What would I do with the stocks you have? Are you just bored?"
Ning Zichen said loudly, "Didn't you say that just now when you were chatting?"
The Third Young Master looked at Ning Zichen with an idiotic gaze and said, "I was just trying to make her happy! The losses I made earlier were due to Luo Wanjiang's actions. Wouldn't it be stupid if I continued to lose money? Anyway, the market will open at the limit down tomorrow, and I can't buy many shares. At that time, I'll have an explanation. She won't be angry with me for this, will she?"
Gao Tian said with concern, "But Luo Wei wants to get controlling stake in Haifeng Group for her father. Don't you want to please her? As long as you make us happy, we'll help you achieve your wish!"
The third young master tied his shoes, stood up, and said, "As long as you make me happy, I will grant your wishes!"
The five men were puzzled. At this moment, the third young master had already started running. They didn't know what his habit was, but he started running first thing after his afternoon nap. The five directors were eager to sell their shares, so they all followed suit. Originally, if only one person had approached the third young master to sell their shares, they could have calmly raised the price. However, each of the five had their own agenda, fearing that others would sell their shares and they would be stuck with them. Therefore, none of them could hold back and they rushed to express their sales intentions.
"Young man, everything is negotiable. Name your price. It's just to make your girlfriend laugh. If she sees that you've bought back so many shares, she might just offer herself to you. Then you'll have a great night."
Yu Shifeng was a master of seduction, so he immediately seized the other party's weakness. Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Third Young Master stopped running, stood still, and asked, "Can you really offer yourself to me and make me feel good?"
Yu Shifeng said with certainty, "Absolutely, I'll still let you dance."
The third young master licked his lips. "Damn, what you said makes me tempted. How much per share?"
Yu Shifeng was somewhat hesitant, since the price hadn't been discussed beforehand. Lu Tiannan chimed in, "500 yuan per share, what do you think?"
The young man said nothing, but started running again. He ran faster and faster, and the five people behind him couldn't keep up at all. Fortunately, after running a few laps, he suddenly sat down at the table and started eating. Yu Shifeng ran over panting, "It's negotiable, it's negotiable. How about 300 yuan per share? We are businessmen too, we should be allowed to make some profit."
The young man pointed at the five people with his chopsticks and said, "I'll buy from whoever offers the lowest price. I'm not short of money, but I don't want to be taken advantage of. The market price has dropped to over eighty yuan now, and I estimate it will be over seventy yuan tomorrow. I'll keep waiting, and I'll buy them all when it's five yuan a share. That woman won't get old anytime soon, so I can't let my dad lose less money."
The five men were nearly bursting with anger. Five yuan? This meant they would lose everything they had invested.
Volume 2 [293] Take whoever is cheapest
The young man didn't say anything and quickly finished his meal. With nothing else to do, he started examining the pile of junk on the ground. The five people watched him, and in less than an hour, he actually managed to fix the computer! However, only half of the LCD screen was lit, but the young man knew how to set it up, and even half of it could display the entire screen at a low resolution.
The five were taken aback. If the Third Young Master were on the news, he probably wouldn't even want a share for five yuan! He's not stupid. People buy stocks just to amuse Luo Wanfeng's daughter. Who would be so foolish as to burn money in there? Even landlords don't have surplus grain.
Lu Tiannan grabbed the young man's hand to stop him from clicking, and said, "Hey kid, can we talk about this again?"
The third young master said, "What else is there to say? You guys go to sleep. I'm going online for a while, otherwise how am I supposed to play?"
Lu Tiannan said, "Let's talk about the price. If you make a concession, we'll make a concession too. That way, everyone's happy, right? As long as we get rid of the stocks and are free of worries, Luo Wanjiang will let us go. Everyone has their own difficulties, right?"
The third young master said bluntly, "You guys were bragging about having 20% in hand, but to tell you the truth, even if the price drops to the daily limit, I still can't afford it. I need to save my money for other things. Whoever offers me the lowest price, I'll just buy a little to show my appreciation. You can't spoil a woman. If you buy her a bunch of nice things at once, she won't appreciate them at all!"
Yu Shifeng quickly said, "I have three percent, which is more than enough to meet your requirements. I can sell it to you for seventy yuan per share, which is equivalent to you buying it when the market opens tomorrow."
Wow, that's quite a move. The price of 500 yuan per share has shrunk to this quickly. The third young master was also very decisive. "Okay, but how do we trade? How am I supposed to know if I'll be cheated? Who knows if you even have any shares? Who am I supposed to ask for them then?"
Yu Shifeng proudly opened his briefcase: "I brought it all. We came here to handle this matter, and we didn't feel comfortable leaving it in the hotel, so naturally we carried it with us. I just need to sign it and add a transfer notice to you, and then the matter will be finalized. We can go and complete the formal transfer whenever we want in the future."
The third young master said, "Alright, sign it."
Yu Shifeng choked for a moment: "You have to give me money. I signed the transfer agreement and it's being transferred to you. If you don't give me money, who am I supposed to complain to?"
The third young master stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your account number, and I'll give it to you. But how do I know if you'll go back on your word later? If we end up in court, you can say I forced you to sign the transfer document."
In order to quickly sell the waste paper in his hand, Yu Shifeng took out his phone and said, "Come on, record this for me. I solemnly swear that I did it voluntarily." There was no cell phone signal here, so no one confiscated it.
The third young master took the documents that Yu Shifeng had taken out of his bag, glanced through them, and said, "They seem to be quite presentable."
Yu Shifeng said, "What do you mean by 'looks real'? This is the real thing!"
The third young master took Yu Shifeng's phone and said, "Alright, I'll record it for you. You can write it down and talk at the same time."
Yu Shifeng remained cautious, "Let me see if you have any money?"
If there's no money in the account and Yu Shifeng foolishly scratches up the documents again, he'll be the one in trouble later.
The third young master immediately opened it, startling the five people. They were afraid he would turn around and go to read the news. Fortunately, he logged into online banking directly. The five wanted to see how he broke through the restrictions, but he operated too fast, and the five guys who were originally from Dianbai couldn't see it at all.
"Five...five hundred million? My God, who...who are you?!" Yu Shifeng, Lu Tiannan, Gao Tian, and the other two were stunned. In fact, their 20% stake was worth far more than that. Haifeng Group was supposedly worth over 10 billion in total assets! Of course, this didn't deduct intangible value and liabilities. In reality, after deducting liabilities, Haifeng Group's true value over the past year was less than 500 million. This value was the fixed asset value on the books, and no one knew how much of that fixed asset actually existed!
The third young master said proudly, "Do I need to tell you who I am?"
Yu Shifeng said, "If you don't tell me who I'm transferring the shares to, I won't miss the opportunity." Seeing the cash in the account, Yu Shifeng naturally wouldn't miss the chance. Although seventy yuan per share was equivalent to losing nearly half, he could still get half of the cash back, so he made a profit!
The third young master thought for a moment and said, "Just write that it's transferred to Luo Wei. If it's transferred to me, I'll have to transfer it to her again, which is too troublesome."
Yu Shifeng said happily, "Okay, take the pictures."
It was just a matter of signing a name and saying a few words, so it was done quickly. However, Yu Shifeng had to respectfully read what he had written in front of the camera like a student, and even raised his fist and swore quite seriously, "I swear that I am selling this part of the shares on a voluntary, fair and just basis, and I have not been coerced by anyone. This transfer agreement is absolutely valid."
The third young master was very satisfied with Shi Feng's performance. He watched the video carefully, then put his phone in his pocket, calculated the price of the three percent of the shares, and then transferred the money directly. When he saw that the transfer was successful, Shi Feng almost fainted with happiness. It was all done. He was finally not going to lose everything. He sat down on the bed with a thud, feeling completely exhausted, as if he had just survived a great battle.
Yu Shifeng set a good example, and his successful transaction boosted the morale of the remaining four. Ning Zichen spoke up before the others, saying, "Third Young Master, it's my turn now. I have four percent of Haifeng Group's shares, which absolutely meets your requirements."
Who knew that the Third Young Master would close his online banking account and say, "What a load of crap! Haifeng Group has already hit the daily limit down. I'll just buy 3% of the shares to tease Luo Wei. I'm really going to lose my life."
Ning Zichen said with a bitter face, "Oh dear, Third Young Master, you can't be biased. You took Yu Shifeng's shares but not mine. That's not fair."
The third young master said domineeringly, "What's wrong with this? It's a matter of one willing to buy and the other willing to sell. I don't want to buy it now, and you still want to force me to buy it?"
Ning Zichen glanced at the men in black at the warehouse entrance. If they weren't guarding him, he would have grabbed the Third Young Master by the neck and forced him to buy his shares at a high price. After thinking for a moment, Ning Zichen said, "Third Young Master, how about this? Yu Shifeng sells them to you for seventy yuan per share, and I can lower the price to sixty-five yuan per share."
Ning Zichen was almost beaten to the ground by Lu Tiannan and Gong Linsheng as soon as he said this. What would happen to the three behind him if he lost his position? However, Lu Tiannan and Gong Linsheng were stopped by the men in black as soon as they made a move. In fact, they could have ignored him and gotten a bullet hole in their butts, but they were afraid of pain, so they obediently let Ning Zichen go.
At this point, Ning Zichen didn't care about anything else. Now that his freedom was restricted, he couldn't go out to find buyers at all. No matter how much he called Luo Wanjiang, he wouldn't come out. Even if he did come out, he probably wouldn't want these worthless papers now. Heaven had sent down a god of wealth. If he missed the opportunity, he would lose this shop and wouldn't be able to get a single penny back.
The third young master didn't care about their fighting at all. He just squinted and said, "Sixty-five yuan. It won't be higher than that when it opens the day after tomorrow. I'll wait until it opens the day after tomorrow before I buy it. I can't spend money like this."
The day after tomorrow? Ning Zichen thought to himself, "I don't even know if the market will open by then." "Sixty! I'm willing to sell for sixty yuan!"
The third young master said with some difficulty, "Alright, I'll reluctantly take it for the sake of the low price. You know the procedure, right? Take out your phone, take pictures of the transaction process, and the phone and documents are yours. Then I'll transfer the money to you."
Ning Zichen said with a relaxed and grateful expression, "I understand, I understand. I have two cell phones, I'll give them both to you. Also, I don't need this bag anymore, I'll give it to you too, it's a crocodile one, I bought it for several thousand back then."
With others as role models, Ning Zichen's procedures were completed quickly. He watched as the funds were transferred into his account. Wiping the sweat from his brow, Ning Zichen went to rest. It was like a long march of 25,000 li, truly exhausting.
Gong Linsheng shoved Lu Tiannan and Gao Tian aside and shouted, "My turn!"
Gao Tian said, "I'm two percent, so I should be the first one. I demand to sell it for seventy yuan!"
The third young master laughed at Gao Tian and said, "You're an idiot, get lost."
Gong Linsheng and Lu Tiannan grabbed Gao Tian's arms on either side and threw him away. Then, the two of them bowed down like lapdogs and sidled up to the Third Young Master: "Third Young Master, how about it? It's our turn now."
The third young master said, "What nonsense! I don't want it anymore. You really think I'm a fool?"
Gong Linsheng said anxiously, "No, you're taking theirs and not mine, isn't that bullying me?"
The third young master said, "I said, this is a fair trade. There is no question of bullying anyone. Who did I bully just now?"
Gong Linsheng said, "Then can I give you a discount too?"
The third young master remained silent, his meaning clear: even if it was cheap, it didn't necessarily have to be yours. Gong Linsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty yuan, I'll offer fifty yuan per share. That's equivalent to the opening price the day after tomorrow. You definitely won't lose out if you buy it!"
Lu Tiannan was unwilling. What if the Third Young Master bought 12% of Gong Linsheng's shares and didn't want his 9% anymore? He immediately shouted, "I'll offer 45 yuan!"
Gao Tian was kicked out of the circle, but he only had two percent of the shares, so he could sell them one by one. Even if he lost more than the other two, he wouldn't lose as much. So he shouted from outside, "I'll offer forty yuan!"
Gong Linsheng's legs started to tremble. If he hadn't been holding onto the table, he would have collapsed to the ground. Although these shares would be worthless in the future, no one could bear to hear the price plummeting.
Lu Tiannan gritted his teeth: "I'll bet thirty-nine!" He didn't dare to lower the price by five yuan directly, so he would lower it one yuan at a time.
Gong Linsheng insisted on not letting himself faint, "I... I'll pay thirty-eight yuan!"
Gao Tian, an outsider who seemed to thrive on chaos, declared: "I'll offer thirty-five yuan!"
Volume 2 [294] Who Deceived Whom?
Lu Tiannan glared at Gao Tian, clearly hating him. "I... I'll offer thirty-four yuan!" He kept lowering the price by one yuan at a time.
Gong Linsheng plopped down on the ground. "Thirty-two yuan!" With a grit of his teeth, Gong Linsheng handed over two yuan.
Gao Tian felt much more relaxed at this moment. The more pathetic Gong Linsheng and Lu Tiannan acted, the more pleased he felt. Damn it, back then they were so arrogant because they had more shares than him, showing off in front of him. Now they know that having more shares isn't necessarily a good thing. It's a pity they realized it too late! Gao Tian shouted loudly, "Thirty yuan!"
"You're ruthless, so am I!" Lu Tiannan said, "Twenty-five yuan!" Since it was just worthless paper anyway, Lu Tiannan didn't care about his life anymore.
Gong Linsheng was foaming at the mouth. He couldn't stand the atmosphere being built up little by little like this. He was muttering something under his breath. The Third Young Master leaned over to listen and said, "What? You're offering ten yuan! Okay, deal. Hurry up and find your documents. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense here."
Gong Linsheng knew in his heart that it was not ten yuan, but twenty yuan. However, when Gao Tian, who was standing outside, heard that the deal was done, he didn't care how much it was. He immediately bowed and scraped and ran over. He was the first to hand over the transfer documents that he had signed earlier. Then he took the initiative to hand over the documents and solemnly swore an oath. After doing all this, he received the money for two percent of the shares in less than two minutes. Gao Tian was overjoyed and secretly thought that he was lucky that he hadn't lost everything.
What could Lu Tiannan say at this point? The other party had already said that the deal would be done at ten yuan. Sell it! Shi Feng got a huge bargain! Even Ning Zichen sold it for sixty yuan a share, which was an astronomical price. Why was he so unlucky?
Gong Linsheng was equally frustrated, foaming at the mouth. When he read the oath, his mouth twitched so much that he could barely speak. He had to repeat it more than ten times before he finally passed. However, when he saw that he still had a considerable amount of income, he comforted himself, thinking that at least it was much more profitable than selling waste paper!
The third young master felt both heartache and a bit smug. He put all the documents into the gifted bag, along with his phone, making it a bulging bag. He really looked like an electricity bill collector. After checking the time, the third young master said, "Gentlemen, you're busy. I have to go home. I might miss the No. 2 bus."
Yu Shifeng had sold it for an astronomical price, so he was in the best mood right now, as if he had made millions in the stock market. He asked, "Third Young Master, where are you going? This place is heavily guarded, and you can't get out of any of the gates. You should just sit down and wait patiently."
The third young master picked up his bag and said, "Do we really have to go through the door? If we didn't go through the door, there wouldn't be any problem. You're so stupid."
The five were completely baffled. Not through the door? Then through the mouse hole? They didn't know how to shrink themselves, and even if they did, they'd have to know how to become invisible. Otherwise, did they think those men in black standing at the door were blind cats? They'd stick their heads in and their butts sticking out, and get shot.
Regardless of what the five men thought, the third young master had already started running. However, his target wasn't the warehouse doors, but the thick wall. The five men were dumbfounded, thinking, "Are you crazy? You didn't have to be so desperate just because you bought some waste paper. Are you planning to bang your head against the wall so soon? If you die, can you get that bag of waste paper back?"
Boom! Just as the Third Young Master was about to crash into the wall, the wall suddenly cracked open as if by the whirlwind of his rapid run. The Third Young Master rushed out of the hole, and by the time the five people adjusted to the intense light streaming in from outside, he had vanished without a trace. He was truly a genius; he really did not use the door as he said he would. Yu Shifeng and the others were greatly impressed.
The black-clad guards seemed oblivious to the Third Young Master's act of breaking down the warehouse door. At first, Lu Tiannan and the others were uneasy, but then Yu Shifeng tried walking towards the hole in the wall, and no one paid him any attention. Suddenly, he managed to escape through the hole! Lu Tiannan and the others were overjoyed and rushed to escape through the large hole they had broken open. Those black-clad men behind them were still foolishly guarding the door; they were so narrow-minded! They only guarded the door, ignoring the hole he'd broken. If they had known this, they would have dug their own tunnel and escaped long ago.
When Lu Tiannan and his four companions escaped back to the city and led the police back along the same route, the warehouse was already a ruin. After being scolded by the police, Lu Tiannan and his companions said all sorts of nice things and even paid for the police's food and drinks. Only then did the police let it go. They said that it was already a favor that they were given the opportunity to lie about military intelligence and not be arrested, and that they were detained for two days.
Lu Tiannan kicked a brick and smashed it: "Damn it, what's going on here?"
Gong Linsheng said, "What else could it be? We've definitely fallen into a trap. Everything changed the moment that guy got the share transfer agreement. Isn't that obvious?"
Yu Shifeng cursed, "What do you know? You always use your own cunning to examine others. Didn't you check it yourself? The money in the account has been deposited. And you've all seen the news outside. Haifeng Group really has had so many problems. It's really going to collapse. Anyway, I'm grateful to the Third Young Master. I don't think he lied to us. On the contrary, we lied to him."
Gong Linsheng slapped his head hard. Everything was indeed as Yu Shifeng said. In fact, they had deceived the Third Young Master. Damn it, if he hadn't overthought things, he might have sold the shares for seventy yuan. And now he hadn't even learned his lesson! Was he going to suffer losses again in the future?
