131: Chapter 131 Unreasonable Demands

Chen Guangke's eyes widened again.

Fuchen Enterprise was the company Shen Yan had founded single-handedly, and it was also the company Chen Ling had recently left.

He hadn't expected Shen Yan to be so eager to swallow the company he had founded.

“Isn’t it a bit too hasty to think about taking over Fuchen right now?”

Hearing Chen Guangke's question, Shen Yan replied to him, “I don’t think it’s hasty. I believe now is the best time.”

Wu Ya said from the side, “But Fuchen is a listed company no matter what. Our company doesn’t have that big an appetite; we can’t swallow it whole.”

It was true that Fuchen Enterprise was a listed company, but not all listed companies were powerful; it depended on their operational status.

If their operational status was so poor that they were close to bankruptcy, then they would have enough appetite to swallow it.

He explained his thoughts to Chen Guangke and Wu Ya.

After listening, the two of them asked in unison, “So, you plan to do something to make the operational status of the listed company Fuchen Enterprise so bad that it’s close to collapse?”

Shen Yan snapped his fingers and laughed, replying, “As expected of you two, you guessed my thoughts immediately.”

“My plan is to make Fuchen face a capital chain rupture due to improper investment within half a month, leading it to near bankruptcy.”

Chen Guangke rubbed his temples.

“Fine. If your plan really succeeds and we really swallow Fuchen Enterprise, then what?”

“Then we’re going to start the Artificial Intelligence and semiconductor projects?”

“We are all people in this industry. You can’t possibly not know how much money the Artificial Intelligence and semiconductor projects burn through.”

Shen Yan certainly knew that Artificial Intelligence and semiconductor projects were extremely capital-intensive. He said to Chen Guangke, “Don’t worry. Since I’ve decided to pursue the Artificial Intelligence and semiconductor projects, I have a certain level of confidence in these two projects.”

“I just want to ask you one question: Are you willing to support me in taking over Fuchen Enterprise?”

Hearing this, Chen Guangke rolled his eyes, feeling that Shen Yan was talking nonsense. “Aren’t you just talking nonsense to me?”

“If you really want to take over Fuchen, how could we possibly not support you?”

Wu Ya nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. As long as it’s something you want to do, both of us will support you.”

Shen Yan laughed heartily.

“Very good. Then this matter is settled. Starting today, our plan moving forward is to take over Fuchen!”

Chen Guangke sighed, picked up his computer, and stood up, saying, “It’s always like this. I can never argue you down, no matter how many times. Forget it, whatever you say goes.”

“I’m going back to work first. If you have any next steps, let me know. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

Shen Yan nodded, and then Wu Ya and Chen Guangke left the conference room together.

Seeing them leave, he returned to his own office.

Taking over Fuchen Enterprise was his primary goal.

Next, he needed to figure out how he could make Fuchen Enterprise approach bankruptcy liquidation.

After browsing Fuchen Enterprise’s official website online,

Shen Yan decided to contact He Yunri.

He Yunri hadn't had a scandal erupt yet, so he could consult the other party for advice.

Moreover, he needed to sort out the relationship between the company’s projects and He Yunri.

Thinking this, he dialed He Yunri’s number.

He called two or three times continuously, but the other party did not answer his calls.

Just as he was considering whether to send the other party a text message, the other party proactively sent him one.

“Are you free now? If you are, come over to my villa.”

Seeing this text message, Shen Yan replied without hesitation.

“I’m on my way now.”

After replying to the text, he drove to He Yunri’s private villa.

When he arrived, he found that He Yunri was not leisurely sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and wine like usual, but was sitting in the pavilion looking quite downcast.

“Mr. He.”

He called out to the other party.

The other party saw him immediately wave, signaling him to come over and sit down.

“I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.”

Shen Yan laughed and replied, “I happened to have nothing on hand, so I thought I’d come find you first.”

He Yunri nodded, then said, “Actually, the main reason I asked you to come today is to discuss the matter between me and your company’s projects.”

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow, feigning a look of great surprise.

“Mr. He, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to pursue our company’s projects?”

He Yunri certainly didn't mean that.

Due to some issues, he was severely short of cash right now and urgently needed to cash out to purchase real estate to stabilize his assets. How could he possibly still pursue Shen Yan’s company projects?

“Not exactly. I just wanted to ask, how much profit has your company’s project made so far?”

Shen Yan shook his head and smiled faintly, “Mr. He, are you perhaps joking with me? The company’s project hasn’t been running for very long, so how could there be any profit yet?”

“If you are asking about the profit sharing, I suggest you can wait until the end of next month to check.”

He Yunri simply couldn't wait that long.

He thought for a moment, gave an awkward laugh, and said to Shen Yan, “It’s like this, you know I’ve been buying property recently, right?”

“Recently, I’ve been lacking some liquid funds and want to receive my share early.”

“Of course, I know my request is a bit difficult for you. How about this, just give me ten percent of the profit share in advance.”

Shen Yan blinked, putting on an expression of difficulty.

“Mr. He, I can understand your feelings, but the profitability data for the project hasn’t even come out yet. How can I give you a ten percent share?”

He Yunri stated firmly, “I have seen your project data. Based on the project data your company has provided me so far, the profit from this project will be at least in the eight figures going forward.”

“My demand isn’t much. Just give me five million.”

Asking for five million right off the bat—truly wishful thinking.

Shen Yan thought to himself while maintaining a professional smile.

“That amount is indeed not much, but the final data for the software hasn't come out yet, so I can’t give you that much money right now.”

“How about this, why don't you wait another two days? When the data comes out at the end of next month, I will give you the agreed-upon profit share...”

Before he could finish speaking, He Yunri impatiently interrupted him.

“Didn't I already say it? I'm short on liquid funds right now, I can't wait that long!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan immediately fell silent.

He Yunri also sensed that his attitude had become a bit too forceful.

He cleared his throat and softened his tone, “I don’t mean to deliberately make things difficult for you, it’s just that I really lack liquid funds right now. You understand what I mean, right?”
