Chapter 63 Taking Advantage of the Situation, Zheng Jie: 20 Billion, Not a Penny More

Inside the chairman's office of Zheng Group, Father Zheng met with Zheng Jie. At this moment, Zheng Jie could truly be described as high-spirited, wearing a crisp suit with a smile on his face that suggested everything was under his control.

"Did you do this?"

Mrs. Zheng looked at Zheng Jie and asked the question directly without any hesitation. Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.

"To be precise, I didn't do these things; Zheng Tian did them. If Zheng Tian hadn't done these things, how would they have been exposed? Isn't that right?"

Zheng Jie did not answer the question. In fact, he was well aware that the other party already knew it was his doing, but so what? Right now, Zheng Jie just wanted to obtain everything he desired.

"How could you be like this? Zheng Tian is your own older brother. How could you be so ruthless? If you want something, can't we just give it to you? Why, why do you have to humiliate and torture him like this?"

Mrs. Zheng's tone was filled with despair. Watching the despair on Mrs. Zheng's face, Zheng Jie actually really wanted to ask a question: if he were in trouble now, would Mrs. Zheng be this sad? However, Zheng Jie knew that was impossible, because in their hearts, only their eldest son was their son. As for him, the second son—heh—he had absolutely no value.

Father Zheng watched the situation and reached out to pat Mrs. Zheng's shoulder.

"Stop everything you are doing right now."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.

"Well, that's naturally no problem. But the key is whether you can give me everything I want. If you can, then I can certainly help. But if I'm not satisfied, then I can't agree to it. After all, even if I agreed, the people under me wouldn't."

Zheng Jie's meaning was simple: he had invested so much and needed compensation, and that compensation was the shares of Zheng Group held by Father Zheng.

"What do you want?"

"All the shares of Zheng Group you have in your hands."

"You have such big ambitions?"

Father Zheng took a deep breath and said this.

"Hahaha, if others aren't willing to give it to me, what can I do? I have no choice but to take it. But looking at it now, taking it for myself isn't bad, because at the very least, it puts my mind at ease."

Father Zheng understood that Zheng Jie was taking a jab at him, implying that he had previously dragged him down from the position of Chairman of Zheng Group. Thinking of this, Father Zheng took a deep breath.

"I can give them to you, but these shares are very valuable—200 billion. As long as you agree, I can sign the contract with you immediately."

200 billion.

Zheng Jie didn't expect the other party to ask for such an exorbitant price.

Honestly, looking at the current stock price of Zheng Group, the 200 billion they proposed really wasn't expensive. The reason was simple: if one were to buy 40% of Zheng Group at the current stock price, it should be worth at least 1.7 trillion. Getting it for 200 billion now would definitely be a profit.

But unfortunately, Zheng Jie was not prepared to pay that much money. At this moment, Zheng Jie took a deep breath.

"200 billion? You really are asking for an exorbitant price. In reality, we are only considering 20 billion."

"20 billion? Are you crazy? That's impossible."

At this moment, Father Zheng couldn't sit still. 20 billion? What was the difference between this and dirt-cheap? This was simply outrageous. After all, he had already spent 20 billion just to purchase the shares of Su Chemical, and now the other party was only willing to offer 20 billion.

"Not willing? If you're not willing, then there's nothing to be done. Actually, to me, these shares don't have any absolute value. After all, I have already firmly secured my position as Chairman of Zheng Group. But for your Zheng Tian, I'm afraid he won't have as good a mindset as I do."

At this time, Zheng Jie raised his head and looked at Father Zheng.

"If nothing goes wrong, you should have already contacted a lawyer. The lawyer should have already told you what the outcome will be if Zheng Tian goes out. So, if you can bear to watch Zheng Tian become a eunuch, then I can naturally bear it too."

Zheng Jie's tone was calm, without any tension. Hearing this, the couple looked at each other. At this moment, they had to admit that Zheng Jie's words had hit their weak spot exactly, because in their eyes, their eldest son was more important than their own lives.

"Are you threatening me?"

"What else? What else would I be doing? Catching up with you?"

At this time, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.

"You... you are a villain."

"People have always said that, but so what? I just need to get what I want. As for the rest, I don't care."

Zheng Jie's attitude was firm.

Shares in exchange for Zheng Tian.

If the other party didn't agree, Zheng Jie would directly arrange for people to send Zheng Tian abroad to face trial.

Abroad, Zheng Jie could do whatever he wanted.

"Zheng Jie, you really can't do this. This is your brother. Even if you had conflicts in the past, at the very least, you came from the same womb."

"Even if we had conflicts? No, no, no. In reality, he and I don't have any conflicts..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Jie raised his head.

"Because I have a conflict of interest with the entire Zheng family."

"My word stands here."

"Either you agree, and let your son come out."

"Or you don't agree, and in the end, I will make your son a eunuch."

"So... which of these two choices will you choose?"

Zheng Jie looked at the other party, his eyes full of mockery.

20 billion.

This was the price Zheng Jie quoted at the beginning. In reality, Zheng Jie's bottom line was 30 billion. As long as it didn't exceed that number, it was fine. If he could secure it for 20 billion, then for Zheng Jie, it would be a huge profit.

At this moment, the two of them listened to Zheng Jie's words, their faces filled with hesitation.

They were clear that Zheng Jie was profiteering from a crisis. But even though they knew it, they couldn't say much, because right now, they had absolutely no leverage.

"If we agree to your terms, this charge of forced intercourse in the country..."

"I will resolve it well,"

Zheng Jie nodded and said.

Hearing this, Father Zheng took a deep breath and asked.

"Is it really just this price?"
