215: Wang Shaojun: John? Who's that?
Hearing Wang Shaojun's praise, Wei Jinhua smiled awkwardly.
However, the other party wasn't wrong; he did look younger than before.
This might be because the pressure on his shoulders has lessened significantly. With the Heavenly Palace Group's backing, the Yuanyang Group has been smooth sailing. Not only that, its market value has soared, now exceeding one hundred billion.
This shows how terrifying Wang Shaojun's influence is. Now he might understand why the other party had said that the Heavenly Palace Group would never go public.
As it stands, if it were to go public, it would definitely be a heavyweight bomb, its potential brimming with infinite possibilities.
Looking at the awkward smile on Wei Jinhua's face, Wang Shaojun did not dwell on the topic, as he had only mentioned it casually.
He slowly uttered one word, "Sit!"
He then sat down on the couch beside the coffee table and reached out to take the tea handed to him by the Maidservant, taking a sip.
Seeing this, Wei Jinhua pulled his son to sit across from him.
Instead of making small talk, Wang Shaojun stated directly, "I want the Yuanyang Group shares you hold. President Wei, how much money do you need to sell them, or what are your conditions?"
Wei Tianan, who wanted to act like a puppet, choked on the tea he had just drunk upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected the other party to want all the Yuanyang Group shares, nor had he heard his father mention it before they came.
He thought they were just coming for a visit; who knew it was for a share transfer?
The Yuanyang Group was his father's pride. If it were anyone else, he thought his father definitely wouldn't sell, but the person in front of him was the boss of the Heavenly Palace Group, which was a different matter entirely, as the other party was certainly not short of money.
And since the Yuanyang Group is a listed group, if the other party wanted to do something, it would just take one word.
What Wei Tianan didn't know was that Wei Jinhua currently held 0.5% of the Heavenly Palace Group's shares.
The quantity of the shares wasn't the most important thing; what mattered most was that he was the only shareholder of the Heavenly Palace Group besides Wang Shaojun.
Facing Wang Shaojun's inquiry, Wei Jinhua silently shook his head. "President Wang, you jest. How dare I propose conditions to you? Furthermore, without you, the Yuanyang Group's market value would not have broken one hundred billion in such a short time, which counts as fulfilling a long-cherished wish of mine."
A Hundred Billion Group!
This was his wish, but he never expected that a lifetime of hard work was worth less than Wang Shaojun's name alone.
Thinking of this, he felt that Wang Shaojun's future achievements were immeasurable, and he was fortunate to be the Heavenly Palace Group's sole shareholder.
"President Wang, how about this? Let's not talk about conditions. For me, that 0.5% share in the Heavenly Palace Group is worth more than the entire Yuanyang Group. So, for the remaining Yuanyang Group shares I hold, just give me a few hundred million."
When Wei Tianan heard his father's words, he sighed inwardly, marveling at his father's audacity.
Wait, what did his father just say?
He owns shares in the Heavenly Palace Group? He had never heard his father mention this.
As for Wang Shaojun, he hadn't expected Wei Jinhua to be so generous. One must know that, given the current market value of the Yuanyang Group, the shares in his hands were worth tens of billions, even if there was a lot of inflation.
But undeniably, they couldn't be purchased for just a few hundred million or a few billion.
This made him look at Wei Jinhua with new respect. He turned to Wei Tianan and smiled, "President Wei, is this your son?"
Hearing Wang Shaojun proactively mention Wei Tianan, Wei Jinhua was ecstatic. Wasn't he practically giving away the shares for the sake of his son?
Although he had met Wang Shaojun a few times, that was all; they couldn't even be considered friends.
Wei Tianan is Wang Xiaochen's classmate. Using this connection, if he could attach himself to the Wang Family, he would be willing to give away the Yuanyang Group shares for free.
To outsiders, he was a crazy gambler.
"Tian'an, hurry up and greet President Wang."
Hearing this, Wei Tianan was about to stand up, but Wang Shaojun raised a hand to stop him, saying with a smile, "No need to stand. Just stay seated."
"Thank you, Brother Jun!"
Wei Tianan said this while awkwardly scratching the back of his head.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jinhua, sitting next to him, immediately scolded him, "Tian'an, why are you so impolite? What did I tell you before we came?"
He seemed afraid that Wang Shaojun would be displeased by the address "Brother Jun."
Looking at the father and son, Wang Shaojun's lips curled up. Well, look at that, they're putting on a double act for me.
However, he didn't dwell on it. Just then, Butler Wei stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.
Hearing Butler Wei's report, he realized that Wei Tianan was actually his cousin's classmate, and they had known each other since Lingnan High School in the South of the Ranges. It was quite a coincidence that they could be classmates again now.
"Alright, President Wei, stop... lecturing him. I will acquire the Yuanyang Group shares you hold for two billion. I will send someone to contact you when you return. Since your son is Xiaochen's classmate, after the Gaokao, he can go abroad to study with Xiaochen. They can look out for each other. What do you think?"
Wei Jinhua immediately beamed upon hearing this. "That's wonderful! It is Tian'an's honor to study at the same school abroad as President Wang's cousin."
Wei Jinhua's simple flattery left Wang Shaojun speechless.
When he first met the other party at the overseas auction, he didn't seem like someone who enjoyed flattering others. How did he change so much?
After discussing the matter, the three chatted in the pavilion for a while, and then Wei Jinhua stood up to take his leave.
The gains from this trip to Xitan Palace far exceeded his expectations.
Watching the other party's retreating figure leaving the pavilion, Wang Shaojun finally withdrew his gaze, turning to Butler Wei and asking, "How is the progress in Southeast Asia?"
"Reporting, Young Lord, most of it is complete. The underground forces in two or three countries, perhaps because of the presence of Law Enforcers' shadows behind them, are resisting particularly fiercely. However, George has tasked John with handling the matter entirely."
"John? Who is that!"
Wang Shaojun asked with a look of confusion.
He currently only knew the leaders of these major organizations; as for the rest, he was completely unaware. As long as Butler Wei was around, he only needed to remember the names of the few leaders.
"Young Lord, John is the leader of Hydra in Myanmar. He was the first person sent here, and he completed the mission in Myanmar successfully. Therefore, George intends for him to deal with the tough targets in Southeast Asia. If he succeeds, he will become the leader of Hydra in the Southeast Asia region."
"Mhm, tell him to hurry up. I don't care about the other details; I just need that region to quiet down before my father and the others go to Southeast Asia."
"Yes, Young Lord!"
