Since we can't fight back, we should avoid their sharp edge.
The members of the Zheng Family knew what their current situation was, but they didn't expect their family to be so vulnerable.
They thought of the Zheng Family as a prestigious presence in Macau, yet they never imagined a day would come when they would be beaten so badly they couldn't even fight back.
Zheng Yongnian looked at the demoralized crowd and said, "You must already know about the Xinzheng Group's situation. The little capital we have left is simply useless. I know the strength of the Thailand Consortium all too well, having cooperated with them several times."
"Even if we give it our all, we won't be able to make even a ripple in front of them. Tell me your opinions."
Everyone looked at each other upon hearing this, and Zheng Zhihe was the first to speak: "Big Brother, I think we should take this opportunity to sell our assets and withdraw from Macau. This is the only way we can preserve some of our capital now."
As soon as those words were spoken, others began to chime in.
"No way! If we just leave like this, won't we be a laughingstock? Fleeing Macau after being beaten, and even giving up the family's foundation... what will those people say behind our backs?"
"Let them talk. Anyway, if it really comes to that, I'm never coming back. Out of sight, out of mind. We can't even handle a Heavenly Palace Group, let alone the Thailand Consortium."
"Family Head, is there really no other way? For example, seeking a peace talk with the Wang Family."
"Yeah, we still don't know why the Heavenly Palace Group is clinging to us so relentlessly. Is it just because of that incident at the Heavenly Palace Hotel casino?"
Zheng Yongnian's face turned ashen upon hearing this. These words were effectively whipping his corpse, because he was the cause of everything.
Seeing this, he helplessly raised his hand, and the crowd stopped their discussion one after another.
Zheng Yongnian pondered for a long time and sighed, "Don't mention peace talks again; it's absolutely impossible. Ultimately, I am the one who caused this situation; it was caused by my wrong decisions."
Everyone understood something immediately upon hearing this. As the head of the Zheng Family, it wasn't easy for them to say anything. After all, the other party was human, and humans make mistakes; it was inevitable.
"In that case, we have no choice. Let's liquidate our assets while we still can and move the family out of Macau."
The others nodded in agreement.
Since they couldn't resist, they could only avoid the brunt of the attack.
"It's easy to say, but other industries are one thing. At a time like this, who would dare to take over the Xinzheng Group?"
Everyone fell into silence upon hearing this.
Zheng Yongnian looked up at everyone present and finally broke the silence. "How about this: I'll find a way for the Xinzheng Group. I'll make a trip to the He Family. As for the rest, you all speed up the processing."
"Family Head, can't we keep the other industries? The Wang Family can't possibly suppress us in every aspect, can they?"
Zheng Yongnian's face darkened when he heard this, wondering how this guy could say such a thing.
The Xinzheng Group is finished; did you think the Zheng Family's other industries could still grow in Macau?
Even if Wang Shaojun didn't continue to suppress them, other forces would eat them up until not even bones were left.
"Say no more. Just do as I say."
Seeing that their Family Head's mind was made up, no one said anything more.
After everyone left, Zheng Yongnian turned to the butler and ordered, "Prepare the car; I need to go to the He Family."
Half an hour later!
The He Family compound!
Inside a pavilion, Zheng Yongnian looked at Old Master He, who was a few years older than him, and said with a bitter expression, "Old He, you must save me this time."
Old Master He took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Although I don't know what you did to the Wang Family, and I don't want to know, if you want me to save you, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong person. I don't want to go head-to-head with the Thailand Consortium for your sake."
Zheng Yongnian realized the other party had misunderstood and waved his hand quickly. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I want the He Family to take over the Xinzheng Group. In all of Macau, only your He Family can make the Thailand Consortium back off."
Old Master He suddenly became interested. "Oh? You mean... you want to sell the Xinzheng Group to me? I am quite interested in that. However, given the group's current situation, I'm curious what kind of price you're looking for."
"Old He, since we've reached this point, I'll be blunt. Everyone knows the value of the Xinzheng Group. For the seventy percent stake held by the Zheng Family, how about one hundred billion?"
Old Master He almost laughed in anger when he heard this figure.
One hundred billion?
Zheng Yongnian, you really dare to ask. If it were before, one hundred billion would indeed be worth it, but in the current situation, I don't even know if the market value is still one hundred billion.
You really just say whatever comes to mind. Although the value of the Xinzheng Group is still there, with the trouble it's in now, truly few people would dare to take it over.
Looking up at the somewhat nervous Zheng Yongnian, he shook his head slightly and said something that left the other party speechless: "What is the current market value of your Xinzheng Group?"
Zheng Yongnian fell silent immediately. This old guy wanted to take advantage of his misfortune.
But times had changed, and he had no choice. "One hundred billion is indeed a bit high. How about this, seventy-five billion RMB, and the Xinzheng Group will belong to your He Family."
But to his surprise, Old Master He still shook his head and said softly, "I think you should recognize the reality before making an offer. Besides, there is no friendship to speak of between our two families."
"Old He, you should know that if I were to go to foreign capital, they would be more than happy to accept seventy-five billion. I came to you only because I don't want our assets to fall into the hands of outsiders."
Old Master He fell silent for a while upon hearing this. After a long time, he finally laughed, "Hahaha, good. Just for those words of yours, I can add fifteen billion for you. Originally, my psychological price was fifty billion, but now I can give you sixty-five billion RMB."
"This price is already not low, and I'm taking a huge risk. I heard you're still selling off other assets?"
"How about this, don't sell to others anymore. Package it all up and sell it to me. I'll take over all of the Zheng Family's industries."
Zheng Yongnian was shocked by the other party's words.
Although the Xinzheng Group was the pillar of the Zheng Family, the total value of the Zheng Family's other industries was not low. Could the He Family swallow it all?
Weren't they afraid of their capital chain breaking? No, where did the other party get so much cash flow?
However, as the number one family in Macau, their foundation was beyond his imagination. The He Family might not have the cash, but the banks did.
As long as the He Family spoke up, it should be no problem to take out a loan of tens of billions.
As for why the other party wanted to do this, it wasn't his concern. Anyway, he already planned to withdraw from Macau; what the future landscape of Macau would become had nothing to do with him anymore.
