43: Chapter 43 Yuan Family, Yuan Hong
Before Zhang Baiyu could finish speaking, Yuan Hong interrupted directly, "I can ask my father to use his connections to give you the green light, but I think you also know that the Zhou Family has supporters in the government."
"We can only contain the Zhou Family at best, so whether you can succeed in the final bidding depends on yourselves!"
"Then, do you have any idea what the price range for the starting bid might be?" Zhang Baiyu asked cautiously.
If he knew this, he could prepare the funds in advance; otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage later.
"I heard from my father that it should be around this figure!" Yuan Hong held up two fingers.
"Two billion?"
Yuan Hong nodded.
Zhang Baiyu frowned.
Honestly, with the five billion invested by Zhao Feiyu, Jiaxing Group could indeed bid for it.
But this was just the starting price.
The final transaction price would likely be at least around five billion.
If they went all out on the auction, there would be issues with the capital chain during the later construction phase.
Just then, Zhao Feiyu leaned back slightly, resting against the chair, and mimicked Yuan Hong's manner as he laughed, "I thought it was how much money; is that all?"
Zhao Feiyu appeared very dismissive.
Hearing this, Yuan Hong immediately frowned, "You certainly have a big mouth. Two billion is just the starting price. The final transaction price will be at least around five billion. You will still need construction funds later. Can you even afford that?"
Zhao Feiyu stood up straight, patted Zhang Baiyu on the shoulder, and said calmly, "I already said I didn't want to come, but you insisted. For such a small matter, couldn't you have just told me?"
"Don't go asking every Tom, Dick, and Harry for favors. If a problem can be solved with money, don't go begging people."
"Give me the account number tomorrow, and I'll transfer another ten billion to you."
"Remember my words: my goal is not to make money; I want the Zhou Family to completely collapse. Understand?"
Hearing Zhao Feiyu's arrogant words, Zhang Baiyu's eyes lit up, and he started laughing.
"Who are you calling a Tom, Dick, and Harry?"
Yuan Hong immediately caught Zhao Feiyu's insult.
He stood up abruptly and pointed at Zhao Feiyu, cursing angrily.
However, Zhao Feiyu ignored Yuan Hong completely.
He walked to the door, turned around, and looked at Zhang Baiyu, "Just give me a shout if the money isn't enough. We're brothers; don't be so polite!"
After saying this, Zhao Feiyu left the private room directly.
After Zhao Feiyu left, Zhang Baiyu immediately reprimanded Yuan Hong, "What are you doing? I brought you here to meet him, why are you putting on airs?"
"Don't you want to cover the loopholes in those gold mines of your family in South Africa?"
"I... I... I wasn't doing it on purpose, I just wanted to test his strength. How old is he? He promised ten billion just like that. Who would believe it!"
Yuan Hong's attitude immediately wilted, completely lacking his previous arrogance.
"Hehe!" Zhang Baiyu suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and call him back!" Yuan Hong urged anxiously.
"If it weren't for you, would Zhao Feiyu have invested another ten billion? This time, the North Suburb Power Plant project is completely secure!"
"Damn it... you used me!"
"Purely accidental, purely accidental!" Zhang Baiyu explained repeatedly.
"I'll call him back right now. This time, you must watch your attitude. Don't put on the airs of the Young Master of the Yuan Family!"
"Yes, yes, yes. This time, I will definitely apologize to him!" Yuan Hong nodded repeatedly.
But just after Zhang Baiyu got through on the phone, he heard a burst of cursing on the other end.
The language was crude and unbearable.
It seemed Zhao Feiyu was in a conflict with someone.
At this moment, the call ended abruptly.
There was also physical conflict.
"Quick! Something happened!" Zhang Baiyu was shocked and rushed out immediately.
Yuan Hong and Liang Yu followed closely behind.
On the other side, Zhao Feiyu had just reached the elevator entrance when he saw a group of people walking out of the elevator.
The two sides brushed past each other.
But among that group, a young man's eyes narrowed.
He turned his head abruptly and stared fixedly at Zhao Feiyu.
"Zhao Feiyu!" the young man roared.
Zhao Feiyu turned to look and discovered that this person was none other than Zhou Meiren.
Seeing the other party, Zhao Feiyu frowned immediately.
What a small world!
Looking closer, he saw Zhou Meiren with his arm around a woman.
And this woman was none other than Zhao Feiyu's ex-wife, Li Shanshan.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Feiyu was completely shocked.
How the hell did Li Shanshan get mixed up with Zhou Meiren?
This was absolutely explosive!
What Zhao Feiyu didn't know was that ever since Zhou Meiren investigated his information, he had harbored malicious intentions, planning to take revenge on Zhao Feiyu psychologically first.
So, he invited Li Shanshan from Jiangbei to Yunduan City.
Who was Li Shanshan?
Zhou Meiren took her down without any effort at all.
At that moment, Zhou Meiren felt like he had slapped Zhao Feiyu hard, avenging the time Zhao Feiyu claimed Song Chanjuan was his girlfriend.
Now, it was even.
Zhao Feiyu had Song Chanjuan, and he, Zhou Meiren, had Li Shanshan.
And what no one expected was that Zhou Meiren's simple revenge completely saved the Li family, which had been in a dead end.
Ever since Zhang Baiyu blocked Li Dong, Li Dong had found people to help him get to Yunduan City and took on some jobs there.
With Li Shanshan as a stepping stone, Li Dong immediately latched onto the big tree that was the Zhou Family.
During this period, he took on many large projects from the Zhou Family and suddenly returned to his former glorious state.
As for Zheng Jiakai, once Li Shanshan had the Zhou Family, she kicked Zheng Jiakai to the curb and moved the whole family to Yunduan City.
The Li family was now riding high!
Li Shanshan also learned through Zhou Meiren that Zhao Feiyu was actually in Yunduan City during this time, and she learned about the private grudge between Zhao Feiyu and Zhou Meiren.
With their new and old grudges combined, the two immediately stood on the same front.
When she saw Zhao Feiyu, Li Shanshan couldn't suppress the urge to burst into laughter.
With Zhou Meiren as her backer, Li Shanshan didn't believe Zhang Baiyu could still save Zhao Feiyu.
One had to know that the Zhou Family was one of the Four Great Families of Yunduan City.
Its foundation and strength were simply not comparable to ordinary enterprises.
This gave Li Shanshan infinite courage and confidence.
"Zhao Feiyu!" Li Shanshan's voice was almost squeezed through her clenched teeth.
"We meet again!"
Seeing Zhao Feiyu, Zhou Meiren pulled Li Shanshan into his arms and wantonly fondled her with his other hand, playfully provoking Zhao Feiyu.
"Zhao Feiyu, do you recognize who she is? How about it? Feeling surprised? Didn't expect her to be with me, right?"
"You went to find my ex-wife, so I can go find your ex-wife too."
"Now that she is being toyed with by me like this, how do you feel?"
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu immediately laughed, "So Young Master Zhou likes this type! You should have said so earlier!"
"I could have gone to the red-light district, paid eighty bucks, and called a hundred for you, play with them however you like."
