156: Mr. Gao, your gun is so hard.

“Officer Gao, are you so sure I’ll agree?”

The act of pushing the door open didn't happen, so Jiang Ruiming had no choice but to return and sit back at the dining table, facing Gao Ze and saying, “Aren’t you willing to go all out?”

“Of course!”

Gao Ze nodded slightly.

Jiang Ruiming poured a cup of tea for Gao Ze, and asked curiously, “Why?”

“To put it nicely, your personality is to plan before acting; to put it bluntly, it’s about being insidious andNinja Bird. Just like today’s forced abdication and power seizure from your father, Jiang Wenhao, at Jiahua Group—you’ve been planning this whole scheme for several years.”

Gao Ze calmly stated, “With a personality like yours, you must believe in ‘as long as the green hills are there, there’s no need to worry about firewood.’ How could you be willing to sacrifice everything, just to win against your sister, Jiang Qianyu, out of spite?”

“Besides, I’ve seen the tax evidence regarding your private company in the dossier!”

“Although you’ve evaded a lot of taxes, your own company’s performance is excellent, with over 100 million in profit every year. Would you be willing to be sent to prison by your father, Jiang Wenhao, and your sister, working together?”

“Hahaha, Officer Gao truly understands me!”

“We’ve only met once today, and you’ve analyzed me thoroughly, leaving no secrets!”

Jiang Ruiming smiled bitterly and shook his head, tears seemingly welling in his eyes, and asked, “My sister, Jiang Qianyu, is truly lucky. How does Officer Gao want me to help her succeed?”

“Hand over your shares to Jiang Qianyu and withdraw from Jiahua Group. She won’t let you suffer losses; she’ll repurchase your shares at a price higher than the market value!”

Gao Ze continued, “Additionally, have the institutional shareholder representatives of Meigao and Fenglin Capital, who support you, switch their support to Jiang Qianyu.”

“It seems Officer Gao wants my sister to replace me and take over Jiahua Group!”

Jiang Ruiming pondered, then said, “I only have 3% of Jiahua’s shares. If Jiang Qianyu wants them, I can give them to her.

But to make Meigao and Fenglin Capital support my sister, I can’t do that.”

Gao Ze’s gaze lightly swept over, and he said, “Give me a reason!”

Everyone’s gaze carries weight.

Jiang Ruiming’s heart trembled. Gao Ze’s gaze carried more weight than that of many business magnates he had met.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help my sister.

It’s that Meigao and Fenglin Capital supported my forced abdication primarily because they were convinced by my plan, believing I could lead Jiahua to create better performance and profits.”

“These capital institutions value profit and returns. As long as they recognize your ability, they don’t need to do much; they will naturally support you.”

“Then just comply with the transfer of shares and withdrawal from Jiahua Group.”

Jiang Ruiming’s reason convinced Gao Ze. He also had to admit that Jiang Ruiming was excellent in business. With only 3% of Jiahua’s shares in his hand, he was able to form alliances and secure support for over 50% of Jiahua’s shares. At this stage, Jiang Qianyu was still inferior to him.

But it didn’t matter; Jiang Qianyu had him.

“What about the shares of Meigao and Fenglin Capital?

These two institutions hold 18% of Jiahua’s shares, which is a significant amount. If they choose not to support my sister, it will be very difficult for her to take over Jiahua Group.”

Looking at Gao Ze’s calm, unruffled face, a hint of curiosity appeared in Jiang Ruiming’s eyes.

Capital institutions are not individual entities but a vast interest group. It’s impossible for Gao Ze to make capital institutions support Jiang Qianyu by using secret weaknesses.

“I will help her!”

Gao Ze didn’t explain, he got up and walked towards the private room door. Jiang Ruiming immediately followed.

The moment the private room door was opened.

Gao Ze saw Jiang Qianyu’s eyes, filled with tension and anticipation, as well as the capital institution representatives, Lili, Jiang Wenmin, Li Guobang, and others, all turning their gazes towards him.

“Your brother, Jiang Ruiming, has already agreed to transfer his shares to you and withdraw from Jiahua Group!”

He didn’t make her wait, directly telling her the result.

“Thank you, Mr. Gao!”

Jiang Qianyu’s body trembled slightly, she covered her mouth with her hand, then threw herself into Gao Ze’s arms, holding him tightly.

The embrace was so strong that even Gao Ze felt a little breathless in his chest. There was also the soft, elastic touch of her body and a unique feminine fragrance, different from Li Qingyan’s milky scent; this delicate fragrance was like natural honey.

“Sorry, Mr. Gao, I lost my composure.”

After a full half minute, Jiang Qianyu released her hands, sobering up from her excitement. She touched the wetness at the corners of her eyes from emotion, and a blush appeared on her rosy lips, showing an embarrassed smile.

It was her first time having such close contact with a man, and during the embrace, she felt a hard object pressing against her waist, though she didn't know what it was.

Does Mr. Gao even carry a gun?

“It’s alright. Anyone here, upon hearing they’re about to take over a large group like Jiahua, would be even happier than you!”

Gao Ze took a shallow breath, trying his best to keep his own unusual reaction from being noticed. He looked at the two shareholder representatives from Meigao and Fenglin and asked,

“What are your thoughts now? Jiang Ruiming has decided to withdraw from Jiahua. Why not support Jiang Qianyu?”

“This… we need to go back and consider.”

The two capital representatives exchanged glances.

Before Jiang Ruiming came, his attitude was incredibly strong. They never imagined he would back down so quickly. How much time had passed?

“Consider what?”

“Although I haven’t done business, I know that the business world is like a battlefield, not a dinner party!”

“I’ll give you two choices.

First, I can make a promise to your investment institutions on behalf of Jiang Qianyu: as long as you support her, she can deliver on the benefits Jiang Ruiming promised you, and she can increase Jiahua Group’s market value, profit, and performance.”

“Second, if you don’t support her, Jiang Qianyu and her supporters will turn to Jiahua Chairman Jiang Wenhao, and together they will clear out your institutions through equity, forcing you to divest!

You all know that Jiang Wenhao deeply resents you capital institutions because you supported Jiang Ruiming’s forced abdication.

If he regains power, he will definitely go all out against you and will absolutely not let you off!”

Capital investment institutions are a vast interest group without secret weaknesses to control them, but Gao Ze still chose a tough stance, because only toughness can make these capitals revere and take them seriously; otherwise, they will only be seen as soft and easily bullied.

“I don’t have much time for you to deliberate. I’ll only give you half an hour.

You can contact your respective institutions behind you. Choose whether to trust Jiang Qianyu or be liquidated. It’s your choice.”

What a simple and crude threat!

Jiang Ruiming couldn’t help but click his tongue. Gao Ze’s methods were beyond his expectation; there was no longer the calculated, step-by-step planning from before, only thunderous displays of power.

But crude doesn’t mean ineffective.

The faces of the two investment institution shareholder representatives had clearly tensed up. They each picked up their phones and gravely said, “Mr. Gao, we’ll make a call first.”

Two brief phone conferences were hastily conducted just like that.

More than twenty minutes later.

The two investment institution shareholders walked over together and asked, “Can we sign a contract?”

“If our two institutions support Miss Jiang, but Miss Jiang fails to increase Jiahua’s market value, and doesn’t improve profits and performance, what kind of compensation should we receive?”

“By your tone, you even want to sign a gambling agreement!”

Gao Ze shook his head with a smile, and coldly said, “Are you dreaming? Your combined shares are only 18%, you are not qualified to negotiate terms!”

“If you don’t want to support Jiang Qianyu, either divest immediately now, or wait for Jiang Qianyu to team up with Jiang Wenhao, kick you out, and then divest to stop losses.”

Seeing this attitude.

The two investment institution shareholder representatives didn’t get angry; instead, they showed a bitter smile and said, “Since Mr. Gao says so, we will support Miss Jiang!”

Divesting was impossible. Their institutions had heavily purchased shares when Jiahua Group’s market value was over 100 billion. Now, due to the real estate market, Jiahua’s market value had been cut in half to 70-80 billion. If they divested, their large number of shares would result in excessive losses.

They had just inquired about a gambling agreement, but it was merely a tentative question, with no real hope.

Since divesting was not feasible, they could only gamble on Jiang Qianyu’s ability to complete the industrial transformation of Jiahua.

“Mr. Gao, we’re leaving now!”

Jiang Wenmin, Li Guobang, and other shareholders, as well as Jiang Ruiming and the institutional shares, were all resolved. They did not stay at Peace Hotel, all wanting to use this evening to digest the fact of Jiahua Group’s change of ownership.

A short while later.

In the private room of the hotel, only Gao Ze, Jiang Qianyu, and Lili remained.

“I can hardly believe it!”

“If it weren’t for you, Mr. Gao, I’d still feel like it was a dream. I’ve wanted Jiahua Group since I was little, and it came into my hands so easily.”

Watching one Jiahua shareholder after another, and her elder brother Jiang Ruiming, leave.

Jiang Qianyu looked at Gao Ze, her curiosity no longer controllable: “Mr. Gao, what kind of secret weakness do you hold over my elder brother? I’ve never known him to have any secret weaknesses since I was little.”
