The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Ding Xin, however, maintained a dismissive expression, slowly raising three fingers and calculating, "First, these two hundred billion won were money I could have obtained right now, but after you said that, it's become something I can only get by helping you ascend to the chairmanship..."

in other words...

Is the chairman of your Babel Group only worth 200 billion won in your eyes?

Secondly, from a businessman's perspective, regardless of the process, the current situation is that if you can't come up with the money for me, then the Jinjia Building is essentially my investment in the entire theme park project, and a core investment at that...

According to your theory...

In the end, I just threw in 200 billion won for nothing, and the best outcome was just getting that 200 billion won back, without making any money at all!

Moreover, with the current environment being so bad, it's like all the potential risks are being placed on my shoulders!

what do you think?

Third, don't you know what kind of mess that lunatic Zhang Junyu has made of your Babel Group? To put it bluntly, it could go bankrupt at any moment, okay?

"Given this situation, you still want me to take the risk for you?"

The words fell.

The whole place was silent.

In fact...

Ding Xin's three points are completely fallacious arguments, but at first glance they do seem to make some sense!

certainly...

It depends on who's saying it.

The main problem was that Ding Xin's attitude during their two meetings was too domineering!

Even Han Chenghe's previous advice made Zhang Hanshu subconsciously lower his head!

This led to the kid's thoughts being that cooperation would be mutually beneficial, but what he said came out as a strong sense of need for Ding Xin.

In negotiations, whoever is needed holds the initiative.

Who has the upper hand...?

Well then, I'm sorry, the passive party can expect to be subjected to all sorts of demands!

......

Chapter 432 Guidance on the Maze

Ding Xin looked at the two silent people...

He shook his head, smiled, picked up his glass, swirled it gently for a moment, and then said slowly, "However, the fact that you could make this suggestion shows you do have some brains. You're much better than your foolish older brother, Zhang Junyu. It's just a bit of a pity that you're currently just a fake president..."

Having said that...

Ding Xin stopped talking and casually flicked the ash from his cigarette.

Zhang Hanshu and Han Chenghe looked at each other in silence, unsure of how to start a conversation, so they simply remained silent.

"Thinking about it now, if you could become the true chairman of the Babel Group, you might actually be able to revive your nearly bankrupt company..."

Ding Xin, a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at the two men with a half-smile, then fixed his gaze on Zhang Hanshu, saying unhurriedly, "Then your group's shares will be of some use. I'm the kind of person who likes to mentor younger generations. Since you're so sincere today, I might as well hear your thoughts..."

"Come on, tell me your plan. How do you intend to deal with your elder brother and seize control of the entire Babel Group?"

The words fell...

Zhang Hanshu, who had just looked somewhat dejected, seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He didn't mind Ding Xin's use of the word "junior." Anyway, no one was stronger than him. As long as he could solve the problem and get what he wanted, being a junior was fine!

He's a mature man now; he can take things on and let them go!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hanshu forced a smile and said, "Director Ding, I'll get straight to the point. My idea is to ask you to cooperate with me in putting on a show..."

I hope you can continue to put pressure on my older brother. I will also take this opportunity to contact some board members...

If the Kam Ka Dong amusement park project remains unresolved...

I believe that within a month at most, the board of directors will lose patience and will definitely convene a group shareholders' meeting!

When the board of directors joins in the attack, my elder brother's prestige will definitely suffer a great loss!

And I will seize the opportunity to propose solutions, and with your assistance, perfectly resolve the issues surrounding the Kam Ka Dong Amusement Park project. Then, I can then...”

Zhang Hanshu gestured wildly and spoke eloquently, becoming more and more confident as he spoke.

However...

Just as he was speaking with smug satisfaction, Ding Xin scoffed and interrupted him disdainfully: "That's it? This is your plan?"

"Forehead..."

It's impossible not to feel annoyed when you're suddenly interrupted while you're getting into the conversation.

But Zhang Hanshu didn't dare to say anything more. He could only shut his mouth, raise his head, and look at Ding Xin with a hint of fear in his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"I was just praising you for being smart, but your plan is so crude and clumsy! It's completely based on wishful thinking!"

Ding Xin's tone carried a hint of disdain, and Zhang Hanshu's eyes flickered after hearing his words, but he remained silent, only revealing a trace of resentment in his eyes.

"Still not convinced?"

Ding Xin raised an eyebrow and bluntly pointed out several flaws: "First of all, you haven't even figured out whether I'm a friend or foe to you, yet you've placed all your hopes on me and are expecting me to help you deal with your older brother..."

It is foolish for a strategist to place all their hopes on others!

Secondly...

How can you be sure your older brother can't hold on for a month? What if it drags on for two months? Three months?

You're gambling with the group's future; that's incredibly short-sighted!

at last...

What makes you think those group shareholders will support you? Don't they have their own plans?

Even if we take a step back and say that the problems with the theme park project are your and your brother's responsibility, why do you still think that the shareholders will support you?

Who knows, they might even tear you down with them!

You're completely blind to the situation and have no sense of the bigger picture!

As Ding Xin spoke, Zhang Hanshu lowered his head further and further until finally, Zhang Hanshu's chin was almost touching his chest.

In contrast to him, Han Seung-hyuk acted differently.

Compared to Zhang Hanshu's naivety, Han Chenghe undoubtedly had more life experience.

in other words...

He seemed to glean something else from Ding Xin's words.

For example... guidance?

However, he was also somewhat uncertain. So, after seeing Zhang Hanshu rendered speechless, Han Chenghe's expression tightened, and he tentatively asked with some uncertainty, "Executive Director Ding, Chairman Zhang only mentioned some ideas just now. After all, plans are meant to be discussed. Do you have any other suggestions, Executive Director?"

have to say...

His words were clever; on the surface, he was testing Ding Xin's thoughts.

But there was another hidden meaning in his words, as if Ding Xin had already sided with the two of them...

At the same time, it subtly reminded Zhang Hanshu...

Yes!

Zhang Hanshu also suddenly woke up...

Although Ding Xin's words were merciless, upon reflection, they didn't seem like a rejection, but rather like a suggestion...

His words were filled with a sense of disappointment and frustration, which ironically added to the sense of closeness.

After thinking about this...

Zhang Hanshu then raised his head again, his face showing less shame and indignation, but also a hint of anticipation...

"I'm the kind of person who values ​​first impressions, and I find you quite agreeable. Besides, the fact that you took the initiative to ask me out today makes me think you're quite sensible, so I personally don't mind giving you some pointers..."

Ding Xin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, setting the tone for what he was about to say...

That's like giving guidance!

We've arrived here...

It's time for him to reveal his true purpose.

certainly...

The method can't be that straightforward!

Under the increasingly expectant gazes of Zhang Hanshu and Han Chenghe, Ding Xin slowly said, "It's not that I can't help you, but you have to offer enough benefits. Nine percent of the shares? Heh, not worth it!"

Moreover, I personally dislike procrastination and prefer to get things done quickly and decisively!

therefore...

What I'm about to say might make you, or rather, Chairman Zhang Hanshu, uncomfortable...

so...
