King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

My brain just can't keep up right now...

What am I?

He's just a wage earner, and a "culprit" at that, so he has no right to speak!

Song Guolong, however, let me speak...

Then I can only say whatever comes to mind and express what I care about most in my heart!

After all, I was sitting on the side of Xu Meijuan and her two sisters...

"Uh... I mean!"

I frowned and pondered, "The Yunbo Auto project definitely needs to be done well! We can't just take money from the government and shareholders and then leave it at that... That would be a huge loss for Uncle Song, so we have to put some pressure on the Xu family! I've heard a little about the old man's will; it says... after he passes away, all 30% of his shares will go to Xu Shaokun... cough!"

After I coughed, I continued, "Why don't we ask the old man to amend his will? After he passes away, his shares can be divided into three parts, with Meijuan, Meitong, and Meiyun each inheriting 10%..."

Before I could finish speaking, Xu Shaokun's eyes immediately turned red. He glared at me viciously as I stood up, turned to Song Guolong, and said, "Uncle Song, what does the will have to do with him? He's an outsider! What right does he have to interfere with my father's will!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Song Guolong waved his hand with a smile: "Shao Kun! I'm asking Xiao Song now, it's a conversation between the two of us, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right? You have to let people speak, don't you... The law also says there's freedom of speech! Besides, if Mei Yun marries Xiao Song, he'll be your second sister's husband, how can this not have anything to do with him? Xiao Song, please continue, I'm quite interested!"

"Uh...uh..."

I ignored Xu Shaokun's predatory face, steadied myself, and continued, "The Song family's 10 billion can be lent to the Xu family, but on the condition that Old Master Xu changes his will! He must leave his shares to his three daughters from his first marriage after his death... Of that 30%, 10% must be used as collateral. If the Yunbo Auto project is just a front to swindle money from the government and shareholders, and ultimately falls through... well, that 100% will be compensation to the Song family... But if it succeeds, Uncle Song's 100 billion, principal and interest, will be recovered first... and the 30% shares will still belong to the three sisters..."

My mind is a mess, I can only think in the direction that is "most advantageous" to myself!

Song Guolong is willing to invest 100 billion... It's impossible without some kind of collateral!

I'm not sure what that 10% stake represents, what its market value is, or how it compares to Hengdai Shopping Mall and Hengdai Food City.

In short... I've made up my mind about one thing: even if we end up "ceding territory and paying reparations," giving Song Guolong 10% of the Xu family's shares, at least Meijuan, Meiyun, and Meitong will still get 20%!

It's better to cut off a province than to lose half the country!

As soon as I finished speaking, Xu Shaokun immediately went into a frenzy!

"Song Cheng! What do you know?"

He yelled, "Hengdai Food City and Hengdai Shopping Mall combined are only worth 300 billion! But the Xu family's 10% stake is worth 1200 billion! Are you trying to kill the Xu family by mortgaging 1200 billion? If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense!"

Xu Shaokun shouted loudly and his expression was exaggerated and frightening... But the thing that made him smarter than Xiao Bo was that he didn't use foul language in front of Song Guolong; he just argued his case based on facts!

Hearing him say that, my heart skipped a beat!

Yes!

The Xu family is a trillion-dollar enterprise... 10% of their shares is worth 1200 billion!

Using 1200 billion as collateral and 300 billion as collateral, just to borrow 100 billion in cash, even a fool would know which choice to make.

My suggestion is tantamount to pushing the Xu family into an even deeper abyss!

But... the good thing is, the will has changed!

If the Yunbo Auto project succeeds, the three Meijuan sisters will get 30% of the shares!

The Yunbo Auto project has botched, and Meijuan and her team will get 20%!

You won't lose out either way!

This family will have to split up sooner or later... Better to give it to an outsider than to a traitor within the family!

Even if Song Guolong wants to ruin this project, Xu Meijuan, Xu Meiyun, and Xu Meitong won't suffer any losses!

The one who suffered the most was Xu Shaokun!

I noticed Xu Meijuan's expression; at first, her brows were furrowed, and she was highly tense, but after her eyes darted around, she gave me a knowing smile...

Even Xu Meitong, who was initially cold and aloof towards me, now looks at me differently, her eyes sparkling!

"Uncle Song! This won't do! Why?"

Xu Shaokun yelled at Song Guolong, "He's an outsider, what right does he have to interfere in our Xu family's affairs? He's only trying to screw me over!"

"Hahaha!"

Song Guolong laughed heartily, clapping his hands and saying, "Interesting! Interesting! Shao Kun! Yes! Strictly speaking from a legal standpoint... young Song is indeed an outsider to your Xu family, but to me, he's no outsider at all! He's a close friend despite our age difference! He's also my advisor! Asking for his opinion and getting his advice isn't unreasonable, is it? It's both reasonable and legal, isn't it?"

Song Guolong left Xu Shaokun speechless!

Xu Shaokun's eyes were filled with malice as he looked at me...

I understand now, I've completely offended Xu Shaokun!

For the rest of his life, his only goal will be to eliminate me!

I didn't look at him; my eyes met Song Guolong's...

The collateral went from 300 billion to 1200 billion, and of course he was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear!

"Little Song!"

Song Guolong said with a smile, "You and Meiyun shouldn't just stand there, come on! Sit down next to your uncle... Meiyun, go sit next to your older sister..."

Since Meiyun and I entered this conference room, we've been stuck in a three-way "business battle," and Xiao Bo even tried to hit me, so we've been standing the whole time...

Moreover, the seating areas for all three parties were clearly marked, and neither of us knew where to sit.

Now Song Guolong has directly assigned us seats, and he actually put me next to him...

"Old Xiao, move aside and sit in Xiao Bo's seat..."

Song Guolong waved his hand, and Xiao Zhenjiang obediently moved his bottom and sat in his son's original seat.

And I... hesitated for a moment before walking over too!

Everyone in the room was staring at me. At that moment... I felt my ears burning. I could sense the thoughts of everyone—those who hated me, those who loved me, those who resented me, those who doubted me, and those who wanted to see me fail...

After I sat down cautiously, Song Guolong even offered me a cigar and lit it for me himself.

I was flattered... I had never smoked a cigar in my life, and after taking half a puff, I kept coughing!

"Cough cough cough!"

"Hahaha!"

Song Guolong patted my shoulder with a smile: "Little Song, I really like your idea! I support it! Let's do it your way!"

After saying that, he looked at Xu Jiayi and pondered for a moment, then said, "Old Xu! Although the will is your personal matter, and I... as your good friend, I shouldn't interfere! But... in this world, things always have to be mutually agreeable, after all, I'm the one who's paying for your money and cleaning up your messes!"

He paused, then continued, "I could easily choose not to pay that 100 billion and let you two continue fighting! In that case... not only would the Yunbo Auto project fail, but your 70 billion investment would also be lost, along with many other projects you've invested in... Do you think the government would still trust you? Of course, you two could also put up with this disgusting situation, prioritize the bigger picture, and continue cooperating... Old Xiao, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Zhenjiang said emotionally, "Brother Long! We will never cooperate with the Xu family again in this lifetime. I want 100 billion in cash! I don't want to cooperate!"

Although I don't know much about business warfare, I at least understand 'human relationships'!

To be honest... the Xu and Xiao families may have their squabbles between their children, but business is business, and those are two separate matters.

It's true that we can tolerate the disgust and continue cooperating, since nobody wants to turn down money!

Even a fool could tell... Song Guolong had his eye on the Xu family's 10% stake!

Asking Xiao Zhenjiang a question... that's giving Xiao Zhenjiang face!

If Xiao Zhenjiang had any sense... he wouldn't have undermined Brother Long!

Otherwise, Song Guolong will make sure the Xiao family suffers the consequences!

Rather than doing that, it's better to quit while you're ahead and at least do Song Guolong a favor!

"How's it going, Lao Xu...?"

Song Guolong asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"

"I...I...cough cough cough!"

Xu Jiayi, lying on the hospital bed, coughed violently and did not respond for a long time.

"dad!"

Xu Shaokun, feigning filial piety, ran to Xu Jiayi's bedside, grabbed Xu Jiayi's hand, and cried, "Dad! Are you alright? Waaah!"

"Uncle Song!"

Xu Shaokun turned to Song Guolong and pleaded, "My father's health isn't good; he can't withstand such a shock. Could you give him a couple of days to discuss it as a family before making a decision?"

"hehe!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "Shao Kun! I'll say it again, what's reasonable isn't necessarily logical! You need to understand one thing... I was invited here to clean up your mess, not that I came here voluntarily. My time... is very precious! I even came all the way back from the provincial capital. If this matter isn't settled today, then I'm leaving, and you can figure it out yourselves!"

"Brother Long, Brother Long..."

Xu Jiayi weakly raised his hand towards Song Guolong, pleading, "10% of the shares is too much..."

"oh!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "So what you mean... I understand, you never intended to make the Yunbo Auto project a success, right?"

"No, no, no!"

Hsu Chia-yi waved his hands repeatedly, "That's not what I meant!"

"What's there to be afraid of? There's no need to worry about too much."

Song Guolong sneered, "If you really want to make this project a success, won't the 10% stake still belong to your Xu family? I'm not going to take it away, so what are you afraid of? Unless you're feeling guilty!"

"Uncle Song!"

At this moment, Xu Meijuan said, "As the CEO of Hengdai Real Estate, I agree to this plan!"

"I agree!"

Xu Meiyun raised her hand and then jabbed Xu Meitong hard with her elbow.

Xu Meitong immediately raised her hand: "I agree too!"

The three sisters' eyes were all filled with cunning...

"Hahaha!"

Song Guolong laughed heartily: "Old Xu, all three major shareholders of your Xu family have agreed. What's your attitude? Do you agree or disagree?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Xu Jiayi kept coughing, and he even coughed up blood!

"Dad! Waaaaah!"

Xu Shaokun hugged Xu Jiayi and burst into tears...

Seeing that Xu Jiayi was about to drag the dog away, Song Guolong glanced at his watch and said, "I'll give you five minutes. If you don't agree, I'm leaving now. I need to see an old friend in the provincial capital..."

"I, I..."

Xu Jiayi was breathing heavily... and my heart was in my throat!

I thought to myself, "Xu Jiayi, Xu Jiayi, if you're going to die, at least wait five minutes! We can't afford any accidents now!"

Otherwise, the old will would be in effect!

Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was my mom calling!

Although I really wanted to answer, the current situation was not suitable for taking the call, so I hung up again.

However, my mom called again very soon...

"Uncle Song, may I go outside to answer a phone call?" I asked him humbly.

Go!

Song Guolong waved his hand.

I left the conference room through the front door and ran straight to a hidden storage room in Xu Meijuan's house to answer the phone!

"Feed? Mom!"

"My son!"

On the other end of the phone came her mother's anxious voice: "Tell me! Is the boss you're working for now surnamed Song, and named Song Guolong?"

"Well......"

My blood rushed to my head: "Mom! What's wrong? Did they give you a hard time? What happened?"

"Answer Mom!"

My mom anxiously pressed me for answers.

"Uh...yes! No! But he helped me a lot!"

"Waaaaah!"

On the other end of the phone, my mother cried, "Son, listen to me, stay away from him, or he'll kill you, boohoo!"
