694: Chapter 695: Negotiating with the Su Family
Three days later, a group of people arrived in Tiannan City, and surprisingly, they were so of the main mbers of the Su family, and they had co looking for Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong t them in a hotel conference room, and he was sowhat confused about what the Su family wanted with him at this ti.
Su Tongfei, the eldest of the Su Family, and also the person with the most authority under the old master of the Su Family, who had passed away, would normally have been expected to take over as the family head.
After clearing his throat, Su Tongfei said to Song Xiaodong, “Mr.
Song, my father has passed away, and all this has been orchestrated by Miao Qingyuan.
You and our Su family are both victims in this regard.”
Song Xiaodong responded indifferently, “Let’s get straight to the point, I don’t want to hear these words.”
Su Tongfei felt a bit awkward and turned his gaze towards Su Yuya, who sighed and said, “Dongzi, after all, our Su Family is still the family of Xuanxuan and Qingqing.
No matter how big past grudges were, dad has passed away, and Qingqing and Xuanxuan have co back to you.
I hope you can let go of your prejudices and help our Su family out.”
“Oh?
Help you out?” Song Xiaodong scanned the crowd and finally rested his eyes on Su Yuya.
Su Yuya sighed again and said, “Although it has only been three days since my father passed away, major families have already started to move against our Su family, nibbling away at our industries.
If this continues, our family will surely suffer a great loss.
If you take away that billion US dollars now, our family will be even more unstable.
So, we hope you can leave this money with our family for the ti being, consider it a loan, and once our family regains stability, we will repay you.”
Song Xiaodong glanced at the others again and said, “I’m afraid that won’t work.
I worry that if we delay any longer, your Su family won’t just face external suppression; it might start to fall apart internally.
Then who will I go to for the money?”
The faces of the Su family mbers changed, obviously, Song Xiaodong’s words had hit their sore spot.
Su Yuya, looking distressed, said, “Our people in the Su family are very clear, united we stand as a great family, divided we are nothing, and then we will have even less influence.
We can still see what is more important.”
Song Xiaodong said unapologetically, “Maybe you can think that way, but I doubt most people here think the sa way, so you’d better give
those ten billion soon.
As for whether your Su family lives or dies afterward, it’s none of my concern.”
Su Tonghuang, the second brother in the Su family, slamd the table and angrily said, “Then we won’t give it to you, what can you do about it?”
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “You can try and see what happens then.
I have witnesses after all.
If you don’t pay, I’ll just have to go to them.”
The faces of the Su family mbers went pale; the witness was Zheng Zhijun, representing higher authorities.
Even if they dared to deny anyone else’s debt, they couldn’t dare deny debts to the higher authorities, as that would undoubtedly annihilate the Su family instantly.
Su Tongfei quickly said, “Second brother, what nonsense are you spouting?
Our Su family is not one to deny debts.”
Then he turned to Song Xiaodong with a smile and said, “Don’t mind him; he’s just a rough man without a brain.”
Su Tonghuang’s mouth twitched, but seeing everyone staring at him, he had to swallow his further words.
Even though he was impulsive by nature, he couldn’t ignore the current situation.
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “I naturally won’t hold it against him, but you’d better hurry up and give
the money.”
Su Yuya hesitated for a mont, then said, “I do have an idea.
It’s definitely difficult for our Su family to co up with ten billion US dollars right now, and it might force us to use so of our assets to settle the debt.
Once we take it out, our family’s strength will obviously be greatly diminished.
Maybe…
you could consider investing this money in our Su family instead.”
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “Invest?
The money would still be in your hands; could I even get it back then?
That’s a bit too deceptive.”
Su Yuya imdiately said, “Although our old master has passed away and our influence has waned, our foundation is still intact, and our connections still have so durability.
If you invest in our Su family, that ten billion US dollars might appreciate.”
Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, “I guess you want
to help your Su family withstand external pressures, right?”
Su Yuya was blunt, “That’s right, since you have the power to bring down our Su family, you also have the power to protect it.
If you invest in our Su family, those who aim at us might think twice before making a move.”
“You certainly hold
in high regard.” Song Xiaodong’s face carried a slight smile.
Su Yuya smiled lightly and said, “I’ve always had great expectations of you, especially since the higher-ups have shown their support for you this ti.
Anyone who isn’t a fool should be able to see that you have the capable.”
As she spoke, Su Yuya’s gaze swept across the Su family mbers; her words were ant not just for Song Xiaodong but also for the others.
Song Xiaodong leaned back in his chair, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.
“I must say, your proposal does tempt
sowhat.
I still need to go back and discuss it with my family.
Also, one more thing, if I agree, from then on…
the Su family will do as I say.”
The faces of the Su family mbers changed drastically, and Su Tonghuang slamd the table and shouted, “Nonsense, that’s impossible, letting you call the shots would no longer make this the Su Family, it might as well be the Song family.”
“Exactly, that’s too much; we can negotiate other terms, but not this one!”
“Hmph, if we agree to this, what dignity would we, the Su family mbers, have left?
We’d all just be working for you.”
Song Xiaodong stood up and said, “Then suit yourselves.
This is my first condition.
If I go back and discuss it, there might be even more conditions coming forth.
You should also think it over.
If you don’t agree to my first condition, then there’s nothing more to discuss.
Just give
the money, and I can rest easy.”
After finishing his statent, Song Xiaodong turned and walked out.
He didn’t care what the Su family mbers thought.
If they didn’t agree to his condition, he really had no interest in getting involved.
As soon as Song Xiaodong left, the room erupted into noisy argunts.
Su Yuya sighed deeply, stood up hastily, and angrily said, “If you still want the Su family to exist, you’d better agree.
If you don’t want the Su family anymore, then oppose it.
Song Xiaodong’s woman is, at the very least, one of us, a Su family mber.
Are you going to wait until other families have devoured our Su family?
By then, we’d truly have no relation to the Su family at all.”
