[Due to consistently pushing for five updates every day for the past few days, so negligences in planning and details have arisen. The shareholdings of Liu Jiayao and Li Hua in earlier chapters have been slightly modified, which should now be more reasonable.]
"Yes, today is the shareholders' eting. The CEO of Li Fang just arrived, and it's basically a done deal now. Sister Liu is really pitiful, this was her late parents' lifeti effort, and she has cared for it imnsely. It's sad that in the end...," Che Yingying sighed.
"That's not necessarily true! Don't worry about your job situation for now. If it really cos to that, I'll definitely find a spot for you. However, as long as Sister Liu isn't willing to let go, that Li Fang CEO won't be able to take it away easily," Cheng Yazhou said, having realized Ge Dongxu likely wasn't aware of this and spoke with a grave tone.
"Thank you, Uncle. But it's definite that Sister Liu will..." Hearing that Cheng Yazhou could secure her a position, Che Yingying was naturally delighted, but thinking of Liu Jiayao, her mood plumted again.
"There's nothing definite in this world. I have sothing urgent now and can't talk further, we'll discuss this later," Cheng Yazhou interrupted Che Yingying, then hastily hung up and imdiately dialed Ge Dongxu.
Yongqing Road, one of the busiest comrcial streets at the heart of the provincial capital.
Ge Dongxu was standing in front of a seventeen-story building that was nearly completed but clearly at a standstill, along with Lin Kun and Yue Ting.
"Dongxu, what do you think of this location? If we take over this unfinished building and continue investing in it, turning it into our Kunting Hotel's headquarters and flagship store, how does that sound?" Lin Kun asked with hopeful eyes.
As the year-end approached, schools had already started their winter break.
On the first day of the vacation, before Ge Dongxu had a chance to head back to his hotown, Lin Kun and Yue Ting, who heard that school was out, dragged him to the provincial capital.
"You really have a big appetite. Taking over this building would cost a fair amount of money!" Ge Dongxu looked up at the unfinished building, surveyed the surroundings, and generally assessed the Feng Shui. He was quite satisfied with it, though the future investnt, not to ntion the initial acquisition, would likely be costly.
After all, this was the provincial capital, not Changxi County, and it was in a central bustling area.
"The developer of this building, impacted by the Asian financial crisis, faced a major liquidity problem and now urgently needs funds for cash flow. Therefore, the building's price is genuinely cheap, just twenty million to seal the deal, practically giving away the land. Donglinyue has been selling very well these past few months, especially near the year-end, it's trendously popular. The company's available funds have already surpassed twenty million, so purchasing it won't be an issue. As long as Donglinyue Apparel remains stable, subsequent investnts won't be a problem. Moreover, Kunting chain hotels should start turning a profit next year," Lin Kun explained, his eyes burning with fervor.
"Oh! Last month, it wasn't nearly this much, and suddenly there's so much more this month." Ge Dongxu was genuinely surprised.
"It's the end of the year after all, our country's people buy a new set of clothes for the New Year, and nowadays, many young people choose Donglinyue," Yue Ting said, her face showing a hint of pride. She was mainly in charge of Donglinyue Apparel, while Lin Kun was focusing on the Kunting Hotel.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem. Go ahead and handle the specifics. If unsure, you can consult your dads, considering the size of the project," Ge Dongxu said, reassured by hearing that there were sufficient funds at Donglinyue Apparel, and also feeling that the building was a bargain with good Feng Shui, he nodded in agreent.
"Haha, working with Dongxu is aweso. It hasn't been long, and soon, we will have our towering buildings and hotels in the provincial capital," Yue Ting and Lin Kun breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ge Dongxu nodding, then laughed joyously.
The twenty million was just the initial investnt; the interior and exterior decorations would surely cost a lot more. Yue Ting and Lin Kun were actually quite unsure and hesitant to decide, but once Ge Dongxu nodded, they were completely relieved.
They had an almost blind faith in Ge Dongxu, especially given the successive successes of Qinghe Herbal Tea, Donglinyue Apparel, and Kunting, they revered and trusted him to the core. As long as Ge Dongxu nodded, they would boldly charge ahead; even if the sky fell, he would support it.
Ge Dongxu smiled, just about to remind them not to be too complacent, when his phone rang.
Few knew Ge Dongxu's phone number, and usually, besides his parents who would call to chat, others wouldn't contact him, so it rarely rang.
Now, hearing it suddenly ring, Ge Dongxu imdiately took it out, saw it was from Cheng Yazhou, and quickly answered, laughing, "Uncle Cheng, what's the matter?"
"Do you know about Sister Liu's situation?" Cheng Yazhou asked directly.
"Sister Liu, are you talking about Sister Liu? What happened to her?" Ge Dongxu asked with a look of surprise upon hearing this.
"It seems you don't know yet. I just got a call from Che Yingying—that friend's daughter you t last year at the revolving restaurant in Mingyue Lake. She told that Li Fang Costics Company is planning to forcefully take over the shares of Qinglan Costics Company," Cheng Yazhou said, realizing that Ge Dongxu was unaware of the situation and quickly responded.
"When did this happen?" Ge Dongxu's face imdiately darkened.
If there was one thing that could trigger Ge Dongxu, it was definitely Liu Jiayao.
No one could touch her, harm her!
"Today, you need to act fast, or it might be too late," Cheng Yazhou said solemnly.
"Okay, is there any problem with the finance company?" Ge Dongxu asked in a heavy voice.
"No problem, we will definitely support you all the way," Cheng Yazhou replied without hesitation.
"Okay, thanks, Uncle Cheng." After saying this, Ge Dongxu hung up Cheng Yazhou's phone and imdiately called Liu Jiayao.
But no one answered the phone.
"Damn it!" Ge Dongxu cursed under his breath and then said to Lin Kun, "Drive to Qinglan... never mind, you don't know the way, it would only delay us. Help hail a taxi right now."
Seeing that Ge Dongxu looked upset, Lin Kun and Yue Ting didn't dare to ask what was wrong and hurried to the roadside to help hail a car.
Fortunately, there were many taxis in the Provincial Capital. By the ti Ge Dongxu got through to Li Min's phone, Lin Kun had already flagged down a taxi for him.
"Keep your phone on at all tis, let's put the matter of this building aside for now, do not touch the money in the account, I might need it," Ge Dongxu hastily instructed Lin Kun and Yue Ting as he bent down to get into the taxi.
"Do you need us to follow you..." Lin Kun and Yue Ting were quick to nod and then asked.
"No need!" Ge Dongxu closed the car door, then told the taxi driver to head to Qinglan Costics Company, before finally saying to Li Min on the phone who had already said hello several tis, "Sister Li, it's , Ge Dongxu. Where is Sister Liu now? Give her my phone."
"She's in a shareholders' eting, she definitely doesn't have ti to take your call," Li Min said, her voice sowhat dejected.
"I know she's in a shareholders' eting, but she must take my call now, because I can help her," Ge Dongxu said in a firm voice.
"You help her? How can you help her? The gap in Sister Liu's finances is probably ten million!" Li Min's voice beca a bit sharp, quite dissatisfied with Ge Dongxu making such an out-of-place remark at this ti.
