Chapter 1063
After a long time, Rong Peng said, “Young Ji, I have the guts, but this confidence ……”
He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly: “To be honest, the Wu family is powerful, not something I can resist, even if I still have the Rong Peng Group in my hands, I have no way to resist them. I think you know very well how the business situation in the country is, so …… Ji Shao, and I’m not afraid of you laughing, if the other side is a huge business empire, then I’m not even afraid in the slightest, but, now we have to face the Wu family ah!”
Ji Feng then understood, Rong Peng this is unable to imagine how to confront the Wu family.
In fact, if you think about it, it’s true that in China, to do small business, you may not need any network of connections or background, just to live in the muddy sky or to support your family, which is very simple.
But if you want to do big business, if you want to rise to the top, if you don’t have a background, if you don’t have a backstage, then really don’t even think about it.
The biggest advantage of the Wu family is their huge energy in the political world, and this alone is enough to make Rong Peng lose his confidence to fight against them.
This is because the ability of Rong Peng to rise quickly in just a decade or so and reach this point is certainly outstanding, but the a*sistance of the Wu family behind the scenes has definitely played a significant role as well.
Therefore, Rong Peng may have a clearer understanding than many people of what will happen if he goes against a family that has great power in the political world!
“The Wu family is indeed very powerful, however, there is a limit to how powerful they can be, and they also have to abide by certain rules, so they don’t dare to act recklessly, and I won’t allow them to do so either.”
Ji Feng laughed: “Losing the Rongpeng Group is no big deal, but losing confidence is the most frightening thing! Since they took away the Rongpeng Group, then Mr. Rong, don’t you just build another group, I think, not only should you build a second group, but also destroy this Rongpeng Group that they took away from you, destroy him with your own hands, to make their bamboo basket empty!”
At the end of the sentence, his hand was raised high and slashed downwards, looking extremely imposing.
Ji Feng’s entire person, too, looked atmospheric and arrogant!
Rong Peng’s body couldn’t help but shake slightly as he jerked his head up and looked at Ji Feng.
Ji Feng smiled and said: ”Mr. Rong, I think you don’t want to just put up with being bullied, do you? Since that’s the case, what else is there to say, resist! As for the Martial Family, you don’t have to worry about this, the Martial Family also has to follow the rules, no one can overshadow the sky with one hand, if they go too far, someone will naturally come out and speak up.”
Rong Peng was silent for a long time before he looked up at Ji Feng and asked, “Young Ji, I do want to take revenge, but, I am now left with nothing.”
“How can you have nothing?”
Ji Feng smiled and pointed at himself, then pointed at Rong Suyan who was sitting next to him quietly listening to his conversation with Rong Peng, and smiled, “If you want, I can provide you with everything you need here, and your daughter Suyan has a venture capital company there, so these are enough. Of course, what I would like most is for you to come to me.”
“What Young Ji means is that I should go and help you?” Rong Peng couldn’t help but frown slightly, “But …… Ji Shao, I’m sorry, it’s not that I’m not willing, but I’ve already suffered a big loss here in the Wu family, so I ……”
“I know, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope!”
Ji Feng smiled faintly and said, “But I didn’t say that you should help me either, what I mean is that we can cooperate with each other, of course, not with me either, but with my friends. Of course, if you mind very much, you can also let Su Yan work with my friend.”
“The most crucial question now is, do you still have that guts and confidence to launch an attack on the Rongpeng Group with a very small company that will be snatched away from you in the future?” Ji Feng’s expression became very solemn again and asked seriously.
“Launch an attack?” Rong Peng couldn’t help but laugh, “Ji Shao, you use this word very well, is to launch an attack, attack the city, and eventually rush the Rong Peng Group to its death!”
“Then ……” Ji Feng raised his eyebrows, “the matter of cooperation, we can talk about it?”
“Of course you can …… please sit down.” Rong Peng laughed, “Frankly speaking, after making a decision, that is really a relief, think about this time being forced by that little hoof of Zheng Yuxiu, really anxious I jumped to my feet!”
Rong Peng is indeed truly relieved, Ji Feng’s open invitation, so that his heart not only rekindled the fighting spirit, but also a big stone in his heart also fell to the ground.
In fact, before this, Rong Peng was still a bit hesitant about whether to lean over. After all, for Rong Peng, he is now equivalent to a big trouble, the people of the Wu family do not treat him well and may even deal with him after taking back the Rong Peng Group.
Under such circumstances, Ji Feng might not really dare to accept this person who was hated by the Wu family.
But what Rong Peng did not expect was that Ji Feng did not put up any front at all, and was worried about his situation; he was obviously inviting himself sincerely.
Nonetheless, Ji Feng even subconsciously showed the kind of bravado he had and his arrogant character. It was this that made Rong Peng feel that Ji Feng was definitely much better than Wu Zhihe or even Wu Zhiyong.
Of course, if that was all, it might not be quite enough, but if you added Ji Feng’s origin, then everything would be enough.
Rong Peng knew that if he wanted to take revenge, the young man in front of him, who had an arrogant personality, might be his only hope, and not only that, Ji Feng would probably be the best thing for his daughter to rely on. However, I just don’t know if Ji Feng has a girlfriend now.
Honestly, Rong Peng does not want his daughter to still go to people as a lover, but thinking about his daughter’s relationship with Wu Zhihe once, he can’t help but have some headaches ……
Daughter can now fall in love again, but, if the other party knows what she once experienced, will they have any idea ……
In this instant, quite a few thoughts flashed through Rong Peng’s mind.
“Mr. Rong, just now Zheng Yuxiu mentioned that the distribution of equity in the Rongpeng Group seems to be based on the original Rongpeng Company?” As the two sat down again, Ji Feng took out a cigarette and lit it for each of them before he asked.
“Speaking of this, I can only say that I was confused at the time.” Once the issue of shareholding was brought up, Rong Peng could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly, “At that time, when Rong Peng Company was first established, there was indeed a private agreement that marked that I had 30% of the shares of Rong Peng Company, of course, nominally all the shares of the company were under my name, in reality what happened, I think you are also very clear.”
Ji Feng nodded and smiled, Rongpeng Group was actually the hidden a*set of the Wu family, this was certainly clear to him.
“Originally, if according to the agreement, even if the Rong Peng Group was formed later, I should still have 30% of the shares.” Rong Peng said, “However, at that time when the group was formed, the equity was not just mine alone, there were other individuals who also took shares, and one of the bigwigs from the Wu family also spoke up, at that time I was also riding a tiger, so I did not insist on making a note!”
Rong Peng shook his head, “So, at that time, there was just the original shareholding division agreement, stating whose shares would be put under my name, as for my own real shares, that is, after shaving off everyone else’s shares, what was left, that was mine.”
“But it didn’t occur to me that no one would admit it now once the tables were turned, Rong Peng Group and Rong Peng Company are simply two different enterprises, and although the legal person is both me, according to that previous agreement, the shares that I can really get are only 30% of the shares that the original Rong Peng Company holds in the group.” Rong Peng said.
Ji Feng then understood, that is to say, the current Rong Peng Group was actually a joint venture between several parties, and the original Rong Peng Company, in which it was considered a shareholder.
Then, the shares that Rong Peng could own now were 30% of the shares held by Rong Peng Company. The original result of their negotiation was that Rong Peng would take up 30% of the shares of the Rong Peng Group!
The difference is not small when comparing inside and outside.
“So, does Rongpeng have a big share in the group?” Ji Feng asked again.
“It is not small, Rong Peng Company accounts for more than sixty percent of the shares in the current Rong Peng Group.” Rong Peng said, “And what I take up is only thirty percent of that sixty percent, which is nearly twenty percent!”
“That’s not bad at all.” If we calculate the total a*sets of the Rong Peng Group, this one-fifth of the shares would be worth billions of dollars, right? No wonder the Wu family wants to take back their entire shareholding, they should be very reluctant to share one-fifth of their shares with you.”
“Humph!”
Rong Peng couldn’t help but snort coldly, “They don’t want to give up? Then they are going to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my hard work, and even take away my share, so I can give it up? In a word, they are unreasonable, and we have nowhere to go, so we can only hold our noses and admit it!”
Ji Feng slowly took two puffs of his cigarette before saying, “That’s not quite true, since you have nearly one-fifth of the shares, you should take it back.”
“How can I get it back?”
Rong Peng shook his head and said, “When Rong Peng was established, there were two agreements signed, one was a share entrustment agreement, which stated that 70% of the shares of Rong Peng belonged to an offshore company, only that they entrusted me to take care of it. The other agreement was for my 30% shareholding. However, that 70% shareholding agreement is legally valid, while my 30% shareholding agreement, which was signed privately, is not legally valid at all ……”
“Offshore company?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, and then sneered, “Needless to say, this offshore company must have been registered by someone sent by the Wu family, right? What they did was really stealthy, and they actually came up with this method in order to avoid suspicion. No wonder Zheng Yuxiu dared to come so righteously to ask for the equity ……”
Chapter 1064
Ji Feng did not expect that the Wu family would use the method of entrusting the equity to Rong Peng as an escrow agent for the offshore company, which not only cleverly avoided all the regulations, but was also reasonable and legal, so that no one could pick any fault.
What’s more, the Wu family is so sophisticated that they signed such a shareholding agreement many years ago, allowing the 70% of the shares to be held in the name of the offshore company and entrusting it to Rongpeng. The remaining 30% of the shares were signed privately with Rong Peng, making Rong Peng a real chicken-and-egg loser.
It’s no wonder that Zheng Yuxiu was so arrogant and said that even if the lawsuit went to Yanjing, Rong Peng would still lose, but now it seems that the Wu family has a backhand to do things, and they also have a legal basis, reasonable and legal, it’s strange if the lawsuit is not won!
“Mr. Rong, I’m a little confused, since you know that the 70% of the shares are reasonable and legal, and not yours, then the remaining 30% of the shares, how come there is only a private agreement signed, but not ……” Ji Feng was a little confused.
This private agreement is not legally valid at all, this is something Rong Peng shouldn’t not understand, ah? Then how could he still make such a mistake?
“Of course I know this.” Rong Peng nodded and said, “The reason I didn’t seriously count on this matter was based on two willingnesses. Firstly, the agreement I signed with that offshore company was conditional, that is, when the other party wanted to take back their equity, they had to have my consent and both parties had to negotiate, if I didn’t agree, they wouldn’t be able to take back their equity!”
“Secondly, that the remaining 30% of the shareholding will be under my name.” Rong Peng said, “Under such circumstances, how would I deliberately bother about whether or not the agreement for that 30% equity stake is legally valid?”
“That’s true!”
Ji Feng tapped his head and laughed, “Look at this brain of mine, I’ve been confused by the roundabout ……”
“Hehe ……”
Rong Peng laughed, “Simply put, right now, as long as I don’t agree, they can at most take that thirty percent or so of Rong Peng Group’s equity because it’s someone else’s share and I have no right to interfere. However, this remaining sixty percent or so of shares, no one can touch it!”
Ji Feng nodded slightly, Rong Peng had already said before that when the Rong Peng Group was formed, there were other people who had shares, and in fact, the shares that he and the Wu family’s people had in the Rong Peng Group was this sixty percent or so.
“So in that case, in fact even if you don’t hand over that thirty percent of the equity, no one can do anything to you, right?” Ji Feng asked, “This thirty percent of the original equity, which is also just about one-fifth of the Rongpeng Group’s shares, is simply yours, and in terms of the proper way, there is no reason at all for the Wu family to snatch it away, is there?”
“Strictly speaking …… is indeed the case!” Rong Peng nodded his head slightly.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be a little puzzled again, “Then why did you say before that you actually had nothing?”
“My son is still in prison ……,” Rong Peng said bitterly.
Ji Feng was then silent, it turned out that what Rong Peng was really afraid of was not any contract or agreement or anything like that, but his son who was still in prison.
It could be foreseen that if Rong Peng did not hand over all the equity, what kind of treatment his son would encounter in prison. The mere thought of that scenario was enough to make one’s scalp tingle, not to mention the fact that it was his own son who was being abused at hand.
What’s more, even if he had been abused, he wouldn’t have been able to find the Wu family’s head, and in a place like prison, there were far too many people willing to come out and take the blame.
Therefore, Rong Peng could only choose to go soft!
“Actually, I once thought that as long as I could get Bao Gang out and be able to send the three of them out, I would immediately kill myself!” Rong Peng said in a deep voice: “As I said earlier, there was a condition in my agreement with that offshore company, that they must have my consent if they want to take back their equity, and if I die, they won’t be able to take back their equity ……”
“Then all the equity, will all fall into the hands of Suyan and the three of them!” Rong Peng shook his head and sighed softly, “Unfortunately, it’s a bad move, ah, I didn’t expect that Bao Gang had already been confined and wouldn’t be able to leave.”
“It was Zheng Yuxiu who did it!” Rong Suyan sneered from the side, “I really don’t know whether I should hate her or thank her.”
If Zheng Yuxiu hadn’t brought Bao Gang under control, then I’m afraid they would have gone abroad by now, and their father, Rong Peng, would have committed suicide. From this perspective, this vicious act of Zheng Yuxiu’s was the one that saved Rong Peng’s life.
However, this was not Zheng Yuxiu’s intention, she wanted to control Rong Baogang to force Rong Peng to hand over his entire shareholding, even without any regard for his relatives’ feelings.
In that respect, Rong Suyan simply hated Zheng Yuxiu to the bone!
“Some people want to cover the sky with one hand, they have to see if their hands are that big first!” Ji Feng shook his head and smiled mockingly, “Mr. Rong, you don’t have to worry about your son’s place, don’t look at Zheng Yuxiu jumping around so happily, she is just a clown. Not only that, in addition to that, you will definitely get back your nearly one-fifth of the equity.”
“Good!”
Rong Peng nodded heavily, “Since you are so confident, how can I hold back? Young Ji, as long as I can get back all the share that belongs to me, I will have the confidence to rise again from the east, just like you said, I will destroy Rong Peng Group with my own hands, that is my heart and soul, I will definitely not let others snatch it away even if I destroy it!”
Ji Feng nodded with a smile and said, “With this word from you, I am completely at ease.”
“Didn’t that little hoof of Zheng Yuxiu only give us three days? Then, I’ll compete with her.” Rong Peng sneered, “I’ll first transfer all this equity that doesn’t belong to me, to her, but the share that belongs to me, if she wants to snatch it away, she’ll have to think hard about it.”
He turned his head to Rong Suyan and said, “Suyan, you will go back to Jiangzhou tomorrow, first set up some properties, especially real estate, to set up, we are leaving Yuezhou.”
“Leave Yuezhou?” Rong Suyan was stunned.
“Yes, there are people from the Wu family everywhere here, if we are here, then we are still at the mercy of others?” Rong Peng said, “Let’s go to Jiangzhou, there, I’ll use the shareholding that belongs to me and play well with the Wu family. Anyway, if we want to smooth out all the a*sets of the Rong Peng Group, it will be enough to keep them busy for a while, and we have all the time in the world to start preparing.”
Looking at her father, who had renewed his fighting spirit and was full of high spirits, Rong Suyan could not help but nod happily, “Yes! I’ve already bought two villas in Jiangzhou, both in my own name, and they have nothing to do with the Rong Peng Group, so you and my mother can go there anytime.”
“Good.”
Rong Peng rubbed his hands together and said in a hard voice, “The Wu family …… crossed the river to tear down the bridge, we can’t just go along with them like that!”
Ji Feng saw him like this, also can’t help but secretly nod, such a business lord, finally did not sink down on this, but renewed the high fighting spirit, in the future the Wu family can really have a headache.
If the two of them are determined to attack the Rong Peng Group, it is not easy to say who will win and who will lose.
Especially, Rong Peng’s hand also holds as much as one-fifth of Rong Peng Group’s shares, which is a huge amount of money!
“Ji Shao ……” Rong Peng stood up, came to Ji Feng’s front and extended his hand, “Thank you! If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid that my old bones would be decrepit from now on, even if I still have the will to fight, but without your help, I wouldn’t have that confidence to fight against the Wu family!”
Ji Feng laughed, “That’s what I should do, Su Yan and I are already friends, besides, I have some problems with the Wu family, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.”
“Good point.” Rong Peng nodded and said solemnly, “Ji Shao, it’s still too early to mention the matter of cooperation, and I won’t give you a blank cheque, after I get my family settled in Jiangzhou, we can talk about cooperation again, of course, as long as you don’t mind my old bones!”
Ji Feng nodded and laughed, “I’m not that confused, besides, Mr. Rong, you’re not old at all, you’re still in your prime, you can struggle for at least another twenty years!”
Rong Peng laughed happily, “Young Ji, if you don’t mind, just call me Old Rong, don’t call me Mr. Rong, Mr. Rong.”
“That’s out of order, I’m friends with Su Yan, let’s call you Uncle Rong.” Ji Feng smiled, “You should also stop calling me Ji Shao, just call me by my name, Ji Feng. Or you can call me Xiao Feng, that’s what everyone in my family calls me.”
“Little Feng!”
Rong Peng laughed harshly, “It’s time for us to join forces and give the Wu and Zheng families a headache.”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but smile slightly, yes, he and Rong Peng joining forces could definitely give the Wu family a headache for a while.
“Right Little Feng, I heard Su Yan talk about it, your friend also has a group under his name right?” Rong Peng suddenly remembered something and said, “The group has just been established, so it must be hard to keep up with the talent in management, right? If you don’t mind, you can stay in Yuezhou for two more days. I’ll call a meeting with all the senior and management staff of the group, and you can pick whichever one you like.”
Ji Feng was stunned: “Uncle Rong, you are ……”
“Since this group is on the verge of not belonging to me anymore, then I have nothing to be polite about.” Rong Peng coldly snorted, “Over the years, I have painstakingly cultivated a large group of talents, now it is just the right time to take them away together, this is also my first step to start a war with the Wu family!”
“Uncle Rong, really let me pick?” Ji Feng couldn’t help but ask with a smile, but there was an unstoppable joy in his heart.
