The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Coming to his senses, Zhao Weimin instructed several of the Fu general managers to handle the surprise inspections by their respective departments.

He stayed in his office, trying to find a solution.

These are all just means to an end.

To completely resolve his current predicament, he must address the root cause, which means getting those targeting him to let go.

Otherwise, even if the person leaves today, they'll come back to check again in a few days.

Is his company even going to stay in business?
Will it be able to continue operating normally?
What will his employees think?
Even if there are no problems, it will still cause panic and spread rumors, causing the company's stock price to collapse even faster, and investors will want to withdraw their funds.

Although Liang Yan was impossible for him, he couldn't think of anyone else besides her right now, so he could only call her to test the waters.

If it really is the other party, he can only admit his mistake and get through the current difficulties first.

After all, the fact that she was able to find these people to target her means that her background is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Zhao Weimin dismissed his secretary and called Liang Yan.

Meanwhile, Liang Yan was receiving suppliers and distributors who had come to apologize to her.

Since Cathay Financial is now in dire straits and can hardly save itself, they are naturally unwilling to offend Liang Yan for the sake of the other party, so they want to make amends.

When she saw Zhao Weimin calling, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Without avoiding other people, she answered the call directly.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Liang Yan teased, "You're such a busy person, why did you suddenly decide to call me today?"

"Mr. Liang, let's be frank."

Zhang Weimin went straight to the point and asked, "Did you do all of this?"

"I don't quite understand what Mr. Zhao is saying."

Liang Yan feigned surprise and said, "You're not talking about the trouble you've been having lately, are you? I've heard about it. Think about it, have you offended some big shot?"

"Isn't that important person you?"

"Of course it wasn't me."

Liang Yan laughed and said, "President Zhao, you think too highly of me. I don't have such abilities."

"I'm currently overwhelmed with work because of your little tricks, suffering from insomnia night after night, and I'm almost developing depression."

"Really not you?" Zhao Weimin asked again over the phone.
His attitude just became cold.

If it weren't for Liang Yan, he certainly wouldn't have given her a friendly look!

Although she was in trouble, she was not someone a nobody like her could bully at will.

Hearing the change in his attitude, Liang Yan replied leisurely, "Of course it's me. We women are the most vengeful."

"It really was you!"

Zhao Weimin was somewhat shocked; he hadn't expected Liang Yan to have such great power!

Am I the strange one?

Liang Yan said calmly, "Everyone has a few good friends, right, Mr. Zhao?"

Because the two hadn't kept their phone call a secret from others, the business owners who had come to her door today hoping to salvage the relationship were already sweating bullets as they listened to her words.

Good heavens, the recent setbacks that Cathay Financial has encountered were actually orchestrated by General Manager Liang!

That's a financial tycoon in Jiangcheng City with tens of billions of yuan in cash.

And those in departments with real power.

If any one of them were to target a small company or business like ours, we would be utterly crushed, and we wouldn't survive even a day longer.

Now, they are all thinking about how to salvage the situation, please Liang Yan, avoid being implicated and targeted, and escape this calamity.

The other side of the phone.

Zhang Weimin also fell silent in his office.

He never imagined that he would stumble over such an insignificant woman.

But what can we do now?
Faced with the choice between survival and dignity, he could only choose survival.

Zhang Weimin clenched his fists, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said with a smile, "President Liang, it's all a misunderstanding. What happened before was my fault. I hope you won't take it to heart. Let's all get along peacefully and make money together."

"You think it's a misunderstanding just because you say so?"

Liang Yan said coldly, "President Zhao, you really know how to joke."

What will it take for you to stop?

Zhao Weimin said, "Our company has already suffered losses of over 100 million yuan. Isn't that enough for you to vent your anger? Do you really want both sides to fight to the death before you're satisfied?"

"Didn't you start it first?"

Liang Yan said, "I tried to talk to you nicely at first, but you were unwilling. Now that you know I'm not easy to bully, you want to make peace? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"I was blind to your greatness before and offended you."

Zhao Weimin compromised, saying, "Mr. Liang, how about this: let's go out for dinner tonight, and I'll apologize to you in person."

Furthermore, all future business collaborations in the entertainment sector, including those between my companies and investments, will be exclusively with you, with the most favorable terms available.

"Your offer is indeed very tempting."

Liang Yan said, "If it were before, I would have been 100% willing, but now, it's too late..."

"What do you mean?"

"I started the fire, but..."

Liang Yan replied, "This fire is completely beyond my control, and I have no way to control it. You'd better pray to God for protection."

"Liang..."

Before Zhao Weimin could finish speaking on the phone, Liang Yan hung up on him.

Then she looked at the bosses in front of her and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what brings you all here today? Is it another case of insufficient materials causing order delays?"

"No no."

The bosses exchanged glances and smiled awkwardly, "We came here today to tell you, Mr. Liang, that we have been working hard to help with the shipment and we will definitely be able to deliver on time."

Furthermore, to thank you for your support over the years, we are willing to give up 10% of our profits.

"Twenty percent."

Liang Yan laughed and said directly, "Otherwise, there's no need to talk. Since you're all so busy with your business, you won't miss me. I'll go find someone else."

"No, Mr. Liang."

Upon hearing this, everyone hardened their hearts and immediately said, "2% or 2%, as long as you, Mr. Liang, are magnanimous and don't target us in the future."

"Of course, I am a very honest woman. I will only retaliate if someone is dishonest first."

Liang Yan said, "Shall we sign a new contract now?"

"Okay, Mr. Liang, no problem."

Everyone nodded and had no choice but to agree.

In Zhao Weimin's office, listening to the busy tone on the phone, he lost control of his emotions for the first time, angrily smashing his phone, startling his secretary who immediately rushed in.

She called out with concern, "Mr. Zhao, are you alright?"

"fine."

Zhao Weimin sat down, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and asked, "How is the situation outside?"

"We're still investigating."

The secretary paused for a moment, then added, "This investigation was very thorough, tracing back to accounts from the previous three years."

"It seems like they won't leave until they find out what's wrong."

Zhao Weimin muttered something to himself, gave a self-deprecating laugh, then waved his hand and said, "Go out, I want to be alone."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, call me if you need anything."

The female secretary said something in a low voice, and glanced at her boss, whom she had served for ten years, with a complicated expression. It was the first time she had seen him so disheveled and powerless.

Now that he was all alone again, he tried his best to calm himself down.

Although Liang Yan directly rejected my request for reconciliation during our conversation, she also revealed a piece of information.

"She started the fire, but couldn't she control it?"

Does this mean that Jian Shiwei, that crazy woman, or the group of people outside the door, will actually listen to her?

Who could it be? Who has the ability to make the other party stop?
He steeled himself and called some of his friends in the political arena, asking them one by one in hopes of getting some useful information.

Or perhaps it would be good to spend some money to get rid of the people in those two departments.

As a result, the person couldn't be moved.

The other party explained very subtly that this was the idea of ​​certain people above, and that they had been given instructions, so they had no say in it and dared not interfere.

However, he also learned some other useful information.

Some people suggested that he investigate the people behind Jian Shiwei, or her interpersonal relationships, which might yield some results!

Upon receiving this answer, Zhao Weimin immediately called his secretary in and instructed him to quickly investigate the relevant information.

By the third day, his subordinates still hadn't found out who Jian Shiwei's backer was.

However, he accidentally discovered that Jian Shiwei actually knew Xi Huaimin's daughter, Xinuo.

Because in the photo, Xinuo clearly speaks very casually and without any restraint in front of the other person.

And Xinuo is good friends with Lin Jingyao, the daughter of the Chen family.

And since her youngest son, Zhao Tai, is quite close to them, she could ask him to inquire about it!
Thinking of this, Zhao Weimin immediately called his son and explained the situation.

Zhao Tai was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

He never imagined that his seemingly omnipotent father, who looked down on him, would ask him for a favor.

This feels absolutely amazing.

He said confidently, "Dad, I promise to complete the mission."

That evening, Zhao Tai found an excuse to invite Lin Jingyao out to play.

Of course, Hino went along with her.

We all knew each other privately before.

After the two met, played around for a while, and had a meal, Zhao Tai didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Princess Xi, do you know a woman named Jian Shiwei?"

"Jian Shiwei?"

Hino repeated the sentence, then asked in confusion, "Yes, I know her. Why are you asking her?"

"I told them to ask."

Zhao Tai said bluntly, "It seems that our family has been doing business with her recently. My dad wants to know who her boss is. Do you know?"

"Her boss?"

Hino said, "Of course I know, it's my boyfriend."

"Who's your boyfriend?"

"Xu Yun".

Xinuo said smugly, "Jingyao has seen her."

"What a scumbag."

Lin Jingyao pouted and said, "I don't know what you like about him."

"I won't allow you to talk about him like that."

Hino frowned and said, "Otherwise, I'll really get angry."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Lin Jingyao sighed, "He's great, he's the best in the world, come on."

After the group parted ways.

Zhao Tai quickly told his father the news.

"Xu Yun?"

Zhao Weimin thought the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Suddenly he remembered.

The recent redevelopment of the old city and the Jiangzhong Peninsula project in the south of the city seem to be all being handled by Yuntian Real Estate, and the financial backer of this group appears to be a Hong Kong investment group.

I once heard someone from within the government mention that the Hong Kong investment group, which had exceeded 10 billion, belonged to a young man named Xu Yun.

Therefore, it can be said that cloud-based real estate is Xu Yun's business.

Now I know that the Yuntian Private Equity Fund controlled by Jian Shiwei is actually also owned by this Xu Yun.

Think about it, both of these organizations, including the real estate company, coincidentally contain the word "cloud".

A young man who can simultaneously own two investment institutions and private equity funds with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan, as well as a real estate company, demonstrates his immense power.

Even I would probably be nothing compared to him.

So the enemy he had always faced was not Liang Yan, but this young man named Xu Yun?
And is Liang Yan related to him?

Feeling that he had figured out the mastermind behind the whole thing, Zhao Weimin wanted to break the deadlock, so he had to find a way to meet this man named Xu Yun.

So the next day, he went to the villa area of ​​East Lake and found Xi Huaimin.

Xi Huaimin was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Weimin suddenly visit him.

Jiangcheng is not a big city, and the two knew each other. They were both prominent figures in the business world.

Xi Huaimin said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, what brings you here today?"

"I heard you retired and are now focusing on health and wellness."

Zhao Weimin smiled and said, "So I took advantage of some free time today to come and chat with you and have some of your fine tea. I don't know if you'll welcome me."

"Of course, you're welcome."

After inviting him to his tea room, Xi Huaimin said, "Seriously, I just managed to get some fifty-year-old Pu'er tea a few days ago. Want to try some?"

"Okay, have a taste."

Looking at Xi Huaimin's skillful tea-making, Zhao Weimin praised, "President Xi, your tea-making skills are getting better and better, comparable to a master."

"you flatter me."

Xi Huaimin casually said, "When it comes to tea-making skills, I'm not even as good as a young man. That's the real master level. I can't even compare to him."

"Who is it?" Zhao Weimin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xi Huaimin smiled and said, "It's none other than my daughter's boyfriend. He's quite young, but he's also very knowledgeable about tea. I'll introduce you two sometime in the future."

"It's not that his name is Xu Yun, is it?" Zhao Weimin asked rhetorically.

"Oh?"

Xi Huaimin stared at him, then smiled with some surprise, "You two know each other?"

"do not know."

Zhao Weimin shook his head and said, "I've heard of him, but I never expected him to be your daughter's boyfriend."

"..."

Xi Huaimin is not stupid.

He had long suspected that Zhao Weimin hadn't come to see him for tea; he must have something to discuss.

Adding to what he'd heard recently, he laughed and said, "Just tell me what's wrong. If I can help, I will; if not, there's nothing I can do."

Now you know, it was already quite an achievement that I was able to step down from my position safely.

"There is indeed something going on."

Zhao Weimin pleaded, "You must have heard about my recent predicament, which is quite terrible."

"Yeah, I heard."

Xi Huaimin asked doubtfully, "However, there's nothing I can do to help with this."

"you can."

Zhao Weimin explained, "As long as you step in and mediate for me, and get your future son-in-law Xu Yun to be lenient and let me off the hook, that will be fine."

Xi Huaimin: "..."

Isn't the one he's fighting against a newly emerged private equity fund?
What does this have to do with Xu Yun?

Could it be...? (End of Chapter)
