Chapter 1028 Beauty Trap

The house that Suning bought in Sijiu City this time is located in a courtyard by the canal. The classic Chinese courtyard villa is very consistent with Suning's aesthetic taste. Of course, the price also cost Suning nearly 800 million yuan.

Suning’s favorite thing every day is to linger with Lin Youyou in every corner of the mansion. He feels that this kind of enjoyment of life is what he has always wanted, and at the same time, he can leave his own mark in this classic mansion.

Of course, Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu who were invited this time were both stunned. They felt that Suning, whom they had met once before at the Shanghai Golf Course, was so unfamiliar. They almost missed this invisible top billionaire.

Of course, Director Yu did not feel upset because of his mistake. Instead, he walked towards Su Ning with a smile on his face and extended his right hand, "Mr. Xu, we meet again."

"Mr. Yu, I hope you and your wife won't blame me for not preparing your favorite golf course this time." Suning, who was shaking hands with Mr. Yu, said with a smile and a double meaning.

"Mr. Xu, that's not true! My wife and I feel honored to be guests in Mr. Xu's private mansion."

Then, Mrs. Yu, who was standing behind Director Yu, smiled and extended her hand to Su Ning. "Hello, Mr. Xu! Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mrs. Yu! I often hear Gu Jia mention you, and thank you for introducing Mr. Yu to me." Su Ning knew that the woman in front of him was a minor star, and Mr. Yu positioned her as nothing more than a pretty vase.

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome! Your fireworks company is truly capable of this. Furthermore, the fireworks show at Yanshan Paradise was a resounding success. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for presenting us with such a classic visual feast."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu, for your affirmation! Please come in." After hearing Mrs. Yu's praise, Su Ning hurriedly invited the guests into the house.

"Thank you! Why didn't I see Mrs. Xu today?" Mrs. Yu mentioned Gu Jia at an inappropriate time. She must have not heard about Su Ning and Gu Jia.

"Gu Jia is in Shanghai handling company matters, and now she's in charge of the fireworks company."

"I see."

When Suning led Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu to the living room of the villa, the couple suddenly felt that they were the country bumpkins. It was because Suning's house was too low-key, luxurious and profound.

At this moment, Director Yu was directly attracted by a large blue and white porcelain round plate in the living room. He stood there with his eyes blazing as he looked at this top national treasure in front of him, and once again deeply felt the unparalleled strength of Suning.

Suning naturally noticed where the customer's attention was focused, and then he smiled at Mrs. Yu, who was a minor celebrity and was standing next to him.

Then he looked at Director Yu, who was fascinated, and asked, "Director Yu, are you also interested in antiques?"

"Yes! My favorite thing is to visit various antique auctions. I almost always buy something I like, but I have never seen such a top-notch collection."

"Haha, I got this collection by chance. It was badly damaged at the time, and I spent a lot of effort to repair it."

"Oh? Mr. Xu actually knows how to restore antiques?" At this time, Director Yu looked at Su Ning with surprise and asked.

"I know a little bit."

It was not until Suning invited Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu to sit down in the living room that Mr. Yu took his reluctant gaze away from the antiques. At the same time, Lin Youyou also brought a bottle of top-quality red wine and a highball glass.

At this moment, all of Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu's thoughts were on Su Ning. Mr. Yu looked at Su Ning with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Mr. Xu, I was rude last time at the golf course. I didn't expect you to be such a wonderful person, so appealing to both the refined and the popular."

"I don't deserve it! It's just a little hobby of mine."

"Mr. Xu, I know a small circle for antique exchanges. It's full of bigwigs in China who love antique jade. I'll take you there to appreciate it when the time comes."

"Okay! Thank you, Director Yu."

"You're welcome! Mr. Xu, I heard that you got investment from an investment company?" Then Director Yu went straight to the point and asked Suning.

"Yes! Ningshan Capital! In fact, Ningshan Capital has been developing overseas and recently wanted to test the waters in the mainland market. It just so happened that Ningshan Capital chose my Phantom Project." Suning knew that the Yu Group, which was on the decline, was about to collapse, and he must have come here this time to learn about the news he had released.

"Mr. Xu, could you please introduce me to Mr. Su from Ningshan Capital? Our Yu Group has recently encountered difficulties and is seeking for capital injection." Sure enough, Mr. Yu looked at Su Ning in front of him without any hesitation, and there was no need to continue to hide it at this time.

Then, Su Ning looked at Director Yu without commenting. Of course, the question he asked was a knowing question. "Director Yu, I remember that you found many investment giants on the day of the fireworks show. Why do you need to find a new investment company now?"

"Alas! The last time we tried to do that, it didn't work! Even though those people claimed to be friendly with me, their offer was a complete rip-off. They wanted 40% of my group's shares for just 200 million. By then, the Yu Group would have been completely wiped out."

"Mr. Yu, all listed companies are in a similar situation. It's simply difficult to hold onto a company forever. I think you should have figured this out a long time ago."

"Although the words are very good, I still feel very unwilling. Now only you, Mr. Xu, can help me. I want to obtain a large amount of funds for turnover."

"Mr. Yu, today is the second time we meet. Why should I help you?" Then Su Ning suddenly looked at Mr. Yu meaningfully and asked back.

"Mr. Xu, as long as you help me through this difficult time, I, Yu Zhihong, will owe you a favor."

"Mr. Yu, we are all veterans in the business world, so it would be better if you offer more practical conditions." Suning shook his head without comment, feeling that the Mr. Yu in front of him was too naive.

"This……"

"Well, Director Yu, you might as well go back and think carefully about what price you can pay for this money. After all, businessmen are all motivated by profit."

"Mr. Xu, what do you think?" Director Yu naturally understood that there would be heavy bleeding this time. After all, the most important thing was to get through the difficulties safely and survive.

"In fact, we at Phantom Culture are interested in entering the domestic large-scale theme park industry, so Mr. Yu might as well sell the six large theme parks under the Yu Group to us in a package."

"Mr. Xu, how much are you willing to offer from Phantom Culture?"

"One hundred million."

"What? This price is too low. It's seriously inconsistent with the output value of our park."

"Mr. Yu, we are different from those investment companies that are interested in your Yu Group's shares. We have not caused any impact on your Yu Group's main business."

"No! Our six large theme parks are all located in first-tier cities, and the price of the land alone far exceeds your 100 million offer."

"No way! This is the condition we offer from Phantom Culture. Even if Director Yu finds Ningshan Capital, it will be useless. After all, everyone's interests are similar."

Director Yu simply considered it for a moment with a grim expression, then agreed while also stating a new condition, "Mr. Xu, I can agree to accept this deal, but Phantom Culture will need to lend us an additional 100 million."

"Sure! But you'll need to pledge 15% of the Yu Group's shares as collateral." Suning also stated his new conditions. After all, the Yu Group's real estate business was something Suning was very jealous of. "What? Mr. Xu, didn't you just say you weren't interested in our shares?"

"There's nothing we can do! We at Phantom Culture also need to avoid risks. I believe you, Mr. Yu, should be able to understand us."

"Okay! I can agree to all Mr. Xu's conditions, but I don't know how long it will take for the funds to be in place."

"Anytime! Phantom Culture's legal department will draft the contract immediately, and the funds will be in place the moment the contract is officially signed."

"Mr. Xu, I wish us a pleasant cooperation." At this time, Director Yu picked up the red wine sent by Lin Youyou with a relaxed look on his face. He finally solved the funding problem of their Yu Group.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Suning also raised his glass of red wine and clinked glasses with Mr. Yu.

After the two parties reached a deal, Director Yu naturally felt much more relaxed.

Soon, Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu said goodbye to Suning’s private residence together, and there were more smiles on their faces when they left.

After leaving Suning's luxurious villa in their own luxury car, Mrs. Yu, who was sitting next to Mr. Yu, suddenly said, "Honey, the woman who poured us wine just now seems to have been an employee of our Yanshan Paradise."

"Oh? Really?" At this time, Director Yu couldn't help but look at Mrs. Yu in surprise and asked.

"That should be right! I saw her wearing the Yanshan Paradise uniform at the fireworks show a few days ago."

"Well, Xiao An, go to Yanshan Paradise and check it out later." Then Director Yu looked at the assistant sitting in the passenger seat and gave instructions.

"Yes! Chairman." The co-pilot's assistant naturally agreed without hesitation.

As the big boss of Yu Group, it was easy for him to investigate Lin Youyou. Soon all the information about Lin Youyou was placed in front of Director Yu, as well as some records and information about the correspondence between Lin Youyou and Suning.

Mrs. Yu, who also saw the truth, smiled and said, "Husband, it seems that Xu Huanshan is very lustful, and I heard that he and Gu Jia have divorced."

"Oh? Then why did you ask that question even though you already knew the answer?" As expected, Director Yu looked at his wife beside him with an unhappy face and asked.

"I...I just feel a little sorry for Gu Jia."

"Hmph! Don't be so self-righteous! If you really ruin my plan, you won't even have a chance to regret it."

"Honey, I'm sorry! I won't do this again next time."

"Humph!"

"Honey, how about I ask my former agent, Sister Wu, to help me contact some beautiful female stars?" Mrs. Yu, who had angered Director Yu, then offered her suggestion.

"Lisa, are you trying to use a beauty trap on Xu Huanshan?" At this time, Director Yu also understood his wife's intention. After all, the beauty trap has always been a tried and tested trick.

"That's right! I feel like today's conditions are definitely not his bottom line. The honey trap might be able to break through his psychological defenses."

"That makes sense! But I feel like the little celebrity isn't big enough. Real big bosses wouldn't be interested in these low-priced products."

"Huh? Then...then I'll have Sister Wu try to contact some second- or third-tier female celebrities."

"You don't understand what I mean. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb. If you want to reap the rewards, you must be willing to put in the bait."

"Husband, what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Yu looked at Mr. Yu with a confused look on her face and asked.

"Lisa, I think you should go in person! After all, you are my wife. Xu Huanshan will definitely feel that he has taken advantage of us. At that time, we will have the final say on some of the terms."

"Ah? No! I'm your wife, how can you let me do this?"

"Lisa, the life I'm giving you now is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people, and our relationship is one of shared success and shared failure. As long as you help me deal with Xu Huanshan, I promise to give you 2% of the shares of Yu Group."

"..."

"Lisa, you don't want me to be left with nothing, do you?"

"But...but I'm your wife!" Mrs. Yu naturally refused this request desperately. The price involved was simply not something she could afford. "No...no...I can't do this."

"Lisa, why don't you understand? If we don't let Xu Huanshan get a taste of the sweetness, we might not even be able to get in touch with Ningshan Capital. And according to my understanding and investigation, Ningshan Capital behind Xu Huanshan is the hidden giant."

"Honey, do you really want me to do this?"

"Lisa, we desperately need strong capital support right now. As long as we can successfully capture this lustful Xu Huanshan, we can get access to Ningshan Capital behind him. Then our Yu Group will have overseas capital to support it."

Mrs. Yu was undoubtedly very depressed and aggrieved at this time. She was already very conflicted about marrying into a wealthy family as an older husband and a younger wife, and now her old husband was so disrespectful to her.

There was a moment when Mrs. Yu really wanted to reject her husband's unreasonable request. After all, she was a small star and still had dignity, not to mention that this was a very shameful behavior.

But thinking of her current wealthy life and noble status, Mrs. Yu swallowed back her words of refusal. She knew that she could not live without such a luxurious life.

In fact, Mrs. Yu’s husband did not tell her the truth. The problems faced by their Yu Group are far from being solved by 200 million, so they are eager to join forces with the more powerful Ningshan Capital.

Of course, Mrs. Yu’s husband did not value his young wife very much. After all, he married her just for her good looks.

Now that his wife can contribute to his career, Director Yu naturally pushed his wife out without hesitation.

Soon, Suning's Phantom Culture signed an agreement with Yu Group and transferred 200 million yuan to Yu Group without delay. All of Yu Group's large-scale theme park businesses were sold to Phantom Culture.

Seeing that Suning’s Phantom Culture is indeed so powerful, the chairman of Yu Group is more keen to contact Ningshan Capital. After all, Ningshan Capital is the key to their Yu Group’s breakthrough.

Then he looked at his young wife who was playing with his son, and Director Yu once again made up his mind to use the beauty trap. A woman meant very little to his business empire.
