Chapter 358: Influence reaches a new level!
The sunlight shines into the office through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the leather sofa a golden hue.
Sun Zhiqiang stood in front of the window, his back to everyone, his fingers unconsciously stroking the window frame. Outside the window was a bustling neighborhood with tall buildings and heavy traffic, but he felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff.
"Everyone, please take a seat." He turned around, his voice a little tense, and the corners of his mouth barely formed an arc.
The atmosphere in the office was so heavy that water could almost be squeezed out of it. The cold air from the central air-conditioning was whirring, but it couldn't blow away the invisible feeling of oppression.
Sun Zhiqiang took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present.
Lin Haotian crossed his legs and tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers rhythmically; Cheng Songda pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and the look behind the lenses was dim and unclear; Xu Chong stood behind Qin Han like a door god, with a murderous aura under his muscular suit.
"About the bet..." Sun Zhiqiang said, his voice as dry as sandpaper, "I admit defeat."
As soon as he said this, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
The pride that had brought him twenty years of dominance in the business world was now crushed by his own hands.
But he quickly adjusted his expression and changed the subject: "But now the company is under investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the equity change may..."
"Mr. Sun," Qin Han suddenly interrupted, his voice not loud but powerful.
He slowly took out a document from his briefcase, and his metal cufflinks flashed a cold light in the sunlight.
"This is a notarized contract. Article 17 clearly states that unless the regulatory authorities formally file a case, it will not affect the equity transfer."
Sun Zhiqiang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Of course he remembered the clause he had added himself. It was to prevent his opponent from cheating, but he didn't expect it to become a noose around his neck.
"Old Sun,"
Lin Haotian suddenly spoke, his tone as relaxed as if he was chatting about the weather, "You should accept the loss if you are willing to bet. Besides, it's just 10% of the shares, not your life."
"Yes."
Cheng Songda continued, tapping his knees with his fingers, "We are all witnesses."
Sun Zhiqiang felt his temple throbbing.
This group of people!
When signing the contract, everyone pretended to be fair and selfless, but now they all stand on Qin Han's side!
His eyes swept across everyone and finally fell on Qin Han.
The young man was leisurely playing with the buttons of his clothes, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already won.
"I told you it's not convenient now!"
Sun Zhiqiang slammed the table and stood up, and the solid wooden desk made a dull sound.
He felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and his vision went dark. "I was called in for questioning by the ID Committee yesterday. Don't you know that changing the equity at this critical moment is just asking for trouble?!"
The conference room suddenly became eerily quiet, with only the faint buzzing sound of the humidifier.
Qin Han stood up slowly and gracefully. He adjusted the cuffs of his suit and his eyes suddenly turned cold. "Boss Sun, I'll say this one last time - I want this share today! Even God can't stop me!"
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and shook it gently: "Either you sign now, or I will hold a press conference immediately and let the whole network see how the boss of Infinite Auto is refusing to pay his debts."
His voice was getting softer and softer, but every word was as sharp as a knife. "By the way, let me remind you that Article 23 of the contract stipulates that the party in breach of contract must pay double compensation. In other words..."
"20% of the shares." Xu Chong suddenly interrupted, with an undisguised threat in his voice.
Sun Zhiqiang felt like he was falling into an icy cave.
20%! That means the controlling stake has changed hands!
He saw the covetous eyes of the old foxes on the board of directors, the phone calls from the bank demanding payment, and the scene of the empire he had painstakingly built for twenty years falling apart...
The air in the office seemed to freeze.
Sun Zhiqiang felt like everyone's gazes were stabbing at him like knives...
He walked slowly back to his desk, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, and when he picked up the Montblanc pen, the pen body left a deep indentation on his palm.
"I'll sign." These two words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, with a bloody smell.
The rustling sound of the pen tip scratching on the paper was particularly harsh in the silent office.
When the last stroke was made, Sun Zhiqiang felt as if something was being torn out of his body. He looked out the window, the sun was still shining brightly, but his heart was filled with gloom.
Regret welled up in my mind again. If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
Qin Han carefully checked the signature and nodded with satisfaction: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Sun."
He put away the contract and added as he turned around, "By the way, remember to issue an official statement. After all... it has to comply with the regulations."
The moment the office door closed, Sun Zhiqiang sat down dejectedly in his boss chair.
……
That night,
The three-Michelin-star restaurant "Yu Tang Chun Nuan" on the Bund in Shanghai is brightly lit.
Qin Han reserved the entire top terrace, with a panoramic view of the Huangpu River at night. Under the crystal chandelier, waiters shuttled around with Dom Pérignon champagne, and the aroma of caviar and truffles intertwined in the air.
He was dressed in a tailor-made dark suit, standing in the middle of the banquet hall with great dignity, chatting and laughing with the bigwigs.
Lin Haotian, Xu Chong, Cheng Songda, Wang Tianyu, Li Guohua, Zhao Tianhao, Liu Haiyang, Zhang Mingyuan and other business leaders gathered here to celebrate the amazing miracle created by Qin Han in the financial field.
"Boss Qin, this is for you!" Zhang Mingyuan held up the crystal glass, his face flushed with a tipsy glow. "A 275% return in just half a month. I've been in the financial industry for years, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing!"
Qin Han smiled slightly and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
The bubbles of champagne exploded on the tip of my tongue, bringing with it the sweetness of victory.
"If you ask me, this move was a stroke of genius." Cheng Songda pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes flashing with shrewdness behind the lenses. "The timing of the Tianneng Power wave was so accurate."
Xu Chong sat on the chair with his arms and legs stretched out, tapping the table with his thick fingers: "Old Sun has fallen this time. Brother, your words about compliance are really great!" After he said that, he laughed, causing everyone to laugh too.
Chen Yazhi swung her wine glass gracefully, her red lips slightly parted: "Brother, I am your number one fan now. Don't forget to let me know if there is any good opportunity next time."
"In 15 days, I earned 10 billion with a capital of 27 billion, and the profit rate is as high as 5000%! I just told this result to an old friend, and he said I was talking in my sleep! Hahahaha..." As he spoke, Wang Tianyu could not help shaking his head in amazement, with shock on his face beyond words.
"To be honest, when I saw Lao Lin, Lao Xu, and Lao Cheng talking about how great Mr. Qin was, I was a little skeptical. I thought there must be something fishy going on. How could such an outrageous thing happen in this world?"
Zhao Tianhao sighed and smiled, "But now, I'm convinced! Hearing is not as good as seeing! 270% damn, this is not an investment, this is printing money! Mr. Qin, I, Zhao, have made you my friend. From now on, if you have any instructions, just open your mouth! I, Zhao Tianhao, will never be vague! This glass of wine is my apology!"
After saying that, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, Liu Haiyang also picked up a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp without saying anything. He said in a deep voice: "Boss Qin, it's all in the wine. If you have anything to say in the future, I'll talk to you. Everyone knows what kind of person I am, Liu Haiyang. When we get to know each other more, Boss Qin will know what kind of person I am."
Li Guohua smiled bitterly and stood up with a glass of wine.
"I've done it too, Mr. Qin, this is it!!!" He raised a thumbs up, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Qin Han looked around, his gaze lingering on everyone's face for a moment.
These are all giants in the business world, but at this moment they all have smiles on their faces and are looking at him eagerly. He enjoys this feeling very much. This is the respect won by strength, and it feels really good!
He also picked up a glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank it.
This statement was immediately greeted with applause from the crowd.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively. Qin Han invited everyone to take a seat and then asked the waiter to pour some wine.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Cheng Songda suddenly put down his chopsticks, his face full of smiles, "Brother, you are a legend in the financial circle! I decided to continue to add, no matter what, I can't miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune!"
His face flushed with excitement, and the wine glass in his hand shook slightly, causing some wine to splash out.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked over.
Li Guohua silently took out a cigar cutter and skillfully trimmed the Cuban cigar: "Boss Qin, I, Li, always believe in data."
He lit up his cigar and took a deep puff, then continued, "I've heard about your private equity from Old Cheng and the others before, and I'm very interested! Mr. Qin, can you give me a ticket?"
"and many more!"
Liu Haiyang interrupted hurriedly, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the wine glass, "Boss Qin, the private placement you are talking about."
He swallowed and asked, "How do I subscribe specifically?"
The hall suddenly became quiet, everyone held their breath, staring at Qin Han with burning eyes.
Qin Han wiped the corner of his mouth slowly, turned his head and looked to the side without saying anything.
Shen Lan was standing aside. She was Qin Han's secretary now, so naturally she followed Qin Han wherever he went.
Seeing Qin Han's gaze, she quickly walked to the sofa on the side, took out a gold-stamped document from a bag, and put it in front of Qin Han.
"One-month term, starting from 5000 million; three-month term, starting from 5 million; six-month term"
He paused, "A billion and up."
"As for the rate of return..."
At this point, Qin Han paused, looked at Lin Haotian and said with a smile: "Brother Lin is an experienced person, let him tell you."
Lin Haotian laughed and said, "The short-term annualized rate of return is 50%, the medium-term annualized rate of return is 75%, and the long-term annualized rate of return is 100%! Guaranteed... bottom line!!"
He said the last two words with a strong tone!
As soon as Lin Haotian finished speaking, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze for a moment.
Wang Tianyu stood up suddenly, his chest rising and falling violently under his purple suit, his voice trembling a little: "Boss Qin, I want to subscribe to Tianxing Technology for a half-year period! 15 billion!"
Chen Yazhi opened her red lips slightly, tapping the champagne glass with her fingertips, but her voice was unusually firm: "Huamei Medical subscribed 20 billion, long-term."
She paused, then added: "We can sign the agreement now."
Zhao Tianhao said in a deep voice: "Brilliant Entertainment 30 billion, half a year."
After saying that, he was afraid that Qin Han would disagree, so he said again: "Boss Qin, I still have some influence in the entertainment industry. If Miss Wu needs any help in the future, Boss Qin can find me. Besides, there are not many other things in the entertainment industry, but there are plenty of beautiful girls, hehe..."
The implication of this statement is very clear. It can promote Wu Xuanxuan and also help Qin Han get to know more female stars.
Once he took the lead, the others also changed their tone.
"Tianhai Group 30 billion, long term."
Liu Haiyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his rhythm steady and powerful, and then he said: "Tianhai's port project in Dubai can be sold to President Qin for 10% of the shares. We can make money together!"
Li Guohua coughed lightly and said, "Huatian Real Estate has 50 billion, long-term, and the funds can be in place at any time. In addition, I also have Huatian Capital, which has invested in 5% of the shares of Infinity Automobile. If Mr. Qin likes it, we can talk about it again."
Hearing this,
Qin Han raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was an old fox who seemed to have guessed his plan for Infinite Automobile.
He did not comment and looked at Zhang Mingyuan who had not yet spoken.
"50 billion! Long term!"
Zhang Mingyuan finally spoke, his voice gentle but full of meaning: "Times Energy, we, Jinding Investment, are the B-round investors."
He smiled slightly, "There are some things that Mr. Qin might be interested in."
Well, this is also an old fox!
Wang Tianyu couldn't help himself. He rubbed his hands and smiled: "Boss Qin, our Tianxing Technology has an AI laboratory in Silicon Valley, with the latest algorithm model..."
"As long as you give the nod, we can share the core technology at any time."
Chen Yazhi was not to be outdone and took the initiative to say, "Huamei Medical's private nursing home in Switzerland will always reserve the best suite for President Qin, and it will always be free! Of course, there is also our latest anti-aging injection."
"If Mr. Qin is interested, we can cooperate."
There was a cautious flattery in everyone's eyes, for fear that their bargaining chips were not strong enough.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was both warm and tense, as if a silent bidding process was taking place.
This scene made Shen Lan, who was standing beside him, dizzy!
At this moment, she finally realized how powerful the man she sold was and how much power he had!
None of the people present were simple people. Any of them were business tycoons with assets worth tens of billions. But in front of Qin Han, they seemed to be different people, becoming so enthusiastic, so easy-going, and so humble...
What made her even more unbelievable was,
These big guys are now rushing to give money, billions at a time, and they are still worried that Qin Han will not accept it.
This is funny!
It's scary too!!
Qin Han gently shook the red wine glass, letting everyone's words linger in his ears. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Finally, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, he slowly put down his wine glass and lightly tapped the gold-stamped document with his fingertips: "Since you are so sincere..."
He looked around, watching everyone holding their breath unconsciously, their bodies leaning forward slightly.
"it is good."
As soon as these simple words were uttered, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.
