Chapter 397 Investigation
Liu Xiaomei, sitting on the sofa, immediately took out the contract and quickly flipped through it, analyzing each clause carefully and meticulously.
Liu Xiaomei put down the contract, her eyes revealing disbelief. She said, "This... this is truly a pie falling from the sky! The contract has no traps and is simple and clear."
"It means that as long as we provide fifty billion cash, we can own forty percent of the shares, and if we provide a hundred billion cash, we can acquire Chu Han Real Estate Company."
"The key is that the Chu Han development is a certainty, a project we can all see. The development is basically completed, and now it's just waiting for the interior decoration and topping out, as well as digging the underground drainage system and underground air-raid shelter, these fringe engineering tasks."
"In other words, as soon as the building is topped out, it can be sold for money. We are all very clear about the location of the development. Although the real estate market is not booming now, the average price in our Qingzhou City is around seventeen thousand. With the quality of the Chu Han development, selling it for eighteen to twenty thousand is still very easy."
"Even if we cut the price in half, selling it for eleven thousand per square meter, with the current scale of the Chu Han development, the total sales could reach fifteen billion. At the normal selling price, it could sell for thirty billion."
"This means that if we invest a hundred billion now, in less than two months, we will get thirty billion, with a net profit of twenty billion, a profit margin of two hundred percent. Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
Su Ya frowned and said, "The pies that fall from the sky often turn out to be traps. We know that Chu Han Real Estate Company is short of money, but everyone can also see the quality of the Chu Han development."
"How did such a tempting offer fall into our Yangyangyang Company's lap? This is something worth pondering."
Liu Ran, standing beside her, said, "According to President Fang's explanation, they have already crossed three red lines and cannot borrow money. The banks cannot lend to them, and they cannot get financing."
"They need to find at least fifty billion within one day to survive. If after one day, no amount of money can save them, their company will completely go bankrupt and collapse."
"Now, the only enterprise in the entire Qingzhou City that can come up with fifty billion or a hundred billion at once seems to be our Yangyangyang Company."
Su Ya pondered for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be handled with caution. How about this, we organize a team to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Chu Han Real Estate Company and the Chu Han development. We can consider it after the results are out."
Liu Ran nodded and said, "You're right, we must be cautious. We'll organize a reconnaissance team of fifty people to immediately conduct a due diligence on Chu Han Real Estate Company."
Chen Yang, on the side, touched his chin and remained silent. However, Chen Yang understood a truth: just as Su Ya said, pies falling from the sky are often traps that can kill people instantly.
After the meeting, Chen Yang walked downstairs and returned to his security department.
He sat behind his desk and beckoned to Zhu Que.
Zhu Que, who was applying lipstick, walked over with a mirror, looking a bit puzzled and asked, "What's up?"
Chen Yang looked at Zhu Que speechlessly. This woman's personality had changed completely since she became the deputy security captain; she had even started to care about her appearance!
Chen Yang said, "Investigate Fang Shihong and Chu Han Real Estate Company. They are suddenly selling themselves for only a hundred billion. I suspect there's a trick to this. Find someone to quietly investigate."
Zhu Que nodded and said, "It's a waste of our Heavenly Doctor Hall's resources to investigate such a small matter. But, since the Celestial Venerable is trying to woo a lady, we will absolutely support him."
Zhu Que chuckled and turned to leave quickly, giving the order.
Three hours later, Chen Yang received a very detailed report about Chu Han Real Estate Company on his phone.
This was the investigation result from the Heavenly Doctor Hall, and it was naturally very thorough and clear.
Chu Han Real Estate Company had been idle for more than half a month. The reason for the work stoppage was that while excavating for the air-raid shelter and underground drainage system, they discovered the ancestral burial grounds of the Zhuge family.
The Zhuge family was the foremost prominent family in Jiangnan. They had originally prospered in the Qingzhou area, and later the Zhuge family members had largely relocated to important cities like Modu and Hangzhou.
Conversely, the number of descendants remaining in Qingzhou was sparse.
The Zhuge family's ancestral tombs had never been publicly disclosed, mainly because the Zhuge family felt their ancestral tombs occupied the essence of the dragon脉 (dragon vein) and did not wish for it to be known.
Even within the Zhuge family, very few people knew about it. Only the core members of the Zhuge family were aware of the location and Feng Shui of the ancestral tombs.
Chu Han Real Estate Company's excavation work had damaged the Zhuge family's ancestral tombs, thus disrupting their Feng Shui. The Chu Han Group had been trying to conceal this, fearing the wrath of the Zhuge family.
Now, Chu Han Group, under the command of Bai Leitian, was forcefully handing over the Chu Han development to Yangyangyang Company, intending to shift the wrath of the Zhuge family onto Yangyangyang Company.
Chen Yang, after reading the report, suddenly understood. Then, he frowned. Looking at the name Bai Leitian, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Chen Yang was absolutely not unfamiliar with Bai Leitian. It could be said that the years of suffering his wife endured after her disfigurement were inextricably linked to this scoundrel Bai Leitian.
It was just that in recent times, his wife's business had developed rapidly, and Chen Yang had been by Liu Ran's side, not having had the opportunity to deal with Bai Leitian.
But unexpectedly, this guy had actively surfaced now. This was rather interesting.
A cold smile played on Chen Yang's lips. He then put down his phone and stretched lazily.
After some thought, Chen Yang walked towards Zhu Que.
Chen Yang said, "Zhu Que, investigate the current situation of the Zhuge family. We might have some dealings with them in the future."
Zhu Que nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. The Zhuge family? As the foremost prominent family in Jiangnan, they do have some strength. However, Celestial Venerable, you don't need to worry about such matters. With one command from you, we can flatten the Zhuge family."
Chen Yang looked at Zhu Que speechlessly and said, "We are not bandits or tyrants. How can our Heavenly Doctor Hall crush a reputable prominent family without reason?"
"In any case, investigate the situation of their family. If conflicts arise in the future, we should still attempt diplomacy before resorting to force."
Zhu Que indicated that she understood.
Chen Yang checked the time; it was already after work. He walked towards Liu Ran's office.
The lights in Liu Ran's office were brightly lit. Upon entering, he found Liu Ran using a paid Tianyan website on her computer, comprehensively searching for information about Chu Han Real Estate Company and Fang Shihong's past experiences.
Seeing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Honey, it's after work. Do you want to go home?"
Liu Ran waved her hand and said, "Chen Yang, you go back and rest first. Su Ya and I are not going home tonight. Oh, right, please order us some takeout."
Chen Yang shrugged and said, "Eating takeout is not good for your health. How about this, I'll go home and cook for you. You guys continue working!"
Chen Yang did not mention the information he had received and turned to drive away from the company.
After buying a large bag of ingredients at the supermarket, Chen Yang returned home, rolled up his sleeves, entered the kitchen, and started cooking, humming a tune.
