Chapter 284 The Shares Are Gone
Liu Xuhui and Liu Xin, surrounded by a crowd, had no choice but to head back to the old Liu family mansion.
Thousands of delivery workers were blocking the entrance of the old Liu family mansion, awaiting the outcome.
Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui entered the old mansion and, with a "thump," knelt before the Old Madam Liu.
Liu Xuhui cried, "Grandma, Grandma, save us! Those people are blocking the entrance. If we don't pay, they won't let us go. Grandma, please, just give us over ten million to tide us over."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Liu slammed the table in anger and said to Liu Xuhui and Liu Xin, "What's going on with you two?"
"Weren't things fine yesterday? You even said the delivery station was making a fortune, so why are you asking me for over ten million today?"
Liu Xin, still kneeling on the ground, wiped her tears and said, "Grandma, you can't blame us for this. It's truly... it's truly because that scoundrel Ma Sanzhong scammed us."
"Moreover, Grandma, it's not over ten million, it's sixty million."
Hearing this, Old Madam Liu's heart ached violently, and she almost fainted.
Liu Xuhui quickly stepped forward to support her, knowing that the Old Madam doted on them the most.
Liu Xuhui immediately said, "Grandma, the delivery station owed its workers three months of wages and never paid them. Now that these workers heard Ma Sanzhong was arrested, they're demanding money from us. If we don't pay, they won't leave."
"Also, there was a serious incident of product switching and counterfeiting at the delivery station. The Administration for Industry and Commerce and the police are fining us fifty million. If we don't pay this sum, they will forcibly detain us and auction off our Liu family's property!"
Old Madam Liu's face turned pale, and she was furious. She looked at Liu Xin and said, "Liu Xin, where is your husband? Where is that worthy son-in-law, Yang Long?"
When Liu Xin heard this, she quickly waved her hands, "Grandma, Yang Long is not well-off lately. You know he messed up their Yang family's competition last time, so his influence in his family has decreased. He really can't come up with sixty million!"
"However, Grandma, don't worry. Once Brother Long recovers and completely takes control of the Yang family, he'll definitely repay this sixty million to Grandma then."
Old Madam Liu gritted her teeth in anger. She finally understood that Liu Xuhui and Liu Xin were determined to make her pay.
But they had already spent two hundred million to buy Blue Sky Tower, and the Liu family didn't have much liquid capital left.
Old Madam Liu waved her hand and said, "Alas, you two, get up first. The Liu family is out of money. I'm not just asking Yang Long to come for money, but to see if he can invest in Tian Liu Commercial Building's shares, to purchase shares of Tian Liu Commercial Building in the name of the Yang family to gather this sixty million."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xin quickly nodded, "Okay, Grandma. I'll call Brother Long right now."
Then Liu Xin dialed Yang Long's number and briefly explained the situation.
Yang Long on the other end was furious after listening to his wife. He immediately cursed, "You b*tch, can't you use your brain when handling things? When you were negotiating with Ma Sanzhong, didn't you look at the financial statements?"
Liu Xin was stunned by Yang Long's scolding.
When she was with Chen Yang before, she had never been cursed at like this. She never expected her current husband, Yang Long, to call her a b*tch right off the bat.
Liu Xin said angrily, "Yang Long, whose child am I carrying? If you curse me like this, do you believe I'll go to the hospital tomorrow and abort it?"
Hearing this, Yang Long suppressed his anger and said, "You and your brother owe sixty million, and I really can't come up with it. There's nothing I can do."
Liu Xin said, "Husband, this is an opportunity, not for you to give, but for your Yang family to give."
"Grandma said she's willing to exchange shares of Tian Liu Commercial Building for sixty million. Think about it, Tian Liu Commercial Building is the Liu family's core asset."
"Currently, I, my brother, and my parents hold ten percent of the shares in Tian Liu Commercial Building. As long as you acquire another thirty percent, once we reach forty percent of the shares, the entire Tian Liu Commercial Building will belong to us. This deal is a sure win!"
Yang Long was silent for a few seconds after hearing Liu Xin's words, then he laughed and said, "Yes, wife, you've thought of it carefully. Then you and the Old Madam can discuss it, say we'll use sixty-five million to purchase thirty percent of its shares. I'll talk to the family members and raise the money immediately."
Liu Xin chuckled and nodded. After hanging up the phone, Liu Xin walked towards the Old Madam, crying, pretending to be pitiful, and said to her, "Grandma, I asked Brother Long. They are indeed in a difficult position, but they also said that if they are willing to give up thirty percent of Tian Liu Commercial Building's shares, they can come up with sixty-five million to save my brother and me."
When the Old Madam heard about thirty percent of the shares, her eyes narrowed, and she said angrily, "Nonsense! Tian Liu Commercial Building is worth around one billion in total. Although there are many loans, its true value is at least three hundred million. Sixty million can at most secure twenty percent of the shares."
Seeing the Old Madam like this, Liu Xin knew she wouldn't yield for now and had to agree.
Soon, Yang Long arrived at the old Liu family mansion with the money. Sixty-five million bought twenty-five percent of Tian You Commercial Building's shares. This brought their total to thirty-five percent.
After signing the contract, the Old Madam stood up angrily and scolded, "You two useless things! I sent you to deal with Liu Ran, but Liu Ran's company was completely unaffected, and you ended up wasting so much money."
"A bunch of trash. If it weren't for my grandson-in-law Yang Long being capable and having a good family background, our Tian Liu Commercial Building's assets would have been lost to outsiders. This is our Liu family's core asset. Hmph, you two are trash."
Liu Xin quickly said, "Grandma, you can't blame my brother and me this time. It's really because that b*tch Liu Ran looks down on us. I told her several times to transfer forty percent of her shares, but she refused."
"If that b*tch had agreed earlier, we wouldn't have had all these troubles."
The Old Madam also nodded and said through gritted teeth, "This Liu Ran is truly detestable, it makes me so angry! Just wait, I've already asked my maternal family for help. When the Meng family arrives, they'll deal with them properly."
The Old Madam Liu's given name was Meng Qinglan. She was a formidable iron lady in the Meng family. After marrying into the Liu family, she had never broken contact with the Meng family.
This time, she was not hesitant to use her maternal family's power to stop Liu Ran and take revenge for her inner frustration.
Liu Xuhui and Liu Xin paid the fine and wages in full. Seeing sixty-five million disappear from their hands, Liu Xuhui clutched his chest, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Liu Xuhui gritted his teeth, "It's all Liu Ran's fault, all that b*tch Liu Ran's fault! It makes me so angry."
Liu Xin also nodded and said, "Yes, it's all her fault. We must hold her accountable for this sixty-five million. We'll definitely get it back from her when we have the chance."
The other members of the Liu family immediately chimed in, all believing it was Liu Ran's fault.
If Liu Ran had given them forty percent of the shares earlier, the Liu family wouldn't have had these problems.
