Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 1123 - 1048: Young Man?

"Didn't I agree to allocate a piece of land to Huayu Group? You know how valuable land is right now. Isn't this our contribution? To seek benefits for the country, Mr. Wang, don't quibble too much." Meng Yunhe said with a smile.

Wang Siyu almost stood up in anger. Land is indeed valuable, but that's land in the heart of the city. If Huayu were to build another factory, it would definitely use non-commercial residential areas, which wouldn't cost much at all.

Furthermore, Meng Yunhe mentioned renting, and if the government is dissatisfied, they could reclaim it at any time. How could Wang Siyu accept that?

"Of course, it's not impossible for the government to invest, but then we would need to hold some shares in Huayu Group." Meng Yunhe said with a smile.

Shares?

You actually want shares in Huayu Group?

Huayu Group hasn't gone public, and the shares are all in the hands of Ye Qingfeng and Wang Siyu. Numerous international consortiums and capitalists are eagerly awaiting Huayu Group's financing.

Yet everyone knows that Huayu Group's development momentum is incredibly strong. It's in the industrial sector, with enormous cash flow; it doesn't lack funds, so how could it possibly seek financing?

Even if it did, Huayu Group's current valuation has skyrocketed because the technology is there. Simply expanding production means making money hand over fist.

For such a Huayu Group, could the country afford so many shares?

"Mayor Meng, do you think I would agree? Huayu Group has plenty of money and doesn't need financing, let alone selling shares." Wang Siyu said with a cold smile.

Meng Yunhe's words were utterly ridiculous. If he weren't a deputy mayor, she would have left already.

But Meng Yunhe was calm and unhurried, as if he had anticipated Wang Siyu's reaction. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and then said, "I have another suggestion. Mr. Wang, you may want to hear it. The government and Huayu Group could jointly fund the project, with the same conditions, but our government would only take thirty percent of the profits, and privately invest ten million for a one percent stake. With this setup, what does Mr. Wang think? Huayu Group would gain an extra percentage of profits and an additional ten million in funds."

"Your private investment?" Wang Siyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood this was Meng Yunhe's true intention. No wonder he was so interested in Huayu Group.

He had purposefully made such unreasonable demands to pave the way for this step, allowing him to enter openly while Huayu Group seemed to have gained a significant advantage.

Wang Siyu estimated that if she proposed giving him an additional five percent profit, he would likely agree to reduce the government's share by ten percent.

In this way, Huayu Group and he would both benefit.

Ye Qingfeng found it amusing. Ten million was nothing to him. For the current Huayu Group, it was worthless. Yet, he dared to say it out loud.

Moreover, how could he allow anyone else to be involved in Huayu Group? This was his empire, just like the Nine Tribulations Group; it was all his own.

Ye Qingfeng had a strong sense of territoriality and would never allow outsiders into Huayu Group.

Even a joint factory venture was impossible. Whether representing the country or as Meng Yunhe, he could never touch Huayu Group.

Otherwise, he would rather destroy Huayu Group! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"What if we refuse?" Wang Siyu asked, staring at Meng Yunhe. She knew Ye Qingfeng's temperament, and he would never agree.

"Then, Mr. Wang, it means you're determined to go against the state. An unpatriotic enterprise would find it difficult to survive in Huaxia. Besides, I heard that Huayu Group's safety measures are lacking and might face inspections from relevant departments, possibly leading to a temporary production halt." Meng Yunhe said with a slight grin.

"By the way, the city's power supply is tight. Some enterprises in East River City might face power issues." Meng Yunhe added.

"Mayor Meng, what do you mean by this?" Wang Siyu's expression finally changed. He hadn't expected Meng Yunhe to be so shameless as to threaten Huayu Group like this.

"Mr. Wang, at critical moments, think more about the country. Do you think Huayu Group's rise was easy? If not for the state's strong protection, those international capital behemoths would have already gone all out to swallow Huayu Group." Meng Yunhe once again invoked the state, but the threat was clear.

"No need for Mayor Meng's concern. Let's leave it at that. We're leaving." At this moment, Ye Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

Meng Yunhe was taken aback, not expecting this pretty boy to speak. He immediately said in displeasure, "Who do you think you are? I'm talking to your president. It's not your place to interrupt!"

"Mayor Meng, please mind your tone. This is Huayu Group's major shareholder and the actual Chairman, Ye Qingfeng!" Wang Siyu said in anger.

Upon hearing Wang Siyu's words, Meng Yunhe paused, recalling rumors about Huayu Group's share transfer.

Huayu Group had previously been in decline, cornered by Tianyi Group, and almost facing a takeover.

Later, news broke about someone acquiring Huayu's shares, marking the start of Huayu Group's real rise!

Meng Yunhe couldn't believe, staring at Ye Qingfeng, that Huayu Group rose because of this young man?

Meng Yunhe didn't realize Huayu Mobile was designed by Ye Qingfeng. If he knew all the core technologies of Huayu Mobile were invented by Ye Qingfeng, his jaw would probably drop.

"So it's Huayu Group's Chairman. Truly young and promising. What does Chairman Ye think of my proposal?" Meng Yunhe asked with a smile, trying to gauge the depth of this young man.

Despite the age gap, he couldn't fathom Ye Qingfeng's thoughts. Ye Qingfeng calmly said, "It's not very good."

"So Chairman Ye disagrees?" Meng Yunhe's expression darkened. This young man seemed a bit unruly. He planned to teach him a lesson.

"I disagree." Ye Qingfeng gently shook his head, showing no emotion.

Instantly, Meng Yunhe's expression dramatically changed. He hadn't expected the young man to be so difficult, impervious to both threats and promises.

This kind of stubborn person was what Meng Yunhe disliked the most, for they didn't calculate gains and losses, preferring a lose-lose scenario.

Meng Yunhe, being a clever person, was certainly unwilling to let that happen.

"Young man, don't be too stubborn. Learn to weigh your options. Ending up with mutual destruction benefits no one." Meng Yunhe advised Ye Qingfeng with a senior's tone.
