Chapter 343 The Gathering of Tycoons
Xu Yang sneered directly, "Not so impressive. I'll give you two hundred million, and you don't interfere. Five hundred million for you to make Li Changsheng and his son turn themselves in. As long as you agree, regardless of which option, the money will be transferred to your anonymous account in a Swiss bank within five minutes."
Hearing this, Elder Chen's face changed wildly.
Only he and his old butler knew of his anonymous Swiss bank account. How did Xu Yang know about it?
It seemed that Xu Yang's methods were indeed not simple.
Fortunately, he had lived through half a lifetime and countless storms and quickly calmed down. He said, "Young man, leave some leeway in your actions, so we can meet on good terms in the future. Stop being so aggressive..."
Before he could finish, Xu Yang cut him off, "You Fengcheng people are really interesting. I just want Li Changsheng and his son to face their deserved punishment, and yet you accuse me of being aggressive. What about 'leave some leeway'? Did Li Changsheng and his son leave any when they hit my wife?
I'll say it once; if you want to help Zheng Kaiyang, your end will be worse than Liang Wujun's and Wang Tongshan's!"
Elder Chen chuckled, "Young man, I've eaten more food than the salt you've had. You really shouldn't be so..."
"I understand your attitude. Good luck to you!" Xu Yang couldn't be bothered to talk further with Elder Chen and hung up the phone directly.
Then, he dialed Ma Yangrong's number with a grave voice, "Didn't reach an agreement. That old man is probably going to intervene in this matter. I'll repeat what I've said: whoever intervenes will pay the price!"
On Elder Chen's side.
He put down the cordless phone, shook his head with a smile, and said to Zheng Kaiyang and Luo Hongwei, "These young people nowadays really dare to say anything. He's far from capable enough to challenge us in Fengcheng. I'll show him that we people from Fengcheng are not easy to bully!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Kaiyang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Elder Chen!"
He knew that with Elder Chen stepping in, the matter was as good as settled.
Not only could they save Li Changsheng and his son, but Xu Yang himself would be finished as well.
Elder Chen nodded, pointed to a notebook on the table beside him, and said, "Both of you make the calls."
"Yes." Zheng Kaiyang immediately picked up the notebook, flipped it open, and along with Wang Tongshan, dialed the numbers listed one after another.
"President Yang, Elder Chen invites you!"
"President Du, Elder Chen invites you!"
"President Tan, Elder Chen invites you!"
"..."
As the calls went out one by one, a fleet of luxury cars appeared on the streets of Fengcheng, heading towards Elder Chen's manor.
The originally clear sky began to gather dense clouds on the horizon.
Signaling that a storm was about to come.
...
Over half an hour later, dozens of luxury cars drove into Elder Chen's manor.
The people emerging from the luxury cars greeted each other.
If someone were here, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Because each of these individuals was a prominent figure in Fengcheng.
On any regular day, these figures would be the absolute protagonists at any Fengcheng event, exuding the dominance that they rightfully have.
But here, not a hint of that dominating presence could be seen. Instead, they appeared extremely courteous.
Perhaps the word 'courteous' isn't quite accurate. It would be more fitting to say they were like elementary school students in front of a teacher.
As they entered the living room, they actively sought out chairs to sit down, not daring to speak loudly.
Soon, everyone took their seats.
Before long, the old Master Chen came out with the help of the old butler, with Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan following behind.
Master Chen sat down in the front on the Taishi Chair, settling into a very comfortable position, glanced over the crowd, then smiled, "Everyone who received the call came, it seems no one has forgotten their roots."
A middle-aged man immediately said, "Master, what are you talking about? We are all from Fengcheng, five hundred years ago we were one family. Just say the word, and no matter where we are or what we're doing, we'll come running!"
This middle-aged man was Yang Chengbiao, a real estate tycoon from Fengcheng.
The methods he used in real estate competition could be described with the word "bloody."
Whenever he set his sights on a project, if you dared to compete with him, he might kill your entire family.
In the more than twenty years that he'd been in real estate, he had wiped out his competitors five times.
Everyone knew he was responsible, but since there was no concrete evidence, he had always remained out of the law's reach.
His notoriety made his real estate business grow larger and larger.
In Fengcheng, his real estate company was unrivaled.
Other real estate developers didn't dare to compete with him, withdrawing from any project he took interest in.
Only when he was not involved did other developers dare to make a move.
In front of Master Chen, however, this man who made other developers tremble in fear was exceedingly humble.
"Master, we could forget anyone, but we could never forget you."
"Master, forget about being one family five hundred years ago, we're still one family now!"
The others also expressed their support one after another.
Master Chen was very pleased with everyone's attitude and smiled as he nodded, "Good, then I won't beat around the bush. I've gathered you all here today because there is a matter I need you to attend to."
Yang Chengbiao immediately said, "Tell us, Master." Explore more at empire
Master Chen said, "These past few days, Zheng Kaiyang has been targeted, resulting in Liang Wujun and Wang Tongshan being arrested. I absolutely cannot tolerate an outsider stirring up trouble in Fengcheng."
Yang Chengbiao stood up at once and said, "Who is so brazen as to come to Fengcheng and bully our people? Master, just tell us what to do. Whether it's to scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, I won't hesitate for a second!"
Master Chen nodded and said, "It's the boss of Jiangdi Lao, Xu Yang."
Upon hearing the name Xu Yang, everyone looked at each other in surprise. There was no fear, and some even displayed a disdainful smile.
"It's him!"
"Even if it is him, we can't let him cause trouble in Fengcheng."
"I've heard his net worth has reached tens of billions. If he's coming to Fengcheng to stir things up, it seems he's getting a bit arrogant."
"People say he has a good relationship with Wang the tycoon, but even if Wang the tycoon came to Fengcheng, he wouldn't dare cause any disturbances, or else we would make him pay the price!"
"Since he dares to cause trouble in Fengcheng, we'll have to make him regret it!"
...
Yang Chengbiao said, "Master, just tell us what you want us to do."
Master Chen said, "Xu Yang has quite a few enterprises. Since you, Yang Chengbiao, are the first to seek work, the first task I'll give to you. I've briefly looked into it. He has established a Huayang Real Estate with Lan Penghua, the real estate magnate of Jiangcheng. They're currently bidding on the Jiangcheng old city district redevelopment project.
If all goes as expected, Huayang Real Estate will secure most of the projects. Since this is your area of expertise, you should also compete and take away the projects almost within his grasp. I'll give you a little support."
As he finished speaking, the old butler brought over several documents to Yang Chengbiao and handed them over.
