Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Provoking the Untouchable

Yang Tiancheng and his son returned to their hotel room.

Yang Jingsheng asked, “Dad, do you really think Xu Yang came to Zhucheng just to travel?”

Yang Tiancheng shook his head, “How could that be? Look at him and those people, do they look like they’re here for tourism?”

A young man like Xu Yang traveling with several people in their thirties, forties, or fifties?

Wouldn’t it be nicer to travel with a beautiful wife?

So, Xu Yang definitely didn’t come for tourism; he must have had business here.

Yang Jingsheng wondered, “Then what’s he doing in Zhucheng?”

Yang Tiancheng shook his head, “I don’t know.”

He couldn’t figure out what Xu Yang was here for.

Yang Jingsheng speculated, “Could it be that he’s spotted a company here and has come to take it over?”

Yang Tiancheng was taken aback for a moment but then nodded, “That’s quite possible. The current Xu Yang is something else. I’ve heard he’s taken over some companies. Not too long ago, he even went to the capital to buy a clothing company, and it was a joint investment with Wang Xiaocong.”

He had never considered the possibility that Xu Yang might be here to take over Qianjiao Company.

Yang Jingsheng said with envy, “Xu Yang is so lucky, getting in with a rich second-generation like Wang Xiaocong.”

Yang Tiancheng glanced at his son, “Jing Sheng, it’s not about luck. He didn’t get to where he is by mere chance but through strength. I know you don’t like him, and you even resent him because of your detention, but you should know that Xu Yang is no longer the one we used to mock and scoff at. He has become someone we can only look up to.”

Yang Jingsheng clenched his fists, “No matter what he becomes, I just can’t stand him.”

Yang Tiancheng sighed deeply, “You still don’t understand how to control your emotions. Your dislike for him changes nothing; you can’t do anything to him, and it only causes you distress. If you do act out, you won’t affect him at all. On the other hand, if he gets angry, he could just say a few words and potentially ruin us—bankrupt our family and destroy our lives.”

Yang Jingsheng was startled, “Dad, aren’t you exaggerating?”

“Not in the least,” Yang Tiancheng shook his head with a bitter smile. “Given Xu Yang’s status today, dealing with people like us would really just take a few words. Think about it, he’s already a billionaire just from Jiang Dilao alone, and with the recent state copyright bureau’s crackdown on the cultural market’s copyright chaos, the prices for cultural works’ copyrights have skyrocketed. I’ve seen some news and also heard that Xu Yang is the owner of a copyright company called Pioneer Culture, which holds copyrights worth tens of billions.”

“What!” Yang Jingsheng exclaimed, “Dad, is that true? Xu Yang’s a billionaire now?”

Yang Tiancheng replied, “It’s true. I’ve checked, and Xu Yang is indeed the legal person for Pioneer Culture.”

Hiss…

Yang Jingsheng gasped, “Has Xu Yang really become that formidable?”

Just last year, Xu Yang was the subject of his ridicule.

Now, he was already a billionaire.

It felt unreal.

Yang Tiancheng sighed, “Jiang Dilao’s expansion couldn’t have happened without the backing of significant capital, which we couldn’t access. He made connections that would help him when needed. Plus, his brotherly relationship with Wang Xiaocong means that now, unless you’re an established super tycoon, it’s tough to trouble him. To him, we are merely trivial figures, nothing more. If we keep opposing him, we’re just courting death. Do you understand?”

Yang Jingsheng swallowed hard, “Dad, I understand.”

“`

He was truly frightened.

If his father hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have realized just how terrifying Xu Yang had become.

Now, it seemed Xu Yang really wanted to crush him as easily as crushing an ant.

He was someone he simply couldn’t afford to provoke.

Although he wasn’t born into a wealthy second-generation family, he lived a life without worries.

It was not worth it to court death over some trivial matters of the past.

Yang Tiancheng sighed again, “Ah, if only I hadn’t forced Zhao Yulu to break up with Xu Yang back then. I would’ve been his father-in-law, and you his uncle. What couldn’t we have asked for? What a pity…”

Yang Jingsheng said bitterly, “Indeed, what a pity. But who could have known he would rise so quickly in such a short time?”

He rolled his eyes, “Dad, what if we plead with him to help us, to get us a managerial position at Jiangdi Lao, could he arrange that?”

Yang Tiancheng looked at his son as if he was looking at an idiot, “Do you think that’s possible? Not to mention what you did to Old Zhao’s restaurant in the past, what’s our relationship with him? Why would he help us? Just because Zhao Yulu is his ex-girlfriend? Because I’m her stepfather? Because you’re her half-brother from a different father and mother?”

What on earth was his son thinking to come up with such an idea?

Yang Jingsheng gave a forced smile, “Dad, I was just saying it off the top of my head.”

Yang Tiancheng said, “Instead of mulling over this, you’d better think about how we’re going to secure this acquisition. This is our chance to really establish ourselves at Triumph Investment. If we handle it well, we’ll have a firm standing at Triumph Investment. If not, we’ll have nothing. Remember, this is our only chance.”

He was currently just a middle-level manager at Triumph Investment, an ordinary manager, and Yang Jingsheng was a lowly employee.

Chen Guanglei had promised them that if they successfully negotiated this acquisition, he would be promoted to deputy director, and Yang Jingsheng to manager. That way, they would truly have stable ground at Triumph Investment.

Otherwise, even if they didn’t get kicked out, they would still be in an awkward position.

Yang Jingsheng said, “Dad, the company has allocated us ten billion. Zhang Qiuxue’s demand is also ten billion. Why don’t we just agree to it directly? If we agree, we can sign the contract immediately.”

“Foolish!” Yang Tiancheng scolded, “If we agree directly, how can we show our capability? What would they need us for? How can we talk about establishing ourselves in the company? It’s only by negotiating and getting the shares at the lowest possible price that we can highlight our value and be taken seriously in the company, do you understand?!”

That was why he had pressured the price down to 850 million.

In the last two days of negotiations, he had been uncompromising, putting endless pressure on Zhang Qiuxue.

He planned to negotiate a bit more, and then raise another 50 million, reaching 900 million, which should be no problem.

By saving the company a billion, only then would the value of him and his son be apparent, only then could they secure their footing at Triumph Investment.

This time, the opportunity only arose because Chen Guanglei’s father had passed away, and Chen Guanglei was in a difficult position within Triumph Investment, needing his help to ascend to the presidency through certain means.

It could be said that if it weren’t for the passing of Chen Guanglei’s father, he wouldn’t have had this opportunity at all.

In his heart, he was quite grateful to Chen Guanglei’s deceased father.

If Chen Guanglei knew his thoughts, who knows what he would think.

Yang Jingsheng nodded, “Dad, don’t worry, I understand.”
