"Uh..."
Startled by Jiang Wuming's words, both Su Shijie and his wife, and Su Shiwei's family of four were stunned.
Even though they had considered that Jiang Wuming might take action against them after helping Su Shiyun take the helm of the Su Group, they hadn't expected him to actually do it, and so quickly!
"Heh heh..."
After a moment of surprise, Su Shiwei chuckled mockingly, as if he had heard the most childish joke in the world. "I admit, everything you've done for the Su family has made us lose face within the family, and even caused Xiao Wu to lose his job because of it. But that's all there is to it!
You need to understand your own identity. You're just the illegitimate son of my younger brother, an outsider. You're not the head of the Su family. What right do you have to ask us to withdraw from the Su Group?"
"I must say, your true colors are so ugly they make one nauseous!"
Hearing Su Shiwei's words, before Jiang Wuming could speak, Qin Xiaozhi said coldly, "If it weren't for my boss, the entire Su Group would have fallen into Qiao Tianba's hands, and you would have been kicked out of the Su Group like a pack of stray dogs!"
"—"
Su Shiwei and the others immediately fell silent.
Because they knew that what Qin Xiaozhi said was the truth, and they couldn't refute his words.
More importantly, they didn't dare to offend Qin Xiaozhi!
"My boss has done so much for the Su family, and not only are you not grateful, but you've jumped around in front of him like clowns time and time again. You're truly ungrateful!"
Qin Xiaozhi was furious and continued to reprimand them, "You should be grateful that my boss is a person who repays kindness. He looks at the Su family's past kindness to him and Grandpa Su's face, and disdains to argue with you, which is why you can still be around. But I warn you, don't push your luck!"
Facing Qin Xiaozhi's reprimand, Su Shijie and his wife pursed their lips and dared not speak.
The couple had been living off past achievements, not contributing much to the Su family or the Su Group. Instead, they almost became sinners of the Su family by selling their shares in the Su Group to Su Le to pay gambling debts.
Because of all this, they had very little say in the Su family. Thus, they chose to be Su Shiwei's pawns. How could they respond to Qin Xiaozhi now?
The faces of Su Shiwei's family of four were somewhat unsightly.
Although Jiang Wuming had done a lot for the Su family, he had also caused them significant losses – Su Li lost her chance to marry into the Huang family, and Su Wu lost his job at the Military Department!
"Young Master Qin, what you say makes sense, but have you considered that it's no different for us to be kicked out of the Su Group by Qiao Tianba or by you?"
After a few seconds, Su Shiwei spoke up, biting the bullet.
Although he was very afraid of Qin Xiaozhi, if they were simply asked to withdraw from the Su Group because of this, he would absolutely not agree!
After all, after the Su Group collaborated with Longteng Pharmaceuticals, it had gotten on the right track, and its future development would only get better and better.
Moreover, according to Li Lianyi, Longteng Pharmaceuticals was also going to cooperate with the Su Group on qi and blood pills – that was one of the most profitable businesses in the world!
If the cooperation really came to fruition, the wealth of the Su Group would snowball!
"There is."
This time, it was Jiang Wuming who spoke, his expressionless face saying, "First, the Su Group now and in the future belongs to the Su family.
Second, the Su Group's stock price has soared, and you, as the second largest shareholder of the group, have made a fortune."
"So what? We won't leave the Su Group anyway! If you have the guts, go ask your grandfather to kick us out of the Su Group!"
Su Shiwei resorted to being unreasonable. He didn't believe that Su Yuanshan would kick his two families out of the Su Group.
"Su Shiwei, as far as I know, your entire family has cleared out all your shares in the Su Group in the past few days, right?"
Jiang Wuming smiled slightly, then answered his own question before Su Shiwei could reply, "Your plan is very simple. After the Su Group's stock price returns to normal valuation after some time, you will use your funds to buy back shares.
In this way, your family could very well become the largest shareholder of the Su Group!
Finally, you will seize the opportunity to take back control of the Su Group using your status as the eldest son of the Su family and a major shareholder of the Su Group!"
Thump!
Su Shiwei's heart trembled violently upon hearing this. His gaze towards Jiang Wuming was filled with shock.
This was the first time he felt Jiang Wuming was terrifying.
That terror had nothing to do with the network of connections Jiang Wuming had displayed today!
"You all know that Longteng Pharmaceuticals will cooperate with the Su Group on qi and blood pills. Have you ever thought about what would happen to the Su Group's stock price when the market opens tomorrow if Longteng Pharmaceuticals announces tonight that it will join forces with the Su Group to establish a company to produce and sell qi and blood pills?"
Soaring!
As Jiang Wuming's words fell, the words "soaring" surged in the minds of Su Shiwei, Su Shijie's two families, and even Su Shining and his wife.
"At that time, how many shares of the Su Group do you think your funds can buy?"
Jiang Wuming looked at Su Shiwei playfully.
"You... you..."
Su Shiwei's face was full of panic, but he was speechless.
Originally, he had taken advantage of the surge in the Su Group's stock price in the past few days to make a profit and become the largest shareholder of the Su Group. But if it were as Jiang Wuming said, his operation would not be a profitable trade but a complete miss – missing the opportunity for the Su Group's stock price to truly soar!
"If... if you can make Longteng Pharmaceuticals postpone the announcement of this news, I can withdraw from the Su Group!"
Just as Su Shiwei was panicking, Su Shijie suddenly spoke up and expressed his stance.
"Are you suffering from Alzheimer's? Miss Li Lianyi said publicly earlier that Li Shanglai came to talk to Sister Shiyun about the qi and blood pill cooperation as requested by my boss. This shows that how this business is operated is entirely up to my boss!"
Qin Xiaozhi looked at Su Shijie with the gaze of an idiot.
"—"
Su Shijie's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Su Shijie, you hardly have any shares in the Su Group, and because of your son's gambling problem, it's difficult for you to borrow money outside. Even if I let Longteng Pharmaceuticals delay the announcement of this news, you won't gain much."
Jiang Wuming glanced sideways at Su Shijie.
"As long as you can do what Shijie said, our family can also withdraw from the Su Group!"
Su Shiwei gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Although this meant he would forever lose the opportunity to steer the Su Group, their family could use this opportunity to multiply their wealth several times over.
In that case, their family's wealth would exceed ten billion!
"Su Shiwei, if you had accepted your loss when you lost the bet the first time, instead of acting like a jumping clown and bouncing around time and time again, I could have agreed to your terms. But now, it's impossible."
Jiang Wuming said coldly, how could he not know Su Shiwei's intentions, and how could he let Su Shiwei have his way?
"You... what exactly do you want?"
Su Shiwei's expression became extremely unsightly, and he almost roared this question.
"You withdraw from the Su Group, but you can receive your salaries from the Su Group monthly based on your current positions.
If you do this and perform well in the future, when the company that operates the qi and blood pill business goes public, you can be allocated corresponding shares from the Su Group's stake in that company based on your previous proportion of shares in the Su Group."
Jiang Wuming stated his well-thought-out solution. He wouldn't give Su Shiwei and Su Shijie's families immediate benefits but would draw a picture to hook them, making them hesitant to act rashly in the future.
This way, Su Shiyun would not have any obstacles in the Su family and the Su Group!
"What percentage of shares will the Su Group hold in that new company? Fifty percent?" Su Shijie's heart stirred, and he quickly asked.
Although he was accustomed to a life of luxury, his business acumen was not bad. He knew very well that the company would become a money-printing machine in the future!
"My sister will hold fifty percent of the shares in that company. As for how many shares the Su Group and Longteng Pharmaceuticals will each hold, we'll have to wait until after my sister finishes talking with Li Shanglai," Jiang Wuming said.
"Wh-what?!"
Su Shiwei and Su Shijie's families were so shocked they almost jumped up. They stared at Jiang Wuming with wide eyes, motionless, as if asking: How could Longteng Pharmaceuticals agree?
"No need to doubt my words. I can decide this business. The Li family and Longteng Pharmaceuticals will not refuse, nor dare they refuse, the conditions I propose!"
Jiang Wuming spoke again, his voice not loud, but his tone was beyond doubt. "Also, tonight is the last time I will talk to you out of consideration for the Su family.
You can refuse my proposal, and I can disregard the Su family's consideration. At that time, I have a hundred ways to kick you out of the Su Group. Do you believe me?"
"Wu... Wuming, I... we were wrong. Can you give us a chance to make amends?"
"As long as you forgive us, we're willing to be your oxen and horses in the future!"
Facing Jiang Wuming's warning, Su Shiwei and Su Shijie, the two brothers, immediately surrendered and begged for mercy, looking as if they wanted to lick Jiang Wuming's shoes.
"Uncle Shining, your family will get the shares you deserve, and the dividends you are entitled to will not be reduced by a single cent."
Jiang Wuming ignored the brothers Su Shiwei and Su Shijie, who were begging like lapdogs. He got up and walked to Su Shining and his wife, saying,
"Tha-thank you, Wuming!"
Su Shining and his wife quickly thanked him.
Although they were indifferent to worldly affairs, it didn't mean they didn't care about wealth!
"Brother Wuming..."
Su Qiang, just like in the past, stood at the living room entrance, not daring to enter the room at all. Seeing Jiang Wuming walk over, he greeted him proactively, but his expression was somewhat strange.
Because this young man, whom he had once regarded as a fellow sufferer, had suddenly become an unfathomably powerful existence!
"Qiangzi, think about it carefully later. Whether you want to be a martial artist and take an official position in the Military Department, or be an executive in the Su Group or the new company formed by the Su Group and Longteng Pharmaceuticals, I'll make it happen for you."
Jiang Wuming smiled and responded to Su Qiang.
"Really?"
Su Qiang's body trembled, and his face was filled with confusion. Was a dream being realized so easily?
"Don't doubt your Brother Wuming's words. They are walking a dead end, while you are walking a clear path to heaven!"
Qin Xiaozhi patted Su Qiang on the shoulder with a smile.
Differential treatment.
The young man keeps his word!
