"What? You don't trust my judgment?" Guo Xuyang said with a half-smile.
"How could I not trust your judgment? I'm just too happy to find the words."
"Then don't say anything."
"No, I must. Given your contributions to the company, I will discuss with the other shareholders and give you a five percent stake." Chick said.
"Five percent? So stingy?"
"This five percent is not a small amount; it'll be hundreds of millions of US dollars."
Unsure why Guo Xuyang said that, Chick quickly explained.
"How about this, you see I have many wives. This five percent is a bit difficult to distribute. Let's add another five percent."
"Mr. Guo, if you put it that way, I'm afraid I can't make that decision alone. I'll need to consult with Vahats and the others."
"Mr. Chick, you know, I never intended to claim these gold mines.
While you've given me a good share of the profits, you've made even more from these mines, haven't you?
If I recall correctly, I only asked for a ten percent stake back then. Is it unreasonable to ask for another ten percent this time?"
Hearing Guo Xuyang speak like this, Chick knew Guo Xuyang was a bit displeased and quickly replied, "I was trying to transfer some of my shares to you.
However, if you want another five percent, I can't transfer it from my own holdings.
You know, I need to maintain absolute control. Otherwise, after investing so much manpower and resources, someone else reaps the rewards. What would be the point for me?"
"I understand your position.
Alright, you can call a shareholder meeting.
I recall you initially held sixty percent of the shares yourself, right?
Don't tell me you actually have other friends involved in this."
Chick was not embarrassed by Guo Xuyang seeing through his intentions.
After all, he hadn't anticipated such a massive windfall back then.
Otherwise, why would he have been willing to transfer five percent of his shares to Guo Xuyang?
"No profit, no early rise," as you know, I invested real money back then."
"That's why asking for another five percent isn't a lot," Guo Xuyang said.
"Indeed, it's not a lot. However, it would be best if these five percent could be taken from Vahats.
This gold mine is no longer within his territory, but I can't exactly burn bridges, can I?"
"Yes, you're right.
You arrange the specifics.
But my time is limited, so it would be best to finish this today."
"We'll go right now."
"You should call him over.
Also, arrange for someone to prepare the share transfer documents. We'll sign them on the spot.
And there's a small surprise I'll tell you after the share transfer is complete."
"What are you referring to?" Chick asked, blinking his eyes.
"Good news. Hurry and arrange it. I need to get back to my wife and kids."
"I'll have someone arrange it immediately."
Chick said, picking up his phone to make arrangements for the share transfer.
At the same time, he called Vahats, asking him to come over.
"Is this place easy to find? Does he know it?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"He's been here with me a few times. We were hesitant back then.
If you hadn't come this time, we might have missed this opportunity to make money."
"There are many opportunities to make money; not necessarily in this place."
"Are you saying there are more discoveries?"
"Mr. Chick, rest assured. I don't make my friends lose money."
Hearing Guo Xuyang say this, Chick became even happier.
"Mr. Guo, perhaps you should send your family back first. It might be inconvenient to have them with us. Let me take you for some fun."
"Don't drag me into that, I'm not that kind of person."
"I know you're not that kind of person, Mr. Guo.
But this place is truly exceptional, and many of them are young girls who haven't experienced intimacy, from all over the world."
Chick said with a sly grin.
Guo Xuyang knew Chick was the underground king of this city, likely possessing numerous public and private establishments.
However, what he described had piqued Guo Xuyang's curiosity.
After all, Guo Xuyang had never seen women from all over the world present simultaneously.
Of course, supermodels and beauty pageants seen on television and the internet were a different matter.
"Is there really such a place?"
Seeing Guo Xuyang's interest, Chick immediately nodded and replied, "Of course. You know my background."
"When would be a good time?"
"As long as you agree, we can go anytime."
"I've had enough rest, and I have the energy to check it out. I've truly never seen women from around the world compete at the same time."
"Mr. Guo is joking. With your capabilities, what kind of women can't you find? Of course, your wives are all very beautiful."
Chick's implication was that one must be quite the ladies' man to have so many wives.
"As men, we eventually have to take responsibility for our actions. Wouldn't you agree?"
Chick was truly defeated by Guo Xuyang's audacity.
To utter such righteous-sounding words.
This was pure indulgence. Seeing one, loving one, and taking one in. Such a person was truly rare.
However, Guo Xuyang did put a lot of effort into these women.
He was also very good at managing the relationships between them.
He assigned them different jobs, keeping these women busy earning money for him every day.
These naive women were all happy to have work and were even enthusiastic about it.
Guo Xuyang gave much more than he took.
But no matter how much these women earned, it couldn't compare to what Guo Xuyang earned himself.
Vahats arrived quickly. Upon hearing Chick say the gold mine was secured, he immediately flew in on his private jet.
"Chick, is what you're saying true?" Vahats shouted as soon as he deplaned.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you, my friend?" Chick said, stepping forward and putting his arm around Vahats' shoulder.
"Guo? When did you arrive?" Vahats, seeing Guo Xuyang standing a distance away, came over to ask.
"I came for a wedding and stayed at Chick's estate for two days. He roped me into being a laborer."
"Guo, you can't say that. Chick and I spent a lot of effort to earn that little bit of money, and we even gave you dividends."
"Mr. Vahats, are you saying the money you earned is insufficient?" Guo Xuyang disliked Vahats' tone.
"Vahats, Mr. Guo was the one who helped us secure this gold mine," Chick quickly interjected when he saw the situation turning awkward.
"You're saying Guo helped secure it?" Vahats sounded somewhat disbelieving.
"Yes. Have you forgotten that Mr. Guo also discovered our original gold mine?"
"I know that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to give him so many dividends," Vahats said.
"We invited you here today to discuss the matter of share transfer.
I intend to transfer five percent of my shares to Mr. Guo. What are your thoughts on this?"
"I have no problem with that," Vahats replied.
He was happy to do a favor that didn't cost him anything.
