305: Chapter 305: Negotiations Collapse 305: Chapter 305: Negotiations Collapse Su Wanqiao’s beautiful eyes were grave as she responded, “I come today with sincerity, hoping to resolve the grievances between our two families.”
Upon hearing these words, Du Tingchao sneered, “Resolve grievances?
Do you think the enmity between us can be resolved?
Where is Lin Shuang?!
Why didn’t that beast come today?
Call him here and have him publicly dismembered!
Then the issues between us will be resolved!
Otherwise, it’s impossible!”
Just then, Du Chao, who was standing to the side, swept his gaze coldly, signaling his son to be quiet.
It was then that the Crown Prince, Du Tingchao, obediently fell silent.
It was finally Xiang Bei’s turn to speak.
“Everyone is here, Du family head and Miss Su, let me mediate this matter today.
Let’s both sit down and talk,” he said.
Xiang Beiqiang gestured for Su Wanqiao to take a seat.
But just as Su Wanqiao was about to sit down, she was abruptly stopped by Du Chao’s cold command, “Who allowed you to sit?”
The atmosphere in the room instantly became somewhat oppressive.
Su Wanqiao’s eyes hardened, and she looked around before sitting down without hesitation.
“Family Head Du, I have come today to propose a negotiation with your family, and I hope you will champion peace,” stated Su Wanqiao in a firm voice.
In the face of the Du family’s intimidation, she was not afraid.
Du Chao scoffed, “A negotiation?
Speak, then, how do you wish to negotiate?”
Su Wanqiao’s eyes were grave as she said, “Family Head Du, I acknowledge that there have been misunderstandings between us recently.
I hope we can dispel these misunderstandings.
Here’s my proposal: I’m willing to offer a portion of capital as compensation for the mental anguish suffered by your son.
Additionally, my Heavenly Medicine technology will be used to establish a pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai, and at that time…
I will grant your Du family priority supply rights.
What do you think?
Your Du family could have the first right to sell Heavenly Medicine products internationally.”
Su Wanqiao’s proposition had already shown her sincerity.
If her Heavenly Medicine technology were to be produced, the Du family would be granted the first right to its sales.
The Du family, controlling the medicinal resources of Heavenly Medicine, could sell at high prices in the market and make a considerable profit.
Yet upon hearing this proposal, Du Chao replied with a mocking sneer, “Su Wanqiao, do you think you are handing out alms to a beggar?
Offering only the right to sell Heavenly Medicine?
Do you expect my Du family to labor for you by buying and selling your medicines?”
Su Wanqiao’s eyes hardened; this head of the Du family…
was indeed insatiable.
“Do you have any other conditions?
You may name them.
As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost to comply,” said Su Wanqiao earnestly.
Du Chao stated coldly, “I want the technical formula for the Heavenly Medicine product and 51% ownership of the Su Corporation!”
Her beautiful face turned exceedingly grim upon hearing these words.
He was demanding the technical formula of Heavenly Medicine and the controlling stake in Su Corporation right from the start?
This was nothing short of extortion!
“Family Head Du, making such demands…
is rather coercive, isn’t it?” Su Wanqiao said gravely.
“So, will you give it or not?” Du Chao asked coldly.
As these words left Du Chao’s mouth, a throng of imposing bodyguards began to slowly advance, encircling the entire living room within Du Family Manor.
The air was tense.
A slight change crossed Su Wanqiao’s pretty face as she scanned her surroundings.
“Family Head Du, I am here to negotiate with sincerity, but you start by attempting to seize the Heavenly Medicine technology and take a stake in my company.
Are you trying to drive the Su family to ruin?” Su Wanqiao said with gravity.
“Yes, what about it?
So, will you give what I asked for or not?” retorted Du Chao coldly.
“Family Head Du, I was hoping we could engage in earnest negotiation…
not aggressive coercion…” Su Wanqiao said seriously.
“Earnest my ass!
Su Wanqiao, if you agree today, you can leave alive; if you don’t, then don’t even think about leaving the Du family alive!” Du Tingchao, the Crown Prince, cursed with cold fury!
The Du family’s enforcers slowly drew the machetes strapped to their waists.
