CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 395: CHEN SHIWEI’S AMBITION

At an opportune moment, supporting Han Si Hai is still valuable for Chen Shiwei. Whether from Han Si Hai’s real estate company or his personal vendetta against Lin Mu, both can be utilized. Such a good pawn—how could Chen Shiwei give up?

The lips and teeth depend on each other for survival; with Han Si Hai’s downfall, although Lin Mu won’t clash with me in the short term, as Lin Mu’s enterprises continue to expand, even if I don’t provoke Lin Mu, a commercial conflict will eventually implicate me. If Lin Mu encroaches on my interests, disputes are inevitable. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests and conflicts!

At this moment, inside a European-style villa in South City, Chen Shiwei, holding a large cigar, looked at the stock trends of the Han Family’s real estate company and smiled, "Aunt Wu, it’s time for us to act!"

Aunt Wu nodded, "Do we contact Han Si Hai now?"

"Hehe, no need for him to find us; we’ll go to him instead!" Chen Shiwei’s deep eyes flickered with a meaningful smile.

"Alright, Eldest Young Master, I’ll prepare the car immediately!" Aunt Wu nodded and then retreated.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Shiwei’s car arrived at the entrance of the Han Family’s courtyard.

"Master Si, Chen Shiwei is here," Jue Qing reported after entering the main hall from outside.

"Chen Shiwei?" Han Si Hai furrowed his brows.

"Yes, Chen Shiwei."

"Let him in," Han Si Hai exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

Jue Qing nodded and retreated. Then Chen Shiwei walked into the main hall with Aunt Wu. By this time, Han Si Hai had lost his earlier sharpness and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, Master Si, it’s been a long time."

"Haha, indeed, Eldest Young Master Chen, it’s been a long time!"

The two laughed and hugged each other as if they were old friends reunited!

Han Si Hai was aware that it was Chen Shiwei who secretly arranged for someone to get him out of the police station, otherwise, he would still be suffering inside!

"Haha, thank you for what you did last time, Eldest Young Master Chen," Han Si Hai thanked with a smile.

Both were smart people; Chen Shiwei naturally understood what Han Si Hai was referring to and replied with a chuckle, "Master Si, you’re being too polite. We’ve been friends for many years after all. How could I bear to see you suffer inside? We’re like brothers; at crucial times, of course, I’ll lend a hand!"

Whether it was to Han Si Hai or Chen Shiwei, both had a mental scale. They understood each other, exchanged polite words, appeared harmless on the surface, but underneath, shared a mutual interest. Except for one’s own parents, no one would selflessly sacrifice for you!

"In any case, I, Han Si Hai, still have to thank you. You know how difficult my situation is lately!" Han Si Hai sighed and shook his head.

Chen Shiwei let out a chuckle, calculating his own interests. Chen Shiwei was a man with a strong sense of possession, but his façade was deeply concealed, so he would never show this dominance!

"I am somewhat aware of your recent difficulties, Master Si, but with your vast capabilities, it shouldn’t be a problem to get through this hurdle!" Chen Shiwei said.

"Haha, to be honest, Eldest Young Master Chen, my current situation is extraordinarily difficult. The stock is plummeting, on the verge of bankruptcy!" Han Si Hai said with a bitter smile.

Though Han Si Hai wasn’t as quick-witted as Chen Shiwei, he wasn’t foolish either. If he were stupid, he couldn’t have led the Han Family to become one of the three major families in Wancheng. Chen Shiwei’s visit today wasn’t out of idle curiosity; besides the real estate company, there is probably nothing else to catch Chen Shiwei’s attention!

"Haha, if Master Si finds it difficult, I could help you out. No matter how bad, your real estate company is worth quite a bit, right? How about this: I offer two hundred million yuan for fifty percent of your company’s shares. In other words, we each hold half of the company. I will cover all the project funds moving forward. You can invest that two hundred million into other industries, the real estate company won’t require a penny from you; you just wait to rake in the money!" Chen Shiwei proposed with a smiling face.

Two hundred million for half of a real estate company’s shares is indeed not much. A conservative estimate of the value of Han Si Hai’s real estate company is five hundred million. Although the stock is falling now, the investment funds and sales performance are clear-cut. For Han Si Hai, however, seemingly without a better plan, refusing means waiting for bankruptcy, while agreeing at least promises profit. Most importantly, Han Si Hai needed capital to seek revenge against Lin Mu!

Thinking of this, as long as he could avenge himself on Lin Mu, everything else was negotiable, and he almost had no choice now. If Chen Shiwei really wanted the real estate company, he could just wait for bankruptcy. Instead of waiting for that result, it would be more advantageous to accept the two hundred million debt now and give Chen Shiwei fifty percent of the shares!

Chen Shiwei isn’t foolish either. He knows that acquiring the company after Han Si Hai’s bankruptcy would require less money. However, what appears easy might be hard in practice, especially since Lin Mu is also waiting for Han Si Hai to go bankrupt. If a direct confrontation with Lin Mu arises, it could result in even greater losses and also offend Lin Mu. It’s better to directly invest two hundred million in exchange for fifty percent of the shares, at least with Han Si Hai fronting publicly. Eventually, when Han Si Hai is out of the picture, the company naturally becomes his!

Chen Shiwei’s ambition was strong, but he wasn’t greedy. He liked securing things thoroughly once acquired, never letting them slip from his grasp. This was Chen Shiwei’s strength: preferring to proceed carefully, thereby prevailing step by step!

"Haha, Master Si, there’s something to consider here. Honestly, it’s because of our friendship that I’m offering this. Otherwise, I could wait until the company collapses and then step in; that way, the whole company would be mine. But considering our friendship, I can’t just sit idly by when you’re in trouble, and only I would offer such a price. If Master Si finds this difficult, let’s pretend I never said anything!" Chen Shiwei waved his hand and said.

Han Si Hai could only smile bitterly: "Eldest Young Master Chen, what are you saying? Your kindness I, Han Si Hai, will never forget. You know, the real estate company is my biggest dependency, but with you, Eldest Young Master Chen, co-managing it with me, I’m completely at ease. You’re also aware of my current situation, Eldest Young Master. My hatred with Lin Mu has reached an irreconcilable point, so you offer two hundred million, I’ll give you fifty percent of the shares, no problem. However, I have another request: I no longer have any capable hands to use, I need you to provide me with a team of skilled people to deal with Lin Mu. As long as Lin Mu remains, I won’t live in peace, and I’m sure Eldest Young Master Chen wouldn’t want to be threatened by Lin Mu, right?"
