Chapter 1425 1420: The Crumpled Five Yuan Bill
Seeing Li Yun speechless, this oddball Lin Hanyi actually turned to Lin Xi: "Xixi, you now have 33.3 percent of the shares. Let your uncle hold onto these shares. Don't worry, at the end of the year, I'll definitely hand over every penny of the dividends to you."Lin Xi: "..."
Regarding this uncle with a brain that seems so different from normal people, Lin Xi had already lost hope. You just stabbed me in the back, and now, when there's something to gain, you think of familial ties?
However, Lin Xi didn't have the energy to ponder what kind of mind her odd uncle was born with.
Indeed, Li Yun used some tactics to acquire 35.5 percent of Yimena Group's shares, but one had to admit Li Yun truly lived up to being a giant in the Jiangdu Business World for twenty years—very powerful, hard to resist.
But what exactly caused him to so easily abandon Yimena that was already in his grasp?
Lin Xi couldn't understand; who would willingly let go of meat that's already in their mouth? Moreover, this is Li Yun we're talking about—Lin Xi felt there was a big issue here.
"President Lin, please sign."
Receiving the transfer agreement from Secretary Chen, Li Yun swiftly signed his name and then handed it to Lin Xi.
Yet Lin Xi didn't immediately take the pen to sign, instead carefully reviewing the transfer agreement.
Then, quite unexpectedly, she refused.
"Mr. Li, I can't accept this." Lin Xi spoke with firm resolve.
According to Li Yun's premium acquisition calculation, for these 35.5 percent shares, Li Yun spent not less than four billion.
Now suddenly selling it to her for one yuan, this was something Lin Xi could not accept.
This bargain was too unsettling for her.
In face of Lin Xi's refusal, Li Yun was also stunned, isn't it common knowledge to take advantage of bargains?
Lin Xi had also reviewed the transfer agreement; there was simply no trap within it.
So why didn't she accept?
Lin Xi's refusal instead made Li Yun anxious; he said somewhat excitedly, "President Lin, please believe me—I sincerely want to transfer the shares in my hand to you."
Yet Lin Xi still shook her head: "No, business is business. Although I find Mr. Li's approach detestable, this is still business. You paid almost four billion to acquire these shares, now if I take them from you for just one Huaxia Coin, isn't it a blatant robbery?"
Upon hearing Lin Xi say this, Li Yun instead breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "President Lin, it's all voluntary on my part. For one Huaxia Coin, I'll transfer all my shares to you, what do you say?"
Li Yun used an almost pleading tone—now Yimena's shares were no longer attractive, but instead had become like a hot potato.
Li Yun was eager to dispose of Yimena's shares, but Lin Xi was unwilling to take them.
Beside them, Zhang Biao watched eagerly, having originally been communicated with when Li Yun acquired Yimena's shares.
Between him and Li Yun, there was an agreement that upon completing the acquisition of Yimena, Li Yun would transfer the shares to him—but he needed to provide a 5 percent price fluctuation on the price Li Yun paid.
Don't underestimate that 5 percent.
Taking four billion as a basis, 5 percent would mean two hundred million!
Li Yun could turn a hand for two hundred million in profit, and he even managed to explore Su Chen's situation.
But now, it had proven too difficult—Li Yun was a smart man; he didn't insist further. In order to grasp Su Chen's situation, he already experienced such a big loss, nearly threatening his current status in the Li Family.
So, he naturally didn't want to confront Su Chen head-on anymore.
"Mr. Li, if you want to sell your shares now, I'm willing to take them on—thirty-five billion, I'll gather the money within seven days and deliver it with both hands, how about it?" Zhang Biao offered a price that was indeed sincere.
But was Li Yun solely after that thirty-five billion?
If following the normal outcome, Li Yun would sell his shares to Zhang Biao for at least forty-five billion upwards.
Now Zhang Biao offered thirty-five billion, which was simply humiliating himself.
So Li Yun didn't pay any attention to Zhang Biao; he merely gazed at Lin Xi pleadingly.
"President Lin, could you do me a favor and acquire my shares for one Huaxia Coin?"
Zhang Biao: I'm offering thirty-five billion! Thirty-five billion, do you see my situation?
You've spent over forty billion; now you're selling for one Huaxia Coin to Lin Xi—are you sending money their way?
But Li Yun too had grievances that couldn't be voiced—did anyone think he was willing to lose this money?
He didn't want to either, but he had no choice.
If he didn't want to transfer the shares to Lin Xi, not to mention others—even his backing sixth uncle of the Li Family wouldn't let him off.
Though he didn't quite understand what had happened, the terror of his sixth uncle's anger was something he was starkly aware of.
"But..." Lin Xi was startled by Li Yun's demeanor; this isn't a small sum, shares worth three to four billion, more than what she currently holds.
"No buts! As long as President Lin signs now, I guarantee I won't cause you any trouble!"
Li Yun was nearly swearing an oath, kneeling and begging Lin Xi to accept the shares.
These shares truly were too hot to handle.
The loss of three to four billion wasn't particularly damaging to the Li Group—as long as Li Yun could maintain his status, he could earn back the money anytime.
This was something Li Yun was clear about.
However, if Li Yun lost his current status and identity, the outcome facing him might indeed be miserable.
Previously, when he did certain things, he had the Li Family's protection, so no one dared touch him. But once he lost today's status, without his sixth uncle's protection, his and Li Lin's fate could be foreseen.
"This..." Lin Xi was about to refuse, yet Su Chen suddenly spoke nonchalantly.
"Since Mr. Li is so sincere, President Lin won't stand on ceremony." Su Chen patted his pockets.
He pulled out a crumpled five-yuan note from his trousers pocket.
After digging around for a while, he couldn't retrieve any other money.
In the stupefied gaze of everyone, Su Chen handed the five-yuan note to Li Yun.
"Here's five Huaxia Coins—no need to give change, consider it a 500% premium!"
When Su Chen said this, Li Yun and Lin Hanyi couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
A 500% premium...
Li Yun had also bought 10% of the shares from Lin Hanyi at a 500% premium.
That was a billion-dollar premium acquisition, and Su Chen's 500% premium was exceptionally ironic.
After Su Chen handed the crumpled five-yuan note to Li Yun, he took back the documents, offering them to Lin Xi: "Sign it!"
