Chapter 887 Mysterious Treasure
There is a difference between whether it is a sincere apology or a forced apology after a last resort. Ou Zhengming knew it in his heart, and Xiao Yao also knew it very well.
Facing the low posture and even a little humble Ou Zhengming, Xiao Yao did not look arrogant at all. The smile on his face was still as friendly as before. "Zhengming, what are you doing? There is really no need to do this. Everyone is a man and has the right to pursue love. Of course, you cannot have jealousy. You did something wrong, but didn't you succeed?
There is no need for you to apologize so seriously. We have not known each other for a long time, and we are not even friends. It is normal for a small conflict to occur, and I have never taken it to heart.
As for some business disputes, it is limited to business. I have always been very clear about the private relationship between the public and the private sector. Personal feelings will never be brought into work. Don’t worry about this.”
Ou Zhengming didn't expect Xiao Yao to have such an attitude and reply. It was really embarrassing under the gaze of his two friends.
Originally, he wanted to play the emotional card. If Xiao Yao was a person who wanted to save face, the price he paid today would definitely be smaller. But Xiao Yao was obviously younger than him, but he was more experienced than him. He determined the tone of today's negotiations in a few words. Public is public and private is private. The two cannot be confused. His idea of playing the emotional card was completely lost.
Ling Shaonong quickly smoothed out the situation, "Let's stop standing. We are friends, everything is easy to say, everyone sit down and talk."
After everyone sat down, Ling Shaolong continued to play the role of threading needles and threading, "Everyone was originally friends, but to this point, it was true that you were wrong. Let's not talk about the past. Since Xiao Yao is still happy to sit here and listen to your explanation today, it means that he still has a trace of cherishing the past friendship in his heart, otherwise, he really doesn't need to sit here and talk to you.
Let’s not talk about those stupid words, just take a little real one, just talk about how to compensate Xiao Yao, right?”
Saying a thousand words and ten thousand is the most important point. Ou Zhengming continued: "It must be the most sincere compensation. If Xiao Yao is interested in some aspects of our Dazheng Group's industry, I can consider transferring it free of charge. If there is no such idea, I can also transfer the shares of Dazheng Group to Xiao Yao for free. Of course, if Xiao Yao has any ideas, I can also propose it. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to do it."
Such a reply is indeed quite sincere. Although Ou Zhengming has not given a specific plan, he is obviously preparing for heavy bleeding. As long as Xiao Yao puts forward his request, even if it is a little more demanding, it will definitely be discussed.
"Zhengming, I know what you mean. I understand your mood that you are eager to stabilize the situation of Taishen Group, but you do this, obviously you are seeking medical treatment in a hurry. Isn't it embarrassing for me to do this?
I have always been a clear distinction between public and private affairs. My work will never be mixed with personal feelings. Moreover, I rarely interfere in the group's business. I don't hide it from you. There is indeed competition between your Taizheng Group and some of my businesses, but these competitions are healthy, and even if there is competition, it is fair competition.
Even if I, the chairman, owns the controlling stake, cannot ignore the interests of other shareholders. Business competition is everywhere. I cannot give up the interests just because we are friends. This principle is very simple, and you should understand it.
I am willing to come here to meet you today, not to talk about work matters with you. Business competition does not allow for generousness and mercy. I think there is nothing to talk about.
We can sit here in harmony because we have common good friends. We men cannot live without careers and friends. If we are just working relationships, we can’t do the same. We sat together today, and I think it’s more appropriate to talk about friendship.”
Xiao Yao clearly didn't want to continue the talk, or he was not interested in his proposal.
Ou Zhengming felt that the plan he proposed was a huge concession. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao was so greedy that he didn't even want to talk. He was obviously dissatisfied, or he wanted more.
Xiao Yao can put his posture very high, ignore interests and only talk about friendship, but Ou Zhengming cannot.
Today's meeting is his last chance. If Xiao Yao's forgiveness cannot be obtained, then his Dazheng Group will really disappear.
When someone is under the roof, he has to bow his head. Xiao Yao doesn't want to talk, so he can only propose a plan unilaterally, and it must be a plan that the other party cannot refuse, otherwise he will not even have the opportunity to talk.
"I believe Mr. Xiao should have some understanding of our mining layout in *zhou. With the current proven reserves, the valuation of these minerals in *zhou is 400 billion yuan, which is definitely not high. I am willing to transfer all industries in *zhou to Mr. Xiao for free to use this as compensation. I wonder if Mr. Xiao is satisfied?"
The compensation given by Ou Zhengming was definitely considered a heavy bleeding. Although he was reluctant to let it go, he still gritted his teeth and made this decision.
After hearing Ou Zhengming's words, in addition to Xiao Yao's ability to remain calm, Ling Shaonong and others looked surprised.
They all knew that Ou Zhengming's investment in *zhou was a great success and gained great benefits, but the valuation of 400 billion was something they could never imagine.
The compensation given by Ou Zhengming is indeed a huge temptation before the plan is implemented, but at this moment, it is not at all attractive to Xiao Yao.
Ou Zhengming's major minerals in the continent are now in turmoil. As long as Xiao Yao works harder, these minerals will be his soon. In order to implement this plan, his initial investment is also huge. As soon as the plan is about to succeed, he certainly will not accept Ou Zhengming's "good intention".
Xiao Yao refused very simply, "I am the most afraid of trouble. As far as I know, your mines are now in disputes, so I won't get involved."
Xiao Yao was not satisfied with throwing out such a large piece of fat. If it weren't for the situation, Ou Zhengming would have wanted to curse!
When did Ou Zhengming suffer such grievances? He has made such a big concession. Xiao Yao is not satisfied. This is simply too much!
If he hadn't done enough psychological construction before coming to negotiate, he might have been unable to help but the anger in his heart and left immediately.
He made such a decision like he was cutting his flesh in his heart. He couldn't bear to leave any possibility.
Not only is his industrial valuation higher than that of Taicang Group, but also 70% of the shares are owned by him personally, and the remaining 30% of the shares belong to Taicang Group.
*City’s mining company is far more important to him than Taisho Group!
If Xiao Yao is not satisfied with this plan, then there are not many things he can bring out.
Ou Zhengming gritted his teeth and continued: "In addition to the industry in *zhou, our Dazheng Group also has a land reserve worth about 30 billion yuan. This is the best part of our Dazheng Group's assets. I am willing to cooperate with Mr. Xiao to transfer these land reserves to you. The expenses involved will be borne by me personally."
There are only so many things that Ou Zhengming can take out. If Xiao Yao still disagrees, then he will have no choice.
Xiao Yao was really moved by the 30 billion land reserves of Dazheng Group.
These land reserves belong to the Dazheng Group. Xiao Yao can use various means to suppress the Dazheng Group, but it does not mean that he can grab this part of the most valuable assets.
Although he worked hard to suppress Dazheng Group, Dazheng Group is a domestic listed company and the benefits he gained from it are limited. According to the current situation, these land reserves are destined to belong to major banks, and Xiao Yao could not get involved at all.
Although Xiao Yao was jealous of these land reserves, a mere 30 billion was not enough to change his plan.
Xiao Yao's plan was very successful. He would be able to obtain the minerals in Ou Zhengming's continent immediately. Compared with Ou Zhengming's promise, the only difference was these land reserves.
What he wanted the most was Ou Zhengming's secret, not the 30 billion.
"I'm very moved, but this is not my principle of doing things. I'm sorry, I can't agree to you." Xiao Yao still refused.
With Xiao Yao's rejection, Ou Zhengming's face turned pale.
He didn't expect that Xiao Yao's hatred for him was so great that he would rather give up such a huge benefit than take revenge on him.
Compared with his promise, Xiao Yao has definitely not gained so much benefits through suppressing Dazheng Group.
Take the minerals in the * continent for example. Even if Xiao Yao can finally snatch them through various means, he will have to pay a huge price, and it will definitely last for a long time.
But if Xiao Yao accepts his compensation, he will be able to get a mineral company worth 400 billion without spending any cost.
Not to mention the suppression in China, Xiao Yao spent a lot of energy, but he didn’t get much.
Xiao Yao would rather give up such huge benefits than let him go bankrupt, which shows how deep the hatred he hated him in his heart.
Seeing Ou Zhengming's pale face, Ling Shaonong and Su Wenjing felt a little embarrassed.
Ling Shaonong knew that his people were slight, but he still wanted to win a chance for Ou Zhengming, so he said, "Xiao Yao, let me say something more. You and Zhengming don't have any deep hatred. I'll tell the truth. If you don't want to accept the conditions he offered, it must be that the price he paid was not enough. What price do you think Zhengming has paid? Are you willing to forgive him? Can you say it?"
"To be honest, I really don't care about money. Whether it's tens of billions or hundreds of billions, it's just a string of irrelevant numbers for me. If Ou Zhengming wants me to stop competing with Dazheng Group, it's not impossible. I can give him a chance." Xiao Yao suddenly changed his words.
"That's good, that's good. Xiao Yao, please make any requests. Maybe Zhengming is willing to agree." Ling Shaonong looked happy.
Even Ou Zhengming had a glimmer of glory in his eyes. Compared with the bankruptcy of Dazheng Group, as long as Xiao Yao’s request was not too excessive, he would still be willing to accept it.
Xiao Yao's eyes looked directly at Ou Zhengming's eyes. At this moment, his eyes seemed extremely aggressive, "I know you have something that is crucial in your life. As long as you give me this thing, I will stop competing with Dazheng Group immediately."
Ou Zhengming's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes looked at Xiao Yao full of vigilance.
Xiao Yao has been paying attention to Ou Zhengming's expression changes. Ou Zhengming's reaction is so obvious that he immediately made him sure that he had the right bet this time.
He now speculated that Ou Zhengming had obtained some kind of secret technique or some kind of secret treasure, and he was not sure which one it was.
But he felt that Ou Zhengming might have obtained some kind of secret treasure.
The reason for this guess is that without any inheritance, even if Ou Zhengming obtains some secret technique, it is difficult to practice successfully.
But if he gets some kind of secret treasure, if he meets the conditions, he can simply control it once he recognizes the owner.
He just wanted to cheat Ou Zhengming with his words, but he didn't expect it to succeed.
Suddenly, the biggest secret in his heart was revealed in one word, and Ou Zhengming felt a little panicked.
But after the initial panic, his mentality quickly calmed down.
He got the treasure when he was 8 years old. He only knew about it. He had never told the second person. Even his family didn't know his secret, so how could Xiao Yao know?
He felt that Xiao Yao might have guessed something, but was just using words to deceive him, and it was impossible for him to truly know his secret. Since that is the case, he must remain calm.
Ou Zhengming's reaction was quick. He knew that his expression change just now would definitely increase Xiao Yao's suspicion, and he had to save it.
His head quickly turned, and a tangled look appeared on his face. He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I didn't expect that you investigated so much. After I got this treasure, I never mentioned it to anyone, and I actually let you know.
For me, the jade token I got is a truly priceless treasure, it is really priceless and can never be exchanged for thousands of dollars."
Seeing Ou Zhengming's painful expression, Ling Shaonong was curious and said, "We are friends for many years. You know my secret. You don't even tell me your secret. It's so sad!"
Ou Zhengming quickly explained: "It's not that I won't tell you, it's because this treasure is too expensive. I'm worried that the news will cause me trouble when it spreads, so I didn't tell anyone. Not only do you not know about this treasure, but even my parents and grandfather don't know."
Ling Shaonong didn't blame anything at all, but was just curious. Now that he learned that even Ou Zhengming's parents didn't know, there was nothing to say.
