Chen Jue also declared that he would ask his child to withdraw his investment. If the kid dared to resist, he would show him some “fatherly love”.
However, Liu Yi did not say anything. Everyone else looked at him.
Although no one spoke, the meaning in their eyes was obvious.
Liu Yi lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
Chen Jue coughed and said, “Old Liu, you’re the most unreliable among us. You clearly knew that your child invested in Xintao, so why didn’t you tell us? Could it be that you’re actually favoring Xintao? We all know that your Liu family has been working with the Yin Corporation. Don’t tell me you’re an undercover agent gathering information. How else can you explain why we suffered at Xintao’s hands every time? It’s as if Yin Xun knew our plans in advance.”
When Liu Yi heard Chen Jue framing him, he said grumpily, “Old Chen, don’t accuse an innocent man. One of the reasons my family invested in Xintao was because of an unfortunate event when we cooperated with the Yin Corporation. If we weren’t threatened by them at the time, we would have canceled the cooperation long ago.
“Besides, the children are all grown up. They all have their own thoughts. Do you think they will listen to us forever? I’ve already advised her before, but she refused to listen. Because of this, I chased her out of the house. She hasn’t been home for a long time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around.”
“How can we be sure that you guys did not discuss it in advance? One person is investing in Xintao, and the other is investing in Blue Fox. By investing separately like this, no matter which side fails in the end, there will be a way out. The only downside is that you will earn less.” Zhao Xian and Chen Jue looked at each other and also criticized Liu Yi.
In any case, all the blame was on Liu Yi now. With that, they did not have to be the center of attention.
The three of them were usually on poor terms with each other. The reason everyone invested in Blue Fox was because they each had their own motives. Now that there was a problem, they all criticized each other without reservation.
Seeing that the three of them were about to argue, Le An quickly tried to smooth things over. “Everyone, we’re all in the same boat. Everyone’s interests are connected. There’s no way anyone would do something to harm their own interests. Therefore, this might be a misunderstanding. As long as everyone goes back home and resolves it, everything will be fine.”
Under Le An’s comforting words, the three of them finally stopped arguing.
Seeing this, Le An heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “It’s not enough to solve the children’s problem now. They’re just a small issue. The biggest problem is Fang Yao and the Qu family. After my investigation, I found that the main investor in Xintao is Fang Yao, and the Qu family only invested a little. The Qu family’s share is about the same as the children combined. It’s not very important.
“The Fang family and the Qu family have a good relationship. The Qu family has never been involved in small businesses. The reason they invested in Xintao this time is very likely because of Fang Yao. Therefore, we only need to think of a way to get Fang Yao to withdraw his investment. If we get the children to withdraw their investment too, there’s nothing to be afraid of in Xintao.”
Although this was a good idea in theory, how could they get Fang Yao to withdraw his investment? Their expressions suddenly became solemn. They did not know much about the Fang family.
They only knew a little, and that was something that even outsiders could find out.
The Fang family’s ancestors were connected by marriage. They had both power and wealth. Later on, they opened banks and did all kinds of business.
Today, the Fang family’s assets were not only inside the country, but also overseas. However, no one knew exactly what they had and how much, and no one dared to investigate in detail.
The family elders were already so powerful. As the only son of the Fang family, Fang Yao had been influenced by them since he was young and had a strong business acumen.
It was said that he did not rely on his family for money since he started university. He had built his company from scratch. In addition, more than 70 companies in the world’s top 100 had shares with Fang Yao, let alone the companies after the top 100.
Whether it was the Fang family or Fang Yao alone, they were both existences that they could not challenge. In terms of spending money, even if Fang Yao did not have the help of the Fang family, he was probably not afraid of challenging them face-on at all.
“So, how do we deal with Fang Yao? If he can take him out of the equation, Xintao will surely crumble,” Zhao Xian said.
These words sounded simple, but everyone knew how difficult it was to do this. How could they deal with Fang Yao? With Fang Yao’s power, if he decided to retaliate, everything would be over.
There was another problem. Fang Yao rarely showed his face. They had never seen him in the newspapers or various media outlets. They did not know his preferences either, so it was difficult to deal with him..
