Lin Ke meant that a family business like Grand Express Corporation was usually very exclusive.
As a meritorious official of Grand Express Corporation, Ning Haohan did not receive any corresponding treatment. As an outsider of Alex, he was the Xavier family’s biggest enemy. It was not easy to take down the task. It could almost be said that it was an impossible task. Even if he spent money on it, it would be difficult to control it.
Comparatively speaking, choosing to cooperate with Ning Haohan could reduce the risk—if he was willing.
Although Ning Haohan was just a deputy general manager, now that Gerald had been arrested, he was likely to go to jail. At least he couldn’t go back to the group to take charge of the overall situation in a short time, so the deputy general manager was the highest level leader. In addition, Ning Haohan still had some reputation inside Grand Express Corporation. Except for the direct descendants of Gerald, the rest were basically Ning Haohan’s supporters.
If Ning Haohan had further ambitions, it would be the best time for him to display his ambitions!
After learning about the situation, Alex immediately called Xie Laosi and asked him to arrange for his brothers to inquire about the current situation of Grand Express Corporation, as well as investigate the high-level officials, including Ning Haohan. At the same time, he asked someone to contact Ning Haohan and tried to arrange a meeting.
Before hanging up the phone, Xie Laosi raised a question, which was that Tang Qingsong’s disappearance had attracted a lot of attention. They had secretly imprisoned Tang Qingsong for several days, so they had to make a decision as soon as possible. They couldn’t keep delaying; otherwise it might cause public opinion and media negative influence, which would cause unnecessary trouble for them.
It was only then that Alex remembered that Tang Qingsong’s matter had not yet been settled properly, and it had implicated Sincere Advertising Agency.
Under the pressure of Gold Stone, the business of Sincere Advertising Agency was greatly reduced, and it was basically dealing with business less than 100,000 yuan. The highest level of business alone was not enough to support such a big company. Originally, Alex planned to take this opportunity to buy Sincere Advertising Agency.
However, after careful consideration, Alex felt that it was unnecessary.
Firstly, Sincere Advertising Agency mainly focused on advertising design, which coincided with the business of Gold Stone. Instead of spending a lot of money to deal with Sincere Advertising Agency, it was better to expand the scale of Gold Stone. From the perspective of maximize the interest, there was no need to take over the mess of Sincere Advertising Agency. All he needed to do was to snatch over the business of Sincere Advertising Agency.
Secondly, Alex’s right-hand men were limited. If he managed to win over Sincere Advertising Agency, he would not be able to find a suitable manager in a short time. But if Sincere Advertising Agency continued to fall, then the money to buy the company would be wasted. It was not worth it.
Although Alex didn’t lack money, he didn’t want to lose his reputation as a black sheep.
The only problem was that the shares taken from Tang Qingsong were not easy to deal with.
Alex left Qingyun Media and made an appointment with Xie Laosi. He directly saw Xie Laosi in the car and said bluntly, “It’s a little useless for Tang Qingsong to transfer the shares under your name. It’s a pity to lose them. But if we keep them, it’s just an empty document. We can’t get real benefits.”
“Yes.” Xie Laosi nodded and said, “I’m also considering this problem. Tang Qingsong doesn’t have a lot of shares in the company. He only has a 10% share. If you want to take this little share into cash and take over the whole company, you will spend more.”
“Change it into cash?”
When Alex heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, “Yes, I can make it into cash!”
Xie Laosi was a little confused. “Mr. Alex, you mean…”
“We don’t want the shares. Let Tang Qingsong withdraw the funds!”
“And then let Tang Qingsong transfer the money back to us?”
“That’s right! In this way, not only will we get what we want, but we can also make things worse for Sincere Advertising Agency! If the company goes bankrupt, it will be equivalent to killing the biggest rival of Gold Stone in the city! This is a great move!”
“That makes sense! President Alex, shall we go and find Tang Qingsong now?”
“Yes! Lead the way!”
Alex made up his mind and immediately followed Xie Laosi to the secret place where Tang Qingsong was locked up.
Xie Laosi and Ma Zhiyuan joined hands to take over the original Chase and Tang Qingsong’s territory. There were many industries that were currently resting. Now Tang Qingsong was locked up in the basement of a pool hall by Xie Laosi.
Tang Qingsong, who hadn’t seen the sun for a few days, had a face full of dust and was already very sloppy. However, when he saw Alex, he immediately came up to him and said angrily, “Alex, you fucking have found all the results of my hard work for the rest of my life. What else do you want?”
Alex shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Tang Qingsong, look at you. Are you not convinced? Think about it yourself. Which of the money you earned is clean? You’ll have to pay it back sooner or later. Now, it’s time for you to repay your sins.”
“Why didn’t you let go of me after you have taken all my money?”
“You just need to do one more thing to regain your freedom.”
“You… Are you fucking done?”
“Tang Qingsong, you’d better find your own position. The opportunity is right in front of you, and it’s only once. If you haven’t lived enough, you’d better cooperate…”
“If I don’t cooperate, do you dare to kill me?”
“What, do you think I don’t dare to kill you? Tang Qingsong, no matter how powerful you used to be, in my eyes, you are just an ant that can be trampled to death at will. You made a lot of money without conscience and offended many people. If you don’t cooperate, I have a hundred ways to make you die in peace. I won’t get into any trouble.”
Tang Qingsong was so angry that he was trembling all over. He wished he could tear Alex into pieces.
But under the eaves, he had to bow his head.
In fact, the moment Tang Qingsong was secretly locked up here by Xie Laosi, he realized that there was no hope of turning the tables. He could only be trampled on. He no longer had the capital to bargain with Alex. The only thing left was his life.
After this conversation, he realized that Alex was not worried about his life at all.
He had not yet lived enough, and he was not qualified to bargain at all. He had no choice but to give in. He sighed and said slowly, “Tell me, what else do you want me to do?”
Alex smiled faintly, took a document from Xie Laosi, and said to Tang Qingsong, “This is the investment agreement you signed before. I’ll return it to you.”
“Alex, what are you trying to do?”
“We don’t want your shares. All we need is money. What you need to do is to withdraw your funds.”
“Hiss… Alex, are you going to squeeze me out completely?”
“Congratulations, you got it right…” Alex said, tore the agreement into pieces, and threw it on Tang Qingsong. “I’ll give you one day to withdraw the funds and transfer them to our account. If you dare to play tricks or fail, you’ll die.”
After that, Alex turned around.
Tang Qingsong quickly stopped Alex. “It’s not a problem for me to withdraw the funds, but you have to let me out?”
Alex shook his head and said, “Tang Qingshan is your brother. If you want to withdraw the money, you don’t have to go through the procedure. Just let him give you the money. If you think about it, you can call him at any time. However, you’d better consider what you should say and what you shouldn’t say first.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll call him now!”
“Sure!”
Alex immediately winked at Xie Laosi.
Xie Laosi understood and immediately took out Tang Qingsong’s phone. He dialed Tang Qingshan’s number, turned on the speaker, and put the phone in front of Tang Qingsong.
Soon, the phone was connected. Tang Qingshan’s anxious voice came from the speaker, “Qingsong, where have you been? Why can’t I find you in a few days? I can’t even get through to you…”
Tang Qingsong interrupted Tang Qingshan directly, “I’m in trouble. Get me some money!”
“What’s going on?”
“Don’t ask. If you don’t want me to die, just give me money!”
“How much?”
“Fifteen million!”
“What? 15 million? I’m very tight on my hands now. How can I get so much money? Qingsong, tell me honestly, what kind of trouble are you in? I’ll help you find a way!”
“The only way is to give me money. Don’t worry; I won’t take your money for free. I invested 15 million yuan in your company, so you can take it as a withdrawal…”
