Got 100 billion
1036 Words
"Since you've made up your mind, let's meet someone. He's interested in acquiring the shares you hold."
"Who?"
"Stone Haotian."
...
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan finished his bowl of noodles without leaving a single strand. As expected, among the people present, only Stone Haotian could immediately produce so much money. He must be anxious to prevent others from seizing the opportunity.
Leaving the noodle shop, he drove to the agreed-upon location.
It was a high-end nightclub.
Lin Minghu arrived first, waiting at the entrance. When Lin Xuan got out of the car, he went straight to the point.
"Where's Stone Haotian?"
"Follow me!" Lin Minghu frowned and led him into the nightclub. Lin Xuan's changed attitude made him feel like he was dealing with a stranger – a complete 180-degree turn that left him bewildered.
They took the elevator to the top floor of the nightclub.
The decoration here was significantly different from the lower floors, still luxurious but resembling a private villa more.
Before they could enter, a scantily clad woman approached.
"Gentlemen, please follow me." With a gesture of invitation, she exposed everything in front of them.
Lin Xuan glanced briefly, showing no interest in the carefully crafted display. Lin Minghu followed suit.
The woman led them to a poolside where Stone Haotian lay on a lounger, enjoying fruits fed to him by a beautiful woman. Another one massaged his legs.
Lin Xuan smirked at the extravagant antics of a fifty-something man.
Noticing their entrance, Stone Haotian waved his hand.
"Everyone, leave."
The two beautiful women and the woman who led Lin Xuan out retreated together.
Stone Haotian sat up.
"Xiao Xuan, you've heard what your uncle said, right?"
Lin Xuan, without hesitation, sat on a nearby lounger.
"Speak, how do you plan to acquire it?"
"Haha, young man, straight to the point. Alright, no beating around the bush. I have no issue with the three hundred billion price, but liquidating it will take some time. Currently, I can only come up with a hundred billion. I promise to pay the remaining two hundred billion within a month. What do you think?"
"Fine." Lin Xuan readily agreed. A hundred billion was more than enough for him to purchase supplies. Getting the remaining two hundred billion sooner would be great, but even if it took longer, he didn't mind.
Stone Haotian raised an eyebrow, expecting some negotiation, but surprisingly, it went smoothly. He felt an unreal sensation.
"Alright! It's settled then. Tomorrow, I'll have my lawyer coordinate with you. Is that okay?"
"Sure, anything else? If not, I'll be on my way." Lin Xuan stood up.
Stone Haotian was momentarily stunned, unsure how to respond to Lin Xuan's straightforwardness.
"Uh, okay, no need to escort you."
Lin Xuan turned and left.
Watching Lin Xuan's departing figure, Lin Minghu's eyes were almost bleeding.
His nephew completely ignored him from start to finish, not even bothering to say goodbye.
"Was he always like this?" Stone Haotian asked, squinting.
Only now did Lin Minghu recover from the shock.
"No, in the past, he listened to what I said. Now, he treats me like a stranger. I don't understand why."
Stone Haotian narrowed his eyes. "He handles things with the same charisma as his father back in the day. If he had stayed in the company, he would have become a big problem."
Lin Minghu forced a smile.
"Mr. Stone, the remaining shares he has won't cause any ripples. Regarding the agreement you made with me..."
He had a deal with Stone Haotian – if this business went through, he could get a 15% cut. Although he didn't do much, once the deal was done, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to earn extra money.
"Don't worry; I'll make sure you get your share."
...
Lin Xuan returned directly home; no one was there, and Jam Tam should have left.
Without dwelling on those thoughts, he had a busy day, and his untrained body was starting to feel the strain.
Picking up the 15kg dumbbell that had been neglected in the corner since he bought it, he lifted it a few times before his hands gave out.
Once he got the hundred billion, apart from establishing a shelter, upgrading the ring was crucial.
Gold!
Lin Xuan sighed; the preparations were indeed cumbersome.
After enjoying a hot bath, he went to bed early.
The next morning, he was awakened by a ringing phone. Irritated, he answered it, finding an unfamiliar number. Clearing his throat, he pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Lin Xuan? I am Stone's lawyer. If it's convenient, can we sign the equity transfer agreement now?"
"Come to my office in an hour."
"Alright."
...
An hour later, Lin Xuan and Stone Haotian's lawyer sat face to face in his luxurious office.
After carefully reading the agreement, Lin Xuan signed it after confirming there were no tricks. Once the other party verified, he quickly received a transfer of a hundred billion.
At this moment, Stone Haotian, with a triumphant smile, walked in, a cigar dangling from his mouth.
"Haha, Xiao Xuan is indeed a straightforward person. Everything is settled so quickly."
His smug appearance was a far cry from the benevolent look he had before.
"I'm quick; I hope you keep your promise and transfer the remaining two hundred billion as soon as possible. This place has nothing to do with me now; I'll take my leave." With the money in hand, Lin Xuan had no interest in lingering.
Leaving the office building, the scorching sun reddened his skin.
The temperature was rising every day, and the streets that were once crowded were now nearly deserted.
Not knowing how Ethan's contact was progressing, if it wasn't expedited, prices would rise soon.
Arriving at the wholesale store he purchased, he found a sign at the door that read 'Temporarily Closed.'
Entering, Ethan was on the phone. Seeing Lin Xuan, he politely nodded and continued diligently recording something.
Lin Xuan approached him and glanced at what he was jotting down – it was like a foreign language, completely incomprehensible.
Listening to his conversation with the person on the other end, it seemed he was in contact with a slaughterhouse.
