Chapter 165: Rules are meant to be broken
With Zhou Ming's apology, Tang Lin and Hoover were stunned at that time, looking at Zhou Ming with a surprised expression of "Are you kidding me?"
In fact, Zhou Ming's approach was beyond their expectations, or they also thought that Zhou Ming might use the way of picking and picking to negotiate or even force them to compromise, but that was the hole card that was shown at a critical time when the two sides negotiated.
Zhou Ming didn't care about this, he just looked at them very calmly and asked, "Do you have anything else?" If not, we will take our leave first, goodbye." β
After saying that, Zhou Ming took Tang Ran to stand up together, Tang Ran said happily, obviously she was not affected by Zhou Ming's words, or she was originally disgusted by the Tang Bank and the Tang family's inheritance, so now that Zhou Ming is leaving, of course she is the happiest.
Zhou Ming walked to the door and opened the door, but the two female bodyguards blocked the door, Zhou Ming turned around and frowned and asked Tang Lin: "If Mr. Tang Lin has nothing else to discuss, please ask your people to get out of the way." β
Looking at the confrontation between Zhou Ming and the two female bodyguards at the door, Tang Lin came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope you have heard a word called moderation, this is what I want to encourage you now, if you have any conditions to put forward, and don't pick on such a disagreeing person, don't you know that such behavior will only make people feel naΓ―ve?"
"So Mr. Tang Lin thinks so? I'm sorry, whether you believe it or not, I really want to leave, not to blackmail you. Zhou Ming said.
"There is no basis for your words, and it is not what you say to blackmail or not. Tang Lin laughed as he spoke, and he said while pouring himself tea, "Since Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really determined to leave, then please find a way for yourself." β
How could Zhou Ming not guess that Tang Lin was thinking about watching himself act, so Zhou Ming glanced at Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin nodded to Zhou Ming, and then took two steps forward.
And as Zhang Lin stepped forward, the two female bodyguards immediately felt the huge pressure, they bowed their bodies and posed in their respective fighting postures, and looked at Zhang Lin with fierce eyes, like two wolves hunting, but unfortunately these two wolves were constantly retreating under Zhang Lin's step-by-step pressure, because compared to them, Zhang Lin was more like a king of beasts patrolling his territory, looking down on life and death, and did not take the two female bodyguards in the way in his eyes at all.
Finally, Zhang Lin had already taken several steps and was about to walk out of the door, when Tang Lin couldn't help but shout: "What are you doing? You took my money, won't you even stop him?"
Tang Lin's order was undoubtedly the last straw that crushed the nerves, and with Tang Lin's voice, the two female bodyguards burst into cheers at the same time and rushed towards Zhang Lin.
The two female bodyguards are worthy of being retired mercenaries, although they are women, their movements are very aggressive and explosive, even if Zhou Ming is still separated by a distance, he can feel the wind whistling when they move.
One of them raised his hand and turned a knife into Zhang Lin's throat, while the other raised his leg and kicked his crotch.
I can't help but say that their movements are very synchronized, and they are also very practical, not to mention ordinary people, even if they are specially practiced, they are afraid that they will not be able to stand up after a second.
But it's a pity that the opponent they met this time was Zhang Lin, and of course Zhang Lin, who had been specially trained, reacted immediately, he first raised his leg to catch the leg of a female mercenary, and stepped on the other party's foot on the ground hard, and at the same time he also reached out to catch the hand knife of another female mercenary.
Zhang Lin's whole set of movements was completed in an instant, and before Tang Lin could see what was going on, he heard two female bodyguards screaming and falling to the ground, which made Tang Lin and Hoover stunned, and Hoover also exclaimed: "How is this possible! They are not embroidered pillows, but very powerful mercenaries, and hand-to-hand combat is their strength, even the retired special forces soldiers are not their opponents! How could it be ......?"
The latter words Hoover couldn't say anymore, because it was not strange that these two female bodyguards were defeated by them, so they didn't believe that there were invincible people in this world, but now they were met for seconds, which made them unable to calm down.
Zhou Ming didn't have time to pay attention to Tang Lin and Hoover, who were surprised that they could put a duck egg in their mouths, they walked out of the door, but they were stopped again, this time they were stopped by the bodyguards brought by Tang Lin, a middle-aged man in a Tai Chi suit and a sturdy young man.
Zhou Ming turned around and asked Tang Lin: "These two should be Mr. Tang Lin's people, right? Are you sure you want them to stop me?"
Tang Lin had to get up from his seat now, he waved his hand first to signal the two bodyguards to retreat, and it was obvious that the two of them were relieved.
This made Tang Lin frown, obviously his bodyguards were not confident that they could win against Zhou Ming's bodyguards.
Damn, what kind of monster did this guy bring with him?
Tang Lin scolded in his heart, but on the surface, he still said very calmly: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I have no opinion on you leaving, but you can't take Tang Ran away." β
Tang Ran was not happy at that time: "Why? Your people can't beat Brother Ming's people......
These words hit Tang Lin in the face like a slap, making him very embarrassed but unable to refute it, but fortunately, Zhou Ming said to him at this time: "I'm sorry, although I don't want to say it, but you really don't seem to have the means to keep us behind, or are you going to close the elevator of the entire building, or threaten us in other ways?" Just like when you tricked Tang Ran into coming over?"
Tang Lin wanted to say yes, but he understood that since Zhou Ming said it directly, he must have a means of prevention, and more importantly, he did not have a way to force him to stay.
In the end, Tang Lin could only sigh and say: "I don't understand, what exactly do you want to do, didn't you ask Hoover to call me over to talk about cooperation?"
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "That's right, I do want to cooperate with you, on the basis of equality between the two parties." β
Almost as soon as Zhou Ming's words were finished, Tang Lin said: "This is on the basis of equality between the two sides!"
Zhou Ming looked at Tang Lin intently and asked, "Are you really so sure?"
Originally, Tang Lin was very confident, but when he heard Zhou Ming ask this, he became very unconfident, and Zhou Ming then said to him: "The first condition for the so-called equality is to be open and honest between both parties, but it seems that Mr. Tang Lin has not reached this point, remember what I asked you just now? What is your purpose in fighting for the inheritance of the Tang family." β
Zhou Ming then said: "In order to end the current inheritance farce within the clan, so that the family can recover as quickly as possible, this is your answer." β
Tang Lin spread out his hands and asked innocently: "It doesn't seem to be a problem, is it?"
"It's true that there is no problem in terms of words, but unfortunately, this has nothing to do with Tang Ran and me, and even three days ago, Tang Ran didn't know that she was still the heir of the Tang family. Zhou Ming paused here and then said, "So for us, we don't care about any inheritance farce, what is recovery, and the only thing that can make us care is Tang Bank, because he has a lot of money." β
Zhou Ming's words suddenly stopped at this point, he looked at Tang Lin intently and finally asked, "Can you understand what I said?"
Tang Lin nodded and said, "Yes, there is no problem, I can give you a lot of money, one million dollars and ten million dollars......"
Zhou Ming smiled, he interrupted Tang Lin's words and said, "If this money can buy more than 30% of the ownership shares of Tang Bank, then I think I am very willing to accept it, and even I think I can buy the entire Tang Bank." β
Tang Lin frowned, and at this time Hoover leaned into his ear to introduce Zhou Ming's situation to him, Tang Lin looked at Zhou Ming in surprise and said, "I really didn't expect you to have such an identity, it seems that if you get involved in this matter, I'm afraid that if I don't come up with enough weight, I won't be able to satisfy you." β
Zhou Ming nodded and replied: "That's right, that's why I said that what we need is real cooperation, as for the 1 million 11 million US dollars, you should donate it to the charity foundation." β
Tang Lin was silent for a while and then asked, "Then how much do you want?"
Zhou Ming spread his hands and said, "I don't know how much the heirs of the Tang family can inherit, but I think more than 30% of the shares of the Tang Bank should be ......."
Without waiting for Zhou Ming to finish speaking, Tang Lin resolutely interrupted: "This is impossible!"
"Is it impossible, or is it unwilling, Mr. Tang Lin?" Zhou Ming asked meaningfully.
Tang Lin was stopped by this question, he frowned and thought for a while before replying: "It's impossible, and I don't want to, because according to the rules of the Tang family, if all heirs want to inherit the family industry, they must show enough ability to lead the family to move forward, otherwise, if there is no record of work in the family industry, or only a record of failure, even if the heir who is the first in line is not eligible to inherit." β
Listening to Tang Lin's answer, Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Very good rules, this can help the family filter out those straw bales that only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and always keep the elite in power." β
Zhou Ming said and suddenly changed his words and said, "Then if that's the case, Mr. Tang Lin, why do you have to find Tang Ran to come back?"
"Because I have made great achievements in the family industry, and I have been promoted to the fifth heir in line because of these achievements, then as long as I can marry Tang Ran's cousin, with my work record in Tang Bank, coupled with Tang Ran's innate advantage as the first heir to the throne, we are enough to defeat all competitors!" Tang Lin said confidently.
But it's a pity that Tang Lin was only confident for three seconds, and when he finished speaking, he listened to Tang Ran and said: "Bragging, right? If you are really so good and have made very good results in Tang Bank, are you still afraid that the first three will not be successful in the fifth place?"
Tang Lin's expression was a little embarrassed: "That's not the case, I'm just planning to inherit it more securely......"
Zhou Ming interrupted Tang Lin's words and said, "You don't need to explain, these have nothing to do with us, because we can't accept it no matter what, but we can change the way." β
"In what way?" Tang Lin asked nervously, and then he felt a very bad premonition in his heart.
"It is our cooperation that makes Tang Ran the first heir to the name, and then we divide the inheritance of the family equally. Zhou Ming said.
"This is impossible!" Tang Lin shook his head and said, "I have just explained the rules of the family, it is impossible for a person without any achievements to inherit, not to mention that now except for a few elders of the family and a few of our top-ranked heirs, no one even knows her, she does not have any capital as the first heir in line, your cooperation is simply a fantasy!"
Zhou Ming smiled: "Mr. Tang Lin, is this really the case? If I remember correctly, the situation was the same twenty years ago, Tang Ran's father was also in China, and then he came to San Francisco after getting news of the family, if according to the rules you said, he didn't make achievements in the family, and he also didn't have any chance of inheritance, but didn't he succeed in inheriting the family in the end, didn't he?"
"So," Zhou Ming finally said, "the so-called rules are used to break, and I believe that there will be other ways to do everything, right?"
