Chapter III Negotiations

"Ding Dong", the elevator stopped on the third floor of the villa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The man took the key and led Mr. Wu out of the elevator door, stepping on the already creaking wooden floor until he walked to a bedroom with an additional security door. And when the man used the key to open the locks of the two doors inside and outside, he stayed outside and refused to go inside.

Lawyer Wu understood why the man was reluctant to enter, and he also took out a scented tissue to cover his nose before daring to push the security door. But even if you are ready, when you open the door, you are still almost washed away by a fishy smell.

In the dimly lit bedroom, only one bedside lamp was on. The blackout curtains in the house are never opened, so that it is impossible to distinguish between day and night. There are still traces of the removal of the LCD TV on the wall. In fact, not only the TV, but also the small lamp at the head of the bed and the infrared monitor on the roof of the room, everything that could be powered on in this room has been removed. The purpose is to make it impossible for the people in this cell to contact the outside world or know the outside world.

Lawyer Wu waited for his eyes to adjust to the light before covering his mouth and nose and entering the depths of the room, and he went straight to the bed.

There was a man lying on the bed, asleep, unresponsive. Because the room was so hot, the bedman kicked off all the blankets covering him, shrunk his hands and feet in front of his chest, and breathed one after another. This physiological characteristic can be regarded as confirming that the person is still alive.

The person on the bed was wearing a set of white silk pajamas, which had become mottled gray because they had not been changed for too long. Similarly, the bed was a mess, with high-quality but filthy bedding.

No one could have imagined that this person lying in the "splendid pile" was Hong Yanwu, a well-known billionaire in Beijing.

And this person is the "old guy" he must see even in the wind and snow, and he is also the real owner of this house.

Loneliness is really a terrible killer, Hong Yanwu is only in his fifties, but half a year of imprisonment has made the chairman who was full of energy gray hair. On the neck and face, because of the rapid weight loss, layers of folds appeared.

Lawyer Wu stood in front of the bed and looked at it, feeling that the person in front of him had become thinner again. Thinking of the old guy's commanding appearance before, he shuddered, and even couldn't bear to look at it.

There is no doubt that this is the reason why he will have nightmares assuming that he lives in this house. Not only did it make his conscience uneasy, but it also terrified him. Because what happened to Hong Yanwu is definitely the most typical sample, which fully proves that Gao always can't afford to offend, and the "big guys" behind Mr. Gao can't afford to offend. They can lift people up to the sky at any time, and they can also step people into the ground with one foot.

But who is to blame for this? The world is inherently the law of the jungle. Even the old guy made his fortune by being ruthless. What's more, he also suffered on his own, who let him deny his relatives for money? But whoever has a kiss will not fall to this point......

As far as Mr. Wu knows, Hong Yanwu used to be the chairman of Xinjing Group. At the beginning, it was Hong Yanwu and Mr. Gao who founded Xinjing Group together.

In the nineties, real estate companies became cash cows. The two partners quickly became billionaires, and over the past two decades, they have worked together to build the company into a leader in the real estate industry. But just half a year ago, Hong Yanwu accidentally "had a stroke" while playing golf.

Hong Yanwu is a real loner, has no children, and has been alone since the divorce. Hong Yanwu has no real friends, and even his relatives have legally severed relations with him. Therefore, Mr. Gao naturally took over the power of the company, and dismissed the original service staff in Hong Yanwu's family, and also found the couple from his hometown to be housekeepers. In this way, Hong Yanwu, who couldn't speak or move, was taken over by the couple as soon as he was taken home from the hospital.

Lawyer Wu, who participated in the conspiracy, knew very well that this "accident" was carefully planned by Mr. Gao, and the purpose was to seize 40% of the corporate shares in Hong Yanwu's name. And the purpose of his coming here every Friday is to persuade Hong Yanwu to transfer his equity.

Things didn't go well, though. Hong Yanwu is old and refined, and he is stubborn to the top, and he would rather endure all kinds of abuse than agree. After all kinds of persecution failed, Mr. Gao even planned to use drugs, but the doctor who was bribed said that because the "stroke" was caused by the use of some special neurological drugs, Hong Yanwu would die as long as he was exposed to drugs. That's it, so everyone is helpless. Because according to the current law, once Hong Yanwu, who has no relatives and no reason, dies, all property will be transferred to the state, and all their plans will be in vain.

Forged wills or forged contracts?

No, it doesn't.

Although documents and signatures can be forged, after several rounds of external capital injection, Xinjing Group has become a public company. The fundamental purpose of seizing Hong Yanwu's corporate shares is to enable Xinjing Group to raise funds through listing in Hong Kong when the A-share IPO is suspended. The declaration process of H-shares is far more standardized and strict than that in the mainland, which is not only beyond the scope of control of the forces behind Xinjing, but also has to deal with a series of legal procedures such as changes in legal persons, changes in shareholders, debt audits, and industrial and commercial change registrations before filing, and the degree of supervision is not ordinary. If Hong Yanwu refuses to cooperate, it will be completely impossible to achieve Xinjing's listing in Hong Kong.

Thinking of this, Lawyer Wu couldn't help but curse Hong Yanwu in his heart again, the old guy's life was about to die, and he still clinged to the equity, adding too much trouble to them.

But fortunately, he and Mr. Gao finally discussed a new solution. If the old guy refuses to cooperate, he arranges for someone to choose to "marry" the old guy. As long as the marriage formalities are completed, this old thing will be considered to have lived to the end.

The smell inside was so bad that Mr. Wu was very eager to leave as soon as possible. He stopped sighing and was about to wake up Hong Yanwu, but he didn't expect that Hong Yanwu would wake up by himself.

"I'm coming to see you again. Lawyer Wu quickly smiled as if by magic, but his face was still covered by tissues, covering most of his hypocrisy.

Hong Yanwu raised his eyelids slightly, and used a pair of dull eyes to identify his surroundings. He chatted for a long time, panting like a dying old dog. Listening to the sound, it is like being stuck in the throat by phlegm.

In order not to suffocate the old guy, Lawyer Wu had to endure the filth and fishy smell to help Hong Yanwu beat his back. Fortunately, after only two strokes, the phlegm came out, but unexpectedly coughed on his left sleeve.

Lawyer Wu was nauseated for a while, and he was busy wiping it with a tissue. But unintentionally, he found Hong Yanwu snickering.

Hmmm, deliberately, true grandson.

"Barrister, I'm here again? I haven't eaten yet. You...... Tell them to bring food first. As soon as Hong Yanwu said a word, he covered his chest and coughed.

Hmph, I still want to eat? I owe you starvation.

Lawyer Wu, who was still angry, pouted and ignored this stubble at all. When Hong Yanwu's cough got better, he raised the briefcase in his hand. "Let's get down to business. ”

"How could I possibly say yes. Hong Yanwu shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he had exhausted his strength, and lay down again.

"Mr. Gao asked me to tell you that you only have two choices, one is to cooperate well and sign the transfer contract immediately. The other one, congratulations, I'm afraid I'll have to arrange for you to get married again. ”

Lawyer Wu tried to speak as plain as possible, but paid extra attention to Hong Yanwu's expression. He especially wanted to see now whether this old boy could still maintain his stubborn virtue.

Sure enough, Hong Yanwu sat up as if he had been burned by fire, and his eyes widened. "You ...... Looking for an heir?"

"Smart people. "Lawyer Wu is truly impressed. He didn't expect that after being imprisoned for such a long time, the old guy's mind was still clear and sharp.

Hong Yanwu's body was weak, shaking like dizziness, and he almost didn't fall down.

Seeing this scene, Lawyer Wu couldn't mention how happy he was, and he laughed. "I just can't figure it out. People, why do you have to die to save face? Sign it, we will all save trouble......"

"Bastard, who beat Xinjing? I! It's me!"

At this moment, all that Hong Yanwu emanated from the cracks in his bones was hatred. The rage gave him strength, and he sat up again, holding out his fingers and scolding.

"I'll tell you, because of me, Xinjing has never had a headache for nail households! Because of me, the construction contractor didn't dare to make trouble with Xinjing! Because of me, Xinjing didn't have an opponent who dared to come to grab food! Because of me, Xinjing was able to get the target land at the lowest price! I tried all the ways to fight for Xinjing. But you are openly robbing, and this is not fair!"

"Don't get excited, there's never been 'fairness' in the world. ”

Lawyer Wu waved his hand lightly, and Hong Yanwu was stunned with just one sentence.

Then, Lawyer Wu's eyebrows furrowed and he continued to sneer. "Also, make no mistake, you're just the titular boss of Xinjing. You're just too greedy to provoke the above. ”

Hearing this second sentence, the violence in Hong Yanwu's eyes began to fall silent, and something called loneliness emerged.

Seeing this, Lawyer Wu was even happier, and the corners of his mouth appeared with a mocking arc, and he went all out to tear Hong Yanwu's heart.

"People, you are self-aware, don't take yourself too seriously. It's obviously a buddy, but you want to get into trouble, you don't have that life, so you will naturally shoot yourself in the foot. ”

The third sentence is to the point. Hong Yanwu gritted his teeth and trembled, his expression at this time was like he was about to eat people, and his face was gray.

"Well, that's a good point. I've always thought of others as fools, but I'm actually a fool myself. ”

Lawyer Wu was undoubtedly very satisfied with the effect of the heart attack, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

At this point, the psychological confrontation seems to have divided the winner and loser. But suddenly, Hong Yanwu seemed to think of something extremely funny, and began to laugh without warning. Laughed straight to tears, laughed until he coughed, and rolled on the bed laughing.

Exaggerated, loud, crazy.

This sudden change made Lawyer Wu open his mouth wide, and he almost thought that the old guy had gone crazy. He couldn't help but ask. "Laugh at what? ”

Hong Yanwu grinned and shook his head, and the laughter still couldn't stop pouring out, until he coughed again, and then he lay on the bed and gasped and stopped.

"Gao, Gao Ming, this grandson...... will also point out the tricks in the gutter. Let me get married?...... It's really lacking in heart......"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lawyer Wu was not happy. As a loyal dog, it is incumbent upon you to maintain the dignity of your owner.

"Hmph, you're going to show your stuff when you have a wedding. ”

"Not necessarily. All we need is a legal formality, and you won't see your wife at all. ”

"There are too many loopholes for not having a wedding. ”

"A kind private nurse marrying a dying patient doesn't need to be too complicated for a wedding. At most, you will declare that you are holding a ceremony here, and no one will force it. ”

Hong Yanwu's eyes showed a sense of banter. "Who am I? a billionaire marrying an angel in white? a modern-day version of Cinderella? All the media will come up like flies. ”

Lawyer Wu is very disgusted with this kind of look, provocative and arrogant, and arrogant. But the old guy is really right, now billionaires' lace news is even more sought after by the media than celebrities, if the news leaks......

Damn, troublesome, oversight.

Hong Yanwu's eyes were still looking at Lawyer Wu without blinking, and he seemed to be more and more sure.

Lawyer Wu couldn't help but get irritable, and in order not to make Hong Yanwu too proud, he forced himself to squeeze out a smile. "It's nothing, a little bit of technology can solve it. ”

Hong Yanwu's eyes suddenly became sharp, "What about the mysterious death of a billionaire?"

Lawyer Wu blurted out as if he had been pricked by an invisible needle. "You...... Suicide won't ......"

Hong Yanwu's smile was measured. "Death, you will die, but sooner or later, instead of forcing you to death, it is better to have a vigorous and unjust fight. ”

Wu Lu didn't pay attention, and his tone was already anxious. "What do you mean, no one is forcing you to die, and we are not afraid of your death!"

Hong Yanwu narrowed his eyes at this time, and looked hard, as if he was capturing something on Lawyer Wu's face.

Lawyer Wu was still trying to calm down, but his smile gradually stiffened. He naturally knew in his heart that this was the worst-case scenario, if the old thing was to come to the real thing, not only would they make a fuss, but the equity matter would be all smashed.

Hong Yanwu quickly made a judgment, "You are talking nonsense." ”

Lawyer Wu tried to tell the difference, but before he could open his mouth, he heard something that made him even more annoyed.

"My method of suicide is guaranteed to be exciting, and it will happen to be just around the time when you get me married. On the same day as the marriage and death, and the way of death is bizarre, how much force will the media use to publicize it? This news will definitely make headlines. You can also cover it up, and the more you do, the more holes you have. ”

Lawyer Wu's face turned pale. This old guy is so ruthless. The devil's ship is full (pills).

Hong Yanwu smiled evilly and said to himself, "Gossip is human nature, and secrets and insiders are the most enthusiastic. How many media will be following my poor bride every day? How many people's curiosity will you have to deal with? TV, newspapers, WeChat, reposts, can you block all channels? No. Someone will definitely show their stuff in the end. Maybe it's you, maybe it's the unscrupulous doctor, maybe it's the two people who abuse me every day, and then pull out Gao Ming or more. I don't know how the 'master' behind the scenes can get rid of this that can't be wiped off?"

Shake off that 'master'?

Lawyer Wu was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, and his back was damp, cold and sticky.

This old guy is by no means a bluff, it involves the inheritance of the rich, and there is always endless interest. For example, the case of Chinachem is still being discussed, and if this kind of thing really happens, he will almost definitely be "handled" by the guard. It's like...... Lawyer Cai!

Hong Yanwu still seemed to be unsatisfied, and said to himself. "From ancient times to the present, how many people who play people have a good end? Congratulations in advance, you'll all be famous soon. ”

Lawyer Wu is another agitator, like a rat caught by the tail. "You...... What do you want to do?"

Hong Yanwu didn't say anything more, but he grinned and shrivelled out, revealing his broken teeth.

It's the ugliest smile in the world, full of malicious mockery.

Lawyer Wu concealed his disgust, rolled his eyes, and soon showed a cunning look. "You must have a plan in mind, right?"

"Maybe. Hong Yanwu remained silent.

Hey, take the candy too? (Tu language, end the shelf, take the big.) The old guy thinks he's Kong Ming. Knowing astronomy, knowing geography, knowing people, knowing yin and yang, understanding gossip, knowing Qimen, knowing Dunjia, strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, comparing himself to the sage of Zhong Leyi, sitting on his knees, smiling proudly Fengyue, not out of the house, first set three points of the world...... Phew!

Lawyer Wu's lungs were about to explode, and he didn't understand why everything was reversed. Hong Yanwu seems to have become the mastermind behind the scenes, and he himself is pitiful. But when I think about it, it's a matter of life and death and future, no matter how much I hate it, I have to go to the court with a smile.

Frowning, he had to use an honorific, "I'm convinced, you are the master." Please advise. ”

Hong Yanwu glanced at him and finally said something. "Either we're done together, or we're going to discuss. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You want equity, okay, I'll cooperate. But it can only be transferred in batches, and it will leave me five percent of the shares for retirement. ”

Hong Yanwu's tone sounded quite serious, a bit of a twist.

Lawyer Wu's eyes lit up, nodded, and asked Hong Yanwu to continue.

Hong Yanwu thought about it sideways, and pondered for a moment. "My freedom must be restored immediately, and of course, you can continue to send people to 'take care' of me. However, the couple had to get out of here. Also, when I recover, I will choose a country to immigrate. And I will only transfer the last stake before I leave the country. ”

After hearing all the conditions, Mr. Wu was noncommittal. He had been observing Hong Yanwu's expression, and another string tightened in his heart.

"Didn't you always disagree?"

Hong Yanwu was very calm, "Of course I can't bear it, Xinjing is my everything." If you don't agree, you will yin me again and again. I'm scared and tired. If this continues, I won't live for a few days. People are gone, and it's useless to ask for money. ”

Lawyer Wu is considering. The old fellow's words were very realistic, and as soon as he heard them, he knew that he must have thought about these conditions for a long time.

Also, who doesn't want to live? If it were themselves, they would only choose to do so.

"According to what I said, anyone is suitable. Otherwise, the fish will die and the net will be broken. Hong Yanwu deliberately reiterated in an accentuated tone, and there was a kind of enthusiasm in his eyes.

The conditions are reasonable, the reasons are good, and it seems to be true.

Lawyer Wu had already ignited hope, and he asked the man guarding the door to keep an eye on the room, while he walked out of the room and called Mr. Gao for advice. Soon, I got a reply from Mr. Gao.

"First, the equity must be handed over in full, but he will be given a sum of money for retirement. Two, his freedom was limited to that house, and it had to be monitored 24 hours a day. In addition to these two articles, the others can be fully agreed. ”

Mr. Gao is indeed very happy, but Mr. Wu is still a little hesitant.

"Just spare him like that?" can the 'above' agree?"

"But for the sake of equity, let him live a good life for two days first. Either way, he had to die. ”

"After you can, will it ......?"

"It's very easy to kill him, you forget, you will die if you get poisoned. ”

Lawyer Wu was relieved, it turned out to be a delaying tactic. He knew that whoever offended the "heavens" could only be doomed.

On the phone, Mr. Gao continued to encourage Mr. Wu. "It's up to you now, try to get as much equity as you can from him, as much as you can, until he refuses to give it back. ”

"Understood. ”

The matter was so decided, but what Lawyer Wu didn't expect was that before interrupting the call, Mr. Gao actually told him again.

"Be careful to guard against it, Hong Yanwu is the best at making ghosts. After signing the agreement, call me immediately. ”

It was the first time that Lawyer Wu heard the fear from Mr. Gao's tone. He was puzzled by this.

Yes. Not only did he learn more about Hong Yanwu's legendary experiences. After personal contact, I really felt that the old guy was a very smart person. But how powerful can an old coffin who has been lying in bed for half a year and whose body has been mutilated be so powerful? Besides, the equity is about to be in hand, so what are you worried about? If the old guy is really so powerful, he really wants to see it.

However, Mr. Gao's solemn instructions couldn't help but make him not pay attention to it. So although he was suspicious, he still agreed. And in order to reassure Mr. Gao, he also deliberately played a package ticket. "Don't worry too much, I think the old guy is serious. Once a person falls into a well, he must have a life-saving straw, and no matter what the price, he must get his hands on it. I've heard people say that the older you get, the more you're afraid of death. ”

These words really made Mr. Gao feel a little more relaxed. "Makes sense. People, once they have landed, are quite desperate for their lives. ”

At the end of the call, Mr. Wu returned to the room and replied according to Mr. Gao's intentions. Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was also happy and accepted it immediately.

Overjoyed, Mr. Wu immediately took out the documents from his bag and made an agreement for the advance transfer of 10% of the equity. He was expecting to see it soon, and Hong Yanwu pushed the tip of the pen with trembling fingers and signed his name. No matter how twisted and ugly the font was, it would satisfy the expectations of his ill-intentioned lawyer for months.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu didn't look at the contract, pushed the pen, and actually proposed to eat first, and he couldn't discount it at all.

Lawyer Wu was stuck, but he remembered Mr. Gao's instructions again. He nodded, "What else do you want?"

"Help me downstairs, I'm going to suffocate here. ”

"Sign after eating?"

"As soon as the food is served, I sign it. ”

"It's a deal. ”

Lawyer Wu almost smelled the smell of success, and beckoned the man at the door to come in and support Hong Yanwu together. Both of them put Hong Yanwu's arms on their shoulders and lifted him up as if they were carrying a sedan chair.

The person is very light, it doesn't take much effort at all, and he goes out smoothly. But neither lawyer Wu nor the man noticed it, and the moment he got out of the cell, Hong Yanwu's eyes lit up. Thief Bright!
