Chapter 1815: Chen Zhiye’s Masterstroke

“I thought you didn’t want to talk about the merger and acquisition? Didn’t you want me to leave?” After Chen Zhiye listened to Guo Jianchao’s words, he was finally able to raise his eyebrows and exhale. his previous cautious attitude suddenly changed into a bossy and domineering one, “Hmph, what’s up? You can’t hold on anymore? You finally agreed? I said earlier, sooner or later you will come to us to discuss the acquisition!”

“Mr. Chen, I’m just repeating Brother Yang’s words. If you are going to keep this attitude, please leave.” Guo Jianchao looked indifferently at the clownish Chen Zhiye. He snorted disdainfully at Chen Zhiye’s rapid change in attitude.

“Attitude? What’s wrong with my attitude? I have this attitude!” Chen Zhiye didn’t care about Guo Jianchao’s words as he had gotten a positive reply from Yang Ming. After all, Guo Jianchao wasn’t the decision-maker and he couldn’t go against Yang Ming’s decision. So, Guo Jianchao could only accept whatever mockery and sarcasm Chen Zhiye gave him. He was helpless.

“Mr. Chen, mergers and acquisitions are a cooperation, not a unilateral decision. If you insist on keeping this attitude, it’s impossible for us to negotiate even if Brother Yang comes in person,” Guo Jianchao warned plainly as he couldn’t stand Chen Zhiye’s attitude.

“Ha, what a joke. Can you decide on Yang Ming’s behalf? Your boss has agreed to the merger. What power do you have?” Chen Zhiye sneered and stood up, “Come early tomorrow morning to the conference room of the Douglas Vast Hotel, at nine o’clock sharp. We’ll wait for you to come on time. Being late is unacceptable!”

Chen Zhiye walked out of the conference room after speaking, leaving Guo Jianchao with a view of his retreating figure. Guo Jianchao was irritated by Chen Zhiye. He thought, I have to desperately recommend Yang Ming not to sell the hotel. Chen Zhiye is simply too much of a bully!

I have followed Yang Ming for so long. Yang Ming should be able to give me some face, right?

Guo Jianchao decided to give it a try. He wouldn’t regret it anyway, so he called Yang Ming.

“Brother Yang, Chen Zhiye has left,” said Guo Jianchao.

“Oh? What did he say?” asked Yang Ming.

“Chen Zhiye is a bit too arrogant. His words were unpleasant to hear!” Thinking of Chen Zhiye, Guo Jianchao was annoyed for a while, “Brother Yang, can I say something? Can we not sell our hotel?”

“Sell? Who said it would be sold?” Yang Ming could not help asking. He heard the emotion in Guo Jianchao’s words and despite finding it somewhat funny, he was also a little moved.

“Ah? Brother Yang, didn’t you say that you agreed to discuss the merger and acquisition with the Douglas Vast Hotel?” Guo Jianchao was stunned. Did Yang Ming change his mind? That is a good thing.

“Yeah, I agreed to negotiate a merger and acquisition, but I never said I wanted to sell the hotel.” Yang Ming was dumbfounded. Obviously, Guo Jianchao had misunderstood his meaning.

“But isn’t the merger and acquisition the same as selling the hotel?” Guo Jianchao asked in confusion.

“Of course it’s not the same thing!” Yang Ming explained with a smile, “It has not been confirmed who is acquiring who. Why must it be us that are selling to them?”

“Ah!” Guo Jianchao was stunned, but then was pleasantly surprised as he said, “Brother Yang, you mean… you want to acquire them?”

Although Guo Jianchao couldn’t believe that he had heard it correctly, Yang Ming’s words should be correct. Guo Jianchao asked again tentatively.

“I meant this all along,” Yang Ming said, “This hotel is very meaningful to me. How can I sell it?”

“Haha!” Guo Jianchao finally laughed after hearing Yang Ming’s words, and his foul mood over these recent days immediately changed, “I said that Brother Yang couldn’t sell the hotel. It is actually true! Hahahaha, this is great!”

“Don’t disclose this news,” Yang Ming instructed with a smile.

“I understand, Brother Yang. Rest assured, I won’t say anything. We’ll surprise them tomorrow! Hahaha!” Guo Jianchao said excitedly.

“Tomorrow? They set the date to negotiate the acquisition for tomorrow?” asked Yang Ming.

“By the way, I almost forgot to say it. I called this time to talk about this!” Guo Jianchao said quickly, “Chen Zhiye said that the negotiation for the merger and acquisition will take place tomorrow morning at nine o’clock in the conference room of the Douglas Vast Hotel. It has to start on time. Being late is unacceptable.”

“Hehe, then let’s go at ten and let them wait,” Yang Ming smiled and said indifferently.

“That’s what I thought before! Brother Yang, it’s good that you said this. We’ll let them wait!” Guo Jianchao said forthrightly.

“I will look for you at the International Hotel tomorrow, and we will go together,” said Yang Ming.

“Okay, Brother Yang, see you tomorrow.” Guo Jianchao hung up the phone happily.

“En,” Yang Ming hung up the phone. He found it a little funny. It seems that Guo Jianchao has far more affection for the Song Jiang International Hotel than me. He is even more unwilling to sell the hotel.

Chen Zhiye originally came with a mindset of just giving it a try. When he went back, he was very enthusiastic. Yang Ming promised to discuss the merger and acquisition. Obviously, his business can’t hold on any longer.

Chen Zhiye walked cockily. How should I humiliate Yang Ming tomorrow? Haha, I can’t let him go so easily anyway, absolutely not! Chen Zhiye thought, Tomorrow, I must ask for a very low price. When Yang Ming pleads for a higher price, I can take the opportunity to propose the condition for him to break up with Chen Mengyan!

If he does not agree, I will not buy his hotel. Let him wait for death! If I don’t acquire the Song Jiang International Hotel like this, other forces and enterprises most probably would not be able to acquire it.

After all, no one wants to get involved with this messy issue and oppose the Douglas Vast Hotel! At that time, whoever bought the hotel would end up being forced into despair like the current Song Jiang International Hotel. Hence, Chen Zhiye believed that no one would buy the Song Jiang International Hotel except for him and Caique. Yang Ming could only act according to Chen Zhiye’s face.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiye became happier and happier. He immediately called Chen Xiaolong.

“Dad? Is there anything?” Chen Xiaolong was currently having a threesome with two young ladies in a high-end suite of the Douglas Vast Hotel, so he sounded a little impatient.

“Xiao Long, are you busy? Then we’ll talk when I return,” Chen Zhiye said when he heard Chen Xiaolong’s impatience.

“Oh, that can work. What is it?” Chen Xiaolong asked casually.

“It’s about buying that kid, Yang Ming’s, hotel,” Chen Zhiye said, “We’ll talk about it when I go back. You go ahead and do your thing first.”

“Wait, Dad. I’m not busy now!” Chen Xiaolong pushed away a young lady under him, then stood up excitedly and walked to the window, “Dad, let’s talk now. I’m listening!”

“Hehe, alright. Then I’ll talk to you now.” Chen Zhiye also knew that Chen Xiaolong cared about this more than him, so he said, “I just went to the Song Jiang International Hotel again and talked about the merger and acquisition.”

“Oh, what did Yang Ming say?” Chen Xiaolong said anxiously.

“That kid, Yang Ming, finally couldn’t hold on anymore. Haha, he agreed to discuss the merger and acquisition with us tomorrow.” Chen Zhiye laughed, “Tomorrow, you can see his poor appearance. Hahaha!”

“Really? That’s just great!” Chen Xiaolong laughed out loud when he heard what his father said, “Hahahaha, it’s great that Yang Ming faces this consequence! I want to go tomorrow too. I want to see his frail look!”

“Of course that’s fine, but you can’t show up. You should hide,” Chen Zhiye said. “After all, it is a formal business negotiation. Your Uncle Caique will also be there. It will be inconvenient to talk if you are there.”

“Ok, then. I’ll hide and watch!” Chen Xiaolong didn’t care where he was positioned as long as he could watch Yang Ming suffer, “Right, Dad, about Chen Mengyan…”

“Relax, son!” Chen Zhiye laughed, “How could your dad forget about this? I have already planned for you! When we negotiate the merger and acquisition tomorrow, I will try to keep the price as low as possible. If Yang Ming wants to raise the price, well, all he has to do is to give Chen Mengyan up. Otherwise, he will get nothing!”

“Dad, this trick is so clever. Yang Ming will definitely give in!” Chen Xiaolong exclaimed happily, “This time, Yang Ming is dead. Chen Mengyan is going to be my woman! Hahahaha!”

“Hmph! That kid, Yang Ming, dares to steal my son’s woman. This time, I’ll let him know how powerful Chen Zhiye is!” Chen Zhiye said fiercely.

Chapter 1816: In a Traffic Jam

Yang Ming naturally didn’t know that Chen Zhiye and his son had conspired over the phone to fabricate tomorrow’s “miserable” fate. He arrived at the Song Jiang International Hotel the next morning.

Bao Sanli and Guo Jianchao were already waiting there. Yang Ming nodded to them, and sat directly on the master seat.

“Brother Yang, do I need to show up later?” Bao Sanli asked after Yang Ming sat down.

“You don’t need to go,” Yang Ming waved. “It’s enough for me and Guo Jianchao to go. It’s no big deal.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait here. If there is anything, call me at any time,” Bao Sanli nodded and said.

“Brother Yang, when should we leave?” Guo Jianchao looked at the time and asked, “The agreed time is nine in the morning. It is now forty minutes past eight…”

“Didn’t I say yesterday? We’ll only leave at ten o’clock. Let them wait a little longer,” Yang Ming shrugged. “Baozi, go and turn on the TV. We will watch TV for a while.”

“Okay, Brother Yang!” Bao Sanli stood up and turned on the TV. He then gave the remote to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming flipped through several channels until he landed on an idol drama channel. This was an idol drama that was based on Fisherman II’s novel. Shu Ya was the female lead, playing the part of the campus belle.

Bao Sanli and Guo Jianchao didn’t know Shu Ya’s true identity. They were puzzled seeing Yang Mign enjoy this kind of idol drama. Is Yang Ming a fan of Shu Ya?

“Brother Yang, do you like Shu Ya?” Guo Jianchao couldn’t help asking. Because whenever Shu Ya appeared on screen, Yang Ming’s gaze never left her. Yang Ming only diverted his gaze whenever someone else was in the picture.

“En.” Yang Ming didn’t deny and nodded.

“Go after her! Brother Yang, you are worthy of her with your current identity! Although she is an Asian queen, you are not too shabby either, Brother Yang!” said Guo Jianchao.

“Oh, I went after her,” Yang Ming smiled.

“Ah?” Guo Jianchao was stunned. He asked, “Did you get her?”

“I got her,” Yang Ming nodded.

“Wow! No way!” Guo Jianchao was surprised. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to successfully pursue a huge celebrity like Su Ya. “Brother Yang, when did you get her?”

“Last time when she came to Song Jiang,” said Yang Ming.

“Ah, so it’s like this!” Guo Jianchao remembered that when Shu Ya came to Song Jiang for a concert, she did stay in the Song Jiang International Hotel. Is that the time when she and Yang Ming got into a relationship?

Thinking of this, Guo Jianchao had to sigh. Brother Yang is really awesome!

“This movie is good. Baozi, help me buy a collection of the show,” Yang Ming said while pointing to the TV.

“Ok, I’ll ask someone to buy it in a while.” This was also the first time Bao Sanli heard that the big celebrity, Shu Ya, was Yang Ming’s girlfriend. However, he had followed Yang Ming for a long time. He wouldn’t simply talk, so he was not as shocked as Guo Jianchao.

Chen Zhiye got up early in the morning and began to prepare with Caique for the merger and acquisition negotiation. Caique also knew that Chen Zhiye wanted to use the negotiation to fight against Yang Ming, so he allowed Chen Zhiye to take the lead in this matter. Caique’s ultimate goal was to acquire the Song Jiang International Hotel. He didn’t really care about the process.

At eight forty-five in the morning, everything was ready. Chen Zhiye and Caique went to the conference room and waited for the people from the Song Jiang International Hotel to arrive. Generally, when acquiring another company, the acquiring party should go to the other party for the negotiation to show their sincerity. How could someone wait for the other party to come to the company? This attitude was a bit too disdainful!

However, Chen Zhiye was waiting for the other party at the Douglas Vast Hotel in order to show such a disdainful attitude. He just wanted to be aloof to ridicule Yang Ming.

Chen Zhiye’s son Chen Xiaolong had already dressed up as a waiter and had hidden in a corner. He would pretend to serve tea in a while. Caique was sitting in the master seat, with Chen Zhiye sitting beside him.

Chen Zhiye looked at his watch. It was eight fifty-five. There were only five minutes left until Yang Ming arrived.

Chen Zhiye cleared his throat as he assumed an arrogant posture. He crossed his legs and waited like an arrogant host for Yang Ming to arrive.

Is this Yang Ming coming on time? Can’t he come a little early? Chen Zhiye frowned and silently criticized.

Time passed by minute by minute. But despite five minutes passing by, no one had entered the conference room. No one downstairs had informed him that Yang Ming had arrived either.

“What’s going on? Isn’t it supposed to be at nine o’clock? Why hasn’t anyone come?” Caique looked at the time and asked Chen Zhiye.

“Yes, we agreed to nine o’clock yesterday. Could the other party have changed their mind?” Thinking of this, Chen Zhiye suddenly burst into a cold sweat. Was I played by Yang Ming? This boy is deliberately swaying me, but has no intention of coming over?

It shouldn’t be! Judging from the current operating status of the Song Jiang International Hotel, it can only wait for bankruptcy and demise if it is not acquired. The daily cost of the hotel industry is astonishing. If you don’t make money, you are losing money. Can Yang Ming survive? Is he really willing to go into huge debt just to save face?

“You call and ask to see where the other party is,” Caique commanded Chen Zhiye. He naturally knew the enmity between Chen Zhiye and Yang Ming.

“Ok…” Although Chen Zhiye did not want to take the initiative to contact Yang Ming, he could not go against Caique’s command.

Chen Zhiye took out his mobile phone and dialed Guo Jianchao.

“Brother Yang, I got a call from Chen Zhiye!” Guo Jianchao said to Yang Ming after he had taken a look at the caller ID on his phone when it rang.

“Oh, pick it up. Tell him we are on the way, but are stuck in a traffic jam,” Yang Ming said plainly.

“Ok,” Guo Jianchao answered the phone and said, “What is it, President Chen?”

“It’s me. President Guo, where are you? Why haven’t you arrived yet? Didn’t we agree to discuss the merger and acquisition in the Douglas Vast Hotel’s conference room at nine o’clock sharp this morning?” Chen Zhiye asked with a frown.

“It’s like this, President Chen. We left a long time ago, but there is a traffic jam. You should know that it is commuting hours now.” Guo Jianchao thought, You set it at nine o’clock, not Brother Yang. Should it be set at nine o’clock just because you said so? Brother Yang said ten o’clock! You should just wait.

“Ah? Traffic jam?” Chen Zhiye was stunned, and he silently cursed. There is only one way from the Song Jiang International Hotel to the Douglas Vast Hotel. The two hotels are within viewing distance of each other. How can there be a traffic jam?

Chen Zhiye walked up to the window and looked out of it to the scene below. He saw that several cars drove in an orderly manner on the street. There was no traffic jam at all.

“Yes, it’s been jammed for more than half an hour. The car in front of us hasn’t moved yet!” Guo Jianchao held back his laughter and said seriously.

“This… well, then you guys should come as soon as possible!” Chen Zhiye listened to the seriousness in Guo Jianchao’s tone and thought, Could it be that they did not embark from the Song Jiang International Hotel, but another place?

Chen Zhiye felt that this was possible when he remembered that Yang Ming did not usually stay at the Song Jiang International Hotel. It was very likely that Guo Jianchao had picked up Yang Ming earlier, and then rushed with him towards the Douglas Vast Hotel.

Yang Ming was the man who could make the decision. It would be useless if Guo Jianchao came by himself. Chen Zhiye felt better once he thought of this. He hung up the phone and said to Caique, “Boss, they were on the way when they encountered a traffic jam, so… ”

“Oh, a traffic jam. Then we’ll wait a little longer,” Caique didn’t think much and nodded.

Alas, Chen Zhiye and Caique sat in the conference room and waited.

Some of the arrogant expressions and actions that Chen Zhiye had prepared disappeared in this long wait. They waited for over half an hour, but Yang Ming and Guo Jianchao still hadn’t arrived.
