Chapter 81 The three families are very different
Lu Chengwen turned back and glared at Jiang Shihan, who quickly suppressed her laughter.
"In any case!" Chen Qingbin slammed the table. "My daughter, Chen Mengyun, will not marry you. Give up on this idea, and don't cause trouble for both families in the future!"
Lu Chengwen forced a smile, "Okay, I understand. Actually, I came here today to..."
"I don't care what you're here for. You need to understand yourself and your family. Don't think that just because our old man favors you, you have a smooth path ahead. I don't need to tell you what kind of person you are."
"Uncle Chen, I'm here today to discuss business with you..."
"Our families' businesses rarely intersect, mostly just insignificant small contracts. You can send your people to talk to Mengyun's people about those. We should avoid meeting each other."
"Instead of wasting time berating me, could you take a few minutes to look at this..."
"My time is precious, I have a lot..."
"Are you freaking done!?"
Lu Chengwen suddenly roared, "That day, when I saw you and Auntie in the living room with Mengyun, you weren't like this!?"
Chen Qingbin looked shocked, "What did you say!? Did you just swear at me?"
"Yes, are your ears stuffed with chicken feathers?"
Chen Qingbin trembled with anger, "That day was because I wanted to maintain the image of a family man, a hands-off manager, and a kind person in front of my daughter and wife! It doesn't mean I approve of you!"
Lu Chengwen said, "Take a good look at this contract. I'm offering your family a guaranteed investment of 12 billion, it has nothing to do with your daughter! I have no interest in your daughter! Not even a little bit!"
Chen Qingbin became anxious, "You... you dare..."
"Of course I dare!" Lu Chengwen said, "I am the esteemed young master of the Lu family. The Lu family's assets are now much greater than yours. I've been here for several minutes just listening to your nonsense, and you haven't even offered me a cup of tea. Who else should I yell at!?"
"Hey!"
"Hey, what hey!" Lu Chengwen retorted, "Offering you a good contract with good intentions, and you think our Lu family can't manage without your Chen family? Aristocrats, aristocrats, can aristocratic titles be eaten? Were your ancestors born rich? You're just a caretaker, my father built everything from scratch, he's the founding emperor, what makes you so arrogant?"
"I..."
"You better reread the Four Books and Five Classics and write a 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust' scroll and hang it in your living room. I'll leave the contract here, sign it or not, it's your choice! Zhao Gang, Shihan, let's go!"
"Hey, you..."
Just as Lu Chengwen was about to leave, he turned around again, "Let me tell you, Chen Ergouzi! If it weren't for my past relationship with your daughter and my friendship with your son, I would tear up this contract and not even give it to you! It's your business how precious your daughter is, I have no interest in her. Watch her closely, don't let her follow me around all day. If you push me too far, I'll get her pregnant and send her back, and then we'll see how you handle it!"
Chen Qingbin was dumbfounded.
He had never seen such a rude, violent, disrespectful, and fiery Lu Chengwen in his entire life.
Lu Chengwen poked Chen Qingbin's forehead fiercely with a finger, "Open your damn eyes in the future!"
Lu Chengwen and the others swaggered away.
Chen Qingbin himself was stunned for a long time.
The butler leaned closer, "Master, this... this boy is too rude."
Chen Qingbin nodded, "Hey, don't say that, this boy has some kind of aura, doesn't he?"
The butler thought to himself, I don't know if he has an aura, but you, Master, are a bit of a masochist.
...
Leng Tianhao was on the verge of collapse.
Long Aotian did a good job, and so did Leng Qingqiu.
But!
The Leng family's capital chain was already broken!
Not "going to be" but "already" broken.
Now, if Long Aotian were to take over, he wouldn't have the money to do anything; Leng Qingqiu had the money, but for her to stay in power, they would have to sign a new contract that would keep her in the position for at least five years!
The Lu family's Lu Chengwen had swept hundreds of billions in the stock market with one project, already breaking even, but his own family had invested forty-nine billion!
A whole forty-nine billion!
It seemed like it was all going down the drain.
Now everyone was saying that Lu Chengwen played this game ruthlessly.
Even if the slum project lost money, he couldn't possibly lose all five hundred billion, right? But the hundreds of billions he earned in the stock market would at least break even!
Based on this situation, the other resources Lu Chengwen obtained were simply too many!
In the next few years, the Lu family would become the government's key supported enterprise, and all good things would be related to the Lu family, It was even possible that the Lu family would be behind the manipulation.
manipulator of the Lu family was Lu Chengwen, who seemed to only know how to calculate carefully and make small profits by tricking people.
The situation behind the scenes was...
The Lu family used this one project to tie up more than three hundred billion of liquid funds from the Xu and Chen families with hundreds of billions of cash, a whole three hundred billion, which was equivalent to grabbing these two families by the legs and preventing them from running forward.
At the same time, they could use this project to drag down the Leng family. The Leng family wasn't a thigh anymore, the current Leng family was tied up by Lu Chengwen and pushed into the incinerator.
The Lu family, on the other hand, was winning battle after battle on another battlefield. In the next few years, the competitiveness and competitive capital of the Chen and Xu families would be limited, and the Leng family would be the Lu family's first piece of fat meat, ready to be devoured in one bite.
What made Leng Tianhao even more devastated was that the land he had been longing for was also gone.
Yes, he had negotiated with several banks and finally managed to get another 2 billion loan to try to get that land, but the comrades from the Land Bureau told him that the land had already been given away.
Given away!?
You gave away land worth ten or twenty billion!?
When he asked who it was given to, they wouldn't say, they wouldn't tell him.
But the Leng family wasn't a pushover either, they had some connections. After some inquiries, it turned out, as expected, to be Lu Chengwen.
Leng Tianhao felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
Thinking back to the scenes, he suddenly felt that Lu Chengwen was terrifying.
He felt dizzy, his mind replaying the events of the past few days:
Lu Chengwen's unusual behavior at the engagement party; Long Aotian's appearance and Lu Chengwen's refusal to marry; when he said he liked that piece of land, Lu Chengwen said he wasn't interested in the land or the amusement park project...
And how he seemingly helped Leng Qingqiu, but actually led her into the pit of the slum project;
Secretly acquiring that land himself, without bloodshed, without spending a penny...
Lu Chengwen had won big.
And the Leng family's originally planned turnaround investment project was completely shattered and dragged down. The entire Qianfeng Group had quietly fallen into the dead end that Lu Chengwen had set up in advance. In less than half a year... the Leng family would completely collapse and become one of Lu Chengwen's subsidiaries...
Thinking back to his words of contempt for him before, Leng Tianhao felt ridiculous.
Lu Chengwen's seemingly disinterested appearance at that time was probably laughing at the stupidity in his heart.
Who would have thought that an old fox who had played with eagles all his life would be beaten by a young man in his early twenties with tactics and strategies?
He was about to... die without a burial place.
At this moment, someone announced, "Young Master Lu Chengwen, the eldest son of the Lu family, requests an audience."
Leng Tianhao's face darkened, "Let him in."
He thought to himself:
I have to stabilize him, I have to find a way to make him let the Leng family go.
But it doesn't make sense! He already has the upper hand, there's no reason for him not to kill us all, right?
Leng Qingqiu! Yes! He likes Qingqiu! I'll give Qingqiu to him, without a penny, as long as he lets the Leng family go, how about that?
I'm really stupid! If he swallows your family, wouldn't Leng Qingqiu still have to obediently accompany him? Why would he let you go?
Besides, if we analyze the situation according to this, his approach to Leng Qingqiu was part of the plan. Leng Qingqiu's position in his heart may not be that important!
What to do!?
What to do, what to do, what to do!?
Lu Chengwen was almost furious.
These old guys, one more cunning than the last, one more pretentious than the last!
You've all handed over your power, so why are you still putting on airs?
Aren't you full and bored?
Did I give you money and create trouble for myself?
One by one, they wouldn't feel comfortable without being scolded! Especially Leng Tianhao, the worst of them all, probably the one with the worst attitude among the three old men!
Damn it, if he dares to show off to me, I'll him to death! I won't give him a single cent of guarantee!
The door opened, and Lu Chengwen walked in with a strong wind at his feet.
"Oh, Chengwen is here, this is..."
"Shut up!"
Lu Chengwen's eyes were red, he walked up to the table and slapped a contract on it, "Look carefully! Say one more word and I'll kill you!"
"Oh, oh, oh."
Leng Tianhao started looking at the contract.
Lu Chengwen panted heavily, "Don't miss a word, don't talk nonsense, I'm in a particularly bad mood today."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take a look first."
After reading it, Leng Tianhao was a little confused, he looked up at Lu Chengwen, "Chengwen... what... what does this mean?"
"Don't worry about what I mean, just tell me, this contract, do you sign it or not?"
Leng Tianhao bit his lip, completely confused by Lu Chengwen.
"This... this contract seems... it only benefits us, I..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have time to waste with you guys, just tell me clearly, sign it! Or not! If you say no, I'll turn around and leave, and we'll see each other again in the future! If you want to sign it, then hurry up and sign your name, and let your daughter stamp it later!"
Leng Tianhao felt very wronged.
He thought to himself:
See? A burst drum gets beaten by everyone.
They succeeded in their plan and put us in a position where we had no say, so they could speak with such confidence.
Leng Tianhao looked at it again and again, then looked at Lu Chengwen, "There's no trap in this contract, I... I can sign it."
Lu Chengwen said to Jiang Shihan, "Give him the pen."
Seeing Leng Tianhao obediently sign his name, the anger in Lu Chengwen's heart subsided a little, "It's good that you know what's good for you."
Leng Tianhao smiled and said, "Chengwen, about what happened before, it was my fault, please don't mind."
Lu Chengwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Oh, I... I also had a bad attitude just now, Uncle Leng, please don't mind. I... well, to be honest with you, I've been to three houses. With this kind of contract, if someone brought it to me to sign, I would kneel and kowtow to him. Those two old guys were so arrogant, they started lecturing me before even looking at the contract, I was pissed off."
"The Chen family and the Xu family also signed?"
"Yes."
Lu Chengwen said, "Is there any water? I'm dying of thirst."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Leng Tianhao hurriedly asked someone to bring mineral water.
Lu Chengwen took a sip, "That Xu Zhiyun, my god! He was dead set on the idea that I had taken a fancy to his daughter, he thought I was going to use 20 billion to buy his daughter! Even if his daughter was made of gold, she wouldn't be worth 20 billion!"
"Oh, right, right."
"Chen Qingbin is even more infuriating! He started lecturing me as soon as I entered the door, even insulting my father, and saying that our family is nouveau riche! Damn it, he forced me to become nouveau riche!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Lu Chengwen nodded, "You're still the calm one."
Leng Tianhao sighed, "Chengwen, you're a good kid, you've had a kind heart since you were young."
Lu Chengwen slapped the chair and said to Jiang Shihan, "He moved me! Really! My heart is so warm!"
Leng Tianhao said, "It's just... you're so powerful this time, can you... can the Leng family... survive?"
Lu Chengwen was stunned, "Whether you live or die is your business, why are you asking me? Can I control it? I just want to manage myself now, manage our Dasheng Group, the life and death of your three families has nothing to do with me! After signing this contract, we'll follow the contract in the future, and no one owes anyone anything!"
Leng Tianhao said sadly, "Please, Uncle begs you, leave a way out for the Leng family!"
Lu Chengwen's expression was like he had eaten shit:
"What are you talking about?"
