"Fine! I'll give it to you!" Ding Sanshi clenched his teeth as he spoke, as Zhang Menglong's actions would put not just Music Forest at risk, but potentially bring down the entire Wangyi Group. Wangyi was his life's work, and if it truly became the largest foot bath center in all of Asia, he, Ding Sanshi, might well end up as a historical figure noted in history textbooks, albeit for an ignominious reason. "I'll give you the remaining shares of Music Forest, and shares worth 25 billion US Dollars from Wangyi Group's other public companies. Are you satisfied now?" For Ding Sanshi, this money was like flesh being forcibly carved from his body. "Satisfied? Why should I be satisfied? It's not me you are compensating!" Zhang Menglong stated emphatically. "I'm merely seeking justice for the victims on behalf of my family. It's as if this money is meant for me." "Zhang Menglong, there's no need for pretense at this moment. You're clearly after our Wangyi shares, aren't you?" Ding Sanshi said. "Would I care about the small amount of shares from a company like yours?" Zhang Menglong sneered. "If even a dime of that money lands in my pocket, I'll eat the Wangyi Building on the spot!" Ding Sanshi's face alternated between shades of green and red, as Zhang Menglong's remark was clearly a jab at his previous deceitful behavior. "Moreover, 25 billion in equivalent shares is not enough!" "Zhang Menglong, don't you cross the line!" Ding Sanshi's tone also became more forceful. "Am I crossing the line? Where have I crossed the line?" Zhang Menglong laughed. "Do you think your Wangyi's 47% share is worth 25 billion US Dollars? Go ask around and see if anyone would buy those shares for 25 billion, think everyone is a fool?" "You..." Ding Sanshi was about to explode, but Zhang Menglong was not wrong. Music Forest was currently in dire straits—with little more than a building, a user-depleted app, and some contracts nearing expiration—it had almost nothing left. Not to mention 25 billion, even 10 billion wouldn't find a buyer, as long as Music Forest stood, Wangyi Music had no hope of turning around. And now, Zhang Menglong had even converted Music Forest into a foot washing city, and decoration workers had already begun demolishing walls that afternoon. Could foot washing turn things around? Even if you washed a thousand dirty feet of the national soccer team, you couldn't dream of returning Music Forest to its peak. "So what do you suggest?" "Your relatives bought those shares for 1 billion US Dollars, a discount of about 2.5%. I won't cheat you, let's value the rest at 8 billion Huaxia yuan. Just gather another 42 billion, and we can settle this." "Impossible!" Ding Sanshi said without even thinking, as truly parting with these shares valued at 42 billion would mean losing significant control over Wangyi Group, and even his own net worth would halve! "President Ding, it seems I forgot to take account of my own interests," Zhang Menglong suddenly laughed, "This 50 billion, it's just for that young girl. If I were to seek some justice for myself, it would be more than just 50 billion." "President Ding, considering your age, why not retire early? You could still cash out your shares in Wangyi, travel the world. Why bother with all this trouble? Moreover, your good-for-nothing son is virtually a train wreck. Why not take this experience and start afresh with something else?" "Mr. Yuan, attorney, could you please check these agreements?" Zhang Menglong said to the middle-aged man beside him. The attorney, Mr. Yuan, picked up the equity transfer agreements and carefully reviewed them. "Mr. Zhang, there are no issues at all. All Miss Xia needs to do is show the relevant documents and then sign the transfer agreements, and after notarization, it will be done," "That would be great, thanks," Zhang Menglong said as he moved to sit on a couch, completely unconcerned about the share transaction. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this place has a pretty nice view!" Zhang Menglong commented while looking at the scenery outside, "If this were turned into a foot spa, the business would be booming!" "Pfft!" Ding Sanshi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Can you stop talking about the foot spa? Ever since Music Forest was rebranded as Wangyi Foot Path by Zhang Menglong, Ding Sanshi had developed a phobia of foot spas. "Mr. Zhang, it's all done; Miss Xia is now a shareholder of Wangyi Group," Mr. Yuan, the attorney, announced. "Thanks for the hard work," Zhang Menglong said, "All right, it's all signed; let's head back." "Zhang Menglong!" Ding Sanshi suddenly called out to him. "President Ding, is there anything else?" Zhang Menglong asked with a smile. "These shares, you're really not tempted at all?" Ding Sanshi still found it hard to believe. These were shares worth 50 billion RMB, "You won't transfer the shares to yourself after leaving here, will you?" "Excuse me, I need to take this call," Zhang Menglong's cell phone suddenly rang. "Mr. Zhang, I've arranged the large particle collider you ordered, but the model has recently been upgraded, and with the research and build materials, the price will rise a bit, so our deposit might not cover it." "Oh, I remember last time it was around 25 billion, right?" Ding Sanshi shuddered. Zhang Menglong hadn't put it on speaker, but the other side's voice was loud, and he could clearly hear the conversation. He spent 25 billion on a particle collider? "Yes, Mr. Zhang, the price will increase by about 3 billion." "No problem, just go ahead and wire the money," Zhang Menglong said, visibly thrilled that he got to spend an extra 3 billion! Zhang Menglong hung up the phone. "Sorry, President Ding, what were you asking me?" "It's... it's nothing," Ding Sanshi seemed to finally understand that Zhang Menglong truly had no interest in money. Spending an extra 3 billion, and he was still laughing! Unabashedly laughing!
