Chapter 844: Unable to Struggle
"Then let's talk about the terms." Li Zihong went straight to the point.
"How can we make the Li family stop?" Huo Yongnian asked tentatively.
"A fight between you and me will only hurt both of us in the end. Why should we make everyone unhappy because of a young man?"
Li Zihong pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Qi does have great potential."
Huo Yongnian smiled faintly when he heard this. He certainly understood the meaning behind this sentence - it was nothing more than increasing the bargaining chips.
This means there is still room for negotiation between the two parties.
"Having potential doesn't mean it can bring actual benefits. Now that you, Mr. Li, have acquired a portion of the shares of our family business, once this business war breaks out, both sides will suffer considerable losses.
Does Mr. Li think that the so-called "potential" can make up for these losses?
Not to mention, how can you guarantee that you will win this war? If it really comes to a dead end, it will be difficult to clean up. "
After a moment of silence, Li Zihong asked, "What does Mr. Huo want me to do?"
"I think the Li family may have been misled to intervene. Since it is a misunderstanding, it can be resolved."
Huo Yongnian explained: "I can buy back those shares at the price the Li family bought them at on the stock market, and I hope that Mr. Li can cancel all support for Zhou Qi."
"Of course, we can further negotiate on the conditions," Huo Yongnian added.
After hearing this, Li Zihong laughed and said, "Boss Huo, you want me to do something unkind and unjust."
"We all know that businessmen pursue profits. Through this cooperation, I hope that the Huo family and the Li family can join forces. This will create much more benefits than cooperating with a young man from the mainland."
Huo Yongnian continued to persuade him, "It's really not worth it for such a young man. After all, we are from the same roots in Hong Kong City. It's not appropriate to help outsiders fight against our own people."
Li Zihong responded with a smile: "Mr. Huo is right, but what are the specific terms of cooperation and profit distribution?"
Huo Yongnian was both happy and angry - happy that Li Zihong seemed willing to reconcile, but angry because he had a feeling that Li Zihong might make very high demands.
"That depends on how far you can go, Mr. Li. Why don't we find a place to meet and discuss it in detail?" Huo Yongnian suggested.
"I have a meeting later."
Li Zihong declined, saying, "I will find another time to go to Mr. Huo's company and we can discuss it in detail then."
Seeing Huo Yongnian hang up the phone, Huo Xuesheng hurriedly asked: "Dad, what's the situation? Did Li Zihong compromise?"
Huo Yongnian gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "The Li family still has some concerns. They know what the consequences will be if a business war is triggered."
"As long as we are willing to give up some of our interests, there is no reason for him to refuse."
Hearing this, Huo Xuesheng was delighted and said, "So the Li family won't protect Zhou Qi anymore. Without the support of the Li family, Zhou Qi is nothing."
"We must not let that guy from the mainland go this time."
Huo Xuesheng continued, "He actually dared to use the Li family to deal with us. This is a huge threat. If we don't get rid of him completely, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles. We must not be lenient."
Huo Yongnian nodded in agreement, but he knew in his heart that he must not let Li Zihong get any further.
It was decided to invite him to the company for detailed discussions and to call all shareholders to participate.
This will not only put pressure on Li Zihong, but also demonstrate the Huo family's determination to unite and avoid a business war;
At the same time, it can also allow family members to see hope of solving problems and enhance internal cohesion.
After thinking this through, the situation seemed to become much clearer. As for Zhou Qi, without the support of the Li family, he was like an ant. This time, he must be completely defeated no matter what.
Huo Yongnian began to plan his next move in his mind.
At the same time, in the Li family villa, Li Jiaxin hung up the phone and told Zhou Qi:
“After Huo Yongwei left the restaurant, he went straight to Huo Yongnian. Later, other members of the Huo family also arrived one after another. They must have held an emergency meeting.
Afterwards, Huo Yongwei and others went to the tea room to meet again. Although it is not clear what they talked about specifically, judging from their expressions, things were not optimistic. "
Zhou Qi smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the Huo family has no way out."
Li Jiaxin added: "It is said that Huo Yongnian tried to contact several banks to raise funds, but the banks did not give clear support."
"It would be strange if the bank could help the Huo family."
Zhou Qi responded with a smile, then pointed upstairs and said, "I have help."
"Who is it?" Li Jiaxin asked curiously.
"Old man." Zhou Qi smiled mysteriously.
This surprised Li Jiaxin, because Mr. Li usually didn't care much about the family business. She didn't expect Zhou Qi to ask him to help.
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "It's not that I asked the senior for help, but he had anticipated this and paved the way for me in advance."
Li Jiaxin looked at Zhou Qi and said with a smile: "Grandpa really takes special care of you."
At this moment, Zhou Qi's phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, he said, "Uncle Li, is it Huo Yongnian who contacted you?"
Li Zihong nodded and replied: "Xiao Zhou, your prediction is very accurate!"
Due to what happened at Caesars Palace last night, the Huo family should have known about his arrival in Hong Kong City.
Now that the Huo family is in trouble, it is almost certain that they will associate it with him, and then with the Li family.
Therefore, Zhou Qi was mentally prepared for the call from Huo Yongnian to Li Zihong.
To be precise, he was waiting for this call in order to understand Huo Yongnian's thoughts and the current specific situation of the Huo family. It can be said that every move of the Huo family is under his control.
"Uncle Li, what does Huo Yongnian want to do?" Zhou Qi asked.
Li Zihong briefly recounted the conversation and continued, "Xiao Zhou, although Huo Yongnian appears tough on the surface, I can sense that the Huo family is no longer able to struggle."
"otherwise."
He added: “He wouldn’t leave it to me to set the price.”
Zhou Qi smiled and asked, "Uncle Li, have you agreed on a specific time?"
"not yet."
Li Zihong replied: "It depends on how you arrange it."
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's set it for tomorrow and get this matter resolved."
Hearing this decision, Li Zihong was shocked and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"
"more or less."
Zhou Qi explained: "It doesn't make much sense to continue buying shares in the current stock market. We have done what we should do, and the results are good. We don't want to delay any further."
Li Zihong pondered for a while, then said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jiaxin looked at Zhou Qi worriedly and said:
"Aren't you going to observe the Huo family's movements again? If they unite, your acquisition proposal will trigger a situation that is difficult to control."
