“Hello.” Lin Yun picked up the phone.
“Are you Lin Yun by any chance? Introduce yourself, my name is Ye Guangde, I’m the chairman of the Ye Group, the head of the Ye Family, and Ye Rulong’s father.”
A slightly hoarse voice came out of the phone.
“So it’s the Ye family head, I don’t know what you’re calling me about?” Lin Yun said blandly.
“I want to meet with you to talk about something, so why don’t you and I find a cafe and make an appointment. How about it?” The Ye family lord said.
“It’s not for, that video of Ye Rulong, is it?” Lin Yun revealed a smile.
Ever since the reception ended yesterday, Lin Yun had been paying attention to the video, but there wasn’t a single media outlet that had exposed the video of Ye Rulong at the reception.
Lin Yun knew that those media outlets that went to film it yesterday must have been silenced by the Ye family.
However, Lin Yun had a copy in his hands, and Lin Yun could post it online whenever he wanted to.
“Lin Yun. You’re really smart, one guess and you’re right, it’s all about that video.”
“Businessmen seek profit, there are no eternal friends and enemies in the mall. There are only eternal interests, about that video, I think we can talk about it face to face.” Ye family head said.
“If you want to talk to me you can, come to the Huading Mansion to talk!” Lin Yun said blandly.
“Huading Mansion? That’s not quite right, is it? Let’s make an appointment at a cafe, it’s better for everyone.” The Ye family lord said.
“I’m sorry, you’re the one who wants to talk to me now, you’re not qualified to negotiate with me, if you’re not willing to come, then there’s no need to talk, I’ll turn around and post the video online.” Lin Yun said blandly.
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
……
Inside the Ye family manor.
“bast*rd even hung up on me!”
When the Ye Family Lord saw Lin Yun hang up the phone, his face, instantly, became gloomy.
“Dad, what did he say? Is he going to meet with you?” Ye Rulong opened his mouth to enquire.
“He asked me to come to the Huading Mansion to talk.” Ye Family Lord said in a cold voice.
“What?” Ye Rulong’s face changed.
The Huading Mansion, was the headquarters of the Huading Group, going there was obviously a risk.
“Then what now?” Ye Rulong asked.
“I can only go to meet him, although it is a bit risky to go to Huading’s headquarters, but with the current situation, Huading will definitely not dare to do anything to me, if I don’t go, I’m afraid that he will really think that I’m afraid.” Ye family master narrowed his eyes and said.
……
On the other hand, after An Xiao Ya put her things in the lakeside mansion, Lin Yun drove and pulled her to the Huading Mansion before arranging for her to be inducted.
It wasn’t long before Lin Yun received news. The Ye Family Lord had arrived at the Huading Mansion.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but sigh, this Ye Family Lord was still a bit bold, he had actually come.
Lin Yun had the security guards bring him to his office, but Lin Yun wasn’t, in a hurry to meet him.
Inside Lin Yun’s office.
The Ye Family Lord’s face was gloomy, as he had been sitting here for twenty minutes.
“Lin Yun when is he coming!” The Ye Family Lord asked his secretary, An Xiao Ya, with a stern face.
“Ye Dong, our President Lin is busy, he said that when he finishes what he’s doing, he’ll come over first thing.” An Xiao Ya said.
“Hmph, I think he’s doing it on purpose.” Ye Family Lord said in a cold voice.
On the top floor of the Huading Mansion, inside Grandpa Liu Zhizhong’s office.
“Yun’er, how soon are you going to meet him.” Liu Zhizhong asked with a smile.
“Let’s air him out for half an hour first.” Lin Yun said leisurely while drinking tea.
“Haha, this Ye Guangde has always been high and mighty, he’ll definitely be furious when he’s hung out to dry by you like this.” Liu Zhizhong laughed.
“Who let him be begging me now.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Lin Yun got up and headed towards his office.
Inside Lin Yun’s office.
Lin Yun pushed the door and hurried into the office.
“Ye family master, I’m so sorry, I’ve been rather busy with work and I’ve kept you waiting.” Lin Yun said as he walked.
“Lin Yun, I don’t know if your busyness is real or fake.” The Ye family head snorted coldly.
As he spoke, Lin Yun had already walked across to the Ye Family Lord before sitting down.
Lin Yun shot a glance. This Ye Family Lord had a beard and short shaved hair, and was not angry, with the posture of a complete superior.
“Ye family head, how does the flavour of our Huading’s coffee compare to your Ye Group?” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Lin Yun, it’s better to talk about business, that video of my son, make a price and sell it to me.” The Ye family head leaned back in his chair and said slowly.
“Your son lost 3 billion to me in a bet at the reception yesterday, he hasn’t given it to me yet, the contract is right here, let’s get this over with first.”
Lin Yun said as he took out that contract and placed it on the table.
“Three billion, I’ll transfer the money to you now.” Ye family lord said.
This was a contract after all, even if there wasn’t the video thing. The Ye family would still have to pay this money, otherwise if they were to go to court, not only would they still have to pay this money, but it would cause the Ye family’s reputation to be tarnished.
For the Ye family head, this is also a big expense. But who let his son lose yesterday?
Soon after, the Ye family head completed this remittance by transferring the money through his mobile phone.
Lin Yun received a text message reminder on his mobile phone and took it out to see that it was precisely a collection reminder, with 3 billion collected and the balance raised to over 6 billion.
Previously, when Huading was suppressed, Lin Yun had taken two billion to Huading, so that had caused Lin Yun to only have more than three billion left before.
“Good, this contract. It’s yours.”
After Lin Yun received the transfer reminder, he immediately took that contract and threw it to Family Lord Ye.
The Ye Family Lord took the contract and continued:
“Now, you can say it, how much are you willing to sell that video to me.”
“10 billion.”
Lin Yun gave a thumbs up.
If this video, could be sold for 10 billion, Lin Yun would definitely be willing to sell it.
To make 10 billion by shooting a video, this deal, it was simply profitable. Making ten billion by investing in a company would definitely take a lot of time and effort, and it wouldn’t necessarily earn that much.
“Bang!”
“Ten billion? You’re robbing!”
The Ye family head slammed the table and stood up, his face filled with anger.
Although the Ye family was powerful, it was inferior to Liu Zhizhong in terms of business, and the market capitalisation of the Ye Clan Group was not as good as Hua Ding.
Just taking that three billion, had already made the Ye family head haemorrhage, taking another ten billion, would definitely make the entire Ye Group hurt, and even have to sell some of their industries to do so.
“One billion at most! This is the limit I can afford! It’s just a video, it can make you a billion, you can steal your joy.” Ye Family Lord said in a cold voice.
“So there’s no more to talk about? Then you go, I’m going to get busy too.”
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he directly got up and left.
When Lin Yun walked to the door.
“Wait a minute! Two billion! That’s really the limit!” The Ye family head said through clenched teeth.
“Nine billion! That’s the lowest limit I can accept.” Lin Yun said blandly.
“Nine billion? You’re kidding!”
“In this case, I’ll make a final bid of three billion, I definitely can’t go any higher, or else you can just send out that video. My big deal is to hire a team of publicists to whitewash it again!” The Ye family head gritted his teeth and said.
Lin Yun smiled coldly, “You can hire a team PR, can’t I hire a team counter PR?9 billion, I can’t go any lower!”
Ye Family Lord took a long breath, then said:
“Phew……, count yourself hard.4 billion! This is definitely my limit, it’s impossible to go higher by a single cent, with my Ye family’s finances, this is the limit figure!”
“Since it’s impossible to go higher, there’s no more to talk about? See you later. I won’t see you off!”
“Boom!”
Lin Yun directly slammed the office door shut and walked out of the office.
“Damn it!”
When the Ye family head saw that Lin Yun had really left, his face turned iron blue.
After thinking about it, Family Head Ye still got up and chased after him.
Who made him not want that video to get out? Otherwise his son’s reputation would stink, and it would stink for the rest of his life!
Outside the office.
“Lin Yun. Five billion! That’s the limit of limits!” The Ye family head yelled towards Lin Yun’s back.
“Nine billion!” Lin Yun said blandly.
“I keep raising the price again, you …… can’t you go any less?” The Ye Family Lord said viciously.
“Fine, then I’ll go even less, 8.9 billion.” Lin Yun said.
“Pfft!”
After hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Ye family head was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, so Lin Yun would be one hundred million less?
“There’s no point in negotiating when you’re making such a lion’s mouthful of money, go!”
Ye Family Lord immediately led his entourage and turned around to leave angrily.
“Ye Family Lord, then I’ll make another concession, 8 billion.” Lin Yun turned his head and said.
The Ye Family Lord, who was leaving, stopped in his tracks.
“6 billion, I’ll raise the price one last time, if I raise the price one more cent today, I, Ye Guangde, will write my name backwards!”
After the Ye Family Lord finished speaking, he continued to step away.
