Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 647 - 281: The Intense Sun_3

"Don't say too much. Just congratulate President Lin on making a fortune, using an envious tone. We need to find someone who is pretty close to President Lin. Can you do that?"

"Holy shit!"

Liu Minghao finally got it. He slapped his thigh fiercely and gave a thumbs up, "God Lie, you're freaking awesome!!!"

It was an overt plot. Han Lie's goal was simple: to secure the 24% of Gao Yuan Real Estate shares that were scattered externally.

President Lin and that other person aren't on Gao Yuan Real Estate's executive team. They're external shareholders who once provided significant support for Gao Diaomao's development but are now as useless as chicken ribs.

Liu Minghao excitedly recounted the information he had gathered.

"Damn it! Gao Diaomao has actually always wanted to reclaim the shares from Old Lin and that other person. That other person has been on their last legs for a while. It would take me no time to get those shares.

Old Lin is still observing. If the credit restrictions continue for another year, there's an 80% chance he'll willingly leave the game. So, Gao Diaomao has never been in much of a hurry because as long as he gathers enough money, he can reclaim those shares anytime. That's the confidence behind his agreement to our terms! But once we step in... HAHAHAHA!"

"I've never dealt with Old Lin, but I know who's close to him—Old Xing's wife's brother was his classmate in the same department! This is going to be easy!"

"Good."

Han Lie nodded with a smile, not surprised at all.

To be honest, with his current network, such a result was inevitable. Panzi, Dou, Old Zhang, Old Liu, Old Xing, Old Huang, the Jin Family sisters, Old Jin from Magic Silver… Extending outwards, it could almost cover every aspect of Magic Capital, lacking only some internet connections. With such a network, as long as one was willing to put in the effort, there was definitely someone who could get in touch with President Lin. Therefore, Gao Diaomao's plan was doomed from the start.

The more Liu Minghao thought about it, the more excited he became. He propped his chin on his hand and started pacing in circles in the living room.

"If we lock up his external shares and Gao Diaomao still wants to meet your needs, he'll have to move against his own key internal supporters! President Zhang, who oversees construction production, holds 13.5% of the shares. President Hu, who's in charge of marketing, advertising, and public relations, holds 12.2%. Without sweeping both of them out, Gao Diaomao definitely can't gather 20%! But if he really messes with those two, Gao Yuan Real Estate will likely be in turmoil for at least half a year! God Lie, what do you think? Do you think Gao Diaomao dares to make a move?"

"What do I care if he dares to make a move?" Han Lie chuckled, spreading his arms wide and leaning back into the sofa with a commanding presence.

"Anyway, tomorrow I'll start spreading the word as he asked: Gao Yuan Real Estate doesn't meet the stringent requirements for ABS financing."

"HAHAHAHA!" Liu Minghao laughed until his stomach hurt, slapping his thigh repeatedly.

"By the time he's got everything ready, when the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released, he'll find that Old Lin and that other person simply won't budge. They might even demand to appoint a supervisor in the company! I bet that old Diaomao's expression will be priceless!"

It indeed would be priceless. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gao Diaomao had actually been very confident when he agreed to Han Lie's terms. He knew his own business best. Old Lin and that other person had long wanted to exit; he had simply prioritized reclaiming shares from another party first. Otherwise, where did the 11% of shares in Gao Shen's hands come from? Gao Diaomao's plan was to have Han Lie spread rumors in their circle to drive down the company's value. Then, he would use a mix of coercion and incentives to acquire Old Lin's and the other person's shares for around 400 million. With cash from home, equity in the clothing company, and shares in Gao Shen's company, gathering 400 million wouldn't be difficult; 450 million could even be attempted. Once he had the shares, he would transfer 20% to Han Lie and increase his own holdings by 4%. Although Han Lie might appear to be the second-largest shareholder, compared to Gao Diaomao's actual control, he was nothing. Do you even understand what absolute control means?! Punk!

In theory, Gao Diaomao's thoughts were flawless. However, no matter how cunning he was, he could never have imagined that Han Lie had already thoroughly studied him and his company. When Gao Diaomao finally made his move, he would find the situation to be entirely different from what he had anticipated…

"Then what?" Liu Minghao asked eagerly, "What's your plan after that?"

"We'll see if he moves against Zhang and Hu," Han Lie replied casually.

"Broadly speaking, there are three possible developments."

Liu Minghao settled back into the sofa across from him. "Hunter, I'm all ears!"

Han Lie lifted three fingers, explaining each point.

"First, it's possible he won't dare to mess with Zhang and Hu and will give up on cooperating with me. That's simple. By then, rumors about Gao Yuan Real Estate not being up to par will have spread in the circles, and large securities firms capable of handling ABS projects definitely won't waste any more time on him. I'll call in some favors, help out discreetly, and his ABS project will absolutely be dead in the water. Without fresh funds coming in, how will he make the land payment for Plot B? If the land lease expires and work still can't start, our friends in land management and construction will certainly enforce the law impartially, right? Gao Yuan Real Estate's debt ratio is already close to 70%. If the new project gets blocked, you can bet creditors, including banks, will rush to demand repayment or withdraw loans. As soon as one of them can't hold back… within half a month, we can celebrate. When Gao Yuan Real Estate goes bankrupt, the 6% of shares in my hands will be as good as gone. I can afford the loss. After all, the company's legal representative is surnamed Gao, right?"

Liu Minghao shook his head and clapped enthusiastically. "Right, absolutely right!"

Han Lie continued leisurely, "Second, Gao Diaomao might strong-arm Zhang and Hu and hand over the shares to me."
