Chapter 801: Chapter 335: An Unexpected Surprise

Gao Shen was released in the afternoon.

In domestic situations, the management of marital disputes is relatively flexible, as long as the injuries aren’t severe and the nature isn’t too malicious, most of the time it’s managed through criticism and education.

Gao Shen was lectured by an elder sister from the women’s federation and then signed a guarantee before being naturally released.

After he was released, he impatiently sent his mother away and then, full of grievances, went directly to Han Lie’s company.

When the assistant came in to report, Brother Lie was stunned.

It’s strange, why isn’t that boy returning home but instead coming to see me?

"Let him in."

Han Lie decided to see what Gao Shen was up to.

The result was shocking.

After a tedious and meaningless rant, Gao Shen suddenly asked, "Mr. Han, do you want to invest in my father’s real estate company? Is 20% enough? I happen to have 11% of the company shares on hand. I don’t want them anymore. How much are you willing to pay?"

What the hell!

Have you gone mad?

Han Lie was caught off guard, feeling as if this surprise came too suddenly and was too surreal.

The shareholding structure of Gao Yuan Real Estate is like this—

The Gao Diaomao couple holds 38.5%, the Hong Kong side holds 11% (held secretly by Gao Shen), and the financial manager Duan Xiaolong holds 0.8% (Gao Diaomao’s brother-in-law).

The Gao Family collectively holds 50.3%.

The remainder is held by production director Mr. Zhang with 13.5%.

The director of marketing, advertising, and public relations, Mr. Hu, holds 12.2%.

A mysterious company holds 6%, but it has already been indirectly controlled by Liu Minghao.

Mr. Lin holds 18% and is currently neutral, observing the situation. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

And Han Lie’s "black-on-black" plan can roughly be broken down into the following steps—

First step, use significant benefits to stimulate the greed of Gao Diaomao, making him agree to offer 20% of the shares as Han Lie’s remuneration.

This step has already been successfully completed.

Second step, let Liu Minghao use his connections to subtly remind Mr. Lin, locking down the possibility of Mr. Lin selling his shares while controlling the mysterious company’s 6% shares.

This step has also been successfully completed.

Third step, force Gao Diaomao to act internally, tinkering with the shares of his right-hand men, creating division and turmoil within Gao Yuan Real Estate.

Currently, this matter is ongoing.

To maintain his family’s absolute control over the company, Gao Diaomao absolutely can’t take out his own shares, so he has to do this.

Even if it turns the two senior executive shareholders against him, economically speaking, the benefits clearly outweigh the detriments.

Recycling a total of 25.7% of the internal shares, giving 20% to Han Lie, Gao Diaomao can even increase his family’s controlling shares to 56%, further stabilizing his position.

And the shares repurchased at a low price will evidently yield great profits once future financing succeeds.

Furthermore, handling financial operations as needed, stripping out negative assets while fully developing more promising new projects, could entirely enable the company to achieve leapfrog development.

As for the two senior executive shareholders who have always collaborated very smoothly, and the numerous positions left vacant after their departure...

In today’s Huaxia, real estate elites are all too easy to recruit.

As long as salaries are competitive, how could it be hard to find qualified workers?

Gao Diaomao’s thinking truly has no flaws, and the company’s period of painful adjustment is unavoidable but won’t last long, with little real impact.

But that’s based on the assumption that Han Lie isn’t interested in Gao Yuan Real Estate.

Theoretically, Han Lie indeed shouldn’t, and couldn’t, take interest in a medium-sized real estate company; how could a financial tycoon toil hard in the physical industry for that little bit of hard-earned money?!

But Han Lie happens to be bored, wanting to play a game of bringing justice on behalf of Tianhang, who would’ve thought that?

Fourth step.

Once Gao Yuan Real Estate falls into chaos, Han Lie will quietly place his people in key positions within the company, waiting for the right time.

Indeed, he doesn’t have subordinates for this domain, but Panzi does!

Infiltrate a few wolves, have them turn their backs and blow things up at critical moments, and finally, take over the company in one swift move.

Fifth step.

To deal with any potential unforeseen events and ensure control over the situation, Han Lie needs to break Gao Diaomao’s absolute control over the company.

The simplest method is to let something go wrong with Gao Shen’s 11% shares.

Originally, Han Lie’s plan was for Bai Yuqiu to file a divorce lawsuit using evidence of Gao Shen’s transfer of assets to nail him, then secure at least 5.5% of the shares, making Bai Yuqiu a company shareholder.

Additionally, demanding more cash compensation would greatly deplete the Gao family’s cash flow.

This step is currently proceeding quite smoothly.

With Liu Minghao stepping in, it’s impossible for the lawsuit to be lost; he could extract even the essence out of Gao Shen’s bones.

Domestic violence + infidelity + malicious transfer of joint assets, asking for 300 million isn’t unreasonable, right?

However, even if everything progresses smoothly, Gao Diaomao will still hold considerable shares.

As long as he’s cautious enough, he could potentially ensure the minimum holding of 50.5%.

Therefore, Han Lie’s original sixth step was to bring a third party, one that Gao Diaomao couldn’t refuse, into the scene to acquire at least 5% of the shares.

For example, Liu Minghao, Tang Xintian, or Jin Minghui...

Whoever of them was willing to lower themselves to join, Gao Diaomao would be ecstatic.

In this way, with Han Lie’s 20% + the mysterious company’s 6% + Bai Yuqiu’s 5.5% + Mr. Lin’s 18% + the extra 5% = 54.5%.

The company is basically under Han’s name now.

Of course, Gao Diaomao is bound to be wary, but the problem is, as long as Bai Yuqiu’s divorce case opens at the right time, he won’t be able to react in time.

From Gao Diaomao’s perspective, how could Bai Yuqiu possibly know about the Hong Kong-funded shareholding company that Gao Shen secretly controls, if she didn’t even know about Gao Shen transferring their property?
