“Of course, that’s the time I’m giving, but whether the police can give us that much time is another matter!”
After speaking, Yang Hao stood up from his seat, “Shuyuan, let’s go to the meeting.”
“CEO Ye and the others have been waiting for a long time!”
“Yes, okay!”
Ye Shuyuan nodded and immediately followed Yang Hao out of the chairman’s office.
“Ten billion?”
“Director Yang, that’s too little!”
With a grim face, Lü Peng shouted at Yang Hao’s back.
However, Yang Hao completely ignored him and headed straight toward the meeting room.
“Dad, we just don’t sell, right?”
“I don’t believe they can force a sale!”
After Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan had disappeared, Lu Mingzhe said through gritted teeth.
Slap!!
As soon as Lu Mingzhe finished speaking, Lü Peng’s slap had already landed on his face.
The slap was so forceful that it caused Lu Mingzhe to stagger almost to the point of falling.
“Dad, why did you hit me?”
Lu Mingzhe covered his face, his eyes full of grievance.
“Hit you?”
“If I could, I would kill you, you good-for-nothing!”
“Our Lu family will be ruined in your hands one day!”
Lü Peng’s face was livid as he cursed.
“Dad, I was also thinking about the family!”
“With the shares in our hands, what can he do even if we don’t sell?”
Lu Mingzhe, covering his face, asked.
Lü Peng rolled his eyes, cursing internally: What sins have I committed to have such an idiot for a son!
“You still have the face to ask how not selling could affect us!”
“If it weren’t for you, this idiot, would we be in such a passive position??”
Lü Peng pursed his lips, then pointed at Lu Mingzhe’s nose and said, “You saw that video earlier, right?”
“Do you know what that video could lead to?”
“Uh?”
Lu Mingzhe was rendered speechless, and after pondering seriously for a moment, replied, “Yang became famous because of that video!”
“He became a big internet sensation!”
Lü Peng was speechless, knowing this fool hadn’t grasped the repercussions that the video could bring.
“I’ll tell you what it means when that video goes viral!”
“The extra high level of attention and public discourse will put immense pressure on the Hucheng police and officials.”
“Therefore, they will surely solve this case quickly to give the public an explanation!”
“And you, the man behind the scenes, will undoubtedly be exposed under the spotlight.”
“Our Lu family will also become the target of public criticism!”
“Given the vile nature of this case and its massive societal impact, the police, prosecutors, and courts will surely judge severely!”
“That means, you are most likely going to prison for a long time!”
“Ah!!”
“This…”
After hearing Lü Peng’s explanation, Lu Mingzhe was completely dumbfounded, having never anticipated the massive impact of the video.
Of course, he wasn’t particularly concerned about the video’s impact; the problem was Lü Peng’s statement that he would end up in prison for a very long time.
This outcome was absolutely unacceptable to Lu Mingzhe, and he was so shocked that it took him a long time to recover.
“It can’t be that severe, can it?”
Lu Mingzhe took a deep breath, hoping to get a different answer from his father.
However, Lü Peng decisively shook his head, “If we don’t agree to sell the shares, this outcome is inevitable!”
“Then, let’s sell!”
Lu Mingzhe quickly changed his tune, no longer maintaining his previous demeanor.
He certainly didn’t want to go to prison, and comparing that, selling the family’s shares didn’t seem so bad.
“Dad, let’s just sell the shares!”
“I heard it’s the era of cash is king now, we’d be more secure holding a large amount of cash!”
Lu Mingzhe even persuaded his own dad.
However, after hearing his words, Lü Peng rolled his eyes in frustration.
Hopeless!
This prodigal son of his was truly hopeless!
So cowardly and weak!
But if you’re always going to be timid, then don’t stir up trouble!
But look what happened, you’ve caused such a huge mess!
In fact, if it weren’t for the impact Lu Mingzhe’s exposure could have on the entire Lu Family, Lü Peng would have ignored this prodigal son!
Now, however, there was no choice, as who else but Lu Mingzhe was his son, inadvertently binding the Lu Family tightly together, creating a situation where they either sink or swim together.
If Lü Peng had really ignored the situation, things could have developed uncontrollably, which was not something he wanted to see.
So, for the sake of stability, he could only agree to Yang Hao’s proposal, sell all the shares to him, and then mediate the situation himself.
This way, the crisis of the Lu Family was also averted!
But a hundred billion was indeed too low!
The current market value of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group was about 1500 billion.
The value of 12% shares was around 180 billion, and yet Yang Hao directly offered a hundred billion!
It could be said he came wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword!
Even tougher than those buyers on the salty fish market!
Of course, this price was not impossible to negotiate; one hundred billion was indeed a bit outrageous, but it also represented Yang Hao’s stance. He might add money in the later negotiations, but the increase was not likely to be significant.
Inside the conference room.
Almost all senior executives of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group were present.
Yang Hao personally chaired this meeting, and such meetings were no longer unfamiliar to him. Sitting in the main seat, he spoke fluently, not showing any sign of stage fright.
At this meeting, Yang Hao had officially become the new Chairman of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.
Everyone stood up and applauded, and under the leadership of Ye Jianye, the applause grew louder and louder!
Yang Hao gave a brief inaugural speech, then comfortably sat back in the main seat, watching the senior executives introduce themselves, and quietly observing them with the skill “Fiery Eyes.”
Any person with strong work capabilities, he would take special note of, thinking about giving such people more power during subsequent job placements.
This way, the company could develop in a healthy direction.
The meeting concluded.
Yang Hao returned to the Chairman’s office.
Before he even reached the office, he found Lü Peng and Lu Mingzhe, father and son, sitting on the sofa in the reception waiting area.
“Director Yang, I’ve thought it through.”
“Let’s talk about the price again!”

Seeing Yang Hao approach, Lü Peng hurriedly went up to greet him.
“Hmm, let’s talk in my office!”
Yang Hao nodded slightly; it was not surprising that the Lu father and son hadn’t left.
Lu Mingzhe might be foolish, but Lü Peng was sensible and knew they had to race against time. While Yang Hao had given them one day, they really couldn’t afford to wait!
During Yang Hao’s meeting, Lü Peng even specifically checked the internet for news about the incident.
As he had expected, in less than two hours, the incident had topped the hot searches on social networks like Weibo and Kuaiyin.
And with some self-media seeking to ride the hype, the visibility of the incident only grew.
Even the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau had to issue a notice, briefly describing the case while informing the public that the investigation was ongoing.
And the official Weibo of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau’s comments section was completely overwhelmed, with netizens almost all asking about the progress of the case.
Many even “sentenced” Zhao Hu and others directly in the comment section!
Seeing the situation developing as he had expected, Lü Peng was naturally very anxious, meaning the time left for him was diminishing even more!
So, at this moment he really couldn’t afford to delay!
Once again entering the Chairman’s office.
Yang Hao and Lü Peng had a formal acquisition negotiation, and the final purchase price was 130 billion!
Although it was thirty billion more than Yang Hao’s initial offer of one hundred billion, for the Lu Family, it was still like cutting their own flesh.
But there was no choice, as they were stuck in a bind!
If they disagreed, the losses would be even more severe!
However, Lü Peng managed to secure some benefits, such as ensuring that the cooperation between his company and Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group could not be terminated, and he wanted it included in the contract.
For this request, Yang Hao had no objections; after all, there were still many reasons to terminate such cooperation in the future. First, he had to acquire the shares!
