Chapter 176 The Yang Family's Trouble
After Shen Zhilan and the others left, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Guosheng immediately said to Xu Ye gratefully, "Mr. Xu, thank you so much for what you did earlier."
They were indeed very grateful to the young man in front of them. Hongsheng had ruined them, even sending their son to jail. If they were forced to sell land worth tens of billions to him for a pittance...
The resentment they felt was unimaginable.
Xu Ye said, "It's nothing, Mr. Yang, you don't need to be so polite."
Yang Guosheng shook his head: "This is no small matter. Moreover, Mr. Xu, you must be very careful of Shen Zhilan and Hongsheng Real Estate. They really have no bottom line when it comes to doing things."
Mrs. Yang was clearly more concerned about the cooperation. After looking at Xu Ye for a moment and hesitating, she finally couldn't help but interject, "Mr. Xu, you just said you came to talk to us about cooperation...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Guosheng turned around and scolded, "Qian Yao!"
No one knew their family situation better than he did; it was completely unsolvable.
They've already done a great favor by helping them today, why drag them down with them?
Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?
Ye Qianyao knew this too, so she opened her mouth, but in the end, she lowered her head with red eyes.
"Mr. Xu, I appreciate your kindness, but let's forget about the cooperation. Our Yang Group..."
Yang Guosheng gave a bitter laugh, his toughness and composure crumbling, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
Xu Ye understood the unspoken meaning in his words, but shook his head and said, "President Yang, what troubles is your Yang Group currently facing? Tell me, and perhaps I can find a solution."
Although he knew the inside story in his previous life, he only found out about it afterward, and through other people.
It's hard to say that there haven't been any major omissions in these details.
Now we have the opportunity to hear the person involved's story... and the most crucial point is that his fundamental purpose was not to help the Yang family, but Hongsheng Real Estate, and even the Li family behind it!
Therefore, the details are even more important; not a single detail can be missed!
"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you."
Yang Guosheng didn't think Xu Ye could be of any help. After all, the key to this situation was Hongsheng, and behind Hongsheng... who didn't know it was the Li family from Beijing?
If the Li family cannot be dealt with, then this situation is completely unsolvable.
He mainly wanted to make things clear that the Yang family was indeed a huge problem, and he refused because he didn't want to drag them down. It was definitely not out of ingratitude or betrayal.
As for whether Xu Ye was sent by Hongsheng Real Estate or even the Li family, is this another trap?
Perhaps, but for now, he doesn't want to assume the worst about the other party.
Anyway, who in Jiangcheng doesn't know about the trouble the Yang family is currently facing?
We're just talking about this topic; the other person's identity is irrelevant.
He said, "This story begins about five years ago..."
Five years ago, in order to revitalize the economy of Beijiangbei... well, to put it bluntly, for its own political gain, Jiangcheng planned to create a Beicheng Economic Zone.
Jiangbei, as the name suggests, is separated from Jiangcheng by a river.
However, because of this, its geographical location is extremely advantageous, with mountains behind and water in front, and a river in front of it. The river and sea are municipal parks, which greatly reduces noise pollution.
It is also connected to a highway, making its transportation extremely convenient.
There is also ample commercial land in the surrounding area, plus educational land planned by the municipal government and a large tertiary hospital, so its potential value is self-evident.
But this comes with a prerequisite: a bridge needs to be built.
Jiangxin Bridge!
"This bridge is crucial to the Beicheng Economic Zone. Without it, the Beicheng Economic Zone would still be just a poor and backward village with no economic value."
"But it's not that easy."
Yang Guosheng said, "The construction of a bridge requires a huge investment, and there are very few companies in the entire Jiangcheng that can undertake the project."
"The city government will not use municipal funds to build this bridge, because the investment of billions of dollars is too much for the city government to afford."
"So ultimately, the project was shelved until more than a year ago."
Xu Ye said, "Hongsheng took over?"
Yang Guosheng nodded: "The municipal government divided the commercial land around Jiangxin Bridge into five plots. The bridge was constructed with funds provided by Hongsheng Real Estate, which also obtained the priority right to select these plots."
but!
Hongsheng Real Estate, backed by the Li family, clearly had the strength to acquire all the land, but it didn't, only managing to acquire three plots.
Moreover, these are three pieces located on the back of Jiangxin Bridge, and the price is so low that it's practically free.
Instead, the two most valuable pieces ended up in the hands of Yang Guosheng's nephew.
Yang Guosheng said, "Don't you find it strange that our Yang family didn't see through such an obvious trap?"
Xu Ye shook his head: "Since it's a municipal government plan, it will definitely be implemented; it's just a matter of time."
A look of surprise flashed in Yang Guosheng's eyes, then he nodded with admiration: "Yes, which real estate company doesn't have land hoarding?"
"The final price of those two plots of land was five billion. With the financial strength of my Yang family at the time, even if we left them for a few years, we could not afford this loss. The key is that something else happened."
Xu Ye's spirits lifted, and his back straightened up unconsciously.
Finally... we've arrived at the most crucial point!
Yang Guosheng's son, Yang Yuan, was imprisoned for illegal fundraising and fraud!
He's been scammed!
At this point, Yang Guosheng's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
That happened about six months ago. At that time, two of Yang Yuan's friends approached him, saying they wanted to do business with him and asked if he was willing.
If it were an ordinary person, Yang Yuan would not have paid any attention to them, but who were these two people?
One is the son of a provincial bank president, and the other is the son of the fifth deputy governor of the province!
"After all, it's an investment company, not a financing company. And the partner is the son of the provincial bank president and the son of the fifth vice governor. Even I have no reason to refuse, let alone my son?"
So, an investment company was started.
"At first it was fine, they were investing in some promising and normal projects."
“Until a month ago, the largest investment was made.”
"Beichen New Energy Project!"
"The investment amount is as high as over 30 billion!"
The outcome is obvious: what investment project? It was a complete scam.
The company's legal representative was changed to Yang Yuan at some point, and of the more than 30 billion yuan investment, 8 billion yuan was borrowed in the company's name, while the remaining 20 billion yuan... all came from the major families in Xiangzhou Province!
What's worse is that the Jiangxin Bridge had already officially started construction more than six months ago.
Yang Guosheng is out of the woods now, after all, the Jiangxin Bridge is a municipal project with a strict delivery deadline.
Why did Hongsheng halt the project after already investing funds and breaking ground?
It’s impossible…right?
