Chapter 798: Business as usual
Lei Qiankun frowned: "Anyway, the result of this auction has already been decided. A day earlier or later, it won't make any difference."
"Don't worry, since we're cooperating with you, we won't let you down in terms of price! This is the sincerity of our Guan Gong Association!"
"After all, we have more cooperation ahead of us, and harmony brings wealth!"
However, Li Xie shook his head.
"That's not what I said! Since our Cancer Group has already announced a public auction in three days, how can we go back on our word and profit? This will only damage the reputation of the Cancer Group!"
"Besides, three days is already too short! If we move it forward any further, I'm worried you'll have trouble raising funds!"
At this time, Falcon finally spoke.
There was a hint of threat in his tone.
"Mr. Li must have heard something, right?"
"To be honest, Zhang Ye was indeed released tonight! But his appearance won't affect the overall situation!"
"The Martial Arts Association won't openly take action. Zhang Ye alone has lost his Starry Sky Black Card. What qualifications does he have to compete with us?"
Li Xie's eyes flickered.
He has a square face and looks honest, but he is actually a real old fox.
"Auctions are always about the highest bidder winning! Even if Zhang Ye doesn't have the ability, who can guarantee that someone else won't offer a higher price?"
"I'm a pure businessman. If I wait a few more days, someone might offer a higher price. I don't mind waiting."
"After all, acquiring these casinos has cost us a tremendous amount of energy and financial resources! We can't afford to lose money!"
After these words were spoken, Falcon's expression became even uglier.
"At this point, you still want to wait for the price to rise?"
Li Xie shrugged. "No? I promised you a public auction, and I also promised that as long as your price is right, I will give you priority!"
"But I have the final say on who it will be sold to in the end! What do you think?"
Falcon was furious.
That’s not what Li Xie said before!
He was wary of Falcon and Lei Qiankun, and was even more unable to withstand the pressure from overseas capital, so he wanted to throw the hot potato away immediately.
But now, upon hearing that Zhang Ye had left the police station safely, his greedy side showed again.
"I heard that your Cancer Group's goods have been stuck at the port for quite some time!"
“Some of the raw materials you need have also been detained overseas.”
"Aren't you afraid there might be problems with these goods?"
Li Xie shrugged and smiled.
"Of course I'm scared! If Hero Shipping collapses, our imports and exports will become a huge problem, and we'll have no choice but to rely on the shipping companies controlled by your overseas branches!"
"As for the security of our major enterprises, we also rely on the Guan Gong Association."
"But...it's only three days, I can still wait!"
"If you can't wait, I'm sorry! I can only try to communicate with Hua Yingxiong and Zhu Hongwu!"
Falcon became even angrier. This old guy Li Xie was a piece of tough guy.
Now it is obvious that he wants to have the best of both worlds!
After all, Zhang Ye had already been released from the police station. If the auction was held prematurely, Zhang Ye or the Martial Arts Association would be caught off guard, and there would be no room for recovery.
By leaving enough time, Li Xie doesn't have to pay anything, even if it means he is doing the other party a favor.
Falcon gritted his teeth and asked again.
"Is this what you mean, or is it what the other companies all mean?"
Li Xie smiled calmly: "Is there any difference? My meaning is the same as theirs!"
Falcon stood up angrily.
"Okay, I understand! Then everything will remain as before, and the time will still be set for three days later!"
He didn't dare to offend such a force, for fear of pushing them further away and forcing them to stand on the side of the Martial Arts Association.
Li Xie smiled and stood up to see him off.
"Have a nice day, both of you! Remember to go back and raise funds. I'm really worried that someone will offer a higher price and affect our cooperation!"
After hearing this, Falcon actually walked too fast.
After leaving Li Xie's house, Lei Qiankun couldn't help but ask a question.
"Li Xie is truly insatiable! But what if he's right and someone else offers a higher price in three days?"
"By then, will he really sell all his casino shares to others? Then our plan..."
Falcon snorted.
"Don't worry, no one dares to snatch it from us!"
"Zhang Ye has lost his Starry Sky Black Card and is not eligible to bid at all!"
"The Hua and Zhu families are also busy with their own affairs and are powerless!"
"As for the Martial Arts Association... With Wen Heng here, if anything unexpected happens, we can deal with it in advance."
Lei Qiankun was still a little worried.
"Just in case, and I mean just in case...if that card really is Zhang Ye's, he can always get a replacement!"
"No, holders of the Starry Sky Black Card don't even need to apply for a new one. With just that face, they can easily mobilize hundreds of billions of funds!"
Falcon shook his head firmly: "This is impossible!"
But then he thought, even if the cardholder wasn't Zhang Ye.
Since Zhang Ye was able to obtain the card, who could be sure that the real cardholder wouldn't help him in other ways?
"To be on the safe side, I should prepare some backup plans!"
"We must ensure that Zhang Ye doesn't appear at the auction! Those casino shares must not fall into his hands!"
Just at this time, Falcon received a message.
"What? Zhang Ye went to meet with the top executives of the Holy Island Development Bank?"
"Use all your connections immediately to prevent him from getting the money from the bank!"
