Chapter 296: No Room for Negotiation

The next day, at 10 AM, Gao Jiajun's investment ceremony in Jiangnan City officially took place at the Jiangnan City International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Ye Bufan originally didn't want to come, but after receiving invitations from both Zhu Yucheng and Gao Jiajun, he reluctantly brought Qin Chuchu with him.

This investment ceremony could be said to be an unprecedented event in Jiangnan City's financial circles, with financial luminaries from all walks of life invited.

Tang Tianyi of the Tang Family, He Changqing of the He Family, and catering magnate Dong Tianda all came, truly a gathering of big shots.

Among the many heads of families, there was one woman who looked particularly striking, tall and beautiful, with every movement exuding infinite charm.

She was Tian Ruyi of the Tian Family, representing the Tian Family at this investment ceremony.

This woman was clearly very skilled at socializing, calm and composed in the crowd, not at all underestimated due to her youth and being a woman.

Not far from Ye Bufan and them, Qin Dongliang and Qin Guowei of the Qin Family were also seen.

Ever since the Gao Family intervened, Qin Chuchu was removed from her position as Vice President, and Qin Guowei, who was previously Vice President, became President.

Although it was temporary and had not yet been approved by the board of directors, he had already begun to take charge of all matters of the Qin Family.

There were two main reasons why financial big shots from all sides attached great importance to this investment: first, the huge investment amount of 20 billion chinese yuan was an unprecedentedly large piece of delicious meat.

Additionally, they were very clear that the Gao Family was only investing, and in terms of specific operations, they would inevitably seek partners in Jiangnan City.

Whoever could obtain the qualification to cooperate with the Gao Family would definitely be a godsend, providing the entire Family with an unprecedented opportunity for development.

At this moment, Qin Guowei also saw the two of them, casting a provocative glance, his face full of smugness.

Qin Chuchu looked disheartened; no matter what, she had put so much into Qin's Group, only for this guy to take advantage of it in the end, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth.

Ye Bufan saw through her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I promised you that I would help you get Qin's Group back."

Soon, the investment ceremony officially began. Zhu Yucheng first went on stage to deliver an impassioned speech, then invited the investor, Gao Jiajun, to speak.

Today's Gao Jiajun was different from his usual dejected self; he looked energetic and high-spirited.

Last night, he had reconciled with Xia Zihan, and with his wife of many years back, and having found his son, he was naturally overjoyed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gao Jiajun of Kunpeng Group from Hong Kong, and I was once a member of Jiangnan City.

Today, to give back to my hometown, I have decided to invest 20 billion chinese yuan in Jiangnan City to establish Brothers Investment Company, with my son, Gao Daqiang, serving as the company's President.”

At the conference, there was thunderous applause, and many familiar faces were curious: wasn't his son only three years old? When could he become a President?

At this moment, Gao Daqiang, dressed in a sharp suit, walked to the stage. This guy was already well-built, and in a suit, he gave off a tall and powerful impression.

Ye Bufan smiled, "No wonder I didn't see him just now, it turns out this guy is already the President."

Qin Chuchu had already heard Ye Bufan introduce Gao Daqiang's Family matters and sighed, "It really is fate playing tricks, I never thought Da Qiang would be Gao Jiajun's son."

After the introduction, Gao Jiajun directly yielded the podium to his son, with Gao Daqiang presiding over the rest of the ceremony.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I announce the main investment directions of Brothers Investment Company. Our 20 billion investment will primarily be spent in three directions.

First, Jiangnan City boasts beautiful scenery, so we will invest in a local tourism company, focusing on the tourism industry.

Second, an entertainment company will be established, focusing on the development of the film and television industry.

Third, a jewelry processing base will be established in Jiangnan City. In addition to growing stronger and larger ourselves, we will also provide raw Materials and products to Kunpeng Group's jewelry company in Hong Kong.”

With the investment directions announced, the venue once again erupted in thunderous applause. All the bosses involved in these industries beamed with joy, all hoping to get an opportunity to cooperate with the Gao Family.

This was especially true for Qin's Group. Qin Dongliang and Qin Guowei were grinning from ear to ear. The Qin Family was currently the leading enterprise in Jiangnan City's jewelry and jade industry.

Since the Gao Family wanted to establish a jade industry base here, then Qin's Group would certainly be the first choice.

Gao Daqiang continued, “I believe everyone has guessed that our Brothers Group, investing 20 billion, will inevitably seek partners in Jiangnan City.

Who we will specifically cooperate with will be determined in the next step of our work, but I will announce two requirements to everyone first.”

Upon hearing that there were still requirements, the venue immediately fell silent, everyone wanting to hear if it concerned them.

Gao Daqiang said, “The first requirement is that Brothers Group refuses to cooperate with the Tian Family.

At the same time, on behalf of the Gao Family, I officially announce that all groups and industries that have cooperative relationships with the Tian Family will be excluded by Brothers Group.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

and excluded by the Gao Family.”

“Boom…”

The conference site instantly became chaotic; no one had expected this outcome.

“What's going on? Why exclude the Tian Family? Can I still do business with the Tian Family’s industries?”

“Does that even need asking? The Tian Family only has a few billion in assets, which can’t even compare to Brothers Group, let alone contend with the entire Gao Family…”

“Who knows, the Tian Family must have offended Gao Jiajun, otherwise they wouldn’t be suppressed by the Gao Family…”

Amidst the whispers and discussions of the crowd, Tian Ruyi's pretty face, which had originally maintained a faint smile, suddenly turned stern.

She had always been responsible for important matters of the Tian Family, especially in recent days, she had been preparing for cooperation with the Gao Family, so she was unaware of the trouble Tian Sheng had caused.

She had originally thought that with her abilities and the strength of the Tian Family, she would surely gain something at today's investment ceremony, but she never expected this outcome.

The Tian Family was considered a top Family in Jiangnan City, but their assets were at most three to four billion, which was incomparable to a financial giant like Gao Jiajun.

After the shock, her heart was filled with doubts. How exactly had the Tian Family offended Gao Jiajun? Why was he so resolute?

Not only did Brothers Group's 20 billion investment refuse to cooperate with the Tian Family, but the Gao Family also indirectly issued a ban.

Any enterprise that had a cooperative relationship with the Tian Family could not cooperate with the Gao Family; this was simply an attempt to drive the Tian Family to ruin.

However, she did not overreact or act rashly. This matter had to be thoroughly investigated to find its root cause.

After everyone's shock subsided, Gao Daqiang said, “The second requirement is that in the jewelry industry, our Brothers Investment Company's preferred partner is Qin's Group.”

Hearing this, Qin Dongliang's face immediately showed a satisfied smile, and Qin Guowei next to him became even more smug.

Previously, Qin's Group was only powerful in Jiangnan City; compared to the entire China, it was still pitifully small.

But if they could connect with the Gao Family, it would be different. They would soon be able to move out of Jiangnan Province, and even out of China, to develop Qin's Group's business in Hong Kong.

And just then, they heard Gao Daqiang continue, “However, I announce one point: for Qin's Group to cooperate with Brothers Investment Company, other conditions can be discussed, but Qin Chuchu must serve as the Group's President.

This is a mandatory condition, with no room for negotiation; otherwise, cooperation will be refused.”
