Morphy’s aura was so strong that Casper Yang did not dare to get close to him. He could only sit some distance away. The atmosphere in the room fell stagnant for a moment.
Casper Yang was no longer young, and he had experienced all kinds of scenarios. He quickly escaped from the feeling of suppression and picked up the bottle of liquor on the table and started pouring for Morphy. He passed a glass to him earnestly. “Mr. Shen, have a drink first.”
Mr. Shen’s gaze faintly swept across the glass. Then, it fell onto Mr. Yang. His gaze was filled with a shuddering coldness.
“Mr. Yang, I know about your company’s current situation. If I agree to invest in some of your projects, how much shares do you intend to give me?”
Morphy did not beat around the bush but went straight to the point.
Casper Yang was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed out loud. He praised him in a sincere, yet hypocritical manner, “Mr. Shen, you are really a straightforward person.”
He placed the bottle back on the table and asked, “Mr. Shen, how much do you think is suitable?”
“30%.” Morphy spat out a number coldly.
The smile on Casper Yang’s face froze instantly. “Mr. Shen, are you kidding me?”
His big brother was the chairman of YanG, and he only held 35% of the shares. If he were to carelessly give Mr. Shen 30%, the owner of the YanG could easily be replaced!
Morphy sneered. “30%, nothing less. When I get the shares, I will immediately transfer the funds into the YanG’s account.”
Now that YanG had lost their source of funds, many projects had been halted. If they did not get new capital investment, then they would have to declare bankruptcy.
Right now, a chance presented itself right in front of him. As long as he promised to give Shen 30% of the shares, then the YanG would be brought back to life.
It was always better to choose the lesser of two evils.
At that moment, Casper Yang had an idea.
“Okay, I will go back and discuss it with my big brother. If possible, I hope that you, Mr. Shen, can also keep your word.”
Casper Yang looked at him with a shrewd gaze. Morphy could not help snorting. He said, “YanG is not enough to tempt me.”
What he meant was that the YanG was insignificant to him.
Casper Yang smiled awkwardly. He replied, “Yes, yes, how could Mr. Shen possibly fall in love with the YanG?”
The Yang family had never daydreamed of having the Shen’s influence. However, they had now finally climbed onto this ladder. With the Shen’s support, the YanG could become a top-tier enterprise in Benin, or even the country.
At that vision, Casper Yang could not stop the corners of his lips from curling.
Morphy looked at him silently, his eyes full of mockery. Then, he pretended to say casually, “Mr. Yang, the YanG’s corruption case has been all over the news recently. It should not affect our partnership, right?”
“No, it won’t be affected at all. It’ll be resolved soon.”
“Oh?” Morphy raised his brows. “How are you so sure?”
As if he was in a hurry to prove something, Casper Yang blurted out, “The two scapegoats have already pleaded guilty. The case will close very soon.”
“Scapegoats?” Morphy frowned.
“Ah?” Casper Yang realized that he had said something wrong, and he explained quickly. “No, no, I mean that the two corrupt criminals have already pleaded guilty. Look, I had a slip of the tongue.”
Cold sweat covered Casper Yang’s whole back.
Morphy’s gaze darkened slightly. A slip of the tongue revealed unguarded truth.
Casper Yang noticed that Morphy’s face had turned so dark that he coul not tell what the man was thinking. He could only smile awkwardly and reassure him with a promise. “Mr. Shen, you can rest assured that we will soon finish dealing with the corruption case.”
Morphy remained silent for a while before spitting out a sentence. “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Then, he got up and walked towards the door.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Casper Yang quickly got up and chased after him.
“Mr. Shen, then… ”
Before he could finish his sentence, a bunch of people barged in from outside.
