Chapter 247 - 247 ’Even the Cruellest Tiger Would Not Eat Its Cub’_l
“The latest news reveals that the Huahe Group is currently embroiled in an internal power struggle. Several shareholders are attempting to seize control, and there are two loans totaling half a billion that have not yet been settled…”
Inside the car, upon hearing this news, Jiang Xu’s eyes snapped open.
Wasn’t Huahe Group Zhang Xiaohui’s company?
In his previous life, Jiang Xu hadn’t paid much attention to the Huahe Group, so he wasn’t aware of this situation.
He quickly started to think.
At this point in time, with such a situation occurring internally, odds were that this was due to Zhang Xiaohui just having given birth.
She was physically weak, and her control over the group was nowhere near what it once was.
This was an excellent opportunity!

Jiang Xu immediately made a call to An Feng.
“Uncle…”
“I know what you want to ask; yes, the news is true. Right now, Zhang Xiaohui can’t work.
All matters concerning the group are being handled by me and her secretary.”
Jiang Xu straightened up, his expression serious. “Uncle, what exactly is going on?”
An Feng replied solemnly, “The Huahe Group… Zhang Xiaohui owns 31% of the shares.
The second and third largest shareholders together own 30%.
Right now, those two shareholders are taking advantage of her weakness to aggressively buy up shares from the remaining minor shareholders.
We’re doing the same thing right now.
It’s a race to see who works faster and obtains more shares.
But I expect that even if we succeed, Zhang Xiaohui’s personal cash flow will be depleted.”
Jiang Xu realized that his opportunity had arrived.
He then told An Feng, “Please, Uncle, could you help me tell Zhang Xiaohui something?
I’ll buy her mineral water company for fifty million.
If she doesn’t sell, I’ll start making things difficult for her and slander her.
And I’ll make sure she can’t find any evidence that it was me.”
The development of events was beyond Jiang Xu’s expectations.
So he decided to take a more direct approach and get his hands on that spring water company.
This was an excellent opportunity.
Zhang Xiaohui was currently embroiled in an internal crisis and short of funds.
If external forces interfered at this time, she would truly be in danger.
An Feng laughed and scolded him, “You’re shameless, Jiang Xu, kicking a person when they’re down!”
Jiang Xu chuckled, then cautioned, “Uncle, don’t play any tricks this time.
Do your best to help Zhang Xiaohui regain control of the group.
Now is not the right time to make a move.”
“I know, I won’t gain a single advantage this time.
I expect Zhang Xiaohui will completely trust me after this crisis.”
“Good. Here’s to our collective success.”
After hanging up, Jiang Xu started to ponder.
He was short on funds and needed to borrow more from the bank.
He could use the few properties he acquired from Zhou Liu, along with eight houses obtained through demolition and relocation, as collateral.
Getting a loan of fifty million shouldn’t be a huge issue.
After he got home, Jiang Xu took his ID and title deeds and drove to the bank.
On the other side, after ending his call with Jiang Xu, An Feng returned to the hospital.
He pushed open the door of the VIP ward.
Zhang Xiaohui was eating with the help of a maid.
Her phone was resting next to her, allowing her to stay updated with the latest news about the group at all times.
Zhang Xiaohui dismissed the maid and looked at An Feng saying softly, “You’ve been working hard.”
“No trouble, it’s all part of my duty.” An Feng shook his head and then changing the tone said, “But if we want to win now, we need to concentrate our efforts.
We must cut unnecessary expenses, like that mineral water company, I suggest selling it.”
“No way,” Zhang Xiaohui shook her head, “There’s great potential for success in the mineral water business in the future, we can’t give up easily.”
“Ah.” An Feng sighed, “Let me tell you the truth. That Jiang Xu kid contacted me.
He wants me to tell you that he’ll buy the mineral water company for fifty million.
If you refuse, he’s going to use all of his resources to target you.”
“That scoundrel is so shameless!” Zhang Xiaohui’s expression turned cold. “Why doesn’t he just rob me?
Husband, I don’t want to give up. Just the basic infrastructure and factory buildings there cost one hundred and fifty million.
If he takes it now for fifty million, I’ll suffer a loss of a hundred million!”
“What can we do then?” An Feng shrugged, “That kid is determined.
Besides, by selling we can get additional funds and lose an enemy.
I’m not saying that you should give up on the mineral water business.
We can just put it aside for a while. Once we get through this crisis, it won’t be too late to get involved again.
After all, we first have to secure our core business before we can invest in others.”
Zhang Xiaohui’s eyes flickered.
She then stared at An Feng, “This isn’t some conspiracy you’ve thought up with him, is it?”
“Hehe.” Disappointment registered on An Feng’s face, “After all our time together, it seems that you still have no trust in me.
I don’t want to be involved in this matter anymore. I’ll hand it over to your secretary.”
“Don’t be upset, husband. I was just asking. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you,” Zhang Xiaohui apologized hastily.
She studied An Feng’s expression closely. He did not appear to be lying.
She felt more at ease.
An Feng snorted, still angry.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohui could only try to calm him down.
A few minutes later, An Feng was no longer angry.
He ruffled Zhang Xiaohui’s hair, “Okay, I’ll begin negotiations with that kid.”
“Alright, husband, come here for a kiss.”
Zhang Xiaohui leaned forward, but An Feng avoided her.
After all, a tiger does not eat its cubs…
The next day, Jiang Xu received the fifty million loan.
He met up with the person An Feng had sent over.
As this time it was a full acquisition of a physical business, site inspection was needed.
Jiang Xu invited Lin Xiaoxian to accompany him this time. After all, she was a professional.
He also brought along a few lawyers and an accountant from his company.
So, he needed to take the day off again.
Homeroom teacher: I’m worn out, just end it already.
But he still agreed.
Jiang Xu was the biggest ‘troublemaker’ in the class but his grades had always been stable.
There were tests every other day in the class, and every time, Jiang Xu ranked first.
The homeroom teacher knew that Jiang Xu was already ‘beyond’ the others.
So, he didn’t mind his frequent absences.
Lin Xiaoxian straightforwardly took a flight to Mei City to meet up with Jiang Xu.
Before leaving, An Nuonuo stuffed Jiang Xu’s car with all sorts of things.
Food and drink, supplies, she even brought quite a few medical emergency supplies.
What made Jiang Xu really laugh was when she even stuffed in two cans of wolf repellent spray.
Jiang Xu couldn’t resist pinching her face, “Is it really necessary? We’ve been there before.”
“There’s nothing wrong with being cautious,” An Nuonuo said seriously, inflating her cheeks, “After all, it’s a bit remote there.
Once you get there, remember to call or message me every few hours to assure me.”
Drive slowly on the road, don’t go out alone at night…”
She kept on and on, saying a lot of things.
Jiang Xu smiled as he listened, not showing any impatience at all.
He could clearly feel the girl’s strong affection toward him.
Before An Nuonuo could finish-
Jiang Xu pulled her into a hug..
