Chapter 17 — After Losing 4 Billion Inheritance, I Made The Whole Family Look Up
Tran Giai Di's post was more concise.
"The world is wide."
"Anything happens."
"A person with ability does not necessarily have morality."
A perfect trio. Three people attacked at the same time. Different tone. But the argument is exactly the same. To Niem Van has money but still competes for the inheritance. Dignity matters. Trieu Ngoc Lan makes a loudspeaker. To Kiet stood next to the fire. Tran Giai Di kicked another kick. The coordination is so thorough that it is impeccable. I finished reading them all. Put the phone down. The other end of the line. To Kha Kha was almost about to cry.
"Ms. Niem Van."
"Please post an explanation."
"Obviously you've never fought for that 4 billion yuan."
"It was they who wanted to give it to To Kiet."
"You didn't even sign the papers relinquishing your inheritance rights."
"I don't explain."
"Why?"
"Because what they need is not the truth."
"What they need is to make me lose face."
"The more I explain."
"They are more enthusiastic."
"So you just let them say that?"
"Not holding back."
"There's no need to worry."
"I can rest assured."
"The time is right."
"I'll make them all shut their mouths."
"But not today."
"I have other things to do today."
I hung up. Send Phuong Di a message.
"Monday, see Ha Tu Hien."
"I personally met."
Phuong Di responded very quickly.
"The location is Thuy Khang headquarters?"
"Placed at a private restaurant in the old town."
"I don't want to meet at the company."
"Too formal."
"First you have to find out what he wants."
"Then discuss the conditions."
I put down the phone. Go to the window. Under the busy traffic road. The city is much busier on weekends than weekdays. There are people everywhere. There is sound everywhere. Trieu Ngoc Lan. Tran Giai Di. These three people are now tied together on the same rope. The goal is very clear. Destroy my reputation in the To family. Can't touch my money. Then it touches my personality.
"What about tens of billions of yuan?"
"In the eyes of relatives."
"Still just someone pretending to be poor to get pity."
But they don't know. Something I've been paying attention to ever since. It's never been the way my relatives see me. What I care about. It's an old man over eighty years old. In the end, do you understand something or not? The niece that he himself pushed away. From start to finish. Never treated him badly. Monday noon. The restaurant's private room is not large. A round table made of red wood. Two teapots. Three plates of cold food. Ha Tu Hien arrived five minutes earlier than the scheduled time. When you see me. His eyes wavered slightly. But he quickly regained his composure.
"General Manager To."
"Admired for a long time."
"Please sit down."
He sat down. Adjust the collar.
"I have met General Director Phuong many times."
"Still guessing who the person behind Thuy Khang is."
"I didn't expect it to be so young."
"You've gone too far."
"Not at all."
"I investigated very carefully."
"But General Manager To's influence."
"Still much bigger than I expected."
He proactively goes straight to the point.
"General Manager To."
"The purpose of Chinh Nguyen Holdings this time is very simple."
"We highly appreciate Thuy Khang's prospects."
"Want to become a long-term strategic investor."
"There is no intention to fight for control."
"I can commit in writing."
"Do not participate in admin voting."
"Do not interfere with activities daily operations."
"Conditions?"
"I want an observer seat on the board."
"No voting rights."
"Only attending."
"Consider it buying yourself some peace of mind."
I looked at him.
"In your hand, you currently have 5% of the shares."
"Worth more than 11 billion yuan."
"You put in so much effort to get in."
"Just for an auditorium chair?"
He laughed.
"As expected, General Manager To is very straightforward."
"Then I add one more condition."
"If in the next three years Thuy Khang conducts a new round of capital raising or carries out mergers and acquisitions of businesses."
"Chinh Nguyen Holdings will enjoy priority rights to contribute capital proportionally."
This condition is not a light one. Priority in capital contribution means that in each round of capital raising. He can continue to put money in according to the proportion of shares he holds. Lock ownership rate. Do not let shares be diluted. I raised my cup of tea. Take a sip.
"I have heard your conditions clearly."
"I will discuss it with my team."
"But there is a premise."
"Please General Manager To speak."
"Every move of Chinh Nguyen in Thuy Khang."
"Foreign affairs can only be used as an expression."
"Strategic investment."
"Not a hostile takeover."
"It's not speculation to make a profit and then sell it off."
"If the media asks."
"You can only answer one question."
"'Long-term optimism with Thuy Khang.'"
"If there are trust issues between us."
"I will activate the buyback priority."
"Kick me out of the game."
Ha Tu Hien's hand on the table paused for a second. Then he burst out laughing.
"General Manager To works very principled."
"I like that."
He held out his hand. I caught it.
"Happy cooperation, President Ha."
"Happy cooperation."
While having a meal. Ha Tu Hien suddenly mentioned something.
"General Manager To."
"In the process of learning about Thuy Khang."
"Someone proactively contacted me."
"Claims to be your family member."
The chopsticks in my hand stopped.
"What did they say?"
"Say you've turned against your family."
"Saying the origin of your assets is not transparent."
"He also advised me to 'consider carefully before cooperating'."
"Don't leave a name."
"Call twice."
"It's all landline numbers."
I don't ask anymore. Desk phone. The number at To Kiet's office is the landline. The phone number at Trieu Ngoc Lan's old villa is also a landline.
"If there are similar calls in the future."
"Just ignore it."
"I do investing based on data and business structure."
"Do not rely on gossip or personal relationships."
After the party ended. Phuong Di waited for me downstairs.
"It's done."
"His conditions are negotiable."
"The details are for legal and their team to handle."
"There's one more thing."
Phuong Di gave me an envelope.
"The company receptionist received it this morning."
"No sender."
