Chapter 16 — Check for Twenty Million and Trillion Billion

“It's your money, I don't care how you want to spend it.” His voice turned cold. "But Thu Thach Capital is a family trust asset, not your personal wallet. You use the trust money for personal purposes... this point alone is enough for me to request an early inspection."

He picked up his coat and walked out the door.

"I'll give you three days to think. If you agree to give up 30% of the management rights of Thu Thach Capital... I will not complain."

"30%? Are you dreaming?"

“Then wait for the test.”

The door opened. The wind chimes rang loudly. He left. I stood behind the counter, my fingertips resting on the spine of the book, not moving. Diep Trong Thanh... Eight years ago, the beast was cornered and could only roar. And now— He knows how to bite in the right place. He no longer tries to overturn the will. But they started playing by the rules—using the terms in the will... to gain power. Indeed, a loophole has been revealed. Thu Thach Capital's investment in Luc Thi... in terms of price, is at least 20% higher. If Diep Trong Thanh hires an independent auditor, this deal will easily be concluded as an "unreasonable decision". And once the family council was forced to re-evaluate—

“You're thinking of a way to close that hole, right?”

Since when did Khuong Tieu Ngu stand at the door?

“Can you cover it?”

“Okay. But it takes time.”

Coinciding... with the deadline he gave.

“What are you going to do?”

“Raise Luc Thi's valuation in three days.” I speak frankly. “As long as the valuation is high enough to justify the investment, Diep Trong Thanh's entire claim will collapse.”

“What kind of price increase?”

“Hai Van Loan.” I looked at her. "As long as this project operates normally again and has data for sale... Luc Thi's valuation will at least double."

“But the supply chain just resumed—”

“So it takes three days.” I said very calmly. “Three days to pull the opening sales figures out.”

“Three days? Sounds like a movie—”

“Call Chu Ngan.” I interrupted. "Tell him to contact Luc Dien Chu. Hai Van Loan must open for sale within 72 hours."

Khuong Tieu Ngu looked at me, half helpless and half admiring.

“Diep Tri Thu... you're betting again.”

"Are not." I shook my head. “This time it's not a bet.”

“So what is it?”

“It's the last move.”

Seventy-two hours. Day one. Luc Dien Chu directly followed the Hai Van Loan construction site. All material suppliers worked overtime all night. Three suppliers in the Thu Thach Capital ecosystem cooperate fully. Material trucks run 24/7. The construction site was as bright as day. Day two. Model house is open. The sales team was deployed overnight. I mobilized Thu Thach's real estate analysis team remotely to create an extremely detailed market report - Target customer positioning, pricing strategy, absorption. In the report there is a key number— Compared to surrounding projects and location advantages, the fair value of Hai Van Loan... is 40% higher than the old valuation. This report will be confirmed by an independent evaluation organization. Day three. Official opening for sale. 9 a.m.—registrations begin. 14:00—First 200 units reach 87%. 18 hours—98% success rate. Luc Dien Chu's phone rang. His voice… softened for the first time.

“Tri Thu… Hai Van Loan has exploded.”

"Do you know? Since early morning, the entire sales room has been lined up. Some customers said they have been waiting for this project for a long time and are only now reopening."

“Thank you.”

"No thanks. Your project is already good."

"Are not." He smiled softly. “I thank you… not only for Hai Van Loan.”

“So why?”

"Because I trusted you from the beginning. Even though I had 120 billion yuan... I still chose to help you, not replace you."

My hand tightened on the phone.

“Luc Dien Chu.”

“The tea I made… is also very bad.”

He laughed. After the sale data was complete— Chu Ngan immediately compiled it into a complete investment report. Based on Luc Thi's opening performance and overall strength, an investment of 500 million yuan in exchange for a 15% stake... is not only reasonable— but also buying cheaply. Luc Thi's reasonable valuation at this time: about 4,800 million yuan. 15% is equivalent to 720 million yuan. Thu Thach Capital used 500 million yuan to get 720 million yuan in value. It's not about paying high— It's about buying at a bargain. Includes on-sale data + third-party confirmation— No audit can refute. Diep Trong Thanh's "irrational investment" accusation... officially collapsed. Day four. He turned around. Still a bookstore. But this time— His complexion was much worse.

“I think… you have seen the Hai Van Loan data.” I looked at him.

He did not reply.
