Chapter 566 - Don’t Blame Me for Being Ruthless (2)
Just one week? Some of the shareholders felt troubled. Faced with such a cunning and vicious devil, how could they step back and wash their hands from this mess? Feng Tianyi was giving them an ultimatum to deliver the final blow to their own company!
"I suggest you use your heads better this time. If you insist on going against Qing Tian Group, don't blame me for being ruthless. I shall make sure that there will never be any future for those who dared to go against us!" Those were Feng Tianyi's final words before he turned around after giving his piece to the rest of the shareholders of Zion Inc.
After that, Feng Tianyi didn't waste any more time and left President Cai and the rest of the shareholders trembling in their seats. This… was this really the end of their company?
President Cai almost puke blood right then and there. He wanted to follow Feng Tianyi and give him a piece of his mind, but what could he say? That this wasn't the end of Zion Inc.?
They turned their heads to look at Cai Jiahao, whose face lost all its colors the moment Feng Tianyi delivered his ultimatum. This was all Cai Jiahao's fault! They all thought the same. Because he was greedy and ambitious, he wanted to swallow the lion whole without knowing that it was just playing with them all this time.
These men were greedy when they heard what could get from Qing Tian Group's remains once it fell down. They had all willingly joined in on kicking Qing Tian Group when they had a chance, but now that they were in a disadvantageous position, they were willing to throw Cai Jiahao under the bus to save themselves.
Friends? What friends? There was no friendship between them as they were only here with Cai Jiahao for the sole purpose of earning money from Zion Inc. that he had worked hard to establish over the years.
Right now, they all thought of how naive and stupid they were to underestimate Feng Tianyi. He might have been absent for the past years, but no one really knew what he was up to.
Only after he appeared a few months ago and established Xiao Xing Diamond Co. did they hear about Feng Tianyi's return. At first, they all thought that Xiao Xing would eventually disappear on its own, just like Feng Tianyi's businesses before.
However, now, Xiao Xing was making its name known for being one of the newest and largest diamond distributors in the country. Just with that, they should have guessed that Feng Tianyi wasn't the same person as he was six years ago.
Now, they had no other choice but to allow Qing Tian Group to swallow Zion Inc. whole or see it get destroyed by the devil himself. The devil had turned the table against them this time and they were in it so deep that it was impossible to save themselves and their interest if they did not abandon Cai Jiahao.
Feng Tianyi had already left, but his assistant remained inside the meeting room as if he expected some of them would sell their shares on the spot after giving it some thought.
After a long silence within the meeting room, one of the shareholders signed the doc.u.ment in his hand, much to everyone's shock. He then stood up and passed the doc.u.ment to Feng Tianyi's waiting assistant.
"Mr. Wen, what's the meaning of this?" President Cai asked incredulously. He couldn't believe that one of the major shareholders of his company had willingly signed and sold his share to the devil right in front of him.
"It is what it is, President Cai." The man sighed. "In fact, I expected that this might happen and that is why I never agreed with your decision in the first place. Feng Tianyi isn't a person who would allow another person to play with him. He's the one doing the playing and you are his subject, whether you are aware of it or not." He explained, leaving Cai Jiahao speechless in his spot.
"Anyway, it's better for me to cut my losses now before Feng Tianyi raises the stake and takes this attack on Qing Tian Group personally. I cannot lose my family business because of something like this." Mr. Wen said before leaving the meeting room.
The rest of the shareholders that were left glanced at each other, then looked at President Cai's troubled face. He was the one who brought this disaster to them, so why was he trembling in fear now?
Where was the arrogant man who convinced them that the lion had lost its claws and the devil had nothing else in his arsenal to strike back? The Qing Tian Group was still as powerful and mighty even without Song Huifen around.
Even without the empress dowager, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to take advantage of the situation when the devil was around to protect it on her behalf.
Feng Tianyi had played them well this time. He increased the purchasing price to force Zion Inc. to spend more money on acquiring some of the shares of Qing Tian Group without them realizing that they had the capacity to spend billions of dollars, unlike Zion Inc.
"I'm sorry President Cai but Mr. Wen is right." Another shareholder signed the papers in his hand and handed it to Feng Tianyi's assistant. "A good businessman should know when to stop and cut his losses." He said and was followed by the others.
President Cai's face blanched as he watched his colleagues sign the papers on their hands, one after another. Weren't they the same people whom he'd been with when he started Zion Inc.? Why were they turning their backs on him now?
Alas, a person could only rely on himself in the end. To protect their personal interests, these people were willing to burn bridges to save themselves. And just like that, Tang Moyu's prediction that Zion Inc. would crumble from the inside happened.
