Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 308 - 205: Bombs and Nuclear Weapons_3

"That means we need to draw her out."

Chen Cheng voiced his idea, "I will offer a price that your CGG can’t accept. David will be indecisive, and will surely report to her."

"Then, we can confront her face to face to resolve your issue."

Wen Shulin took a deep breath, "That could work."

She then asked, "What is my demand? To keep things as they are?"

Chen Cheng replied, "I’m afraid, she won’t agree to that."

"Then..."

"Actually, before coming here today, I was thinking about a problem."

Chen Cheng said steadily, "You’ve been working so hard to prove yourself. The deal with Xingye Products can make you the chairman of the entire CGG board, but have you ever thought..."

"What?"

A light shone in Chen Cheng’s eyes, "About having your own company. No need to deal with Alina anymore, from now on, you don’t cross paths."

Wen Shulin’s brows furrowed deeply, but in just a few seconds, she grasped Chen Cheng’s meaning, "Are you saying, my trump card is to make Beijing CGG independent?"

"Right, turn Beijing CGG into your own," Chen Cheng nodded firmly, "Could that be worth 30 billion US dollars?"

Wen Shulin pondered briefly and began to analyze, "Although Beijing CGG is only one of CGG’s five major regional divisions, it serves as a beachhead for CGG’s entry into the mainland market. Over the years, it has developed rapidly, accumulating many quality assets."

"Our current managed fund size exceeds 130 billion renminbi, not to mention the equity in several listed companies we’ve invested in, as well as some highly potential unlisted companies."

Wen Shulin had an excellent grasp of Beijing CGG’s business, "Additionally, we’ve invested in some real estate projects and infrastructure construction projects, all of which have been steadily increasing in value."

"If we include Beijing CGG’s fixed assets, networking resources, and brand value, the overall valuation should exceed 30 billion US dollars," she gave a conservative estimate.

Chen Cheng followed up with a question, "How much profit does Beijing CGG make each year?"

"Last year, Beijing CGG’s operating revenue was 23 billion renminbi, with a net profit attributable to the parent of 6.2 billion."

Chen Cheng smiled, "See, that settles it. You can completely negotiate with Alina..."

Before he could finish, Wen Shulin realized something.

She asked, "Husband, do you mean for me to trade Li Ya’s trust for all of this?" freewёbnoνel.com

"You’ve always concealed her identity because you don’t want outsiders to know that she is the daughter of Piert, right?"

Chen Cheng spoke, "Now, this is the best opportunity for a clean break, not just concerning Li Ya’s past but also your involvement with CGG."

"This..."

Wen Shulin hesitated, "Would Alina agree? This would be too much of a loss for her."

"A loss?"

Chen Cheng shook his head, "If Piert’s death is indeed related to her, then what she fears most now is you bringing that incident to light. Once it’s exposed, forget about 30 billion US dollars, everything she has now could turn to smoke."

He analyzed calmly, "If I were her, I would agree to such an exchange. She has little control over Beijing CGG, and now that she’s compromised by the leverage you have, it would be better for her to settle it once and for all and secure the deal, rather than having a drawn-out mess."

Wen Shulin’s emotions were complicated.

Chen Cheng’s words struck a chord in her heart.

Indeed, if she could use this incident to turn Beijing CGG into her own enterprise, it would be the most vivid stroke in the long journey of her life.

From then on, she would be free from her troubled past and truly control her own destiny.

Yet, she was worried that Alina might not agree to this transaction.

After all, as one of the five major CGG regions, Beijing CGG holds significant weight.

Wen Shulin still had concerns, the sheer scale of the transaction was so great she didn’t dare to think about it.

She asked again, "Husband, do you think she will agree?"

Instead of answering directly, Chen Cheng responded with a question, "If you were Alina, what would you choose?"

Wen Shulin fell into thought.

She began to put herself in Alina’s shoes.

If Piert’s death were truly related to her, then her greatest fear was what?

The truth being uncovered, her reputation tarnished!

To keep her secret safe, she would pay any price!

If Wen Shulin’s past Sponsorship Agreement was a ticking timebomb controlled by Alina’s remote.

Then what Chen Cheng held now, for the current Alina, was more like a nuclear bomb.

The explosive force of the two was clearly not on the same level.

As long as she held the item, Wen Shulin could toss it out at any time.

"Alright, I’m willing to try."

Wen Shulin lifted her head, her gaze firm as she looked at Chen Cheng, "For Li Ya, for myself, I must do this."

Chen Cheng regarded the renewed light in her eyes, "This is the Shulin I know."

Wen Shulin looked at him with deep emotion, "Husband, I never imagined things would turn out this way."

She cradled Chen Cheng’s face, "Nor did I imagine you’d help and support me like this."

Wen Shulin’s eyes were slightly red, her tone tinged with a hint of choking up.

These days, she had borne the pressure and threats from Alina alone, never once thinking of involving Chen Cheng.

She always thought she could resolve everything on her own.

However, when Chen Cheng laid out the evidence before her and stood firmly behind her, she realized that she was not fighting alone.

She had a man who loved her, though he could not be her husband.

Yet this man had silently sheltered her from the storm, willing to brave the thorns for her.
