Chapter 783: Chapter 503: Roles Reversed in Attack and Defense

Seeing Qi Yun suddenly appear, Zhou Bin was initially stunned, then sneered: "Qi Yun, this is the Guanghui Group board meeting, what are you doing here?"

"If I remember correctly, you don’t seem to have the qualifications to attend."

Since the situation was already so tense, he decided to go all the way, taking a firm stance so as to make a good impression on the new owner.

Moreover, what he said wasn’t wrong; although the two sides had a cooperative relationship, Qi Yun was merely a director at New Source Power and had no direct connection to Guanghui Group.

Facing Zhou Bin’s provocation, Qi Yun completely ignored him and went straight to the conference table, pulling out an empty chair and sitting down.

Then Liu Guangxin said in a loud voice: "Taking advantage of today’s meeting, I have a matter to announce."

"A couple of days ago, I transferred 1% of my shares to Mr. Qi Yun. Now he is also a shareholder of Guanghui Group, and today’s topic is related to New Source Power. I specifically invited him to attend."

With this statement, people’s expressions varied.

Some showed surprise, while others remained calm, seemingly aware of the inner details.

As for Zhou Bin and Li Maocai, their faces changed; Qi Yun suddenly appeared at this critical moment and became a shareholder of Guanghui Group... their sense of unease intensified.

But the situation had reached this point; there was no turning back once an arrow was shot.

Zhou Bin quickly suppressed his uneasiness and was about to say something else when Qi Yun took the lead in speaking.

"I happened to hear at the door just now; it was President Zhou who said he wanted to sell his shares, right?"

Zhou Bin was momentarily stunned when Qi Yun directly named him, then stuck his neck out and said: "That’s right! I said it! What do you want?"

Qi Yun nodded and said calmly: "Well, since I’ve now become a shareholder of Guanghui Group, according to company charter, I have the right of first refusal."

"I’m quite interested in President Zhou’s shares."

Zhou Bin heard this and laughed coldly: "Heh, the premise of the right of first refusal is under equal conditions."

"I have 6.5% of the shares, and according to the valuation of the three subsidiaries, it’s at least thirty billion; can you come up with that much money?"

He dared to be so brazen today because he calculated that Qi Yun and Liu Guangxin couldn’t come up with the money to acquire his and Li Maocai’s shares.

And the two had already negotiated with Li Xiang Automobile; the latter would acquire all their shares at a 10% premium.

Qi Yun listened to Zhou Bin’s offer and not only showed no difficulty but revealed a somewhat meaningful smile instead.

He clapped his hands, and the door of the conference room was pushed open again, Tao Ziming entered with a folder.

"Let President Zhou sign the transfer agreement."

Zhou Bin’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily, filled with doubt and suspicion.

Can Qi Yun really come up with thirty billion?

This is no joking matter; once the agreement is signed, payment must be completed within the stipulated time, or it would be a breach of contract with huge compensation.

He forced himself to stay calm and looked at the document Tao Ziming placed in front of him, seeing the transaction amount listed as ten billion, he was first stunned then laughed angrily.

"Ten billion? Qi Yun, are you crazy or just not awake?"

"The board meeting is a serious occasion; if you’re here to cause trouble, then please leave immediately!"

Qi Yun smiled nonchalantly and ignored his sarcasm, gesturing to Tao Ziming: "Old Tao, show President Zhou and the board members the evidence."

Tao Ziming nodded, took a tablet from the folder, and connected to the conference room’s projection equipment.

Soon, pictures appeared on the screen, taken at a private club; two people were talking, one of whom was Zhou Bin, and the other was Li Xiang Automobile’s boss.

At the same time, the conference room speakers began playing their conversation.

The conference room was in an uproar!

Zhou Bin’s face turned pale instantly, and he began to sweat profusely.

He never expected his meeting with Li Xiang Automobile’s boss would be photographed, and even the conversation recorded!

This recording mentioned him leading opposition against Liu Guangxin, fully blocking the New Source Power project, and discussing many company secrets.

Just this evidence alone was enough to prove he was selling out company interests and leaking important secrets; he might face prison.

In fact, many people had heard rumors of this matter long ago.

Knowing is one thing, but being exposed with solid evidence is another, with different implications...

Before Zhou Bin could catch his breath, Liu Guangxin gave him another heavy blow!

Liu Guangxin picked up a pile of documents on the table and said sternly: "A side note, someone reported to me that certain high-level officials within the group received huge bribes from engineering contractors for the oil and gas pipeline transport project, and instructed to unlawfully lower acceptance standards, causing three leakage incidents less than a year after construction."

"I’ve decided to set up an investigation team within the group for a comprehensive review of the oil and gas pipeline transport project. If illegal activities are found during investigation, evidence will be directly handed over to the economic investigation department."

Once the words were spoken, the conference room fell silent instantly.

Do we even need to say who those ’certain high-level officials’ refer to?

Liu Guangxin bringing this up at such a time clearly indicates he already has the evidence.

Everyone’s eyes turned uniformly toward Zhou Bin.

Not because they’re surprised he would do such a thing; bribery in engineering projects is a common phenomenon, and everyone tacitly understands it.
