Chapter 516: 516 The beast Tang Wu
Elsewhere, at the manor, Tang Wu hurriedly boarded a private jet back to the family to discuss Zhao An's terms. He reviewed the terms on the plane; they were a bit ridiculous. While they weren't exactly the kind that took the lion's share, the terms were truly disgusting, even repulsive.
Arriving in the back hall, Tang Wu recounted his experiences and handed over the disk of information Zhao An had given him.
"This Zhao An's terms are outrageous. He wants not only money but also people, and he wants us to choose our own. What does he think of us? I'm furious, but even now, the information they possess is no less advanced than what the Shanxing Group possesses, and perhaps even more. The greater good must be prioritized." Tang Wu said with some bitterness. "I feel guilty for not being able to protect my sister and aunt."
These elders were all perverts, but they maintained a basic bottom line: they wouldn't mess around with women within the family. First, they were relatives, and second, it wouldn't end well. They'd rather have a woman outside than have sex with someone close to home. It wasn't a question of convenience; it was a question of how bad it would end.
The elders looked around before finally returning to the leader, Ming Bo.
Zhao An's conditions weren't excessive, nor were they easy to meet. The first condition was that in future industries, he could either receive a 10% royalty on each transaction or a 20% monthly net profit from the related technology industry. Both were options.
The second condition was a bit more intriguing. He named four women at once: Tang Yuanxiu and Tang Wenxiu, both mature sisters. In addition to Tang Yin, who had been used for the marriage, there was also Qian Yuling.
Wow, to be able to name all four women in one go, he was quite fearless.
Tang Yuanxiu was a direct descendant; she was just trying to please the old lady. She had no special skills or connections, but she did have influence, not a small one.
Tang Wenxiu was also a direct descendant's niece. She was indeed very capable in her business. She had never taken advantage of her position as purchasing manager and had always performed very well. The two sisters were at opposite ends of the spectrum: one a gentle and virtuous housewife, the other a fierce, fierce woman who frequented nightclubs.
Tang Yin was a bit easier to deal with, even though she was supposedly being used for a marriage alliance. It was just that they had previously discussed this with the Shanxing Group, but nothing actually happened. Zhao An, however, despised her reputation. She was fine as an accessory, but not as the primary female accessory. No, more like an accessory.
The main target was still the two mature sisters, Tang Yuanxiu and Tang Wenxiu. This was a test. To see if the Tang family would sell off their own female members for profit. If they were willing, it would prove that the Tang family's current situation was not optimistic, that it was indeed precarious. Otherwise, a normal family would never allow such a thing to happen, nor would they accept such a shameful outcome.
The final condition, Qian Yuling, was a bit intriguing. Qian Yuling wields a quarter of the power in the Tang family. Even if she were to step down and hand over the reins to her son, would she truly believe her words would be irrelevant? That's naive.
Even the Council of Elders couldn't do anything with Qian Yuling. They could restrain her within certain rules, but they couldn't force her into the emperor's bedchamber with a firm command. They couldn't even do that themselves.
Ming Bo frowned as he looked at the information in his hand. "Xiao Wu, have you compared the technology to see which one is more advantageous for us?"
"I have. I consulted experts within the group and professors at research institutes. As far as cooperation is concerned, Zhao An's information is clearly superior. However, Shanxing Group's technology is more mature and more trustworthy," Tang Wu said with a serious expression.
One is a well-established, established group, while the other is a relatively newcomer. From this point of view, the larger group is clearly more convincing and more trustworthy.
"But in terms of value for money, Zhao An's asking price, excluding the women, is less than half of what Shanxing Group is charging. And they can even buy on credit, with settlement to be made later. This is fantastic news for us right now; it's like getting something for nothing with just a few women. But if we want my aunts and the others to commit themselves, and for a long-term relationship, that's a bit more difficult. It's hard for them, and for me, too," Tang Wu said hypocritically, but inwardly he harbored a sense of disdain.
In Tang Wu's view, women are all meant to be fucked. The difference lies in who fucks them. A capable man can enjoy more women, while an incompetent man can remain single.
Even if the woman he gave away was his own sister, Tang Wu felt no emotion at all, even feeling a little like laughing. And let alone his two aunts, who didn't stir the slightest emotion.
"The elders can appeal to our feelings and reason, so there's no problem with that. But your mother's condition is unacceptable, and we can't meet it. The fact that she's offering that condition means she has no intention of cooperating with us. Humph!" Ming Bo was a little annoyed. This was pure provocation, a sign of distrust!
"I think this is negotiable. Zhao An is a pervert, a sex addict. There are many ways to cooperate. We sent him two virgin celebrities that my company previously trained, and they worked well, which is how we got the opportunity to work together. If my mother is having difficulties, we can definitely change our approach." Tang Wu began to speak freely, completely shameless. He treated his mother like a commodity, which was simply shameless.
"I think we should do both. We can send someone to talk to Yuling. She controls too many resources. If she ever tries to become independent, it would be a huge blow to the family. She must be punished. This cooperation opportunity is a great opportunity, and we should seize it," another bald elder said.
