I'm back in 1990

Chapter 545: My grandfather's name is Huang Yansheng

Zhang Yun had no idea that her grandfather would make such a seemingly tempting suggestion to Huang Xiaochuan.

Because she did not tell her family what she did in the United States. Even her mother, Xue Huilan, only knew that Zhang Yun was making financial investments, but she knew nothing about how she did it or how much she earned.

Furthermore, due to the strained relationship between Xue Huilan and her half-brother Xue Bingkang, Xue Huilan has been living with her daughter in the United States and rarely returns to Singapore. Moreover, Xue Huilan doesn't want Xue Bingkang or her elderly father, Xue Xiangsheng, to know about her daughter's situation. In addition, the fact that Zhang Yun gave birth to twins before marriage makes the traditionally-minded Xue Huilan ashamed to let others know.

Therefore, Xue Xiangsheng did not know how much Huang Xiaochuan was really worth, but believed that Huang Xiaochuan had received a lot of benefits from Zhang Yun.

Moreover, Xue Xiangsheng said that he would hand over the Xue Group to Huang Xiaochuan to manage in the future, but in reality, he just wanted a donkey to pull the millstone for the Xue family.

In other words, in the future, most of the shares of Xue Group held by Xue Xiangsheng will be left to Xue Bingkang, and a small portion will be left to his granddaughter Zhang Yun. As for Huang Xiaochuan, he should never be given any shares. What Xue Xiangsheng wants are long-term workers to work for the Xue family, and he does not want to hand over the Xue family's business to outsiders.

Because it's obvious that Xue Bingkang, the eldest son of the Xue Group, is all show and no substance. If the Xue Group were handed over to him, he might squander it in a few years. Bankruptcy is unlikely, though, since Xue Xiangsheng, who is more timid with age, has already arranged a way out (trust) for his son.

Moreover, Xue Bingkang's two daughters only enjoy socializing and shopping, and have no interest in the family business. Furthermore, both of his granddaughters are already married, and Xue Xiangsheng has also sent people to investigate Xue Bingkang's illegitimate son, who is found to be mediocre and unable to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the Xue family in the future.

However, Xue Xiangsheng still did not want his hard-earned business empire to fall apart. After learning about Huang Xiaochuan's existence and hearing some information about Huang Xiaochuan from his granddaughter Zhang Yun and daughter Xue Huilan, Xue Xiangsheng had this idea.

That's why he tested Huang Xiaochuan, wanting to see just how outstanding this young man his granddaughter had chosen was. Becoming an associate professor before the age of thirty was nothing in Xue Xiangsheng's eyes. The key was whether he was really a business prodigy, as his granddaughter Zhang Yun had said.

That response strategy proved Huang Xiaochuan's ability, which led to their conversation in the study today.

Xue Xiangsheng was so impatient because he knew his time was running out. If he didn't find a reliable leader for the Xue Group as soon as possible, the group's future would certainly be bleak.

The shrewd and experienced Xue Xiangsheng had calculated everything, but he never expected that the young man sitting in front of him was actually a deeply hidden financial tycoon.

Huang Xiaochuan had absolutely no interest in Xue Xiangsheng's proud Xue Group.

So when Xue Xiangsheng presented what he considered to be very generous terms, Huang Xiaochuan refused without even thinking, and was quite annoyed that he was being asked to divorce his wife? If it weren't for the fact that the old man was quite old and that he was Zhang Yun's maternal grandfather, Huang Xiaochuan would have already turned on him.

"Mr. Xue, I respect you as an elder, which is why I accepted your invitation. However, I cannot agree with your approach, and I have absolutely no interest in your Xue Group."

After saying this, Huang Xiaochuan stood up and looked at Xue Xiangsheng with deep eyes; "Sir, your tea is good, but your idea is dangerous."

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was unmoved and even looked angry, Xue Xiangsheng, who had been in the business world for many years, did not give up. In his view, this was like negotiating a business deal. The reason why the deal failed was because the benefits were not enough. Since that was the case, then he would give more benefits.

"You've studied the information I gave you, so you should know very well how big the Xue Group is, young man. It's worth hundreds of billions of dollars! As long as you agree to my conditions, I'll make sure you're the chairman of the Xue Group within five years."

Huang Xiaochuan's patience had worn thin. He pointed to the telephone in the study and asked, "Can this phone make international calls?"

Xue Xiangsheng didn't know what Huang Xiaochuan wanted to do, but he still nodded: "Of course."

Huang Xiaochuan made a phone call, and then gave his instructions in front of Xue Xiangsheng.

"it's me."

"The Singapore-based Xue Group has several large loans to its oil refinery in Malaysia, from XX Bank and XX Bank. You need to contact these two banks immediately, buy the claims on these loans from them, and once you have the claims, submit a full takeover offer to me to take over the oil refinery."

Xue Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard Huang Xiaochuan's words.

After speaking with Zhang Sui on the phone, Huang Xiaochuan hung up and looked at Xue Xiangsheng.

"Sir, I think your oil refinery will soon no longer belong to your Xue Group. I want to use this method to tell you that I don't need anyone to teach me how to do things! Especially not to interfere in my family affairs. I also want to tell you that I have already restrained myself for Zhang Yun's sake, otherwise I would have targeted the entire Xue Group."

Huang Xiaochuan then walked out of Xue Xiangsheng's study, only to bump into Zhang Yun, who had been waiting at the door.

Huang Xiaochuan then told her, "Put down all your work. I'll have someone hand over the work to you. You don't need to worry about it anymore."

Huang Xiaochuan wanted to strip Zhang Yun of all her authority, leaving her only as a shareholder; it was better to be cautious.

"Why?" Zhang Yun asked, inquiring about the reason after hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words.

Huang Xiaochuan pointed angrily at the study: "You shouldn't be asking me that, go ask your grandfather!"

"My maternal grandfather?" Zhang Yun really didn't know what her maternal grandfather was talking about with Huang Xiaochuan.

Huang Xiaochuan then led his men away from the Xue family's old residence.

Seeing that she couldn't stop Huang Xiaochuan, Zhang Yun stomped her foot in frustration and went into the study.

"Grandpa, what did you say to him? Why was he so angry?"

Xue Xiangsheng was also very angry: "Arrogant! This brat doesn't know his place and spouts nonsense in front of me."

Zhang Yun exclaimed anxiously, "Oh dear! Grandpa, what did you say to him? Tell me quickly!"

Xue Xiang angrily slammed his cane down: "He doesn't know what's good for him. I told him to divorce his wife and marry you, and I even planned to hand over the Xue Group to him in the future. Not only did he refuse, but he also made a phone call to someone right in front of me, saying he wanted to acquire our Xue Group's oil refinery. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun finally understood what had happened.

Then, annoyed, she said, "Grandpa, why did you say that to him?"

Xue Xiangsheng: "I'm doing this for your own good! Do you plan to be a single mother for the rest of your life?"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xue Xiangsheng, Zhang Yun said helplessly, "Don't worry about my business. You should focus on your oil refinery! He's definitely not joking with you."

At that moment, Uncle Dong knocked on the door and came in, holding a telephone in his hand.

"Sir, Mr. Cui, the chairman of XX Bank, is looking for you!"

Xue Xiangsheng immediately picked up the phone from Uncle Dong's hand.

He said with a smile, "Old Cui, long time no see!"

However, Xue Xiangsheng's smile quickly vanished: "What? Hong Kong Avenue Group says they want to acquire the debt of our Xue's Refinery from your bank?"

Xue Xiangsheng quickly ended his call with Chairman Cui, and then received a call from a director of another bank, with the same content as what Chairman Cui had just said.

For banks, the good-quality rate of refinery loans is declining due to the Southeast Asian economic crisis. They were already worried about these loans, so it was like a windfall for someone to take over their claims. How could they not agree? Although there were still procedures to go through, an agreement had been reached over the phone.

If it weren't for their long-standing cooperative relationship with the Xue family, the two bank directors wouldn't have made that call to Xue Xiangsheng.

Xue Xiangsheng then took it seriously; it turned out that the young man really wasn't bluffing him.

Xue Xiangsheng then remembered to ask Zhang Yun, "Yun'er, who exactly is he?"

Zhang Yun didn't dare to tell her grandfather too much about Huang Xiaochuan's true situation, after all, she had signed a strict confidentiality agreement.

However, she still revealed some information to her grandfather.

"I can only tell you that the entire Xue Group's assets are less than one-tenth of his Hong Kong businesses, and he currently has ample cash flow (profits from shorting the Nasdaq)."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xiangsheng couldn't help but gasp.

He looked at his granddaughter with some disbelief.

Seeing Xue Xiangsheng's expression, Zhang Yun complained, "I know you don't believe it, but it's the truth. Just you wait and see! The oil refinery will change hands soon. It's all your fault for showing him all of Xue's information. Now even a god can't save you."

Zhang Yun was saying that the Xue Group's cash flow was currently very tight. Originally, Huang Xiaochuan shouldn't have known about this situation, but Xue Xiangsheng gave Huang Xiaochuan a lot of information about the Xue Group in order to test him. As a result, Huang Xiaochuan followed the clues and found out the whole situation of the Xue Group. Wasn't this just handing the knife handle to Huang Xiaochuan?

It's like Xue Xiangsheng accidentally shot himself in the foot with a rock.

After leaving the Xue family's old house, Huang Xiaochuan went directly to Shengtao Bay Villa. Since he had already bought a house here, it would be a waste to stay in a hotel.

Moreover, the villas in Singapore are all delivered fully furnished and equipped, truly allowing you to move in with just your bags.

Even if there are any shortcomings, the community provides comprehensive services. You can simply tell the community service staff what you need, although the cost will naturally be quite high.

After returning to his house, Huang Xiaochuan instructed Mai Guangde to find the Shengtao Bay community service staff to purchase some daily necessities. He then sat under the wide eaves, gazing at the sea and calming his emotions.

Mai Guangde returned quickly, but he was followed by another person.

"Mr. Huang! Mr. Richard, the sales director of Jiaming Group, is looking for you!"

Huang Xiaochuan turned his head and wondered what he was doing here.

However, I still politely asked, "Is there something you need?"

As luck would have it, Richard happened to run into Huang Yanguang, the chairman of the board of directors of their Jiaming Group, that afternoon. Although the old man was almost seventy-five, he looked like he was in his sixties, mainly because he took good care of his health.

Wanting to get closer to Huang Yanguang, Richard told Huang Yanguang about Huang Xiaochuan buying a house.

When Huang Yanguang learned from Richard that Huang Xiaochuan, despite his youth, had spent tens of millions of Singapore dollars to buy the largest villa in Seng Tao Bay without batting an eye, and coincidentally, that the young man's ancestral home was also in Yuexi, Shazhou, and that he also had the surname Huang.

Huang Yanguang immediately wanted to meet Huang Xiaochuan. After all, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know a young man who could throw out tens of millions to buy a luxury house. He could also ask about things in his hometown.

So Richard, having received his mission, came to find Huang Xiaochuan, on behalf of Huang Yanguang, the chairman of the board of directors of their Jiaming Group, to invite Huang Xiaochuan to a dinner party at his home that evening.

When Huang Xiaochuan learned of Richard's purpose, he immediately agreed. He also wanted to meet this fellow townsman, because the character "Yan" in Huang Yanguang's name corresponded perfectly with the phrase "Dao Yan Shan Shui, Ze Bei Cang Sheng" in the Huang family genealogy.

For example, Lao Huang's full name is "Huang Shanyuan", so he belongs to the "Shan" generation, while Huang Xiaochuan and his two brothers belong to the "Shui" generation.

Huang Xiaochuan's grandfather, who had passed away long ago, was named "Huang Yansheng," so Huang Xiaochuan felt that this Chairman Huang seemed to have some connection with his family.

Chairman Huang's residence is located in the Bukit Timah area of ​​Singapore, a low-density residential area. In Singapore, where land is precious, the houses here are naturally not cheap.

The Huang residence is smaller than the Xue family's old residence, but it is still over a thousand square meters. Before even reaching the villa, Huang Xiaochuan could see many people standing at the door through the car window.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the door was opened from the outside.

Huang Xiaochuan saw an elderly man standing at the door waiting for him, so he quickly got out of the car and went to greet him.

He said politely, "I am truly flattered by Chairman Huang's personal welcome!"

Huang Yanguang smiled and extended his hand, speaking in a strong Shazhou accent: "Mr. Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After shaking hands, Huang Yanguang invited Huang Xiaochuan into the house.

After Huang Xiaochuan handed the gifts he brought to Huang Yanguang's butler, Huang Yanguang invited Huang Xiaochuan to sit down, and the two began to chat.

"I heard that Mr. Huang is from Shazhou, and that made me feel homesick, so I took the liberty of having someone invite you to my home."

Huang Xiaochuan said politely, "It should be me visiting Mr. Huang. It's such a coincidence to meet Mr. Huang, who is also from Yuexi, in Singapore."

Huang Yanguang asked, "Mr. Huang, may I ask which part of Yuexi you are from?"

Huang Xiaochuan naturally knew this. Although he had never lived in Yuexi, he had gone back to Yuexi with Lao Huang to pay respects to their ancestors a few times.

"From Gaoquan Village, Yuexi."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanguang's heart suddenly raced, and he couldn't help but stare at Huang Xiaochuan and scrutinize him closely.

He immediately asked Huang Xiaochuan, "What's your grandfather's name? Do you know?"

"Hehe, what a coincidence. My name is only one character different from Mr. Huang's. My grandfather's name is Huang Yansheng."
