Chapter 158 Gains and Losses

Tao Yicheng has been feeling irritable lately.

He took out 150,000 yuan and asked Yao Xihu to deal with Wei Hongsi, but the guy dragged his feet for two days without making a move, saying that there were two targets and he needed to pay more.

Tao Yicheng then told Tai Liqun about the situation. Tai Liqun saw the photos Yao Xihu had secretly taken, recognized Xia Shiyu, and immediately became furious, telling Tao Yicheng that both of them needed to be dealt with.

So Tao Yicheng gave Yao Xihu an extra 50,000 yuan, telling him to hurry up and take action, but not to cause any deaths. The two payments totaled 200,000 yuan, all in cash.

But Tao Yicheng had no idea that Yao Xihu would make his move that night. As usual, he had a few drinks with his friends, played a few rounds of cards, and then went to his mistress's house.

He had just finished showering and lay down on the bed when four strong young men suddenly barged into the bedroom.

For a moment, his mind was in a very chaotic state.

Was it my wife catching me cheating? I've been divorced for years! Or was it her kept man? She can't possibly be keeping four at once!

Then someone asked, "You and Tai Liqun hired someone to commit the murder, who was the mastermind?"

Tao Yicheng was still not fully sober and subconsciously said, "It was him, not me."

The man who asked the question nodded: "He's all we need. Come with us!"

Tao Yicheng suddenly realized: "You're police officers?"

Even after he was dressed, handcuffed, and put into a car without police insignia, he couldn't believe what he was experiencing was real.

No one spoke to him on the way, giving him time to reflect on things.

Tao Yicheng made a lot of money in his early years by contracting and subcontracting projects through connections. Later, when those connections disappeared, he withdrew completely at a very low cost, and was very proud of his shrewdness.

By then, he had accumulated considerable wealth and began investing in other industries. He made some profits and some losses, but his total assets continued to grow steadily.

Tao Yicheng's investment in Zhiwei stemmed from a drinking party. He had drunk quite a bit that day and boldly declared that he would invest at least 200 million yuan.

He regretted it after sobering up, because he had no idea what Zhiwei did, and at the time he only had a little over 200 million yuan in cash.

But the people at the dinner party that day were all socialites, especially the person who introduced him, who had helped him a lot in the past. If he went back on his word, he would have no future in this circle.

To his surprise, the two hundred million yuan he had been forced to invest turned out to be the most worthwhile investment, and over the years he has received more than four hundred million yuan in dividends from Zhiwei alone.

Before the shareholders' meeting at the beginning of last year, Dai Songquan approached him about a share acquisition, offering 16 billion yuan. This greatly tempted Tao Yicheng, because at that time he had lost a lot of money in futures trading and desperately needed a large sum of money to recover his losses. Being able to cash out and secure his profits would indeed be very attractive.

But soon Tai Liqun approached him again, did some calculations for him, and said that if Zhiwei went public, his shares would be worth at least 40 billion yuan. He also said that all the shareholders wanted Zhiwei to go public, and this meeting would be to discuss this matter.

The difference between 40 billion and 16 billion was too great, and Tao Yicheng sided with Tai Liqun almost without any hesitation.

Unexpectedly, after more than a year of effort, the IPO was about to fall through.

Even more fatally, during that year and a half, Tao Yicheng took Zhiwei's listing as his confidence and became increasingly bold in the futures market. As a result, he not only lost all his savings but also owed the bank more than a billion yuan.

By this point, he had come to see the IPO of Zhiwei as his only lifeline. Anyone who stood in his way was his enemy.

So when Tai Liqun suggested giving Wei Hongsi a warning and warning Dai Songquan, he agreed without hesitation.

As for who would make the move, Tao Yicheng immediately thought of Yao Xihu.

Yao Xihu had worked as a foreman under Tao Yicheng, helping him manage the workers. Later, Tao Yicheng realized that subcontracting was more profitable than contracting, so he dismissed all the workers, leaving only Yao Xihu and a few others to handle matters on the subcontracted construction sites.

After Tao Yicheng stopped working in construction, he gave Yao Xihu a settlement allowance. Seven or eight years later, the two met by chance. Tao Yicheng was still a big boss, but Yao Xihu had become a good-for-nothing loafer.

At that time, Tao Yicheng had a troublesome matter that he couldn't handle personally, so he gave Yao Xihu some money to help him deal with it. From then on, the two established a special employment relationship: one paid the other to resolve the matter.

……

……

Tai Liqun is very popular recently.

First, he was tricked by Xia Shiyu, and then he was publicly ridiculed by Wei Hongsi during a meeting. These juniors are simply inhuman!

Liu Chengyi and Hua Hong are no good either. They went to fawn over Dai Songquan right after the meeting. They have absolutely no principles!

These short-sighted people have no idea that going public is the best choice for everyone, including Zhiwei.

Dai Songquan was completely blinded by his immediate success.

Few companies in this world can maintain their success indefinitely, especially those in cutting-edge technology industries. Sometimes, a single misjudgment can cause a company's growth to plummet. How many large companies have fallen because of this in recent years?

Zhiwei's current senior management team does not hold any equity, so of course they don't want the company to go public like this. It's these parasites who have coerced Dai Songquan.

Therefore, they should be given a warning to calm Dai Songquan and those executives down. That young man named Wei Hongsi, who is arrogant and ignorant, is very suitable to be the target of this warning.

Tai Liqun often heard Tao Yicheng boast about his extensive network and numerous methods, so he discussed it with him.

The result did not disappoint Tai Liqun. Tao Yicheng guaranteed that he could get things done, but everyone would have to contribute money, which is the same principle as jointly investing in a company.

Tai Liqun readily agreed and immediately transferred 300,000 yuan to Tao Yicheng. As long as things could be handled smoothly, 300,000 yuan was fine. Tao Yicheng was in charge of finding the right people, so it was reasonable for him to pay a little more.

Two days later, Tao Yicheng sent a photo, saying that there were two targets and he needed to pay more.

When Tai Liqun saw that the extra person was Xia Shiyu, what a coincidence! So without saying a word, he transferred another 300,000 yuan to Tao Yicheng, telling him to make sure the matter was handled well.

After spending the money, Tai Liqun began waiting for news.

When he got home that night, he saw his son drinking with a group of bad friends. He was furious and gave his son a good scolding.

From criticizing his studies to criticizing his friendships, from criticizing his extravagant lifestyle to criticizing his failed business ventures, for some reason he thought of Wei Hongsi again and couldn't help but criticize him even more fiercely.

His son was already furious when he saw his friend run away after being scolded, and when he saw his father continuing to berate him, he couldn't help but retort.

You say my business failed, but didn't you lose even more money in your investment failures? Are those 3 billion+ yuan in bank debts solely because of me?

Enraged, Tai Liqun grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it. His son, seeing this, slammed the door and left home.
