Chapter 433 You're Playing Me
Tang Zhenshan directly laughed, "Talking to a smart person like you, Tan Hongxin, is refreshing. My condition is very simple. The invitation from the Tang Group has been canceled, and I want to get reinvited."
Tan Hongxin suddenly realized, "So that's it, you want me to reinvite you."
Tang Zhenshan nodded, "Exactly, as long as I get the invitation, I will give you the mining rights to the Xishan Mine."
Tan Hongxin smiled, "No problem. I am the general manager of the branch of Huaxia Colored Metal Group, and even at the head office, I hold a certain status. Inviting you to join the alliance is not a problem. When will you transfer the mining rights to me?"
Seeing that Tan Hongxin agreed, Tang Zhenshan also smiled, "As soon as I see the invitation, we'll sign the transfer contract."
Tan Hongxin nodded, "Okay, give me a moment."
He took out his phone and called his assistant, "Xiao Zhang, send an email to the head office in my name, saying that I recommend Tang Group to join the Colored Metal Alliance, and ask them to send an invitation."
The Colored Metal Alliance did not have a specialized team to evaluate new members.
It relied on the recommendations from the branch offices of the Huaxia Colored Metal Group in each province.
Their branch offices were widespread throughout the country, and they had an in-depth understanding of the colored metal companies nationwide. As long as it was a recommendation from the branch general manager and the company met a certain scale without any significant misdemeanors, they would usually be approved.
That was why Tang Zhenshan wanted to seek out Tan Hongxin.
Seeing Tan Hongxin make the call, Tang Zhenshan breathed a sigh of relief.
It looked like the matter was settled.
Tan Hongxin put down his phone, "All done, you should receive the invitation soon."
Tan Hongxin cupped his fist, "Thank you, Mr. Tan."
Tan Hongxin laughed heartily, "Mr. Tang, you're too polite. We're in a win-win cooperation, haha!"
Tang Zhenshan also laughed heartily, "That's right, win-win."
Next, the food arrived, and the two began eating and drinking.
After a few rounds of drinks and several courses of dishes.
Tang Zhenshan's phone rang, a call from his assistant Xiao Li.
Tang Zhenshan raised his eyebrows, guessing it must be the invitation, and immediately answered, "Is it the invitation?"
Assistant Xiao Li excitedly said, "Yes, Mr. Tang, we have received the invitation from the alliance."
"Great!" Tang Zhenshan smiled and nodded, then hung up the phone.
"Mr. Tan, we can sign the contract now," Tang Zhenshan put down his chopsticks.
"Haha, no problem, let's sign the contract and then have a good drink!" Tang Zhenshan laughed heartily.
Afterward, both called in their lawyers who they had brought along.
The contract was drafted by Tan Hongxin's lawyer.
Tang Zhenshan's lawyer took the contract and began to carefully review it.
Twenty minutes later, Tang Zhenshan's lawyer said, "Mr. Tang, the contract is fine."
Tang Zhenshan nodded and immediately picked up a pen to sign his name on the contract.
Tan Hongxin did the same, signing his name as well.
"Mr. Tan, come, come, let me toast you another drink."
Tang Zhenshan was in high spirits, pouring wine for himself and Tan Hongxin before lifting his glass in a toast.
However, at that moment, his phone on the table rang again.
It was another call from his assistant Xiao Li.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Tang Zhenshan apologetically smiled at Tan Hongxin, set down his glass, and answered Xiao Li's call, "What's up?"
Assistant Xiao Li sounded panicked, "Mr. Tang, it's bad news, our invitation has been canceled again!"
"What! Canceled again?!" Tang Zhenshan was shocked and stood up abruptly.
It should be noted that he had traded the mining rights of the Xishan Mine for this.
"Mr. Tang, there was a sentence in the email," the assistant's tone was a bit strange.
"What did it say, spit it out," Tang Zhenshan urged.
"That sentence was, 'Thank you for your Xishan Mine's mining rights,'" said Xiao Li.
Boom!
Hearing this, Tang Zhenshan's head exploded with shock.
He couldn't help but look at Tan Hongxin sitting across from him, his eyes nearly shooting fire, "Tan Hongxin, are you fucking playing me?!"
Tan Hongxin smiled slightly, "Mr. Tang, you can't talk nonsense. I did as you asked and had the alliance send you an invitation to join. If you've been kicked out again, you can't blame me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhenshan finally understood.
It must definitely be Xu Yang's maneuver.
Xu Yang had manipulated events so that he would lose the mining rights to the Xishan Mine.
What he couldn't understand was what benefits Xu Yang had given to Tan Hongxin to make him so supportive.
Thinking this, Tang Zhenshan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What benefits did Xu Yang offer you? Whatever he can give you, I can also give you, and I can give you three or four times more!"
Tan Hongxin smiled, "Mr. Tang, I really can't accept any benefits. If I did, it would be bribery, and I'd have to go to jail. I have a bright future ahead of me, and I don't want to ruin it just to get those benefits."
Hearing this, Tang Zhenshan was filled with contempt and couldn't help saying, "You're fucking full of it. If you hadn't taken what Xu Yang gave you, would you help him like this?"
Tan Hongxin laughed, "Mr. Tang, you're really misunderstanding me. I truly didn't take any benefits. I'm just following the orders from the head office."
Experience new stories on empire
"Just following the head office's orders?" Tang Zhenshan was astonished and confused.
Could it be that Xu Yang was connected with the Huaxia Colored Metal Group's head office?
Impossible, no such connection was found during the investigation.
Even with Xu Yang's vast network of statesmen, nobody was connected to the Colored Metal Group's head office.
Tang Zhenshan was completely baffled.
At that moment, Tan Hongxin spoke again, "Oh right, I have something to tell you. The person who gave me the order is one of our head office's shareholders, named Xu Yang."
"What!" Tang Zhenshan widened his eyes in disbelief, "How is that possible? How can he be a shareholder of your Huaxia Colored Metal Group? I've investigated him, and he's just a self-made billionaire with a network limited to the business community. How could he be a shareholder of your Huaxia Colored Metal Group? Even Wang, the richest man, couldn't do it.
How does Xu Yang have the credentials to be a shareholder of Huaxia Colored Metal Group? I don't believe it!"
Tan Hongxin smiled, "Do you know that our Huaxia Colored Metal Group acquired Southern Steel Company, Northern Steel Company, and Western Steel Company a while ago?"
Tang Zhenshan nodded, "I know. I'm in the industry, how could I not know about such a big deal?"
Tan Hongxin said, "Xu Yang was a major shareholder of those companies and naturally became a shareholder of our Huaxia Colored Metal Group."
"What!" Tang Zhenshan was once again stunned.
"Mr. Tang, thanks for the mining rights to the Xishan Mine. I'll be on my way, goodbye!"
Tan Hongxin stood up, patted the briefcase with the contract inside, and left.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
