How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 503 - 231 The First Step Towards Corporate Grouping_2
He really didn't know that the biggest tycoon had been hiding right beside him...
Seeing Gu Heng being so tactful and not continuing to ask, Fu Songyang couldn't help but show a sly smile and said, "But today I did notice Lizi acting a bit odd towards you. Of course, it could be because of other reasons.
But aren't you going to seize the opportunity?
Lizi is quite the beauty, right? Whether it's her looks or her status, she's perfectly matched with you without a doubt, no?
If you manage to win Lizi over, I'm not exaggerating when I say that for the next 20 years in the business world, you'd be able to do whatever you want. No one would dare play dirty tricks behind your back. How do you think Principal Wang's dad climbed up the ranks so quickly, from a local company in Dalian to becoming the wealthiest man in the country back then?
You'd say he's got business acumen and tactics, true, but mainly, his wife's connections are extraordinary~
If you and Lizi become a thing, I dare say your future achievements will only be higher than Lao Wang from Wanda, not lower."
Gu Heng rolled his eyes at this and did not respond.
If Gu Heng didn't have the system, faced with such towering soft rice, he wouldn't even think about it; he would definitely kneel and gobble it down.
But the main thing is, he has a cheat!
Even if Lizi could offer a lot of help, could it really compare to having a cheat?
Moreover, Gu Heng had already decided long ago that he'd never get involved with any girl who has an official background.
Whether he's interacting with Lin Jiayun, He Jing, or Ouyang Nana, didn't each one treat him like an emperor?
If he really ended up with a girl like Lizi, could he still live leisurely?
That would be a joke...
He had no interest in supporting a queen at home...
Moreover, Gu Heng was well aware of his place; there was nothing that would impress Lizi. Lizi's actions today might have other motivations, but they definitely weren't due to any feelings for him.
Seeing that Gu Heng didn't want to talk about this, Fu Songyang quickly changed the subject: "Remember Zhuo Wei I mentioned to you before?"
Gu Heng nodded slightly, "I remember, what about him?"
"Before you arrived, I was chatting with Chen Zhi about this. It really was this guy who was stirring things up from behind.
But looking at your lawsuit list, it seems like his name isn't there. What's up? Are you planning to sue him separately or let him off?"
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Not mentioning this would have been fine, but bringing it up got Gu Heng incredibly annoyed.
Of course, Gu Heng had thoroughly investigated this Zhuo Wei these past few days…
Initially, he thought he had offended someone who was using Zhuo Wei to mess with him…
But it wasn't until this morning that it became clear, this bastard simply wanted to use him as a stepping stone, to hop on his popularity and promote his own marketing account, and even started registering a company…
If it had been unintentional and he ended up offending some big shot, Gu Heng could have endured it.
After all, he was a nouveau riche. In terms of heritage, he wasn't even comparable to Fu Songyang, let alone those big shots even grander than Fu Songyang…
But still!
Though he was a nouveau riche...
Not just anyone could step on him, right?
A lousy paparazzo, instead of sorting out the entertainment circle, comes messing with him? With Gu Heng's vindictive nature, would he tolerate him?
Then Gu Heng said lightly: "I have no intention of suing him."
"Oh? Mr. Gu, which temple did you go to for enlightenment? Got a heart of Buddha now, learned to spare people when you can?"
Hearing Fu Songyang's teasing, Gu Heng didn't mind and just shrugged, "Did I say I was going to let him off?"
"Hmm?
So, how do you plan to handle it?"
Gu Heng stood up, interlocked his fingers, and stretched them forward forcefully, creating a series of cracking sounds: "My lawyer told me, for people like Zhuo Wei, the law is almost useless. When he's doing such deeds, he most likely has already distributed the responsibility to others.
If I actually sue him, he might secretly rejoice, seeing it as a wave of popularity I've handed him. For a shameless paparazzo like him, any publicity, good or bad, is beneficial.
Plus, even if the lawsuit succeeds, he'd at most get out in two or three years, which is pointless."
"Then what are you planning? Don't tell me you want to handle him privately?"
"That's the plan."
Fu Songyang looked at Gu Heng's icy expression and shook his head: "Alright then, sorting him out would be easy, but getting yourself into legal trouble isn't worth it. His life isn't worth a finger of ours.
The companies in the entertainment circle have long wanted to finish him off. You see he's still jumping around, right?"
"As far as I'm concerned, letting him suffer through legitimate means is enough."
Gu Heng, this time, had not listened to Fu Songyang, and headed straight for the door, saying as he walked, "I'm not that foolish, how could I possibly target him domestically?
But driving him abroad shouldn't be hard, right? When the time comes, I'll need Fu's connections to help make it happen."
Having said that, he also left the resting room...
Domestically, it's indeed safe, but that safety also offers protection to such disgusting dealings.
Abroad, however, is a different story...
That person who collaborated with HP and swindled 11 billion US Dollars, Lin Qi, isn't he a bona fide billionaire?
But so what?
Earns money but can't spend it...
For such a business mogul to die so tragically, to be wiped out, is enough to show what the environment is like abroad.
Admittedly, Gu Heng currently did not have the influence of the HP Group.
But Zhuo Wei isn't a big shot either, merely a paparazzi with minor influence domestically, hardly a notable figure here, and even less so abroad...
Those who fled the country, almost every day, there are countless who disappear without reason.
One more or one less of Zhuo Wei wouldn't make a difference.
People...
Always have to pay the price for their actions...
After leaving the resting room, Gu Heng did not go to find Lin Jiayun or He Jing, but simply inquired about them, learned that they were having a spa treatment, and chose not to wait. Instead, he had someone notify them to return to Sanlitun No. 1 after finishing their treatments and paid 100,000 Yuan as deposit, refundable or supplemental as needed.
He then got into his custom extended Rolls-Royce and headed toward the office...
Half an hour later.
"Mr. Gu."
"Chairman."
Upon entering the company, the receptionists quickly stood up to welcome him, but Gu Heng cut off their greetings, addressing Jiang Ruxue who was already waiting by the entrance, "Inform all departments to have all senior managers gather in the conference room."
"Understood, I'll notify them immediately."
Gu Heng did not say more and went straight to his office.
Gu Heng now finally understood why some people never have enough money...
He had thought his savings of over 30 billion were substantial and had planned to enjoy it, but, unexpectedly, just a few hours after receiving funds, he had to consider spending it...
Sometimes, whether or not to spend money really isn't up to oneself...
It's one thing leading to another...
After the company reaches a certain scale, maintaining stability requires continuous investment.
As for Gu Heng's side, although he hadn't planned on developing the company too greatly, it had reached the point where more capital injection was necessary...
Just like Lizi had said...
To create momentum, one must possess a certain level of prestige.
Gu Heng had no interest in donations and charity work, if the money could really go into the hands of those in need, he could accept it a bit.
But the reality is, those who need the donations don't get a penny; instead, it fattens up those charlatans masquerading under the guise of charity...
Since the donation route is not viable, he would take the route of being a patriotic entrepreneur.
IDE Capital currently has only one project, so the senior managers are not busy. Upon receiving Jiang Ruxue's summon, they arrived at the conference room right away.
Looking around at the dozen or so senior managers who had all gathered, Gu Heng spoke calmly, "Today we'll discuss only two things."
"One matter is that I will inject 30 billion cash into the company."
"The second matter is that the company will start to become a conglomerate."
