Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 479 - 449: A Killing Blow

As soon as Wei Yongxiong finished talking, a subordinate spoke up, "President Wei, I want to resign."

Wei Yongxiong’s face darkened, and he was about to scold the person, but before he could start, another subordinate followed, "President Wei, I want to resign as well."

One after another, subordinates began to stand up.

"President Wei, I resign too!"

"President Wei, it’s not that you haven’t been good to us, it’s that Xu Yang has offered too much!"

"President Wei, if there’s a chance in the future, let’s work together again!"

After saying this, they immediately turned and left, without a hint of hesitation.

Wei Yongxiong stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

He thought that even if these people were to leave, not all of them would.

But in the blink of an eye, they had all left, leaving him struggling to accept it.

Hadn’t he said that salaries would be increased by thirty percent?

Hadn’t he made big promises of sharing stock?

Hadn’t he said he would make everyone billionaires?

Why did they still leave?

Wei Yongxiong felt perplexed and angry.

The perplexity was about what exactly Xu Yang had offered these people to make them leave so decisively.

The anger was that these people, who had followed him for so many years, did not seem the least bit reluctant to part, all of them leaving.

It was like raising a pack of ingrates.

When he came back to his senses, the subordinates were nowhere to be seen.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Yang’s number.

Soon, the call was connected.

Wei Yongxiong went straight to the point, "Xu Yang, you’re really something, how the hell did you poach all my people?"

Xu Yang laughed, "Isn’t it simple? It’s all about money!"

Wei Yongxiong was so angry he felt like cursing.

Of course, he knew it was about money.

You raise salaries and offer various benefits, which may entice ordinary workers or even project managers.

But my confidants, how did you manage to poach them?

Those confidant subordinates had been with him for many years and could be considered veteran figures.

It’s unlikely they would part ways for just a thirty percent increase in salary or those benefits.

How much money did it take?

With that thought, Wei Yongxiong said in a heavy tone, "Xu Yang, you’ve already poached my people, can’t you elaborate?"

"Elaborate?" Xu Yang chuckled, "No problem. Just go take a look at the street corner to the left of your construction site’s entrance, and you’ll understand."

The street corner to the left of the construction site’s entrance?

Wei Yongxiong frowned, recalling that after the subordinates had left, they really did seem to head to the left.

So, he immediately went there.

And there he saw an armored cash transport vehicle parked there, with the rear compartment opened, revealing more than a dozen large boxes, each box open and filled with neatly stacked hundred-yuan bills, each box likely containing three million.

His confidant subordinates were signing contracts at a table next to the armored vehicle, and then each took a box of money from the rear compartment of the vehicle.

Each person got three million!

Wei Yongxiong felt his head buzzing.

The annual salaries of these confidants were about five hundred thousand.

With a thirty percent increase, the annual salary would be around six hundred and fifty thousand.

Xu Yang gave them three million in one shot, which would take almost five years to earn.

No wonder these confidants, after receiving the call, left without hesitation.

If it were him, he would leave as well.

Not leaving would be idiotic!

But still, he couldn’t quite understand. Was Xu Yang willing to spend so much money just to get at him? Did he really think it was worth it?

So many people, probably costing thirty or forty million.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but say over the phone, "Xu Yang, what you’re doing is definitely a loss. You’re spending so much money just to deal with me. Aren’t you afraid this will break your capital chain and affect your other businesses?"

Xu Yang laughed lightly, "Just this few tens of millions would break my capital chain? You’re underestimating me. You’re trying to take me down without even investigating my situation? I have Fengcai Guild and Pioneer Culture, two cash cows. I currently have over ten billion in cash. Do you think my capital chain is going to break?"

Wei Yongxiong’s lips twitched a few times.

He had indeed never thoroughly investigated Xu Yang.

He thought Xu Yang was simply a rising star, nothing remarkable.

As for that incident in the restaurant, when he ordered his subordinate to investigate, it was only to look into the specifics of that matter.

He believed that Li Xiaolin’s extortion of Xu Yang for ten billion was simply nonsense, definitely just bluster from Xu Yang.

Now it seemed it might be true.

This son of a bitch, Xu Yang was using money to smash him.

"Wei Yongxiong, originally, Li Dashan has been imprisoned, and the matter had concluded, and I couldn’t be bothered with you. But you shouldn’t have struck out at me again. Since you did, I can only hit back," Xu Yang said. "Good luck to you!"

After speaking, Xu Yang hung up the phone.

Wei Yongxiong stood rooted to the spot.

You wish me good luck, your mother’s good luck.

My construction site is paralyzed, what good luck is left?!

At that moment, his cell phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID and realizing it was his assistant calling, Wei Yongxiong felt somewhat relieved that his assistant hadn’t been poached.

He still had loyal subordinates who weren’t swayed by personal gain.

He picked up the phone, only to hear his assistant’s anxious, flustered voice: "President Wei, there’s trouble!"

In the past, hearing his assistant speak like this, Wei Yongxiong would have given a harsh rebuke.

But now, he dared not agitate his assistant. If he scolded him and the assistant simply decided to quit, then he would be completely alone.

So, he patiently said in a gentle voice, "What happened, don’t panic, speak slowly."

The assistant still sounded panicked: "President Wei, all of our workers have been poached, the construction site has stopped work. I asked around, and it’s Xu Yang, the boss of Fengcai Guild, who did it!"

Wei Yongxiong said, "I know about this; if the workers are gone, it’s okay. We’ll just recruit a new batch!"

The assistant said, "President Wei, indeed we can recruit another batch of workers, but the construction materials have run out!"

Wei Yongxiong narrowed his eyes: "The materials are gone? What do you mean?"

The assistant said, "All the construction materials in Jiangcheng have been bought by Xu Yang’s Huayang Real Estate."

Wei Yongxiong was unconcerned: "If he bought them, let him have them. We can go to the nearest Shancheng to buy them."

The assistant said, "The materials in Shancheng have also been bought by Xu Yang’s Huayang Real Estate."

"What!" Wei Yongxiong’s face finally changed but he quickly recovered his composure, "It doesn’t matter, if he bought the materials in Shancheng, we can go to Mengcheng to buy them!"

"President Wei, Huayang Real Estate has bought all the construction materials in Mengcheng too," the assistant was almost in tears, "And it’s not just that, Huayang Real Estate has bought up all the construction materials in all twelve cities of Tian Nan province!"

"What!" Wei Yongxiong was stunned.

To buy up all the materials in twelve cities across the province.

What kind of madman would do such a thing?

The assistant continued, "President Wei, that’s not all; he’s even reserved all the construction materials in the whole province for next year!"

"Damn it!"

Wei Yongxiong couldn’t help it anymore.

Xu Yang had not only bought all the construction materials in the province, but he had also reserved all the materials for next year.

Did he even want people to live?

He still had many construction sites waiting for materials, and without them, work would have to stop.

If work stops for a few months and the project schedule is not completed on time, that would mean breaching contract, requiring compensation.

It must be said that Xu Yang’s move was ruthless!

It was practically a deathblow.

He racked his brains for a solution, but after a long while, he couldn’t come up with any.

Xu Yang’s move was an open stratagem.

Even if you know about it, you can’t counter it.

As for buying materials from other provinces, that would just increase the cost tremendously, almost no different from breaching contract, even potentially more costly than a breach.

Wei Yongxiong felt like crying but had no tears.

If he had known this would happen, he never would have gone after Xu Yang.

Xu Yang’s rise within a year, his capability to topple a billion-dollar enterprise, truly made him not so easy to provoke.
