Chapter 407 Acquisitions of School
Returning to Jiangcheng, Jiang Yuheng made contact with Jiangcheng Business College to set a date for an inspection visit.
After lunch, Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng went to Jiangcheng Business College together.
They met with related school officials and several shareholders.
Xu Yang listened to these people boast about how good Jiangcheng Business College was and also took a tour around the campus.
At that moment, the school year had just started not long ago, and new students were all undergoing military training.
In the evening, after having dinner together, they left.
On the way back, Jiang Yuheng asked, "Xu Yang, what do you think, do you feel like it's worth investing?"
Xu Yang nodded, "The college is not bad, and the reasons those shareholders are selling their shares don't seem to be false."
Jiang Yuheng asked, "So that means it's a go for the investment?"
Xu Yang nodded, "Yeah, call those shareholders and arrange a meeting for tomorrow. Tell them we'll bring our legal and financial team to check the relevant documents and accounts. If there are no problems, we'll sign the contract."
Jiang Yuheng laughed, "If you say it's a good investment, then it surely must be profitable, haha."
Xu Yang gave a slight smile, "Make the call."
This was, of course, a profitable project; if it weren't, the system wouldn't have specifically reminded him.
Jiang Yuheng took out his cell phone to call one of the shareholders and asked that shareholder to notify the others as well as the school's leaders.
...
The next afternoon.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng, along with Ma Yangrong, the general manager of Yangxin Company, as well as their legal and financial staff, arrived at Jiangcheng Business College.
They were supposed to have come in the morning, but because Jiang Yuheng had an emergency, they postponed it until the afternoon.
After reviewing the related documents and financial records and finding no issues, they signed the acquisition contract.
Thus, Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng became shareholders of Jiangcheng Business College.
Xu Yang held seventy percent of the shares, and Jiang Yuheng held thirty percent.
After signing the contract, Jiang Yuheng had some matters to attend to and left in a hurry.
Xu Yang had nothing in particular to do but wasn't inclined to have dinner with the school's representatives.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Xu Yang?!"
Turning around, he saw a familiar figure.
"Xiao Bin?" Xu Yang was somewhat surprised.

The person was the younger brother of a high school acquaintance named Qiao Wenbin.
Xu Yang got along very well with that high school acquaintance, often visiting their home, which meant he was also quite friendly with Qiao Wenbin.
"Brother Yang, what brings you to our school?" Qiao Wenbin asked.
"I was here on some business, just finished up, and was about to call you. Let's have dinner together tonight."
Xu Yang knew that Qiao Wenbin was studying at Jiangcheng Business College.
He had visited before and treated him to a meal on one occasion.
Xu Yang hadn't planned to meet Qiao Wenbin today.
But now that they had bumped into each other, he had to treat him to a meal; otherwise, it wouldn't be proper.
"Sure thing," Qiao Wenbin replied with delight.
The two left the campus together.
"Brother Yang, I need to go back to my dorm to grab some things. Do you want to come with me, or wait for me outside?"
Qiao Wenbin, having just finished playing basketball, had left his phone and other items in the dormitory and planned to fetch them before having dinner together.
"Let's go together," Xu Yang said, having no pressing matters, and it was as good a time as any to chat with Qiao Wenbin.
Now that he was a major shareholder of Jiangcheng Business College, it was necessary to get to know more about the students' living environment.
Yesterday, I just strolled around the campus and didn't come to see the dormitories.
When I visited Qiao Wenbin before, we simply had a meal together and I never went to the dormitory area.
"Alright, let's go," Qiao Wenbin said as he led Xu Yang to the student apartments.
Upon entering the dormitory, Qiao Wenbin was taken aback by the people inside.
A few people were there, one of whom, a fat guy, was lying on the ground with a bruised face.
The other four sat in chairs, puffing away at their cigarettes.
Standing at the door, the smell of smoke hit me like a wave.
"Qiao Wenbin, you've finally come back," one of the crew-cut youths said with a cold sneer.
"Liu Hong, are you okay?" Qiao Wenbin quickly went over to check on the fat guy on the ground and helped him up.
"I'm fine," the fat guy shook his head.
"Ye Haiyang, what is the meaning of this?" Qiao Wenbin glared at the crew-cut youth.
"My classmate was on his way back to the dormitory when Liu Hong bumped into him, causing internal injuries. He's been sent to the hospital. Naturally, I had to seek some medical expenses from him. Liu Hong didn't want to pay, so I just had to teach him a lesson," Ye Haiyang said with a cold laugh.
"Ye Haiyang, that was your own classmate who bumped into him and then fell down on his own. How is that my business? And how could someone just fall to the ground and have internal injuries?" Liu Hong said angrily.
"Haha, you caused my classmate to suffer internal injuries and he's been admitted to the hospital, yet you still talk tough. Do you feel the lesson I gave you wasn't enough?" Qiao Wenbin asked sarcastically.
"You..." Liu Hong's face turned livid with anger, and as he was about to retort, Qiao Wenbin pulled him back.
Qiao Wenbin stared at Ye Haiyang and said, "Ye Haiyang, you had someone beat up Liu Hong because you wanted to target me, right?"
Ye Haiyang smiled and replied, "You figured it out?"
Qiao Wenbin angrily said, "You involve Liu Hong in our personal feud, which is utterly despicable."
Ye Haiyang chuckled, "So, I'm despicable. What can you do to me? I'll tell you, you fucked up my good deal, so I'm going to mess with you. Beating you up isn't satisfying enough for me. I also want to beat up the classmates who are close to you. Liu Hong is just the first one; there will be a second and a third.
In short, anyone who is close to you, I'll beat them up, so they suffer because of you. Guess how they will view you then?"
"You..." Qiao Wenbin's face was ugly, his fists clenched, but he was at a loss for words.
This Ye Haiyang was simply the tyrant of the school.
He usually gathered a bunch of lackeys and often bullied students around the campus.
He was also involved in the campus loan scam, which meant collaborating with outsiders to provide loans at the school.
Students could borrow between one thousand to ten thousand just with their ID and student cards.
Qiao Wenbin was specifically involved in pulling students into taking loans and collecting debts for them.
A couple of days ago, a female classmate whose father had been hospitalized came to Ye Haiyang looking to take out a ten-thousand loan.
Knowing the harm of campus loans, and that borrowing ten thousand could easily end up costing twenty thousand or even thirty to forty thousand to repay, Qiao Wenbin stopped his classmate and even lent her some money.
Qiao Wenbin was quite wealthy, having earned ten thousand over summer break without going home, and he lent it to the female classmate.
This naturally irked Ye Haiyang.
Qiao Wenbin's actions were clearly blocking his way of making money.
So, Ye Haiyang took his lackeys and gave Qiao Wenbin a beating.
After being beaten up, Qiao Wenbin had no intention of calling the police or informing the school teachers.
He knew that neither the police nor the school teachers would be of any help.
Ye Haiyang's father was formidable, and nobody could do anything to Ye Haiyang at school.
He thought the matter would be over after he was beaten up.
But he hadn't expected Ye Haiyang to be so vindictive and unwilling to let him go.
If they came to beat him up again, he would just endure it.
But for Ye Haiyang to beat up his close friends was really despicable.
If close friends got beaten up, unless they were exceptionally close, they would surely resent him inside.
Who would want to hang out with him after this?
