After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 630: 529, Hao, I want to have a son for you (Requesting monthly votes) Chapter 630: 529, Hao, I want to have a son for you (Requesting monthly votes) In the following days,

the asset evaluation team entered Xiangyang Steel Plant and finally gave an appraisal price of 9.36 billion.

This price was not far from the figure Zhang Fengshou had mentioned, and the acquisition then moved into the phase of negotiating the price and terms.

In fact, the current stage was not the optimal time to acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant because this behemoth hadn’t completely collapsed.

Although it had been operating at a loss for several years, a camel, even at its thinnest, is still larger than a horse; the foundational hardware and the heritage of a large plant were still there.

Therefore, it was not quite realistic to want to wield the Dragon Slayer Sword to lower the price, which would be much easier if it were a few more years down the line.

After a round of intense bargaining, Yang Hao finally bought Xiangyang Steel Plant for 8.8 billion.

However, in reality, he spent 8.9 billion, with an additional expenditure of 100 million used for smoothing relations.

Without this 100 million, it would have been absolutely impossible to push the price so low.

After all, Xiangyang Steel Plant’s current market valuation was around 11 billion.

Although this valuation was on the higher side, the provincial government’s stance was that it could not go below 9.5 billion.

Originally, this figure was set in stone, but after Yang Hao threw out a billion, the previously fixed number also loosened up.

Xiangyang Steel Plant was, after all, not any one person’s asset, but the billion Yang Hao spent was something that could be pocketed in reality.

Of course, Yang Hao’s move was completely legal and reasonable.

He donated the money to a certain educational charity foundation, and as for what happened behind the scenes, he wasn’t clear.

In any case, Yang Hao had donated the money, considering it a good deed.

Everything was settled.

Both parties signed the acquisition agreement in the presence of the provincial officials.

“Mr.

Yang, congratulations,”

“from now on, Xiangyang Steel Plant is your personal asset!”

After the signing ceremony, Zheng Dongshan, with a beaming smile, shook hands with Yang Hao.

“I must also congratulate Mr.

Zheng.

I heard that Mr.

Zheng is about to be promoted.”

Yang Hao replied with a smile.

Before the formal signing, Zheng Dongshan had already informed Yang Hao that he would not stay on but had been transferred to a large state-owned enterprise in the province to continue serving as the plant manager.

The market value of this large state enterprise, located in the provincial city, was three times that of Xiangyang Steel Plant.

Furthermore, since the city it was in was a new first-tier city, both the corporate scale and geographical location were much better than Xiangyang Steel Plant.

Therefore, Zheng Dongshan had no attachment to Xiangyang Steel Plant.

Rather, he was quite grateful to Yang Hao, who had helped him achieve such a significant accomplishment.

Plus, with his own maneuvering, he was transferred to the big factory in the provincial city.

“We’ve helped each other!”

Zheng Dongshan laughed heartily, “Mr.

Yang, let’s go back to the plant now, shall we?

The staff meeting is scheduled for one o’clock in the afternoon, and as the plant manager, I have to stand my last post.”

“Sure!”

Yang Hao nodded.

Afterwards, the two of them got into their cars, with Zheng Dongshan entering his exclusive black Audi A6L.

Yang Hao, on the other hand, took a seat in the back of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Miss Color was already in the car.

It’s worth mentioning that Miss Color’s new driver was a female veteran named Liu Zhaodi.

Just from her name, it was clear that her parents really wanted a son.

Whether or not they eventually got their wish was another matter.

“Zhaodi, to Xiangyang!”

Once Yang Hao got into the car, Huang Qing immediately gestured to Liu Zhaodi, who was seated in the driver’s seat.

“Yes, Qing!”

Liu Zhaodi responded loudly and then stepped on the gas to drive off.

She hadn’t been discharged from the military for long and still retained many habits developed during her service, such as always answering with a “Yes” before responding.

Moreover, whether she was walking or sitting, she always held herself straight, exuding a valiant and spirited aura.

“Zhaodi, may I ask you a personal question?”

Yang Hao was quite interested in this somewhat bewildered yet spirited female veteran.

Of course, his interest was not the same as it was with Huang Qing and Li Manni; he was simply interested in her background and family environment.

“You may, Mr.@@novelbin@@

Yang, please ask.”

Liu Zhaodi answered with a loud voice.

Actually a girl from the south, she spoke without the gentle and delicate manner typical of that region, instead displaying the forthright and direct nature often associated with northern girls.

“How many siblings do you have?”

Yang Hao asked curiously, he actually wanted to know if Liu Zhaodi had any brothers, but didn’t want to be too direct.

“There are four sisters in our family.”

“I have two older sisters and one younger sister.”

Liu Zhaodi responded truthfully about her family situation.

“Four sisters?”

After hearing Liu Zhaodi’s response, Yang Hao couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for her parents.

Desperate for a son, they ended up with four daughters, what kind of feeling would that be?

Yang Hao also became curious about what Liu Zhaodi’s two older sisters and one younger sister were named, so he simply asked directly, “Zhaodi, what are your sisters’ names?”

“No offense, I just think your name is very unique.”

“My eldest sister is named Liu Laidi, the second sister is Liu Pandi, and the youngest sister is called Liu Simei!”

Liu Zhaodi answered truthfully.

Yang Hao silently recited the names to himself.

Laidi, Pandi, Zhaodi!

Indeed, Liu Zhaodi’s parents were so fixated on having a son!

So much so that when the fourth child was also a daughter, it seemed as though they gave up, directly naming her Liu Simei.

“My parents always wanted a son, but sadly, they never got their wish in their lifetime.”

“After my youngest sister was born, my mom’s health wasn’t very good, so she didn’t continue trying for more children.”

Not being particularly introverted, Liu Zhaodi noticed Yang Hao seemed quite interested in her family situation, so she took the initiative to share more.

“I see.”

“That’s rather unfortunate.”

Yang Hao nodded gently.

Even though gender equality has already been achieved in the country, and there are even cases where women are favored over men.

However, many people still harbor the idea of preferring sons over daughters, especially in some remote rural areas where this belief is even stronger.

There are also wealthy families who, due to the need for someone to inherit their massive fortunes, also desperately want sons.

Before the System intervened, Yang Hao didn’t particularly want a son, since he didn’t have much wealth awaiting inheritance.

However, now, Yang Hao’s thoughts had gradually changed.

Currently he only had Xixi, a daughter, but his assets had already reached over two hundred billion.

Xixi alone couldn’t spend it all in several lifetimes, which is why Yang Hao started entertaining the idea of having a son.

At the moment, Sun Xinyi was already four and a half months pregnant, and with today’s level of medical technology, it was already possible to determine whether the child she was carrying was a boy or a girl.

Yang Hao hadn’t been in a rush to check it before, but now he suddenly wanted to go back to Jiangcheng and get it sorted out with Sun Xinyi, to see if he could welcome his first son.

Thinking of Sun Xinyi made Yang Hao feel a bit guilty, because since she had become pregnant, he hadn’t spent much time by her side, especially after going to Hucheng, as it had been quite a while since he had seen dear Yibao!

It looks like he’d be buying several more houses in Hucheng, so that Yibao could move there.

Even if she didn’t live there often, she should at least have a house there!

Yang Hao was silently planning in his mind.

Just then, Huang Qing suddenly leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered, “Hao, I want to have a son for you.”

“Hmm, sure!”

Yang Hao was slightly startled at first, but then smiled and nodded, affectionately pecking Huang Qing on the cheek.

Miss Color usually carried herself with a boss lady persona, exuding a cool and capable vibe, so now when Yang Hao kissed her like this, she became somewhat shy, nervously glancing at Liu Zhaodi who was driving.

Although Miss Color enjoyed dabbling in scandals, in front of subordinates, she still wanted to maintain her authority and didn’t want to show her more vulnerable feminine side.

At that moment, Liu Zhaodi was just staring intently at the road ahead, seemingly oblivious to the interaction between the two in the backseat.

Seeing this, Huang Qing relaxed a bit and silently let out a sigh of relief.

Yang Hao’s indulgent kiss almost stripped Miss Color of her stoic front!
