Chapter: 3634

However, according to Wan Ba Jun's statement, even if they gave ten or fifteen billion, when the auditors assess their actual asset scale and find that they're short by thirty or forty billion, they'll be asked to compensate three times the difference. That would be one hundred billion just in compensation!

At this time, Ye Tian Xiao trembled with fear and said: "Wan Dian Jun... my family's net assets are roughly eighty to ninety billion. However, the cash and stocks we can use might only add up to twenty billion or so. How should we handle such a situation?"

Wan Ba Jun spoke coldly: "If it's this kind of situation, first convert all the stocks into cash, then put the entire twenty billion in cash into Wan Long Tang's designated account. After you leave, immediately sell some other assets and pay off the remaining twenty billion."

Ye Tian Xiao choked back tears: "Wan Dian Jun, I won't deceive you... many of our industries are long-term investments, with some projects taking years or even decades to show returns after investing a lot of capital. If we were to liquidate now, it would be no different from killing the chicken to get the eggs, and our losses would be extremely severe..."

Ye Tian Xiao's words resonated with other members of the Ye family's collateral branches.

They were willing to put out half their assets at this time, but if it was a situation like killing the chicken to get the eggs, their losses would be even greater than that.

Wan Ba Jun was hesitant as well. If he only needed to complete Ye Tian's task, he wouldn't care about anything else; all they had to do was liquidate everything and kill the chicken to get the eggs. Kill the chicken to get the eggs also means handing over half of what you've got.

But at this moment, he wasn't clear about Ye Tian's attitude towards these fellow tribespeople, so he couldn't gauge the situation and therefore opened his mouth to say: "You all need to clarify your personal asset situations first. Those who are short on cash should pay off their debts first. The rest of you can wait for a solution from us."

Everyone was helpless and could only agree.

As a result, Wan Long Tang's warriors began registering each member of the Ye family collateral branches one by one, asking about their specific asset situations as well as their cash situation. Once the registration was complete, they required them to pay off all their debts first.

When this portion of funds started pouring in to Wan Long Tang's account, Ye Tian's private jet also finally landed at Yanjing Airport.

As soon as it touched down, Tang Sihai climbed aboard and headed for Ye Ling Shan.

Along the way, Tang Sihai briefed Ye Tian on the situation at Ye Ling Shan and also reported Wan Ba Jun's uncertainty to Ye Tian. He asked: "Young master, when I arrived, Wan Ba Jun entrusted me with asking you about how to handle those people whose cash is less than half of their total assets and most of their assets are in tangible industries or fixed assets?"

Ye Tian replied calmly: "Of course, we can't be too harsh on those who acknowledge their mistakes. We can accept a portion of their cash upfront, and as for the rest, let them make installment payments."

As he spoke, Ye Tian paused slightly and said: "Normally speaking, installment payments would definitely require interest payments. However, since they are all members of the Ye family, I'll give them some face and not charge them interest for installment payments, but we'll still add a certain proportion of handling fees."

"For example, if they owe us ten billion, we can split it into 12 installments over one year, or 36 installments over three years, or 60 installments over five years. As for the handling fee, we'll collect six hundred thousand per period, which is equivalent to six tenths of one percent."

Tang Sihai's face turned pale as he exclaimed: "Young master, if we follow this proportion, the total handling fee for all 60 installments would be 36% of the principal! Ten billion in principal, and the handling fee would be a staggering 3.6 billion! Isn't that too high?"

Ye Tian smiled and said: "Bank credit card installment payments are all charged at six tenths of one percent per period, aren't they? I'm just matching the bank's rates."

Tang Sihai hastily added: "Young master, you're saying this, but the interest rate on handling fees is actually very high... I fear they won't be able to withstand such a high handling fee..."

Ye Tian looked like a cunning merchant and seriously said: "If they can't withstand it, that's not a problem. I can offer them another option - convert the debt into shares of their company according to a certain discount ratio. For example, if their company is worth 50 billion, but they still owe us 10 billion, normally this 10 billion would be equivalent to 20% of the company's value. However, since they owe us money, I won't charge them interest on installment payments; instead, I'll collect a present handling fee ratio, so that their 40 billion in total value would become 30 billion after discounting, and the 10 billion debt would be equivalent to 25% of the company's shares!"

Although he wasn't a member of the Ye family, seeing those who relied on the Ye family's support all day and suddenly fled at a critical moment when the Ye family was alive or dead, made him extremely angry. Ye Tian thought it was time to teach them a lesson, and Tang Sihai also agreed wholeheartedly.

However, Tang Sihai didn't expect Ye Tian to be so ruthless, as if he really intended to cut off half of their assets. Ye Tian noticed Tang Sihai's complex expression at this moment and asked him, "Tang Jia, do you think I'm being too harsh on them?"

Tang Sihai thought for a moment before speaking up, saying, "In terms of discipline, yes, it is quite severe. After all, half of their assets are difficult to accept for any individual..."

He paused slightly and continued, "However, in my opinion, what you're doing is also reasonable. Their assets have been built up mainly by relying on the Ye family, so if they betray us at a critical moment, it's only natural that we reclaim some of their assets."

Ye Tian smiled calmly and said sincerely, "Actually, this time I'm not just punishing them for what they have in their hands. What bothers me is that these people are too disloyal to the Ye family. Their loyalty is so low that it's unbearable, so I must use this opportunity to give them a good scare." JrNovels.com
