Golden Scale [EN]: Chapter 155

The Great War (2)

Tuesday morning marked the beginning of the second round of negotiations between Dongxing and GM. After a night of adjustments, Su Zhan had shaken off the previous day’s slump and regained his sharp, capable demeanor.

Hou Longtao skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the main point. “Our offering price is two US dollars per share, with each percentage point of shares equivalent to sixty-seven million. The expected opening price should be at least three dollars, with each percentage point of shares equivalent to one hundred million. These prices are for shareholders who are competing fairly. You come to me asking for special treatment, yet you only offer a quote of fifty million per percentage point. I find this very difficult to understand.”

“Fifty million only accounts for the tangible investment, without considering GM’s intangible contributions.”

“What intangible contributions? GM’s name?”

“Exactly. Once the news of our agreement is publicized by the media, GM’s name will increase Dongxing’s value several times, even dozens of times. I believe you won’t disagree with this point, will you?”

“For now, let’s say I don’t disagree. Please continue.” Hou Longtao wanted to see just how “self-important” the other party was.

“Since you agree with my assessment, then there shouldn’t be any problems. Your side offered a price of one hundred and fifty million, but we believe the intangible value GM provides to Dongxing far exceeds two and a half billion dollars.”

“Is that all?” Hou Longtao seemed slightly disappointed. “Let me ask you a question. How many Dongxings are there in this world? And how many GMs are there?”

“Hmm? One Dongxing, one GM.”

“Wrong. One Dongxing, a dozen GMs. As far as we’re concerned, GM, Ford, Chrysler, BMW, and so on, there’s no essential difference. Cooperating with any one of them can achieve the same effect. I might as well have looked at Ford. If I remember correctly, a US president once said, ‘What’s good for Ford is good for America.’ GM hasn’t received such praise, has it?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s absolutely a seller’s market,” Hou Longtao spread his arms. “Of course, the price is determined by the seller.”

“A seller’s market doesn’t mean you can ask for the sky. Your company’s purifiers monopolize the market, but in China, they only sell for one hundred and twenty dollars. Why not sell them for a thousand dollars? Because even with a monopoly, you have to consider the buyer’s ability to pay. Moreover, the current situation we’re in, whether or not to acquire those shares won’t immediately affect GM’s survival and development.”

“Are you saying our asking price exceeds GM’s ability to pay?”

“Of course not, but it’s unreasonable. No other company would accept it. Everyone can analyze what their joining can bring to Dongxing, so their quotes will basically be on par with ours.”

“If it’s really as you say, then wouldn’t it be unnecessary for me to sell the shares to you now? I could wait for a few more companies to make offers, let you compete for a while, and the price would increase, right?”

“So, fifty million is just our initial offer. That’s why we have today’s negotiation. Hehehe, of course, we don’t expect your side to directly accept our offer.”

“Alright,” Hou Longtao nodded. “Let’s haggle then. Two hundred million.”

“Hmm?” Su Zhan frowned.

This wasn’t haggling; how could it be fifty million higher than before?

“Of course, I’ll explain,” Hou Longtao took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. “The way you put it earlier made it sound like only Dongxing was benefiting from GM, as if your twenty-five percent stake in Dongxing wouldn’t have any major positive impact on GM. That’s not the case, is it?”

“Then what is the case?”

“I don’t deny that with GM’s involvement, shareholders’ confidence in Dongxing will greatly increase, which will be reflected in the rise of the stock price. Dongxing’s international reputation will also reach a new level, and it can further force other major automobile companies to purchase our products. However, where is the world’s largest potential market?”

“Mainland China.” Su Zhan realized the other party wanted him to answer the question.

“Correct. I’ve developed less than one-fortieth of the market in mainland China. We don’t really urgently need the international market, and international recognition is even more dispensable to us. The stock price increases, and the shares in both our hands appreciate, not just ours; GM’s shares remain at the original price. Honda and Toyota are already helping us to force other companies to purchase our products; we don’t really need GM. Your joining only serves to fuel the flames and accelerate our expansion speed.” Hou Longtao clenched his fist in the air, appearing very domineering. “You get twenty-five percent of the shares, and you get twenty-five percent of the profits. You certainly know how much profit Dongxing is making now, and how much profit Dongxing will make in the future? Sky is the limit. Do you agree with my points, Mr. Su?”

In his heart, Su Zhan very much agreed with the spirited young man’s words, but he absolutely couldn’t reveal his thoughts. “Mr. Hou is a bit too optimistic. Market conditions and the political environment are extremely unstable factors. It’s hard to say whether more advanced technologies will emerge in the near future.”

“Although no investment is guaranteed to make a profit, if you really believe Dongxing’s advantages could disappear in a short period of time, we wouldn’t be sitting here today.” Hou Longtao put his glasses back on. “I think I’ve clarified our position. This is a mutually beneficial business. There’s no such thing as GM making an intangible asset investment. One hundred and fifty million is a very fair price, but since your side wants to haggle, we have no choice but to start at two hundred million. Otherwise, you’ll think we’re not sincere and not giving any concessions.”

The two sides began to bargain back and forth on the price, almost fighting over every inch of ground. They didn’t reach an agreement even by the time of adjournment. Fortunately, there was plenty of time; if not today, they would continue tomorrow.

Michael Sha returned to his hotel room and made a call to New York. “You were right; Hou Longtao is indeed quite capable.”

“Encountered more trouble?”

“No, it’s just that taking him down isn’t as simple as I imagined.”

“Don’t rush; there’s still time. How’s that Su guy doing?”

“He’s fine now.”

“That’s good. Have fun in Beijing.”

“I don’t need you to tell me that.” Michael Sha hung up the phone…

Over the next three days, by the time of adjournment on Friday afternoon, although the differences between the two sides were narrowing, it would still take time to reach an agreement that satisfied both parties…

Saturday noon, Hou Longtao and his brothers sent Long off to the airport. Several of them arrived early and chatted while smoking outside the departure hall.

“Damn, this is my first time going abroad,” Long rubbed his nose.

“What’s wrong? A little nervous?”

“Yeah, a little.”

“It’s okay,” Da Pang came over and patted Long’s head. “Rub it, rub it, and you won’t be scared.”

“Get lost, you,” Long laughed and pushed Da Pang’s arm away.

“Seriously, seriously,” Da Pang straightened his face, grabbed Long’s shoulders, and looked down at him. “The kid’s grown up; he should go out and see the world.”

“Look at your face, get out of here,” Long jumped away from Da Pang. “You’re talking like you’re my dad.”

Hou Longtao glanced at his watch. “Stop messing around; it’s time to go in.”

Liu Nan put his arm around Long and walked into the departure hall. “Do you remember those few sentences I taught you?”

“I’m from Beijing, China. I’m here for business. My English is not very good. Passport is 护照 (hùzhào) [hùzhào: passport], Visa is 签证 (qiānzhèng) [qiānzhèng: visa].”

“Very good.” Liu Nan turned around. “This kid’s got it.”

“How long is the flight?” Long turned back and looked at Hou Longtao.

“Sixteen or seventeen hours, I guess.”

“Damn, won’t I be sitting there to death?”

“Heh heh, first class, so don’t complain. If you have nothing to do, just flirt with a flight attendant.”

“Alright, if I take a fancy to someone, I’ll call you later, and you can keep an eye on her for me first.”

“No problem.” Hou Longtao tugged at Long’s suit collar. “Although I’ve already made arrangements, you’re still outside, so be smart.”

“Don’t worry.”

“Okay, get lost, you rascal.” Hou Longtao shook Long’s right hand with his right hand and patted his upper arm forcefully with his left hand…

Eighteen hours later, Long walked out of New York’s Kennedy Airport. Tian Donghua, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up and gave him a hug.

“Hehehe, Brother Hua, I’m not used to this American custom.”

“Yeah, who wants to hug you?” Zuo Wei pushed Tian Donghua away and waved to the back. “Hug her.”

A busty, curvy, long-legged blonde beauty walked over with a wiggle. “Mr. Lin, I’m your personal translator, Tina. You can tell me any requests you have.” Her Chinese was quite standard.

“Hahaha, OK, OK, let’s hug first.” Long grabbed the foreign girl and hugged her tightly, squeezing her butt. “Top-notch goods.”

“Let’s go, let’s go,” Zuo Wei patted Long’s shoulder. “Let’s go back to the hotel first.”

The group went to the parking lot and got into Zuo Wei’s BMW 745.

A black Chevrolet SUV also started up, with four burly Russians inside. The one in the passenger seat dialed his cell phone.

“Sister Yekaterina, that Chinese guy is here.”

“Take good care of him.”

Not far away, several Asians in a Lexus CS400 were also watching Zuo Wei and the others…

“Long, come to my room first.” Tian Donghua waved to Long at the door.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Long patted Tina’s butt. “Run the water and wait for me; let’s take a mandarin duck bath [a bath for couples].” He left after giving his instructions.

“That woman, is she sent by Hou Longtao to keep an eye on you?” Tian Donghua closed the door to his suite.

“Ninety-nine percent.”

“How’s the situation lately?”

“Hmph, what about you?” Long poured himself a glass of foreign wine. “To prove to him that I’ve completely lost interest in Yu Qian, I’ve been messing around with some trashy women almost every day.”

“How’s Yu Qian?”

“How else could she be? Ever since Hou Longtao forced her to move into the new house, she’s become a caged bird.” Long tossed back his head, finished the wine, and feigned pain. “I haven’t seen her in over a month.”

“How could Hou Longtao let you come over?”

“I told him I wanted to come over and learn about listing matters from you. He was also happy to send me away, so he wouldn’t have to worry about me rekindling things with Yu Qian every day.”

“Well, you should rest for a while first. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow.”

“Sigh, I can’t rest.” Long patted his crotch…

The negotiations weren’t progressing as smoothly as expected, and on top of that, he had just sent his dearest brother away yesterday, leaving him to venture into a dangerous place alone. Hou Longtao was feeling a bit depressed. This was a normal human reaction, uncontrollable and not unique to any individual.

However, everyone has different ways of relieving depression. For Hou Longtao, the most effective method was unrestrained fornication, but of course, he wouldn’t use his beloved wives as objects to vent his bad mood…

Shi Ya, wearing a blue long dress and a blue half-length women’s suit, walked out of the district, her ten-centimeter pump high heels tapping out crisp, pleasant sounds on the stone road.

The woman got into a Benz S600 by the side of the road, hugged Hou Longtao in the back seat, and began to kiss him passionately, looking a bit thirsty. “Hmm… hmm… where are we going?”

“To the hospital.”

“The hospital?”

“Just don’t worry about it,” Hou Longtao took out a pink vibrator from the side and looked at the woman with a lewd smile. “Aren’t you about to immigrate? I’ll play with you a few more times.”

“What… what are you doing?” Shi Ya looked at the man’s lascivious face, knowing that she was in for another round of pleasure, and felt her lower body already moist.

“Heh heh heh.” Hou Longtao answered with actions. He unbuttoned the row of golden buttons on the front of the woman’s long dress, pulled the light flesh-colored pantyhose and pure white briefs from under her big butt to her thighs, spread her labia with his left hand, and slowly inserted the massager into her hole with his right hand.

“Ah ah…” Shi Ya’s butt tightened, lifting off the seat. The massager was very long, reaching all the way to her uterus.

Hou Longtao helped the woman put her panties and pantyhose back on, picked up a remote control, and flipped the switch.

“Hmm… hmm… hmm…” Shi Ya’s face immediately turned red, and her body trembled. She pressed her arms against her abdomen, pressing her upper body down, as if she had a stomachache. “Ah… Longtao…”

Hou Longtao put his arm around the woman’s shoulders, rubbing her breasts through her clothes. “Enjoy it slowly.”

Fangzhuang was very close to Liujiayao, and they arrived in just a few minutes. Hou Longtao led the way, and the Xingyue sisters helped Shi Ya, whose face was flushed and eyes dazed, follow him into a ten-story residential building.

In a unit on the fifth floor, seven beauties knelt on the carpet, respectfully welcoming the arrival of several people.

At the front was Sakura Tamako in a kimono, followed by her two daughters, Sakura Kiyomi and Sakura Fubuki. Both girls wore bright pink bras, panties, garter belts, milky white silk stockings, and white high heels. Behind them were the four ninja “Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.” They were also only wearing underwear, suspender stockings, and high heels. Spring Ninja wore light green, Summer Ninja wore fiery red, Autumn Ninja wore light yellow, and Winter Ninja wore pure white.

Hou Longtao liked this room filled with various women’s fragrances. It was invigorating as soon as he entered. “Get up, everyone,” he lightly flirted with Tamako’s chin. “How many times have I told you, you don’t have to kneel when you see me.”

“Thank you, Master.” The beauties all stood up.

Hou Longtao sat down on a soft recliner. The angle of the backrest allowed him to comfortably see the entire room.

The four ninja gathered around, two above and two below, to undress the man.

“Hmm…” Hou Longtao lazily twisted his neck. At home, he mostly served his wives, but here, he could completely be the master.

Tamako turned her back to the man and, with the help of her daughters, took off her kimono. The white shirt slid down her smooth back to the ground, revealing her full, sexy body. Her snow-white, round buttocks were plump and shapely, not at all inferior to her daughters.

Hou Longtao was already stark naked. Spring Ninja and Autumn Ninja knelt on either side of him, kissing his chest, while Winter Ninja and Summer Ninja licked his legs below.

The Xingyue sisters brought Shi Ya over and helped her into position between the man’s legs, rolling her long skirt up to her waist. Shi Ya pouted her plump buttocks, held the man’s big meat stick in her right hand, and sucked it with relish, while her left hand rubbed his testicles, picking at his perineum and anus.

Hou Longtao could see Shi Ya’s big butt wrapped in pantyhose in the large mirror on the opposite wall. The panties at the vaginal opening were still trembling slightly, very feminine and full of mature woman’s charm. “Not bad. Tamako, you can start soon.” He put one foot between the woman’s legs, pressing his big toe against her clitoris.

Tamako raised her hands, allowing her daughters to tie her wrists with ropes hanging from the ceiling.

“Too tight?”

“No.”

“Then we can start.” Sakura Fubuki and her sister massaged their mother’s full breasts, one on the left and one on the right.

“Okay, Master, please enjoy.” Tamako closed her eyes.

Chieko held up a plate filled with diced fruits, and Huiji fed the fruits to the man mouth-to-mouth. Sakura Kiyomi and Sakura Fubuki brought two bowls filled with ice cubes, each holding one in their mouths and kissing their mother’s cheeks.

“Ah…” Tamako frowned, shivering, and her neck shrank.

Sakura Kiyomi and Sakura Fubuki massaged their mother’s spherical breasts and buttocks while slowly kissing down her body, leaving streaks of water on her skin. The two kissed Tamako’s sensitive armpits, causing her body to tremble even more violently. The man’s penis had been licked until it was shiny and black, and she was still sucking the glans with all her might. The feeling of having a big dick inserted deep into her throat made her feel a dizzying pleasure.

Hou Longtao played with Spring Ninja’s breasts with his left hand and rubbed Autumn Ninja’s plump buttocks with his right hand. His penis was being sucked by a beauty, and four smooth tongues were roaming over his body. He could also constantly enjoy his beloved wife’s lips and tongue and fresh fruits. It was truly wonderful.

The moment two ice cubes pressed against her delicate nipples, Tamako’s nipples reached their maximum hardness. “Ah…” Her flat abdomen contracted, and her body twitched twice.

“Hmm…” Hou Longtao looked at the extremely sexy and seductive performance of the three mothers and daughters in front of him, feeling a surge of lust. He stretched out his hands. “Babies…”

The Xingyue sisters quickly came over and held the man’s hands.

“Ah… ah…” Hou Longtao’s body tensed, and he thrust his butt upwards. “Sister Ya… good… good mouth…”

The Xingyue sisters felt the strength in the man’s hands, as if they could know how good he felt right now. Their hearts were also filled with excitement. They and their lover were connected in body and soul. “Husband…”

“Hmm…” Shi Ya tightly furrowed her brows, and a large amount of sperm quickly filled her mouth.

Hou Longtao drew a circle in the air with his finger.

Shi Ya swallowed the “nutrients” in her mouth and turned around on the recliner, pointing her pantyhose-clad buttocks at the man.

Hou Longtao got up and knelt behind the female director, pinching her fat buttocks. With a “tearing” sound, he tore the thin pantyhose and pulled apart her already soaked white panties. Without resistance, the massager in Shi Ya’s body was squeezed out of her elastic vaginal wall with a “puff” and fell on the recliner, still buzzing. “Ah…” She let out a sigh of emptiness or relief.

Hou Longtao grabbed Shi Ya’s butt cheeks and inserted his big dick into her vagina, starting to thrust at a steady pace. “Ah… good… very good…”

“Longtao…” Shi Ya almost fell down at the first thrust, and then every time the man’s thick, long meat stick was inserted into the deepest part of her body, she would roll her eyes back and open her mouth wide, as if the huge object had pierced through her body and broken out of her mouth. Her feeling was indeed like that.

Spring Ninja stroked the man’s chest and back, kissing his arms, while Autumn Ninja caressed his buttocks. Hou Longtao bent down, pulled open Shi Ya’s top, and squeezed her breasts hard like milking a cow. Spring Ninja massaged the man’s strong back with a pair of soft jade hands, and Autumn Ninja’s slender fingers moved in his butt crack, pressing his anus.

Sakura Kiyomi and Sakura Fubuki turned their mother around, held her legs, kissed her white, full buttocks, and used ice cubes to cool her hot skin.

Tamako kept shivering. Because of the stiffness of her muscles, her body’s twisting seemed very mechanical.

Sakura Kiyomi and Sakura Fubuki tasted their mother’s beautiful buttocks while glancing sideways at the master who was wildly fucking Shi Ya, their eyes full of teasing.

Hou Longtao felt Autumn Ninja’s fingers enter his body, and he squeezed Shi Ya’s breasts tightly, releasing his essence.

“Ah…!” Shi Ya shouted, first feeling a sharp pain in her chest, and then her uterus was hit by the hot yang essence [semen]. The intense pleasure made her mind go blank.

Hou Longtao released the breasts he had grabbed until they were bruised and purple, rolled off the recliner, and walked towards Tamako with a lewd smile.

Summer Ninja and Winter Ninja had already put on panties with fake dildos at some point. They turned Shi Ya over, one kneeling under the recliner, fucking her mouth, and the other kneeling on the recliner, fucking her hole.

Hou Longtao put his left arm around Tamako, put his tongue in her mouth, and rubbed her breasts with his right hand.

“Hmm… um…” Tamako greedily sucked the man’s tongue. The master’s favor still made her very excited.

Sakura Kiyomi took a new piece of ice and pushed it into her mother’s vagina with two fingers. “Master, ready.”

“Ah…” Although Tamako had known this would happen, she still twisted violently.

Hou Longtao turned to Tamako’s back, grabbed her breasts with both hands, and thrust his butt forward. The two screamed at the same time. A piece of ice separated the woman’s uterus and the man’s glans. The piercing coldness spread from that point to their whole bodies. Although this was not a proper ice and fire nine heavens [a complex sexual technique], the hot vagina and penis, plus the ice cubes, were not much different…(Golden scales are not things in the pool)
