Wang Zheng replied with a smile: "Exactly. My family excels in high-end commercial office operations in Shanghai, intermediary services for large-scale asset transactions, and connecting with national Private Equity Channels. I have a large group of Buyers in hand who prefer high-quality assets in core cities. The Xu Family's assets this time are a perfect match. After we buy them, we can immediately resell them at a premium to these Buyers!"
Jiang Cheng nodded. These four people each managed their own area, and together they formed a seamless Scheme.
This was why Jiang Cheng didn't like to hog all the benefits.
While hogging all the benefits might fill you up, it could easily lead to overeating.
It might even make you a Target for Everyone.
Even if your position is high, to get something done, a single word from you would make the Relevant Departments below run their legs off.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng couldn't do this.
After all, Beijing isn't home to just one family.
If he set this precedent,
other families would follow suit, and the order would be thrown into chaos.
So, having them take the public heat while he stayed out of the spotlight was the best situation.
After all, no one can cover every angle.
Jiang Cheng finalized the plan:
"The division of labor is set as follows: The Shen Family handles the local asset acquisition in Beijing + ownership confirmation + quick transfer, and local risk mitigation."
"Wang Congcong handles the Creditor Committee liaison + asset screening + resource Facilitation."
"The Qin Family handles Overseas Funds + Bridge Financing + Discreet Proxy Holdings, addressing the Xu Family's core need for Foreign Exchange to fill Overseas Gaps."
"The Wang Zheng Family handles Fundraising in Shanghai + Buyer Channels + Short-term Operations."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Jiang Cheng's words.
No one asked pointless questions like "Then what do you do?"
Shen An grinned: "With this Facilitation, I feel we're definitely going to profit from this Muddy Situation!"
Wang Congcong chimed in, clinking glasses: "Let's toast! Fleece Evergrande, Get In and Out Fast, and Secure the Profits!"
Wang Zheng also raised his glass, and the group clinked glasses crisply.
Seeing the men raise their glasses, the Three Women nearby silently picked up their juice glasses and drank.
Although Jiang Churan and Xu Yan didn't understand the intricacies,
they were utterly shocked inside.
Isn't Evergrande this year's Richest?
They're actually targeting Evergrande?
"Let me add one thing: we must keep this under wraps throughout, the lower-key the better. Dismantling and harvesting such a Real Estate Tycoon sounds impressive but is hard to explain if it gets out. It could easily draw Criticism from the industry, attract Regulatory Scrutiny, and bring Creditors Swarming. All transactions must go through Offshore Shells and Asset Management Channels. Our names must not appear in the open at all."
He paused, scanned the table, and added a practical rule:
"Externally, it's always a Third-party Asset Management takeover. We only provide Behind-the-scenes Funding and Facilitation—no Endorsements, no Public Statements, no open ties with Evergrande's official side."
Wang Congcong immediately dropped his earlier playful tone and nodded seriously:
"Understood, Brother Cheng hit the nail on the head. If this blows up, my family could get dragged in too, with all the trouble from public opinion and regulators. When we liaise, we'll only appear as Private Intermediaries, leaving no official traces of the Wanda Group."
Shen An also agreed, understanding the nuances of the circle as a Beijing Veteran:
"Got it. Local transfers and clearances will all go through Shadow Companies under my family, with no involvement from the main Shen Family. Keep your mouths shut; what's said In This Room stays here to avoid Complications."
Wang Zheng responded last, his attitude straightforward:
"Then I'll handle the liaison with Shanghai Buyers and fundraising, also using Intermediary Channels, without exposing our Small Circle. Returns and Exits will go through Hidden Accounts to ensure a clean Finish."
A hint of approval flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes as he raised his glass and lightly tapped the table:
"Let's proceed like this. Make Money Quietly; not a word leaks out until the cash is in hand."
The four raised their glasses again, clinking them lightly, without the earlier noise, leaving only unspoken 默契.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had roughly settled matters, Jiang Churan thoughtfully picked up another bite for him.
Jiang Cheng casually ate it, then reached out to stroke her smooth hair before naturally placing his hand on her waist.
Xu Yan, sitting nearby, had initially wanted to instinctively pick up a bite for Jiang Cheng too.
But as she moved her chopsticks, she realized she might have gotten a bit too into the role.
She almost exposed herself.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's hand around Jiang Churan's waist, Xu Yan couldn't help but glance at it repeatedly out of the corner of her eye.
That hand was only a dozen centimeters away from her... After staring for a while, a sly smile curled at the corner of Xu Yan's mouth.
Her body subtly leaned slightly toward Jiang Churan.
Her left hand under the table hung down as if casually.
Then... her fingertips, silently, with a hint of 试探 and playfulness, lightly brushed against the back of Jiang Cheng's right hand, which was resting on the chair back behind Jiang Churan.
The touch was cool and gentle, like a feather grazing, carrying 明目张胆的撩拨 and 暗戳戳的刺激.
Jiang Cheng's fingers twitched almost imperceptibly.
Considering Jiang Churan had both hands on the table,
so this hand was Xu Yan's?
Although it was almost certain, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but turn his neck to confirm.
As he turned, Jiang Churan also tilted her head to look at Jiang Cheng.
Habitually, she flashed a sweet smile: "What's wrong?"
At her question, Xu Yan, who had turned her face behind her, immediately blinked at Jiang Cheng, even showing a mischievous 浅笑.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng calmly shook his head: "Nothing, just checking if you're enjoying the food?"
Jiang Churan smiled sweetly again: "It's quite tasty, delicious..."
"That's good."
...This 隐秘的小动作 happened in the shadows under the table, where it should have gone unnoticed.
However, Shen Shuang, sitting next to Xu Yan, felt a bit hot at that moment.
She instinctively wanted to turn and see if she could open a crack in the window behind her for ventilation.
She slightly turned her body, her gaze sweeping back.
With that one glance, she I happened to catch a glimpse of those fingers briefly touching and then casually separating under the table through the gap beside Xu Yan..
At this sight, her whole body instantly froze.
As if struck by a faint electric current, her mind went "buzz," blank.
This Xu Yan... she actually... under the table... secretly touched Jiang Cheng's hand?
