Chapter 2046 Laying Out the Bai Family's Plans
"Although the Bai family is a large clan, there is another person with a different surname in their village. More than a hundred years ago, he fled famine and came to Baijia Village. He was taken in by the Bai family and settled down."
Pi Yangyang said slowly.
All this information is in the documents.
"You mean the Kang family?" Su Xueqing also saw the message and asked suspiciously, "But the Kang family only has a dozen or so households, and they have absolutely no say in Baijia Village. Moreover, the Kang family has always been ostracized in Baijia Village. Do you want to use them to break the deadlock?"
“They don’t have much say, but Bai Kaixuan’s daughter-in-law is from the Kang family.” Pi Yangyang’s eyes flickered. “If it weren’t for this relationship, the Kang family would have been kicked out long ago.”
Su Xueqing asked with some suspicion, "And then?"
"Bai Kaixuan is an extremely selfish person. Because of this relationship, he disregarded the Bai family's objections and forcibly transferred a building materials company from the Bai family's assets to the Kang family. Bai Kaixin and several others have always been very dissatisfied with this, because they are also related by marriage."
Upon hearing this, Su Xueqing began to understand.
"Bai Kaixuan is doing this to secure more business for himself, isn't he?"
"Yes, he used the Kang family as a front to take over the building materials company. In reality, he was the one who controlled the company. The Kang family was just a figurehead."
Pi Yangyang chuckled.
"This...don't his brothers and the Bai family patriarch care?" Su Xueqing asked in surprise.
“Although Bai Kaixuan is selfish, he is also very smart,” Pi Yangyang said. “He has a close relationship with the big boss of the Bai family. No matter what the holiday is or it’s anyone’s birthday in the big boss’s family, he will always send a generous gift. Therefore, the big boss of the Bai family trusts him a lot. If something happens to the Bai family, it may not be effective for Bai Zhenxing to go to that big boss, but if Bai Kaixuan goes to him, it will be twice as effective.”
Su Xueqing nodded. "So, this person is indeed very smart."
Pi Yangyang hummed in agreement. "The five brothers appear to be a united front, but actually, the second oldest, Bai Kaixuan, and the fifth oldest, Bai Kaiyi, are the closest. The eldest, Bai Kaixin; the third, Bai Kaijin; and the fourth, Bai Kaishan, are also quite close. These three have been eyeing that building materials company, wanting to take it back from Bai Kaixuan. This has led to several conflicts among them..."
"If Bai Zhenxing hadn't intervened, the brothers might have turned against each other."
"As expected, when it comes to interests, there's no such thing as a monolithic entity." Su Xueqing suddenly realized. "So, you plan to start your scheme with Bai Kaixuan?"
Pi Yangyang nodded. "According to what I know, his building materials company, wire and cable company, and board company are all facing considerable problems. If I lend him a hand now, he might be able to be of use to me."
Su Xueqing hesitated and said, "But you said this person is extremely selfish. Aren't you afraid he'll repay kindness with enmity?"
“Since I’m going to help him, I’m sure I can control him!” Pi Yangyang said confidently. “He’s obsessed with surpassing his older brother and becoming the richest person in the Bai family. So I’ll just give him a big promise. As long as he’s greedy, he can’t possibly disobey me.”
Su Xueqing stared at Pi Yangyang and said somewhat strangely, "Should I say you're smart, or should I say you're bad?"
Pi Yangyang laughed and said, "You used to manage the Su Group and now you manage the Yan Group. Do you think you can lead a company to success if you're soft-hearted and only care about morality?"
Su Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with some emotion, "Yes, the business world is full of deceit and profit. As long as we stick to our bottom line and don't do anything immoral, that's enough."
Pi Yangyang said, "What you said is basically right. But for those who have no bottom line, I can also abandon my bottom line. Mercy will only bring trouble to myself."
Su Xueqing's eyes flickered, but this time, she did not refute.
Reality is often this brutal. You may be kind, but others may not be. They might even take advantage of your kindness and bite you hard.
Therefore, she does not object to Pi Yangyang sometimes using unconventional methods to deal with extraordinary people.
For a capable man, having a compassionate heart is far from enough; he must also have ruthless methods.
"Alright, I'll go discuss it with President Lan and see what the next step is. Don't worry about this matter; leave it to us."
Pi Yangyang looked at Su Xueqing's belly and said.
Su Xueqing sighed and said, "I'm not at the point where I need to be taken care of yet."
“Whether it’s the right time or not is up to me,” Pi Yangyang said firmly.
Then, he walked up to Su Xueqing, slowly bent down, put his ear to her stomach, and made a "shh" gesture.
Su Xueqing couldn't help but smile. "What are you thinking? It's only been a little over a month, what could you possibly hear?"
Pi Yangyang pressed his face tightly against her belly and listened for a full two minutes before getting up and saying with satisfaction, "Who said you can't hear it? It's almost two months along, you can hear the fetal heartbeat."
Su Xueqing rolled her eyes at him, "Are you a bat? You can't even hear a fetal heartbeat at this age? You'd need an ultrasound to hear it..."
Pi Yangyang chuckled, "I actually heard that, it's really strong! Our child will definitely be very healthy."
Su Xueqing was skeptical. "You really heard that?"
Pi Yangyang said seriously, "Have you forgotten that I'm a miracle doctor? If you can't even hear this, then I'm nothing but a damn miracle doctor."
After saying that, he waved his hand, walked out of the office, and went to find Lan Bowen.
Su Xueqing stood there, stunned, and touched her stomach in disbelief, murmuring, "Can you really hear it? How come I didn't feel anything at all?"
Pi Yangyang arrived at Lan Bowen's office, and Lan Bowen quickly stood up to greet him: "Chairman, what brings you here? I could have just called you if I needed anything..."
“You’re so busy, I can’t call you for everything, can I?” Pi Yangyang sat down on the sofa and pointed to the opposite side. “Do you have time? Let’s talk.”
Lan Bowen put down his pen, sat down opposite Pi Yangyang, and asked, "Chairman, what is it?"
"I'd like to know if all the building materials for our Chengnan Hospital are produced and sold in-house, or if some are purchased from outside?"
Once Lan Bowen sat down, Pi Yangyang asked directly.
Lan Bowen was puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly asked about this.
But he immediately replied, "Shanhe Infrastructure does have several building materials companies. When we acquired other family businesses, we also acquired two building materials companies. However, these building materials companies are not very large, so the building materials on the construction sites are not entirely self-produced."
"But rest assured, Chairman, all the building materials we purchase from outside have been personally reviewed by me. They are basically companies that have been cooperating with Shanhe Infrastructure for many years. There will be no problems with quality certification or production capacity."
Pi Yangyang nodded. "Now, I need you to do something."
Lan Bowen respectfully said, "Please give your instructions, Chairman."
"You're publicly tendering for building materials companies under the guise of a hospital project. I want one of those companies to win the bid."
Pi Yangyang said seriously.
Lan Bowen asked, puzzled, "Chairman, could you please tell me which company it is? We have very high requirements for building materials; only materials with international certifications can be used on the construction site."
"Are you familiar with Huading Building Materials from the Bai family?" Pi Yangyang asked casually.
Lan Bowen said, "I understand. It's a business owned by the Bai family of Xingyi, controlled by Bai Kaixuan, the second son of the Bai family. But on the surface, it's managed by the Kang family."
"Are there any problems with this company's qualifications and product certifications?" Pi Yangyang asked again.
Lan Bowen shook his head decisively, "That's no problem. Huading is a well-established building materials company. Their materials are all internationally certified. We've cooperated before, but this time, they didn't win the bid..."
Before he could finish speaking, a look of surprise and doubt appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Is the chairman planning to make moves against the Bai family?"
"Okay, you should try to get Huading to win the bid. If it exceeds our needs, you should try to export some of our own products."
Pi Yangyang said calmly.
Lan Bowen immediately understood and stood up respectfully, saying, "Yes, Chairman, I will make plans immediately."
Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, stood up and said, "We need to do this naturally, so that no one can tell that we are doing it on purpose. Whether Bai Kaixuan can be used by us depends on this."
Lan Bowen said confidently, "Chairman, don't worry. I have some connections with Bai Kaixuan. Even if I go easy on him, no one will suspect anything."
Pi Yangyang nodded in satisfaction and left Lan Bowen's office.
