Chapter 484 - 454 International Broker

"What!" Huang Weicheng was shocked.

How is that possible!

It was evening, well past ten o’clock, and it was Friday night to boot.

How could the court possibly issue a summons at this time?

Don’t the court staff need to rest?

And, the trial date had even been set, for tomorrow morning, no less.

Who the hell could make the court issue a summons late at night and set the trial for tomorrow?

Could it be Xu Yang?

Is Xu Yang really that powerful?

He’s just a billionaire with a few hundred billion, right?

Still not as rich as me!

Even with the relationship with tycoon Zhang Yimin, it couldn’t be possible to do this, right?

"I got it, wait for my call."

Huang Weicheng hung up the phone with his general manager and immediately dialed Xu Yang’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

Huang Weicheng immediately said, "Xu Yang, Han Country’s DK Company is suing my game company. It’s you who’s behind this, isn’t it? Do you even understand the industry? It’s very difficult to define game plagiarism nowadays, and moreover, DK Company is from Han Country—it’s just a fraction of the size of my game company. Do you think it could win this lawsuit?"

Xu Yang replied with a faint smile, "I’ve already had someone buy DK Company. Now, DK Company is a Huaxia company, which makes suing you a lot easier."

"What!"

Huang Weicheng’s eyes widened.

This guy had actually managed to buy DK Company in such a short time?

And he’d even arranged for the court to issue a summons and set the trial for tomorrow morning.

All this, damn it, one would have to be extremely powerful to pull off such a feat!

In fact, what he didn’t know was just how formidable Xu Yang’s commercial warfare team was.

An extensive network of relationships had already been laid out.

Dealing with someone like Huang Weicheng was simply too easy.

Though Xu Yang was only a billionaire worth a few hundred billion, under the operation of this professional team, he could easily outdo trillionaires.

Returning to his senses, Huang Weicheng said gravely, "Even so, don’t expect to bring me down. The definition of game plagiarism is very complex, even CF wasn’t judged as plagiarism. My game certainly won’t be judged as plagiarism either!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang simply chuckled, "If I was able to shut down your live streaming platform and so many forums in such a short time, do you think I would discuss game plagiarism with you in court? Let me tell you, at the trial tomorrow, no matter what your lawyers say, the court will rule that your game is plagiarized. You just wait to pay up!"

Huang Weicheng was stunned.

Thinking over Xu Yang’s words, there really wasn’t any flaw in them.

The man had managed to shut down his live streaming platform and lots of forums in such a short time.

In such short notice, he had acquired DK Company and managed to have the court issue a summons, with a trial set for tomorrow morning.

Xu Yang didn’t need to talk about game plagiarism at all—he could just have it ruled directly.

Whatever his lawyers would say was pointless.

Suddenly, Huang Weicheng felt a profound sense of powerlessness wash over him.

He remembered what Xu Yang had said before, that he would regret it.

Back then, he had scoffed at those words.

Now, he believed them wholeheartedly.

He regretted it.

For the sake of coveting the twenty percent stake in Wei Yongxiong’s company, wanting to have Wei Yongxiong work for him,

He had gotten on the wrong side of Xu Yang, leading to losses of tens of billions now.

His game company might even be toppled.

Thinking this, Huang Weicheng softened his tone and said, "Xu Yang, we never really had any animosity between us. I targeted you to mediate on behalf of Wei Yongxiong. The situation has escalated to this point against my wishes. Let’s settle this matter. I can promise that I won’t target you anymore, and if you need anything in the future and I can help, I will definitely do it. How about that?"

```

"Not good at all," Xu Yang responded with a cold laugh, "I told you not to get involved with Wei Yongxiong’s affairs, but you insisted on doing so. Since you’ve gotten involved, you must face the consequences. You’d better be prepared to lose everything to bankruptcy!"

After that, Xu Yang hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone on the phone, Huang Weicheng’s face gradually darkened.

Xu Yang’s words were definitely not a bluff.

With things having come this far, Xu Yang would certainly not let him off the hook; he was definitely out to bankrupt him.

If he were in Xu Yang’s shoes, he would do the same, such was the cruelty of the business world.

He took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and dialed a number from his phone’s contact list.

This number had been in his contacts for a long time but had never been used.

Soon, the call was answered.

A hearty laugh came through the phone, "Mr. Huang, good morning... oh wait, good evening! What brings you to call me at this late hour?"

The person on the other end, named Wang Minghui, was a Han Country national currently in Han Country.

He was an international fixer, specialized in money laundering.

Huang Weicheng had met him during a trip to Han Country and they had exchanged phone numbers.

Wang Minghui had hoped to turn him into a client, but he had not been interested.

He believed he had no need to launder money.

And so, the number just lay in his contact list, unused.

He never expected that one day he would actually need this person’s services.

With no other choice, since the court would rule tomorrow morning and his assets would surely be transferred to Xu Yang’s name by force, he had to transfer his cash.

Ever since he switched to the internet business, the money he made was kept mostly in the bank; he didn’t buy stocks or make other investments—it was all cash, plain and simple.

Cash assets are relatively easy to transfer.

Of course, ’easy’ is relative to other types of assets.

Right now, he had twenty billion in cash.

There was no way he could transfer such a large amount of cash overseas before the court session the next morning.

Therefore, he had no choice but to turn to Wang Minghui.

Huang Weicheng cut to the chase, "I have twenty billion in cash that will belong to someone else by tomorrow morning. Can you transfer this money to my overseas account before 8 AM tomorrow?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing this, Wang Minghui’s eyes lit up.

His profession was money laundering, and he had an exceptionally strong network of connections.

Transferring twenty billion overnight sounded like a fairy tale.

But for a professional like him, it was possible.

Moving twenty billion in cash was definitely big business.

And so, Wang Minghui chuckled, "Mr. Huang, please don’t doubt my expertise. It’s not a matter of 8 o’clock; I can get it done before dawn in Hua Xia. Of course, as you know, we’re not philanthropists; we’re not in the business of charity. We charge a fee."

Huang Weicheng naturally knew a fee was involved and offered, "I know. How about two billion for your service?"

"Two billion?" Wang Minghui smirked disdainfully, "Mr. Huang, our industry doesn’t charge a flat rate, we charge a percentage, seventy percent."

In reality, his fees ranged from thirty to sixty percent.

Whether it was thirty percent, forty to fifty percent, or sixty percent, depended on many factors, such as the relationship, the amount of money involved, and so on.

He claimed seventy percent because he was taking advantage of Huang Weicheng’s ignorance of the industry.

And seeing Huang Weicheng’s urgency, he even bumped up the fee a bit more.

Upon hearing this, Huang Weicheng nearly bit his tongue in frustration.

Damn it, he had worked so hard to accumulate this money, and now this guy wanted to take seventy percent of it in one go.

It was like being robbed.

He couldn’t help but protest, "Aren’t those fees a bit high? Can’t you give me a discount?"
