No matter what, Xie Peng didn't come in vain today!

It seems Brother Yang's advice was indeed useful.

Local accent and sentiment can really move old acquaintances!

Especially since Xie Peng used his mother's pastry to evoke Wen Bao's unforgettable memories, which smoothly broke through Wen Bao's emotional barriers.

At least, it looks like Wen Bao is willing to help get the money, and it can be done, though he's asking too much.

After Xie Peng went back, he immediately told Zhang Hongyang about the situation.

Zhang Hongyang listened and was infuriated, slamming the table, cursing, "This Southeast Asian gangland scum really thinks he's something, huh? Asking for half, what a lion's share! Why doesn't he just ask for all of it? Hasn't he ever seen money before? Trying to become a fat corpse in one gulp?"

With Zhang Hongyang's rage flaring, Xie Peng could only obediently stand in his office, bowing his head and listening.

After Zhang Hongyang finished speaking, Xie Peng quickly played up to him, "Brother Yang, please don't be angry. I think the asking price is negotiable. After all, under your guidance, when I went to him today, he didn't immediately throw me out, and he even chatted with me a bit! He truly has the capability to get the money, which is already a great advantage, right?"

Zhang Hongyang's expression softened a bit, feeling a bit proud, saying, "Dealing with such scoundrels, I'm capable. Just a little strategy, and look, he softened up, didn't he? But he's asking for half the reward, it's really hard for me to manage that, and the entire Zhang Family wouldn't agree. How is this different from robbery?"

Xie Peng replied with some bitterness, "Yes, it's indeed a bit excessive, asking way too much. But... Brother Yang, can you perhaps see it from another perspective?"

"Hmm? What perspective?" Zhang Hongyang was a bit curious.

"The price, I think it can still be negotiated. On your side, discuss it with the family? As for my side, the reward you promised me, I can do without it. The most important thing is, only Wen Bao can do this. Agree to his terms, the money can come back, at least more than half of it, right? If we don't agree, all three hundred million US dollars will be gone, not even a coin will be seen! Sigh..."

Damn...

Xie Peng's perspective is a bit interesting.

Zhang Hongyang widened his eyes, pushing up his glasses frame, looking at his secretary in surprise, "Pengzi, your approach... your analysis makes some sense! Alright, you head out first, I'll discuss it with the family."

"Okay, Brother Yang, you discuss it first, I'll wait outside."

After Xie Peng exited, Zhang Hongyang immediately entered the family core group, initiating a multi-party voice call.

At this time, it was mid-morning on a weekend, everyone was already up, so they promptly joined the voice chat.

Zhang Hongyang briefed them on the situation, in short, he found a Southeast Asian contact who could get the money back, but they demanded 1.5 billion as a commission, asking the family core members for a decision.

This time, Old Man Zhang, Zhang Yuxing, and Du Yuesheng were really enraged, feeling that the demand was unreasonably excessive, and what kind of relationship has such a big face?

Zhang Hongyang, of course, didn't mention Wen Bao's name, just said the other party was very influential and could really do the job. Everyone found his demand unreasonable, yes it was, so let's discuss a bottom-line price?
