Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Thawing Previous Grudges
Overwhelming news plunged the entire Eastern Racing League into an extremely embarrassing situation.
And it seemed the direction of the news had already been manipulated.
Chen Yu's brows were furrowed as he watched the news on television.
The big shots in the capital should have control over many media outlets, so how did the narrative end up like this?
He glanced at Li Kaiquan, who was dining with him, "Mr. Li, it seems that the media in the capital has been taken over by Charlie's family!"
Li Kaiquan sighed helplessly, "Our country's media developed rather late, and many aspects are not well-established; even a lot of media had substantial foreign investments at their start..."
At this point, Li Kaiquan's face was also full of melancholy.
Even he could not possibly control all the media in the capital.
"It is said that the largest foreign stake in the capital's media seems to be William's family!" Jin Lingsu suddenly spoke up.
But her nonchalant demeanor could easily irritate people.
Even Li Kaiquan frowned.
Chen Yu didn't care about those things; he understood that Jin Lingsu was reminding him.
"Right, William's family!"
Chen Yu hurriedly finished a few bites of his meal and then dialed a phone number.
"Hello, who may I speak with?"
A familiar and sweet voice sounded, making Chen Yu unconsciously pause for a moment.
"Katherine?" Chen Yu asked uncertainly.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, you finally called! Can I help you with something?"
Chen Yu cleared his throat, "About your William's family's media business in the capital, could you possibly help me..."
"You're talking about the matter between Charlie's family and the Eastern Racing League, right?"
Chen Yu's pupils dilated slightly, "You know about this?"
"Of course! Mr. Reynolds from Charlie's family has already been in discussions with Mr. Victor."
"They've been discussing?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow in inquiry, "What do you mean?"
"Originally, Charlie's family wanted to take over the Eastern Racing League completely, and had everything set up. But after Mr. Reynolds saw you at the race, they had to find a compromise."
Chen Yu immediately understood that both Reynolds of Charlie's family and Victor of William's family had once been his patients.
As long as he was involved, all problems could be solved.
And there were also a lot of orders between him and Charlie's family.
"In my view, we might as well sit down together and have a good talk. Car racing is supposed to be fair and just; the way things are now benefits no one."
Katherine on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited.
"Mr. Chen, since you have agreed to step in, that makes things easier. I'll contact Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Victor right away." Experience more tales on m v|l e'm,p| y- r
After the call ended, Li Kaiquan stared at Chen Yu with an odd look.
"You... you can actually get Charlie's family and William's family to sit down together and discuss with us!"
These two families were not just ancient royal bloodlines of the West, but also controlled economic power of enormous magnitude.
Even many companies in the East had investments from these two powerful families.
Yet Chen Yu appeared indifferent, "All I did was happen to treat the heads of both families."
Li Kaiquan's breathing became noticeably more rapid.
Chen Yu's medical skills were known to him, but he had originally thought that Chen Yu was only somewhat famous in Suzhou City; he hadn't realized that Chen Yu had already achieved international renown.
The current situation of the Eastern Racing League was not very good, and if they could sit down with both the Charlies family and William's family to talk things over, perhaps they could find a way out of their current predicament.
"That would be truly wonderful!"
Li Kaiquan excitedly grabbed Chen Yu's arm, after all, he owned a part of the shares in the Eastern Racing League.
The next morning at eight o'clock, at the Dragon Soar Tower in the capital.
Reynolds and Victor had actually arrived here early, having rushed to the capital overnight after getting the news from Chen Yu.
"Mr. Chen!"
The two men nearly cried out in unison and then stepped forward to grasp Chen Yu's hand.
Compared to before, both men appeared much younger and in far better health.
The titans of the capital gaped at this scene, every one of their eyes wide.
Nobody in the world had ever been this close to the heads of these two great families at the same time.
"Gentlemen, let's put aside the pleasantries for now and focus on resolving the matter at hand!"
Without saying anything further, they both took out the contracts they had prepared.
There were a total of six world-class top racing teams, and the East only had one, the Eastern Racing League, with the remaining five all in the West.
Originally, the Charlies family intended to directly take over the Eastern Racing League and completely dominate the field, then design their rules.
Now, to bring out a contract to preserve the Eastern Racing League and even negotiate on equal terms was entirely out of respect for Chen Yu.
The magnates of the capital felt as if they were dreaming, the terms of the contract exceeding their imagination.
However, one clause surprised them.
It was to extract a portion of the shares from the Eastern Racing League and then select some resources from the Charlies family's team to form a seventh team, completely under Chen Yu's control.
If it were under any other circumstance, such demands would be considered draconian, but when it involved Chen Yu, everyone saw it differently.
Moreover, the team split off from the Eastern Racing League was all from the Tong Family, so the impact on them was not that significant.
They barely thought about it and immediately approved the decision.
Chen Yu, however, was somewhat frustrated; he indeed had little interest in the racing business, and now, quite by accident, he had his own world-class team.
Once all the contracts were signed, Victor wasted no time in approaching Chen Yu.
"Mr. Chen, lately my heart hasn't been well; it often beats rapidly out of the blue. Apart from the team matters, I need you to prescribe a few medicines for me again this trip."
Chen Yu casually took Victor's pulse.
"This isn't a serious illness, just a normal phenomenon as your body recovers. I'll prescribe you some calming medicines to send over later."
"Ah, how can we trouble Mr. Chen to deliver the medicine personally? Let's do this, we'll leave it to Katherine to handle."
Chen Yu didn't say much and just nodded.
Reynolds, on the other hand, had booked a restaurant nearby.
Reynolds was extremely fascinated with Eastern culture, especially with culinary culture, to which he had a fervent pursuit.
The restaurant he had booked was the most famous Qingfeng Bistro in the capital.
Soon after, the negotiation parties settled down in the largest luxury private room of Qingfeng Bistro.
With a glass of wine filled to the brim, Reynolds stood up excitedly.
"To collaborate with all of you is truly a fortunate event for my Charlies family; today, we shall not return until we are drunk! As for past affairs, let's consider them water under the bridge!"
