Shen Fang took a sip of champagne and loosened his tie.

"What's wrong with Goldman Sachs getting involved? How can we get a piece of the pie without putting in some effort? Besides, do you think the landlord can control everything? We're Tencent, our goal is to reach for the stars. It's normal for our competitors to be envious and want a share of the pie if the landlord wants to take such a big piece of our pie. Sister Xin, we're the house now, they're begging us."

"Young boss, I'm just afraid that if they find out, they'll cause trouble for us."

"Sister Xin, you're overthinking it. The higher we stand, the more money they make. We're the masters, and they're the beggars. Besides, do you really think Goldman Sachs is worse than the landlords?"

"President Shen, the Landlord Association has a lot of power, and their methods are extremely ruthless."

Shen Fang sneered: "Whether it's black or not is none of my business. If they dare to use force against me, I'll make sure these old bastards know what it means to be tough."

"Sister Xin, in the world of capital, money is king, that's the basics. But there's another point: when a company has connections, credibility, and controls people's livelihoods, becoming an indispensable part of people's lives, then so-called capital tactics will be completely useless to us. Besides, Sister Xin, Tencent's path is already on the right track. All we need to do now is to steadily and surely complete the layout."

Xu Xin nodded.

"Okay, boss, whatever you say."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Sister Xin, you've just been in Hong Kong for too long and think that some people there can do whatever they want. If they dared to do that on the mainland, there would be plenty of people to teach them a lesson. It's just that Hong Kong is a financial city where money is everything, so you don't need to take those old fogies seriously."

Xu Xin smiled wryly: "After all, he is a prominent figure. Besides, don't we business people believe in making money through harmony?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "It's fine to make money through harmony, but to try to sell nearly 20% of the newly issued shares in one go is clearly an attempt to fleece investors. This will cause market volatility and make investors afraid. Goldman Sachs is just the first step. You should also notify JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and HSBC. It's not a big deal for two people to fight each other. Get a few more people to play along with them."

"President Shen, aren't you afraid they'll join forces?"

"Join forces? What for? To short Tencent? Only a fool would do that. Tencent has plenty of funds. Doing this will only tie up their own money. The China Securities Regulatory Commission isn't just sitting idly by either."

"I'm afraid they'll disgust people."

"Don't worry, rest assured, we can sit back and relax."

Looking at the incredibly confident Shen Fang, Xu Xin couldn't help but think that this young boss really didn't care about anyone and dared to play around with even conglomerates.

The reason why Shen Fang dared to do this was because he had the confidence. Although the purpose of Tencent's IPO was to raise funds, Tencent was not short of money at the moment. Raising funds was just to develop the company faster, so he was not afraid of these people at all.

The main problem is that the people in the landlord's association are too ruthless. They want to buy up newly issued shares and reap the profits, exploiting ordinary investors. How can that be allowed? It's fine for Chen Fang to take what others take, but if others take what he takes, sorry, he'll leave something behind first.
