Chapter 86 Dangerous Sudden Wealth: Fishing in Troubled Waters, Seeking Revenge for His Wife
Just as Song Ying had thought, even if ordinary people saw a business opportunity, they wouldn't dare or wouldn't have the ability to control so much cash flow to acquire shares.
But for the capital cities of Qin, Wen, and Zhao, this was not a difficult task.
Wen Haiyan has already stated that he will not allow Wen's partners to cooperate with Xu's anymore, and his intention to squeeze Xu's out of business is all too clear.
At this point, Xu Shengshan and Xu Lanyan would definitely believe that they were buying up Xu's stocks under the guise of the Wen family.
In this way, even if Qin Shu only acquires 20%, the Xu family will not bother to find out the truth; they will only think about quickly acquiring more shares to avoid the Wen family seizing the initiative.
"First, muddy the waters, then make the Xu family aware of the crisis, so that they can fish in troubled waters, buy low and sell high in a short period of time, and thus quickly reap huge profits..."
Song Ying could almost see the tragic scene unfolding before her eyes at the Xu family.
Xiu Gou, who had always pretended to be weak while actually being strong, finally revealed his gleaming white fangs and displayed his ferocious instincts.
Song Ying suddenly remembered that when they were performing in the square today, Xu Lanyan kept saying that doing business should be about first come, first served, but Qin Shu said that the law of the jungle is the only unchanging rule in business.
In comparison, Xu Lanyan, a so-called entrepreneur who got rich through connections, is far inferior to a wealthy merchant family like the Qin family.
“It’s a good thing I’m no match for you,” Song Ying couldn’t help but feel relieved. “Otherwise, if I fought you, I wouldn’t even know how I died.”
"Where are you not a match? You're just being modest, and besides, you don't like these things. Furthermore... if I were your opponent, what's wrong with me admitting defeat?"
No one knows better than Qin Shu how smart his wife is.
Song Ying's SLOVEY brand, which she started as a hobby, has become one of the top brands in the design industry. If she were to really get serious about something, ten Xu Lanyans wouldn't be able to match her.
Unfortunately, all she wanted to do was act.
However, this is not bad.
Money is enough to get by; the most important thing is to do what you love.
Anyway, as long as he earns money at home, that's fine.
Everything that belongs to him is hers, and even he belongs to her.
Thinking this, Qin Shu tightened his grip on Song Ying's arm.
The two were discussing a deal worth hundreds of millions, but the audience couldn't hear a single word and was getting increasingly anxious.
Is there anything that we, the esteemed VIPs, cannot hear?
[Hey, staff, quickly shove the microphone into the mouths of the winning and losing couple!]
[I'm so curious, I can't hear a word they're saying! What are they whispering sweet nothings about? And why are they covering their mouths? I'm dying of curiosity!]
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Wen Jinzhao was also curious about who was using the Wen family's name to acquire Xu's shares.
She speculated, "Could it be Dad? He doesn't want you to have anything to do with Xu Lanyan, and he doesn't know that you've seen through Xu Lanyan's true colors. What if he believes what Xu Lanyan has been spreading and decides to directly acquire Xu's shares to force Xu Lanyan out?"
"The old man wouldn't do something that loses money."
Wen Yize's business acumen and awareness were all personally taught by Wen Haiyan, so no one knew his father better than him.
"He only released a little bit of information, and it caused Xu's stock to plummet by 10 points. Later, it even fell to almost 20 points. If he really didn't want the Xu family to live and insisted that the Wen family was the only one that mattered, would those people not have to follow his lead? Let alone 20 points, he could bankrupt Xu's within a week."
"Besides, do you think the old man can't see that Xu Lanyan is just using my name to fool those who are watching? After all, if I were really helping Xu Lanyan, using the company's resources to help her, the news would have reached the old man's ears long ago."
To become one of the wealthiest people in the capital, their methods cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary businessmen.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a strategist.
"So it seems that Dad still believes in you. The reason he didn't take action against the Xu family before was probably because he felt sorry for you and didn't want to hurt you."
Wen Jinzhao sighed, then thought of the question from earlier, "Then tell me, if it wasn't Dad, who would have acquired Xu's shares?"
"Who else could it be?"
Wen Yize leaned back against the pillows behind the hospital bed, folded his hands behind his head.
"There's no reason for the Zhao family to get involved in this mess. Who else could it be but that madman Qin Shu?"
"Outsiders only know that he has been doing e-sports for the past two years. Even Qin Yong and his friends thought that he was just starting a business with his friends and had achieved some success. But they don't know that he had already set his sights on foreign countries since he went abroad to study. If it weren't for the fact that he appeared on the British Museum's live broadcast that day, and an old classmate from Wall Street happened to see the program and mention it to me, I wouldn't have known that this guy had been doing so many things abroad in recent years."
"Back then, it was because Old Master Qin dared to do things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to do that the Qin family went from being one of the three powers alongside us to becoming a force that the Wen and Zhao families could hardly match. In this generation, Qin Yong is conservative and always seeks stability in his actions. Only Qin Shu, like the old man, dares to take such a big risk."
Wen Yize's tone revealed his appreciation.
Wen Jinzhao thought for a moment and said, "Risk and opportunity coexist. The fact that he dared to take this step already shows that he is much better than ordinary people."
"Yes, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. Isn't this a perfect example right now? We created momentum, and when the snipe and the clam fought, he ended up reaping the benefits."
Wen Yize sighed.
He used to be quite resentful of Qin Shu.
But now...
Wen Yize admitted, "There's nothing we can do. Who told them to be so bold? It's also Xu's bad luck that they got swindled before their fortunes collapsed."
Wen Jinzhao sat down, picked up the washed apple next to him, and took a bite.
"I think Brother Qin might not be just after money, after all, there are risks involved. But Xu Lanyan was too aggressive before, always trying to bully Sister Ying. Although she never succeeded, she has a way of making people feel disgusted. So this time, Brother Qin went so far as to do this, most likely to get revenge for Sister Ying."
At this point, Wen Jinzhao looked at his older brother and said, "Brother, if Brother Qin is really as powerful as you say, you should really be glad that he didn't use you as a scapegoat."
"I didn't do anything to him, why should he bother with me..."
Halfway through his sentence, Wen Yize seemed to remember something, and suddenly became dejected, falling silent.
"What are you doing to me? Are you feeling guilty?"
"What do you mean?"
Wen Yize also grabbed an apple, turned around, took a big bite, snorted, and tried to save face.
"How dare you say that to me? You'd better reflect on yourself: I'm your own brother! And you, as my sister, keep calling me by my full name, while Qin Shu and Song Ying, who have absolutely no relation to you, are called 'Brother Qin' and 'Sister Ying' so affectionately. Anyone who didn't know better would think your name is Qin Jinzhao!"
"I do what I want, so what's it to you?"
Wen Jinzhao rolled her eyes at Wen Yize, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and stood up!
“I remember now, you had nothing to do late at night and insisted on racing with Brother Qin. As a result, not only was your car confiscated, but you were also detained at the traffic police station for several days. It was only after Dad found someone that you were released.”
Wen Yize: "..."
Grass (a type of plant)!
The memory performance is just too good!
-
Xu Lanyan never expected that things would develop in such an uncontrollable direction.
I thought that my words, after being broadcast live on "The Princess's Romance," would provide some temporary relief for the Xu Group—and in fact, they did have an effect.
However, the problem was that news soon came that the Wen family was aggressively acquiring Xu's shares at rock-bottom prices.
"Lanyan, what are we going to do now! If the Wen family gets the lion's share, then the Xu family will really have to change its name and identity!"
Xu Shengshan's voice was irritable and anxious.
Now he has placed all his hopes on Xu Lanyan.
I just hope my daughter can come up with a solution soon.
"This must be Wen Haiyan's idea. Wen Yize is in the hospital now, he certainly wouldn't do this."
Xu Lanyan frowned as she said this.
"It seems that the Wen family is determined to target the Xu family. Dad, we must acquire at least 51% of the shares to take control."
"Okay—Dad, you need to find a way to acquire the scattered shares of the Xu Group as soon as possible. We need to have enough shares to avoid being put in a passive position. We absolutely cannot let Wen Haiyan's plan succeed, otherwise even if I beg Wen Yize, he won't be able to help me."
This was the best solution Xu Lanyan could think of.
but……
"Lanyan, you don't know, the shareholders who hold shares now know that you and Young Master Wen are getting married soon, and they are all hoping that Xu's stock will rise back up, or even surpass the original price. So none of them are willing to sell their shares at the current price. Even if they are, the prices they ask for are all ridiculously high, even much higher than the normal price before."
Xu Shengshan was on the verge of collapse. These people really dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. He didn't know where they got the courage to demand such a price.
"We can just spend more money. The most important thing now is the shares! Dad, as long as the group is still around, we can earn that money back sooner or later. Don't be greedy for small gains and end up losing big!"
Xu Shengshan certainly understood this principle, the problem was—
"At this price, even if we combine all our cash flow, we can only buy 10% of the shares. Any more than that, and we won't have the money!"
The most critical problem is not having the money to buy it.
Xu Lanyan pressed her forehead, took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"We'll mortgage those two villas in Blue River Bay to the bank. If that doesn't work, we'll mortgage all our jewelry and luxury cars too. As long as we can buy 20% of the stock, the amount of money isn't the issue."
"But Lan Yan..."
"No buts! Dad, we don't have time! If we wait any longer, Wen Haiyan will buy up the stocks, and the Xu family will be called the Wen family!"
"...Okay, then let's do it your way!"
Xu Shengshan gritted his teeth, hung up the phone, and began contacting potential buyers for real estate mortgages and stock acquisitions.
Over the years, the Xu family has relied entirely on their daughter's intelligence to get to where they are today.
This time, my daughter will surely be able to lead Ms. Xu out of danger!
-
"The fish has taken the bait."
Looking at the messages on her phone, Qin Shu smiled.
Xu Shengshan bought 20% of the group's shares at a price 40% higher than the market price.
With the news spread by Xu Lanyan, the price of Xu's stock fluctuated within a short period of less than two hours. With this 20% stake, Qin Shu made a net profit of 63 million!
Gazing at the six zeros in the text message notification, those captivating fox-like eyes became even more alluring, yet also increasingly dangerous.
Fei Yang's roguish voice rang out as he stared straight at the camera: "Wives, give us five stars and boost the rating!"
