"Xiao Fa, what brings you here?"
"I came to see you because I was worried you were working too hard, so I made you some bird's nest soup."
Hearing this, Chen Yifan, who was standing to the side, became even more upset. It was bad enough that he wasn't allowed to go to the "One Dragon" (a euphemism for a romantic activity), but now he had to watch them being lovey-dovey.
"You two, that's enough! Can't you see there's a single guy standing here?"
"Oh, isn't this Manager Chen? Oh, you're here too."
"Can't you see me sitting here, a grown man like me?"
"Haha, I was so focused on Qianqian that I didn't notice her, I didn't notice her, sorry! Would you like some bird's nest too?"
"No need, my mouth is already stuffed with dog food, I feel like throwing up."
While Ye Qian and the others were waiting for news in their office, far away in the capital, Minister Wang was also reporting to Elder Huang.
"Mr. Huang, the local authorities have been complaining to our embassy, demanding that Lin Chen return the money."
"Hmph, money? What money? That's cryptocurrency, not real money!"
“Our embassy staff are using this as a pretext to keep them in check, but I’m curious why Lin Chen didn’t also target the Koreans at the same time?”
"This kid is pretty steady, and it's really unwise to provoke two countries at the same time. Look how happy the Koreans are watching the show now, they even wish they could help our Celestial Empire to fight against us."
"Haha, that's true."
"Besides, given Lin Chen's personality, I think the Korean might end up in trouble. You should keep an eye on him."
"Yes, Elder Huang."
The local officials, seeing that the Chinese government is so unyielding, are getting anxious. Now, there are disturbances all over the country, with many people staging sit-ins at government offices and immediately starting demonstrations.
In just the last two days, crime rates have increased several times over in various places.
There's no way around it; after partnering with six local banks, Huasuan Wealth Management has gained the trust of all the local residents.
Moreover, the interest rate is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary bank deposits. Although the money cannot be withdrawn, Douyin coins can be used directly in Douyin live broadcasts and Pinduoduo. They can also be used for payment at offline stores and restaurants, and can be used as normal currency.
In this situation, a large number of people will spend 80% of their monthly salary on Douyin coins and store them in a cost-effective investment platform.
If Huasuan Wealth Management had continued to operate according to this model, it would definitely have become a giant company. No one would have thought that Lin Chen would give up the opportunity to make money and choose to run away.
Lin Chen: I want to create a separate family tree!
The six banks that partnered with Huasuan Wealth Management fared even worse. After several of their branches were vandalized, they declared a state of emergency, closing all branches and directing customers to conduct business through online banking.
The official Xiao Ri Zi team is still negotiating with the Chinese embassy, but the embassy is clearly protecting Lin Chen, which makes the Xiao Ri Zi team extremely anxious, but they still have no way to resolve the issue.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen was not idle; instead, he was secretly holding video conferences with representatives of the other four South Korean conglomerates.
"You've all seen what Huasuan Wealth Management is up to with Xiaorizi, right?"
"Um."
"I'm planning to do it in South Korea too."
The representatives of the four conglomerates looked at each other, and then... went back to playing on their phones.
"Ahem, aren't you all nervous?"
"Why are you so nervous, Mr. Lin? Ever since we four major conglomerates were ripped off by Samsung last time, we haven't bought a single penny from any investment schemes. This has absolutely no impact on us."
"But it still has an impact on the people of South Korea, right? And that, in turn, will affect you, right?"
"President Lin, you underestimate us. We'll just push the president out to take the blame, and then the major conglomerates will pool their money to ensure the people have food to eat. Once this crisis is over, the people will be even more grateful to us."
Lin Chen was ashamed. Sure enough, the chaebols are the true rulers of Samsung. They are very clear about these methods.
"Alright, I'm not joking with you guys anymore. This time, I'm actually targeting Samsung. Samsung Bank will definitely be the first to be affected. Even if Samsung reacts quickly, it will still take at least three days. What you need to do is take advantage of these three days to frantically seize Samsung's market share in other industries."
The four chaebol representatives put away their phones and began to show serious expressions.
"Mr. Lin, I'm quite interested in this. But what if Samsung retaliates against us?"
This is also what the other conglomerates are worried about.
"Don't worry, this time, I guarantee I'll severely damage Samsung. By then, your companies will be stronger, and you won't be able to be easily manipulated by Samsung like last time."
Although only Lotte Group was directly attacked by Samsung in the last incident, the three conglomerates of Hyundai, LG, and SK were scared away by Samsung, which made them feel quite aggrieved.
But there's nothing we can do about it; Samsung has the biggest influence.
One company accounts for 20 percent of South Korea's GDP!
Who wouldn't want to be a local tyrant like that!
The representatives of the four major conglomerates exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination.
"Let's do it!"
...
Lin Chen had just finished discussing things with the people from the four major financial groups when Zhang Yiming rushed in to report.
"Boss, we just received news that our Xiaomi flagship store, Heytea, and Fried Chicken Life stores in Xiao Rizi have all been vandalized. Fortunately, we only hired employees from Xiao Rizi, so the vandals didn't cause any physical harm to them."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Chen thought for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the conference room.
In the conference room, legal elites from the four major domestic internet companies gathered. However, if you listened carefully, you would find that these elites were discussing the exciting events of the previous night, without any seriousness as legal professionals.
Only Chen Yifan lay silently on the table, looking utterly hopeless.
Lin Chen knocked on the door and came in.
"Ye Qian, we have a job."
"Boss, you say it."
Everyone stopped talking and stared at Lin Chen.
“Our Xiaomi flagship store, Heytea, and Fried Chicken Life stores have all been vandalized. I need you to file a lawsuit against Xiaorizi and demand compensation.”
Is it just compensation?
"Yes, we don't need the other party to arrest them, we just want financial compensation."
"Okay, I'll get right on it!"
These kinds of cases are actually quite straightforward. You can directly call the police and ask them to arrest the people who vandalized the store, and then file a lawsuit to demand compensation.
However, the current situation is quite delicate, after all... Huasuan Wealth Management just "slipped" the other party's money.
Calling the police at this point, and only asking for financial compensation, is practically just an act of malice.
