…
Two more days have passed!
Based on the actual situation and the opinion of Amo, a top student from Tsinghua University—
Then, he quietly entered the Nine Realms Space, obtained some information, and then brought up everything that needed attention regarding the company's impending changes.
The rest, Achen left to Amo to arrange.
As for the company owned by Granny Ge, Amo has already taken action.
The situation with the Guan family was far more serious than Achen had imagined.
Because the Guan family was emptied out by Granny Ge, coupled with Guan Ling's previous attempt to assassinate Achen and the loss of overseas cooperation, bankruptcy was imminent.
That day, the investment director of Mochen Capital had just acquired the plot of land on the Pudong riverfront from Guan Yue.
Amo, who was in a meeting, received a phone call and hurriedly returned to the office, saying to Achen:
"I just received news that Guan Ling has gone mad and is going to jump off a building."
"What? I haven't even gotten there yet, why would he jump off a building? Where is he?"
"It's in a nearby building, about 500 meters from here! Go downstairs and turn right, there are a lot of people over there now, you can see them when you go over."
"Amo, you don't need to go, but I have to go and see for myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Chen took off running, with Ah Yong and Ah Zhen of the Eight Jackals close behind, and Ah Yin accompanying him.
Fifteen minutes later--
Ah Chen, who was going downstairs, finally saw the location Ah Mo had mentioned.
Sure enough, a crowd had gathered in the square, pointing and discussing the twenty-story building.
Police cordons were set up around the area, preventing people from crossing.
"The Guan family was a prominent family in Shanghai decades ago. I never thought they would end up like this."
"If that old man surnamed Guan knew that his descendants had squandered the family fortune, he would probably crawl out of his grave."
"Not only is all that wealth gone, but we're also in debt."
"I heard that all of Guan's overseas projects have fallen through, resulting in huge losses. His family's company has also become an empty shell. The key point is that someone revealed that he was actually doing business with assassins, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"I've heard about it too. Apparently, it was done by their housekeeper from decades ago. That old woman died yesterday, and after investigation, most of her properties turned out to be shady."
"Yes, yes, we've heard those rumors from yesterday too. There have been big changes in the gray area of Shanghai, with many entertainment venues closing down for rectification."
"What a tragedy!"
As soon as Achen approached, he heard all sorts of discussions in the crowd.
As he looked up, he saw someone standing on the far side of the top floor of the building in front of him. Although he couldn't see clearly, he figured it must be Guan Ling.
Judging from the situation on the top floor, it seemed someone was trying to persuade Guan Ling, but—
"Ah--"
"He jumped! He jumped!"
"That was terrifying!"
A sudden shout rang out.
Ah Chen stared at the dark shadow that seemed to have fallen like a weight, and before he could even turn around, a loud bang resounded—
"ah!!"
Another scream rang out from the crowd.
Amid the commotion, Ah Chen squeezed forward and barely managed to make out that it was indeed Guan Ling, a bloody meat pie.
It was a terrible sight.
But for Guan Ling, it was a pleasant departure.
But Ah Chen was unwilling to accept it; he hadn't even had a chance to experience it firsthand before it was all gone.
Why--
You got off easy, Guan Ling.
You've said goodbye to this world once and for all; I hope you go to that other world.
Damn it, I'm still suffering.
Ah Chen glanced around and saw the public security guards surging towards them. After a flurry of activity, he dispersed with the crowd and then left.
While the crowd watched the spectacle, he had no interest whatsoever.
When he returned to the ground floor of Mochen Capital, he didn't rush upstairs, but sat down on the stone steps in front.
The weather was scorching hot.
The sunlight was blinding.
But those dark clouds slowly drifting this way on the horizon... it seems like it'll rain tonight.
Guan Ling died, and A Chen felt no pity whatsoever, because--
Such a person deserves to die.
Ah Chen was just thinking that the land that the investment department bought from the Guan family was truly a miracle!
For 100 million yuan, they not only acquired the entire plot of land to build the tallest building in the Great Xia Dynasty ten years later, but the adjacent plots were also owned by Mochen Capital.
This area, when connected, forms... some of the world's most prosperous CBDs in the future.
In this life, if there are no major deviations from the main trajectory, then the most important part of Mu Achen's plan in Shanghai has been completed without him even realizing it.
His trip to Shanghai this time was surprisingly fruitful.
But all of this is thanks to Amo, because she and Lin Bei and the others managed to acquire those other plots of land.
But--
Whenever Ah Chen thought about building a skyscraper, the tallest building in the Great Xia, his blood boiled, but at the same time he instantly felt that even though he had billions of assets in Mo Chen Capital, he was still too poor.
The more you think about it, the poorer you become.
Because to build that so-called tallest building, according to the information I read in my previous life, it would cost more than 15 billion.
Even if I were to plan ahead for several years, I would still need at least 10 billion, not to mention other plans.
Why--
Ah Chen sighed deeply, got up, and went back to the company.
He couldn't muster any interest whatsoever along the way.
Following behind, A-Yong, A-Zhen, and A-Yin exchanged glances, all assuming that their future Miao king was upset because he hadn't been able to personally kick that Guan fellow twice. Little did they know that A-Chen's thoughts were...
