Chapter 96
Jiang Nuo: “!???”
Mr. Jiang's first reaction was that Jinlin should apologize to them, but he quickly rejected this idea. Shengchen's stock price had fallen so much that it would be meaningless to do anything at this time.
Jiang Nuo: "Delete it from the entire internet?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "Even the keywords were blocked."
“…”
This was completely different from paying to remove a trending search. For someone with such financial resources and skill, and reason to worry about such a "small matter," Jiang Nuo quickly came up with the answer: "Nanyang Gu family?"
This thought coincided with Gu Jiangkuo's, and Gu Jiangkuo was even more certain. He whispered, "There's something I forgot to confess to you. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but after the exam, I had so much to do that I forgot about it."
It’s not accurate to say that he forgot, but rather that there was no follow-up and he didn’t know how to start.
Now the opportunity has come. Gu Jiangkuo explains the whole cause and effect in detail, including Wang Xuanhui's warning and Abu's blood theft. Jiang Nuo becomes more and more certain that Gu Jiangkuo will become Mr. Gu, a real-life version of getting rich overnight and turning a sparrow into a phoenix.
Jiang Nuo was naturally happy for him, but her happiness didn't last long. She became depressed again: "Then you will be leaving soon. Since the Gu family has made a move, they will take you back to Nanyang soon."
Gu Jiangkuo blurted out anxiously: "I won't leave! I will stay with you and won't go anywhere."
Jiang Nuo was amused by his reaction: "Are you going to stay with me in Yanlin forever?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "Wherever you are, I will stay there forever."
Hearing such words, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved. Jiang Nuo knew the Gu family's size. As a descendant of the Nanyang Gu family, Gu Jiangkuo couldn't possibly stay in Yanlin for long, and he might not even stay in China for long. And what about himself? Would he go to Nanyang to follow Gu Jiangkuo? Of course not. Even if the Jiang family was not as good as the truly wealthy, it was the hard work of two generations of his family. Jiang Nuo absolutely could not abandon it.
The idea of giving up everything for the one he loves might be something that Jiang Nuo, who was 19 years old in his previous life, could do, but now Mr. Jiang, who has the soul of a 30-year-old, would never make such a stupid decision, not even think about it.
Who says love must last forever? Life is full of separations.
"Don't say such childish things." Jiang Nuo laughed, "If you are so sentimental, I will look down on you."
“…” Gu Jiangkuo stopped talking, but the word “wronged” was almost written on his forehead, and the faint resentful aura almost condensed into substance.
Like a large dog that has been wronged.
Jiang Nuo stood on tiptoe, kissed the large dog on the mouth, and rubbed his chin, which was covered with short, hard stubble. "There's no need to think so far ahead. It hasn't happened yet. Besides, transportation is so convenient nowadays. It's not a life-and-death separation."
Gu Jiangkuo thought to himself: "It's only a two-hour drive from school to home. After school starts, I can only see you once a week. If you go abroad, how will you find time to pay attention to me when you're busy? Will you see me once every six months or a year?"
Seeing that he was still depressed, Jiang Nuo couldn't help but laugh. He kissed him on the cheek again and said like a child, "Okay, okay, it's no big deal."
Gu Jiangkuo replied in his heart: Heartless.
.
However, the keyword was blocked across the entire network, and only Gu Jiangkuo disappeared. All videos and photos involving Gu Jiangkuo were deleted. President Jiang's solo appearances were not affected. However, most of the scenes where President Jiang appeared alone were various industry summits and financial interviews. The only thing that was relatively lifelike was the piano he played at the annual meeting.
At this point, Mr. Jiang has transformed from an "Internet celebrity" back into an "entrepreneur".
Even the personal account that I applied for previously has not posted any updates since Shengchen’s stock price plummeted, so it can be considered abandoned.
If we ignore the possible recognition of the Nanyang Gu family, these days have been unusually peaceful. The decline in Shengchen's stock price has become irreversible, and the market makers have sold off a large number of shares to cash out and run away. Some financial experts analyzed that the big star Jin Lin lost at least 2.5 billion this time, and almost lost everything. Of course, it is unknown how much of the debt is shared by Boyue Shares and him.
Entertainment news paparazzi revealed that Jin Lin’s studio took on several bad movies at once. The income may be considerable, but Jin Lin’s reputation may face a cliff-like decline in the future.
Some marketing accounts even made up the story of "Jiang Xilin", saying that a big star offended a business tycoon. In order to promote herself, she asked the tycoon and her boyfriend to come out publicly. As a result, the tycoon was furious for her boyfriend, and the weather turned cold and the forest was broken, causing the company invested by Jin Lin to almost go bankrupt.
There are actually fans who believed it and went to search for it, but unfortunately the entire network is now blocked and public opinion cannot be created. More people saw this news and laughed it off, scolding the marketing account for daring to take advantage of any popularity and make up any plot, which is simply nonsense.
In any case, in just over ten days, those major shareholders who had invested hot money in Shengchen either ran away or cashed out. Now Shengchen's stock price has dropped to a rock-bottom price, and the board of directors that needed a replacement has almost been replaced.
Occasionally, the few that still persisted were acquired by mysterious capital.
The "mysterious capital" behind this is naturally Baimi Technology under the name of Gu Jiangkuo.
Baimi Technology used the money it made from the stock market this time, or the money it extorted from Jinlin, Boyao Shares, Ding Pingzhou, Lao Meiqin and other people who tried to manipulate stock prices and suffered the consequences, to invest in several scientific research studios and some real estate. It then used these as collateral to raise funds from financial institutions, leveraging several times the leverage, which was just enough to acquire Shengchen.
Buy it when it’s at a bargain price in Shengchen.
Everyone wants to pick up bargains at low prices, but not everyone has the ability to recover the value of something after acquiring it.
Baimi Technology has this confidence because it has the Jiang family behind it. The lithium mine investment that the Jiang family is negotiating is the strongest endorsement of Shengchen, a new energy vehicle parts manufacturer mainly based on lithium batteries.
When the news comes out, it is only a matter of time before Shengchen's stock price recovers. After all, capital and hot money are not the hard power of stock prices, but the company's future is.
.
Nanyang, Gu’s house.
Old Mr. Gu Zhonghong looked at the DNA report with mixed feelings.
The butler Zhong Bo at the side advised: "Master, this is the third report, it must be correct, this is the eldest young master."
Gu Zhonghong glanced at Zhong Bo unhappily and said, "What young master? Even if we acknowledge him, there is only one young master in our Gu family, and that is Gu Xin."
Uncle Zhong said respectfully, "Yes."
"Go to China for me and tell Gu Jiangkuo to come back immediately."
"Me?" Uncle Zhong hesitated, "Recognizing relatives is a big deal after all. Is my status enough?" Even if you don't go in person, you should send someone from the Gu family.
"You're my housekeeper, that's enough." Gu Zhonghong scoffed. "A child stranded in China, raised in such a poor family, what could he have seen? Hearing that I'm from a famous family, I wonder how happy he would be. He can't wait to come back and recognize me. Why would he care about these empty formalities?"
Zhong Bo agreed: "You are right."
.
Gu Jiangkuo was busy checking the contract for Baimi's acquisition of Shengchen. He had just finished a video call with Mr. Zhao when his secretary, Xiao Wang, came in and said, "Assistant Gu, someone wants to see you."
Gu Jiangkuo asked casually, "Who is it?"
Mr. Jiang was in the conference room at the moment, and they were the only two in the CEO's office. Xiao Wang spoke more relaxedly: "Have you ever seen those British butlers in TV dramas? They wear suits, hold their heads high, and look people down through their noses."
Gu Jiangkuo: “?” What a mess?
Xiao Wang: "He said he is your butler."
Gu Jiangkuo almost blurted out the word "lunatic", but swallowed it back. He thought of a possibility and said, "Take me to see him."
In the reception room, there was indeed such an old man. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with his hair combed meticulously. He turned his nose up at Gu Jiangkuo and said straight to the point, "Hello, young master. Let me introduce myself. I am your grandfather's housekeeper."
Uncle Zhong observed Gu Jiangkuo's expression and did not see any surprise or astonishment on the other party's face, so he calmly gave him his seat.
Uncle Zhong: "You don't believe me? That's normal. After all, I came too abruptly and you weren't mentally prepared. I brought my ID with me, you can take a look."
Gu Jiangkuo listened quietly to Uncle Zhong's identification. When his mouth was dry and he took a sip of tea, he asked, "You said I'm Chairman Gu's grandson, so why didn't he come in person for such a big thing as recognizing my relationship?"
Uncle Zhong choked: "The master is not feeling well..."
"Then there is no one else in the Gu family?"
"this……"
"Excuse me for being blunt, but you give me the feeling that you're here to recruit workers, not to recognize relatives. And I already have a job at Jiang's."
After just over ten minutes of contact, Uncle Zhong subconsciously changed his address: "Young Master, these are all orders from the master, please don't embarrass me. The master really misses you and wants you to return to him as soon as possible."
"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you, a messenger," Gu Jiangkuo said, "but I'm not going back to Nanyang, at least not now. I still have things to do here. As you can see, I work for Jiang Corporation."
"What could be more important than recognizing one's ancestral roots?" Uncle Zhong asked anxiously. "Excuse me, but even if you're angry with the old master and feel he doesn't value you enough, don't lose sight of the big picture. You probably still don't understand what a wealthy family the Gu family is..."
Uncle Zhong couldn't help but scorn his words. "How important is your job here? Is the salary a few thousand yuan, or tens of thousands?"
Gu Jiangkuo did a rough calculation and said, "The final revenue from this work may be over 100 million."
