Huang Long agreed to form an alliance with Li Donglai.
One reason, of course, is that they don't want to give up the coal business.
On the other hand, the Martial Alliance has grown and expanded in recent years, bribing many bureaucrats. What he values is the Martial Alliance's intricate and vast network of relationships!
Now that I've fallen out with the Xu family, I must find a powerful backer!
This is both self-defense and counterattack!
That very night, Li Donglai rushed over and secretly met with Huang Long, and the two of them devised a plan to suppress the Xu family.
And that very night, they began implementing their plan and launched an operation against the Xu family!
For Xu Chengyi, who was vacationing in Yandu, this was destined to be a sleepless night.
I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I've been having some insomnia. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I was woken up by a piercing ringtone.
It was Wang Bin, the manager of Xu's company, who called.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me tonight?" Xu Chengyi said, sounding annoyed.
Wang Bin said urgently, "My lord, something terrible has happened!"
Xu Chengyi was taken aback. Wang Bin was someone he had personally mentored, and he was always known for his composure. He wondered what had startled him so much. He quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Bin hurriedly said, "Just an hour ago, the Huang family and the Li family announced a joint sanction against our Xu family, blocking some of our important channels! Some suppliers canceled their cooperation with us overnight! Roughly estimated, our Xu family has lost at least several hundred million!"
"Just half an hour ago, several shareholders of our Xu family mysteriously disappeared, and some negative news about our Xu family spread. Other shareholders have been calling one after another, and some have even been privately selling their shares at low prices. It is estimated that when the market opens tomorrow, our Xu family's stock will hit the daily limit down!"
"Furthermore, the presidents of the two major banks received the news and came to our door overnight, demanding that we repay our debts and terminating our lending. Our Xu family's cash flow is about to be in danger of breaking down!"
Upon hearing these reports, Xu Chengyi broke out in a cold sweat, as if he were taking a bath.
What the hell is going on?
Have the Huang and Li families gone mad? They've actually joined forces to target the Xu family?
He had never even considered such a thing before. After all, he was a marquis and had the Wu family as his backer. Who the hell would dare to touch him, Xu Chengyi?
Even the Martial Alliance has to give them some face, so they should behave themselves!
This is...
Xu Chengyi was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
But he doesn't have time to think about that now!
The simultaneous attacks by the Huang and Li families on commercial channels, the stock market, and banks were clearly a premeditated joint sanction that caught him off guard.
If this trend continues, it will inevitably have a chain reaction. Once the Xu family's cash flow breaks down, bankruptcy liquidation will be the only option!
He took a deep breath and quickly said into the phone, "Stay calm, don't panic! The efforts of generations of the Xu family won't be so easily crushed. The most important thing now is to protect our cash flow! As long as I can find a source of funding in Yandu within this week and send it back to Guanzhong, the Xu family won't fall!!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chengyi tried to calm himself down.
He no longer had time to consider the motives of the Huang and Li families.
The most urgent task now is to find the source of funds, and the first place that comes to mind is naturally the Wu family.
As the son-in-law of the Wu family, he believed that the Wu family would not stand idly by and watch him die if he asked for help.
On the other hand, he didn't really want to rely on the Wu family.
Firstly, Xu Junwei's maternal uncles have always been arrogant and looked down on him, a local marquis, and secretly called him a country bumpkin. It would be too embarrassing for him to ask these maternal uncles for money.
Secondly, he was bound to be subservient to those who accepted his help; once he took their money, he would inevitably become their puppet. For years, his father-in-law, Wu Tiande, had been trying to control him, wanting to use him to do things within the military and eliminate his rivals. He only wanted to be a local tyrant, not someone else's pawn.
After much deliberation, he decided to postpone his search for the Wu family. Over the years, he had built up a network of connections in Yandu, and he decided to try contacting those people first.
Just then, the suite door opened, and Xu Junwei, with his arm in a cast, walked in.
"Dad, you're still awake!"
Xu Chengyi said with a stern face, "Your hand is injured like this, and you still go out and fool around. How could I have given birth to such a useless thing as you!"
I was already upset, and seeing my son acting so nonchalantly only made me angrier!
Xu Junwei scratched his head and said dejectedly, "Dad, I'm just going to see a few friends. Didn't you tell me to make more connections in Yandu? I'm just following your orders!"
Xu Chengyi snorted, "Fine! Then tell me, you've been in Yandu for a week, going out every day, what kind of impressive people have you made friends with?"
Xu Junwei's eyes lit up. "Hey, Dad, I actually made friends with a big shot today! You know the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"The Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Chengyi's expression faltered slightly; he had naturally heard of this chamber of commerce.
This is one of the three major chambers of commerce in Yandu! Its assets exceed 100 billion!
He quickly asked, "What? You've made friends with people from the Red Phoenix Merchant Guild?"
Xu Junwei quickly replied, "That's right. To be honest, my son has befriended Li Zhixi, the son of Li Fengxiang, the president of the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce! He told me that the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce is planning to develop the market in Guanzhong and is interested in cooperating with our Xu family. If conditions permit, they can include our Xu family in the Chamber of Commerce!"
Is this really true?
Xu Chengyi was so excited he almost jumped up. He never expected that someone would bring him such a boost just when he was dozing off!
If the Xu family could join the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, they would naturally receive financial support from the Chamber!
