Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhao Chen simply smiled without making a sound, neither denying nor admitting it.
However, in Bai Ru's eyes, that was tacit agreement.
Bai Ru couldn't help but give him a few more meaningful glances:
"I knew it! How could the man Xiaoyueyue like be an ordinary person?"
"Alright, you're a very good young man. In that case, it's a deal!"
"I will have someone come over in a few days to talk to you and discuss the specifics."
Zhao Chen doesn't mind cooperating with others; there's no end to making money, and trying to do everything yourself will only lead to your downfall.
He understands this principle well: the most reliable way to secure relationships is to recruit more people onto his side and bind everyone to the same interest group.
Right now, there's only the Williams family on his ship, and they're from overseas; they might turn against him at any time.
It might not be a bad thing if another powerful force joined in.
But he also needs to take precautions, after all, these capitalists are ruthless and predatory, and he knows that better than anyone.
However, what he understands even more clearly now is that compared to his former self, it is far too easy for him to control the Zhao family now.
The Zhao family, once a behemoth to him, is now nothing more than ants under his feet.
As for Zhao Guohua and his group of daughters, Zhao Chen wouldn't let them die easily. He wanted to play with them properly, let them spend the rest of their lives in despair and suffer slowly, so that he could be worthy of all the humiliations he had endured!
Seeing that the deal was done, Bai Ru didn't linger any longer. She needed to hurry back to her family to discuss how to cooperate with Zhao Chen next.
Zhao Chen has many promising projects, and the Bai family wants to enter the internet industry and wants to get a share of the pie.
Of course, they didn't take the shares for nothing; they will naturally assume the responsibilities that come with it.
After all, many people know very well that once these companies develop to a certain extent, there will inevitably be people who want to reap the benefits.
The Bai family's philosophy is win-win development.
Compared to those powerful forces that seize by force, the Bai family is relatively reasonable, and the conditions they offer are also much more generous.
This was information Zhao Chen had already learned in his previous life, which is why he was willing to cooperate with the Bai family.
Now, with this series of achievements, Zhao Chen's career is booming. He then set his sights on the Zhao family's various investments in the Southeast Asian market, which he had previously severely damaged.
Now, the Zhao family's stock market value has plummeted to rock bottom.
Zhao Chen immediately bought up all the Zhao Group's shares on the secondary market.
The next step was to put pressure on other shareholders.
Meanwhile, the Zhao family was living a life of extreme anxiety and misery.
There is widespread anxiety within the group, and there has even been a mass exodus of middle and senior management.
After all, the development over the years doesn't mean there haven't been any shady dealings involved.
Previously, the group was developing well, and some of its shortcomings and loopholes could naturally be covered up. But now it's different. The Zhao family's own management team has no way to resolve external conflicts, so they can only shift the focus of the conflicts to the internal.
They started by targeting their own people, and after several senior executives were purged, the morale of others began to waver.
Those with talent, ability, resources, and connections all left immediately.
They won't serve a group like that!
The rest are a bunch of guys who rely on the Zhao family's businesses for survival. They haven't found another job yet, so they have to stay at the Zhao Group.
In terms of ability, they are really not as good as those elites who left.
The group also experienced various management problems and serious internal resource waste.
The Zhao family business, which was already in a mess, has become even worse.
Zhao Siyu, the young leader who had previously taken over the group, has been having a lot of headaches lately.
She was already young, and in the past two years, because the Zhao Group has developed rapidly and performed very well, everyone has been praising her to the skies.
Everyone says she is an elite, strong woman of the younger generation who can lead the Zhao Group to continue its meteoric rise.
If the original plot had unfolded as it did, that's exactly what would have happened.
Zhao Siyu later received strong support from Zhao Ziyun, and with the added luck of being a chosen one, she naturally enjoyed great fortune and went on to complete several major projects.
Interestingly, in the original storyline, they took advantage of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia to buy up several investment projects at rock-bottom prices.
After the storm passed, Southeast Asia launched various support policies to revitalize its economy, and with continued investment, these investment projects were quickly put back into operation.
These few investment projects alone made them a fortune.
Next, they were very fortunate to target several important high-tech industries in China, and they also achieved very good results in the Internet field.
Over the years, Zhao's Group has transformed from an ordinary real estate company into a large conglomerate with achievements in multiple fields.
But now, none of that is possible anymore.
Because of Zhao Chen's deliberate manipulation, the Zhao Group fell into the trap of the financial crisis and became mired in a quagmire from which it could not extricate itself.
Without other funding to rescue them, and without anyone lending a hand, they will ultimately face certain death.
All of this was caused by the orders given by Zhao Siyu.
Zhao Siyu was initially very optimistic about investments in Southeast Asia, but shortly after she invested, the financial crisis hit.
Now Zhao Siyu became the target of public criticism, and everyone was condemning her.
Even though she now holds the identity of Zhao Guohua's daughter, her situation is quite unfavorable.
In the end, it was Zhao Guohua, the old chairman, who stepped in to take over the mess his daughter had made.
Zhao Siyu is now taking all the blame, but in reality, it was Zhao Guohua himself who made the final decision on the Southeast Asian investment; Zhao Siyu was just his spokesperson.
Of course, the company shareholders all pretended not to see it; they just wanted Zhao Guohua to step in and take over the matter as soon as possible.
Now that Zhao Guohua has arrived, all the shareholders are coming over to ask what to do next.
"Guohua, you promised us a dividend every year, that we would make money."
"But now that you've lost so much, what do you say?"
"Can you take responsibility for this? Is the Zhao Group going to go bankrupt? If so, we'll have to withdraw our investment, which was agreed upon beforehand!"
Seeing the faces of these people, Zhao Guohua clenched his fists tightly and said coldly:
"Why didn't you all leave when you were making money? Now that the company has run into some problems, you're all like headless flies, immediately trying to run away. There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
