Chapter 123 is even more outrageous than in the game!
"Tsk tsk tsk, Jiangjin Group truly lives up to its name! This power is simply incredible!"
During a meeting of Fang Huan Investment's directors, a senior executive let out a heartfelt sigh.
"Yes, look, just a few days ago there were countless smear articles in the media accusing our Fang Huan Investment of malicious acquisition and taking advantage of our misfortune. Overnight, they were all deleted, not even a punctuation mark was left!"
For a moment, the meeting room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Previously, Fang Huan Investment was so badly smothered by various negative news reports that they were portrayed as some heinous financial tycoon who would devour people without spitting out their bones.
But ever since Fang Huan Investment and Jiangjin Group "turned hostility into friendship" and reached a "strategic cooperation", the entire public opinion has taken a complete 180-degree turn!
Those smear articles disappeared without a trace, as if wiped away by an invisible hand.
"That's not all! Look at this!" A senior executive pointed to a news headline, beaming with delight.
"The current reports are all praising Fang Huan Investment and Jiangjin Hotel as a 'powerful alliance to create brilliance and build a new city landmark'! This tone has changed far too quickly!"
Is this the power of the Jiangjin Group?
It's terrifying!
That said, Jiangjin Group has been navigating the business world for many years and has a deep-rooted foundation. Its network of connections extends through the political and economic core of the capital, spans the Yangtze River Delta industrial chain hub and the Pearl River Delta open frontier, weaving a seamless giant network.
As for the media?
Haha, since ancient times, the pen has never been able to resist the money; whoever gives the most "dog food" (a metaphor for excessive financial support) will wag its tail.
"All the 'favors' and pressure from certain departments have vanished!"
"That's right! Just a couple of days ago they were clamoring to conduct some kind of'special investigation' on us, causing widespread panic, but now? They've all vanished without a trace!"
"Is there even a question? Compared to the declining Changqing Group, which could go under at any moment, the booming Jiangjin Group obviously carries more weight!"
At this point, no matter how much Changqing Group struggles, it's too late to turn things around.
The avenue of bank loans had long been blocked. The equity funds that Changqing Group had previously contacted ran faster than rabbits as soon as they heard the news of the "powerful alliance" between Jiangjin Group and Fang Huan Investment, fearing that they would be trapped on Changqing's rickety ship if they were a step too late.
Everything is under control.
No, it should be said that everything is under Su Hao's control.
"I mean, how exactly does President Su's brain work?"
The idea of partnering with Jiangjin Hotel was already quite brilliant.
What's even more outrageous is that, when faced with Qin Lan, who is known for his shrewdness and competence, he actually dared to make an outrageous demand, directly quoting a "sky-high price" of 20 billion!
My God, is his heart made of titanium alloy? His aura is so domineering!
A senior executive was speechless.
"Let me tell you, when President Su quoted that price, I almost thought we were going to get beaten up by Jiang Jin and his gang!"
The other person still feels lingering fear when recalling the incident.
"Who would have thought that Qin Lan would actually accept that unreasonable price, which was almost extortionate, just two days later! It's more unbelievable than a novel!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Fengwen recalled the note Su Hao handed him, especially when he saw the line "two hundred billion," he felt a wave of dizziness and almost suffered a heart attack on the spot.
That's 20 billion! Not 200 yuan!
However, Huang Fengwen has one major strength, or rather, the core principle upon which his success is built—
Once someone decides to trust another, they will close their eyes and jump into the abyss even if they know it's a bottomless pit ahead.
And Su Hao, once again, repaid his foolish trust with an incredible performance.
They managed to "sell" the operating rights of a hotel for a staggering 20 billion yuan!
This means that Fang Huan Investment acquired the ' Evergreen Heaven Seal,' a symbol of wealth and glory, without spending almost a penny!
"Ah, of course," a senior executive added, " We still have to pay back the loan that Evergreen Heaven Seal owed to the bank, which was about seven billion."
"In other words, of the 20 billion Qin Lan gave, 10 billion was transferred to Changqing Group as 'acquisition payment'."
Of the remaining 10 billion, we'll use 7 billion to pay off the bank loans.
After deducting the two billion spent on the initial acquisition of 5% of the shares, this series of ingenious operations...
Not only did we get the incredibly valuable ' Evergreen Heaven Seal ' development for free, but we also have a billion dollars more in cash?!
In the conference room, Huang Fengwen finished calculating the costs on his fingers and was completely dumbfounded.
Holy crap! What kind of incredible move is that?!
This is a textbook example of getting something for nothing—no, it's like making a fortune out of thin air!
This is beyond the explanation of magic!
This is fucking a miracle!
Ever since he brought Su Hao, this "prodigy," to Fang Huan Investment, his life has been like a dream come true!
It's a non-stop, spectacular race, witnessing miracles every day!
Huang Fengwen felt that his values were constantly being shattered, rebuilt, shattered again, and rebuilt again...
It was like riding a roller coaster in space; the thrill was almost too much for his old heart!
" Chairman Huang, everyone in the financial world is talking about it right now," a senior executive said, leaning closer with a proud and excited expression.
"Speaking of Fang Huan Investment, this move of ours has completely outmaneuvered both Changqing Group and Jiangjin Group, making a killing from both sides and raking in huge profits! We are the biggest winners!"
"Oh? Why haven't I seen this kind of report in the media?"
"That definitely can't be reported!"
It's fine to brag about this in private, but to actually write it out in writing would be a blatant slap in the face to Jiangjin Group.
Which media outlet with no sense would dare to do such a thing? They'd have to be crazy to do it.
But who in this line of work isn't shrewd and calculating?
It's clear to everyone that the biggest winner in this three-way game is Fang Huan Investment!
Making a fortune quietly is the key!
"Well, it can't be said that Jiangjin Group didn't benefit at all," Huang Fengwen said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
"At least, they completely crushed their old rival, Changqing Hotel."
From now on, the high-end hotel market will be dominated by Jiangjin Hotel.
This battle... it wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.
Or rather, it couldn't even be considered a "battle" at all.
From beginning to end, it was almost entirely Su Hao who unilaterally crushed Changqing Group. Changqing Group didn't even have a chance to fight back, so how could it be considered a "battle"?
In summary: Huang Fengwen didn't do anything, yet he somehow became the biggest winner.
Huang Fengwen suddenly remembered that Su Hao, back in the game, also led a group of "senior citizens" and somehow managed to clear all sorts of difficult dungeons.
Now it seems that his actions in real life are even more outrageous and unreasonable than in the game!
That kid is a genius!
No, it's a monster!
He's cheating!
"However, Chairman Huang, there's a problem now," the Chief Financial Officer said with a troubled expression.
"President Su has made a huge contribution this time, so how should the bonus be calculated?"
This performance is simply incredible!
I'm afraid if I give too little, our company will seem stingy; if I give too much... I'm afraid the company will go bankrupt!
