Li Bo Kai: Shivering. I thought Brother Feng was going to start playing with chips?
Lin Xiaoyun: Equally scared.
Luofeng: What’s there to be afraid of? The chip project is inevitable for the future, just not right now. I’ll handle this project separately for now, play around with it on my own first.
Luofeng: You guys look into that matter. The industrial chain issue I ntioned before, have you sorted it out?
Chen Dali: The day after tomorrow, at the latest.
Luofeng: Good. I’ll call Chen Hong first. Let know when you have information about the photolithography machine.
Chen Dali: Looking for Chen Hong? Chen Ergou’s cousin?
Luofeng: I’ve already dealt with Tianhong Company. That’s just the first step. Next, I plan to target Chen Hong’s family’s Shengyuan Group.
Chen Dali: ...
Chen Dali: Seriously? Their family’s group isn’t like Tianhong. Around here, Chen Hong’s family is the most powerful of the three Chen families, much stronger than Chen Ergou’s family was back then.
Luofeng: Of course, it’s true. Even if I can’t completely destroy them, I intend to make Shengyuan Group suffer heavy losses and be greatly weakened. After all, Chen Hong has been scheming behind the scenes, which I find very irritating. Chen Rui was just a scapegoat they pushed out this ti.
Chen Dali: Understood. I’ll spread the word and try to get so people to pull their investnts proactively.
Luofeng: There’s no rush this ti. Shengyuan Group is tough to deal with, different from Tianhong.
Chen Dali: True. So far, Shengyuan Group’s projects don’t seem to have any compliance issues.
Luofeng: I’ll contact Chen Hong first. You guys handle the photolithography machine matter.
Luofeng ended the chat with everyone.
Duanmu Yunji sighed and said, "That Chen Lin, he’s really sothing."
Qin Rubing chid in, "He really is formidable. How many years did he spend setting up his plan?"
"Yeah, people like that are indeed ruthless," Luofeng affird with a nod.
He originally thought he was the big winner, but now it seed Chen Lin was?
Qin Rubing got up from Luofeng’s lap; she had to continue dancing.
Duanmu Yunji continued her role as the Big Cat in his embrace, while Luofeng quickly found Chen Hong’s number in his contacts and dialed it.
"Congratulations, Brother Feng. Excellent tactics. You actually managed to unearth Tianhong’s Baiyun Favor Project?
"Originally, Chen Lin’s plan was just to transfer a large amount of his brother’s, wife’s, and son’s assets. Chen Rui wouldn’t be a young master anymore, but he’d still have enough money to live on. But because of what you did, he’s now going to be targeted by a whole group of people. That’s worse than killing him.
"I’m very curious, who exactly at Tianhong did you bribe to get so much information?"
Once the call connected, Chen Hong began to speak, his voice whining.
Throughout the conversation, his tone was full of Yin and yang.
"Heh, guess who I bribed?"
"I can’t guess," Chen Hong said. "None of the nas on my list fit the criteria, and they couldn’t possibly betray Tianhong."
"But co to think of it, in the end, it looks like you and Chen Lin are the biggest beneficiaries, right? Your aim was to get revenge on Chen Rui, and Chen Lin’s aim was to get revenge on his wife, brother, and son? So, did you two team up?"
Luofeng was speechless. Conjecture truly was the deadliest weapon.
Did Luofeng even need to team up with Chen Lin? Luofeng’s own Zhongyi Tang had discovered many of these things.
Chen Hong asked, "Brother Feng, is it our turn next?"
In this situation, Chen Hong’s family had wanted to capitalize on the disaster, but they were unsuccessful. This was because Luofeng had advised the twenty-odd families in Capital City not to demand cash flow, but to accept quality stocks and futures as collateral instead. With those assets pledged as collateral, the losses for those twenty-odd families in Capital City were reduced. So, their idea of waiting for Tianhong to collapse and then profiting by snapping up those quality stocks ca to nothing. Chen Hong also hadn’t expected the twenty-odd families in Capital City to want those stocks. But ultimately, with Luofeng’s reminder, they understood it was better to minimize their losses than to end up with nothing at all.
"Heh, yes. Next up is definitely your Shengyuan Group," Luofeng said cheerfully.
Luofeng ended the call with Chen Hong and imdiately started sending ssages in the group chat.
"Brothers, I’m booking a venue tonight. Contact those who wanted to thank before—I’m treating them to a al."
Chen Dali: Does Brother Feng have a big move planned?
Luofeng: Getting ready to arm-wrestle with Chen Hong.
Chen Dali: Chen Hong’s family has so clout in Capital City circles. Those twenty-odd families might not help you.
Lin Xiaoyun: Chen Hong’s family has connections in the Ministry of Revenue; their network is quite strong.
It was previously ntioned that Chen Rui’s Chen family from Jinling was sowhat more formidable. To be blunt, that was rely their economic strength, which appeared vast. However, true strength, in many cases, isn’t about superficial appearances but about deeper foundations.
Li Bo Kai: More than half of those twenty-odd families in Capital City have their funds under Shengyuan Group’s managent.
Luofeng: I’ve looked into the group, and its annual returns are only six percent. Why do so many people like it?
Li Bo Kai: In this age, capital safety is number one.
Lin Xiaoyun: Yes, as long as they don’t lose money and beat inflation, that’s a top priority for many billionaires.
Luofeng: Just beating inflation? Then let’s help them make a real profit! I’m definitely going after Chen Hong.
Lin Xiaoyun: How about we arrange for Hot Pot downstairs at Cloud View Apartnts?
Li Bo Kai: That works.
Chen Dali: Yeah.
Luofeng: No problem. Also, invite our prostitute mbers.
Chen Dali: Okay.
Lin Xiaoyun: I’ll start notifying them imdiately.
Li Bo Kai: I’m actually quite annoyed with Chen Hong as well.
Luofeng: Dinner starts at seven.
On Chen Hong’s side, his obsequious flatterer Chen Ergou was still by his side. Chen Hong was checking his WeChat group with his friends.
"Chen Hong, you’re in trouble."
"Never expected Tianhong to fall so quickly."
"It was to be expected," Chen Hong ssaged back. "I’m just very disappointed there were no gains from it. Besides, what trouble could I possibly be in?"
"I just received news. Luofeng has invited the twenty families, and also their mbers involved in the Honda plan. I recall that many of those twenty-odd families have funds managed by your family. If Luofeng sways them, isn’t your family likely to take a hit?"
"To be honest, the alliance of interests he’s forming now is incredibly large. If that entire bloc supports him, your Shengyuan Group will find it very difficult to withstand the pressure."
"Why would those people help him?" Chen Hong scoffed. "Just because he helped those twenty-odd families in Capital City lose a bit less money with Tianhong? That’s rely a favor. It’s already been repaid, so it won’t serve as leverage.
"Heh. Besides, our Shengyuan Group isn’t like Tianhong. We don’t engage in any non-compliant activities. Our profit channels are all very stable and legitimate."
