Chapter 52: The Boss is too wicked, but I like it
After much deliberation, Li Wen still could not figure out who was targeting the Li Group.
What was quite interesting was that the very first person Li Wen ruled out was none other than Huang Feiyang.
This was because he believed that Huang Feiyang could not possibly know about these dark secrets of the Li Group.
Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, Li Wen walked out of his office.
Ahead of him lay a mountain of matters waiting to be dealt with!
Officials from the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the tax bureau, and other departments were already on their way to the Li Group.
The group's directors and shareholders were in a state of absolute meltdown.
In stark contrast, Huang Feiyang was currently feeling much more relaxed and at ease.
Before dropping the bombshell of scandals, he had already instructed one of Jess's teams to short-sell the Li Group in advance.
He wondered how much money Future could make this trip!
Just the thought of it brought a sense of great anticipation to Huang Feiyang's heart.
Perhaps this time, Future would achieve fame in a single battle!
As for Future's parent company, Huang's International Investment, Huang Feiyang had no intention of involving it this time around.
He wanted to avoid stirring up any unnecessary trouble!
In the building where Future was located on Wall Street, New York, USA.
After checking the latest news coming out of Southeast Asia, a peculiar expression appeared on Jess's face.
Xinyang International Trade had sued the Li Group and Li Wen, and then dropped the lawsuit?
The Li Group's stock price had only just risen for a short while before the internet was flooded with overwhelmingly dark scandals?
The crucial point was that the BOSS had even instructed him to short-sell the Li Group in advance!
If anyone claimed there was nothing fishy going on here, who would believe it?
With just a little thought, it was not difficult for Jess to piece together the whole story.
Otherwise, he would hardly be worthy of his former reputation as a short-selling titan!
The BOSS accepted money from Li Wen to drop the lawsuit?
And in the blink of an eye, turned around to short-sell the Li Group?
Those scandals on the internet were probably also the BOSS's handiwork?
"The BOSS is so wicked, but I love it!"
With a wide grin, Jess clicked his tongue in wonder.
As for whether anyone might trace this back to Future?
Jess was not worried in the slightest!
He was already thoroughly familiar with the operations of the financial markets.
What was there to fear?
At the same time, Jess grew increasingly fond of Huang Feiyang's personality.
A petty person who must return every grievance!
Splendid!
The BOSS definitely had the potential to become a formidable overlord!
Working under someone like this, as long as one did not betray him, there would be no shortage of fabulous food and drink.
...
Since there were no classes in the afternoon, Chen Xiruo and Yang Yiyi had already returned by noon.
During lunch, upon hearing Huang Feiyang's plan, both beauties were left completely dumbfounded.
Pocketing 100 million US dollars, exposing the opponent's dark secrets in the blink of an eye, and short-selling their stock in advance?
Ruthless!
Simply too ruthless!
However, both of them applauded the move with great satisfaction.
After all, who told Li Wen to provoke them first?
Hmph!
"I reckon one of my financial companies will make a fortune this time!"
At the end of the sentence, a relentless smile spread across Huang Feiyang's face.
Getting revenge and making a massive profit at the same time!
This feeling was truly phenomenal!
"By the way, do you two have any plans for that 100 million US dollars?"
Shifting the topic abruptly, Huang Feiyang asked curiously.
"Inject it into Xinyang International Trade and expand the scale!"
Without any prior agreement, the two beauties spoke in unison.
Startled for a moment, Huang Feiyang nodded.
It seemed like a pretty good idea.
China was on the verge of joining the WTO, and when that happened, the international trade sector would undoubtedly set sail with full wind.
Wasn't that the exact reason he had suggested they open a trading company in the first place?
Almost at the same time, in a conference room at FY Technology in Guangzhou.
After finishing lunch, George met with a group of representatives from various mobile phone manufacturers.
There was no helping it!
He had to meet them!
He had only delayed by a single day, but these guys were simply relentless.
Their phone calls never stopped!
Their emails kept flooding in endlessly!
They even staked out his residential complex and waited outside the company gates to ambush him!
To get their hands on the chips, these people were willing to go to any lengths.
George was genuinely worried that if he continued to avoid them, they might resort to some drastic actions.
That wouldn't be good!
His purpose was merely to whet their appetite!
And then, wait for the highest bidder!
In reality, over this period, FY Technology's mobile phone shipments had already dropped quite a bit.
The markets that could be developed had mostly been developed. They were approaching saturation!
The remaining market belonged to the domain of the major mobile phone manufacturers.
There was no helping it!
Mainly because their distribution channels and brand effects were simply too powerful!
This was also the exact reason why Huang Feiyang and George decided to dump the chips in their hands.
Cashing out at a high position—wasn't that much better than dragging things out?
If they delayed any longer, the major manufacturers would develop similar chips and phones of their own.
By then, FY Technology's surplus chips would just rot in their hands.
That was certainly not what the two of them wanted to see!
"Ladies and gentlemen, we do indeed have quite a few chips in our hands!"
Clearing his throat, George said with a beaming smile.
Hearing George's words, everyone locked their eyes firmly onto him without blinking.
Yet, by tacit agreement, none of them spoke.
They believed that George would soon reveal his stance.
However, they had underestimated George's patience after all.
Or should one call it cunning?
"The chips in our hands are limited!"
"Tell me, who should we sell these chips to?"
Seeing that no one spoke, George continued leisurely.
Hearing this, everyone's eyelids twitched violently.
Inside their minds, curses were already being hurled.
When all was said and done, this bastard wanted to slaughter them like fattened sheep!
Abominable!
Shameless!
Yet, they had to admit.
They were actually falling for this exact trick!
They all wanted to get their hands on the chips held by FY Technology!
The more, the better!
FY Technology had already eaten its fill of meat; drinking a little bit of soup was still better than nothing!
This was the shared sentiment of the companies behind each of them.
Because of this, it was destined that they could never form a unified front.
As the saying goes, competitors are bitter enemies.
The brief consensus they had reached before coming here—to drive down the price of the chips—had already been completely cast to the wind.
"I wonder how Mr. George plans to sell the chips in your hands? How much per set? What is the minimum order quantity?"
The moment George finished speaking, someone asked impatiently.
The others also pricked up their ears.
They were extremely concerned about these questions as well.
This directly concerned their vital interests!
Prior to this, they had already completed mutual patent licensing with FY Technology.
However, they had always suffered from a lack of chips, making it impossible to manufacture phones.
Now that the opportunity had arrived, how could they possibly miss it?
"How about this? To the highest bidder?"
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, George made the smiling suggestion.
Hearing his words, everyone's faces turned dark with frustration.
Just as expected!
What a bastard!
