Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 439: The Hunt

"This isn’t about being proud; it’s a stage that every big company and top businessman has to face.

If you can withstand it and develop better, you can keep going up. Otherwise, you’ll just fall and be eaten up by others."

Wu Changxun said calmly, "Look at those who were once dominant in the business world, how many stood until the end?

Most of them either emigrated to enjoy life, lived low-key and reclusive, or their companies never progressed and just coasted along."

"Enough." Chen Yiyang waved his hand, "I didn’t come here to listen to your motivational talk."

"So, do you want Tengxu to step in and help you?"

"It’s not about helping me, it’s about helping Tengxu itself." Chen Yiyang tapped the table. "I remember DEEPSEEK and Tengxu had a cooperation; it even helped Tengxu create its own AI model software, right?"

"Yes." Wu Changxun nodded.

"Now, because of DEEPSEEK, I’m under attack; shouldn’t Tengxu step in?"

"You’re referring to the incident where Qian Du is orchestrating Kiwifruit to attack you, right?" Wu Changxun was indeed aware of the attacks Chen Yiyang was facing recently.

"When the AI model era began, Qian Du also developed its own AI model, but it wasn’t technically sound. So, it was always lukewarm."

Wu Changxun said, "The emergence of DEEPSEEK made Qian Du realize there’s an opportunity to overtake in a curve. If Qian Du can acquire DEEPSEEK, and combine it with its own search engine,

not to mention survival, it might even get a second life and reemerge as one of the top three internet giants domestically."

"I’m just curious, if they want to acquire DEEPSEEK, why attack the short video platform I bought under the guise of Kiwifruit?"

Chen Yiyang came to Wu Changxun to get clarity on this matter.

Because the DEEPSEEK he invested in could indeed be devastating to Qian Du in the future.

But Qian Du wasn’t competing with him in the AI model field; so why launch an attack on the short video platform he just acquired?

"Because you’ve spread yourself too thin." This time, Wu Changxun didn’t play games and spoke straight to the point.

"As long as they can create issues for your cash flow, would you consider selling some highly promising yet currently unprofitable companies?

At that point, wouldn’t Qian Du have a chance?

As for the costs incurred in the process, for Qian Du, they don’t exist at all, because your Qinguo is already in a competitive relationship with Kiwifruit."

After speaking, Wu Changxun said to Chen Yiyang, "I’m leaving for the day, promised my daughter I’d take her out tonight, so I won’t have dinner with you."

"I understand." Chen Yiyang left Wu Changxun’s office and didn’t stay long in Peng City before directly returning to Lin’an.

He thought a lot during that trip.

Then suddenly realized.

Actually, it’s not just Wei Yujun and Qian Du hunting him.

As Wu Changxun said, he had indeed spread himself very thin.

But most of the companies he invested in have a very promising future.

From an investment perspective, the more he invests now, the more assets he has.

But assets don’t equate to cash.

With so many investments scattered around, from an external point of view, his cash flow must look unhealthy.

Their attacks aren’t on Qinguo, his live streaming company, the automotive supply chain, or the instant retail itself.

They’re attacking Chen Yiyang’s cash flow.

It’s not just Qian Du and Wei Yujun behind this; there’s a whole group.

They eagerly wish to use various means to force issues with Chen Yiyang’s cash flow, leading to eventual cash exhaustion.

At that moment, when a whale falls, everything thrives.

The assets in Chen Yiyang’s hands could definitely satisfy them all.

By then, all the assets Chen Yiyang painstakingly picked up would be picked up by others instead.

This is a hunt specifically targeted at him.

And what’s more terrifying is that in this hunt, Chen Yiyang has no allies.

Wu Changxun’s hints were already the maximum help he could offer.

Qian Du and Wei Yujun hope to feast on the assets in Chen Yiyang’s hands.

Jindong, Tengxu, and even another star enterprise in Lin’an, Ali, wouldn’t want the same?

It’s just that, out of regard for their cooperation with Chen Yiyang and the backing he has from people like Yang Chengru, they wouldn’t personally get involved in the hunt, but rather wait quietly for Chen Yiyang to potentially collapse, allowing them to snatch a few morsels amid the chaos.

Perhaps when Chen Yiyang falls, because of the good relationship they share, he’d prioritize selling some assets to them.

In the coming days, as expected, attacks against Chen Yiyang increased.

Many of the industries under his name began to feel competitive pressure and required financial support.

"Gundam Capital has filed a lawsuit against us." A junior accountant approached Chen Yiyang, "They are accusing us of setting up subsidiaries to bypass fellow shareholder Gundam Capital, thus embezzling company revenue."

"Okay, I know." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Gundam Capital had also jumped out.

Although Gundam Capital and Chen Yiyang had been at odds before, faced with some of Chen Yiyang’s previous maneuvers, Gundam Capital remained inactive.

Because then, the valuation of Kuxing Coffee had plummeted to rock bottom, facing a life-and-death crisis. If the two major shareholders started an internal war, Kuxing would indeed be done for.

But now Kuxing has resurrected and its market value has begun to rise.

Gundam Capital naturally wants to step out and vie for control over Kuxing.

Although the likelihood of success isn’t high, there’s definitely a force behind supporting Gundam Capital in dragging Chen Yiyang into legal battles, consuming his energy.

"Let’s do this." Chen Yiyang told the junior accountant, "Go settle at Kuxing’s headquarters for a while, partly to stabilize morale, and partly to see if there’s any chance of getting Gundam out of Kuxing through financial maneuvers."

"No problem." The junior accountant, noticing Chen Yiyang’s not-so-good state recently, nodded and agreed.

After the junior accountant left, one of Chen Yiyang’s assistants walked in and said, "Chen, the vice president of Heartbeat wants to meet with you."

Heartbeat is the parent company behind Douyin, the third emerging giant network company after Tengxu and Ali.

However, Chen Yiyang hadn’t interacted much with Heartbeat before.

This time they sent over a vice president, so Chen Yiyang nodded and agreed to the meeting.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I’m Liu Chen from Heartbeat."

"Hello, Mr. Liu." Chen Yiyang addressed the other party politely.

Even though he’s just a vice president, Chen Yiyang wasn’t tactless enough to specifically add the ’vice’ in conversation.

"Mr. Liu, what brings you here to talk with me?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"I came to ask if you’re selling Qingguo and DEEPSEEK?"

"Hmm?" Chen Yiyang abruptly raised his head.
