My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 108 - 107 Bullying by the Throat
Su Group.
Top floor.
Inside the Chairman's office.
Su Zhentian was staring at the computer screen, and his expression was extremely ugly.
"Chairman, we have already spent over ten billion for the stock acquisition," Ding Xiang said cautiously.
"Continue acquiring," Su Zhentian said without looking up, "I can bear a loss of ten billion."
"But..." Ding Xiang's face showed a worried expression, "If we go on... our losses will be even greater..."
"Even if the losses are greater, I cannot let Gao Fei's schemes prevail!" Su Zhentian's tone was very resolute, "He acquires stocks and then becomes a shareholder of the Su Group, after that, he interferes with the operation of the Su Group, causing me trouble—it's a clever plan, but I absolutely will not let him succeed."
"Gao Fei has already acquired 4 percent of the stocks."
"The Group's rules state that only those holding more than 10 percent of the stocks are qualified to participate in the operations of the Group. As long as Gao Fei doesn't get to 10 percent, it will be fine."
"I've calculated that there are 21 percent of the stocks out there as float, Gao Fei has acquired 4 percent, we have acquired 5 percent, leaving 12 percent remaining. Now the price of stocks has already tripled and is still rising. To buy back all the remaining stocks, at least a hundred billion will be needed, maybe even more."
"How much money is left in the Group's accounts?"
"Around 150 billion."
"That's enough," Su Zhentian nodded, "Enough to buy back the float out there." He paused, then added, "Actually, looking at it from another angle, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."
Ding Xiang was stunned, "A good thing? Being bullied and squeezed is a good thing? Has Chairman Su become muddled by anger?"
"Indeed," Su Zhentian picked up a cigar from the desk, lighted it, and took a puff, then slowly exhaled a stream of smoke, "Taking this opportunity to buy back all the float, my shareholding will increase, and then I can better control the Su Group." As he spoke, Su Zhentian gently exhaled another stream of smoke, "Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, it's just that I haven't implemented it until now."
"Chairman, have you considered," Ding Xiang said, "after this battle, the stock price of the Su Group will soar to a terrifying level. If it's not handled properly, it will cause a lot of trouble." Sometimes a high stock price is not a good thing, as it can easily trigger a series of chain reactions.
For example, based on normal assessments, the market value of the Su Group should be around hundreds of billions. Now with the stock soaring, the market value of the Su Group has risen to two trillion, which is an inflation. It will surely fall back eventually, and at that time, it's crucial to control the speed of the fall.
If it falls too quickly, it will affect the normal operation of the Su Group. At best, it will result in losing reputation and compensating with money, and at worst, it could mean going heavily into debt and bankruptcy. This is definitely not a joking matter.
"Don't worry, I have already thought of measures to deal with it," Su Zhentian said unconcernedly. "I started from scratch; what haven't I seen before? Gao Fei thinks he can suppress me through stocks, it's simply wishful thinking!"
...
Inside a five-star hotel.
Lu Hao burst into loud laughter, "This Su Zhentian is really a fool, unable to see the trap we've set up. That such a person with his intellect can become a billionaire is simply unbelievable."
"Don't underestimate Su Zhentian," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Su Zhentian is a shrewd man! It's just that this time he was too anxious and didn't think calmly, which is why he fell into our trap.
But it won't be long before he comes to his senses." Saying this, Gao Fei's mouth curved into a slight cold smile, "While Su Zhentian hasn't woken up to it yet, let's increase our investment and give him a harsh shake-up."
"Alrighty," Lu Hao picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Raise the price five-fold, continue sweeping up the Su Group's shares, grab as much as possible... What's with all the nonsense, just do what I tell you to, quickly!" Lu Hao put down the phone, turned to Gao Fei, and said, "Done, there'll be a good show soon..."
Sitting beside him, Feng Yan pursed her lips, "This tactic is clearly one of injuring the enemy a thousand and self-harming eight hundred. Even if Su Zhentian is finally brought down, you all will be badly hurt."
"Doesn't matter," Lu Hao waved his hand nonchalantly, "Isn't it just money? If it's gone, we'll earn it back! With Brother Fei's skills, making money is really too easy!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Gao Fei nodded, "Lu Hao is right, money isn't something to worry too much about. Spend it all and we'll earn it back, it's nothing! As long as we can make Su Zhentian suffer, no amount of money is too much to spend." For others, money is very important, but for Gao Fei, it's just a number.
...
"Damn Gao Fei!" Su Zhentian slammed the table hard, "He suddenly raised the price by five times!"
"What do we do? Should we follow?" Ding Xiang asked anxiously.
"Follow! We must follow!" Su Zhentian said through gritted teeth. "No matter how much he raises the prices, I will follow!"
"Alright," Ding Xiang picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Continue purchasing stocks, don't stop." After putting down the phone, worry flashed in Ding Xiang's eyes, "At this rate, we might not have enough funds."
"It's too late to get a loan from banks now." Getting a loan from a bank required many procedures, and the larger the loan, the more procedures were necessary. Right now, Su Zhentian simply couldn't afford to wait, so he had to find others to borrow money from. He took out his phone and dialed a number, "Dongfang Jian, I've encountered a bit of trouble, can you lend me some money...
Yeah, one hundred billion, I'll pay you back as soon as possible... Okay, okay, thanks." After hanging up, Su Zhentian said to Ding Xiang, "There, one hundred billion will be credited into our account soon."
"That's a relief," Ding Xiang sighed.
...
Dongfang Group.
In the top-floor office.
Dongfang Fengyun put down his phone and smiled slightly, "So Su Zhentian, the old fox, can't sit still anymore."
"Dad, do you really want to lend Su Zhentian ten billion?" Dongfang Jian asked.
"What? You don't want to lend it?" Dongfang Fengyun glanced at his son.
"It's ten billion, a lot," Dongfang Jian was somewhat reluctant.
"Short-sighted!" Dongfang Fengyun huffed, "No vision at all! By lending Su Zhentian ten billion this time, he'll owe me a huge favor. Once I ask for his daughter's hand, he won't be able to refuse. Once you marry Su Xiaorou, you are essentially securing the right to inherit the Su Group. Spending ten billion to acquire the Su Group is a bargain."
Dongfang Jian blinked, "That's true, how did I not think of that? Dad is always the clever one."
"But then again," Dongfang Fengyun frowned, "Who is giving Su Zhentian such a hard time? In just half a day, over ten billion was thrown in, this isn't something ordinary people can achieve."
"Haven't you sent someone to investigate? We should have news soon," Dongfang Jian said nonchalantly.
"Hmm, once this is over, I'll propose to Su Zhentian. I aim to have you and Su Xiaorou married by the end of the year," Dongfang Fengyun said as he picked up his teacup and took a slow sip, "During this period, you need to restrain yourself, don't stir up trouble, and leave a good impression on the Su family."
"Ah? Getting married by the end of the year?"
"What? You don't want to? Don't you like Su Xiaorou?"
"It's not that I don't like Su Xiaorou, but I don't want to get married so soon. I haven't had enough fun yet."
"What nonsense are you talking!" Dongfang Fengyun glared fiercely at his son, "It's settled! You must get married by the end of the year! Aim to give me a grandson next year."
"Sigh..." Dongfang Jian sighed, "There goes my freedom... about to vanish... I can't accept this... I just can't accept it..."
"Be serious!" Dongfang Fengyun snorted coldly, "You're all grown up and still acting like a child, you really don't give me any peace of mind."
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Soft knocking sounded at the door.
"Come in," Dongfang Fengyun called out.
"Click!"
The heavy door was gently pushed open, and then a woman dressed in a ladies' business suit entered. Her name was Song Chan, Dongfang Fengyun's secretary: "Chairman, I have finished the investigation you ordered."
"Who is behind the scenes, troubling Su Zhentian?" Dongfang Fengyun inquired.
"It's someone named Gao Fei," right after Song Chan finished speaking, Dongfang Jian, sitting on the chair next to them, let out a cry of surprise.
Dongfang Fengyun looked curiously at his son, "What's wrong?"
"I know someone named Gao Fei... but he is a bona fide pauper..." As he spoke, Dongfang Jian shook his head vigorously, "It must be a coincidence! Yes, that must be it! That Gao Fei couldn't possibly have such capability." Looking up at Song Chan, Dongfang Jian asked, "How old is this Gao Fei, where is he from? Do you have his photo?"
"We have a photo," Song Chan took out a newspaper, "This is the Southern City newspaper, it has published a picture of Gao Fei..."
Dongfang Jian hurriedly snatched the newspaper and looked down, his face frozen in shock... How could it be him?
"Son, what's the matter?" Dongfang Fengyun asked, puzzled.
Dongfang Jian looked up, a wry smile on his face: "I know this Gao Fei."
"Oh?" Dongfang Fengyun raised an eyebrow, "You know him? How did you meet?"
"Gao Fei used to be a security guard at the Su Group..." Dongfang Jian briefly explained the situation, "It's unimaginable, in just over half a year, that pauper Gao Fei jumped through the dragon's gate and transformed into a wealthy tycoon. It's simply inconceivable."
"Give me the newspaper," Dongfang Fengyun extended his hand to his son.
Dongfang Jian stood up and handed him the newspaper.
"Chairman of Feitian Group, assets worth tens of billions," Dongfang Fengyun read slowly, "Southern City's youngest tycoon..." Looking up at Dongfang Jian, he said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? The Gao Fei in the newspaper is the one you know?" It wasn't that Dongfang Fengyun didn't believe his son's words; it was just that the matter was too unbelievable.
For someone to accumulate assets worth tens of billions in just over half a year sounded like a myth.
