The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 1089 - 1085: Qin Hao’s Call
"Affected by national policies, the real estate market has fluctuated significantly recently. Fewer people are willing to invest in buying property..."
Gongsun Rou began the real estate report.
Undoubtedly, it was another piece of bad news making matters worse.
The elders listened and their expressions turned grim.
So many challenging situations happening at once.
Was this all pre-arranged?
Already in a bad mood, hearing this made everyone’s hearts feel desolate.
Gongsun Hong could sense the lowered morale in the air.
As a leader, he had to stand up: "With so many things happening within the family, I know everyone is feeling down. But, have you forgotten? Many times before, the family faced the brink of bankruptcy, collapse. Yet, didn’t we pull through?"
"This crisis, compared to those in the past, is really nothing, so we’ll get through it easily!"
The Gongsun Family members are all businessmen, each very shrewd; a few words can’t easily fool them.
After Gongsun Hong’s impassioned speech, not many chose to speak up.
Gongsun Qiang suddenly said, "Patriarch, I have let you down!"
Gongsun Hong looked at him in surprise.
Gongsun Qiang pulled out a financial report, "I lost a billion from the last operation..."
Bang!
Gongsun Hong slammed the report on the table, wanting to burst out in anger, but seeing Gongsun Qiang’s guilty expression, he forcibly took a breath and calmly said, "You’ve worked diligently and made a lot of money for the family; I’ll overlook this matter."
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
Gongsun Qiang sat down, face full of gratitude.
Many elders felt even more disheartened.
How did even Gongsun Qiang get involved in trouble? These days, things are really unsettling.
Gongsun Hong felt overwhelmed by the family’s issues.
To take the initiative to attack, but the Situ Family hasn’t shown any weakness.
Acting without cause would put us at a disadvantage concerning legitimacy.
Moreover, if a war truly starts, it might not be beneficial for the family’s future development.
In the face of such a panic-inducing situation, starting a family war is unwise.
But doing nothing, who knows what the Situ Family and Qin Hao are planning?
For the first time as patriarch, Gongsun Hong encountered such a mess.
Ring ring ring.
A cell phone suddenly rang abruptly.
The elders frowned.
Who dares to bring a cellphone into the meeting room?
But seeing Gongsun Hu answering the call, the elders felt relieved.
Ah, it’s Xiaohu, only he can bring a phone.
Due to Gongsun Hu’s status and importance, he is the only one, apart from the patriarch, allowed to carry a phone.
Because stock market fluctuations can cause countless numbers to evaporate in a matter of seconds.
"Hello, is this Tan?"
Gongsun Hu started talking on the phone.
"Yes, it’s me; I’m at a meeting."
"What’s the matter?"
"What! Are you serious?"
"Can’t be!"
Gongsun Hu’s face shifted from calm to panic over the course of the call.
Everyone’s hearts also panicked.
What could cause the always calm Gongsun Hu to be afraid?
After Gongsun Hu retrieved the call, his expression was very grim: "Patriarch, Fangzheng’s stocks are being targeted!"
"What’s happening?"
Gongsun Hong furrowed his brows, waving his hand broadly, "Someone, come."
Soon, two guards stepped up to set up the projector.
The crowd could quickly see the stock market situation on the screen.
Their eyes searched the image intently, quickly finding the family’s critical stock.
Seeing how low the stock’s numbers were, the elders felt chills down their spines.
"Impossible!" Gongsun Rui slammed the table and stood up; "Aren’t we higher than this when we first listed?"
Clearly, such an excellent stock ended up in this state.
What’s going on?
"It shouldn’t be! In any aspect, Fangzheng’s stocks should not be declining, in this bad shape? Does the Situ Family really have the power?"
The old hands in the room are all seasoned at the market.
After analyzing briefly, they felt the situation was very bizarre.
Under normal circumstances, something that could suppress the Gongsun Family like this in the stock market,
Huaxia, truly doesn’t have it.
Could it be foreign forces?
But why would they, without reason, risk invading Huaxia’s stock market?
"I remember!" Gongsun Qiang suddenly shouted: "I know Li Hua from the Li Family. He said Qin Hao knows Johnson’s CEO Smith!"
"Johnson? The foreign pharmaceutical giant?" an elder exclaimed.
"That’s him!" Gongsun Qiang clutched his head: "Li Hua also mentioned that Qin Hao knows many renowned businessmen abroad..."
Words ended here, and even if Gongsun Qiang didn’t continue, everyone began to connect the dots.
Could all of this genuinely be Qin Hao’s doing?
Ring ring ring.
The phone started ringing.
It was still Gongsun Hu’s phone.
He glanced at it but didn’t hurry to answer. Instead said: "Unknown number."
Gongsun Hong, feeling agitated, said: "Answer it."
Gongsun Hu connected the call and enabled the speaker.
The moment the voice from the phone emerged, everyone’s nerves tensed up.
"Long time no see everyone, how’s it going?"
Undoubtedly, that infuriating voice, that mocking tone.
Who else could it be but Qin Hao?
"Qin Hao!"
An elder slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"You scoundrel!"
Gongsun Qiang’s face was distorted with fury, full of rage.
Facing the cries of anger, Qin Hao merely replied indifferently: "Everyone’s still got the leisure to be angry, I guess it hasn’t fallen enough yet!"
The meaning behind these words was evident; everyone present heard it clearly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
It seems all the Gongsun Family’s crises were Qin Hao’s doing?
"Qin Hao, was all this your doing?" Gongsun Hong adjusted his mood and said in as calm a tone as possible.
"Indeed, it was me." Qin Hao’s voice was still so lazy: "Regarding all of this, does anyone still find it satisfying?"
No one replied.
After all, Qin Hao’s admission of culpability sent shockwaves.
Stocks, real estate, entities, even gambling.
Multi-line attacks can be counted as it were.
Yet everything is precisely targeted.
Is such capability achievable by an ordinary person?
Even if multiple Huaxia families combined forces, they may not be able to orchestrate such a feat.
Qin Hao, just one person, yet he could cause such an impact.
Thinking of this, many elders felt a heavy weight on their backs, carrying a mountain.
Some even recalled the scene when Qin Hao came to demand the Celestial Dragon Order.
He maintained courtesy all along, yet his words carried an unquestionable tone.
In hindsight, that unquestionable tone seems reasonable now.
Originally, Qin Hao wasn’t arrogant; he just had pure confidence.
"So have you all figured it out now?" Qin Hao’s leisurely words echoed: "I only want to borrow the Celestial Dragon Order briefly, hope everyone won’t hold back."
