Chapter 1398 - 1392: Secret Contest
Without any basis, everyone subconsciously started to pay attention to the stocks of several major companies related to the Sichuan University Group. The recent storm in the business world seemed to be associated with that newly rising star enterprise.
As if to confirm their thoughts, the stocks of Xinhuan Pharmaceutical suddenly surged, while Sichuan University Group also experienced abnormal fluctuations, rising and falling unpredictably, but the trading volume was astonishingly large.
"Here it comes!" In the Sichuan University Group, a gleam appeared in Liang Ruoyu's eyes, but she made no move.
On one hand, Lin Chuan had given prior instructions, and on the other hand, after several previous battles, she no longer regarded this kind of turmoil.
Now, Liang Ruoyu was already one of the most experienced traders in the country, even ranking among the best financial talents. With the home field advantage and plenty of funds at hand, even if Lin Chuan were to take action himself, he couldn't confidently say he'd gain any advantage over her.
Tang Yumeng was slightly excited, but after seeing Liang Ruoyu's calm demeanor, she quickly suppressed her excitement: "Everyone keep a close watch on these fund movements, but don't make any obvious moves yet. Xiao Hu, follow the plan we've set, just intercept lightly so they don't get suspicious."
After speaking, Tang Yumeng asked Liang Ruoyu: "Sister Liang, what do you think their main goal is this time?"
Liang Ruoyu replied: "Those people are all old foxes, even if they're confident in their financial strength, they must be trying to test our stance this time. Look at the surge in Xinhuan Pharmaceutical's stocks; they might also want the market to help them maintain the stock prices. Before the real showdown, they can both collect chips this way and earn some extra funds."
Tang Yumeng nodded; Liang Ruoyu's analysis matched her own perfectly, and she sneered: "Their plan is good, but this method is what we've played with before. They don't realize that they're helping us increase our capital, even more than their own."
Liang Ruoyu also chuckled, continuing to watch the market dynamics.
When anticipating those real estate businessmen would manipulate their stocks, they had already recovered a significant portion in advance. The high-priority Xinhuan Pharmaceutical, with its new drug development advantage, stood out.
Now, it's almost the money tree known to everyone in the market, possessing numerous independent patents, Xinhuan Pharmaceutical is one of the hardest enterprises to topple in the stock market, apart from several state monopoly giants.
Elsewhere, Lin Chuan, who was negotiating new residential designs with the senior management of Tianfu Energy, received the information.
However, he showed no hesitation and opened the stock system directly in front of the other company's executives, clearly indicating that a large amount of capital was being used to buy and sell stocks of the three major groups.
"Haha, since they've started moving, but over there it's calm and quiet. Do they really think they can fool us with such a clumsy approach?" Lin Chuan said.
Manager Xu smiled wryly: "Forget it, our group doesn't have your deep pocket. It's just as well they aren't bothering us."
"Mr. Lin, the amount of capital they've invested this time doesn't seem small. Will it affect your upcoming plans, and how significant will the impact be on us?" Tianfu Energy was working with Lin Chuan for the first time. Even though he had heard of the fame of Sichuan University Group and Lin Chuan, the confidence wasn't entirely there yet.
"I can tell you, there won't be the slightest impact. Their current moves were already within our expectations, and we have methods to counter them." Lin Chuan said confidently, which also eased Tianfu Energy's concerns.
"Moreover, Manager Xu, since they've made a move, we shouldn't sit idle either."
Manager Xu's eyes lit up: "Are you suggesting we should start suppressing their market immediately?"
Lin Chuan said: "That's right, judging from the capital flow over the past few days, they've invested a lot this time. Their funds should be nearly exhausted, leaving them powerless to stop your actions."
"Great! This is the opportunity we've been waiting for!" Manager Xu, convinced by Lin Chuan's analysis, no longer worried about being used as a pawn. If successful, the Hongfeng Group would regain its standing in the industry and restore its former glory.
Lin Chuan stated: "On the other hand, I hope to leverage this real estate shake-up to launch our new concept residential project. Ladies and gentlemen, we've already had preliminary discussions, and there's no time to waste. I suggest we reach an agreement now, with all parties investing maximum effort to produce a mature plan in the short term!"
"Great! I like your straightforwardness, Mr. Lin, and we have no objections." Tianfu Energy, being closely tied to the success or failure of Sichuan University Group and Lin Chuan, agreed immediately.
After considering the pros and cons, Tianfu Energy felt that although such a plan might offend current real estate magnates, it would greatly enhance Tianfu Energy's reputation.
For so long, Tianfu Energy's technology has been one of the best in the domestic new energy field, but due to a late start, it has been long overshadowed by several leading companies. Now is a prime opportunity to escape this predicament!
Moreover, he was here, partly, for the former secretary of the City Committee's sake, a rising political star, whom he wouldn't dare to offend. Given the strong support from Mayor Yan for the Sichuan University Group, he made the decision: "Alright! Since everyone here is straightforward, I'll cut to the chase. Let's reach an agreement today!"
Each of them raised their glasses in a toast. This alliance, which would fundamentally affect the domestic real estate landscape in the future, was consummated.
Of course, the current outlook is merely an outlook, and whether they can defeat these old foxes in the real estate market depends on their specific actions.
In the past three days, there was no intense direct confrontation in the stocks of companies related to the Sichuan University Group.
On one hand, Sichuan University Group, "lacking funds," was making large investments elsewhere, and on the other hand, the real estate alliance needed to test Lin Chuan's response before making a final decision.
"Everyone, I've already conveyed Xiao Su's analysis to you. Although it seems our actions in the past few days have been fairly successful, considering the overall situation, if Xiao Su's worries come true, our funds might get stuck and it will be difficult to extricate ourselves. So my suggestion is to not invest too heavily right now. There's no harm in being cautious."
"Elder Yue, we've always dared not question your opinion, but now is a great opportunity, and you're asking us to withdraw? Haha, you must be joking, right?"
In the past, no one present would have dared speak to Elder Yue like this.
But now, what Elder Yue was doing resembled cutting off their future profits!
Initially, they took action against Sichuan University Group with a probing mentality, but after several tests, they found success. Those high-priced resource traders they hired also grew more confident. In their eyes, Lin Chuan was just an outsider who rose to the top relying on luck. Compared to these old hands, he was nothing.
Regarding Yenan Xin and the rest, they're merely individuals who couldn't fully display their prowess on the international market due to the strict domestic financial regulations.
If they had been able to step into the international financial market earlier, they might have already been on par with Sodis!
"Elder Yue, you have to realize, we earned this opportunity at the risk of having our nests wiped out. If we don't seize it, we might suffer for it instead! If Lin Chuan comes to his senses and withdraws his funds, we may never get such a chance again! Moreover, the losses in the real estate market can't be recovered."
Ma Chenggong was also full of ambition at this moment!
Back then, that kid named Lin Chuan dared to embarrass him at the Chinese Business Association! Hmph! Ignorant of his limitations. And now, Lin Chuan's life was almost entirely in his hands. When they eventually seize the Sichuan University Group, he wanted to see what Lin Chuan could boast about.
"Elder Yue! Think about it, that's the Sichuan University Group! Consider Red Origin Mobile, and think of the new drugs launched by Xinhuan Pharmaceutical recently, they're like money-printing machines. Once we're in control, we can get whatever money we want. Opportunities like this will never come again."
Everyone present was speaking fervently. The cunning and caution they've developed over the years seemed to vanish.
None of them could discern Elder Yue's expression now, otherwise, the current atmosphere wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.
Nonetheless, when Elder Yue finally spoke again, they could still feel a chilling presence.
"So, you've already made up your mind not to give up this opportunity? Ready to go all out, with no turning back?"
"Ahem, Elder Yue, don't say it like that. We just want to seize the opportunity. If it were somewhere else, we definitely wouldn't go against your words like this, but you agreed to this operation too. I think that Xiao Su kid has exaggerated a bit. We've rolled in the business world for years, what kind of storms haven't we seen? Don't be deceived by an inexperienced young man." This elder's statement immediately reminded the other members.
