The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

If speaking out against Old Yue is wrong, then everyone present felt a bit nervous. But for now, they're not opposed to Old Yue, it's just that he's been "temporarily" misled by that kid with the surname Su, which led to less accurate judgments. They're merely exposing the schemes of that kid named Su.

"Hehe, but this Xiao Su is not simple. Although he hasn't made a name for himself yet, from what I observe, he will certainly become extraordinary in the future."

Old Yue seemed to want to speak a few words on behalf of Xiao Su, but just at this moment, the door of the restaurant opened, and a secretary hurriedly walked up to Ma Chenggong and whispered a few words.

"Oh?" Ma Chenggong's expression turned a mix of surprise, anger, and a hint of pleasant surprise after hearing the news.

He gestured for his secretary to leave the room and, suppressing his emotions, said, "Old Yue, it seems there's really nothing we need to worry about anymore. Over there, they've already begun taking action. On one hand, they've announced that six completed residential units will be sold at reduced prices according to national standards, and the proportion of affordable housing is even higher than the national requirement. On the other hand, they've announced that all current projects will be sold under the same standards."

"Hmph! It's just empty talk. We've used this tactic several times. Once the buildings are truly completed, who will remember what they said today? I reckon their actions will stop at that."

"Well, let's ignore them for now. If they truly reduce prices for sales, it could really entice those fools. But now Lin Chuan must invest a significant amount of capital, or he won't be able to withstand it."

"Old Yue! There's no need to hesitate anymore! Since they've focused on the real estate market, it clearly shows they're internally vulnerable, with no defenses. It's the perfect time to strike!"

"Alright!" Old Yue seems to have been convinced by them, "Given the situation, let's proceed as you suggest. However, I mistakenly trusted that kid Su, and I'm too ashamed to share the profits with them. Therefore, this time, you will lead the action, and my funds will come in a few days."

"Uh?" Ma Chenggong and others could hardly believe their ears upon hearing Old Yue's words.

When did Old Yue get such a "conscience"? Or is he really unable to face his long-standing reputation?

In any case, regardless of his motives, since he said it himself, they certainly won't hold back.

Ma Chenggong chuckled dryly and said, "Hehe, Old Yue, look how you said that. Who hasn't made a mistake? But since you want to hold off a few days, we can't pressure you, can we? But rest assured, once we take down Sichuan University Group, your share will certainly not be short."

"Exactly, exactly." Others quickly echoed.

"Alright, time is of the essence. You don't need to waste time here with me, this old man. Go back early to prepare, and give everything you've got!"

After a few polite exchanges, most of those present promptly left, with only a few remaining to discuss other matters with Old Yue.

After Ma Chenggong and others left, the restaurant suddenly erupted in laughter.

"Okay, the outsiders have all left. Xiao Su, you can come out now."

The side door of the restaurant opened, and a young man walked out: "Old Yue, what is this act you're putting on? Give me a straightforward answer about whether our collaboration will succeed or not."

Old Yue laughed, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here today. But this time, I can't entrust all their funds to you; only the funds of those present can be given."

"Oh?" Xiao Su glanced around and immediately understood Old Yue's intention: "It seems these are Old Yue's true confidants. Hehe, unexpectedly, Old Yue's influence has reached such a surprising extent. Impressive. Well, let's cut to the chase. Funds, hand them over to me, and the future returns will exceed your imagination!"

Old Yue didn't waste any more words, directly pushing forward the authorization documents he had prepared early: "Take this, I'll send a few secretaries and consultants to assist you."

"That's not necessary." Upon hearing Old Yue's words, Xiao Su frowned, "I have my own team; your people would just get in the way."

"These people are essential!" Old Yue's voice carried an irrefutable authority, even making the otherwise fearless Xiao Su feel a bit apprehensive.

"Then, alright, but unless absolutely necessary, these people shouldn't interfere with my investments." Xiao Su also understood what Old Yue's people were really here for. They're not here to "help" him but to "monitor" him!

"Of course. Now, you can freely use these funds. Remember, don't let me down, or you'll certainly have a hard time.

Initially, many homebuyers had long developed immunity to the various empty promises made by real estate developers. They've already begun taking actual steps, with all their available properties starting to decrease in price.

Those who just received the news rushed maddeningly to the sales offices of those projects. In the end, even the police had to be called in to maintain order.

On the other hand, those who received the news late could only stand at a distance, watching the overwhelming crowd, with no chance of squeezing in, feeling remorseful.

However, the situation quickly reversed.

Tianfu Energy announced that all their reduced-price properties can only be reserved with personal ID registration, and must not exceed two properties, or it's not just about whether you can get loans; even at the highest prices, they won't sell.

Xu, a senior Tianfu Energy official, personally appeared at the sales office, publicly declaring that this price reduction is genuinely for the benefit of ordinary homebuyers. They have connected with the police for identity verification and the real estate bureau for property verification; anyone coming here to buy agrees to undergo property verification.

The announcement drew curses from within, and some began to stir up trouble. But this action was supported by many high-level officials, including Mayor Yan, and the police immediately took control of those causing trouble without hesitation.

An hour later, the crowded masses inside were surprisingly half cleared!

This is understandable, as those "professionals" who make a living by flipping properties are much more informed than ordinary people, allowing them to seize the opportunity and exclude most of those who truly need housing.

Upon hearing the details from inside, those outside who still refused to give up were surely stunned by the immense surprise.

As soon as they regain their senses, everyone rushed forward cheering. This time, they would rather die than be squeezed out by others!

Lin Chuan returned to the company, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw Ma Yilin approaching: "Mr. Lin, Sister Liang asked me to tell you that further actions have already begun over there!"

"Oh?" Lin Chuan was also curious as to how those old foxes planned to deal with him, the top operator in the financial circle.

Entering Liang Ruoyu's office, he found her and Tang Yumeng discussing something while pointing at the computer screen.

"What's the matter? I heard from Yilin that they have new moves," Lin Chuan said, looking at the two.

Liang Ruoyu said, "That's right, Mr. Lin, look, just an hour ago, Xinhuan Shares' stock market halted its surge, while our group experienced a significant decline in stock rate. Trading volume also increased dramatically, evidently they've injected new funds and started preliminary suppression, testing investors' confidence in us."

"Oh? That's rather standard." Lin Chuan smiled and glanced at the trading curve from the past hour, "But that's the extent of their capability. Xiao Wei, what are your plans for countering this?"

"As planned, we'll show a certain level of helplessness to make them complacent."

Liang Ruoyu and Tang Yumeng both knew the market investors had significant confidence in their information, unlikely to collapse from this minor setback, so it wouldn't be a big problem to indulge them to some extent.

"As for Xinhuan Pharmaceutical, I suspect they're temporarily not planning any disruptions here. After all, new products are the strongest assets, and if they spread their funds widely, it would pose less threat to us. Now, this gradual rise is due to their reserve funds for expanding gains anytime."

"Seems that's their plan." Tang Yumeng silently admired, Lin Chuan only took a quick look to reach an accurate conclusion, while she and Liang Ruoyu had to discuss repeatedly to come to the same conclusion.

With Lin Chuan setting the main strategy, he certainly didn't need to personally handle the details anymore.

At this moment, he still needed to oversee the big picture, making decisions for the company's normal production and the real estate actions, unless the opportunity was right or absolutely necessary.

During this period, Ma Yilin and the veteran employees collected quite a few independent research achievements.

In the following days, Tang Yumeng and Liang Ruoyu, following the previous plan, didn't rush to retaliate, letting them repeatedly suppress Sichuan University's stocks.

And starting from the fourth day, they secretly shifted to the debt market instead.

This amused Lin Chuan's team even more.
