Chapter 1405 - 1399: Trump Card
"Of course, I have my ways. Does Junior Su really think there is a man in this world that I, your senior, cannot handle?" Zhuang Ya showed no signs of discomfort due to Su Lengfeng's expression, gracefully approaching him and gently touching his chest with her jade-like hand.
This seemed like a very ordinary action, but for some reason, when Zhuang Ya did it, it carried an elegant and mesmerizing allure!
Su Lengfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body instinctively wanted to retreat. He barely managed to suppress this impulse with great willpower.
He was absolutely unwilling to show even a hint of fear in front of this woman!
"Zhuang Ya, you still haven't answered my question!"
Carefully observing Su Lengfeng's expression for a while, seeing no change in his stern demeanor, Zhuang Ya sighed softly, "I traveled all the way to this place for your sake, of course. Junior Su, your actions are too flamboyant and direct. This way, you'll only end up getting hurt. It's time to stop."
"Stop?"
Su Lengfeng was not the least bit surprised by Zhuang Ya's words; instead, he displayed a mocking expression, "And for my sake, you want me to stop! Zhuang Ya, you're putting yourself on too high a pedestal, aren't you? Who do you think you are, and what do you see me as? A pawn for you to manipulate?"
The members of Su Lengfeng's team couldn't help but glance over. They rarely heard Su Lengfeng speak in such a loud voice, let alone saw him, as he seemed now, on the verge of losing his composure.
"I never said that. It's just that in our view, you're not yet a match for Lin Chuan. If you stop now, it's not too late. Once you're in too deep, even we can't save you!"
"I don't need you to save me at all!" Su Lengfeng sneered, turning to his desk and abruptly turning his computer around.
"You've probably seen the market performance of the three major groups related to Sichuan University Group recently, haven't you? Given your capabilities, I don't need to remind you that right now, it's me, not Lin Chuan, who holds the market initiative! Moreover, my plans go far beyond this!"
"Oh?" Zhuang Ya, appearing relaxed, followed him, showing no sign of having her opinion changed by whatever decisive evidence Su Lengfeng might present.
"Look, these messages have already appeared in several highly influential media outlets. Soon, the market will react in a chain reaction! Do you think, given the current trend, Sichuan University Group still stands a chance?"
Zhuang Ya's gaze slightly narrowed, noticing the content on Su Lengfeng's computer screen.
"What's going on!" Lin Chuan slammed the documents on the table in anger, standing up from his office chair at once.
The documents contained today's articles from many influential media outlets about their company. The explosive content was even more shocking compared to the recent blows against Xinhuan Pharmaceutical.
AG Pharmaceuticals of the United States would join forces with Northern Pharmaceutical to transfer some of their company's valuable patented medicines to Hua Xia for production.
However, Tang Yumeng and Liang Ruoyu, who had already digested these messages, managed to stay calm, sighing long, "Some of this information is definitely false, but like last time, breaking these rumors requires time. Currently, our company's stock prices are plummeting, indicating that investor confidence is weakest. If we delay, changes might happen."
Watching Tang Yumeng's reaction, a hint of reassurance flashed across Lin Chuan's heart.
He had already mentioned to Tang Yumeng about having a backup plan, but she didn't bring it up, clearly not considering it as their lifeline in her strategy. This truly reflects the mindset of a mature investor.
Admittedly, the opponent's media offensive is fierce, and they'd already planned to unleash this trump card; now they're just rolling with the punches.
Lin Chuan explained the matter of Xinhuan Pharmaceutical's new drug to Liang Ruoyu, and her previously tense face slowly relaxed.
"This news is enough to counter these baseless rumors. As for the news about AG Pharmaceuticals entering the domestic market, that's only an intention. I believe investors will know which news to consider. However, such information shouldn't be used casually."
Lin Chuan smiled slightly. Liang Ruoyu, truly worthy of being the experienced head of the investment department: "Exactly, you guys go make preparations, see how much capital we can mobilize for the final battle against them."
Liang Ruoyu hesitantly said, "But Mr. Lin, given the opponent's capital scale, achieving the maximum effect might not be possible just with our company's funds. Unless we can reallocate some funds from elsewhere."
Although Liang Ruoyu didn't mention where to draw from, their concentrated field of investment was now evident.
Lin Chuan felt a bit guilty. Over such a long period, Tang Yumeng and Liang Ruoyu had been dealing with the opponent with absolutely weaker resources. For these two girls, such perseverance is indeed commendable.
"Don't worry. I'll have a word with Tianfu Energy. Besides keeping some prepaid funds, all other funds should start reallocating, potentially recovering a significant amount."
"Huh? What about the real estate market? Are you planning to let them off?" Tang Yumeng said in surprise, "Lin Chuan, we've finally achieved such results. You should see that they're so desperate they're even resorting to spreading rumors. If we give up, we might not get another chance like this."
Lin Chuan smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry. We have another way to resolve the funding in that area. What you need to consider is how to trap their funds in the stock market. Hehe, they've been stirring up trouble for so long. It's not that easy for them to walk away without paying a price."
Since Lin Chuan had said so, there was no need for Tang Yumeng and Liang Ruoyu to worry about this part, and they promptly returned to prepare their counterattack.
On the other side, watching the curve's changes on the screen, Su Lengfeng sneered: "There is indeed a reaction. After the previous hits, everyone's confidence in Sichuan University Group is no longer as solid. So? Seeing this now, do you still believe I have no chance of winning?"
Zhuang Ya, having snapped out of her initial reaction to his message, smiled calmly: "It's probably not that simple. Lin Chuan is also an expert in investment and should be aware of how much impact your messages can have on their company's foundation. His reaction is unusual."
"Uh." Her reminder left Su Lengfeng slightly stunned.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that what she said mirrored his own underlying concerns.
However, facing her, he was unwilling to admit any miscalculation, especially since all of this was speculative without any basis. For all he knew, Lin Chuan might be clueless about how to proceed.
Don't forget that the real estate market was heavily suppressed, requiring massive capital input to achieve that, and loopholes in the stock market are inevitable.
"Hmph! Now that the messages are out and investors affected, whatever measures he takes will already be too late. Moreover, our messages were released suddenly; Lin Chuan might have been caught off guard, with no time to prepare a response."
Zhuang Ya shook her head, saying, "That possibility is very low. Previously, your success was precisely because you suddenly spread unfavorable messages about them. They've already learned from it once. How could they not enhance their defense against this trick?"
"It doesn't matter. I'll launch an all-out attack now! Even if he has some scheme, once the shares of the three major groups crash, he'll have no chance to recover!"
Ignoring her words that could disrupt his thoughts, Su Lengfeng coldly issued the various pre-arranged orders.
His team immediately took action, and capital from various sources once again poured into the market, forcing hesitant investors to face "reality."
The predators behind the scenes had begun to move, and if investors delayed any longer, they might end up with nothing!
Watching Su Lengfeng's actions, a mocking expression flashed in Zhuang Ya's eyes, though she said nothing.
"They've started moving!" Seeing the sudden fluctuations in stock prices and the astonishing volumes below, Lin Chuan abruptly stood up, "Sister Liang, initiate our response plan immediately. I'll now call Dongchen Review and release the news. This time, we will ensure they'll never return!"
