Chapter 785: Chapter 504: Six Billion, All In!

Inside the meeting room, after confirming the strategic goal, Qi Yun looked at Liu Guangxin and suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Uncle Liu, how much funding can you mobilize right now?"

Liu Guangxin was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, but he replied truthfully, "Approximately nine hundred million in cash."

"What do you intend to do?"

Qi Yun sat up straight, with a serious expression he said, "I think this is a good opportunity to short the Ugly Group."

Liu Guangxin’s pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing the word "short."

He didn’t expect Qi Yun to have such a plan. Not only does he want to defend himself and counterattack, but he also wants to seize the opportunity to take a bite?

Liu Guangxin didn’t answer immediately, instead he was considering the feasibility of this matter.

From their perspective, indeed they currently hold the advantage. Once the evidence is released, it will likely corner the Ugly Group.

But nothing is absolute.

Public opinion is also a war, and being a war there is always the possibility of failure, entirely depending on how the other side reacts.

After pondering for a moment, he stared at Qi Yun intently: "What if... they deny the authenticity of this evidence? Do you have another card?"

"As expected, I can’t hide anything from Uncle Liu." Qi Yun smiled and then said seriously, "The reason I have this idea is that I still have an ace up my sleeve!"

"Chen Xiaozhi is in my hands! So they can’t deny it!"

"Even backing up a step, if they somehow manage to stabilize the situation, I’ll directly make Chen Xiaozhi surrender to Guo An, they can’t reach into Guo An’s territory." Qi Yun is utterly confident in this.

In this way, even if the flames don’t reach the owner of the Ugly Group in the end, it will definitely pull Rong Jun down.

The other party is a high-level executive of the Ugly Group, and also a co-founder, the Ugly Group can’t escape unscathed.

After hearing this, surprise flashed in Liu Guangxin’s eyes.

That guy is a top wanted criminal pursued by multiple countries, besides various governments, no one knows how many people outside are searching for Chen Xiaozhi.

No one expected the former underground emperor of Cambodia to actually be in Qi Yun’s hands?

If this is the case... then the control over the whole matter will greatly increase, reducing the associated risks considerably.

Pausing for a moment, Qi Yun continued, "Actually, I personally believe that even if they deny it, it’s useless because they’ve already committed too many atrocious deeds, and the people have suffered under the Ugly Group for too long."

"We’re merely lighting the fuse; the real explosion is the gunpowder barrel they’ve accumulated themselves."

These words, someone of Liu Guangxin’s level might not deeply resonate.

But Qi Yun is different; he was once an insignificant part of that massive system, personally experienced running around beneath the scorching sun and torrential rain, only to be ruthlessly docked income due to a poor rating or delayed delivery;

He also witnessed how those small restaurant owners struggled painfully against rising platform commissions and increasingly fierce bidding rankings, eventually running a deficit and closing down in dismay.

In the past few years of its expansion, the Ugly Group pursued monopoly status and extreme profits, squeezing small vendors in merchant commissions, rider protections, big data familiarity, and even in community group buying, thus accumulating massive parental grievances.

These emotions are usually repressed, but once there’s a sufficiently legitimate, sufficiently impactful outlet for release, it will be unstoppable like a volcanic eruption.

"Alright, I also agree with your plan!"

After careful consideration, Liu Guangxin made a decision, "I’ll contact the securities firm on Hong Kong Island right now. What’s the risk capital scale you’re planning for this operation?"

"I’m all in! Six billion!" Qi Yun squinted his eyes and spoke astonishingly!

.....

Qi Yun is not proficient in stock trading, so he entrusted Liu Guangxin’s team to manage it completely.

According to their estimated time, completing the layout without alerting the opponent requires at least three trading days.

And these three days are also the preparation time for their offensive.

On the other side, the boss of Li Xiang Auto immediately received the news from Zhou Bin and his partner, learning that the plan had failed.

Inside a hotel, Li Xiang looked at the two downcast men opposite him and forcefully stubbed out the cigar in his hand into the ashtray.

"You vowed to me that it was foolproof, and what was the result?"

"How am I supposed to explain this to President Zhang?!"

Zhou Bin’s face turned ashen, his lips trembling, wanting to argue but not knowing where to start.

Li Maocai dared not even lift his head.

Their meticulously planned coup not only failed but also provided the opponent with an opportunity to expel them from Guanghui, a total defeat.

Ultimately, it was due to inadequate confidentiality measures, letting them detect the leak ahead of time which made Liu Guangxin aware.

But this couldn’t be helped. To persuade those directors, they had to divulge parts of the plan to them. With too many mouths involved, ensuring absolute secrecy was extremely difficult.

Unexpectedly, the opponent reacted so swiftly, not only gaining hold of their weaknesses in a very short time, but also counterattack them sharply. Qi Yun even managed to procure money from somewhere forcing them to sell their shares.

The current Guanghui Group is within an airtight encirclement; other top executives are either staunch supporters of Liu Guangxin or lack the power to influence, with shareholding ratios too low to exert much impact.

Li Xiang stood up irritably, pacing back and forth within the room.

The plan is completely disrupted; this means their attempt to influence or even control New Source Power through acquiring shares in Guanghui has almost been declared bankrupt before it even started.

"Alright, you two just head back." He’s completely disappointed in these two useless people, aching to see them gone even a second sooner.
