Wang Dongqing’s sharp question left Zhao Mo speechless.
He had not thought about this question before, so he did not know how to answer.
However, now that he thought about it, he definitely lacked the ability to do this.
Even though Huayin Group was huge in Huaxia, it did not have the ability to suppress Meiguon companies.
“I don’t think so.” Wang Dongqing turned around and shifted her gaze toward Zhao Mo.
“Then have you ever thought about why Lin Yi could do this?”
“There must be something fishy going on!”
“Son, if you think that way, you’re too immature. You won’t be able to support Huayin Group in the future.”
“I think that unless Lin Yi did something despicable, there is no way Muddy Waters would have changed sides.” Zhao Mo couldn’t control his emotions.
Losing to Lin Yi was still reasonable, but being rejected by his mother was something he couldn’t accept.
“I was on a business trip a few days ago, so I didn’t pay attention to these things. However, after I returned, I took a brief look at this and understood the ins and outs of the matter,” Wang Dongqing said.
“Think about it yourself. How many tricks did Lin Yi play on you throughout the entire process?”
“You can say that before the press conference, he was in a relatively passive position. Even so, it seems that he saw every one of your moves. You threw out 100 billion yuan, and he bought up more than 100 billion yuan. You went to Muddy Waters to deal him a fatal blow, but in the end, he took drastic measures to counter this. This was a real fight. How could there be anything fishy going on? Tell me.”
Upon hearing Wang Dongqing’s words, Zhao Mo came to a sudden realization.
He had underestimated Lin Yi.
“I heard some news just now. Lin Yi has teamed up with the seven major pharmaceutical companies in the world to establish a world-class drug research and development center in Zhonghai. The price of the drugs developed here can’t exceed 50% of the cost in the Huaxian market,” Wang Dongqing said.
“Moreover, Lin Yi succeeded in making them drop their prices to two-thirds of the original price. If this news is leaked, Didi’s shares will rise again. You should understand how badly you lost now, right?”
Zhao Mo’s body trembled. After hearing this news, he realized how serious the consequences of his actions were.
“Moreover, Lin Yi still has a trump card that he hasn’t used yet. You probably still don’t know about it.”
“What trump card?”
“Shen Tianzhuo!”
“The leader of the Huaxian scientists?”
“That’s right. He returned to Huaxia a few months ago and is working under Lin Yi,” Wang Dongqing said.
“If he reveals this information, Didi might become the fourth largest company after BTA. Did you investigate all of this before making a move on him?”
Wang Dongqing looked at Zhao Mo. When she spoke, her tone was questioning.
“Do you think you can defeat Soros with the help of Muddy Waters? Don’t you think you were far too simple-minded?”
“Back then, international bandits led by Soros first destroyed the Bank of Ingguo and then washed Southeast Terra with blood. Everyone thought that his scalping tactics were invincible, but no one thought that he would be defeated in Shianggang, right?”
Zhao Mo took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.
“Mom, what do we do now?”
“I’ll give you some money to buy Didi’s shares at a high price so that you can return all the stocks of the brokerage.”
“Return everything?” Zhao Mo widened his eyes and said.
“If we buy up all the stocks we owe, we’ll have to spend at least double the price!”
“I’ve spent so much effort nurturing you for so many years. Why do you still not understand yet?” Wang Dongqing asked.
“I’m really worried if you can support such a big company without the Zhao family’s background.”
“I admit that I lost to Lin Yi this time, but I don’t think that I’m weaker than him!” Zhao Mo said, “In the future, I’ll get back everything I lost from him!”
“From him?” Wang Dongqing looked at Zhao Mo and said, “Do you think a dead person will have a chance to take revenge?”
“You have to understand that you’re still standing here talking to me not because of your ability or Lin Yi’s mercy, but because of Huayin Group’s reputation!”
“If you represented an ordinary company, you would have ended up the same as Cisco.”
“Perhaps you feel that Didi’s stock value is inflated and will definitely fall back in the future, but have you ever thought about when their stock value will fall back to normal? Don’t you need to return the stocks you owe to the brokerages?
“Secondly, Lin Yi has so many trump cards up his sleeve. If releases a piece of news every once in a while, it will be enough to maintain Didi’s high share price for a long time. During this period, the dispute between Huayin and the brokerages will also surface. It will definitely cause our share price to plummet. Have you ever thought of such an outcome?”
“There’s also the most important thing. Don’t forget,” Wang Dongqing said.
“Although we’re not a state-owned company, this is our true nature. This also ensures that we can’t have any negative news circulating about us.”
“The foundation of the Zhao family is our influence in the political world. The bloodshed here is even crueler than you think. Many people are waiting to replace the Zhao family, so let’s settle this matter as soon as possible to prevent it from turning into a full-blown storm.”
Zhao Mo clenched his fists. “I understand.”
“Go on.”
Wang Dongqing waved her hand. She looked exhausted and disappointed.
What upset her the most was not her son’s failure.
Instead, it was an article on the finance website that had been retracted after an hour.
If that article was seen by an ordinary boss, it would quickly affect Huayin Group and other families.
In the end, it disappeared for no reason and was replaced by a commentary article from the Citic Group.
Without a doubt, it was Shen Shuyi who did this.
Otherwise, no one would care about such things.
However, given their relationship, she had no reason to do so.
A smart woman like her would definitely not dirty her hands like this.
Therefore, there might be another deeper reason.
If Huayin Group’s shares fell drastically because of this, Wang Dongqing would definitely get personally involved. By then, the unlucky target of her anger would be Lin Yi’s Lingyun Group.
Breaking it down like this, the situation was clear.
Shen Shuyi seemed to be on Lin Yi’s side.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as Wang Dongqing was thinking about these things, someone knocked on the office door.
“Come in.”
The person who entered was a young woman, Wang Dongqing’s secretary.
“Chairwoman Wang, we’ve investigated the incident in Beiqiao Town. The company in charge of the construction is Chaoyang Group in Zhonghai. The president of Chaoyang Group is called Ji Qingyan, and she has a close relationship with Lin Yi. They should be boyfriend and girlfriend. During our investigation, we discovered some rumors. This assistance plan seems to be led by Lingyun Group, but the credit was given to CITIC Group.”
“Alright, I understand. You can leave first.”
“Got it, Chairwoman Wang.”
The secretary turned around and left. Wang Dongqing closed her eyes and rested against her sofa.
“How did Shen Shuyi get involved with Lin Yi? It’ll be difficult to make her step back now.”
When she thought of this, Wang Dongqing picked up her phone and dialed Shen Shuyi’s number. With a beaming smile, she said,
“Sister Shen, are you free tonight? I just came back from a business trip in South Feizhou and brought you a necklace. Shall we make an appointment to meet up?”
