Cloudtop Villa.
"Mr. Li, the latest news. Jude Wang has acquired dozens of small and large enterprises. Their encirclement of us is closing in!"
Li Qingli's face darkened, but he still said, "What's the use of acquisitions? External companies won't cooperate with them."
The business world is a field of interests. No matter how fiercely Jude Wang is fighting, it won't help much. Many financial groups in Shanghai are eyeing them. Before the outcome is determined, no enterprise will rashly take sides. Apart from self - sufficiency, they can only continue to expand their acquisition strategy.
But how long can they sustain this acquisition strategy?
Will they have enough funds?
A member of the financial group was faintly worried. "Mr. Li, but it's not good for us to just sit still. After all, Jude Wang has already made many moves. If we keep not counter - attacking, others might think that Jiuzhang is afraid of them!"
"Don't be so impatient. Jude Wang is just helping us acquire enterprises for now. However," Li Qingli's eyes were gloomy. "They are really getting too arrogant."
For Jiuzhang, it was the first time to be besieged after hunting others for so long!
It was simply a great humiliation.
Li Qingli said, "Inform everyone. We'll launch promotional activities for all our industries around Jude Wang. For other industries in Shanghai, acquire the ones we should acquire and take stakes in the ones we should. It's time to give them a slap in the face and wake them up."
Originally, Li Qingli didn't plan to get actively involved and spend real money at this moment. But the other old foxes in the consortium would surely not take the lead at this crucial moment. Judging from the situation of the battle, he had no choice but to respond.
If it weren't for that stupid Ding Haoye ruining things, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation!
Li Qingli's eyes were sharp. "It seems that Ding Haoye's blade has become dull..."
"Remove Ding Haoye and transfer all the projects assigned to him to Qi Yuwu."
There were plenty of other blades!
Qi Yuwu received the call. "Really? I'll set off right away to take over."
"Oh, right. Please convey my message to Mr. Li."
He curled his lips into a smile. "I will surely do a good job!"
In the headquarters of Jude Wang at the Central Building.
Song Ya received the news that Jiuzhang had started to aggressively acquire surrounding enterprises.
Xiao Zailun said, "Mr. Song, Jiuzhang is ready to fight for real."
At the beginning, the core interest group of Jiuzhang had been waiting and watching.
They only spread rumors and let others put pressure on Jude Wang.
But now Song Ya's offensive was too fierce. Jiuzhang couldn't avoid it anymore and had to fight back.
It seemed that a great battle was about to break out.
Xiao Zailun thought.
Song Ya flipped through the roadmap of Jiuzhang's actions and said meaningfully, "The enterprises they are acquiring seem quite good."
"Are there such high - quality enterprises in Shanghai?"
Xiao Zailun was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered the legend of Zhu Ning dealing with Yaoyang in Haicheng. He then realized. "Mr. Song, you mean..."
Song Ya glanced at him. "That's exactly what you're thinking."
Xiao Zailun immediately burst into laughter. "Understood. I'll go and handle it right away!"
Soon, Xiao Zailun led his team and followed Jiuzhang's acquisition team. When the people from Jiuzhang saw Xiao Zailun coming, they were instinctively on guard, thinking that they were going to take action. But Xiao Zailun didn't even look at them. He directly threw a contract to the company's boss. "Triple the price. Come with us."
The boss:!
Jiuzhang:?!
"Xiao Zailun, you dare to take advantage of our situation!"
"What do you mean by taking advantage? I'm just competing fairly. If you're not convinced, you can make a bid too."
How could they make a bid? These crazy people were offering triple the price!
The company's boss's heart was pounding as he looked at the contract with the triple - price offer. Triple the price!
He looked up at the people from Jiuzhang and said tremblingly, "Sorry, Mr. Li. I choose Jude Wang."
The people from Jiuzhang were so angry that their faces turned black.
"Just you wait!"
They left angrily and moved on to the next target. Just as they started negotiating, they saw that annoying face of Xiao Zailun smilingly appear.
"You're interested in this company too?"
Jiuzhang:!!
After that, Jiuzhang searched for enterprises in front, and Jude Wang took them over behind. It was as if they were treated like hunting dogs!
Li Qingli was furious. He ordered them to stop the acquisitions immediately and set a trap for Jude Wang first.
The people from Jiuzhang worked hard. They specifically found shell companies and colluded to set up a trap to trick Jude Wang into making acquisitions.
But Jude Wang seemed to have a built - in lightning rod. They recognized the trap at a glance and clapped their hands at Jiuzhang instead. "Then you guys keep at it. We don't want it."
Li Qingli suddenly suspected that there was a traitor inside.
After much thought, he decided to hand the matter over to Qi Yuwu. The implication of promoting him in his words was self - evident.
The young man looked touched and repeatedly said that it was right to entrust this matter to him.
"Mr. Li, don't worry. I will surely catch that double - dealing guy and atone for my mistake!"
Ding Haoye, who had been waiting outside for an opportunity to reconnect with Jiuzhang, suddenly felt a chill down his back.
What, what's going on? Why did it get cold so quickly?
The fierce battle between Jiuzhang and Jude Wang provided endless topics for numerous newspapers and media.
Chi Wangjue of Wangyin even received several calls from Jiuzhang, asking them to stop the flow of information about Jiuzhang's failures.
Chi Wangjue said "Okay, okay" to each call, but he couldn't fulfill any of the requests.
Although he was the nominal general manager, he had no real power. The core departments were all under the control of Chi Wangnian. Moreover, recently, Pei Jin from the capital had been constantly giving orders and specifically named Chi Wangnian to handle them. His influence in the company had further increased.
Chi Wangjue was aggrieved. "Is Wangyin really going to become Chi Wangnian's domain?"
"Mr. Jue, that may not be the case." A subordinate looked mysterious. "Pei Jin's orders to that person are not out of good intentions."
Chi Wangjue frowned. "What do you mean?"
The subordinate said, "Do you know that Chi Wangnian has moved into Runyuan? Pei Jin also stays there whenever he comes to Shanghai."
Chi Wangjue's face darkened. "You mean they've already formed an alliance?"
"No, no, no."
"The important one is not them. Do you know who else lives there besides them?"
The subordinate said quietly, "Zhu Ning of Jude Wang."
"Two men and one woman. Shanghai is not Pei Jin's territory, and Chi Wangnian is tied up with work. What do you think this is for?"
It was like a bombshell. Some clues were becoming clear. Chi Wangjue said, "You mean... Pei Jin and Chi Wangnian are competing for the same woman, and Pei Jin is giving these orders to Chi Wangnian just to keep him away from Zhu Ning of Jude Wang?"
"That's right!"
Chi Wangjue suddenly burst into laughter. "Great, great. Chi Wangnian, you've really helped me a big favor this time!"
As long as he could help Pei Jin drive Chi Wangnian out of Runyuan, Pei Jin would surely owe him a favor.
Maybe Pei Jin would even support him to take over in the future!
He decided to act immediately. "Let's go see Dad now!"
In the afternoon, Chi Wangnian received a call from the family nanny, saying that Chi Wangjue had brought people to take over his house in Runyuan.
Chi Wangnian narrowed his eyes. The air pressure in the room dropped. Everyone held their breaths.
But suddenly, his fingers moved. As if he had thought of something, he let out a string of cheerful laughter.
"Haha. This stupid guy has really helped me a big favor!"
"Let him take it!"
If he didn't take it, how could he take the next step?
Chi Wangnian hung up the phone, got up and walked out. "You guys handle the rest of the work by yourselves."
He was going to prepare for moving.
