“You’re right. I need to adjust my strategy.” Hu Yuanyuan understood the gravity of the situation, but with Li Feng’s funds as a safety net, she was brimming with confidence.
“But…” Hu Yuanyuan’s gaze fell on the bank card on the desk, hesitating.
“But what?” Li Feng asked.
“They’ve mobilised at least a few billion to attack us. Given this scale, their financial power is immense. These two billion-plus funds can take a bite out of them, but to expand the results, it might not be enough.” Hu Yuanyuan analysed.
“Not enough funds?” Li Feng frowned.
“Yes. If they can use billions against us, that’s not their full strength. Two billion won’t cut it to take them down.” Hu Yuanyuan nodded.
“Don’t worry about the funds. I’ll handle it.” Li Feng said confidently.
“How?” Hu Yuanyuan asked curiously.
“Secret.” Li Feng replied with a smirk.
Hu Yuanyuan glared at him, dissatisfied, “If you can’t do it, forget it. We’ll strike back when the company’s stronger.”
Li Feng chuckled, “Just wait. By tomorrow at the latest, I’ll get you enough funds. But before that, you need to hold off their attack. Don’t let these two billion go to waste.”
“Hmph, you doubt my ability? Even if I can’t crush them, I can still make a big profit. You’ll get your money back in a few days.” Hu Yuanyuan huffed.
“Money?”
Li Feng wagged a finger, his eyes scanning Hu Yuanyuan as he licked his lips. “I don’t need money. I need you…”
Hu Yuanyuan’s face reddened, “Get lost.”
…
At the same time, in a skyscraper opposite Tianfu Tower, Sun Xipeng stood by a floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine, staring at Tianfu Tower with a glint of excitement in his eyes.
The one orchestrating the attack on Xiangfeng Investment’s stocks was none other than Sun Xipeng.
After being humiliated by Li Feng at Xiangfeng Investment, he wasn’t about to let it go. Someone approached him, wanting to target Li Feng, and they hit it off, planning this ambush.
Though Sun Xipeng didn’t know the person’s identity, only that he called himself Young Master Feng, he didn’t care. To get revenge on Li Feng and win Hu Yuanyuan, he was willing to take the risk.
Sun Xipeng had built Sun Corporation from scratch since he was fifteen. Over fifteen years, its assets reached two billion. But Sun Corporation mainly dealt in foreign trade, with limited cash. To attack Xiangfeng Investment, he needed substantial liquidity, and Young Master Feng provided three billion.
Even as Sun Corporation’s founder, Sun Xipeng was shocked by the three billion, enough to buy his company outright. He couldn’t help but question Young Master Feng’s identity.
But excitement soon overtook his doubts. With this capital, he could crush Xiangfeng Investment and humiliate Li Feng and Hu Yuanyuan. He knew this stock attack was just the first step.
Sun Xipeng, a seasoned businessman, wasn’t an expert in finance, but managing a stock ambush was well within his capabilities. With Young Master Feng’s massive funds, he was already in an invincible position.
Before the attack, Young Master Feng somehow nearly wiped out Xiangfeng’s investment department, making it easier to deal with Hu Yuanyuan without her key players.
Still, Sun Xipeng underestimated her. Despite his aggressive moves, she managed to stabilise Yongdu Technology’s stock price. But from the data he had on Xiangfeng, Hu Yuanyuan was at her limit.
“Hu Yuanyuan, soon you’ll be mine. Li Feng, the shame you gave me, I’ll return a hundredfold.”
Sun Xipeng smirked, picturing Hu Yuanyuan begging at his feet.
“Mr. Sun, Xiangfeng’s Xu Qing and Huangfu Wei went to the bank and securities firm again.” A young man approached Sun Xipeng, saying, “If the bank or securities firm provides funds to Xiangfeng, it could be trouble.”
“Don’t worry, it’s expected. Their plan won’t succeed.” Sun Xipeng said nonchalantly.
“But…”
“No buts. The bank and securities firm won’t release funds.” Confident in Young Master Feng’s influence, Sun Xipeng was unshaken.
By 1:00 PM, the stock market opened. Sun Xipeng arrived at Sun Corporation’s securities trading department. In an era of widespread stock trading, Sun Corporation, as a listed company, had its own trading department, though it was only a quarter the size of Xiangfeng’s, a firm specialising in financial investments.
Previously, Sun Corporation’s trading department had a one-hundred-million investment scale with fewer than five traders. For this ambush, Sun Xipeng hired over a dozen traders from a headhunting firm.
The traders were ready to strike. When Sun Xipeng appeared, he ordered, “Hit Yongdu Technology hard.”
Caught off guard by Xiangfeng that morning, the traders were eager to act. At his command, they sprang into action.
A bloodless war began.
As Sun Xipeng expected, Yongdu Technology’s stock price plummeted under their pressure. Within fifteen minutes, it fell to the previous day’s closing price.
Watching the stock chart, Sun Xipeng smiled with satisfaction.
“Bad news! They’re also selling Yongdu Technology.” A trader shouted.
Sun Xipeng sneered, “No need to panic. It’s a trap, like this morning. No creativity. They don’t have enough funds. Keep hammering it to the limit down. Let’s see what Hu Yuanyuan does.”
“Yes.”
With a flurry of keyboard clicks, Yongdu Technology’s stock continued to drop. Despite some resistance, it hit the limit down by 1:40 PM.
“Mr. Sun.” A young man rushed into the trading department, approaching Sun Xipeng, “The securities firm just informed us they’ve funded Xiangfeng to cover their position.”
“Good.”
Sun Xipeng’s eyes gleamed. With the securities firm withdrawing, Xiangfeng was as good as done. All it needed was one final push.
He walked to the window and dialled a number, “Young Master Feng, Hu Yuanyuan’s about to break. It’s your move. Don’t forget your promise.”
“Relax, Hu Yuanyuan is yours.”
