Since the Mistress had given the orders, all the Hong Family members instantly dispersed. Only Hua Xiangyu was allowed to stay.
“Yes, Mistress!” The guard instantly left to bring Ye Wuyou in.
Soon, Ye Wuyou walked in slowly, dressed in handsome casual clothes. He greeted Hua Yueling. “Head of the Ye Family, Ye Wuyou, greets Mistress Hua.”
“We are on the same side, no need for the formalities,” Hua Yueling replied in an amicable manner. “For the head of the Ye Family to come at this time, I trust that you have made a decision.”
“Indeed, Mistress Hua.” Ye Wuyou did not hold back and found a place to sit down. He smiled and said, “I was still a little hesitant at first. However, after witnessing Hong Dali’s performance today, I have made my decision.”
Hong Dali sold all the good equipment so heartlessly, yet this Ye Wuyou was going to support the Hong Family because he witnessed that? What was going on?
“Great-grandmother, I don’t get it?” Hua Xiangyu stared with her wide, pretty eyes and asked, “Big Bro Dali sold all the amazing equipment, but this head of the Ye Family is choosing to support us because of that?”
“Silly child, let him explain.” Hua Yueling patted Hua Xiangyu’s head dotingly.
“This must be the little princess, Miss Hua Xiangyu, right?” Ye Wuyou looked at Hua Xiangyu and said gently, “You’re truly as pretty as the rumors say.”
“Uncle, you’re making fun of me!” Hua Xiangyu lowered her head shyly and said quietly, “You still haven’t explained it!”
“Haha, it’s quite simple, actually.” Ye Wuyou glanced around and saw nobody else present. Hua Xiangyu reassured him. “Relax, there is no surveillance equipment here.” Ye Wuyou then said, “If I didn’t do proper research on Hong Dali, I probably would’ve assumed like everyone else that this prodigal Hong Dali was an idiot for giving away all his good stuff to his enemies.”
Hua Xiangyu listened carefully.
She actually agreed fully with what Ye Wuyou said. Was Hong Dali an idiot? Definitely not.
“However, I carefully reviewed that footage of Hong Dali breaking into the Elixir Room five or six times. Then, I realized something.” Ye Wuyou smiled and said, “Hong Dali isn’t just an idiot. He’s also very smart. If anyone treats him like an idiot, they will become the idiot themselves.”
“Haha, the head of the Ye Family has very sharp eyes.” Hua Yueling praised.
“That’s why.” Ye Wuyou smiled and said, “He’s such a smart person, yet he sold off all the super-rare pieces of equipment without any hesitation. What does that mean? I think Miss Xiangyu has figured it out.”
If Hua Xiangyu still did not understand, she would be an idiot. “That means that Big Bro Dali has even better equipment!”
“Haha, Yu’er is the smartest!” Hua Yueling nodded and said, “He’s definitely holding onto something better. My sweetheart isn’t someone so mindless.”
“Hence, because of that,” Ye Wuyou said slowly, “I believe that the final victor in the duel will definitely be the head of the Hong Family! That makes my choice very simple.”
…
On the other side, in the Hong Family estate.
A strategy revolving around Hong Dali was devised a few days ago, and it was time to reap the benefits.
“Xiaoyi,” Hong Weiguo called Ling Xiaoyi, “what has Dali been up to these few days? Tell me about it.”
Ling Xiaoyi replied through the holographic projection, “Master, apart from fighting Bei Yuanqing of the Bei Family, the Young Master just bought some stocks. He hasn’t really done anything else.”
Hm, she was not aware of Hong Dali heading into the Enjoyment Dimension—of course, there wouldn’t be much use in her knowing, anyways…
“Oh? Stocks? This child Dali is buying stocks?” Hong Weiguo touched his chin and shared a look with Hong Jianye, who said quietly, “Stocks may be an opening.”
Hong Weiguo agreed and asked, “Then, Xiaoyi, what stocks did Dali buy?”
“Boyuan Inc., Blue Capital Investment, and Baotai Processing.” Ling Xiaoyi answered truthfully. Of course, she was not aware of the specific amount of shares owned by Hong Dali, as he never had the time to explain things to her.
“Okay, I understand. Xiaoyi, you can continue with your work. I’ll check out these three stocks.” Hong Weiguo nodded.
“Yes, Master.” Ling Xiaoyi hung up immediately.
“Boyuan Inc., Blue Capital Investment, and Baotai Processing.” Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, Mu Tie, and Hong Jianye started examining these three stocks closely on their stock windows.
“Boyuan Inc. is about to be forcefully delisted due to a major violation of policies.” Hong Weiguo listed the findings one by one. “Blue Capital Investment has been in the red frequently. Baotai Processing hasn’t been pulling in decent revenue for the past few years. There’s nothing special about these three stocks. They’re the kind to trap the investors. It’s understandable for Dali to purchase these if he needs to squander. However, how should we deal with this situation?”
Naturally, Hong Dali bought these stocks to squander.
However, there was no way that Hong Weiguo would just stand and watch—after all, Hong Dali had some invincible luck. Hong Weiguo was certain that these three stocks would have something special about them.
“Weiguo, I have a feeling.” Hong Jianye thought for a while. “Can these three stocks be owned by our enemies or our Hong Family’s allies? If we can use these stocks to convert our enemies into our allies or to strengthen our existing alliances…”
His idea was certainly possible. Hong Weiguo, Mu Tie, and Liu Yihui’s eyes lit up. They nodded in unison. “Possible!”
With a goal in mind, they began their search.
Soon, they had their results. They all inhaled deeply.
Actually, Hong Dali was not that magical. The three stocks had little ties to their enemies and allies, as they were all in irrelevant industries.
“That doesn’t seem right.” Hong Jianye said strangely, “I know that although Dali squanders, his luck is no joke. That can be applied to almost all his squandering ideas, why not stocks? Can we be looking in the wrong direction?”
“Perhaps, this may be the case.” Liu Yihui suddenly recalled something. “Do you remember how my Turkey Bookstore collapsed when we were back on Earth?”
“Oh yes.” Mu Tie laughed. “Who would’ve thought that Dali managed to shut down the entire Turkey Bookstore just to squander.”
“What you mean is…” Hong Weiguo instantly understood. “Our enemies’ companies are rivals with these three companies?”
“Highly likely.” Mu Tie nodded.
The four of them were not idiots. They instantly started their searches. Soon, they inhaled deeply again as the results were revealed.
The three stocks were indeed rivals against the enemies’ subsidiary companies.
Boyuan Inc. was against the Bei Family’s Star Inc. They were both real estate investment companies. Blue Capital Investment was against the Zhu Family’s Yunzhou Investment. Baotai Processing was the most interesting one. It was against the Bei Family’s lackey, Liu Mingyi’s Mingyi Mines…
“To be frank, we must admit.” Hong Jianye clicked his tongue and exclaimed, “Dali’s luck can destroy everything!”
Who would have thought that the three stocks Hong Dali randomly purchased would serve such a purpose?
“Hahahaha, seems like the strategy we have devised is very correct!” Hong Weiguo laughed. “Alright, since we are all here, we have to do something big to make our trip worthwhile! This time, we’ll start with these three stocks!”
Who were these four? Absolute commercial geniuses on Earth—alright, fine, Hong Jianye was perhaps an inept advisor.
Now that the general strategic plans were laid out, it was time to distribute the workload—it was simple. Hong Weiguo was in charge of Boyuan Inc. Mu Tie was responsible for Blue Capital Investment. Liu Yihui managed Baotai Processing. Hong Jianye would think of schemes and specific execution plans.
It was not an overstatement to say that the combination of these four was invincible in the commercial field. It probably would not take long before they caused chaos for the enemies’ businesses.
“What are you researching about? So happy?” Just as they finished designing the strategic plans, Hua Yueling’s voice was heard. She just returned from the Unsealing Convention. “Looking at your expressions, have we made some good progress?”
“Indeed, Mistress.” Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “Dali bought three stocks previously. After our detailed investigation, they are actually revealed to be the rivals against our enemies’ subsidiary companies. We plan to utilize this opportunity to destroy our enemies’ finances.”
“Oh? Is that true?” Hua Yueling’s eyes lit up and she instantly said, “Show me!”
Two minutes later, Hua Yueling exhaled deeply. “My sweetheart Dali is indeed special. Amazing! Haha, amazing!”
Since she was aware of the situation now, Hua Yueling did not hesitate. She decisively ordered, “I’ll give you a hundred billion dollars. Is that enough to play with these three companies?”
“Should be enough!” Hong Weiguo nodded. “However, there’s something else. We need to become the majority owners of these three companies. Especially this Boyuan Inc. It’s about to be delisted soon.”
“That won’t be an issue. It’s easy.” Hua Yueling said, “I’ll ask someone to make arrangements for all of you to be slotted into the company. A tiny company like Boyuan won’t dare to go against the Hong Family!”
And so, the next morning, the Shenglong Star stock market was hit with some breaking news—Boyuan Inc., which was about to be forcefully delisted, requested for a temporary trade suspension. The reason was that the company was about to undergo changes with regards to its majority shareholder. At the same time, they prepared for reorganization!
On Boyuan Inc.’s online forum.
“Breaking news, breaking news, amazing update! Boyuan Inc. is about to undergo a temporary suspension and a change in management! Temporary suspension. Hahahaha! The stock prices are about to rise through the roof!”
“What the heck, are you serious? That’s definitely great news! There’ll almost certainly be at least ten limit up price days!”
“More than ten. I think it’ll be at least twenty. Suspension and reorganization. That’s the best-case scenario possible!”
