?Mobile reading Qin Shi Building, the top-floor chairman's office. Eight Zero E-book (txt02.com) "Hmm, what's the point?" Qin Feng still maintained his carefree expression. "No matter how much they jump around, in the end they'll just end up as little clowns. Their allies may appear solid as a rock, but in reality, each one has his own agenda—how would anyone willingly give their time and effort without any benefit?" Mei Hui was momentarily stunned, but soon, with her sharp intelligence, she grasped the point and asked, "So you're saying their next move is a hostile takeover of ours?" Qin, the young executive, tapped his finger lightly and smiled. "Exactly. Otherwise, why would they keep pressuring our stock price down? Their goal is clear—they want to acquire our shares when the price is at its lowest. Watch this—after this storm passes, the shareholders of Qin Group will surely be reshuffled." "Then what should we do?" the beautiful CEO grew increasingly concerned about the company's future. "Just serve it cold!" Qin Fengshou extended his hand, grasped her slender waist firmly, and settled her onto his legs, saying, "As long as we stay put, the company will remain ours. The final outcome will merely involve a few new shareholders—no real impact on decision-making power." Since acquiring an additional 18% of the company's shares from Li Changgui last time, Qin Fengshou now holds over 43%. Adding Mei Hui's 3% and Hou Bao's 5%, their combined stake reaches 51%, making it impossible for anyone to challenge their control. The beautiful CEO brightened: "Why don't we also seize the opportunity to acquire a substantial block of shares now? This is truly a golden moment!" Of course, failing to act on such a promising opportunity would be a great disappointment to both the nation and the party. Moreover, the world-leading automotive manufacturer, which is about to become a strategic partner, won't want to miss this chance either. It's quite common in business for partners to hold each other's shares. With their strong involvement, those who were counting on taking advantage of the situation will surely be disappointed. After receiving the last call, Fang Fang sighed and said as she walked over, "We're nearly at the point where everyone is anxious and uneasy. I've told both of you leaders—surely, if you're going to play your part, shouldn't you make it more convincing? Otherwise, your opponents will easily detect the signs." Qin Feng was surprised to see his beautiful assistant, who had only been working at the headquarters for a few days, already analyzing the situation so thoroughly. Mei Hui smiled and said, "Now you see how impressive the chairman really is. My eyes have always been sharp. Fang Fang is truly like a raw gem—unpolished, but with great potential. With just a little nurturing, she'll be able to stand on her own." Fang Fang blushed and said, "Hui姐, you're being so kind to me. I'm not as good as you're saying." "Heh, whether you're good or not doesn't matter. What matters is that both of you are my Qin Feng's women!" Qin Dashi extended his other arm and, without hesitation, carried Fang Fang over. Now fully embraced on both sides, she felt most comfortable. At this point, Fang, once so shy, had grown accustomed to the intimate gestures during gatherings of just the three of them. She had made a very sound point: if the other party wished to see Qin Group fall into disarray, then fine—give them the pleasure of watching the show. In the top-floor reception room of Xingda Group, several plump executives gathered, among them Huang Xiaozi's father, Huang Shiren. He was the driving force behind the campaign against Qin Group and the hands-on executor of its initiatives. Huang had been chosen to lead the effort because his industries overlapped significantly with Qin Group's, making it easier to target. One of the executives was sent by Wu Dong. He expressed genuine admiration for the actions of the other business leaders and, on behalf of Wu's secretary, presented numerous blank checks. Huang, the plump one, was smiling so broadly that his mouth nearly reached his ears, saying, "This is what we should do. Once you return, Director Chen, please tell Secretary Wu that Qin Group is about to collapse—our acquisition preparations are already well underway." Director Chen chuckled, "Secretary Wu will surely remember all of this. Then, please help us push things even further—let’s completely dismantle Qin Group." Not only these individuals, but the key players behind Wu Dong’s team were also ready to acquire Qin Group—this had always been their original intention. Constant news flowed in, and the group couldn’t stop smiling—Qin Group was now in disarray, from top to bottom, with widespread panic. Employees were disengaged from their work, and executives were visibly anxious. Three days later, Huang felt the timing was ripe and confidently began his acquisition drive. But he soon discovered a problem—someone had already started earlier, and in fact, more than one person had! Based on years of hands-on experience in the stock market, he keenly observed that three powerful forces were now vying for control of Qin Group's shares. Qin's shareholders had also become highly desirable, with several already completing share transfers. Huang, however, faced a particularly heartbreaking situation—despite being the weakest among the three, his own strength was still outmatched by the others. What on earth is going on? Moreover, Qin Feng, the holder of the largest shareholding, showed no signs of selling off his stakes and remained firmly seated as chairman. Soon, he received calls from several partners, asking why they were unable to secure shares in the Qin Group. Among the three forces, the strongest belonged to the world's leading automotive manufacturer, followed by Shengmen—a force that had remained largely hidden until now. The third force was a joint effort by Qin Feng and Mei Hui, who acquired shares in their own company, effectively securing their advantage as the closest neighbors. Under these circumstances, how could Huang possibly succeed? Just when they were at a loss, the leading automaker fulfilled its initial acquisition expectations, announcing to the world that negotiations with Qin Group had been successfully concluded, with their collaboration set to launch immediately. Shareholders who had previously celebrated the successful sale of their stakes now found themselves stunned. Qin Group's stock price surged to its daily limit within just one hour.
