98: Chapter 97 You'll feel it's worth every penny, and you won't believe it.

"Lin Feng, you're too shrewd. You're even trying to swindle money out of this?"

"Can't help it, I'm broke... Plus, this is within the rules. I am your client, after all."

"If I need your analysts to provide intelligence, do I have to pay?"

"Let's put it this way: to get a pointer from the Stock God Buffett, a single word of his costs tens of millions."

Lin Feng spread his hands, wearing an expression that said it was only natural.

"You think you can compare to Buffett?"

"Why not? He's just got a wider network, more money, and a deeper understanding of the global landscape, that's all."

"That's all... You've got quite the ego."

Wang Lingling sneered. Lin Feng was indeed a bit strange and inscrutable,

but his ego was too big; he didn't even hold the Stock God in high regard.

"Fine. You want a consultation fee? How much? Name your price."

"Ten million."

"What? Ten million? Who do you think you are?"

"Who I am isn't important. If you're willing to pay ten million, I'll certainly make you feel it's worth more than the price."

"But if Miss Wang feels I'm not worth this price, then forget it. I won't force it."

"If it weren't for Wang Jun, I'd be charging a stranger 30 million."

Wang Lingling flushed bright red; she just couldn't stand Lin Feng being so smug.

"Fine, I'll pay you."

"Then what if what you say turns out to be inaccurate?"

"If it's inaccurate, it just means my skills aren't up to par, but the money definitely won't be refunded."

"Are the investment plans provided by your analysts 100% accurate?"

"Refunding money if you're wrong... that doesn't seem to be the industry standard either."

"You... fine, I'll pay. I'll just see how long you can keep up this act."

Lin Feng wasn't putting on an act for the sake of it; only by increasing his own value would Wang Jun have an easier time at Wansheng Group.

Once he took the seat of Group Chairman, it would also be a massive help to him.

"Hello, is this Finance? Help me transfer 10 million to the designated account."

A few minutes after hanging up, Lin Feng's phone vibrated.

He picked it up and checked; sure enough, he had received the 10 million transfer.

Damn it...

Is this the confidence of a listed company?

Ten million—even for him right now, he'd probably need over half a year to earn that.

"Mr. Lin, my daughter has already paid you. I'd like to see what kind of explanation you can come up with."

"Take someone's money, solve their problems."

"Rongcheng Beer's stock price skyrocketed ever since it was revealed that they obtained the patent for a curative Hepatitis B vaccine."

"All sectors of society, especially institutions, are chasing it fiercely. That is the reason for the recent surge."

"In reality, who actually knows the specifics of their R&D situation?"

"Mr. Lin, I found an internal staff member. That person is from the R&D team."

[Intelligence Target: Wang Sheng.]

...

Seeing the hidden intelligence appear above his head, Lin Feng was speechless.

This grandson was using intelligence to chase Liu Yan while not forgetting to make some money on the side.

He really had guts. If Liu Yan went bankrupt, she might not be able to do anything to him.

But if Wang Lingling lost 50 million, it would cost him his life.

"Internal staff? Miss Liu, don't you have any judgment of your own?"

"Born into a merchant family, and you still believe this kind of nonsense?"

"Why wouldn't the person selling you the internal data make the money themselves?"

"This is the simplest logic. This wave is being harvested by capital in the background."

Wang Ling was left speechless.

"Furthermore, this brewery has made bold claims that once the vaccine hits the market, they will transform into a top-tier pharmaceutical group in China."

"Do you think that's reliable? A cross-industry transformation relying on just one vaccine?"

"Moreover, I checked. There is very little detailed data on this so-called curative Hepatitis B vaccine; most of it is just rumor."

"That's just because the confidentiality work is well done."

"Really well done? If it were done that well, could there still be so many rumors flying around outside?"

"Someone is manipulating the narrative. The so-called third clinical trial exists, but it is bound to fail. When that time comes, you will all be leeks waiting to be harvested."

"Lin Feng, is that all?"

Wang Ru glanced at him, her face ashen.

These few sentences were just empty platitudes, yet this kid had the nerve to ask for 10 million. It was clearly extortion.

"There's one last thing: liquidate your positions within two days. Bring the risk down to zero, and naturally, there will be no risk."

"But if you have money to burn, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he raised his glass and smiled. "Business is done, we can continue drinking. Elder Wang, I'd like to toast you."

Elder Wang nodded, clinked glasses with Lin Feng, and drank it all in one gulp.

This scene left Wang Ru and Wang Lingling stunned.

Elder Wang wasn't actually angry. Could it be that he also agreed with what Lin Feng said?

Wang Jun and Wang Jianyun had been very nervous the whole time.

It wasn't until the two clinked glasses that they breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts began to race with excitement.

They knew Elder Wang too well; this was a basic acknowledgment of Lin Feng. At the very least, his analysis just now had some real value.

"Lingling, the financial industry changes in the blink of an eye. There is no such thing as guaranteed inside information."

"You need to be more humble. The knowledge you learned in school isn't necessarily useful in real-world combat."

Elder Wang stood up, picked up his cane, and gave Lin Feng a meaningful look. His tone was gentle as he said, "Xiao Lin, you are very talented. In the future, if Wang Jun goes down the wrong path, for the sake of being his classmate, I hope you can offer him a reminder or two."

"Rest assured, Elder, we have a very good relationship."

"You young people continue eating; I'm going to rest."

After Elder Wang left, Lin Feng also stood up to leave.

Wang Jianyun and Wang Jun hurriedly stood up and rushed to see Lin Feng out.

Wang Ru snapped out of her shock, feeling a bit panicked.

Lin Feng had spouted off and made wild claims at the family banquet.

According to Elder Wang's temper, he should definitely be unhappy.

But his reaction just now was very unusual; he even entrusted Lin Feng to look after Wang Jun.

"Daughter, could this matter..."

"Mom, you don't need to worry about my affairs."

"At the very least, the overall trend of this stock is still rising right now. I don't believe it will really fall in two days."

"Furthermore, the stock he is heavily invested in is still fluctuating at a low level."

"The source of this intelligence is very accurate. I have confidence."

"Are you really certain?"

"Mom, just stop worrying about it. I will use my own methods to defeat Wang Jun. As for Lin Feng, the outcome isn't decided yet. Just calm down and don't do anything stupid on your own."

"If Grandfather finds out, both you and I will be in trouble. Don't drag me down with you."

"You... Lingling, come back."

Wang Lingling refused to believe it; she wouldn't give up until she reached the Yellow River.

Wang Ru was so angry she was trembling all over. Her daughter was too proud and didn't want to resort to schemes and tricks.

But she knew very well that relying on her own power, her daughter was no match for Wang Jun and his father.

What's more, a Lin Feng had popped up now. She even suspected that the death of Wang Jiancheng had something to do with this person, but she couldn't find any evidence at all.

"Damn it, Lin Feng, just you wait. When your account gets liquidated and my Rongcheng Beer skyrockets, there will be a time for you to cry."

Wang Lingling firmly believed that her choice couldn't be wrong.

Lin Feng was absolutely talking nonsense, deliberately showing off in front of Elder Wang.
