Securities and Futures Commission intervenes
With Young Lord Wang's background, as long as Wang Yuxin still loved him, he could walk with his head held high in Magic City from now on.
No!
It should be said that except for the Capital, he could walk with his head held high anywhere else.
Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to predict the future; otherwise, he would understand that his true base was not just domestic, but abroad.
Now, it could only be said that his Lin family's luck was insufficient, and they could not withstand this opportunity.
"Dad, you can't blame me for this. Who knew her brother was hiding so much? I'm not a fool. If I had known her brother was so powerful..."
"How could I have treated her like that? At the time, I saw she had some looks and just planned to play around. I was going to toss her aside once I got bored. Who knew it would turn out like this!"
He felt incredibly aggrieved. If your brother is so powerful, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have dared to utter a single word of dissent.
But time cannot flow backward, and there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Hearing this, Lin Yaodong couldn't help but fall silent. His son was right; he really couldn't blame him entirely. He could only blame Wang Shaojun for hiding too well.
After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed. "Sigh, even the Zheng family of Macau fell at his hands. What does our Lin Group even count for?"
"Dad, then what do we do? Are we just going to leave it to fate?"
"This Wang Shaojun is being too arrogant. Yes, his Heavenly Palace Group is very powerful, but he's been unscrupulously acquiring companies lately, and not just small ones. Is there no one who can sanction him?"
"I bet there are many people behind the scenes who have been annoyed with him for a long time, but no one dares to be the first to speak up."
"If he dares to leave us no way out, we don't have to make things easy for him either."
Lin Yaodong scoffed at these words. If only it were that simple. Unfortunately, none of the people who can grow to this level are simple characters.
Not to mention someone like Wang Shaojun. The current scale of Heavenly Palace Group is simply too large. Anyone wanting to move against him would have to think twice.
"He's not as simple as you think. The current Heavenly Palace Group isn't something that can be tripped up just by having many people. Don't look at its massive scale; it doesn't actually involve a wide range of industries."
"Another thing is, since he could acquire the Lotte Building, he must have other assets outside. This guy hides too deeply; no one knows his true depth. That is what's truly terrifying about him."
Hearing Lin Yaodong's analysis, Lin Hao suddenly sobered up quite a bit.
But the more sober he became, the more he felt Wang Shaojun's terror. Remembering what the other man had said to him in the mall earlier, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.
What did he mean? He wouldn't want his life, would he?
No, definitely not. This is Magic City, this is domestic; he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Even so, he still felt some unease. "Dad, how about we go and apologize to him? We'll give him enough face and bow our heads. He can't possibly refuse to give us a way out."
Hearing this, Lin Yaodong did not answer. Instead, he turned and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the skyscrapers outside.
He had worked hard to develop the Lin Group to its current scale. It was absolutely impossible for him to watch it fall with his own eyes.
But if Wang Shaojun really moved against the Lin Group, he knew he was no match.
So, there were only two paths before him now. Either cede territory and pay reparations—giving a portion of the Lin Group's shares to the other party as an apology.
Or find a big backer, one that would make Wang Shaojun wary. There were only two types: military or political!
But he didn't know any big shots in those fields at all. Small ones wouldn't be a deterrent, and big ones might not necessarily look twice at his Lin family.
In that case, it seemed there was only one path left to take!
Just as he was about to call Wei Jinhua to ask him to act as a middleman...
As soon as he picked up the phone, the secretary suddenly knocked and entered from outside.
"Young Master Lin!"
After greeting Lin Hao, the secretary reported to Lin Yaodong: "Chairman Lin, you asked me to keep an eye on Heavenly Palace Group's movements. I just received news that the stocks of Yuanyang Group and Tianmen Group have suddenly been suspended."
"The reasons are financial fraud and stock price manipulation, among others. Especially for Tianmen Group, people from the CSRC have already intervened in the investigation."
Hearing this, Lin Yaodong was slightly surprised. He then waved his hand to let the secretary out first.
Seeing this, the secretary knew the father and son had things to discuss and didn't forget to close the door upon leaving.
"Dad, what a great opportunity! I told you, he's so arrogant that someone above must be displeased. This time, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin."
However, as an old fox, Lin Yaodong didn't think so. It was undeniable that Heavenly Palace Group had been a bit arrogant lately, but it hadn't touched the bottom line.
Because the meat was still in the pot. But the CSRC wouldn't make such a move for no reason. Could Tianmen Group really have problems?
Financial fraud? He didn't think so.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Lin Hao. Seeing the guy's excited expression, he shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat depressed about how he had sired such a useless person.
He picked up his phone and called a business friend in Hong Kong. After understanding the sequence of events, he finally knew the ins and outs.
The Li family of Hong Kong?
It seemed like a good choice!
But eggs shouldn't be placed in one basket; he had to make two-handed preparations.
"Xiao Hao, go to Hong Kong right now. Visit Li Yangqing in the name of our Lin family. If we can get on the big ship of the Li family, perhaps we won't have to fear Wang Shaojun anymore. Remember, don't cause any more trouble for me."
"Dad, this Li family is..."
"They are the ones moving against Wang Shaojun this time."
"Understood!"
Hearing this, Lin Hao asked no more questions, nodded, and turned to leave.
Half an hour after Lin Hao left, Lin Yaodong took a document and left the Lin Group by car.
His destination was the Western Suburbs, Xitan Palace!
Meanwhile, Wang Shaojun had just given the watches to Wang Jianguo and the others. As for the group's affairs, he had naturally learned of them from Butler Wei.
But he didn't care too much. What surprised him was the next report from Butler Wei.
"Young Master, Lin Yaodong of the Lin Group is here and wishes to see you."
Lin Yaodong's arrival was indeed a surprise, but it was just a surprise. Without even thinking, he coldly spat out two words.
"Not seeing him!"
Hearing this, Li Jiawei, who was sitting opposite, was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Jianguo raising his hand. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "You don't understand the group's affairs, so don't interfere. He will handle it properly."
Li Jiawei fell silent. On second thought, she knew her son. Since he refused the meeting in such a tone, it meant the other person was not anyone good.
