Construction Group Takes Off

A Boeing BBJ MAX7 took off from Magic City Airport, its destination: Hengdian!

At the same time!

Far away in Jiangcheng, inside the Chairman's office of Eternal Group, Yu Annian and Li Gang sat facing each other.

"Old Li, our group merger is complete, and we can resume trading tomorrow. How do you plan to handle the Lin Group in Magic City?"

Yu Annian's voice was calm, but merging two major groups was inherently a massive risk. If it weren't for Li Yi's suggestion and the fact that he was now the CEO of Heavenly Palace Media with Heavenly Palace Group as his backer...

No matter how good the relationship between the two families was, he wouldn't have agreed to merge the Yu Group with the Yongan Group. It wasn't that he didn't trust the Li father and son.

While their older generation was still around, there naturally wouldn't be any issues. But what about decades later? Once they were gone, who knew what conflicts might arise between the two families?

The reason he agreed was entirely due to the existence of Heavenly Palace Group. Furthermore, since Li Yi and Yu Weijie were both holding positions in Heavenly Palace Media, for now, the merger was indeed all benefit and no harm.

After all, the advantages were already obvious. Before the merger, the market value of both groups had doubled because of Heavenly Palace Group. With this merger, it would surely skyrocket again, making him faintly look forward to tomorrow's resumption of trading.

It was just a pity that the growth limit on the A-share market was only twenty percent. Overall, it was somewhat restrictive, but he was satisfied.

Twenty percent is twenty percent; it can still double if we wait a few more days.

Seeing him bring up the Lin Group, Li Gang smiled and picked up the teapot to pour Yu Annian a cup of tea. He then said unhurriedly, "My boy already told me that Lin Group is a task given to him by the one at Xitan Palace.

Therefore, the Magic City Lin Group must be swallowed. We wouldn't have dared to entertain any thoughts about a group with a forty-billion-yuan market value in the past, but things are different now.

With our two boys acting as a bridge, our Eternal Group can be considered connected to Heavenly Palace Group. The Lin Group naturally doesn't amount to much.

However, Xiao Yi called me last night. The meaning of the one at Xitan Palace is that the Lin Group belongs to Heavenly Palace Media."

Hearing this, Yu Annian's hand holding the teacup paused. He looked up and said, "This... Old Li, is this really that person's intention? Then what do we get?"

Li Gang had long anticipated his reaction. "Don't be anxious, let me finish. And Old Yu, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but you can't be too short-sighted. You can't just stare at immediate interests; look further ahead.

Giving the Lin Group to Heavenly Palace Media is just to let it expand rapidly.

When the time comes, he will give Xiao Yi another five percent of the shares in Heavenly Palace Media. Isn't this five percent stake better than the Lin Group?

Not only that, he will eventually list Heavenly Palace Media in the US. Heavenly Palace Group itself won't go public, but Heavenly Palace Media is a subsidiary. Guess what height its market value will reach then.

And these are just the surface-level benefits. Since he's giving Xiao Yi shares, it proves he is very satisfied with Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi's status in his heart is naturally getting higher. That is what's most important.

This way, the development of our Eternal Group will naturally be smooth sailing."

Yu Annian fell silent. Although Li Gang was right, the shares belonged to Li Yi and had nothing to do with his own son. However, if Eternal Group could achieve better development this way, it was still quite good.

Moreover, the two families were not only old family friends but were now also related by marriage. With this layer of relationship, at least there wouldn't be any problems for several decades.

As for decades later, that was too far away. Who knew what society would be like then? Perhaps in less than several decades—say, ten years—his own son might also be heavily relied upon by that person.

Furthermore, given the development speed of Heavenly Palace Group, let alone decades, he couldn't even imagine what level they would reach in ten years.

In comparison, the Lin Group was simply not worth mentioning.

With this analysis, Yu Annian suddenly felt enlightened. "Hahaha, Old Li, you're right. So when do we take action?"

"Tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll use the momentum of Eternal Group's trading resumption to launch a stock market raid on Lin Group. They certainly won't have much cash flow. To stabilize the stock price then, they'll have to borrow money from banks or others.

So, we need to make a big scene. Leave the rest to Xiao Yi."

Hearing this, Yu Annian couldn't help but rub his hands together, his face full of excitement. "Good! I've never fought such a guaranteed battle, especially against a group with a forty-billion market value.

At that time, the prestige of our Eternal Group will surely rise significantly. After this, I think we can expand out of Jiangcheng."

Hearing this, Li Gang cheerfully raised his teacup. "Exactly, that's precisely what I was thinking."

Seeing this, Yu Annian also raised his teacup to clink it against his. "Great minds think alike. I wonder where you want to develop?"

Li Gang had actually thought about this long ago. His goal was very clear: the Lingnan region.

For no other reason than it being Wang Shaojun's hometown.

"Old Yu, what do you think of Lingnan?"

Lingnan?

Hearing this answer, Yu Annian couldn't help but fall into thought. After a moment, he understood what Li Gang meant.

"Old Li, I have to say, you still have the longer vision. Lingnan it is!"

With their strategic directions aligned, the two smiled at each other.

Meanwhile, a piece of news online instantly ignited the stock market again.

But this time it wasn't the A-shares, but Singapore.

"What's the deal with this Jiangong Group? It's half-dead every day. I'm so unlucky to be heavily invested in it."

"Exactly. It was glorious for a while at least, but now it's so pathetic. It even fell by twenty percent yesterday."

"Heh, a twenty percent drop is considered good. I sold mine half an hour after the market opened. It was a straight line down; I sold at over a thirty percent drop, but then it actually pulled back. Damn it, it made me sick."

"Holy crap, this is interesting, so interesting. I want to know how many 'leeks' were washed out by yesterday's panic selling. Damn, that's impressive."

"Stop babbling. What's so interesting? Explain it clearly."

"Yeah, I got washed out yesterday. Wait, that's not right. Are you saying a drop of this magnitude was the main force shaking out the market? Are you joking? I don't believe it. This was clearly a sell-off."

"Don't believe it? Hahahaha, then let me tell you, Jiangong Group has been acquired."

"Acquired? No way, how come there was no news at all before?"

"Even if it's an acquisition, it would at most double. Nothing to get all worked up about."

"Hahahaha, you're killing me. I hope you can stay this calm and composed in a moment. What if I told you the one acquiring them is Tiangong Real Estate?"

As soon as these words came out, the forum went silent. After a long while, someone asked cautiously.

"Tiangong Real Estate? Is it that Tiangong Real Estate from Heavenly Palace Group?"
