436. How about we ask the Tiangong Group for help?

Just then, Yang Zhongzhou suddenly spoke up, "Young Master, if it's the Sanhe Conglomerate, I think it's necessary for me to cooperate with you in putting on a show."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"It's simple, because Thomas and the others are currently inviting me to take action against this conglomerate together."

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun was immediately delighted.

"Interesting. I didn't expect us to have helpers. That's great; let them be our vanguard then."

"Yes, Young Master!"

The two looked at each other, the corners of their mouths turning up involuntarily.

After determining the target, Yang Zhongzhou did not hesitate and immediately contacted Thomas's small group, accepting their previous invitation.

Although they were allies now, each had their own goals.

However, the Sanhe Conglomerate was not to be underestimated, so Thomas had to extend an invitation to Yang Zhongzhou.

Meanwhile!

At the Sanhe Family's location!

"Patriarch, this is bad."

"Baka! What's with all the panic? The sky hasn't fallen yet."

Mimoto Murao's face darkened upon hearing these panicked words.

He was already in a bad mood today. Currently, the entire Sakura nation was being plundered by foreign capital, and even their Sanhe Conglomerate was being affected.

Fortunately, those fellows were quite discerning and knew to pick on the weak.

So, he was still able to maintain his composure.

"No, Patriarch, it has fallen! The sky has fallen! Colossus Group has moved against us, and they aren't the only ones.

They are launching a full-scale strike against us, and the listed companies under the conglomerate are already in chaos.

If we don't take measures quickly, I'm afraid we'll..."

Before he could finish the word 'finished', Mimoto Murao slapped him to the ground.

"Baka! You useless waste, what are you trying to say? That we're finished? If you dare say such a thing again, get out and commit seppuku, you worthless thing."

Although he was very angry, business clearly took priority.

Colossus Group was no small fry; even he didn't dare to be careless, let alone the fact that Colossus Group wasn't the only one acting against them.

Unfortunately, he had overestimated himself.

In less than half an hour, they couldn't hold the line at all, and the listed companies under the conglomerate plummeted collectively.

That wasn't even the most lethal part. Yang Zhongzhou was not only shorting them on the stock market but was also secretly contacting their shareholders to buy up their shares at twenty percent above market price.

The core industries, in particular, were the primary focus.

Not only that, but he also had the Dark Web spread rumors across the country that the Sanhe Conglomerate was unauthorizedly using deposits from Sanhe Bank to save itself.

Once this news broke, Sanhe Bank's customers collectively exploded with rage.

Those were their savings, and now they were being used without their consent. How could they tolerate this?

Instantly, the Sanhe Conglomerate was pushed to the forefront of the storm, becoming the target of public condemnation.

Though it was a rumor, who said a rumor couldn't become reality?

Mimoto Murao actually had that very intention now, but Yang Zhongzhou was one step ahead of him. Before he could even begin to use the funds, the talk was everywhere.

This made Mimoto Murao fume with rage.

Crash!

At the Sanhe Family estate!

A vase was smashed heavily onto the floor.

Looking at the furious Mimoto Murao, the people around him didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Bastards, those damned bastards! To actually block my path of retreat... Damn that Colossus Group! Everyone, speak up. What is the situation now?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, if we don't find a way soon, it won't be long before our conglomerate is dismantled."

"News has come back from Southeast Asia. Our properties there have suffered a severe blow with heavy losses.

Not only that, many of the companies' shares have been bought up."

"I've received word that Sequoia Capital sold their eight percent stake in Sanhe Bank to Colossus Group.

Coupled with the current online discourse, shareholders holding Sanhe Bank stock are reducing their holdings. Patriarch, if this continues, I'm afraid..."

The speaker didn't finish, but everyone present knew what they meant.

Mimoto Murao was well aware of the current situation, but he had no options. Although the Sanhe Conglomerate was large, it didn't mean they had much liquid capital on hand.

In terms of liquid capital, there were probably few companies in the world that could compare to Heavenly Palace Group.

Except for banks, of course, but the money in banks isn't their own.

Just like Sanhe Bank now; although they had money, they didn't dare use it.

Once used, it would easily trigger a chain reaction, which would be like playing with fire.

However, Colossus Group clearly didn't give them that chance.

Whether you use it or not, I'll spread the news first. Either way, it only benefits me and hurts you.

This led Sanhe Bank's customers to start demanding to withdraw all their deposits.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Sanhe Conglomerate.

In his desperation, Mimoto Murao had no choice but to seek help from other conglomerates.

But he was disappointed; he couldn't borrow a single cent because the others were also struggling to protect themselves and couldn't care less about them.

"Damn it, is it really over? No, these are our Sakura nation's industries; they cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."

Then, out of desperation, he went to the Central Bank.

He hoped they would lend a helping hand. However, he was being too naive. In the current situation, even the Central Bank was at its wits' end.

They were currently contacting the United States for loans; where would they get money for him?

Upon learning this result, his heart went cold. It truly felt like there was no way out.

"Sigh... Liquidate those non-essential industries. We'll only keep our core assets. That way, our pressure will be significantly reduced."

As a last resort, he could only cut off his own arm to survive.

"Patriarch, I'm afraid it's hard to handle right now. Those guys are as cunning as monkeys. They either drive the price down or don't dare to take over, fearing they'll offend Colossus Group and the others."

"Baka! Then you tell me what can be done! Are we supposed to sell to Colossus Group instead?"

Just then, someone suddenly suggested, "How about we look for Heavenly Palace Group? As long as they are willing to help us, we can definitely get through this crisis."

"Are you sure Heavenly Palace Group is willing to help us?"

"How will we know if we don't try? Besides, do you have any better ideas?"

Hearing this, Mimoto Murao raised his hand to interrupt their conversation and sighed, "Fine, go and contact them. Let's get through this crisis first before worrying about anything else."

If Heavenly Palace Group was willing to help, they could indeed weather this crisis.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. He was already prepared to pay a heavy price.

His only hope now was that the other party wouldn't take advantage of their misfortune.
