Pay wages

Chen Xiao was stunned. “When did that happen?”

“This morning.”

“……” Chen Xiao.

“This, this sudden? They previously… No, isn’t Yan Yanyan already married?”

Yan Bingqin said, “She divorced He Desheng this morning and then married Bai Haonan.”

“Holy crap!”

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but blurt out a curse, “In this regard, you rich families really know how to play…”

Yan Bingqin was speechless. “Don’t just eat the melon, can’t you see the relationships involved here?”

Chen Xiao pouted, “What’s wrong? Isn’t it just Lan Cheng Group getting financial support to stabilize its stock price?”

Yan Bingqin said, “You know that? Then why are you so calm?”

“Hehehe…” Chen Xiao smiled. “Why shouldn’t I be calm? It’s a good thing that Bai Lancheng got financial support, isn’t it? This way, I can earn even more.”

“You… But, if that’s the case, you won’t be able to suppress Lan Cheng Group’s stock price anymore. Are you just going to watch Bai Haonan’s family company soar?”

Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly. He naturally knew what Yan Bingqin’s goal was.

Yan Yanyan marrying into the Bai family was equivalent to gaining a powerful helper, which put a lot of pressure on her.

But what did that have to do with him? It didn’t affect his ability to make money.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, “Sister Qin, for me, making money comes first, happiness second, and personal grudges… I don’t really care about them.”

“So, if you also want to take the opportunity to buy Lan Cheng Group shares, I have no objection.”

Yan Bingqin was startled. She hadn’t expected Chen Xiao, at such a young age, to be so composed and completely unswayed by provocation.

The conversation between the two fell silent.

Chen Xiao thought, if you don’t say it directly, I’ll pretend not to know. Trying to trick me? You’re still too green!

Yan Bingqin thought long and hard, realizing a problem: Chen Xiao was already in a winning position in this confrontation, the only difference being how much he would earn.

She sighed inwardly, having no choice but to humble herself.

“Chen Xiao, can you do me a favor?”

“Sure, as long as it has nothing to do with money or people, any favor is fine.”

“……” Yan Bingqin.

If it has nothing to do with money or people, then what the heck do you want me to help you with?

“It’s like this, you also know about the conflict between me and Yan Yanyan’s mother and daughter.”

“Now that Lan Cheng Group and Yan Yanyan are so deeply entangled, it will definitely pose a significant threat to my shareholding struggle in the future, so…”

Chen Xiao said, “You want me to sell a large number of Lan Cheng Group shares to suppress the stock price?”

“That’s just one of them, or you could transfer your Lan Cheng Group shares to me. Once I become a shareholder of Lan Cheng Group, I can naturally interfere with Yan Yanyan’s plans in other ways,” Yan Bingqin said.

“Alright, that saves me trouble. I’ll sell them to you at Lan Cheng Group’s highest price today.”

“……” Yan Bingqin.

“I don’t have money, but I can exchange them for shares in my subordinate companies.”

Chen Xiao was speechless. If you don’t have money, why are you talking about it? Isn’t this a waste of time?

“Oh, is that so…”

“Oh my~~”

“Sister Qin, my stomach hurts, no, no time, I’m hanging up, goodbye!”

“Beep-beep-beep-beep—”

Yan Bingqin listened to the dial tone, feeling her head buzz.

Chen Xiao hung up the phone and rolled his eyes. Seeing Lan Cheng Group’s stock price being pulled up again, he said, “Continue to sell, close the position as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Yan Bingqin called several more times, but Chen Xiao simply ignored them, then turned on airplane mode and returned to his office to smoke and enjoy the service of the two sisters.

Feeling Lin Yanran’s soft hands gently massaging his shoulders, Chen Xiao looked out at the vast Qian Lake.

Actually, Yan Bingqin’s goal was the same as his: neither of them wanted Lan Cheng Group to have an easy time.

However, that was only if it didn’t harm his own interests.

Otherwise, even the King of Heaven coming down wouldn’t work.

Moreover, selling shares was just the first step; the main goal was to make money.

Annoying Lan Cheng Group could wait until the money was in hand.

Such a large listed group, trying to bring it down wasn’t something that could be done in one or two tries. Being able to cause some trouble for the other party was already quite good.

So, during the money-making phase, he didn’t want too many disturbances.

With the large financial support from Yan Yanyan.

Lan Cheng Group’s stock finally stabilized its decline and entered a tug-of-war phase again.

Bai Lancheng only knew how many shares Chen Xiao had bought through financing, but he didn’t know exactly how many he held.

Because the trading volume at this time had already exceeded his financing limit, the rest was probably his own capital.

The market sentiment was completely disoriented by the events of the past two days.

Some speculated that although Lan Cheng Group had stockpiled many potentially valuable land parcels, its own capital chain was in serious crisis, which led to informed parties desperately selling off shares.

Others said that someone was maliciously suppressing it, and that Lan Cheng Group’s capital chain was fine, and its ability to stabilize the current stock price proved everything.

However, pessimistic and optimistic sentiments were equally divided, and neither Chen Xiao nor Bai Lancheng could gain more retail investor support.

Chen Xiao didn’t care, as he was continuously making money, but Bai Lancheng was suffering.

By the market close in the afternoon, after several days of struggle, all of Chen Xiao’s Lan Cheng Group shares had been cashed out.

Lan Cheng Group’s stock finally stabilized due to Chen Xiao’s departure.

However, the impact on Lan Cheng Group was irreversible.

The company not only borrowed a large amount of funds but also pledged many shares.

The risk further intensified.

Most importantly, although the stock price did not decrease, this whole ordeal had pretty much exhausted market confidence.

It simply couldn’t rise to its previous expected price.

Then, the subsequent project development… would be even more difficult.

Having gone through this crisis, Bai Lancheng, who had been so spirited just a few days ago, felt as if he had aged considerably all at once.

His previously smooth plan was completely ruined.

He looked at Bai Haonan beside him; if Yan Yanyan hadn’t been there, he couldn’t have resisted beating him up again.

In the Teng Xiao Capital office building, Chen Xiao was in high spirits.

Although he didn’t sell at the absolute peak, it wasn’t far off.

After repaying the 1.239 billion yuan for the previous Jinning Pharmaceutical purchase and the 3.5 billion yuan from this financing.

Chen Xiao’s own funds became 3.961 billion yuan.

This money was entirely his own, unlike the previous 2.2 billion yuan, almost half of which came from financing.

His assets had increased several times over.

“Hahahaha, everyone has worked hard.” Chen Xiao laughed heartily, “Su Tang, it’s July 1st today, right? Pay everyone’s June salaries.”

Everyone was stunned. A company that paid last month’s salary on the first day of the month… They had never heard of it before.

Immediately, there was a cheer, and someone shouted “Long live the boss.”

Chen Xiao pressed his hands down in a calming gesture, “Calm down, calm down, everyone. Not only salaries, but also bonuses. Our company’s performance this month is good, so I’ve decided to take out 10 million yuan and distribute it as bonuses according to everyone’s performance and contributions!”

Compared to 3.961 billion yuan, 10 million yuan was like taking 1 yuan out of 396 yuan to reward employees who made money for him.

Although the proportion was not high,

the employees were dumbfounded. A company with dozens, less than a hundred people, and it wasn’t even the end of the year, yet they were giving out 10 million yuan as bonuses?

Holy cow, how much would each person get?

Teng Xiao Capital was filled with joy, and everyone was full of hope for the future.

However, the crisis at Lan Cheng Group on the other side had not ended.

A greater challenge awaited Bai Lancheng ahead.
