I want to start a business

“Hello? Boss, Yan Zhiyuan has been in contact with his in-law, Bai Lancheng, multiple times recently, and each meeting lasted no less than two hours.”

Chen Xiao smiled faintly. Did he finally choose Lan Cheng Group?

“Very good. Continue to monitor.”

“Yes!”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao quickly reviewed all known information in his mind, then said, “Yanyu, ask Su Tang to come to my office.”

“Understood, Chairman.”

Shortly after, Su Tang arrived.

Recently, Chen Xiao’s face had always shown a hint of anxiety, but today, he finally wore that calm smile again.

Su Tang guessed that the unresolved matter had most likely reached a conclusion.

“Su Tang, call the traders and tell them to return to work immediately. Also, gather all information related to Atlantic Capital Group and Lan Cheng Group with full effort.”

“Yes!”

Su Tang turned to make the arrangements.

Chen Xiao went to Yan Bingqin’s room.

“Sister Qin, the target is confirmed. We are ready to make our move.”

“Really? I’ve been waiting for this.”

Chen Xiao smiled, “But, are you really okay with profiting from your father?”

Yan Bingqin said indifferently, “What’s the big deal? In business, there are no fathers and daughters.”

Chen Xiao nodded. This was indeed very much like Yan Bingqin.

He then, as if possessed, asked, “In business, there are no fathers and daughters, but are there husbands and wives?”

Yan Bingqin was momentarily stunned, thinking, did Chen Xiao finally get it?

“Hmm, that’s possible. Why? Do you have any ideas?”

Chen Xiao quickly waved his hand, “No, no, you’re thinking too much.”

“......” Yan Bingqin.

That morning, Wang Peng, Xiao Xu, and others quickly returned to the company.

Other traders were also on their way.

Knowing that there would be market activity, the first thing everyone did upon arriving at the company was to place their phones and other communication devices in a designated area.

Upon entering the office, everyone noticed a new face today.

Chen Xiao gave a brief introduction, then got straight to the point.

Lan Cheng Group’s stock price was relatively stable, but as Teng Xiao Capital’s funds poured in, the trend immediately rose.

Yan Bingqin was still unsure, “Chen Xiao, will Atlantic Capital Group really acquire Lan Cheng Group?”

Chen Xiao smiled, “I’m not sure either, so we can only take a gamble.”

In his heart, he had already raised the probability to 90%.

Yan Bingqin frowned. Atlantic Capital Group acquiring Lan Cheng Group was the situation she least wanted to see.

Because Yan Yanyan had already partnered with Lan Cheng Group, she probably already held a significant amount of Lan Cheng Group stock.

Yan Bingqin sighed lightly, wondering if it was good luck or foresight for the mother and daughter to have made such early arrangements. It couldn’t help but evoke some emotion.

Such things are hard to predict. If it weren’t for Dayang Group’s strange stock price movements, Chen Xiao wouldn’t have thought of this step.

In fact, it wasn’t just them who hadn’t thought of it.

Even Bai Lancheng himself hadn’t expected that Yan Zhiyuan, who was usually not on the same level, would suddenly want to invest in Lan Cheng Group.

Yan Zhiyuan was the richest man in Jinning, ranking very high nationally. Whether it was capital or connections, he was beyond compare for most people.

Bai Lancheng almost instantly kicked out Shi Zhongfu, with whom he had nearly finalized a deal, and turned his full attention to negotiating with Yan Zhiyuan.

Shi Zhongfu had suffered losses in the futures market and was now struggling in the real estate industry.

Infuriated, he had given Tong Yu a hard time.

However, although he was kicked out by Bai Lancheng, he had already connected with another line within Lan Cheng Group.

To pray for this venture’s success,

he was currently at Mount Wutai, burning incense and praying to Buddha.

......

Bai Haonan’s back straightened a bit when he saw his company’s stock begin to rise significantly.

He was no longer obsequious in front of Bai Lancheng.

Firstly, Yan Yanyan was backing him, and secondly, the stock price proved that offending Chen Xiao didn’t matter; it still rose.

“Dad, I told you that little scoundrel Chen Xiao wasn’t worth bothering about. Look at this stock price soaring, a continuous long rainbow!”

Bai Lancheng’s face was as black as a pot. He had just been severely reprimanded by Yan Zhiyuan over the phone and was now suspecting if he had deliberately leaked information and inflated the stock price because of the impending acquisition by Atlantic Capital Group.

This had caused the acquisition process to be abruptly halted.

Seeing Bai Haonan’s smug face, he finally found an outlet for his frustration.

“Someone, hold him down for me!”

Bai Haonan: “!????”

“Dad, Dad… the stock price went up, it went up, not down. Why are you hitting me?”

“You good-for-nothing! Did you leak the news? Otherwise, how could Lan Cheng Group’s stock price rise without reason?”

Bai Haonan: “I… what news? I don’t know anything!”

“Hmph! Didn’t Yan Yanyan tell you? You little brat, now you’re not only screwing over your dad, but you’re also not telling the truth! Hit him!”

“Ah—!”

......

After giving Bai Haonan a good beating, Bai Lancheng calmed down. To dispel Yan Zhiyuan’s suspicions, he had to stabilize the stock price.

He thought for a moment and called his assistant over, “Subtly leak some information to the outside world about Lan Cheng Group’s capital chain crisis.”

The assistant was startled, then immediately nodded, “Understood, Chairman.”

Shortly after, news regarding Lan Cheng Group’s severe capital chain crisis quietly appeared in the Financial section.

Lan Cheng Group’s stock price immediately dropped.

Bai Lancheng was finally satisfied. This move not only proved that the news of Atlantic Capital Group acquiring Lan Cheng Group had not been leaked, but also brought the risen stock price back down.

It was enough to dispel Yan Zhiyuan’s doubts.

Looking at Bai Haonan, who was covered in footprints and looked utterly bewildered, Bai Lancheng’s mouth twitched. He thought, did I really hit the wrong person this time?

Being able to easily reverse the company’s stock price indicated that the acquisition news had not been leaked.

“Ahem, help him up.”

Bai Haonan stood aside, somewhat afraid. He had no idea why he had been beaten, and he didn’t understand what his father was talking about regarding a leak.

“Haonan, there are two million in this card. Go abroad for a few months and then come back.”

Bai Haonan was stunned. What the hell was going on?

Just got beaten, now getting money?

And sending him abroad?

Could it be that he was afraid he’d delay Old Bai from having a second child?

“I, I’m not going…”

Bai Lancheng glared, and he quickly accepted it.

“Dad, I don’t want to go abroad. Foreign women… have rough skin…”

“......” Bai Lancheng.

“Why don’t you go to Island Nation?!”

After saying that, he felt it was inappropriate. He was truly exasperated by this useless son and added:

“I don’t care where you go, just disappear from Jinning!”

“The group is facing major changes, and I’m always uneasy with you here.”

“......” Bai Haonan.

“Dad, am I that useless in your eyes?”

Bai Lancheng nodded without hesitation.

Bai Haonan: “......”

“Alright then! Since you look down on me, I’ll leave!”

“But you think 2 million can get rid of me? At least 100 million!”

After another beating with a belt, Bai Haonan walked out of Lan Cheng Group gleefully, holding a bank card with 2.5 million in it.

“Hmph! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don’t bully a young man for being poor! Today, you all look down on me, but in three years, I will make it so that all of you can’t even reach me!”

“Hello? Dongzi, I want to start a business! Are the brothers in?”
