151: Chapter 151 Reaping the Bitter Fruit

The room was filled with a warm, hazy light that made the air feel exceptionally soft. On the plush bed, two people were kissing passionately.

After a moment, Su Wanqing pulled back slightly, her cheeks flushed with a faint pink, her eyes as gentle as water.

Jiang Chen could even feel a hint of moisture.

She looked up at Jiang Chen, her voice soft and gentle: "Close your eyes and wait for me for a moment; I bought some new clothes."

Jiang Chen closed his eyes upon hearing this.

He was also quite looking forward to what Su Wanqing would come out wearing.

She got up and walked slowly toward the walk-in closet, her figure graceful. In just a short while, she had changed into an incredibly seductive outfit.

The hazy, semi-transparent look was the most soul-stirring.

Every movement she made was incredibly alluring.

Paired with the look in her eyes, Jiang Chen felt like he could keep fighting.

Not just fight, but fight fiercely.

Fight until the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled.

...

After that day, three days passed quietly.

After spending time with Su Wanqing, Jiang Chen threw all his energy back into the capital markets.

The daily wealth intelligence delivered on time every day acted like the most precise capital navigation, guiding him to be invincible on the capital hunting grounds. Every move he made was steady, accurate, and ruthless.

On the first day, the intelligence locked onto a core leader in the A-share new energy sector, accurately predicting that the company would release a disruptive technological breakthrough. Combined with significant industry policy benefits, the estimated short-term return was 80%.

Jiang Chen decisively mobilized all his early-stage liquid funds to take a heavy position. The next day, the good news was officially announced, and the stock price hit the daily limit for two consecutive days. He liquidated his position and cashed out as soon as it hit the high point, making a single-day profit of 9.2 million.

On the second day, the intelligence pointed toward the ownership of a foreclosed office building in the core business district of the city center, clearly stating that the area was about to be planned as a new city landmark, giving the asset massive appreciation potential.

It was being urgently disposed of at a 50% discount. With an estimated return of 70%, Jiang Chen quickly participated in the auction and successfully secured the high-quality office building's ownership. Just one day later, it was taken over at a high price by a large investment company, netting him 6.8 million in profit and completely filling his cash flow.

On the third day, the intelligence focused on high-quality US-listed Chinese tech stocks, accurately predicting that the company's quarterly financial report would far exceed market expectations, leading to a significant surge in stock price with an estimated return of 60%.

Jiang Chen precisely built a position through a cross-border account. After the financial report was released, the stock price soared vertically. He cashed out and left the market that same day, raking in 12.6 million.

Including the previously retained liquid funds, in just three short days, Jiang Chen's cumulative earnings through precise arbitrage exceeded 28 million.

Holding abundant cash flow, plus the many fixed assets under his name...

He had already made a name for himself in the capital market, becoming a rising force that could not be underestimated.

And all of this was merely paving the way for today's real chess game.

On the fourth day, the early morning sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the living room. Jiang Chen sat at his desk in simple loungewear, his expression calm.

The operations of the first three days were just the appetizers.

At 9:30 AM, his phone rang on time, the name "Leng Yue" flashing on the screen.

Jiang Chen answered composedly, his tone flat.

"Mr. Jiang, the bounty review for the wanted criminal has all passed, and the process is complete. The 8.6 million bounty we agreed upon will be transferred in full to your designated account before 3:00 PM today. Please check for it."

Leng Yue's voice was crisp and efficient.

"The successful resolution of this case was largely due to the clues you provided. If there's anything else we need cooperation with, I'll contact you anytime."

"Understood, thank you."

Jiang Chen's tone remained unruffled.

The arrival of the 8.6 million was the icing on the cake, further replenishing the acquisition fund pool and allowing the next move on the chessboard to be played with even more composure.

Hanging up the phone, he slowly opened the daily wealth intelligence on his phone.

The pushes from the previous three days were all short-term arbitrage, but what appeared on the screen today was the core target he had been waiting for and was determined to obtain.

Wantai Real Estate.

This company, which once had a market value of 1.8 billion and a significant reputation in the local real estate industry, was now teetering.

Core projects had failed one after another, and its cash flow had completely dried up. It was now on the edge of the cliff of bankruptcy and liquidation.

On the screen, the intelligence regarding Wantai Real Estate was concise, with every word pointing precisely to the optimal time for harvesting.

[daily wealth intelligence]

[Corporate Status]: Wantai Real Estate has long engaged in blind expansion, frantically taking on debt to bet on overseas cultural and tourism real estate projects. Unexpectedly, it encountered a total ban by local policies and a complete market shutdown. The 800 million in initial investment was entirely trapped with no way to recover a single cent, directly breaching the group's capital defense line.

Compounded by maturing domestic bank loans, supplier construction arrears, and the concentrated repayment of principal and interest on private financing, the group's cash flow has completely dried up. Available funds on the books are less than a million, and it is fully insolvent.

All core land parcels, buildings under construction, and commercial complexes under its banner have been sequentially seized and frozen by banks and courts, with assets fully mortgaged.

The senior management team has collectively resigned and fled, and employees have left in large numbers due to unpaid wages, leaving company operations completely paralyzed. The stock price in the secondary market has hit the daily limit down for twenty consecutive days, with market value plummeting from 1.8 billion to 180 million.

Countless suppliers, creditors, and property owners are besieging the company headquarters with constant protests. Relevant departments have intervened for investigation, and bankruptcy liquidation procedures could start at any time. It is completely beyond saving.

[Acquirable High-Quality Assets]: To repay maturing bank interest and avoid immediate liquidation, Wantai is forced to sell the permanent operating rights of its shops in ten core business districts at a low price.

This is currently the only asset of Wantai that can generate stable cash flow, with lucrative annual rental income. Due to the urgency for cash, the package price is only 32 million, far below the market valuation of 60 million.

At the same time, the 100% equity of Wantai Commercial Management is being sold by all shareholders. All minority shareholders are eager to cash out and escape. The overall package price is only 15 million, a historic low.

[Asset Qualification]: The ownership of both assets is clear, without any legal disputes or mortgage defects. Ownership transfer and settlement can be handled directly, making it a zero-risk acquisition.

[Precise Earnings Estimate]: After acquiring the operating rights of the shops in the ten business districts, integrating and optimizing operations can lead to a transfer to a top national commercial operations group within five months, with an estimated profit of 38 million.

After a full acquisition of Wantai Commercial Management, stripping away bad assets and restructuring the operational system, selling the equity separately is estimated to yield a profit of 24 million.

The two operations combined will yield a total risk-free profit of 62 million, while simultaneously devouring all of Wantai's remaining high-quality assets, becoming the final straw that breaks its back.

Jiang Chen finished reading word by word, his fingertips lightly tapping the desk, a barely perceptible sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

The once insufferably arrogant chairman of Wantai Real Estate, Zhou Wanquan, had now fallen to the point of selling off his last family assets to survive. He could blame no one else; it was purely a case of reaping what he sowed.

And he would easily harvest this round with an absolute, crushing capital stance.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen picked up his phone and dialed Shen Xi's number.

Shen Xi, the future Chief Operating Officer of Chenxing Capital, had excellent professional qualities and acted with meticulous decisiveness. He felt most at ease having her manage this round of acquisitions.

It was worth mentioning that the office renovation for Chenxing Capital had entered the final stages and would be officially ready for use in another week.

At that time, he would officially raise his flag on his own commercial map.

The call was answered almost instantly.

Shen Xi's steady and efficient voice came from the other end, without any redundant pleasantries, perfectly concise: "President Jiang, please give your instructions."
