Chapter 1342 - Boss Pei Probably Has A Backup Plan!

Lin Zhou and Lin Wan were biological siblings after all. There was no need to talk about many things.

Lin Wan knew that given Lin Zhou’s character, if this plan was not feasible, he would definitely not agree.

Lin Zhou had always been very open about business and personal affairs.

Now that Lin Zhou had agreed to it and said that he would fully promote Shenhua Real Estate’s next phase of the project, it meant that he was very optimistic about this plan. He also felt that this plan was in line with Shenhua Real Estate’s transformation that he had been promoting.

Since that was the case, there was no need to waste time talking nonsense and study the details of the cooperation.

After all, the current public opinion environment was not common. This was the popularity that Boss Pei had obtained from strategizing with the Sloth Apartments, the real estate intermediary simulator, and the exquisite publicity plan.

There was a time limit to the popularity on the internet. Even though everyone was scolding Home Corporation online badly now, coupled with other competitive companies adding insult to injury, causing the shares of Home Corporation to deteriorate, if they did nothing, this popularity might quickly subside and not be able to cause much of a stir.

Once Home Corporation survived this wave, they would do whatever they had to.

If he waited for the popularity to pass before launching this business, there would be a severe lack of attention and popularity.

Thus, he had to take advantage of this critical juncture to let everyone see the possibility of change in this industry. What’s more, it was companies with strength and reputation like Shenhua Corporation and Tengda Corporation that made a move.

That way, it would be equivalent to burning flames to make the popularity truly useful!

It had always been said that the people were the creators of history. The times created heroes, but he had to admit that sometimes, heroes would play a leading role in the trend of history.

In times of peace, large companies should bear the heavy responsibility of leading society.

However, many companies developed with good environment and support. They did not consider taking on social responsibility at all. Instead, they only wanted to continue expanding, monopolizing, and lying down to make money. They could be said to have completely taken the wrong path.

Home Corporation was a typical representative of such large companies. Lin Wan had always hated such companies.

She even felt that Shenhua Corporation had this trend and tendencies.

Thus, Lin Wan was repulsed by the idea of ‘taking over Shenhua’. On one hand, it was a conflict with her career ideals. On the other hand, she felt that Shenhua Corporation might be doing better than other companies, but there was a limit to how much better it was. She did not think that she could change everything fundamentally.

However, after working in Tengda for so long, Lin Wan’s mindset was also changing.

She felt that she could work more with Shenhua Corporation on the basis of persevering with the Tengda spirit.

On one hand, he could use Shenhua Corporation to leverage more resources to better complete his goal. On the other hand, as both parties cooperated in depth, the Tengda spirit might gradually influence Shenhua Corporation and treat its large company diseases.

Slow Movement Studio, Shenhua Real Estate, and Sloth Apartments had the same interests. They each had a certain amount of resources and quickly finalized the preliminary cooperation plan.

Some of the details had not been finalized, but these minor details did not affect the announcement of the three parties.

Lin Zhou decided to hold an emergency meeting with the higher-ups after returning to Shenhua Real Estate. After all, he had to inform them about such a huge matter.

If they really encountered a problem, this matter might be delayed slightly. However, the possibility of encountering a problem was almost zero.

There was no need for Slow Movement Studio and Sloth Apartments because their structure was different from Shenhua Real Estate. The smaller the boat, the easier it was to turn around.

In the end, the three parties decided to release a joint statement on Monday afternoon to officially announce the cooperation plan.

There would be a series of publicity activities around this plan in the future. However, that was all in the future.



At night, Meng Chang finished his work and went home happily.

The work for this month has ended perfectly.

He looked at the date. Saturday was December 1st tomorrow. He would start working on the publicity plan for the new month on Monday.

Meng Chang felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction even though he only obtained thirty thousand yuan after working for a month.

How could the knowledge that he had learnt from Boss Pei be compared to tens of thousands of yuan?

However, his cell phone rang not long after he arrived home.

It was from Fan Xiaodong.

“Brother, you’re so well-informed! You’re awesome!”

“The storm of public opinion has been brewing over the past few days. Home Corporation’s shares have already fallen by more than 13%. It’s a pity that I did not dare to empty too much back then. Until now, I’ve only earned 200,000 US dollars.”

“We’ll split the 200,000 US dollars!”

Meng Chang’s first reaction was surprise. “You earned 200,000 US dollars? You invested so much money? Or are you leveraged?”

Fan Xiaodong smiled. “Hey, isn’t that what our industry is like? The bold die of bloatedness while the timid starve. It’s meaningless to earn that little bit of profit. If you want to play, play big.”

Meng Chang was a little touched as well. Fan Xiaodong had taken a huge risk even though he had made money this time.

At that thought, he shook his head. “We can’t split the money equally. You’re the one who took the risk. You’re the one who paid for it. I only leaked the news to you. It’s not worth that much money. You should just treat me to a meal.”

Fan Xiaodong immediately said, “How can that do?”

“We’re brothers – why are you still treating me like an outsider?”

“We’ll earn money together. As long as we have similar opportunities to become rich in the future, what would a mere 100,000 US dollars count for?”

“Why, brat, you’re not trying to shake me off and monopolize everything, are you?”

Meng Chang was a little speechless. “How can that be? I don’t have the capital to monopolize everything.”

Fan Xiaodong smiled. “Isn’t that settled? You provide the news, I’ll operate the operations, and we’ll split the profits evenly. There’s nothing wrong with that. I’m not a petty person. Don’t look down on me.”

Obviously, Fan Xiaodong was so righteous partly because of his original relationship with Meng Chang and partly because he was really shocked by Meng Chang.

At that time, Meng Chang promised that he would not exceed the 15th by the end of this month. Fan Xiaodong did not believe him.

It was not that he did not believe in Meng Chang’s news. The key was that he felt that the time was too precise.

He did not expect it to be so effective in less than a week!

If Fan Xiaodong did not trust Meng Chang very much and arranged the stock to be shorted after meeting him, he would probably not be able to earn the money if he hesitated for a few days.

That also made Fan Xiaodong look at Meng Chang in a new light.

Meng Chang might be in debt now but he could really influence the stock price of a listed company with a single move. That was terrifying!

Was it important for someone like that to be in debt?

Thus, Fan Xiaodong split the money evenly, hoping that there would be no gap between him and Meng Chang.

Meng Chang would not say anything if he did not distribute the money this time. However, if he received any news later, Meng Chang might find someone else.

Fan Xiaodong was not that stupid to offend his friends and cut off his career path just for this bit of money.

Now that Meng Chang had accepted this sum of money, it meant that their alliance had been established. It was unbreakable.

Fan Xiaodong was elated. “Alright, I’ll find an opportunity to transfer the money to you after I’ve made a new two days.”

There was no limit to the amount of time they could empty the warehouses, but generally speaking, the cost of clearing the stock was calculated by the day. The longer they could borrow the shares, the higher the cost of borrowing, and the less room for profit.

Obviously, Fan Xiaodong felt that the closing down period was the perfect opportunity.

When he made the shares empty, he was at the high point of Home Corporation’s shares. Now, the shares have fallen by more than 13%. As a matter of fact, the drop in the shares was not small.

Subsequently, Home Corporation would probably not sit back and do nothing. They might do some public relations. What’s more, some retailers or organizations in the financial market might feel that Home Corporation’s shares had hit rock bottom and decided to buy some, causing the share price to rise.

If he continued to wait, even if Home Corporation’s shares remained stable, he might not be able to earn more considering the cost of borrowing.

If something went wrong and the shares of Home Corporation increased, the two hundred thousand US dollars would shrink.

Meng Chang was silent for a moment and said, “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait.”

Fan Xiaodong was stunned. “What? Do you have a back-up plan? Can you make the shares of Home Corporation fall again?”

Meng Chang shook his head. “I don’t have a backup plan, but Boss Pei… might.”

“Based on my understanding of Boss Pei, this is not the first time he’s targeting Home Corporation. I feel that it won’t end so easily this time.”

“It’s just that the stock price has fallen by 13%. It’s still too light. It doesn’t seem like Boss Pei’s style.”

Fan Xiaodong was confused. “Boss Pei’s style?”

Meng Chang explained, “Boss Pei’s style is to never show mercy to such companies. He’s as cold-hearted as winter and will definitely kill them.”

“When the ‘Safe House’ happened the last time, Boss Pei did not have enough chips in his hands, so he did not cause much damage to Home Corporation.”

“However, this time, Tengda Corporation is developing rapidly, and its strength is growing. I think Boss Pei will not let this matter end so easily.”

“So… I suggest we wait for another two weeks or at least a week.”

“If Boss Pei had other plans, he would definitely take advantage of the current popularity to give the Home Corporation a fatal blow. These plans would probably appear within two weeks. Otherwise, the popularity would pass and we would not be able to make it in time.”

“We might make a small loss if we wait, but we can still make more money if we make the right bet.”

On the other end of the line, Fan Xiaodong fell silent.

At least he had a plan and plan for Meng Chang’s previous decision.

However, the decision this time was directly based on “understanding of Boss Pei”.

It would be too unreliable based on this.

However, on further thought, Fan Xiaodong realized that the money was earned from Meng Chang’s news. Since that was the case, why not trust him more?

What’s more, he would only be waiting for a week. There would not be much risk.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll observe for another week!” Fan Xiaodong agreed readily.
