Chapter 138: Unfathomable!

“I’m just a little curious,” Qin Han said slowly, taking a sip of his drink.
“Chairman Huang has already siphoned off 20 billion from Jiang Jin. What, not enough? Now he’s shorting our Jiang Jin stock?
Frankly, isn’t that a bit too unethical?”
Huang Fengwen didn’t mince words, chuckling:
“Chairman Qin, I think this was a very well-coordinated ‘market maneuver.’
If it weren’t for you spreading the word, attracting all those ‘short squeeze funds,’ we wouldn’t have had the chance to fish in troubled waters, would we?
Speaking of which, this should be considered a ‘brilliant collaboration’ between the two sides, haha!”
Qin Han sneered:
“Brilliant collaboration? Jiang Jin didn’t gain anything. Instead, we were getting a lot of flak from outsiders, accused of deliberately setting a trap!”
"Chairman Qin, you're mistaken." Huang Fengwen met Qin Han's gaze with neither servility nor arrogance.
"As far as I know, when those 'short squeeze funds' were frantically driving up the stock price, your group took the opportunity to reduce its holdings at the high point, cashing out a large sum of money. You must have made a profit, right?
You certainly didn't lose out on that deal."
"Chairman Huang, that's a bit dangerous! If the CSRC hears you, you'll be in trouble!"
"Oh dear, look at my mouth, I misspoke!"
Huang Fengwen's face still wore that harmless smile.
"Hehe, but speaking of which, Jiangjin Group's stock price has stabilized and rebounded, hasn't it?
That's all thanks to Chairman Qin's decisive action in turning the tide!"
The atmosphere at the table instantly became somewhat subtle.
The two exchanged barbs, a silent but palpable tension filling the air.
Seemingly calm on the surface, but beneath lay a turbulent undercurrent.
“Su Hao… Mr. Su, right?” Qin Han suddenly turned his gaze to him.
“I’m very curious, Mr. Su, at such a young age, to be so trusted by Chairman Huang, you must have exceptional talent in investment?
Chairman Huang, am I right?”
Qin Han asked with a smile, his eyes like X-rays, trying to see right through Su Hao.
“Oh, Chairman Qin, you flatter me!” Huang Fengwen quickly waved his hand, but a smug expression of pride appeared on his face.
“However, speaking of Mr. Su’s investment talent, it is truly the most impressive I have ever seen! You can’t argue with that!”
“Oh! Fanghuan Investment’s quarterly financial report this time is quite impressive.
From what Chairman Huang is saying, it’s mostly thanks to Mr. Su?”
Qin Han pressed on, his gaze fixed intently on Su Hao.
"Mr. Su, could you perhaps share some insights? What's the secret to your investment success?"
Secret? What secret?
It's nothing more than that mysterious, yet unfailingly effective—intuition.
"Well… Mr. Qin, you flatter me. There's no secret, just a bit of luck."
"Oh? Is it inconvenient to talk about, or is there some exclusive algorithm you can't share? I understand. Let me ask another question."
Qin Han leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Su Hao.
"Mr. Su, are you planning to… bankrupt all the major companies in our country?"
That question was rather veiled!
Bankrupt all the major companies in the country?
What a joke!
A nameless anger surged within Su Hao, his expression instantly turning serious.
"No, Chairman Qin, you've misunderstood." Su Hao slowly raised his head, meeting Qin Han's sharp gaze, and said clearly and firmly, word by word:
"On the contrary, more than anyone else, I hope that our country's enterprises can grow strong and powerful, standing at the pinnacle of the world!
So that those foreigners who once looked down on us will be completely convinced of our worth!"
His words were spoken with unwavering conviction, even Huang Fengwen couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Qin Han seemed surprised by his reaction, pausing for a moment, staring at him intently for a few seconds.
He seemed to be trying to find some flaw in Su Hao's expression, but ultimately gave up.
"Alright, it seems I've been judging you by my own standards. I'll punish myself with a drink!"
Qin Han picked up his glass, downed it in one gulp, and didn't dwell on the matter further. Instead, he changed the subject:
"Actually, the reason I invited you two here today is to ask something else entirely.
Those corporate bonds from the Kintetsu Group, Mr. Su, what exactly is Fanghuan Investment's plan?"
Sure enough, Qin Han's main purpose today was this.
"Well..." Su Hao carefully considered his words, wondering how to explain this.
"What? This isn't convenient to say?
Mr. Su should know that Jiangjin Group still holds a considerable amount of those bonds.
They won't dare sell them without my approval."
Qin Han's words carried a hint of threat.
"That's alright. If it's inconvenient for Chairman Qin to sell, we'll naturally find another way. After all, there are many paths to Rome."
Su Hao retorted, neither too forcefully nor too softly.
"Hahaha, interesting! Young man, you have guts!"
Qin Han suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly quite impressed with Su Hao.
"Alright, for that, I'll give you face!
I'll transfer these bonds to your Huanfang Investment at the original price!
However, I only have one last question, Mr. Su, can you tell me:
Do you really think these bonds will make you money?"
Su Hao remained silent for a few seconds.
To be honest, he didn't know what was so good about these bonds, or why they could make money.
All he could rely on was that mysterious yet incredibly clear—intuition!
That intuition echoed in his mind like a divine decree: Buy it!
"Yes."
His answer was firm and unquestionable.
No further explanation, no flowery language, just one word, yet as heavy as a mountain, carrying an undeniable certainty!
Qin Han gave him a deep look and nodded:
"Okay, I understand. I'll immediately give instructions regarding the bonds and get them sorted out for you as soon as possible.
Oh dear, we were so busy chatting, the food's almost cold. Come on, let's eat!"
Su Hao and Huang Fengwen exchanged a glance. It seemed the bond issue was settled!
***
After seeing Huang Fengwen and Su Hao off, Qin Han sat alone in the empty private room, lost in thought.
That old fox, Huang Fengwen, just as his sister had said, did indeed have the face of a benevolent Buddha, shrewd and cunning.
But what truly impressed Qin Han, even made him somewhat…apprehensive, was that young man named Su Hao.
At the dinner party, although Huang Fengwen kept cracking jokes, the tension and unease between his brows didn't escape Qin Han's notice.
But Su Hao, from beginning to end, remained calm and composed, as if everything was under control.
His young face was devoid of any extraneous expression; his eyes were as calm as a bottomless well, making it impossible to discern his thoughts or sense any emotional fluctuations.
"Unfathomable!"
This was Qin Han's final assessment of Su Hao.
