Chapter 139: Eternal Enemies?

According to Qin Han's initial plan, he intended to use all resources and power to crush Fanghuan Investment from all angles, leaving no room for error!
He wanted to completely crush this thorn in his side, utterly destroying it!
From regulatory authorities to the media, he had already made arrangements at every point, awaiting only his order.
With the power of Jiangjin Group, crushing a private equity firm would be a piece of cake.
However, the tragedy of Changqing Group was still fresh in his mind, forcing him to be vigilant.
Rumor had it that the mastermind behind Fanghuan Investment had meticulously laid a trap, designing a series of interconnected schemes, long before the internal strife erupted at Changqing Group.
Ultimately, Fanghuan Investment leveraged a mere 2 billion yuan to control assets worth tens of billions.
They staged a dramatic scene of an ant swallowing an elephant, pushing the behemoth Changqing Group to the brink of collapse, leaving it barely clinging to life.
Immediately afterward, Qin Han witnessed firsthand how Fang Huan Investment had extorted a staggering 20 billion yuan from Jiang Jin Group!
Such ruthless methods and deep-seated motives from an opponent were truly terrifying to contemplate.
If they couldn't be decisively eliminated, they would undoubtedly cause endless trouble in the future!
Thinking this, Qin Han hesitated.
Therefore, he decided to meet with Huang Fengwen first to assess the opponent's strength before taking action.
"Chairman, everything is in place. We can act at your command."
The secretary, who had been waiting outside, entered and reported in a low voice.
"No… wait and see." He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to halt their actions.
He couldn't forget Su Hao's look.
The moment Su Hao answered "yes" when he asked if Kintetsu bonds could make money!
The fleeting glint in his eyes, a light that seemed to pierce the future, was deeply imprinted in Qin Han's mind, lingering there.
No one could possess such a gaze without absolute certainty!
That level of confidence couldn't be feigned.
Su Hao must possess some unknown secret, or some…extraordinary ability!
Moreover, he was a ruthless character who could accurately predict and decisively short-sell before Jiang Jin Group even discovered the battery problem!
How could he be an ordinary person!
Thinking this, the anger in Qin Han's heart strangely dissipated considerably.
Replaced by a complex emotion—a mixture of amazement, curiosity, and even a hint of…a lingering apprehension.
"Notify the asset management department to transfer all of Kintetsu Group's bonds to Fanghuan Investment."
Qin Han took a deep breath and issued a new order.
"Also, investigate immediately! Besides us, which other funds or institutions hold Kintetsu Group's corporate bonds? Do everything you can to acquire as much as possible!
Then, dig up every single piece of information about Kintetsu Group, including that Kumamoto project!"
A bold idea suddenly popped into Qin Han's mind.
What if your opponent…
truly possessed that almost prophetic, prescient analytical and predictive ability…
He's an monstrous genius!
So, are you really going to make someone like that your mortal enemy?
If that's really the case.....
That's fucking ridiculous!
What kind of enemy are we talking about?!
What do I have to do with money?!
I'll definitely latch onto your coattails!
Let's make a fortune together!
Damn it!
Isn't that amazing?!

"President Su! I've really used every ounce of my strength I could muster, I've scrambled everything I could for you!"
Liu Bo, his face contorted with despair, said,
"The short-term bonds from Kintetsu Corporation that we could scavenge on the market, all in all, amount to only about 5 billion. Adding the 10 billion transferred to us by Jiangjin Group, it's only 15 billion in total."
"I remember Kintetsu Group issued a full 50 billion in short-term corporate bonds, didn't they? How come we only received 15 billion?"
"It's like this, Mr. Su," Liu Bo quickly reported,
"It's not just us buying up these bonds; Jiangjin Group got involved too!
Their group and its subsidiaries are working at full speed, like a locust swarm!
They're buying up everything without regard to cost! If we hadn't acted quickly, we probably wouldn't even have gotten a drop!"
Jiangjin Group?
Su Hao's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
This script...something's not right!
"Didn't Jiangjin Group just transfer their 10 billion yuan in corporate bonds to us?
Why are they getting involved again now? Are they just bored and looking for trouble?"
Su Hao was utterly baffled.
“Exactly! This is weird!”
Liu Bo was also completely bewildered, then his eyes lit up as if he'd remembered something, his gossip-loving nature igniting:
“Hey, Mr. Su, didn’t you meet with the chairman of Jiangjin Group with our Chairman Huang last time?
Could it be… that you let something slip back then?”
Su Hao’s lips twitched, his heart skipped a beat.
Good heavens.
That day when he met Qin Han, the other man had indeed asked him if there was any potential in these Kintetsu corporate bonds.
Could it be that just because he casually said “yes,” the other man actually dared to throw in hundreds of billions of dollars without batting an eye?
This operation, even Su Hao himself found it a bit surreal.
Tsk tsk, that’s incredibly audacious!
“Well…” Su Hao had only uttered three words.
Liang Haiyuan, standing beside him, instantly understood. He glared at Liu Bo and reprimanded him:
“What are you prying about! President Su is discussing matters involving high-level secrets with the bigwigs. Is this something you can just casually discuss?
Disrespectful! Shut up and get back to work!”
“Ah, sorry, President Su, I was being nosy…” Liu Bo immediately shrank back.
At this moment, a young man timidly raised his hand:
“Um… President Su, the short-term corporate bonds we bought are about to mature.
We basically bought them at face value.
The interest on these bonds is negligible; we basically just get our principal back, and we might even lose a little after deducting fees.
What's the point?”
He mustered his courage and voiced everyone's concerns.
"Hiss—" Liang Haiyuan gasped, immediately giving him a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
"What did I just say? President Su has his own reasons for doing things!"
"How many days have you been here, kid? When has President Su ever made a losing deal?
When has he ever cared about such paltry sums?! Use your blockhead and think about it!"
The young man, his face flushed, stammered, "But...but this short-term corporate bond really doesn't make money..."
"But what a load of rubbish! That's why you're so clueless!" Liang Haiyuan wore a pained expression, as if saying, "You're hopeless."
"Why is President Su too lazy to explain in detail? Because we wouldn't understand!
Our brain capacity is nowhere near President Su's strategic brilliance and decisive wisdom!
Therefore, we must abandon our egos! Just follow orders!"
"Aha! I see!"
The other young men suddenly understood, nodding vigorously.
Their eyes, once again filled with blind admiration, now looked at Su Hao.
"Yes, yes, yes, I was narrow-minded and acted on my own initiative. Mr. Su, I apologize!!"
The guy who had been muttering earlier quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, his attitude incredibly sincere.
Su Hao silently watched Liang Haiyuan single-handedly execute the entire set of maneuvers—controlling the situation, indoctrinating, and boosting team cohesion—and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However, thanks to Liang Haiyuan, this "automatic translator" and "atmosphere-building team leader," he saved himself a lot of trouble explaining those convoluted rules.
Su Hao was responsible for flashes of inspiration and investment decisions;
Liang Haiyuan was responsible for relaying his "edicts," ensuring that these tools below him executed orders swiftly and without a word of nonsense.
This management system was characterized by its simplicity and brutality, yet its extraordinary efficiency—a true "mudslide masterpiece" in management science!
