Chapter 420: The Divine Move

"Back then, FaceWeb also tried to leverage its user base to issue a cryptocurrency, only to be crushed by Uncle Sam.
But we're different! Fanghuan Coin had a broad user base from the start.
And globally, its user base is exploding!"
Most importantly, Fanghuan Coin's meteoric start was nothing short of legendary.
It was born under the guise of relief, distributing billions to bail out cryptocurrency refugees.
This move immediately placed Fanghuan Coin on the moral high ground, instantly capturing public support.
"This move was absolutely brilliant!
From the very beginning, Chairman Su used 'public opinion' as a shield, blocking any possibility of Uncle Sam intervening!
Now, with Wall Street capital heavily invested, forming a community of shared interests, Uncle Sam dares not act rashly!"
The Luna Coin incident has already wiped out over 40 billion US dollars, leaving the world in despair.
If Uncle Sam dared to forcibly regulate Fanghuan Coin at this point, firstly, Wall Street, which had invested heavily, would not allow it;
secondly, if Fanghuan Coin really collapsed, hundreds of billions of dollars would vanish into thin air, and no one could clean up that mess.
“To sum it up in one sentence,” Lin Fan concluded,
“Fanghuan Coin, from the moment it was born, was a divine move orchestrated by Chairman Su!”
“For…acquiring FaceWeb?”
“That’s right! Acquiring FaceWeb would allow Fanghuan Coin’s ecosystem to expand infinitely!
Faced with such enormous profits, Wall Street had no reason not to help Chairman Su!
To break through FaceWeb’s impenetrable defenses, Chairman Su saw from the very beginning that one and only, and most incredible, path to victory!”
After hearing this, Huang Fengwen felt every pore on his body explode!
This…what a terrifying calculation! What an astonishing plan!
Is this the legendary divine move?
FaceWeb would probably never have imagined that Su Hao, that unbelievably young Easterner, had laid out such a grand and far-reaching plan so long ago!
And now, that "divine move" fallen to earth, carrying overwhelming killing intent, is launching its final assault on FaceWeb, the former dragon!

"Hao, I have something to tell you!"
Huang Fengwen burst into Su Hao's office, plopped down on the sofa, and wore a complex expression of exhaustion and excitement.
"I just got back from outside. I met with the CEO of Xia Lian Group."
Su Hao looked up from a pile of staggering data charts and said,
"Hey, Brother Huang, I remember you were drinking with several other bigwigs from various groups yesterday?"
"Of course!" Huang Fengwen slapped his thigh, his expression a mix of smugness and exasperation.
"Now, the line to see me stretches from my office door to the Huangpu River! In the entire business world, who isn't practically begging to see us?"
Su Hao knew perfectly well that Huang Fengwen's visit wasn't just to boast about his current popularity.
This commotion meant something was definitely up.
As expected, Huang Fengwen's expression instantly turned serious. He leaned forward and lowered his voice:
"It's about that... natural gas. The price you set is too..."
"Too high?"
"High? More than high!" Huang Fengwen's brows furrowed deeply.
"It's terribly high! We quoted those bastards in the European Union an eleven-fold exorbitant price, you know that.
The problem is, this move has had a huge impact, like a global earthquake, the aftershocks have even shaken us domestically.
This will not only cripple the European economy on the spot, but also send our domestic companies that rely on the European supply chain to the ICU!
Now, not only are the Europeans screaming in pain, but our domestic bigwigs are also restless, each one as anxious as ants on a hot plate."
This situation was entirely within Su Hao's expectations.
What does it mean to raise the price of natural gas eleven times?
This isn't just cutting flesh; it's tearing the bone out!
If Europe's industrial system can survive even one more day, it's a miracle.
And domestic companies heavily reliant on European supply chains will inevitably be half-dead by this massive wave.
"So now, those group CEOs are lining up to come to me, begging and pleading, practically begging for my life,"
Huang Fengwen described vividly.
"They said that if this price is implemented, a huge number of domestic companies will be wiped out, and those companies with ties to Europe will also be finished. This… the impact is truly beyond imagination."
To be honest, even he had some reservations when Su Hao finalized this eleven-fold price.
But there was no way around it; his intuition was just that strong, as if a voice from the depths of his soul told him that this was the price.
“Those bosses practically swore to the heavens that they'd do anything to lower the price.
Just now, Qin Han from Jiangjin Group also called personally, subtly asking if he could persuade you…”
“Qin Han? Why didn’t he come directly to me, instead of bothering you?” Su Hao was a little puzzled.
“Hehe, you’re still playing dumb!” Huang Fengwen chuckled, his smile like that of an old fox.
“Those old foxes are all shrewd. They’re watching your every move!
Who would dare to come directly to you and interfere with your decisions?
Wouldn’t that be suicide? If they offended someone as powerful as you, who could bear the consequences?”
“Is that how they perceive me?” Su Hao rubbed his nose, feeling a little wronged.
He thought to himself that he looked quite kind, so how come his reputation outside was almost as bad as that of the King of Hell?
"Come on," Huang Fengwen saw right through him.
"In their eyes, you're the ultimate demon king—the kind who can cause stock market crashes with a single word and make Europe tremble with a stomp of his foot.
Think about it, even the usually arrogant Qin Han has to go to great lengths to relay messages; not to mention how timid everyone else is."
Well, it seems he can't shake off this "man-eating demon king" image.
Unbeknownst to many, the six characters "Fang Huan Invests in Su Hao" had become an unspeakable taboo in the business world.
"Alright, you discuss this with Lin Fan and see what to say.
After all, if we take down all the domestic companies in one fell swoop, there will be a lot of complaints, and it will be difficult for us.
Of course, I'm just a messenger; I'm definitely not forcing you!"
Huang Fengwen stood up, patted his pants,
"The final decision is entirely up to you.
I, Huang Fengwen, will steadfastly follow Su Hao's path for the rest of my life.
Alright, that's all for now. I have another meeting, I'm leaving!"
Before he even sat down properly, Huang Fengwen was already out like a gust of wind.
