Chapter 1361 - 1359: Someone Behind the Scenes
"Boss! What are you doing here?" Wang Ming’s eyes widened, unable to believe he’d run into Yang Chen here.Yang Chen had already suspected someone from Longyu Group would make a move, but he hadn’t expected Wang Ming would be leading them.
He sized up Wang Ming and frowned, "A senior member of Longyu Group, unexpectedly bringing people to cause trouble now?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ming immediately broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Boss, I was just..."
Yang Chen raised his hand to stop Wang Ming, asking, "Who is your informant?"
"Huh?" Wang Ming was startled, clearly not understanding Yang Chen’s implication.
Yang Chen said, "Chen Ze and Wang Er have taken Zhang Qiang away. As for what will happen, I think you should know!"
Having said that, Yang Chen pulled the car door open, "I’ll wait for you at the hotel!"
The car started, leaving the parking lot.
Only then did Wang Ming regain his senses, asking, "Who is Zhang Qiang?"
The gang leader murmured, "He... he’s the informant I arranged."
"Damn it!" Wang Ming cursed, angrily saying, "Hurry up! Go save him!"
A group of people clumsily got into the car, urgently setting off to chase after Zhao Ze and Wang Er.
...
At the hotel.
Yang Chen sat on the sofa waiting.
Before long, Wang Ming came in panting.
Yang Chen glanced at him, "Sit down!"
Wang Ming dared not sit, gasping for breath as he said, "All, all settled!"
"What was settled?" Yang Chen asked.
Wang Ming said, "Zhang Qiang! We’ve snatched Zhang Qiang back; they hadn’t had time to act yet!"
"Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Yang Chen gave Wang Ming a glance.
Wang Ming nodded deeply, "I know! They will definitely seek revenge at the first chance!"
"So, how will you handle it?"
"By preventing it before it happens!"
Yang Chen glanced at him and didn’t probe further.
Since Wang Ming said he’d prevent it before it happens, Yang Chen trusted him and waited to see how he would act.
"Tell me about the company’s current situation." Yang Chen said.
Wang Ming nodded, sat down, and said to Yang Chen, "Boss, you wouldn’t believe it, but our Longyu Group has really made it big this time!"
Yang Chen glared at him, "You are now a senior member of the company, representing the face of Longyu Group when outside. You can’t speak as recklessly as when you were a security guard at Ancheng University, what impression does that leave!"
"Heh heh!" Wang Ming laughed awkwardly, scratching his head, "It’s just a habit; I’ve never done this in front of outsiders. We have to keep up appearances."
Yang Chen slowly nodded.
Wang Ming continued, "Now our Longyu Group has integrated most industries in Ancheng, with a market value breaking trillion and heading to trillion-scale gold! If Baisheng Real Estate is included, our company has reached a trillion-scale!"
Hearing such numbers, Yang Chen was slightly shaken too.
After all, that’s a trillion in assets!
How many global companies have broken the trillion mark?
The famous apple, Aipu, reached a trillion in market value.
Even larger than Aipu is Elson, with a market value more than twice Aipu’s!
Another well-known trillion enterprise is Flame Country Petroleum.
Breaking the trillion mark in market value doesn’t mean the company has a trillion in funds; it means the value expressed by the enterprise has reached this much. The more direct expression is the market value of their stocks.
As for Longyu Group?
Though it may not have that much in funds, it certainly has substantial asset value! This asset value isn’t just stock market value, but more related to industry, a real value expression!
What does this represent?
This represents the annual GDP of certain first-tier cities!
Although it’s the value of all enterprises, the annual profit may not even reach a tenth, but it’s still very terrifying!
"But integrating it is a very large task, and President Wei alone can’t manage; even with a team assisting, the efficiency is very slow and full integration will take a long time. That’s why the workers went on vacation and staged protests. We’re helpless, as our company was initially taking losses, subsidizing workers’ wages and allowances, and the workers were very satisfied, after all, who wouldn’t be when they didn’t have to work and still got paid. But some people instigated and led the workers to make trouble; now we have to pay double wages and sign longer contracts, and the company is heavily losing money! If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have wanted to grab Zhao Ze and give him a harsh lesson!"
This matter had always been handled by Wang Ming, making him extremely resentful towards its perpetrator, wishing he could directly choke Zhao Ze!
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "And then what?"
"Huh?" Wang Ming was somewhat confused.
"I said, once you deal with Zhao Ze, then what?" Yang Chen asked.
Wang Ming said, "That’s it! Once Zhao Ze is dealt with, no one will instigate trouble again; although this matter is resolved, Zhao Ze, the perpetrator, cannot be easily forgiven! I’m going to..."
Yang Chen stopped Wang Ming, staring at him, "Tell me about Zhao Ze."
Immediately, Wang Ming said, "Zhao Ze, from New City, general manager of Changze Construction Co., Ltd., the company was founded by him and his brother Zhao Chang, but all company affairs are managed by Zhao Ze."
"And then what?" Yang Chen asked.
Wang Ming blinked, "That’s all we’ve gathered."
Yang Chen stared at Wang Ming and asked, "Don’t you think a small construction company from New City dares to confront a giant like Longyu Group head-on? Brave or starve, there’s a limit. If you want a bite from a giant like Longyu Group, don’t you consider breaking your teeth?"
Having heard this, Wang Ming thought carefully and immediately broke into a cold sweat.
"You, you’re saying... someone, someone’s deliberately targeting our Longyu Group?" Wang Ming swallowed and asked.
"What else?" Yang Chen snorted coldly.
Wang Ming slapped his thigh in annoyance, "Damn it! I thought Zhao Ze was just Wang Er’s mastermind but didn’t expect someone big was behind Zhao Ze! What do we do now, I’ve definitely startled the snake!"
Yang Chen shook his head, "It’s not necessarily so!"
Wang Ming looked at Yang Chen, full of anticipation, "Boss! Say something, what should we do!"
Yang Chen glanced at him and said, "Firstly, Zhao Ze definitely doesn’t have the capability to fight against a giant like Longyu Group, especially during this integration period! All enterprises underneath Longyu Group are monitored by the headquarters; any slight move will be detected. At this time, it’s even more dangerous than after Zheng He. Anyone daring to make a move now must be capable and influential. And Zhao Ze is just a Junior Guard; he’s defenseless in this battle. To protect himself, he must seek help from his backer! So this moment could be regarded as an opportunity!"
Wang Ming’s eyes brightened, immediately standing up, "Boss! Assign this task to me! I’m going!"
"Gao Hong!" Yang Chen called out.
"Boss!" Gao Hong hurriedly came over, thinking that finally, he had a chance to prove his worth.
"You go with Wang Ming to investigate who’s behind Zhao Ze!" Yang Chen said.
"Yes!" Gao Hong replied, full of excitement.
