Chapter 1293: 893 horsepower at full throttle

There are four founding partners in the company, after all.

Even though Jin Hai is "direct lineage," and he himself is the largest shareholder, Jiang Chen is certainly not someone who rules like a dictator.

However, he didn’t rush to find Lan Peizhi. Instead, he sat alone in his office, sorting through his thoughts once more.

Even though he had lick-dog gold as a safety net, the acquisition of Hengsheng Group was undoubtedly the largest move he’d ever made. It required absolute caution.

But no matter how significant the matter was, he had to seize this opportunity.

Spending money.

Sometimes it’s not an easy thing to do.

Especially when you’re dealing with terrifying sums in the trillions.

Waiting for another legitimate opportunity like this—who knows how many years it would take?

Society.

Nation.

Self.

All are mutually beneficial.

It seems, apart from the difficulty in logical terms, there are no other loopholes.

As for logic.

It’s actually not that difficult to comprehend.

As a native People of Shenzhou, a proud member of the Young Pioneers with a resolute patriotism, how could that be wrong?

As for the source of funds, that’s likely the most troublesome issue.

But now, he’s no longer a fresh graduate stumbling out of college.

With Jiang Chen’s deliberate effort, his industries now span the globe, encompassing various sectors. A single film, That Vast Blue, shattered records.

At worst, he still has the vast fabrication he spun.

The large and mysterious overseas Chinese diaspora—its strength is immeasurable.

If Western conglomerates can manufacture global financial crises, shouldn’t countless overseas Chinese and their communities be able to repay their homeland and prevent catastrophe? What’s the issue?

So, when Jiang Chen entered Lan Peizhi’s office, he was brimming with confidence. Without any preamble, he straightforwardly stated his intentions.

"I plan to acquire Hengsheng Group."

Even though Cao Jinse was utterly shaken by this news, Lan Peizhi remained poised like a Bodhisattva, her expression completely still.

"That’s your business; there’s no need to tell me."

Age does make a difference.

It brings a degree of wisdom.

No matter how earth-shaking the matter is—why should it concern her?

"I’ve already reached an agreement with Cao Jinse."

Jiang Chen spoke without hesitation, with such practiced composure that he didn’t even blush.

Lan Peizhi seemed slightly surprised at this point. After a brief silence, she murmured, "Looks like you’ve obtained the ironclad promise."

What is intelligence,

what is foresight,

what is the ability to discern the subtleties?

Though he knew it’d be tough to deceive such "immortal" partners, Jiang Chen understood that keeping up appearances was a minimum effort required. He remained noncommittal about the "ironclad promise" remark, explaining: "Although the investment might be significant, time will prove that this deal is absolutely worth it. Acquiring Hengsheng Group will give a major boost to Great Wall’s development, expanding the ecological chain and saving us years—if not decades—in progress. There’s nothing more valuable than time."

He leaned into a vision of the future, tactfully skirting around potential concerns.

"In Shenzhou, you sure know how to play the capitalist game."

Lan Peizhi offered her conclusion.

Jiang Chen responded calmly, without discomfort: "I just happened to seize the moment."

"Do you have the means to fill such a massive gap?"

Lan Peizhi’s question was sharp and to the point.

Jiang Chen shook his head decisively.

"I don’t, but the organization does."

Lan Peizhi was keenly aware of what "organization" referred to.

The mysterious Tianci Society she’d been disoriented by to this day.

Even though she’d already joined, she’d only met one "colleague" thus far—the man standing before her, Jiang Chen.

Of course.

She had witnessed glimpses of Tianci Society’s power—in Goryeo, in Haojiang, merely the tip of the iceberg.

"Actually, acquiring Hengsheng Group isn’t my idea; it’s the organization’s will. Shenzhou’s real estate market cannot collapse."

As a member of the organization, invoking its directives was something Lan Peizhi couldn’t exactly oppose.

Even the strongest individuals are bound by certain rules.

"Knock knock..."

The sound of knocking broke the moment.

Soon.

Cao Jinse walked in, paused upon seeing him, then turned to leave.

"We’ve finished talking."

Jiang Chen stopped her, then gracefully stepped out. Before leaving, he offered a reminder: "This weekend, Niu Jili invited us to visit Su Da. If you’re free, let’s go together."

"He’s the biggest spendthrift I’ve ever encountered."

After he left, Cao Jinse remarked with feeling, then asked Lan Peizhi, "Aunt Lan, he spoke to you about it, didn’t he?"

Lan Peizhi nodded in acknowledgment.

"Aunt Lan, what are your thoughts?"

"He said you two have already reached an agreement."

With the two largest shareholders already aligned, the opinions of others wouldn’t matter much.

Cao Jinse revealed a bitter smile of reluctance. "Logically, I should firmly oppose, but after hearing his ramblings earlier, I find myself wavering."

"Actually, what he said does make sense. Those who bear the firewood for the many should not be left to perish in the wind and snow. He’s a smart man; he knows he won’t suffer a loss."

Cao Jinse nodded. "Uncle Sui said the same thing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the guts to go along with his madness. But this kind of boldness—not something ordinary people possess."

"You’ve known him long enough; do you think he’s ordinary?"

Not a question, but a statement.

Cao Jinse froze, then broke into laughter. Looking at the serene woman before her, she sighed. "Aunt Lan really understands him. Not even slightly surprised."

Lan Peizhi met her gaze, her lips lifting into a rare smile that painted an enchanting expression capable of stopping anyone in their tracks—even a fellow woman like Cao Jinse found herself momentarily dazed.

"You just don’t understand men."

Cao Jinse forced herself back to focus, her eyes filled with confusion.
