Chapter 528: 468 divided into meals

The so-called ’calling for help when the wind is strong’ is naturally a joke.

Not to mention anything else, Jiang Chen couldn’t get past his barrier of fleeing at the first sign that Dongying capital was getting involved.

Although he didn’t think himself to be all that great, at the very least, he was still a man.

But then again,

it wasn’t unfeasible to leave the scene and walk away now.

Setting aside the stocks he had bought from Joe Bankton for 800 million euros, the current stock price of K.E had fallen to around 100 euros, down from the initial 160 euros, having dropped by 60 euros.

The goal of short selling had been achieved, actually.

At this point, all that was needed was to spend a portion of money to buy back an equal amount of stocks from the brokers and return them.

As for those 800 million euros, they were spent from the sycophant fund, which had no cost at all.

Four Seasons Hotel.

Jiang Chen silently weighed the benefits and losses; up to now, in this financial war he had personally started, he had reaped quite a bounty, not only eradicating a huge amount of sycophant credit but also securing powerful connections.

The most crucial was that he also crafted for himself a justifiable identity.

Tianci Society.

With this fictitious organization, never again would anyone question the origins of his money.

The only regret.

Despite clearly feeling a significant change in his stature within Pei Yunxi’s heart, his favorability hadn’t increased.

Was it really so metaphysical?

Is it futile to try planting flowers with intent, and only the trees planted unintentionally will flourish?

Just as Jiang Chen was sighing to himself, his phone rang.

"President Liu."

It was Liu Yiming.

"Jiang, has Mr. Han’s health improved?"

As an actor, one appearance was enough.

"Thanks for your concern, President Liu. Uncle is currently undergoing convalescence."

Jiang Chen was earnest.

In reality, though, all those actors were critically ill, and the only loophole might be Thomas Felton.

But that renowned director was a career maniac, fully immersed in his films, with no interest in these matters.

Jiang Chen hoped that the other party would continue to be this "pure".

This monumental lie absolutely could not be exposed.

Otherwise,

Those who achieve great things do not stickle over minor matters.

In this financial battle, those stockholders who yelled and screamed gradually hardened Jiang Chen’s resolve.

Up to this day, he started to understand people like Shi Zhenhua and Shi Qianxi.

"Jiang, Dongying capital has intervened to bail out K.E; you must be aware of that by now?"

Liu Yiming quickly got back to business,

Because of Tianci Society’s existence, in his eyes, Jiang Chen and Head of Cold River had no difference,

"Yes, I’m aware."

Jiang Chen said, "If Dongying capital is dead set on wading through this mess, President Liu, you can withdraw first."

"Jiang, that’s not what I meant."

What Liu Yiming said next took Jiang Chen by surprise.

"I’m calling because Dongying capital would like to have a talk with you."

Jiang Chen was stunned.

"Dongying capital wants to talk with me?"

"Yes."

Liu Yiming said calmly, "It’s not hard to understand, really. If this standoff continues, the only outcome will be mutual destruction. Even if Dongying capital finally manages to save K.E Group, they’ll pay a hefty price. They have to consider whether it’s worth it. Moreover, after this incident, even if K.E Group survives, its reputation will be severely damaged. Reputation, once tarnished, is not easy to mend. If I were Dongying capital, I would also consider whether it’s worth it to spend a fortune to take over such a mess."

Jiang Chen understood all this but was still somewhat caught off guard.

"Do you mean, President Liu, that they intend to negotiate with me?"

"I’m not entirely sure, they just asked me to convey their intention to negotiate, but it seems to me that they do want to talk."

Jiang Chen pondered.

"Jiang, in my opinion, if the conditions are right, negotiations wouldn’t be a bad idea. After all, the Fujiwara Family is one of Dongying’s top conglomerates with a long history; we shouldn’t underestimate them."

Liu Yiming laid out the pros and cons.

It is well known that the wealth clans in Korea are formidable, almost monopolizing the entire country’s wealth, powerful and untouchable.

And Dongying’s corporate powerhouses are no less inferior.

Take a very simple example.

Mount Fuji.

Everyone knows.

Dongying’s number one iconic tourist spot.

Visiting Mount Fuji to see the cherry blossoms is a dream for many people.

Yet few know.

Mount Fuji is privately owned!

That’s right.

Mount Fuji is indeed private property!

This landmark, arguably the most famous in Dongying, is owned by the same Fujiwara Family mentioned by Liu Yiming!

The extent of this family’s power is unfathomable.

"Of course, that’s just my opinion; the choice is yours to make."

Liu Yiming did not put on any airs.

Society is not a school.

It never operates on seniority.

The other party’s prowess had been demonstrated in this financial war against K.E Group.

The unknown is always daunting.

Before this, he hadn’t even heard of this organization.

"Since President Liu has said so, I agree to talk with them."

"Ok, I’ll pass on the message and notify you once the time is arranged."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen hung up the phone.

Fujiwara Family.

This would be his first contact with a world-class financial dynasty, and to say he wasn’t a bit nervous would certainly be a lie.
