Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Everyone Has Their Own Schemes

"It’s only been one move, and you’re already making a fuss, try to keep your composure."

Dongfang Wenzheng glanced at Dongfang Ding. Dongfang Ding, looking at the self-assured expression of his father, pondered... Could it be...

"Dad, you haven’t given up hope, have you?"

Dongfang Ding looked at his father, who always wanted to occupy the chairman seat of Century Group. After all, Century Group was among the top ten in Sea City. If he became the chairman, his father’s status would be greatly elevated, not just in wealth, but in stature too.

Dongfang Wenzheng merely shot Dongfang Ding a look: "It’s too early to talk about this now, just wait and see."

Dongfang Ding felt a jolt through his body upon hearing his father’s words, the old man definitely had some other plan in mind.

Now, Li Feng was at loggerheads with Dong Xing and his cohort, a dog eat dog scenario. Dongfang Ding was aware of Dong Xing’s plans. The opposition had acquired six to seven percent of shares from the Ma Family among others. Taking those shares and dumping them would be the dumbest move, which is why they would first stimulate the stock price to rise, then dump the shares at a high level.

Instantly collapsing the stock price, turning Century Group’s shares into junk.

Of course, during this process, Li Feng might start supporting the stock prices; after all, he was now the chairman of Century Group. If he didn’t support the stock, Dong Xing and his people would spread rumors, saying how Li Feng, the chairman, was this or that, completely incapable of leading Century Group—any way to talk it down, they would do so.

With the personal connections and background of Dong Xing and his allies, they could entirely smear Li Feng in an instant, not giving him any chance to clear his name.

By then, spreading rumors that Li Feng planned to dismantle Century Group, Li Feng would be instantly attacked by countless shareholders and even the employees of Century Group.

And once Li Feng started supporting the stock prices, he would fall right into Dong Xing’s trap. Dong Xing would use the same tactics, trying by all means to collapse the stock price. Not only did he have the ammunition, but he also reached a consensus with their Dongfang Family.

Their family owned nearly twenty percent of Century Group’s shares, solidly the second largest shareholder.

Last time, his father had almost secured the position of chairman of Century Group, unfortunately missing by just one move.

But this time, could Li Feng still find enough funds to support the market? That was almost more than one-fourth of Century Group’s shares. If combined with what’s already on the market, it would need to exceed one-third.

And when Chen Qinian was in charge, Century Group’s market value exceeded one trillion. One-third of that would be over three hundred billion. Even if the stock price wasn’t that high now, it would still take at least one hundred and fifty billion and above. Such a huge sum of money, even if heaven’s king father came down, he’d be done for.

To be able to withdraw hundreds of billions in such a short time, even the top ten conglomerates of Sea City wouldn’t dare say they could do it within a single day.

So Li Feng was doomed.

However, what he was more concerned about was what benefits their Dongfang Family could reap from this.

"Dong Xing, why have you suddenly called us here? Isn’t everything regarding the stock market already settled? You take care of the operations; we have no objections," Lan Tianfang said, clearly not fully awake yet, with heavy bags under his eyes, and the faint smell of liquor and women’s perfume. He had evidently just gotten out of bed after spending time with a woman.

"Exactly, we’re brothers after all, just handle it," another chimed in.

"I’ve called you here because there’s been a change in plans."

"Oh?"

Lan Tianfang yawned as he looked over at Dong Xing, "What happened?"

The others also turned their gazes toward Dong Xing.

"This Li Feng is playing cards outside the usual rules. Originally, according to the plan, we were supposed to drive the stock price up first, then dump the stocks all at once a short time before the market closed on Friday. But today, just as the stock hit the daily limit, Li Feng started dumping his shares non-stop. This move caught me a little off guard."

"Oh, Li Feng’s taking the initiative to dump his stocks, has he gone crazy?"

"Exactly, what good does dumping stocks do for him?" A wealthy scion also looked bewildered, wondering what benefits Li Feng could gain from dumping his stocks.

With a sneer, Dong Xing said, "It’s nothing but a cornered beast putting up a desperate fight. The guy isn’t stupid; he must have figured out that it’s us messing with him. If we were allowed to raise the stock price freely before dumping, our opponent could only watch helplessly."

"After all, I guess he doesn’t have many chips in his hands. That’s why he chose to sell stocks today. He’s probably planning to secure a fund flow as ammunition. On the other hand, he’s trying to disrupt our formation. If we let him dump freely, then all our previous efforts would have been in vain."

"Once we follow suit and dump the stocks, those shares we previously bought would just be stuck in our hands. This guy is planning to kill a thousand enemies at the cost of inflicting eight hundred wounds on himself. He’s not having a good time and doesn’t want us to either."

"This Li Feng really is something else, planning to fight us to the end, huh?"

"Don’t know who gave him the courage to fight us."

"Dong Xing, what are you thinking?" Lan Tianfang raised his eyes to Dong Xing, who pondered for a moment.

"Of course, we can’t let that bastard succeed."

"Li Feng may be the chairman of Century, but the funds he can mobilize from Century are limited, so I guess he doesn’t have many cards to play. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a rush to sell his stocks."

"Since he’s put up a do-or-die attitude, let’s have a real fight with him. He’s feeling bullish, but he can’t possibly contend with our strength."

"Besides, the stocks he can sell are limited. We own nearly twenty-six to twenty-seven percent of the shares, combined with the Dongfang Family’s stake. Li Feng only holds just over forty percent. If he really has the guts to sell ten percent, he won’t be able to sit still as the chairman."

A cold smirk appeared on Dong Xing’s lips.

"Ten percent, given the current stock price, that’s at least several hundred billion, right? Where are we going to get that kind of money?"

As soon as Lan Tianfang spoke up, all the wealthy heirs present were stunned. Several hundred billion – that’s not a small figure. Although they were rich, being able to scrape up several billion would have been impressive, considering they hadn’t yet taken over their fathers’ businesses.

"Borrow from banks, and also the Dongfang Family, they have money. As long as we tell them we support him as the chairman of Century, he would gladly fork out the funds."

"I think three hundred billion should be enough. After all, the current stock price isn’t high, and Li Feng has only so much breath in him. It’s unlikely he dares to sell that much, and he’s not foolish enough to let us buy so many shares and kick him out of the game."

"As long as we hold steady, then it’s our turn to clean him up."

Dong Xing laughed coldly and repeatedly.

"Three hundred billion, even if we sold everything including the kitchen sink, we couldn’t scrape that much together."

"I said three hundred billion as a budget. We don’t need that much right away. Let’s start by pooling thirty to fifty billion; surely that shouldn’t be a problem. Just to get through today and tomorrow. I’ll contact the banks to arrange for a loan, as well as the Dongfang Family. They are investors, with a lot of funds at their disposal. I have a way to persuade them."

"We’ll have the three hundred billion in no time. If it weren’t for not wanting the family to get involved, we could just mention it to them. Do you think they wouldn’t want to have a stake in this?"
