Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Fish Die, Net Breaks?
As the conversation was taking place.
Jiang Linda stood up on the stage and blew into the microphone, "Please quiet down, everyone. The press conference will start shortly. Let me invite the chairman of Century Group, Li Feng."
The reporters present immediately quieted down and their gazes all turned towards Li Feng, who was walking up from one side. The photographers didn’t skimp at all, aiming their cameras and snapping wildly at Li Feng, afraid to miss a single detail.
Li Feng walked onto the stage and swept his gaze over the audience below. He instantly spotted Dong Xing standing there. Their gazes collided mid-air, but Li Feng only held the look for a moment before shifting his attention away.
"Welcome everyone, despite your busy schedules, to attend this press conference. At this moment, I will only discuss one matter."
The reporters watched Li Feng intently, afraid to miss a word.
"Regarding the issue of the divestiture and sale of several companies under Century Group, including Century Real Estate, Century Logistics, Century Electronics, Century Biotechnology..."
Li Feng’s words were like a powerful bomb, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. The journalists all went a bit crazy. Damn it, this lucky son of a bitch Century chairman really knew how to make big news every time he appeared.
He was actually going to sell Century Group.
Century Group was one of Sea City’s top ten conglomerates, representing the face of Sea City, and he had only taken over Century Group not three or four months ago, and he was already planning to sell it.
If the late Chairman Chen could see this, he’d probably be so angry that he’d come back to life.
"Holy shit, this bastard has lost his mind."
A rich young man below, upon hearing the news announced by Li Feng, was dumbfounded. What the hell was this Li doing?
"Is he trying to bring us all down with him?" someone nearby said and took a sharp intake of breath.
"Hmph, destroy us all? Does he even qualify?"
Dong Xing sneered coldly and walked directly towards the stage of the press conference. The reporters below saw Dong Xing and were baffled.
"Who is this guy?"
"Don’t know, is he planning to acquire Century Group? He looks so young, doesn’t even seem to be thirty."
Many reporters speculated on Dong Xing’s identity. Clearly, Dong Xing wasn’t the kind of person who frequently appeared in entertainment gossip or news, so most of them didn’t recognize him, but there were many veteran journalists present with extensive networks.
Zhang Fan just so happened to know this young Mr. Dong.
"Quick, get more shots, damn it, this is going to be big news."
"Brother Fan, who is this guy?"
Zhang Fan’s assistant asked quietly on the side. This assistant was new and hasn’t been with Zhang Fan for long, but she had some background and, plus, she was pretty, so Zhang Fan didn’t mind clarifying a bit more.
"Dong Xing, the owner of Sky Canopy Investment."
"Oh, Sky Canopy Investment, I’ve never really heard of it."
"Haha, of course you haven’t. This investment company is very low-key, plus it’s a private fund, not open to the public at all. But from what I know, Sky Canopy Investment is very powerful, especially this Dong Xing. It’s said that he is the direct heir of the Dong Family, one of the Eight Great Elite Families."
"Of course, compared to this identity, he has another quite famous one."
"Oh, what’s that?"
"One of the Sea City Four Young Masters."
On the stage, when Li Feng saw Dong Xing coming: "Dong Xing, you really are a persistent ghost."
Dong Xing lifted the corner of his mouth slightly with a faint smile, "Look at you, saying such things. I came especially for your news conference, wanting to hear what you planned to say."
"Oh, after Dong Young Master has listened, do you have any advice to offer?"
Dong Xing huffed dismissively, casting a scornful look at Li Feng.
"Nothing much, just that I feel you’re putting out unnecessary effort. If you can’t hold on any longer, there’s no need to stubbornly persist until you lose everything."
"Li Feng, you should know the outcome if you continue down this path. Now with so many media friends here, why not beg for mercy? I might consider letting you off the hook."
"You think you’ve won!"
Li Feng looked at Dong Xing, sneering mockingly.
"Li Feng, don’t be blinded by your own stubbornness. It’s only for the sake of the Ten Marshals’ Family that I considered sparing you. You’d better recognize the favor," Dong Xing snorted coldly.
"There’s no need for that," Li Feng said before turning his head to address the microphone, "Today’s press conference is now concluded."
After speaking, Li Feng got up to leave, but the reporters had no intention of letting him go so easily, crowding around him.
"Chairman Li, why would you betray Century Group?"
"Chairman Li, as far as I know, it’s been just over three months since you became chairman. Such a hasty sale of Century Group, is it because you are incapable of controlling it...!"
"Chairman Li, ..."
"Make way, everyone, please make way."
Just then, Dong Xing on the stage didn’t plan to let Li Feng off so easily. He reached out and tapped the microphone, "Friends from the media, since Chairman Li doesn’t wish to elaborate, why not listen to what I have to say?"
Hearing this invitation, many reporters halted in their tracks, and quite a few turned around and returned to their seats below the stage.
"May I ask who you are? Are you the one acquiring Century Group?"
"Quiet, let’s take this one at a time."
After speaking, Dong Xing pointed to a reporter.
"What is your identity and what is your purpose here today?"
"My name is Dong Xing, the owner of Sky Canopy Investment. As for my purpose here today, naturally, it’s to plan for the acquisition of Century Group."
Dong Xing’s words immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the reporters below.
"Mr. Dong, as I understand, Century Group has a capital scale exceeding one trillion and is one of the top ten conglomerates in Sea City, with a massive size. How confident are you in your ability to acquire Century Group?"
"How confident do you think I am?"
"I can tell you confidently, one hundred percent."
"And that Chairman Li who just scurried away, he’ll soon be kicked out on his ass by me," Dong Xing declared with extreme arrogance.
"Mr. Dong, regarding the recent volatile stock movements of several of Century Group’s listed companies, which went against the market trend and rose sharply—is it because of your acquisition?"
"Correct."
"I can assure everyone responsibly that I, Dong Xing, intend to acquire Century Group, no matter what the cost."
With Dong Xing’s bold statements captivating almost all of Li Feng’s reporters, Jiang Linda listened to Dong Xing’s bombast, grinding her teeth in anger.
"So you’re just going to watch him spout such nonsense without intervening?"
Li Feng watched Dong Xing with a chuckle, "He’s speaking quite well, why interfere?"
"You?"
"Mingyue, that Dong Xing is really getting too cocky with all his nonsensical talk, isn’t he afraid that the stock acquisition later will encounter big trouble?"
At this moment, atop the skyscraper in Sea City.
Xiao Mingyue had also been closely following the content sent back from the press conference scene, "Heh, I actually think this kid’s not bad. When everyone adds wood to the fire, the flames rise high. Let’s let the stock price soar for a while."
"Mingyue, aren’t we supposed to buy in and then kick Li Feng out, taking control of Century Group?"
"What do I want with Century Group? With old man Chen gone, Century Group is already toppling. Even the Crown Prince doesn’t want that junk. Would I, Xiao Mingyue, treasure it?"
The female assistant couldn’t fathom the other’s intentions and wondered if she had thought wrong.
"Duanmu, you still have much to learn."
Xiao Mingyue got up and placed her hand under the chin of her secretary, Duanmu Xue, who immediately blushed.
"Mingyue."
