Chapter 56: Kerry? It’s a Piece of Cake!

“There are four top investment companies.”
“The first one is Shi Lei Company. The boss is stable and has a discerning eye. He’s especially good at recruiting talents.”
“The second one is Xinchang Capital. There are many talents there, and the four partners are all outstanding in various aspects.”
“Then, the third one is Kerry Financial Company. The boss is called Luo Yuchang. He…” Zhang Qidong said with an unnatural expression. He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “He’s a good person. I borrowed money from him before. However, at the critical moment, the price of Pork Inc. fluctuated abnormally. I guess there was a large amount of money entering the market to buy and sell it.”
Jiang Feng sensed that something was amiss. “Is that so? Tell me about it.”
“It’s very strange. At that time, the general consensus about Pork Inc. was not bad. The risk was not high. Even if the price went down, one wouldn’t lose a lot of money. The price was clearly goingup before I borrowed the money, but after borrowing the money, it went down,” Zhang Qidong said with a strange expression on his face.
Jiang Feng understood immediately. How could there be such a huge contrast before and after? How could the situation change in such a short time? How could it be such a coincidence? It was obvious that someone was trying to sabotage it.
It was likely that Luo Yuchang was targeting Cinda Financial. He might have invested to disrupt the market. He wanted Zhang Qidong to go bankrupt so he could seize the opportunity to acquire the company.
It was like killing two birds with one stone. Not only did Luo Yuchang become a good person, but he would also expand his company. This was a carefully laid plan. No wonder Zhang Qidong invested so much money. As it turned out, Luo Yuchang was causing trouble.
Jiang Feng would never believe that Luo Yuchang was being helpful, not when the law of the jungle was applied in this world. Moreover, it seemed like Luo Yuchang and Zhang Qidong did not have a particularly close relationship. Why would Luo Yuchang show such goodwill for no reason? No matter what, Luo Yuchang was very suspicious.
Jiang Feng said seriously, “Investigate this Luo Yuchang. I feel that something’s not right.”
Zhang Qidong nodded. It was good to investigate this matter to see if Luo Yuchang was sincere or if he was trying to dig a hole for Cinda Financial.
Jiang Feng said, “Go on. What about the other company?”
“There’s also Quansheng Investment. The boss, Fang Quansheng, is a young genius like you. He easily earned 400 to 500 million…”
Jiang Feng smiled faintly, “This company sounds interesting…” Then, he added, “For now, investigate Luo Yuchang. I’ll let you know if there’s anything else.”
The first target would be Kerry Financial Company.
“Alright,” Zhang Qidong said with a nod. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘Is the target for the acquisition Kerry? Luo Yuchang isn’t easy to deal with. I wonder what President Jiang is planning. Is he trying to seek revenge? Ha, in any case, following President Jiang is the right decision.’
Song Yaozhong, who was at the side, also shared similar thoughts with Zhang Qidong. He could not help but ask, “President Jiang, what are you trying to do?”
“Acquire Kerry,” Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly.
Although Song Yaozhong had already expected this, he was still shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief. His mouth that was agape could fit several eggs. After a beat, he stammered, “Y-you… Are you serious?”
They knew what kind of status Kerry Financial Company had. It was equivalent to more than a dozen Cinda Financial. No matter if they had guessed it earlier, it was still shocking to hear that Jiang Feng intended to acquire Kerry FinancialCompany. It felt like they were overestimating themselves. The owner of Kerry Financial Company, Luo Yuchang, was not someone to be trifled with. If they provoked him, their future would be very difficult.
Song Yaozhong could not help but worry.
Zhang Qidong was just like Song Yaozhong when he heard Jiang Feng intended to acquire Kerry Financial Company. Based on the amount of money Luo Yuchang easily lent him previously, he felt that Luo Yuchang definitely had more than 10,000 ways to deal with Cinda Financial.
Cinda Financial was a small company, to begin with. If they tried to devour such a huge target, would they not end up choking? If they were targeted by Luo Yuchang, their days would not be easy.
Apart from that, among the top investment companies, Kerry Financial Company could be considered the best. It would be relatively easier to acquire the other companies instead. Why did Jiang Feng choose Kerry Financial Company?
“Of course. Our first move is to acquire Kerry,” Jiang Feng said firmly.
Since Luo Yuchang schemed against his company, Luo Yuchang would have to pay the price. Moreover, he had used such a sinister method.
Apart from that, this was also a good opportunity. Luo Yuchang had long set his eyes on Cinda Financial. Even if Jiang Feng did not do anything, Luo Yuchang would still continue to target Cinda Financial. As such, Jiang Feng might as well seize this chance to acquire Kerry Financial Company. This was simply killing two birds with one stone.
“Luo Yuchang easily lent me so much money previously. It seemed like he didn’t even care if I’d lose the money. Can we really acquire Kerry?” Zhang Qidong said with an uncertain expression on his face. He lowered his head, clearly lacking in confidence. He had worked hard his entire life. Only once in more than 30 years did he manage to muster up his courage to charge to the front line. Alas, in the end, he failed.
Moreover, acquisitions of companies could involve billions.
It was not easy for Cinda Financial to emerge from the crisis unscathed.
Jiang Dong muttered, unaware that he was speaking out loud, “Isn’t it a bit too soon to make such a move when we just resolved the crisis?”
“No, it’s not too soon at all. If we don’t make a move, we’ll only stay in the same spot. Moreover, Kerry might not let Cinda go even if we don’t do anything,” Jiang Feng explained patiently before he told them about his suspicion of Luo Yuchang lending money to Zhang Qidong.
Song Yaozhong felt that Jiang Feng’s analysis made sense. “Old Zhang, President Jiang is right. Moreover, we earned hundreds of millions. Perhaps, this kind of impossibility would become a possibility as well…”
“You’re right. I’m just too nervous,” Zhang Qidong said with a sigh. He had brought the company into the abyss of suffering previously.
Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said casually, “Alright, both of you can deal with the other things. Let me know the results as soon as you know.”
“President Jiang, aren’t you going to stay in the company for a while?” Zhang Qidong asked when he saw Jiang Feng making a move to leave. He was reluctant to part with Jiang Feng so quickly. He had learned a lot when he spoke to Jiang Feng previously so he wanted to learn more.
Song Yaozhong looked at Jiang Feng enviously. At such a young age, Jiang Feng had a sharp judgment and was capable of turning the tide when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Now, he was even leading them to expand the company.
The things Song Yaozhong had occasionally talked about with Zhang Qidong were slowly being realized after Jiang Feng appeared. In the future, Cinda Financial might really have a place at the top. He believed in the young man in front of him.
Jiang Feng said politely, “No, I have other things to do.”
In fact, Jiang Feng did not have anything to do. However, it was too uncomfortable for him to stay here. Moreover, he preferred to be a hands-off boss. It was fun to go out and play as well.
