"This is not difficult. I'll just tell my father a lie, saying you've landed a big government project. He'll naturally provide the funds to help you. Chinese government projects are known worldwide for being foolproof and profitable."
Jiaye Meizi said with a smile.
"Your father isn't a novice in the business world; would he be easily fooled?"
Chen Feng asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.
"If it were anyone else, my father certainly wouldn't be fooled. But you, a remarkable figure who rose from being a deputy town mayor's driver to deputy mayor, coupled with his own daughter adding fuel to the fire, he'll definitely believe it."
Jiaye Meizi continued with a smile.
"Jiaye Meizi, is it worth taking such a big risk for a man?"
Chen Feng asked earnestly.
"For anyone else, it definitely wouldn't be worth it, not even for my father. I'm in business, and I know that failure in the business world can lead to utter ruin. However, you are my man, and a man of immense capability. I trust you unconditionally, so it's not a big deal. And even if it fails, I believe you'll rise again."
Jiaye Meizi said with emotion.
Chen Feng didn't press further.
To thank Jiaye Meizi, Chen Feng didn't hesitate and engaged in a passionate encounter with her right there in his office.
Perhaps it was due to being busy lately and not having had much intimate time with women, but their passionate encounter lasted for three hours.
"Chen Feng, you have so many women in China. Haven't you been intimate with anyone recently?"
Jiaye Meizi asked, her face flushed and filled with contentment.
"I've been busy lately. To be honest, I haven't been intimate with any women."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
"No wonder you're so fierce."
Jiaye Meizi chuckled contentedly.
"You are my woman, and I must be in the best state. Alright, you should go talk to your father about the money. We need to deal with Wan Jing swiftly and decisively. If we drag it out, Wan Jing will surely notice something is amiss."
Chen Feng said as he put on his clothes.
At noon, Jiaye Meizi went directly to her father's office.
As expected, her father didn't hesitate to provide all his liquid capital upon hearing that the project was a major Chinese government initiative led by Chen Feng.
"Dad, you're giving the money without even thinking twice. Aren't you afraid of business failure?"
Jiaye Meizi asked her father deliberately.
"What is there to be afraid of? I understand the Chinese power circles. Let me put it this way: the easiest money to make in the world is from projects in Chinese power circles. As long as you grease the palms of the various deities in power, you only profit, never lose. Unlike Japan or America, which are capitalist, even government projects can result in losses. Chinese power circles are different; most receive state financial subsidies and are fundamentally incapable of losing money. Even if, in the worst-case scenario, there were losses, it wouldn't matter, as the Chinese power circles would provide compensatory subsidies."
Jiaye Meizi's father replied excitedly.
"Dad, how do you know so much about the Chinese power circles?"
Jiaye Meizi asked, following up.
"Isn't that obvious? China is so close to Japan, a neighboring country. It's not difficult to understand the political ecology of a neighboring country. Alright, stop asking so many pointless questions, and hurry to work with Chen Feng to secure this big deal."
Jiaye Meizi's father urged.
When it came to making money, speed was essential; there was no room for delay.
With the funds secured, Chen Feng immediately began his operation.
It took nearly half a month to gradually push up the price of that futures contract.
Jiaye Meizi was puzzled. Didn't he say earlier that they needed to be swift and decisive against Wan Jing? Why was the actual operation so sluggish?
After a month and a half, they were still pushing up the futures contract.
"Jiaye Meizi, didn't I tell you before? Wan Jing is no ordinary person; he's an experienced veteran of the business world, a shrewd operator. If we were to push up that futures contract within a few days, he would quickly realize that someone was setting a trap. Therefore, we must slowly increase the price of that stock. When I said swift and decisive, I meant the timing of the action, not the speed of the action. Haste makes waste; we must proceed at an unhurried pace."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"I see. By the way, Chen Feng, has Wan Jing fallen for it?"
"Not yet. In a few more days, I'll return to China to add fuel to the fire for Wan Jing."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Add fuel to the fire? How?"
Jiaye Meizi asked excitedly.
"It's simple. When I return to China this time, I'll bring a female employee from the futures market in Japan for a few days. Then, I'll arrange for her to 'accidentally' meet Wan Jing. You can imagine the rest."
Chen Feng explained with a smile.
"But why would that female employee listen to you, come back to China with you, and deliberately encounter Wan Jing?"
Jiaye Meizi asked, puzzled.
"Money."
"Money?"
"Yes, money. If a hundred thousand isn't enough, then a million, or if necessary, even five million."
"Isn't that a bit too costly?"
Jiaye Meizi pressed.
"To bribe someone to do something for five million is indeed a considerable cost. However, if it means ruining Wan Jing, it's worth it."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
Jiaye Meizi was impressed.
Chen Feng had a broad vision, understanding the principle of give and take, acting decisively without being overly sentimental or indecisive.
Three days later, Chen Feng returned to China with that female employee from the Japanese futures market.
After spending a day in Ming Shan City, Chen Feng had the female employee go to the provincial capital.
He then called his friends in the provincial capital and asked them to arrange for the female employee to have a chance encounter with Wan Jing.
Another two days passed, and everything unfolded as predicted.
Wan Jing indeed fell for the trap, thinking his luck had turned and he had stumbled upon a major inside tip.
Consequently, Wan Jing made a tentative investment in that futures contract.
Chen Feng remained unhurried, continuing to use money to slowly push up the price of the futures contract.
Seeing that there was potential, Wan Jing invested half of his money in that futures contract.
Jiaye Meizi excitedly called Chen Feng, urging him to close the net quickly.
"Close the net?"
Chen Feng smiled faintly.
"Yes, close the net. Wan Jing has already invested half of his assets. This is the best time to close the net. If we wait any longer, Wan Jing will sense something is wrong and definitely flee. If Wan Jing flees, we'll lose everything. We can't take that risk."
Jiaye Meizi strongly advised Chen Feng.
"Jiaye Meizi, think carefully. If we close the net now, will our objective be achieved?"
Chen Feng retorted.
"No! Your objective is to make Wan Jing lose everything and then jump to his death."
Jiaye Meizi replied truthfully.
"Exactly. Wan Jing has only invested half of his assets. If we close the net now, the objective will not be achieved."
"But even if the objective isn't fully achieved, we've made a significant profit, so it's not a loss."
Jiaye Meizi continued to persuade Chen Feng.
"Jiaye Meizi, my primary objective in this operation is not just to make money; it's to destroy Wan Jing. Wan Jing must die. He cannot live, so I must continue to push up the price of that futures contract."
Chen Feng stated resolutely.
"Chen Feng, what I mean is, it's better to cut our losses when we're ahead. I'm always worried that Wan Jing might suddenly withdraw his investment, and that futures contract will be stuck with us."
Jiaye Meizi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, it won't be stuck with us. As long as someone is human, they will be greedy. When a futures contract keeps rising, who can resist adding more investment?"
Chen Feng said confidently.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"We must."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. If we really need more money, tell me, and I'll find a way to refinance in Japan."
After encouraging Chen Feng, Jiaye Meizi hung up the phone.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate and continued to increase his investment in that futures contract.
Just after he made the additional investment, a terrifying event occurred...
