"Yes, if it's like that, he won't protect Yang Shasha anymore and will say anything." Susu thought it was a good idea, but then she asked again, "We don't know where Yang Shasha is being held now. Even if we did, how could we make her say something unfavorable to Yu Wei?"
"That's where you come in. You need to contact Kang Xi first and have him find out where Yang Shasha is being held. Then I'll put on a big show for her, which will make Yu Wei see her true colors." Tian Yi seemed to have it all figured out.
Susu curiously asked, "What exactly is your plan? How are you going to put on this big show?"
"I'm not telling you yet. You'll know when the time comes," Tian Yi said with a playful smile, keeping her in suspense.
Susu held her phone and said, "Oh, then I'll go contact Kang Xi."
Tian Yi pinched her cheek, feigning anger, and said, "Hey, you destroyed the watchtower, and you still want to slip away? You have to reassemble it for me, and all the cavalry must complete their tasks tonight."
"Oh, stop messing around. I'll help you reassemble it after I finish my call," Susu pleaded coquettishly. "Mr. Qin, I promise I'll finish the task tonight, okay?"
Tian Yi flicked her cheek hard before letting go and saying, "Alright, keep it brief with Kang Xi, and hurry back to work."
"Okay, okay." Susu, as if granted a pardon, ran out of the room to make her call.
...
In the morning, Tian Yi was in his office, staring at the fluctuations of Xie Corporation's stock price on his computer, knowing that Xie Corporation was in trouble.
He had arrived at the group early, and his secretary had reported that Xie's stock had shown some abnormality at yesterday's closing.
This morning's financial news had broken the story that Xie Corporation had used dual contracts for a major international shipping project, evading a significant amount of customs duties, along with other covert illegal operations.
The officials who had approved Xie Corporation's illegal contracts had been invited to the Independent Commission Against Corruption for a chat.
It was rumored that Xie Zhendong was now missing, and several high-ranking executives of Xie Corporation had been arrested.
This was the most sensational news in Lancheng this year.
Tian Yi watched Xie Corporation's stock plummeting and a thought suddenly struck him.
At this moment, Xiao Anjing walked into his office without knocking and said, "Xi Xianya's background has been investigated. It turns out she's a fallen noblewoman..."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Did you see this morning's stock market?" Tian Yi didn't want to hear about Xi Xianya at the moment.
Xiao Anjing said inexplicably, "Yes, I did. Our group's stocks are all normal. What's wrong?"
"Xie Corporation's stock price has plummeted. Immediately find two traders and start acquiring Xie Corporation's stocks in large quantities," Tian Yi instructed.
"Now? What's going on?" Xiao Anjing didn't react immediately.
"Just do as you're told. If we don't acquire a large amount at this time, someone else might get the upper hand."
"Okay, I'm on it." Xiao Anjing's playful demeanor vanished, and he immediately got serious about the task.
All day long, Tian Yi did nothing but monitor the overall stock market.
By the afternoon, as he had expected, someone else was also acquiring Xie Corporation's stocks in large quantities. Xie Corporation hadn't taken any self-rescue measures, likely because they hadn't reacted yet.
Soon, the two traders arranged by Xiao Anjing and the other party who wanted to acquire Xie Corporation's stocks were engaged in an increasingly fierce battle, reaching a fever pitch before the market closed.
Fortunately, by the time the market closed in the afternoon, the Xie Corporation stocks they had acquired were double that of the opposing party. Tian Yi estimated that the person secretly acquiring Xie Corporation's stocks would be furious.
Xiao Anjing's nervous mood finally eased, and he returned to Tian Yi's office, saying approvingly, "Young Master, you're amazing. Tomorrow, we'll continue to acquire more at a low price, and we can become a major shareholder of Xie Corporation."
Tian Yi raised his face, smiled at him, and asked, "How much capital did we use to acquire Xie Corporation's stocks today? Can we afford to acquire more tomorrow? You need to ask the finance department to prepare a detailed report of the group's existing liquid capital and funds available for operation."
"Yes, we can't invest all our existing capital. What if something else happens and the funds become tight?" An Jing also realized this.
Tian Yi smiled and said, "You know, we can't acquire any more tomorrow. We need to have the traders help Xie Corporation's people raise their stock price, and then we'll sell it off."
"What? Why sell it off? Don't you plan to take over Xie Corporation?" An Jing disagreed. The competition for acquiring these stocks today had been so fierce.
Tian Yi stood up and walked over to him, patting his shoulder and saying, "Do we have the ability to take over Xie Corporation now? Xie Corporation is like a warship of similar scale to ours, and in some aspects, even better. It's not something that can be done in a day or two. The reason we were able to acquire their stocks so smoothly today is that they haven't reacted yet. Tomorrow, they will naturally find ways to remedy the situation."
"Then you made me busy for a whole day," An Jing said, stretching his shoulders and neck. "It made me as tense as if I were in a battle."
"I just saw the right opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make our group a lot of money," Tian Yi said with a sly smile. "The one who truly wants to take over Xie Corporation is probably someone else. I estimate it's an aircraft carrier."
An Jing quickly asked, "Who wants to acquire Xie Corporation?"
"I can't be sure yet, but that aircraft carrier can't hide for much longer," Tian Yi said. "Today, they just wanted to test the waters, but their initial attempt didn't go smoothly."
"Stop being mysterious. What do you mean?"
Tian Yi analyzed, "Just exposing Xie Corporation's dual contract issue probably won't be enough to destroy them. Think about it, shipping is just Xie Corporation's oldest business. It's likely that Xie Zhendong hasn't managed it personally for a long time, and he probably handed it over to his subordinates. Xie Corporation can easily push out one or two high-ranking executives to take the blame and clear themselves. Therefore, they will definitely take public relations emergency measures tomorrow and do their best to raise their stock price."
"That's true. It's impossible to bring down Xie Corporation with just a violation of contract," An Jing agreed.
Tian Yi patted his shoulder again and said, "Tomorrow, you still need to keep a close eye on Xie Corporation's stock. Sell it at a high price, and let the people who truly want to acquire Xie Corporation buy it at a high price. Their economic strength should be stronger than ours. Our liquid capital will increase significantly, and we can use it to do more projects with guaranteed profits."
An Jing gave him an OK gesture and smiled happily, saying, "Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll work overtime at the company tonight and guarantee to sell at the highest price tomorrow."
"Then it's all up to you," Tian Yi said, returning to his desk to handle other matters.
As An Jing was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask again, "Who wants to take over Xie Corporation? You should at least give me a hint."
