I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 414 Two Fools
Go to Shanghai.

A six-star hotel.

Song Ya held the instrument and was carefully checking the room for any eavesdropping or pinhole devices.

"Secretary Song, are you done with the inspection?"

"Mr. Ye, we've already checked it, and the suite is clean."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Ye, I'll head back now."

"Uh-huh."

Song Ya packed her things and left the suite.

Ye Li looked at Su Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and smoking.

"Hey, so this young master, I'm in charge of everything now. You've become a hands-off boss, haven't you?"

Su Cheng flicked her cigarette ash, revealing a big front tooth with a grin: "Hehe, what else?"

"You son of a bitch, you idiot?"

"What? You've made money, so you can't even laugh?"

Su Cheng had already directed the fleet to carry out a perfect evacuation without anyone noticing.

He personally leveraged 30 billion to raise 200 billion as an operating fund, while the total revenue of the fleet formed with Baolong and Atlantic was 1900 billion in cash.

According to the proportion, Su Cheng has already received half, which is 950 billion.

This is the net profit in hand.

As a single, readily available fund, its size is sufficient to make Su Cheng a force to be reckoned with in the market.

This sum exceeds the market capitalization of the vast majority of listed companies in the A-share market.

Su Cheng could easily gain control of a medium-to-large-sized listed company, or become a major shareholder in many large enterprises, and could even have a significant impact on the stock prices of some behemoth companies.

Take a mega-company like BlackRock, for example; it has only raised a little over $90 billion in the past five years.

Compared to such a mega-company, Su Cheng's 950 billion is only about 130 billion US dollars in size, so it can only be considered a medium-sized company.

However, it remains an important force that can influence a specific industry or a large corporation.

Su Cheng amassed hundreds of billions through this "economic bubble," giving him the capital to confront the elderly in certain regions.

The entire process took no more than two months.

It's much more direct than the laborious process of starting a business, dealing with all sorts of business operations, designs, plans, and promotions.

The profits at this scale are equivalent to the peak market value of 6 Weibo accounts, or 2 Bilibili accounts, or 40 Zhihu accounts, or 60 Douyu accounts.

If we're talking about companies similar to those that Su Cheng has contacted and participated in, it's roughly equivalent to 0.8 times the size of Dianping plus Meituan, which would allow him to achieve absolute control.

18 peak periods of Tantan.

Eight versions of "Soul" that are about to be released.

Two Luckin Coffees.

Su Cheng was calculating the market capitalization of these companies at their peak.

If Su Cheng were to personally take charge, it might take a little less time than what they needed to develop, but it wouldn't be by much less.

Let's compare "Heart Signal" with "Tantan"/"Soul".

These companies typically require three to five years of operation, and ten to eight years is the norm.

Moreover, Su Cheng needs to continuously dedicate all her time and energy during this period.

And now.

In less than two months, he earned nearly 100 billion yuan in profits from the market, or rather, from the old man.

Before Su Cheng could continue to boast about his achievements to Ye Li, there was a knock on the suite door.

Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning walked in with smiles on their faces.

The two of them are in a completely different state now than they were a few days ago.

Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning's core emotions are radiant, their faces displaying a wild and flamboyant smile unique to victors, and a smile that comes from the heart.

"President Su, President Ye."

"coming?"

"Yes, we came right after we got off the plane."

Su Cheng gestured for them to sit down.

"Have you taken the money?"

"Yes, yes, it's all safe!"

Yin Jiazhi maintained his impeccable attire.

But now, that usually calm and profound gaze has been replaced by a burning light.

A faint smile, tinged with immense satisfaction, unconsciously graced his lips as he reminisced about the fleet's sortie and withdrawal.

The outside world may have thought that Atlantic Bank had perfect risk control this time.

But only those within the group knew that Atlantic Bank was actually dancing a dance that Su Cheng had choreographed long ago on the edge of a knife!
As for Xu Ning...

His face was filled with complex emotions.

Excited.

I was terrified.

and many more……

But his eyes were sincere and passionate, and even a little moist.

Their excitement stemmed from the joy of a tremendous rebirth, from facing imminent annihilation to achieving extraordinary success.

When the Emperor Group entered the game, the two of them couldn't sleep for several days and nights, thinking that their lives were over.

But after they found Su Cheng as their pillar of support, they felt much more at ease.

Even as the fleet withdrew, they remained anxious, fearing any mishaps or accidents might occur.

This was actually a doomed situation.

The two even thought that Su Cheng would cut ties with them and let the Emperor Group make a lot of money.

until today.

The two safely put the money into their pockets.

Su Cheng not only rescued them from a hopeless predicament, but also led them to experience a higher-dimensional business world they had never imagined.

According to their shareholding ratio, the Yin family and the Xu family split the remaining 950 billion yuan equally, with each receiving a profit of 475 billion yuan.

This amount of money is roughly equivalent to that of the Ma family, who have been in business for decades.

They never imagined they could earn so much money in such a short time!
Besides profound respect, the two felt nothing but boundless gratitude towards Su Cheng.

Su Cheng could see that the surging energy within him and Xu Ning was almost bursting out of their bodies.

The two instinctively showed Su Cheng the utmost respect.

Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning warmly invited Su Cheng and Ye Li to visit Macau Island, promising to provide all kinds of services.

However, Su Cheng politely declined, as he had to stay in Shanghai and had other matters to attend to.

"I'll definitely go when I have time, and you can treat me then."

"No problem, Mr. Su!"

The two readily agreed.

Xu Ning then brought up the matter of the funds used to cover the fleet's withdrawal.

"Mr. Su, we feel that we cannot let you bear this cost alone."

"I've discussed it with Mr. Yin. You give me an account, and Mr. Yin and I will each transfer 1.5 billion to your account, for a total of 3 billion as compensation."

Su Cheng did not refuse the money.

He'll accept it if you give it to him.

"Okay, Mr. Ye will send you an account number later. You can transfer the money to the account he mentioned."

The two faced Ye Li again and expressed their endless apologies to her.

"Mr. Ye, we really didn't mean anything by it before, please don't misunderstand."

"In addition to compensating Mr. Su for the evacuation funds, we would like to offer you additional compensation. Is that alright?"

Ye Li had never been treated like this before.

It only happens when I'm working for Su Cheng.

I used to work at a consulting firm handling cases, and now I'm here.

Every single one of them involved a customer rushing to apologize and begging Su Cheng for something as a reward or compensation.

Today too.

The two men rushed to compensate her, adopting an extremely humble attitude.

Ye Li did not believe that this was the so-called "princeling of the Emperor Group" exerting pressure.

The Yin and Xu families have truly been fed up by Su Cheng; they're practically stuffed.

They'd be willing to do anything to make big money, even if it meant calling someone "father" or "mother."

Ye Li did not refuse and tacitly accepted their compensation.

She deserves some compensation.

It's because they kept yelling and nagging that day, bothering her.

After completing all the compensation measures, the two felt much more at ease.

But there is another important action.

That's about the Dihao Group.

Last night, Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning, along with their advisors, reviewed the transaction.

Based on the instructions given to them by Su Cheng, as well as their capital situation and market research, they conducted a detailed analysis. The market has already begun to decline, and there is virtually no possibility of a rebound.

The moment Su Cheng gave them the "retreat" order marked the peak of the entire event's economic impact.

This is not actually an economic bubble as initially claimed.

It's more like a short-term trade.

It has the size of an economic bubble and the potential for huge profits from short-term trading.

But whether they make money or not doesn't matter; what matters is that they made money.

It was actually put in my pocket.

The price started to rise when they entered the market.

The market started to fall when they left.

you could put it that way.

Su Cheng orchestrated this rise and fall.

They would call him: the god of market manipulation!
But there is a problem.

That is... the Emperor Group will suffer heavy losses in this "bubble".

This made the two of them feel very strange.

Even now, the Dihao Group has not withdrawn and is still aggressively acquiring properties.

They seemed completely unaware of the impending crisis.

"Nonsense." Su Cheng curled her lip. "If the Emperor Group had realized this, would we still be able to withdraw?"

Yin Jiazhi pressed further, "President Su? Is Emperor Group not withdrawing?"

Su Cheng shook her head: "I don't know."

in fact.

Even if the Emperor Group wanted to withdraw now, it couldn't.

The market has begun to decline.

If the old man wants to withdraw, he'll have to take a loss.

If we don't withdraw, we'll be stuck with nothing.

In short, the Dihao Group will lose a lot of money.

This is precisely what puzzled Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning.

They originally thought that the Emperor Group would make a fortune, and then they would lose everything.

But now it's completely reversed.

They made a profit, but the Emperor Group lost money?

This is somewhat illogical.

Money doesn't appear out of thin air in the market.

Where did this money come from?

Of course, it was earned from the Geely Group.

As for how much money the Emperor Group will lose?
It was no less than the total profits of their fleet.

In terms of relationships, Su Cheng is the successor of the Dihao Group.

If the Emperor Group loses money, then it's the same as Su Cheng losing money.

Almost all the buildings, land, and properties they sold off were taken over by the Dihao Group.

They're making money off the Emperor Group... which is essentially the same as making money off Su Cheng.

Since Su Cheng orchestrated this transaction, why didn't he warn the Emperor Group?

Even if we don't talk about making money, at least it will save the Dihao Group a lot of money from losing.

Su Cheng: ???
He was a little speechless.

Why are these two even concerned about the God's Fortune Group?

wrong.

What they were concerned about was the relationship between the Emperor Group and themselves.

Su Chengming did not tell them outwardly that he was the successor of the Emperor Group, but various facts and evidence have proven that he has a great relationship with the Emperor Group.

Su Cheng didn't explain it clearly, and neither did they.

But Su Cheng still wanted to curse: "Are you guys idiots? Why didn't you think of this before? Did you really just grit your teeth and retreat?"

"Now you're suddenly concerned?"

They were previously afraid of being besieged by the Emperor Group.

Now they're worried that the Emperor Group will lose money.

Oh shit.

How cheap.

"No, Mr. Su, that's not what we meant."

"Then what do you two mean? I told you the first time I approached you that this matter has nothing to do with the Emperor Group."

“How much money the Emperor Group loses is their business, why keep asking about it here.”

"Do I need to tell you how I do things?"

"If you really want me to tell you, this whole thing is a setup centered around the Emperor Group, right?"

The two were terrified by Su Cheng's tone: "President Su..."

But Su Cheng ignored him completely and waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, alright, alright, take the money and get out of here. I have other things to do."

"Okay, Mr. Su, please don't be angry. We'll leave now and won't bother you any longer."

Su Cheng's tone was rapid and urgent: "Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!"

The two quickly left the scene.

Ye Li looked at Su Cheng tentatively: "Are you really angry?"

"I'm not angry, it's just that these two idiots kept asking questions they already knew the answer to. They were so stupid, that's what made me angry."

"Hilarious." Ye Li chuckled. "What can we do? They just wanted to gossip a bit."

"These two idiots are infuriating."

"They're smart; they've adopted such a humble attitude that it's hard for you to criticize them."

"He's so despicable, he deserves to be cursed."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Su Cheng lit another cigarette: "But speaking of which, they seem to be quite afraid of you."

"Nonsense, are you afraid of me or not?"

"I'm scared, scared, scared."

"Oh, what are you afraid of? You're not afraid of me at all."

"Hey, Sister Chestnut, how did you know?"

"You're just teasing me when you say you're afraid of me."

"Oh, so you're very smart?"

Ye Li snorted coldly.

"Actually, I was thinking of going to Macau. You went there last time, but I didn't say anything when I saw you say you weren't going."

"Okay, then go have some fun. Consider it a vacation."

Ye Li has never taken many vacations.

From starting with Shengyue, to conducting research and investigations, then doing retail, and finally coming to help Su Cheng.

They basically work seamlessly, around the clock.

"Forget it, you have things to do, it's no fun for me to go alone."

"Okay then, let's go over and have some fun together when we have some free time."

"Row."

Ye Li was a little worried: "Won't your dad find out about you?"

"No, we did a very clean job."

Ye Li knew it was clean, but she was still a little worried.

Because at that level, the methods, infiltration, and information gathering capabilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Suppose you want to know something, and you can get all the information very quickly.

She and Su Cheng were even a little afraid of being overheard when they whispered to each other in the room.

I can already picture Su Tianyan wearing headphones, listening to her and Su Cheng's flirtatious audio clips.

Su Cheng reassured Ye Li, "It won't be that bad."

"Didn't you say before that your dad installed a hidden camera in your room or something? So I'm a little scared."

He explained to Ye Li:

"Yes, but that was when I was a child, and I only found out about it later."

"But it's gone now."

"Besides... what kind of father-in-law listens to his son and daughter-in-law talking through the window?"

"You can shout as loud as you want tonight, he won't hear you."

Ye Li: ???
What nonsense is Su Cheng spouting?!
I'll fucking beat you to death!
