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

Chapter 419 Bai Xiang and Su Cheng Confront Each Other

After leaving the garden.

Bai Zihua had mixed feelings.

Long Ruoli's promotion to K1 in the group signifies that her power within the group has reached its peak.

Correspondingly, President Su intends to have Long take over the "succession plan".

Old Su's trust in Long Ruoli has surpassed his trust in him.

Bai Zihua knew he couldn't make such a horizontal comparison, but that was the reality.

Mr. Su is really confused now.

How could he hand over the entire group and the poverty alleviation plan to Long Ruoli?
Their most urgent task now is to immediately halt the "poor upbringing" plan, and then have President Su personally pave the way for Xiao Cheng within the group, ideally by directly selecting a suitable team for Xiao Cheng as a transition of power.

This is exactly what Mr. Su should have done during his last few years of lucidity.

If the group and the succession plan are handed over to Long Ruoli, who knows what will happen next?
Long Ruoli was only flattering Old Su. How could Old Su judge that she was following his ideas in other aspects based on Long Ruoli's flattery?

To put it bluntly.

What if Mr. Su becomes completely unconscious or passes away tomorrow?

Can Long Ruoli keep those people in the group in check?
Will those people be convinced?
Let's set aside the question of whether internal chaos will erupt within the group, leading to its disintegration.

Assuming Long Ruoli has the ability to control that group of people, will she eventually agree to hand over power to Su Cheng?
Why can't Mr. Su understand this point?

Bai Zihua was caught in a struggle and a dilemma.

He was wondering whether he should tell Xiaocheng everything directly.

Facing President Su and Long Ruoli, Bai Zihua was now isolated and helpless, with no good cards to play.

unless.

Let Xiaocheng know the truth.

He instructed Xiao Cheng to systematically reveal his secrets to Boss Su.

Or rather, the two cooperated from the inside out to complete the so-called "succession plan" on the surface.

The problem is, Long Ruoli will definitely interfere.

The dragon now wields immense power, and she is fully capable of exerting significant pressure on these plans.

In addition, Bai Zihua was also very worried.

If he tells Xiaocheng the truth, will he go insane before he even gets to the point of fighting the dragon?

You should know that the Zhang family and the Su family are not the same.

Zhang Yangwen was able to accept it easily, while Xiao Cheng's "education" was much more impoverished.

To be precise, Xiao Cheng suffered artificially inflicted pain, which makes it even harder for him to let go of it.

If I tell Xiaocheng, who is not prepared, without any prior warning, will he break down because of this?

Will he refuse to accept the role of successor to the Emperor Group?
Will people question his lineage and his father? Will he act impulsively and confront Old Su directly?

He had no answers to these questions.

But Bai Zihua believed he had to give it a try.

Otherwise, if all the passages are blocked by Long Ruoli, Xiao Cheng will truly become a caged bird.

The best outcome would be for Long Ruoli to take Xiao Cheng to social events every day, pointing at her and telling everyone that she was an intangible cultural heritage left to her by President Su, making her a laughing stock worldwide.

If any step in this matter goes wrong, it will be utterly disastrous.

But Bai Zihua still wants to try his best.

Long Ruoli now holds the biggest trump card: President Su.

He will need to employ more skillful card-playing techniques and strategies to avoid the brunt of this trump card.

Bai Zihua's next opponents are Old Su's power and Long Ruoli's wisdom.

This puts a lot of pressure on him.

It's like walking a tightrope on a precipice.

We must be both careful and bold!
He returned to his tea room.

A woman with a strong sense of being a married woman was already waiting for him in the tea room.

Song Ya.

She was Bai Zihua's mole and informant planted next to Su Cheng, responsible for providing him with information about Su Cheng.

"Mr. Bai."

"Well, sit down."

Bai Zihua has been staying in the garden for the past two days, without any contact with outside intelligence or news.

Only after he left the garden did he have the opportunity to access the latest intelligence that Song Ya had obtained.

"Mr. Bai, please take a look."

Song Ya brought Bai Zihua recent relevant data and transaction reports.

Bai Zihua carefully browsed through the data and transaction records.

A large portion of these were accounts that Su Cheng had never shown to outsiders, obtained by Song Ya through illegitimate means.

These accounts and data show that Su Cheng handled a large amount of cash flow that did not belong to Li Cheng Capital, and the main transaction partner was an offshore holding capital company.

If you trace these companies further through the layers of shell companies, you'll find that they are either part of the leveraged accounts of the Baolong Group or connected to the firewall of the Atlantic Bank.

Although there is no direct evidence that Su Cheng did business with the Xu and Yin families, the data doesn't lie, and the facts don't lie either.

Song Ya informed Bai Zihua that two nights ago, Su Cheng secretly met with Yin Jiazhi and Xu Ning at the hotel, and she also helped Su Cheng find the surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices in the room.

It's unclear what they discussed in detail, but given that they've gathered together several times, Bai Zihua doesn't believe the three of them haven't taken any action.

It's perfectly normal for there to be cash inflows outside of Chestnut Capital in the accounts.

Su Cheng must have received a lot of kickbacks in Australia, which was tacitly approved by both him and Long.

Therefore, Bai Zihua reasonably speculates that in addition to its overt business, such as Chestnut Capital, Su Cheng has other hidden businesses and actively participated in this "economic bubble".

Bai Zihua is not currently in a case-solving or court trial, and therefore does not require substantial evidence.

As long as the logical chain can be closed, Bai Zihua can simply conclude that Su Cheng's behavior is correct.

From the data point of view.

Su Cheng's funds also appear to have been invested in the real estate industry.

However, Su Cheng participated very early and left very early, which did not seem like a dynamic of trying to participate in the economic bubble at all, but rather like a short-term transaction.

But it turns out.

Su Cheng's approach was correct.

This "economic bubble" is not actually an economic bubble, but rather resembles futures with strong financial attributes.

Whether it's futures or long-term trading.

Bai Zihua didn't want to see Su Cheng suffer losses in this economic fluctuation.

But data shows that he was overthinking it.

Su Cheng not only did not suffer losses, but actually made a lot of money.

In terms of the scale of funds, Su Cheng leveraged at least seven times.

This is an extremely bold move in the business world.

Bai Zihua couldn't help but think.

At some point, Su Cheng had already become more radical than him.

Su Cheng's willingness to leverage seven times in the business world demonstrates his strong will and reveals a certain boldness within him.

This provided a prerequisite for all of Bai Zihua's previous ideas.

Bai Zihua asked Song Ya, "Can you guarantee that this data is accurate?"

“I can guarantee it.” Song Ya confirmed that her source was accurate. “In addition, Mr. Bai, based on the size of Mr. Su’s money and the timing of his cashing out, I conservatively estimate that Mr. Su can generate more than three times the profit in the market.”

Bai Zihua suddenly realized something.

The idea is somewhat absurd, and also a little terrifying.

However, logically speaking, this possibility does exist.

That is... Su Cheng orchestrated this "economic bubble." In reality, President Su, or rather the fleet of the Emperor Group, should not have lost money, but due to Su Cheng's cashing out and leaving, the market fell into chaos, and the bubble collapsed before it even inflated.

In other words.

Mr. Su's judgment was actually correct.

However, Su Cheng's methods were more sophisticated and her techniques more covert, thus achieving the effect of deceiving everyone.

The Emperor Group should have had trillions of yuan in profits, but Su Cheng snatched them all and made a fortune.

There can only be one winner in the market.

Su Cheng.

Who said that Xiao Cheng doesn't have the ability to command large-scale battles?
It wasn't just a lucky guess at all!

This is pure skill!

Why didn't Su Cheng let the bubbles blow up?

Bai Zihua deduced that Su Cheng may have initially wanted to participate in the bubble, but due to the entry of the Emperor Group, the pie he could get became smaller and smaller. In the end, relying on his early entry advantage, he directly smashed the whole pie.

The result is.

Su Cheng has earned at least tens of billions.

However, the Emperor Group's fleet suffered losses of hundreds of billions.

The group is currently tied up in so many properties that they won't be able to sell them for at least eight to ten years.

This is all cash that is constantly depreciating, and it's also the cash flow of the Dihao Group.

Even the lowest interest rate for bank savings is higher than this; I don't know when I'll be able to break even.

Bai Zihua seemed to understand.

Unwittingly, Xiao Cheng and Mr. Su engaged in a business contest on the same battlefield.

More importantly... Old Su was actually the loser.

With a small amount of capital, Su Cheng became a powerful figure who controlled the entire economic bubble.

That's amazing.

If you put him on the field, he absolutely cannot do that.

He believed that even President Su would find it difficult to do so.

The news that Song Ya brought to Bai Zihua greatly boosted his confidence in confronting Su Cheng.

"Also, Mr. Bai, there's one more thing."

"Mr. Long met with Ms. Su twice at Chestnut Capital."

"She used a secret account to inject two billion yuan into Mr. Su's offshore account."

Long Ruoli?
Long's behavior immediately alerted Bai Zihua.

His first thought was: Could it be that Long has already formed an alliance with Xiao Cheng?

If that's the case, then Xiaocheng has fallen for it.

However, based on the subsequent information provided by Song Ya, Bai Zihua gradually rejected this idea.

Long's investment was made almost a month ago, before Old Su's illness relapsed and before she was promoted to K1.

Long had no motive to tell Xiaocheng the truth.

unless……

Unless Long Ruoli wants to prevent herself from leaking information to Xiao Cheng, so she leaks it to Su Cheng in advance to gain the "first impression" buff.

If she does that, it would be like destroying her own foundation.

Su Cheng knew the truth, and for her, it was clearly more harmful than beneficial.

Therefore, Bai Zihua deduced that Long would most likely not do that.

The only explanation for Long's investment in Su Cheng is that Long wants Xiao Cheng to help her make money.

Since Long heard President Su's comprehensive and detailed analysis at the time and had great faith in Su Cheng's abilities, he must have invested with this mindset, right?

"Okay, I see."

Although Long had served by President Su's side for many years, she didn't actually end up with much of the assets.

Take, for example, the Emperor Fleet recently established by President Su.

If they really make money, then not a single penny will go to the dragon.

Knowing this inside information, the dragon naturally couldn't resist getting a piece of the pie.

However, she couldn't ask Old Su directly for it, so she could only ask Xiao Cheng to help her earn money.

Long Ruoli has the word "profit" etched into her mind; so far, the most common tactic she has used on Su Cheng is exploitation.

But now.

It seems that Long Ruoli no longer needs money.

After she was promoted to K1, she had countless ways to make money, and Bai Zihua could talk about them for hours.

Bai Zihua told Song Ya to keep an eye on things, and then quietly saw her off.

After he sat down, he began to rethink how to confront Xiao Cheng and how to get Xiao Cheng to confront Old Su.

First, there's President Su's side.

He felt it necessary to report all the information about Su Cheng's operations to President Su.

Because this is a demonstration of ability.

First, Su Cheng can gain great praise.

Secondly, it can help Mr. Su not be so grief-stricken and feel that his perception was flawed, since Mr. Su's judgment itself was not wrong.

Third, Su Cheng will gain a very strong reputation and influence with Old Su.

But there are also downsides.

That means President Su might accuse Xiao Cheng of harming the Dihao Group and causing significant losses to the group.

Especially towards their former employers, they show absolutely no loyalty.

of course.

Bai Zihua still believes that telling President Su the truth was a good decision.

Even if President Su criticizes Xiao Cheng, he can defend Xiao Cheng, saying that Xiao Cheng did not know in advance that the Emperor Group would enter the market and directly start the competition.

This precisely demonstrates that Xiaocheng possesses exceptional foresight and judgment.

For Mr. Su now...

Ability is far more important than morality, character, and temperament.

He's been working with President Su for so many years and was deeply involved in the "poor upbringing" program; he knows President Su all too well.

What Mr. Su wants now is a qualified successor.

A successor who will not shrink the business empire of the Emgrand Group and will always maintain its leading global position.

As for issues of temperament and morality, those were no longer Su Tianyan's focus at this moment.

Bai Zihua already had a preliminary plan in mind.

He needs to find a way to let President Su know.

It doesn't matter even if Long Ruoli is present.

It was Long Ruoli who first revealed his wolfish ambitions, so don't blame him for taking ruthless measures next.

Bai Zihua will try to do anything as long as the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

This matter is a typical example of a topic that has received both praise and criticism.

As long as it helps Xiao Cheng, Bai Zihua is willing to go all out.

He will try to do things that he wouldn't have dared to do before.

He will try to say things that he didn't dare to say before.

It's just starting a war.

Come on then.
