With Wen Jingchuan agreeing to the integration, the plan was able to be implemented.

That evening, news that shook the entire Lianke Group spread – the company was facing a funding shortfall and was about to go bankrupt.

Furthermore, I've heard rumors that the board of directors has approved the bankruptcy plan, at which point all of Linko's employees will be integrated into Tenglong Group.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every employee within hours.

"Holy crap, Xiao Liu, have you heard? Our company is going bankrupt???"

"I've heard about it, but it's probably false. Although the group has been under a lot of pressure these past few days, it's far from going bankrupt, right?"

"I don't think it's fake. Think about it, if it were fake, the higher-ups would have stopped it long ago. But look at us now, has any of the higher-ups come out?"

"No way, could it really be true? Should we start preparing now?"

Scenes like this played out repeatedly at LinkTech. When news of its collapse came, many employees began to plan for their own future.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Linko can't hold on any longer, and there's no reason for them to die with Linko.

In order to completely keep the plan a secret from Qualcomm and other companies, the entire plan was known only to Wen Jingchuan, Ye Xianshuang, and Lu Feng.

The rest, including the president, didn't know whether the matter was true or false.

The president's office used to be Han Heng's place, but with Jia Yikun's downfall, Han Heng, Jia Yikun's number one henchman, was also purged immediately.

He was fired on the spot and sued by Lianke for allegedly embezzling company funds by abusing his position.

Therefore, this office now belongs to Wen Jingchuan.

His original office became Lu Feng's workspace.

"Chairman Wen, has our Lianke company really come to this?"

President Zhang Boyu looked sallow, listless, and dejected.

A few days ago, Han Heng was arrested, and he, as the vice president, was successfully promoted to president. He originally thought he could finally make a name for himself.

As it turned out, before he could even settle into his CEO position, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy!

Seeing his trusted confidant's state, Wen Jingchuan felt a pang of pity and opened his mouth to recount what had happened. However, remembering Lu Feng's death order, all he could say in the end was a sigh.

[Boyu, don't blame me. This matter concerns the very survival of Lianke. I have to be responsible for the entire company, so I can only ask you to put up with this for now!]

“Boyu, I know this is a big blow to you and all the employees of Lianke, but it’s really true.”

“The suppression we faced from those groups far exceeded your imagination. Even with Chairman Lu’s help, it was still difficult for us to withstand it.”

"So, we discussed it and decided that instead of stubbornly resisting, we should end it sooner rather than later. This way, we can give the company's employees more compensation!"

Wen Jingchuan's voice was low, and his emotions were clearly written on his face.

This sigh wasn't feigned; it came from his very heart.

Although the collapse of Linkcore is fake, the merger with Tenglong is real. In a few days, the Linkcore Group will no longer exist in the world.

He is no longer the chairman of Linko.

"Chairman Wen..."

Zhang Boyu was also affected by Wen Jingchuan's emotions. Looking at the man in front of him, a wave of sympathy welled up in him.

Yes, with LinkTech going bankrupt, how could his sorrow compare to that of the chairman?

If we're talking about Linkage going bankrupt, the person in front of me must be the most heartbroken.

"Alright, Boyu, stop being so wishy-washy. Chairman Lu has promised me that he will take over all of Lianke's employees!"

"I've secured a great position for you, just below the president and vice president!"

Wen Jingchuan waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Boyu's next words: "You can go out now, I want to be alone!"

Upon hearing this, even though he had a thousand words in his heart, Zhang Boyu slowly retreated.

..........

News of Linkcore's impending collapse spread rapidly. Meanwhile, Bert Zaka, Qualcomm's mole within Linkcore, was not idle and immediately reported the news to Chairman Lehman Monroe.

"Chairman, this is the situation. What should we do now?"

In the hotel room, Bertzaka feigned a worried expression.

On the other end of the phone, Lyman Monroe was stunned when he heard this.

What do you mean Linktronics can't hold on? No, isn't Linktronics a chip empire of similar size to Qualcomm?

Is it really that easy to give up?

His business instincts told him that there must be something fishy going on.

"Bert Zaka, don't panic. This could very well be a scheme orchestrated by Wen Jingchuan and Lu Feng to scare Qualcomm away!"

"You keep an eye on them, and remember, don't miss a single decision they make!"

He spoke into his phone in a deep voice, his words filled with the suspicion of an old fox.

Mr. Lu is right, simple tricks really won't fool this guy!

Bertzaka muttered a sentence to himself, then nodded in agreement:

"Please rest assured, Chairman, I will keep a close eye on them and not let any useful information slip by."

This ends the call.

At Qualcomm headquarters, Lyman Monroe, having hung up the phone, fell into deep thought.

As Linko's competitor, he knew Linko's strength better than anyone else; it was a truly comprehensive business empire.

Even if the news of the bankruptcy came from a Qualcomm board member, he wouldn't believe it.

"Ding!"

To verify his suspicions, he decisively pressed the intercom and summoned his secretary, asking her to help him compile some recent plans targeting Linko.

A moment later, the secretary came over carrying a thick stack of documents.

Lyman Monroe took it, put on his glasses, and examined it carefully.

As it turned out, he was shocked by what he saw; the layers of blockades and obstacles made his scalp tingle.

They jointly locked down the four main channels—raw materials, technical personnel, equipment, and sales channels—leaving no gaps.

And this doesn't even take into account price wars or underhanded tactics like smear campaigns.

Such a terrifying lineup is something that LinkTech couldn't handle, not to mention Qualcomm, or even any other company.

"So, Linko's situation was already this dangerous!"

Lyman Monroe put down the documents in his hand, a smug smile playing on his lips.

Leading the charge in bringing a trillion-dollar business empire to the brink of bankruptcy undoubtedly adds another brilliant chapter to his already illustrious resume.

"Since even the chip empire Linktronics can't hold on, Tenglong's situation will probably be even worse."

"Lu Feng, I'd like to see how you're going to fight me this time!"
