Counterattack starts with controlling probability

A few days before the Universal Board of Directors voted on its future development strategy, Chen Qiming and Li Hao met in a secluded teahouse in Beijing.

Unlike the serious and cold Universal Headquarters, this place is filled with the aroma of tea, and is relaxed and quiet, perfect for Chen Qiming and Li Hao to discuss some strategies.

"My proposal this time," Chen Qiming began slowly, his voice low and serious, "has caused doubts among many people, especially since the recent Noah incident has affected Huanyu's reputation. Many directors believe this is a risk."

Li Hao nodded slightly after hearing this.

In fact, when Baiyan Capital issued the threat, he realized that this game was not only a business competition, but could even be called an all-out war.

Baiyan Capital's successive layouts are aimed at precisely attacking every core member and business of Noah, and are also intended to make Universal's supporters lose confidence.

"Mr. Chen, I understand that this situation has indeed put considerable pressure on Huanyu. However, I am confident that as long as we stabilize the company, we can definitely create counter-pressure in the market."

Li Hao looked determined, as if he was confident.

Chen Qiming nodded, but there was a hint of worry between his brows: "Having said that, the opposition in support of the proposal will be difficult to suppress, and it may even cause a chain reaction in the board of directors."

Li Hao was silent for a while.

At the same time, he called out to his heart: "Mr. Pi, given the current situation, what can we do?"

Lao Pi's voice sounded faintly in his mind, with a hint of cunning:

"It's a small matter. During this board meeting, you can arrange some 'unexpected' events to influence the key members who support Noah. Accidental events are just a subtle way to fuel the flames."

Li Hao nodded thoughtfully, then said to Chen Qiming, "Mr. Chen, I have a few trusted friends. Can you bring them to sit in on the board meeting? They might be able to lend a hand at a crucial moment."

Chen Qiming was a little confused, but still agreed to the arrangement.

Chen Qiming has always had extremely high expectations for Noah. He vaguely sensed that Li Hao was secretly arranging certain actions, so he did not ask any more questions.

A few days later, the board of directors of the Universal Group met as scheduled.

Although Baiyan Capital did not participate openly, everyone present vaguely felt a cold and oppressive atmosphere, as if this meeting was not just about discussing Noah's support, but a deeper game between Chen Qiming and his younger brother Chen Qihang.

Just before the meeting, Li Hao and Lao Pi quietly formulated a series of interference plans, silently thinking about the occurrence of some "low-probability events" in their minds.

Sure enough, the night before the meeting, a dissenting director was unable to attend due to an urgent family matter, while several supporters who had originally had unclear attitudes unexpectedly arrived early.

This sudden change caused Chen Qiming's mouth to slightly rise as he glanced at the conference table.

He knew that behind these "unexpected" arrangements was Li Hao's careful planning.

However, Chen Qihang spoke first at the beginning of the meeting. His words were calm, but each one was stinging: "Brother, I know you have confidence in Noah, but is this crisis really worth our continued investment? What if Noah Technology drags down the overall layout of Huanyu? How will we face the group's shareholders?"

Chen Qiming smiled faintly and responded calmly, "Huanyu's success lies in its courage to seize opportunities. Noah's growth potential, and Li Hao's recent response plan, are sufficient to prove that our investment direction is correct. The capital market is always turbulent, but opportunities and challenges coexist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qihang sneered and continued to say to the directors present: "Investing is one thing, but choosing the right target is another."

"Don't forget that Baiyan Capital has already threatened Noah. If we continue to get involved in Noah's affairs and a hostile takeover occurs, it won't just be a problem for Noah—the stability of Huanyu will also be affected.

"His eyes swept coldly towards Chen Qiming, not hiding his doubts and provocations towards his brother.

Chen Qiming's expression grew slightly colder. Just as he was about to speak, a dissenting director chimed in, "Mr. Qiming, I understand your passion for the tech industry, but Huanyu can't focus all its energy on a single potential risk. Mr. Qihang's warning is valid, and we must proceed with caution."

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Li Hao glanced at Chen Qihang and secretly clenched his fists.

This kind of straightforward questioning is exactly what Baiyan Capital hopes to see.

Chen Qihang has apparently won over some board members, causing them to doubt their support for Noah.

At this moment, a director who supported Noah broke his silence and spoke firmly: "Risks and rewards coexist. Supporting Noah is not a gamble, but rather it creates a new possibility for Huanyu. You know, if we miss this opportunity, we may never catch up with the market again."

Chen Qihang's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "Yes, supporting innovation can help the company move forward, but it must also be done under the premise of ensuring safety. And we are clearly taking unnecessary risks now."

Chen Qiming sneered and retorted, "Qihang, you should know that success is not 100% guaranteed. It is precisely because Huanyu dared to break through in the past that we have achieved our current status. Noah's potential is unquestionable. Giving up easily based on temporary public opinion is the real risk."

Chen Qihang remained unmoved, a sneer lingering on his lips. "Brother, perhaps your confidence in Noah has clouded your clear judgment of the family business. Besides, this time, we're not facing simple market competition, but multinational giants like Morga, Bloomberg, and White Rock Capital."

He paused, then added emphatically, "If the universe is in danger because of a decision you make, who will be held responsible for the loss?"

Chen Qiming smiled coldly and responded sharply, "Qihang, Huanyu has never relied on caution to gain a foothold. Our biggest disagreement lies in our judgment of the market. Your concept of 'safety' will only hold Huanyu back. We must forge our own path, rather than cowering under the rules of others."

At this point, another director stood up and broke the deadlock.

He said with a hint of concern, "Mr. Qiming, Mr. Qihang is right. We need to strike a balance between risk-taking and conservatism. Perhaps we should be more cautious and reconsider this investment."

Chen Qiming took a deep breath. He realized that in the current situation, he had to break Chen Qihang's tricks with a more persuasive attitude.

He raised his voice and said, "I don't deny that Noah's support carries risks, but it's precisely this choice that will prevent Huanyu from being eliminated by the market. Huanyu's future lies in innovation, not fear of challenge. If we retreat because of concerns about temporary turmoil, how will Huanyu face the future?"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, several directors who had previously remained silent suddenly stood up and expressed their support for Chen Qiming: "I support President Qiming! Huanyu's past has proven his judgment, and we have no reason to doubt it!"

"We cannot waver under the current circumstances. If we miss Noah's opportunity, we will miss the future of the universe!"

Seeing that the voices of support gradually overwhelmed the opposition, Chen Qihang's face became increasingly gloomy.

His eyes swept coldly over everyone present, as if warning them.

Chen Qiming, however, showed no sign of weakness. He met his gaze and said calmly, "Qihang, I understand your concerns, but if stability comes at the cost of sacrificing the future, I will never accept it."

Finally, the voting session began in a tense atmosphere.

The moment the result was announced, a hint of unconcealable anger flashed in Chen Qihang's eyes.

Although he tried his best to win over a large number of people, he still failed to surpass Chen Qiming's number of votes.

After the meeting, Chen Qiming gave Chen Qihang a meaningful look and said coldly, "Qihang, the universe is not something that anyone can manipulate at will."

Chen Qihang just snorted coldly, packed up the documents, and left the meeting room without looking back.

……

As night falls, the lights in Baiyan Capital's office are brightly lit.

Chen Qihang stood by the window, his eyes slightly narrowed, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city through the glass.

Standing next to him was the Asia-Pacific head of White Rock Capital.

The two exchanged a tacit look with a hint of sneer on their faces.

"This time, Li Hao actually gained the upper hand at the Universal Shareholders' Meeting! Now, we must make sure that Noah Technology and New Star Investment have no chance of resistance."

Chen Qihang said in a low voice, with a cold tone in his voice.

The head of Baiyan Capital nodded. "Li Hao is indeed difficult to deal with, but we have our own plans. Next, we will gradually dismantle Noah's capital structure and cause it to collapse from the inside out."

Their plan was not complicated and could be described as an open conspiracy, but the clever part was that Baiyan Capital took advantage of human weaknesses and greed, and was meticulous in every step, especially targeting Li Hao's weaknesses and Noah's key resources.

First, they planned to bypass normal market transactions and directly infiltrate Noah's small and medium shareholders, gradually winning over and acquiring their shares, dispersing their controlling rights, and gradually weakening Li Hao's absolute control.

The head of Baiyan Capital sneered, "Many of Noah Technology's small shareholders only care about returns. Even if Li Hao officially expressed his stance at the meeting, loyalty is just a bargaining chip when it comes to soliciting private work from them. As long as we can afford it, they will be happy to work for us."

"Furthermore, we've also arranged for public opinion," Chen Qihang added, a sly glint in his eyes. "Our public relations department has already contacted several well-known financial media outlets and will publish some negative reports at the appropriate time. We'll be exposing Noah's performance issues and capital chain pressures. Once public pressure builds, investors will naturally lose confidence and sell their shares."

The head of White Rock Capital immediately chimed in, "Not only that, we're also considering using technology to create market volatility. If Noah's valuation fluctuates even slightly during this critical period, early investors will panic and flee, and we can seize the opportunity to buy in. Once we control the stock price, we can then use capital manipulation to force Li Hao to back down."

Chen Qihang smiled faintly. "This way, Li Hao will gradually lose the initiative and may even be forced out. Without his support, Noah and New Star Investment will no longer be competitive."

At this moment, the person in charge added, "In addition, we have reached cooperation with several multinational investment funds. They will mobilize funds to jointly exert pressure at critical moments. This way, even if Li Hao uses some emergency measures to stabilize the situation, it will be powerless. We will trap him in an endless siege of capital until he is dragged down."

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Qihang's mouth rose slightly.

For many years, he endured silently and was always inferior to his brother. Now he finally found an opportunity to fight back.

He not only wants to seize control of the universe, but also wants to destroy the future of Li Hao and Noah.

He slowly walked back to the table, picked up a glass of red wine, raised the glass coldly, and his eyes revealed a hint of fierceness.

"Here's to our cooperation, and to Noah's impending fate."
