Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Upon hearing Yang Chu's analysis, Luo Yue asked without hesitation, "Then can you guess what they're going to do next?"

"What else can we do! Of course, we'll speculate on land. Xu Zhisen has already built almost all the land he acquired, and I own nearly half of the completed buildings. If Xu Zhisen wants to continue his activities in the real estate market, he needs to drive up the land prices first. Then, other real estate companies in Shanghai will have no choice but to follow in his footsteps. Although Xu Zhisen has hindered the country in Shanghai for quite some time, he hasn't hindered the Creek Group and the Argentine Group enough. Xu Zhisen is the one who has hindered the country, while Song Ningyu hasn't contributed anything. Therefore, in the coming period, both Song Ningyu and the Phyllis Group will accelerate their efforts to establish a company group and cooperate with Xu Zhisen."

Luo Yue was completely bewildered after hearing this. Rubbing her temples, she looked at Yang Chu and said, "Fine, fine! Forget I asked. How do you guys even have brains? You can connect so many things to just one Song Mingyu. I'm impressed! From now on, I think I'll just be your pretty face and earn a little pocket money."

Yang Chu rolled her eyes at Luo Yue and said, "Even if you want to be my pretty face, I don't want to!"

"Don't act innocent after getting the benefit! You can like my two older sisters, so why don't you like me?"

Yang Chu glanced at Luo Yue and said, "It's precisely because I already have two older sisters like you that I can't have another younger sister like you to be just a pretty face."

Just as Luo Yue was about to ask why, Jiang Lai reached out and placed her hand on Luo Yue's leg, shaking her head to signal Luo Yue to stop talking.

Yang Chu naturally noticed Jiang Lai's little actions, but he didn't say anything. He believed that Jiang Lai should understand why Yang Chu was unwilling to accept Luo Yue.

A few more days passed, and with Xu Zhisen's help, Song Ningyu established the Changyuan Group in Shanghai in a high-profile manner.

After Song Ningyu established the group company, he and Xu Zhisen often participated in land bidding. The two often cooperated, and regardless of whether they could win the land, they would drive up the price of the land.

Yang Chu had anticipated this situation, so he called Wang Jianwen in advance to explain the situation.

Old Wang's reply was: "As long as it's land acquired by Yang Chu and his group, it's all secretly traded at a reasonable price."

After receiving this reply, Yang Chu informed Jiang Haokun, Tan Zongming, and Lu Jin that the maximum premium for the land price was 20%. If the price exceeded this, Xu Zhisen and Song Ningyu would take over the land. If conditions allowed, they could take over at an even higher price.

Jiang Haokun, Tan Zongming, and Lu Jin were all intelligent men, so how could they not understand Yang Chu's meaning? Therefore, they also contacted the group companies that were close to them, secretly negotiated the price, and prepared to rip off Song Ningyu and Xu Zhisen.

Song Ningyu and Xu Zhisen weren't fools either. After being fooled a few times, they realized where Tan Zongming and his group's bottom line was.

After several more rounds, Tan Zongming guessed that Xu Zhisen knew where their bottom line was, so he adjusted the premium again. After several back-and-forths, Xu Zhisen and his group suffered a lot of losses.

Just after all the land parcels were auctioned off this year, Shanghai introduced new regulations: if a land parcel is acquired but construction has not started within three months or the building has not been topped out within six months, Shanghai will reclaim the ownership of the land and only refund half of the deposit.

Xu Zhisen and Song Ningyu were stunned when they heard the regulation. They had only intended to speculate on the land and then resell it, but after this regulation, they would definitely have to wait for their land to be taken back.

Jiang Haokun and Tan Zongming weren't worried about the land they owned. They had been established in Shanghai for many years, and it would be easy for them to transfer the land to others at a fair price. Besides, they had no intention of transferring it. The land they had acquired was more than enough to keep them busy!

Seeing that he had almost completely tricked Xu Zhisen and his group, Yang Chu informed Li Yeqing that they could now take action against the US Creek Corporation and the Argentine Corporation.

On the first day, when Yang Chu and Li Yeqing took action against the Creek Corporation, things were quite normal.

But things changed the next day. With the slightest move by Yang Chu and his team, Sequoia Capital's stock price fluctuated wildly.

Seeing this, Yang Chu quickly said to Li Yeqing, "Stop! I feel something is wrong."

Li Yeqing also sensed the problem. Eight billion yuan could cause Sequoia Capital's stock price to drop so drastically. Was Sequoia Capital just a paper shell, easily punctured?

After watching the stock market for a while, Yang Chu and Li Yeqing both guessed what was going on.

Yang Chu looked at Li Jialuo and said, "Investigate who else is targeting the Creek Corporation."

Li Jialuo nodded, and then began investigating with Li Shangluo and Li Leluo.

The results were in less than ten minutes, and Li Jialuo handed the tablet to Yang Chu with a strange expression.

After Yang Chu finished reading it, his face turned black.

"Wang Jianwen, An Yunshan, you two old bastards, you've schemed against me again."

Li Jialuo looked at Yang Chu awkwardly and said, "Sir, this should have nothing to do with them. Many people know that the country is in a standoff with the Creek Group and the Argentine Group. The reason why no action has been taken is because the situation in Shanghai is unclear. Sir, once you stabilize the situation in Shanghai, they will definitely want to take a piece of the flesh from the Creek Group and the Argentine Group."

Yang Chu glared at Li Jialuo and said, "You thought of this? How could I not? If I thought of it, how could those two old men, An Yunshan and Wang Jianwen, not have thought of it? An Yunshan and Wang Jianwen used me to stabilize the situation in Shanghai, and then set fire to the Crick and Argentine conglomerates. How could those in the country who covet the Argentine and Crick conglomerates not take advantage of the chaos?"

Looking at the results on the tablet, Yang Chu saw Zheng Hong Group in Beijing, Lanling Group in Nanjing, Feiyue Group in Shenzhen, and Yang Chu himself. With their combined funds, they could easily take down the Creek Group. Even with government intervention, they could cripple both the Creek Group and the Argentine Group, if not completely take them down.

Just as Yang Chu was getting angry, Jiang Lai and Yang Tao walked in with Xue Sumei.

Seeing that Yang Chu looked unwell, Jiang Lai quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Chu angrily handed the tablet to Jiang Lai and said, "See for yourself! I've been used as a pawn again."
