Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Dad, you want me to apologize to them? You might as well kill me. They definitely won't forgive me."

Lin Xuan immediately became anxious when he heard that he was to apologize to Meng Chuan and Liu Qian.

He knew very well that his previous actions had offended Meng Chuan and Liu Qian to the point of no return.

Even if he were to run off and beg for forgiveness now, he would only be asking for trouble and would have no chance of being forgiven.

"You bastard, if my Lin Group falls, you'll feel worse than if you were dead."

Lin Zhongyue glared angrily and shouted loudly.

"dad……"

Lin Xuan panicked.

"listen to me."

Lin Zhongyue roared and began to explain:

"Liu Fu should now know that it was we who released the news that his Liu Group was facing a cash shortage, which caused the suppliers to panic."

"But he has no evidence, so he can only use Meng Chuan to target my Lin Group."

"Liu Fu didn't personally show up, which means he doesn't want to go to war with my Lin Group to the death. Or maybe his Liu Group is in trouble now and doesn't have the absolute strength to fight us to the death."

Having navigated the business world for many years, Lin Zhongyue was quite adept at understanding these things. He felt that his analysis was almost certainly correct.

"Dad! Since you know it's that old bastard Liu Fu who's behind this, why don't you just go talk to him directly? Why do you insist that I apologize to Meng Chuan?"

Lin Xuan said with a mournful face.

"Are you brain-dead? Can't you see? How could I have given birth to such a useless thing like you!"

Lin Zhongyue was furious again. He raised his hand as if to hit him, but stopped halfway through the swing.

After all, even if Lin Xuan were killed now, it wouldn't solve the Lin Group's urgent crisis.

The most urgent task is to pull the Lin Group back from the brink of bankruptcy; that is the most important thing right now.

“Listen to me carefully. That old fox Liu Fu may have mortgaged the entire Liu Group to raise money to manipulate my Lin Group’s stock.”

"But he didn't want to perish together with my Lin Group, so he didn't make any overt moves."

"If I go directly to Liu Fu, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that I was the one who took down his Liu Group?"

"He'll definitely try to rip me off when the time comes."

"But if you portray it as a conflict between you younger generation, there's still room for maneuver."

"You go apologize first. Whether it works out or not, I'll step in to mediate. That way, our two families won't have to fall out."

Lin Xuan was confused. How could he, a young master, possibly understand the intricacies of these old foxes' schemes all at once?

However, he did understand one thing: he had to apologize to that poor kid Meng Chuan, or he would suffer the consequences.

"Hurry up and go. If you can't get Meng Chuan's forgiveness, your life of debauchery will be over, and my Lin family will be completely finished."

Seeing that Lin Xuan was still in a daze, Lin Zhongyue couldn't help but shout again.

"Oh! I'll go right away, I'll go right away."

Lin Xuan shuddered in fright, quickly agreed, and slunk away from Lin Zhongyue's office.

But as soon as he stepped outside, his face contorted into a ferocious expression, and he muttered under his breath through gritted teeth:

"Meng Chuan, Liu Qian, you just wait. Once this is over, I'll deal with you. Especially Liu Qian, I'll make you pay. Damn it!"

Lin Xuan, this rich second-generation, values ​​his appearance the most and lacks the magnanimity to tolerate others.

But the thought that without the Lin Group, his carefree days would be over...

There was no other way but to listen to my dad for now.

He ran to the bathroom, took a few deep breaths, and braced himself to dial Liu Qian's number.

Meanwhile, inside the Lin family villa, Liu Qian sat next to Meng Chuan, asking with a worried expression:

"How's it going? Aren't you worried about getting your money tied up?"

"It's alright, it's already past three o'clock, the market has closed and trading has stopped. The real show won't start until tomorrow."

Meng Chuan exited the computer screen, looking relaxed.

Liu Qian was touched, but she couldn't help but say with heartache:

"Meng Chuan, you really didn't need to do this. Is it worth it just to vent your anger?"

Meng Chuan's actions just now, although they dealt a heavy blow to the Lin Group, also resulted in a loss of 500 million yuan for him.

After all, Meng Chuan had initially spent a lot of money buying shares of the Lin Group in order to attract more investment. Later, the stock market crashed, and those 500 million yuan went down the drain.

Liu Qian knew that Meng Chuan was rich now, but 500 million was no small sum. How could he just lose it so easily?

"It's worth it to exchange 500 million for the land in the provincial capital owned by the Lin Group."

Meng Chuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Isn't the land belonging to the Lin Group going to become a key protected waterway? You..."

Liu Qian looked puzzled.

She could hear Meng Chuan calling Zhang Jie perfectly clearly.

Could it be that Meng Chuan deliberately released a smokescreen?

That won't do; that's spreading rumors and you'll be held legally responsible.

"That area is indeed the habitat of the Yangtze finless porpoise, and as this continues to spread online, experts will soon confirm this. However, things may change later."

Meng Chuan gave an ambiguous explanation.

This news was originally scheduled to break six months later, in the second half of the year, at which point the Lin Group would be on the verge of bankruptcy.

But later, experts made a new discovery, saying that those finless porpoises have migratory habits.

Normally, their migration route is the Gan River, but in recent years, due to inadequate ecological protection and severe pollution of the Gan River, they have migrated to the moat.

However, the moat is not actually suitable for the long-term growth and reproduction of finless porpoises.

Therefore, not long after the New Year, the state designated the Ganjiang River as a key protected water area, vigorously carried out ecological restoration, and reintroduced the Yangtze finless porpoise into the Ganjiang River.

As a result, the Lin Group almost went bankrupt, but then it made a comeback, with its stock soaring and completely leaving the Liu Group behind.

However, Meng Chuan is determined not to let history repeat itself; he is determined to get that piece of land in the provincial capital.

It's 2014 now, the real estate market hasn't collapsed yet, and the outlook is very promising.

Moreover, it's riverside land, so it's sure to develop into a bustling commercial street in the future.

Even if the real estate industry declines in the future, this commercial street will definitely be highly sought after, with rooms in high demand.

Of course, Meng Chuan couldn't tell Liu Qian any of this, otherwise his ability to foresee the future would be inexplicable.

Just as Liu Qian was about to ask more questions, her phone suddenly rang.

When Liu Qian took it out, she was surprised to see that it was a call from Lin Xuan.

"This……"

Liu Qian handed the phone screen to Meng Chuan.

The fact that Lin Xuan called at this time must be related to the Lin Group's stock.

Whether to accept the call or not is up to Meng Chuan to decide.

After all, although this matter started because of Liu Qian, it has now developed into a war between Meng Chuan and the Lin family.

"Answer it! See what he says."

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. Liu Qian then pressed the answer button.

"Hello Ms. Liu, this is Lin Xuan. Is Meng Chuan with you?"

Lin Xuan forced a smile, but inside he was seething with hatred.

He couldn't contact Meng Chuan at all. Meng Chuan's new phone was a gift from Zhang Jie, and Liu Qian didn't even have time to get Lin Xuan's number yet, let alone anyone else.

"Lin Xuan, I'm warning you, if you have any problems, come at me. If you dare to touch Meng Chuan, I will never let you off the hook."
