Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Young Master, Canon has backed down! They want to use their domestic shares to offset 1600 billion in debt!"

The whale hunter's voice on the phone was filled with barely concealed excitement.

Canon primarily shorted the aluminum industry, yet aluminum stocks are now hitting their daily limit almost every day.

The price has now reached a high of 45 yuan per share.

Previously, the price at which Canon shorted the stock was only 18 yuan, and this price has more than doubled.

Canon now owes Meng Chuan 1600 billion yen in debt.

Canon has established multiple legal entities in China since 1997.

This includes types such as production, research and development, and sales.

Its total market value is only around 2000 billion.

However, market capitalization is one thing, but Canon doesn't actually have 2000 billion yuan in cash in China.

He could only repay Meng Chuan's 1600 billion yuan if he sold off the entire Canon (China) company.

As for Nikon, it has not yet proactively approached Whale Hunting.

But Nikon owes Meng Chuan more money than Canon does.

It will require a total of 1800 billion.

Nikon's total market capitalization in China is less than Canon's.

Clearly, Nikon is even less able to repay its debts.

However, they still have to repay the debt.

If they dare to renege on their promises, all their assets in China will be frozen.

They will be added to the blacklist and will never be able to do business in China again.

They would find it difficult to move an inch even in other countries around the world.

Their malicious short-selling of the Chinese stock market has been confirmed, and their image on the global stage has been damaged.

If they become defaulters again, they will only be able to retreat to a small, isolated place.

They'll never be able to leave their tiny country again in this lifetime.

“Tell Canon, no way. I only want cash, no discussion.”

Meng Chuan said in a very firm tone.

Meng Chuan certainly didn't want cash.

But we must be firm in our stance.

It would be best to push them to their limit and make them do something rash.

This will be beneficial for subsequent negotiations.

"Understood. If Nikon..."

The whale hunter asked cautiously.

“If Nikon comes to me, I will tell them the same thing: even if they give me their entire company in China, I won’t take it. I only want cash.”

Meng Chuan said firmly.

"I understand."

"The whale hunter said."

Although he didn't quite understand, he had to do as Meng Chuan said!

"Okay! Keep pushing the price up. Even though their accounts are now unlocked, I don't want them to be able to buy a single stock."

Meng Chuan said.

Canon and Nikon now want to return the shares they borrowed from Meng Chuan.

There are only two ways: one is to buy an equivalent number of shares from the market and return them to Meng Chuan.

One option is to settle the debt with cash.

If Meng Chuan had bought up all the shares in circulation on the market.

Then their only option is to pay off their debts with cash.

The longer they delay, the more they will have to repay, which will be detrimental to them.

Therefore, as long as the stock price keeps rising, they are the ones who will panic.

Even if Meng Chuan demands an exorbitant amount, they will have no choice but to accept it.

Otherwise, they will only lose more.

After concluding his conversation with the whale hunter, Prince Fu immediately resumed Meng Chuan's regular training.

The so-called conventional training naturally refers to the "hundred paces, one shot" technique.

Prince Fu instructed Meng Chuan to continue practicing with a hand gripper and doing horse stance exercises, among other things.

These are also the most tiring.

Meng Chuan was once again turned into a dead dog.

Meanwhile, at Goldman Sachs, located far across the ocean...

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Henry Goldman was furious.

His son, Blood Blade, has disappeared.

Even the bodyguards he sent to protect Bloodblade have disappeared.

He had his bodyguards take the critically wounded and dying Blood Blade to Singapore, and then from Singapore to the United States.

Several days have passed, and the people he arranged to meet him in Singapore have still not seen Blood Blade.

Now, all the assassins he sent to China to capture Meng Chuan and his family have also gone missing.

The kind where the person is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.

"Master, could they already be..."

An elderly man who looked like a butler said.

"Impossible. That Meng Chuan is just an ordinary person. Besides, as far as I know, none of the wealthy and powerful families in China would train a Deadpool."

Henry Goldman said with certainty.

Goldman Sachs has been deeply rooted in China for many years.

They have a good understanding of China's upper echelons.

China's top social class are almost all honest and law-abiding business people.

Even someone as wealthy as Li Ka-shing would only hire a few top-notch bodyguards at most.

That land of China cannot breed tycoons like them, nor will it allow the wealthy families of that land to cultivate their own scumbags.

Ordinary bodyguards are absolutely no match for Deadpool, whom the Goldman family trained at a cost of $800 billion.

Nearly thirty Deadpools represent almost the entirety of the Goldman family's fortune.

Without these Deadpools, the Goldman family's deterrent power will be greatly diminished.

"Keep in touch. Give me a straight answer: is he dead or alive? Also, keep the news under wraps. Don't reveal a single thing!"

Henry Goldman shouted at the butler.

He already regretted it, regretted sending so many Deadpools to China.

If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have preferred to swallow his anger.

These Deadpools suffered greater losses than his bastard son Bloodblade.

Without these Deadpools, the Goldman family couldn't even suppress the Shengkes family.

Because Henry Goldman knew that the Sanx family had at least twenty assassins.

Now, only five Deadpools remain in the Goldman family.

"Also, immediately inform Thomson to focus his efforts on targeting Meng Chuan's businesses."

Henry Goldman's eyes burned with intense rage:

"As far as I know, the Liu Group is one of Meng Chuan's businesses. And the real estate industry in China is already a sunset industry. If he can't bankrupt the Liu Group, then tell him never to come back."

The butler hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Even the steward who had served him for thirty years did not disobey the head of the family in his rage.

Meanwhile, Meng Chuan was still training like crazy.

Fortunately, Prince Fu was not entirely heartless.

Lunch was another sumptuous Chinese meal – a whole roasted pig.

I don't know if it's because of the Qi cultivation or because the physical training is too arduous.

In short, Meng Chuan had an unusually good appetite.

Meng Chuan ate most of the whole roasted lamb by himself.

Meng Chuan ate almost half of the whole roasted pig by himself.

In the afternoon, Prince Fu did not actually make Meng Chuan run back.

This slightly improved Meng Chuan's impression of Prince Fu, but not much.

Back at Mar-a-Lago, Meng Chuan had just finished showering when he received a call from Wang Zheng.

"Mr. Meng, we will be officially listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in Shanghai the day after tomorrow. No matter what, you have to be the first person to ring the bell!"

Wang Zheng said to Meng Chuan with great anticipation.

Before the Chinese New Year, Meng Chuan and Wang Zheng said that it would be best to list Pinduoduo before March 2015.

Wang Zheng has been extremely busy lately.

He didn't even go home for the Chinese New Year.

Now that everything is ready, we can finally go public.

"Good job, well done. But I'll pass on ringing the bell; you know I don't want to be in the public eye."

Meng Chuan really didn't want to show his face in public.

Meng Chuan remains very popular online.

If he continues to show his face in public, it will be going too far.

"No, Mr. Meng, if you don't participate in the bell-ringing ceremony, I... will resign."
