Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"President Meng, what... what should we do?"

Seeing Lao Wu storm off, Wang Zheng panicked.

What should have been a joyous occasion has turned into this.

It seems there's no way to salvage the situation.

"If we can't go public, then we won't. We're leaving."

Meng Chuan stood up and said nonchalantly.

However, just as Meng Chuan stood up, his phone rang in his pocket.

She took out the new phone that Yingdie had personally bought for Meng Chuan.

"Meng Chuan, the discussion results are in. We can choose not to invest in your Dream Shadow Capital, but we absolutely must invest in your companies in China. This is a matter of principle."

"That's what Mr. Huang said on the phone."

After Huang Lao met with Meng Chuan last time, he went back and has been discussing this matter ever since.

Dream Shadow Capital has a special situation.

The government regulates the market in order to ensure its healthy and orderly development.

We must prevent the disorderly expansion of capital from undermining the foundation of the nation.

However, if this leads to a company going out of business, then it defeats the purpose.

However, any company located within China is subject to regulation.

"Perfect timing! Isn't Pinduoduo going public? After the IPO, you can prepare 1% of the shares and hand them over to me!"

Old Master Huang gave the instructions.

The matter of Dream Shadow Capital was still under discussion.

However, due to Pinduoduo's imminent IPO, they had to reach a decision in advance.

Companies that are not yet listed can postpone the process, but once they are listed, they must relinquish 1% of their shares.

"Then you're going to be disappointed. Pinduoduo has decided not to go public. Don't even think about those shares."

Meng Chuan said irritably.

"No... not going public? Meng Chuan, what are you doing? Is something as important as going public something to be treated so lightly?"

Old Huang said angrily.

If Pinduoduo hadn't been going public, they wouldn't have come up with the results of their discussions overnight.

They've worked overtime to come up with a result: Mengchuan will not be going public!

Walking the dog?

"Am I being childish? It's your listing review mechanism that's being too childish, getting scared off by a few rumors. In this kind of environment, why should I allow Pinduoduo to go public?"

After saying that, Meng Chuan hung up the phone immediately.

"Let's go, everyone go home, everyone find your mother!"

Meng Chuan said to Wang Zheng.

Now that things have come to this, what else can Wang Zheng say?

However, Meng Chuan is right; Pinduoduo didn't necessarily have to go public.

They were doing just fine before they went public, weren't they?

"This is outrageous! This bastard actually dared to hang up on me!"

In the courtyard house in Beijing, Old Huang was furious.

However, he did not call Meng Chuan again.

He could tell from Meng Chuan's voice on the phone that he was quite resentful.

This kid must have been upset.

Therefore, Mr. Huang made a direct phone call to the Shanghai Stock Exchange headquarters.

As soon as the call connected, Old Huang began to interrogate him:

"Old Zhang, let me ask you, why hasn't Pinduoduo gone public yet?"

At that moment, Director Zhang in the office felt a sudden jolt of unease; Old Huang's tone was off!

Huang Lao is the top leader in the domestic economy.

As the head of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he was nothing more than a dispensable soldier under Huang Lao.

"Mr. Huang, there's... there's been a bit of a problem. There are reports online questioning whether Pinduoduo has committed financial fraud. We need to handle this carefully..."

It's obvious that Lao Wu has already told him about the decision to halt Pinduoduo's IPO.

Rumors were circulating online, and he agreed with Lao Wu's decision.

"cautious?"

Old Huang was so angry he laughed:

"I think you've all become cowards! You're all just trying to avoid making mistakes rather than achieve anything, aren't you?"

"Elder Huang, how could that be? We were just..."

Zhang's voice trembled slightly.

He knew he was in trouble.

Pinduoduo's backer is actually the powerful Mr. Huang.

"I don't care what methods you use, Pinduoduo must be listed on time. If there is even the slightest delay, your entire Shanghai Stock Exchange should resign!"

After saying that, Old Huang hung up the phone with a "snap".

The anger from Meng Chuan hanging up on her had to be vented somewhere.

Zhang sat blankly in his chair, his face ashen.

It took him a while to come to his senses. He grabbed the phone and yelled:

"Call Old Wu here right now!"

At this moment, Lao Wu was sitting in his office, smugly organizing the materials for Pinduoduo's delisting.

He couldn't believe it. How could a small company like Pinduoduo, which had come all the way from Beijing to Shanghai for its IPO, dare to be so arrogant?

Do they really not consider the village chief a cadre anymore?

Suddenly, a secretary rushed in:

"Director, Chief Zhang wants you to come to his office immediately."

Upon hearing the secretary's words, Old Wu was immediately taken aback.

He just came out of Director Zhang's office!

However, since his superior had given the order, he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed over.

Before Lao Wu could even speak, he arrived at Director Zhang's office.

Zhang slammed his hand on the table, causing the documents on it to jump up.

"Old Wu, look what you've done! Who gave you the guts to stop Pinduoduo's IPO?"

Old Wu was startled by this sudden outburst of anger.

Didn't I just report that? And you agreed!

But Old Wu certainly wouldn't dare say that; he stammered, "..."

"Director Zhang, don't you always say that we should be rigorous in reviewing IPOs? Pinduoduo is now being questioned for financial fraud, and I'm doing this to..."

"shut up!"

Zhang Suoyi said indignantly:

"Pinduoduo is a brave company that goes against the tide, a model for private enterprises. How can you stop Pinduoduo's IPO because of a few rumors?"

"Pinduoduo must go public on time! There's less than half an hour left until the bell-ringing ceremony. If anything goes wrong, you'd better hand in your resignation!"

Old Wu's face turned deathly pale instantly:

"Director Zhang, this..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Elder Huang is in charge of this matter. If you don't handle it well, not only you, but I will also have to leave."

Zhang lowered his voice and said angrily.

Old Wu is a shrewd and calculating person.

Who else but the one in the capital could be referred to as "Old Master Huang" by Zhang?

"I understand, I'll get on it right away!"

Old Wu was truly terrified and ran away in a panic.

He finally realized that Meng Chuan dared to be so tough in front of him.

That's because his connections are stronger than his skull!

Old Wu ran back to the rest room as fast as he could.

But where was Meng Chuan in the lounge at this moment?

Old Wu shakily pulled out his phone and dialed Wang Zheng's number with trembling fingers.

During this period of busy preparations for Pinduoduo's IPO, Lao Wu has lost count of how many times he has spoken with Wang Zheng on the phone.

Therefore, it naturally belongs to Wang Zheng's phone.

Old Wu's palms were covered in cold sweat as he gripped his phone. Even the short wait for Wang Zheng to answer the phone felt incredibly long and agonizing.

The call finally went through.

Old Wu quickly put on a kind expression:

"Xiao Wang, those rumors about financial fraud online have been investigated and found to be completely unfounded. You and President Meng should hurry back so the listing ceremony can proceed as scheduled."
