Chapter 131 Remember to bring a sack to collect the money tomorrow night!
Lin Chen answered the phone without saying a word.
There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by heavy breathing.
"Brother Lin...it's over...this time it's really fucking over!!"
"Lu Tianming... that madman, he's got the remaining four major aquatic product giants in the province, Haisheng and Yuanfeng... they're all in cahoots with him! They... they've got 4 billion! 4 billion in cash! They're going to completely destroy us... destroy Longji Fresh... at tomorrow night's investment conference!"
Four billion.
He continued, "Marriott's board of directors received a warning letter from Tianhai Group. Those bastards... are pressuring me, forcing me to cut ties with you immediately! Otherwise... otherwise Marriott will be finished! Brother Lin, this isn't business, this is war! A war to kill with money!"
Lin Chen listened quietly, his face expressionless.
Lin Chen only spoke after Tang Zhen coughed so hard he couldn't continue.
"Mr. Tang, please attend the investment promotion meeting tomorrow night as usual."
"What?" Tang Zhen was dumbfounded.
"Remember to bring a few extra sacks."
"A...sack?" Tang Zhen's mind hadn't quite caught up.
"Okay," Lin Chen replied. "Get ready to collect the money."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The phone went dead. Tang Zhen stood there dumbfounded in his office for a minute, holding the phone.
Take money?
What kind of money do you charge?
He wanted to call again, but he just couldn't bring himself to press the button.
...
Inside the secret room.
Lin Chen tossed his phone back onto the table, his eyes landing on the assessment report.
The multi-billion dollar empire is just an empty shell.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he brought up the "Financial Current Forecast Panel".
"Start the simulation. Target: the province's aquatic products. Invest 4 billion to maliciously short sell."
The order has been issued.
On the screen in front of me, data was scrolling down like a waterfall, and the candlestick chart was jumping wildly as if it had been electrocuted.
In the financial model, the system directly locks in several points.
[Key Point A: Provincial Capital Aquatic Products Futures Index CF2408 Contract]
[Key Point B: Haisheng Group's Circulating Shares]
【…】
This is where Lu Tianming plans to dump his 4 billion yuan. They intend to sell off their holdings in these areas and cause the entire market to collapse.
But these little tricks couldn't be hidden in front of Lin Chen's system.
Lin Chen's gaze fell on the last three sets of bank account numbers in the report.
【...K739】
【...Y822】
[...P401]
Cayman Islands, three shell companies.
Lu Tianming used it to process the accounts and to advance funds for this operation.
He turned on a laptop that was physically disconnected from the internet, and used the virtual IP provided by the system to send out an encrypted file package.
The package contains evidence of Tianhai Group's smuggling of rare marine life using cargo ships, money laundering through offshore accounts, and transferring money abroad over the years.
The recipients were an internal whistleblowing email address from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and a monitoring team from an international anti-money laundering organization.
After finishing that task, he picked up another phone and called the Huo family's head butler.
"Uncle Fu, it's me, Lin Chen."
On the other end of the phone was Uncle Fu, the head butler of the Huo family. "Mr. Lin, it's so late, is there something urgent?"
Lin Chen briefly recounted the agreement Huo Jingyun signed with "Deep Sea Eye," as well as his and Lu Tianming's plan to use Tianhai Group to short-sell and ruin the entire province's industries.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Uncle Fu finally spoke: "This is a misfortune for our family. Mr. Lin, thank you for your information. The Huo family will give you an explanation in this matter."
Cleansing out the inner circle is a matter for wealthy families to handle.
Next, Lin Chen called his company's CFO.
"Gather all the available cash in the account, including the 1.8 million from the last auction."
"Also, contact Chu Tiankuo of Yunhai Pavilion and tell him to prepare all the cash so we can do a big heist tomorrow night."
One order after another was issued.
A large net has been quietly cast.
...
On the same night.
The top floor of the Tianhai Building in the provincial capital.
Lu Tianming, holding a glass of the ridiculously expensive Romanée-Conti, clinked glasses with Huo Jingyun next to him.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights of thousands of homes in the provincial capital shone brightly.
"Brother Jingyun, tomorrow night, all these lights will be lit for us," Lu Tianming said boastfully.
Huo Jingyun took a sip of red wine.
"A country bumpkin got lucky and thinks he can turn the world upside down? Mr. Lu, I don't just want his supply chain cut off, I want him to kneel before me and spit out every single secret of his deep-sea gene optimization and cultivation lab!!"
"Don't worry." Lu Tianming laughed. "He doesn't know anything. When it comes to money, his little bit of cleverness and brute force are a joke."
"If four billion yuan in cash is thrown in, not only him and his Longji Fresh Food business, but the entire seafood market in the provincial capital will be wiped out within a day!"
Lu Tianming had investigated Lin Chen's background; it was quite simple.
The biggest thing this poor boy from a fishing village had ever done was take care of a few insignificant local thugs.
What does he know about futures leverage and dimensional reduction attacks?
The two clinked glasses again, as if they could already see Lin Chen kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, having lost everything.
...
The Huangni Village Wharf late at night.
The air was filled with the salty, pungent smell of the sea.
Sun Heizi and Zhou Dazhuang were directing several of their underlings to stuff a few strange-looking instruments into a black box.
This thing is a high-frequency signal transmitter that Lin Chen had them work on overnight, using the system blueprints.
"Brother Chen told us to bring this thing to the investment conference tomorrow..." Sun Heizi asked, looking bewildered, "What can this thing do? Is it more powerful than a fist?"
Zhou Dazhuang slammed his hand on the box: "What the boss is thinking, do you think you can guess? We just need to get to work. The boss said this thing can make those bastards cry, so it definitely can!"
Several people lifted the boxes onto an Iveco van, which quickly disappeared into the night.
Inside the secret room.
Lin Chen stood by the window, watching a bolt of lightning tear through the night sky.
Immediately following was a rumble of thunder.
A new notification popped up on his retina in the system panel.
[Warning: Tianhai Group's related money laundering accounts have triggered the highest level of monitoring by international anti-money laundering organizations.]
The storm has started; 18 hours remain until it detonates.
Lu Tianming, Huo Jingyun.
Are you ready for the storm?!
