"Hurry, immediately, dump all our other stocks now!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yongyuan let out a roar.
"Dad, the prices of those stocks have fallen by more than half, we'll suffer a huge loss if we sell now!"
Liu Qing argued with a pained expression.
"At this point, we can't worry about that anymore. If the other side starts to sell off aggressively, our stock price will result in catastrophic consequences."
Even though it was an emergency, Liu Yongyuan still took the time to explain briefly:
"Stabilizing Liu Corporation's stock price is of the utmost importance now. We must gather as much cash as possible to brace for unforeseen events!"
"But we could apply for a trading halt!"
Liu Qing still spoke somewhat reluctantly.
"The application for a trading halt can only be processed after the market closes. There's still an hour and a half to go, and God knows what could happen!"
Liu Yongyuan was also reeling from the succession of events, barely holding on.
"Chairman, the other side has started dumping!"
At that moment, the head of the securities department screamed out.
Liu Yongyuan and Liu Qing both felt their hearts tighten. Had it started so soon?
The two of them approached a computer at the same time, and on its screen was the minute-by-minute stock price chart of Liu Corporation. There, on the list of sell orders, were three large orders, each over a billion yuan!
Everyone knew that this was just the beginning!
Indeed, upon seeing those three large orders, retail investors also started to panic, rapidly selling off their shares. Five minutes later, Liu Corporation's stock price had already fallen by three points.
"There are more large orders appearing, Chairman!"
As soon as it turned three o'clock in the afternoon, the constantly fluctuating numbers on the computer screen stopped, as if tired.
The few people working in Liu Qing's office all had a somewhat vacant look in their eyes, their clothes soaked with cold sweat, but they felt nothing.
Because the past hour and a half had been too crazy!
Liu Yongyuan also collapsed onto the sofa, pulling a cigar from the box on the coffee table, then struck a lighter. However, his hand holding the lighter was shaking so much that after a full minute, the cigar remained unlit...
Liu Qing was staring blankly out of the window, lost...
He felt as if it was all a dream, uncertain how things had come to pass...
Everyone understood that after this battle, the Liu Family was no longer what it used to be!
Because after today, although the Liu Family was still the largest shareholder of Liu Corporation, the company's market value had shrunk by at least a third or more.
And in this afternoon's invisible battle, the Liu Family's liquid funds had also been nearly exhausted.
Furthermore, the losses caused by the fire-sale of shares in their affiliated companies were immeasurable.
A complete defeat, a disaster too painful to witness, could be said to be the true portrayal of the Liu Family today!
However, what left the Liu father and son most uneasy was that they didn't even know who their opponent was!
One thing was certain, after this event, the Liu Family had become the laggard among the Four Great Families of Jiangnan.
If previously they were on par with the Lu and Yun families, aside from the Wu Family, then after today, they were undoubtedly at the very bottom.
Even the name of the Four Great Families seemed somewhat undeserved now, since the Liu Family's foundation was essentially in commerce.
A business defeat might not affect the other families as much, but for the Liu Family, it was a fatal blow!
"Apply for a trading halt!"
Liu Yongyuan struggled to stand up from his seat, then shakily made his way toward the door, seeming to have aged a great deal in an instant...
Liu Qing, sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes filled with a cold and grim light, his fists clenched tightly!
Yet no one could answer his question...
The events that unfolded in the capital market today also caused a huge stir throughout Jiangnan!
Everyone was discussing what had happened to the Liu Corporation, what had become of the Liu Family?
Anyone with a bit of sense could see that the Liu Family had been ruthlessly targeted!
But the question was, who dared to take action against the Liu Family, and to do so with such precision and ferocity?
Everyone became aware that after today's events, the Liu Family had suffered a severe blow to their vitality.
And those who were unsettled had already started to stir, after all, the Liu Family was a juicy piece of meat!
Su Chen naturally heard these discussions as well; he found a quiet place and made a phone call:
"God of Wealth, the moves against the Liu Family were your doing, weren't they."
"Exactly, didn't you ask me to check which force was behind the recent move against Belle Corporation?"
"It was the Liu Family?"
"Exactly, the new company's source of funds was the Liu Family. Though they've been secretive, it's impossible to hide from me. I just took the opportunity to teach them a lesson for you. How's that? Satisfactory, isn't it?"
"God of Wealth, you're still the same as before, devouring others without spitting out the bones!"
"Hades, I'll take that as a compliment from you! Ha ha~~~"
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.
Su Chen knew that entrusting this matter to God of Wealth would definitely not disappoint him.
"Hades, they experienced a devastating loss in the capital market today, do you want me to continue targeting their core industry?"
"Let it be, today's incident will serve as a lesson for them. After all, this is Huaxia, I don't want others to notice your trace."
"Rest assured, it's impossible for anyone to trace me!"
God of Wealth was absolutely confident in this respect.
Su Chen thought for a moment and said, after all, a figure like God of Wealth was too sensitive, even more so than a jester.
After all, this was Huaxia, where all aspects of society were stable, and a person like God of Wealth was clearly the most unstable element, easily targeted.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you."
This matter was a trifle for God of Wealth, and since Su Chen disagreed, he had no objections.
"It's time to pay him a visit."
After hanging up the phone, Su Chen drove to the northern part of Jianghai, and after nearly an hour's drive, he arrived at an area overgrown with weeds, with a narrow path in the middle.
Su Chen drove straight along that narrow path, the tall weeds on both sides even exceeding the height of the car roof. He passed through that area and reached a bumpy stretch of road, the vehicle jolting violently.
In front of this pit-ridden stretch of road was an abandoned factory. Su Chen parked at the entrance of the abandoned factory and walked in...
He didn't linger above the factory floor but took a quick look around and went straight down to the basement...
