Specifically, according to analysis by overseas financial institutions and finance media, Changda’s recent equity struggle has involved elements of a malicious takeover. However, the regulatory authorities, based on the principle of letting market regularities run their course, are not ready to hurry to intervene in such events. Thus, they have given the other party the time and opportunity to act.
According to the latest analysis of Changda’s shareholding structure, media reports state that an overseas financial investment institution called SUNV now holds nearly 29% of Changda’s total equity, just surpassing Xiao Jianming’s personal holding of 28%. This was mainly due to Changda’s business expansion in recent years, its rush to finance, and the issuance of excess stocks, leading to a continuous decline in Xiao Jianming’s personal equity share.
"The older the old man gets, the bigger his ambitions grow, always wanting to do things that don’t match his age," he said.
Zhang Sanfeng slightly raised her eyes and scanned her brother’s face across the table, who was carelessly talking and eating peanuts, seemingly unconcerned. Most people would probably think that Xiao Yebai was cold, heartless, and inconsiderate toward his own father.
However, Zhang Sanfeng knew that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Yebai’s words. With Xiao Jianming’s age, both his energy and intellect were clearly no match for his younger days. Under such circumstances, most people would adopt a conservative strategy, rather than the daring and risk-taking mindset of his younger years, unconcerned about the possibility of failure.

Clearly, if Xiao Jianming was adopting this unusual strategy, it wasn’t due to his own personality. It could only mean that there were deeper reasons behind it that even outsiders might not fathom. However, outsiders consistently believed that it was simply in Xiao Jianming’s nature. This was due to Xiao Jianming’s early military life and training, where it was said he had experienced brutally hellish scenarios, which led to a perception in Xiao Jianming’s world that there was no such thing as a threat of death.
A person who does not fear death does not worry about getting old, acting as though they are forever young and capable of anything.
Such a Xiao Jianming indeed seemed frightening. Yet, scientifically speaking, this undoubtedly provided certain individuals with an opportunity—they knew that finally, there was a chance to make a move against this old crocodile king.
Tang Sili, overhearing this by chance, immediately thought—if it has come to this, judging by the tone of his boss, is he intending to seek revenge for his father, or is he planning to stand by idly?
According to Tang Sili’s understanding of the man, if it were a choice between the former and the latter, the latter was more likely. The reason was simple: the man was always an oddity, thinking differently from others.
Indeed, as Xiao Yebai chewed on the peanut in his mouth, he blurted out another sentence, "The old man wants to drag me down with him; I’m not going to fall for their tricks."
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng’s lips curled into a faint smile, her slender fingers picking up the small red clay stove bubbling with boiling water and poured it into the teapot to rinse the tea leaves. With the flowing sound of water, Zhang Sanfeng said, "I’ve informed your sisters through Uncle Qi, telling them that you won’t be available for these three days."
"I knew you’d speak for me that way," Xiao Yebai replied lazily, leaning back into the rattan chair’s backrest, stretching lazily with one arm. With such a posture, he resembled a lazy cat basking in the afternoon sun, preparing for a nap.
His beautiful eyes gazed upward through the gaps in the leaves, towards the thread-like light rays. This made his glass-like irises shine too brightly, casting a layer of inscrutable brilliance that eluded anyone’s understanding.
Zhang Sanfeng, enjoying her own leisure, poured tea into her own cup and into Xiao Yebai’s. As for Tang Sili’s, she said, "Professor Tang, please help yourself. I’m not sure about your taste."
