Chapter 2335 Greed Is a Sin

The reaction from Huayuan Real Estate did not cause any change in Zhao Fusheng's mindset.

"You're burning money, you know."

In the office of Future Investment, Dong Chenxi stared at the numbers on the computer screen again and again, saying helplessly to Zhao Fusheng.

This time, targeting Huayuan Real Estate, they had mobilized a considerable amount of funds.

According to Dong Chenxi's estimate, if they continued burning money like this, Zhao Fusheng might lose over several hundred million.

"Burning money?"

Zhao Fusheng laughed: "Don't worry, the best is yet to come."

He really wasn't that anxious; in his view, this was just the beginning.

The real show was still ahead!

Once the hot money started to enter, that would be the true battle!

"You're not really planning to acquire Huayuan Real Estate, are you?"

Seeing Zhao Fusheng's eerie smile, Dong Chenxi couldn't help saying to him: "That company has a very complicated background. If you're not careful, things could go wrong."

She never underestimated her opponents.

After Zhao Fusheng called to inform her that they were going to make a move on Huayuan Real Estate, Dong Chenxi had already started sending people to gather information on the company, quickly figuring out its situation.

As she said, Huayuan Real Estate had a very complex background.

Ren Zhi was just a representative they put forward.

The hidden forces behind them were by no means insignificant!

If they rashly tried to acquire them, in the end, Future Investment might end up in a rather awkward position.

Of course, after careful analysis, Dong Chenxi could also guarantee that even if it was somewhat awkward, if Zhao Fusheng insisted on the acquisition, she could still pull it off.

After all, the one thing Future Investment wasn't short of right now was money.

"Who told you I wanted to acquire Huayuan Real Estate?"

Zhao Fusheng laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said to Dong Chenxi, "We're doing business, not fighting. Even if I wanted to deal with Ren Zhi, I wouldn't want to acquire Huayuan Real Estate."

This was his true feeling.

Now that he owned Future Real Estate and the land in his hands was of high value, why would he bother to acquire Huayuan Real Estate?

Zhao Fusheng wouldn't do something that was thankless.

Hearing his words, Dong Chenxi frowned, somewhat surprised.

"What, you don't believe me?"

Seeing Dong Chenxi's reaction, Zhao Fusheng knew what she was thinking and asked with a smile.

Dong Chenxi shook her head: "It's not that I don't believe you; I just don't quite understand what you're trying to do."

"What am I trying to do?"

Zhao Fusheng chuckled: "Make money, of course."

Make money?

Dong Chenxi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, clearly not understanding Zhao Fusheng's words.

After all, in her view, Zhao Fusheng's current approach didn't seem like making money.

Who would simply and crudely buy up the other company's stock at a high price like that? Wasn't that just telling everyone, 'I'm going to drive up the stock price'?

Right now, Huayuan Real Estate's stock price was about to rise by over six percent.

What was Zhao Fusheng trying to do?

"Heh, don't get it, do you?"

Seeing her expression, Zhao Fusheng grinned smugly: "Come on, I'll give you a chance—guess what I'm going to do?"

Having known each other for so long, Dong Chenxi could tell that Zhao Fusheng wasn't putting on a brave face; he was genuinely in a good mood.

In other words, this guy really intended to screw Huayuan Real Estate this time.

At this thought, Dong Chenxi's heart stirred.

She suddenly realized a problem.

If Zhao Fusheng really intended to screw Ren Zhi once, there seemed to be a most suitable method.

"You're not planning to first drive up the stock price, leak news that we're going to launch a tender offer, then sell at the high, and finally announce it was a false rumor, are you?"

Dong Chenxi looked at Zhao Fusheng and spoke rapidly.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled and nodded: "What, can't I do that?"

At that moment.

Dong Chenxi was completely dumbfounded.

She never imagined Zhao Fusheng could be so treacherous.

Indeed, in Dong Chenxi's view, this was utterly insidious.

Because anyone could see that he was clearly using his own capital to toy with Huayuan Real Estate's emotions.

Of course, he was also toying with the sentiments of ordinary retail investors.

"Aren't you afraid that if the news gets out, those retail investors will curse you to death?"

Dong Chenxi remarked with a sigh to Zhao Fusheng.

After all, if this matter were actually carried out according to Zhao Fusheng's idea, it would mean taking advantage of those retail investors.

In other words, the retail investors who end up trapped would surely curse.

Zhao Fusheng sneered: "Stock speculators deserve no sympathy. Besides, I have to sell my own shares too. If someone doesn't sell at the high and still wants to make more, such greedy people deserve to die!"

Dong Chenxi fell silent.

She had to admit that what Zhao Fusheng said was not wrong at all.

Do retail investors deserve sympathy?

Are they miserable?

Miserable, indeed miserable.

Think about it, in China's stock market, there are often several consecutive years of bear market, dropping from 6,000 points to over 2,000 points, with stock prices plummeting like a waterfall, leaving investors helpless and tearless.

But on the other hand.

Which of these people didn't speculate in stocks out of greed?

Some simply felt they had some spare cash and wanted to make a quick profit through speculation, only to end up losing everything.

To be honest, Zhao Fusheng really didn't want to sympathize with such people.

Because in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, every adult must be responsible for the choices they make.

You can choose to put your money in the bank, or you can choose to buy property as a hedge, but since you choose the stock market where risks and opportunities coexist, you must bear the price you need to pay once the stock market collapses.

If you're not greedy, you naturally won't get hurt.

That was Zhao Fusheng's logic.

It might be somewhat unreasonable, but how many reasonable things are there in life?

Even Dong Chenxi herself had encountered unreasonable things and people.

With that thought, Dong Chenxi said to Zhao Fusheng: "In that case, we really shouldn't drive the stock price too high today, to avoid any problems."

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "I know, like boiling a frog in warm water, first let them get anxious."

Then he smiled and said: "I reckon Ren Zhi won't be able to sleep tonight."

"That goes without saying."

Dong Chenxi also laughed: "If I were him, I'd probably be figuring out how to raise funds to deal with your acquisition right now."

"Heh, that would be a good thing."

Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "Let him wait. Maybe someday when I'm in a bad mood, I'll leak that Fengqu is going to launch a tender offer."

He paused and smiled: "Remember, don't buy too much, so we don't have to make a tender offer."

This was crucial; it wasn't yet time for a tender offer.
