Li Siwen's expression was particularly gloomy after hanging up the phone. He did not expect that the other party's infiltration had been so deep. It was obvious that the mastermind behind the Xiangjiang Independence School wanted to make all the affiliated companies of the Red Fox Foundation pay the price. As for what crazy actions the other party would make in the end, Li Siwen couldn't imagine that the only thing he could do was to survive this battle.
Yes, if the purpose of victory before was to be victorious, then this time it was to survive, and this was the only chance to take revenge.
However, reality is much more difficult than he imagined.
On December 24, 1995, a report forwarded by the Beijing News completely ignited the entire Chinese business district.
"Boss, look at it." Chen Qiuyu took the newspaper to Li Siwen and read the title: "Li Siwen, chairman of Datang Group, fought against the enemy and will compete with the Xiangshang on behalf of China."
When Li Siwen heard the title, his brows frowned instantly, took the newspaper and said, "Who wrote the news?"
"It was first reported by Xiangjiang's news, and we reprinted it from that side." Chen Qiuyu immediately explained that at this time, Han Jiaren, Xu Weiwei and Sparrow also walked in.
"We held an internal meeting on the 20th. Secretary Sun emphasized that we should not leak the content of the meeting." Li Siwen clenched his fists and said, "Damn it, which dog said it?"
"If you want me to tell me, it must be those from the Beijing circle." Sparrow replied without hesitation.
Li Siwen frowned, feeling that the sparrow's words were almost the same. At this time, Chen Qiuyu added: "Boss, you should check the content of the report first. There is an interview with Dong Jiacheng by Xiangjiang media. It is said that this time he came to China, he is the representative of Xiangjiang."
Li Siwen spread out the newspaper, looked carefully, and after a while, pointing at it, saying, "Look at what he said."
Xu Weiwei was quick-witted and picked up the newspaper and read: "Mr. Dong Jiacheng believes that China's investment promotion this time is a huge international progress. The arrival of the incense merchants is not to compete with the Chinese merchants for the cake, but to bring advanced concepts and industries to China, hoping to contribute a meager to China's economic construction.
Mr. Dong Jiacheng emphasized that the incense merchants are very interested in the core land of the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Yang, and are determined to win, because only the incense merchants can achieve the value of these three pieces of land.
He also said that relevant leaders of China were very supportive of the three pieces of land, and China's major real estate developers also reached oral agreements with him to avoid competition as much as possible.
Finally, he said that he hoped to be friends with Chinese businessmen rather than enemies, because Chinese businessmen are still children in greenhouses today and cannot withstand too much impact."
After reading it, Xu Weiwei frowned and said, "You are kind to the whole article, but after listening, why do I feel that I am threatening Chinese businessmen?"
"The last two sentences should be to warn the Chinese merchants to give way to him." Chen Qiuyu also analyzed.
Li Siwen, who was sitting on the chair, smiled faintly: "Do you know what this is called? Soft Knife."
"Soft Knife?" several people muttered.
"Yes, say the most substantial words in the calmest tone, this is the soft knife." Li Siwen exhaled and said, "It seems that the difficulty this time has increased again."
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. The person who called the boss of Jianye Group, the other party said politely: "Mr. Li, I'm really embarrassed. The shareholders of our company do not agree to participate in this investment. You also know that when businessmen are kind to make money, there is no need to fight around."
"I understand, thank you for notifying me." Li Siwen replied.
"I'm so sorry. I'm going to cause trouble for you early in the morning. I'll hang up first. If we have the chance, we will cooperate." The other party hurriedly hung up the phone.
Just as Li Siwen put down his phone, he called another phone call: "Mr. Li, I am Mr. Hou of Junfa Group. We have held four or five conference calls in the past two days, and the final result is not ideal, and we may not be able to help."
"Okay, I understand." Li Siwen replied.
"Mr. Li, remember to help you get angry with Mr. Zhu. We have no choice. I hope he won't be surprised. You know, those fragrant merchants are not easy to mess with." Mr. Hou said with a wry smile, hung up the phone, and then Wang Shi called in again. The other party did not directly say that Vanke would not participate in this matter. He said earnestly: "Brother Li, I am a lot of you. To say something unpleasant, Mr. Zhu is always a good leader, but the internal battle is too powerful. It may not be possible whether he can continue this time, so it may not be worth it to fight with the fragrant merchant in order to help him. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Brother Wang, I understand, but I also hope you understand that fighting with Xiang Shang is not just about helping Mr. Zhu." Li Siwen replied softly.
"Do you plan to change something with your own strength?" Wang Shi sighed and said, "Those incense merchants are more terrible than you think. I won't say more about it now. You can think about how to do it yourself."
After Wang Shi hung up the phone, Han Jiaren, who was standing beside him, said, "Is it the phone call made by Mr. Wang of Vanke?"
"Yes." Li Siwen nodded.
"What did he say?" Han Jiaren asked back.
"I must be advised to give up. Xiangjiang released such news just to force Chinese merchants to make concessions. And I guess the delegation led by Dong Jiacheng has issued a private warning to these merchants." Li Siwen replied calmly.
"What are you going to do?" Han Jiaren asked this and said carefully: "Actually, my father also called this morning, and he was also under pressure from Xiangjiang. Some partners even made it clear that they did not want him to participate in this matter."
"Good lady, your father is right, and I don't want your Han family to get involved." Li Siwen paused slightly: "But I have my own choice."
"But……"
Han Jiaren wanted to say something, but Li Siwen stood up and said, "Let's go out to eat something!"
Li Siwen used the excuse to terminate the discussion on this matter, but the next day he did not stop. He would basically call in every half an hour, and most of them refused to invest in the auction. Sometimes, there were bosses like Wang Shi, but they also tried their best to advise him not to fight with Xiang Shang.
At one o'clock in the morning, except for the chandeliers on the gate in the courtyard, the lights in the room had already gone out, but Li Siwen was still sitting in the living room, smoking quietly. His expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, and only when the flames were lit can he vaguely see his eagle-like eyes.
"You told me that whenever you pick up a cigarette, it is never because of pressure, but because of excitement." The sparrow walked out of the darkness and said coldly: "Is this the case at this moment?"
