Hu Yishan's expression changed. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Especially when Hu Yishan was a middle-aged man who was always smiling and rarely showed his ferocious face. Now that he had turned against him, he was even more ruthless.
Look at him. Usually, they would call each other brothers and call each other 'Brother' or 'Brother'. But when it came to profits, he would turn against them. That was the business world, and that was human nature.
But the most outrageous thing was that Hu Yishan asked Xiao Zheng to give up on the Financial Services Department. This wasn't just turning their backs on him, it was even being unreasonable. Bullying the weak …
Xiao Zheng's temper had improved over the past two years. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and would start a fight whenever there was a disagreement. He had also become more modest in his dealings with people and things, and had become less sharp.
But just because he had a good temper didn't mean he could be bullied. As soon as Hu Yishan finished speaking, the smile on Xiao Zheng's face turned cold.
"Brother Hu, if I'm not mistaken, did you just ask me to disband the newly established Xin Ao Financial Services Department?" Xiao Zheng scanned Hu Yishan with his burning gaze. A powerful aura swept over. Hu Yishan's heart skipped a beat. This kid's aura was quite strong.
Other than Hu Yishan, Dong Bijun and Tang Qingshan were also stunned. They were intimidated by the aura Xiao Zheng purposely emitted. Each had their own thoughts.
Hu Yishan grunted and said in a low voice, "I told you. You can't do anything in the financial services department. "
"Who do you think you are?" Xiao Zheng's eyes glinted coldly. "You think I can't do anything just because you say so?"
Hu Yishan's blood was boiling, but he forced himself to suppress it. He knew that this was not the time to fight with Xiao Zheng. Once their relationship became stiff, it would do him no good.
He could only blame himself for being too emotional at the time, which led to his rude words. But he had inadvertently angered Xiao Zheng.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Yishan's gaze fell on Dong Bijun.
He knew that if he wanted to change the atmosphere, he needed her help.
"Xiao Zheng. Boss Hu is saying this for the sake of you and Xin Ao, "Dong Bijun said with a smile. "Even if you don't want to, you don't have to lose your temper with Boss Hu. He was just too anxious, that's why he spoke without thinking. "
His words had the meaning of punishing each other. He managed to turn the heavy atmosphere around a little. However, Xiao Zheng's expression did not change. He looked around coldly. She said lightly, "Aunt Dong. That's not fair at all. "
"Hm?" Dong Bijun smiled. "Then, Xiao Zheng, you mean —"
"You and Boss Tang are both from the Lin family. I received news that the Lin Group spent 100 billion to enter the financial services industry. But none of you warned Boss Hu. In the end, he put all the blame on me. Isn't that inappropriate? "Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes. "It's even more inappropriate to pretend to be a good guy now, isn't it?"
As soon as he said that, everyone's expression changed.
Tang Qingshan silently cursed Xiao Zheng for being a sly old fox. How dare he point the finger at me with just a few words. He glanced at Hu Yishan and saw no reaction from him. He then said in a low voice, "I've been excluded. I don't know anything about the Lin Group's plans in the financial services industry."
He had already explained this to Hu Yishan before Xiao Zheng arrived. Although the other party was a little unhappy, he did not fully believe it. But at least they were united against the outside world. On the other hand, Xiao Zheng clearly knew about the Lin Group's every move, but he did not share the information with Hu Yishan. That would make him seem too stingy. Or even greedy.
"The Lin Group spent 100 billion on the investment, and Boss Tang doesn't know anything?" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and asked. "You said you've been excluded. Can I assume that Boss Tang is not capable enough and has lost his value?"
Xiao Zheng's words were filled with the smell of gunpowder. His goal was to mess up the situation.
In fact, he said those words to drive a wedge between Hu Yishan and Tang Qingshan. He did not want the two of them to focus on scheming against Xin Ao. Or else, he would be surrounded by enemies. Not only would he have to withstand the Lin Group's strong attacks, but he would also have to be wary of the two's schemes.
Hearing that, Tang Qingshan was enraged.
The purpose of tonight's dinner was obviously to denounce him, but Xiao Zheng's few words had actually turned the tables, and instead, he had been defeated. This was something Tang Qingshan did not expect.
He did not know that Xiao Zheng had already thought of a countermeasure before he arrived. Whether it was driving a wedge between Hu Yishan and Tang Qingshan, or diverting the battle to stay out of it, it was all part of Xiao Zheng's plan. Even during dinner, he came up with a plan to balance the situation.
Seeing that the situation was barely under control, Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and slowly said, "Boss Hu, I'm afraid I'll have to deal with this. You and I both know that the financial services industry is the final layout of the Internet. I can't just ignore this big pie just because I'm focused on the shopping platform. Am I right? "
Hu Yishan grunted. He was obviously not satisfied with Xiao Zheng's strong plan. Of course, it was only because he was not satisfied. How could he change the layout of Xin Ao's Internet with his own will?
What he said just now was obviously a mistake.
"The Lin Group has spent hundreds of billions of capital, and has a terrifying background. It would be hard for Giant Peak Network to take over the majority of the market, right? "Xiao Zheng breathed out a thick cloud of smoke and said slowly. "From how I see it, the financial services industry is no different from the shopping platform. As long as we can form a strong alliance, we can still take down the Lin Group. We can completely occupy the high ground. "
Xiao Zheng threw out his point of view in a loud and clear voice. It looked like he was analyzing the overall situation from Xin Ao's point of view. But he believed that Hu Yishan was not stupid. He knew what was important and what was not.
Did he want to leave Xin Ao behind and take the lead? Did he, Hu Yishan, have the guts to fight against the Lin Group's army of hundreds of billions? If he failed, he would not even have a partner to draw the flames of war. When that happened, he would be defeated like a landslide, and die a nameless death!
Looking at the decades of economic development in Hua Xia. How many business giants who could cover the sky with one hand were completely beaten back to their original form and disappeared in the vast sea of business after three major losses?
And how many tycoons from billions of wealth fell back to the poor and lower-middle class, and some even committed suicide by jumping off a building?
Capital was the driving force of human history, but it was also the source of all evil. It could crush the seemingly energetic strong overnight. In the face of capital, all the seemingly powerful existences were so vulnerable.
It was not that Hu Yishan could not afford to lose. Even if he lost all his businesses in the financial services industry, even if his shopping platform fell to the bottom and was forgotten in a corner. He still had many profitable businesses. But when that day came, he would not be able to challenge the behemoth Lin Group. Even when standing in front of the head of Xin Ao's Internet Department, Ma Choi Jun, he had to politely call him Boss Ma.
This was the reality!
Without the absolute support of power and wealth, Hu Yishan was a useless person who was bullied by dogs when he fell!
No one in power could endure such humiliation. So they could only move forward, there was no way back!
