That night, the Ye Family invested an unprecedented amount of money into the stock market. Many people were busy, and at the same time, they were constantly on the phone with the outside world. At the same time, there were two large domestic companies cooperating with the Ye Family.
Early the next morning, Wei Tongtian of the Wei Family was sleeping in his room. Suddenly, he was awakened by the ringing of the phone at the bedside. After he picked up the phone, he heard the voice of Wei Ermao, the person in charge of the Wei Family's business, crying, "Master Wei, Master Wei, our Wei Family's stock market has plummeted. The stock market has plummeted!"
Wei Tongtian suddenly sat up. Although he was the overlord of the underground world, if he wanted to stabilize the underground world, he first needed money. He had to have enough financial support. Otherwise, which brother would be willing to follow him? Could it be only based on loyalty? Of course, it was based on money!
For a very small number of people, loyalty could indeed make them follow you wholeheartedly. But for most people, loyalty, ability, and prestige were not enough. They had to be able to give them real benefits. So what if it was the underground world? Didn't the underground world need to buy houses and cars? Didn't the people in the underground world need to marry and have children? Therefore, they had to have money. Money could make the world go round.
The Wei Family also had their own company, which was a real estate company. It could be regarded as one of the top companies in the country. The most important thing was that they were about to form a monopoly in the northwest region. Who dared to compete with them in the northwest region?
Most of the Wei Family's sources of funds depended on this company. Wei Ermao was the person in charge of this company. Usually, no one dared to go against their company. It had always been smooth sailing. Therefore, when he suddenly heard that the stock market had plummeted, even Wei Tongtian was stunned. Then, he calmly reprimanded, "Ermao, you've been the general manager for so many years. Why don't you have this little bit of willpower? How can godfather rest assured? Tell me, why did the stock market plummet? Is it because of the company's policy? "
Truth be told, Wei Tongtian did not know a thing about business, but he did not know much about it either. The reason why he was asking now was mainly to back Wei Ermao up and calm him down. Wei Ermao would still have to deal with these matters after the matter was over. The only thing that Wei Tongtian had that was better than Wei Ermao was his mental fortitude.
Wei Tongtian was wearing a set of white pajamas. He looked like a burly man, but what was surprising was that he had a long braid. His hair was very long, reaching his waist. He had the style of an ancient chivalrous man.
When Wei Ermao heard Wei Tongtian's voice, he gradually began to calm down. He explained, "When we looked at the stock market this morning, we found that there was a big change in the stock market. A large amount of money, which we don't know where it came from, was invested in the stock market and began to attack our Wei Family's stock market. Then, our Wei Family's stock market began to fall. Now, it has fallen to the lowest point in history.
It can't go any lower! "If it were a business leader of a real Fortune 500 company, this matter would be considered a storm, but it would not be enough to make them completely panic. However, the Wei Family was different. The Wei Family had always relied on subterfuge and robbery in business. They had limited ability to deal with some particularly profound business circles. For example, Wei Ermao was appointed by Wei Tongtian to be in charge of the Wei Family's business. If Wei Ermao was in another big company, he could at most be a small manager in a department. Compared to the other people in the Wei Family, he was naturally much stronger. However, compared to the real elites in the business circle, he was still much weaker.
This was one of the disadvantages of the rough men in the underground world. Even Wei Tongtian could not avoid it. He did not trust outsiders and only trusted his own brothers. Wei Ermao was originally his nephew. Later, because Wei Ermao's father passed away in a car accident, Wei Tongtian regarded him as his godson. This was also the reason why Wei Ermao could sit in this position.
Wei Tongtian slapped the bed, and his eyes became a little frightening. He said in a cold tone, "Who dares to attack our Wei Family?"
Wei Ermao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know. I'm investigating the source of the funds. I'm also asking my subordinates to stop them in the stock market."
Wei Tongtian exhaled and said, "Well, don't worry and do it boldly. I believe in your ability. It's time for you to prove yourself."
"Okay, Godfather, I'll do my best." Wei Ermao hung up the phone gratefully.
As soon as Wei Tongtian ended the call with Wei Ermao, someone outside shouted, "Master, Master, something happened …"
Wei Tongtian stood up and hurried to the door. He shouted, "What happened again?"
Wei Tongtian's wife also sat up from the bed. However, because she was wearing too little, she did not get out of bed. Instead, she wrapped herself in the quilt. His wife was in her forties and looked a little gentle.
After Wei Tongtian pushed the door open and went out, he saw the housekeeper running over with a newspaper in his hand. He handed it to Wei Tongtian and said, "Master, take a look. This is the newspaper with the largest circulation in the three northern provinces. I heard from a friend in the three northern provinces in the morning. He said that our Wei Family was written on it, so I immediately asked them to fax a copy. I printed it immediately and sent it to you, Master."
Wei Tongtian took the newspaper and glanced at it. His expression immediately changed.
The newspaper published a few things that the Wei Family had done in the process of monopolizing the northwest real estate market, such as burning down other people's factories and forcing some bosses to commit suicide. In fact, these things were all true. However, the outside world had been making groundless accusations, and no one knew the specific details. Now that it was published in the largest newspaper in the three northern provinces, although it was also vague and did not confirm that the Wei Family had done these things, it still raised doubts.
Wei Tongtian said angrily, "What is this newspaper trying to do? Does their newspaper not want to stay in business anymore? Who published it? Doesn't he know who I, Wei Tongtian, am? "
It was no wonder that he was so furious. Although these things had always been circulating in the streets, they had never been officially reported. They were completely different. Now, this newspaper had published it in the newspaper without any evidence. Although it only raised doubts and raised a few points of doubt, it did not confirm that Wei Tongtian had really done it. However, it would inevitably affect the Wei Family's image.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "This newspaper is from the three northern provinces, not the northwest. There is absolutely no newspaper in the entire northwest that dares to publish these things."
"Why is the three northern provinces worrying about our affairs?" Wei Tongtian said angrily, "Does he think that I don't dare to kill them because they are in the three northern provinces?"
However, even though Wei Tongtian was furious, he still vaguely felt that something was amiss. Why did everything come together and coincidentally happen at the same time? First, the Wei Clan's stock market was attacked. Then, the newspapers published news that was unfavorable to the Wei Clan. Could it be that someone was dealing with the Wei Clan behind the scenes? But who would have the guts to do so? Although the Wei Family had not been very successful recently, after all, Di Long, who was ranked third among the Six Sages of the Wei Family, had just died, the Wei Family and the Xue Family had joined forces, which was enough to make up for this loss. It would not be a fatal blow to the Wei Family, and they could even climb on the Xue Family's big tree. The Wei Family would have a backer in the legal world. At this time, who would dare to offend the Wei Family?
At this time, the housekeeper suddenly pointed to the back of the newspaper and said, "Master, look at the back of the newspaper. There is news about the Wei Family."
Wei Tongtian immediately turned to the back of the newspaper and saw the news about the Wei Family, or rather, the news about Ye Xiaoxi from the Ye Family. Ye Xiaoxi had just accepted a phone interview from this newspaper. During the interview, Ye Xiaoxi was in the ward. The newspaper editor interviewed Ye Xiaoxi about her feelings after taking over the Ye Group. Later, he asked why Ye Xiaoxi was hospitalized. Ye Xiaoxi said that she was attacked by some killers. Then the editor pretended to be very curious and asked Ye Xiaoxi if she knew which enemy she had offended. Ye Xiaoxi implicitly said that the Wei Family had sent someone to her house, saying that it was because of a small conflict in business and the Wei Family had threatened her. But Ye Xiaoxi immediately said that it might just be a coincidence.
After this conversation, the editor of the newspaper began to speculate about it and hoped that the relevant departments could intervene.
Wei Tongtian's face turned livid. He finally knew what was going on. The Ye Family. It turned out that the Ye Family had attacked the Wei Family!
Even if Wei Tongtian had no business sense, he knew that although this newspaper was far away in the three northern provinces, the lethality it had caused was enough to be fatal. At the very least, it would hurt the Wei Family badly and even put them in great danger. The Ye Family had definitely colluded with other companies to attack the Wei Family's stock market. Then the coincidental publication of this newspaper would definitely cause panic among the Wei Family's power and business partners. People would be confused, and the shareholders would be even more confused. At that time, it would be even more difficult for the Wei Family to fight back in the stock market.
In fact, when two companies of similar size were engaged in an economic war, if one of them was caught with a little scandal, it would be enough to cause a fatal blow, let alone such a big scandal.
Wei Tongtian calmed down when he was in a difficult situation. He said in a deep voice, "Call the lawyer right now and ask him to hold a press conference. Tell him that all this is just a rumor, and I'll definitely hold the newspaper and Ye Xiaoxi responsible for ruining my reputation in the law."
The butler agreed and immediately retreated.
Wei Tongtian's face was still very bad. It was very difficult to clarify such a thing through a press conference. Perhaps with the ability of the Wei Family, as long as they continued to evade, they could not be punished by the law. However, it was too difficult to turn the tide in public opinion and the stock market.
When Wei Tongtian returned to his room, his wife asked gently, "Honey, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
Wei Tongtian said in a serious tone, "I've underestimated Ye Xiaoxi. She's just a little girl, yet she embarrassed me so much. She's so ruthless. Does she want our Wei Family's real estate business to collapse directly?"
The real estate business was the pillar of the Wei Family. Ye Xiaoxi's move was too beautiful and too ruthless!
