Xu Mo took the acquisition proposal and pretended to read it carefully.
Hongtu Real Estate was one of the older and more established real estate companies in this fictional world.
Its annual profit reached tens of billions!
In simple terms, it was a highly coveted and valuable asset.
Among the many companies vying for it was Shen Manni's.
However, due to Xu Corporation's substantial financial resources and extensive connections, it managed to outbid all competitors and secure this valuable asset!
Almost everyone believed this was a very profitable deal!
Once Hongtu Real Estate was acquired,
it was a surefire way to make a huge profit!
With a net gain of hundreds of billions in market value!
But for Xu Mo, it was not as simple as it seemed.
【Hehe... and they want me to review it. This is a trap left by the male lead, you know?】
【And he's a financial PhD graduate too. Use that brain of yours, which is as dumb as a pig, and think carefully, why would such a renowned real estate company suddenly sell all its shares, not even keeping a single one】
【Is there really not a single catch in this?】
【Ah... this is all part of the dog protagonist Lin Fan's plan. He has insider information that Dragon Country will soon crack down on the real estate industry, and not only that, Hongtu Real Estate itself has left behind many unfinished buildings】
【After the acquisition, not only will there be no profit, but we'll also have to pour in hundreds of billions of Huaxia Currency to compensate those who paid for houses but haven't moved in, it's a total trap】
Xu Mo flipped through the proposal listlessly, looking very serious to others.
But to Zhou Qiaoqiao, it was different!
Zhou Qiaoqiao was extremely shocked!
What's going on? Is this all a trap?
If it really is as Xu Mo thinks.
Then after acquiring Hongtu Real Estate, wouldn't they lose their shirts?
It wouldn't be a fatal blow.
But it would definitely result in a significant loss.
This was the first major plot twist in the book.
However, these were not important to Zhou Qiaoqiao!
What she cared more about was the fact that she and Xu Mo would lose money.
The two families were bound together by an arranged marriage.
So Xu Mo's money was her money.
Her money was Xu Mo's money!
Previously, Zhou Qiaoqiao did have thoughts of canceling the engagement.
Planning to part ways with Xu Mo!
But ever since she mysteriously gained the ability to hear Xu Mo's inner thoughts.
Everything changed!
She now absolutely refused to break off the engagement with Xu Mo!
"I oppose this plan!"
A sudden voice broke the silence in the meeting room.
It stood out like a sore thumb!
Li Ming's eyes widened like copper bells as he scanned the source of the voice, wondering who dared to oppose.
This plan was the result of his painstaking efforts, meticulously calculating how to acquire Hongtu Real Estate at the lowest price!
Describing it as the pinnacle of his career would not be an exaggeration.
Yet, someone dared to oppose it.
When Li Ming's gaze landed on the speaker, he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to show any expression.
As if he hadn't seen anything, he shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Others did the same.
Because the one who spoke was Zhou Qiaoqiao, their boss's wife!
Xu Mo was caught off guard, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao.
【Damn! Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you also going crazy?】
"Zhou Qiaoqiao, what do you mean? Look at this proposal, it's written so well, so perfect, flawless, it's the most successful plan, what's there to oppose?"
Li Ming looked at Xu Mo with gratitude.
President Xu appreciated him so much, he must follow President Xu's lead in everything he does!
Zhou Qiaoqiao was rendered speechless, but she had the advantage of hearing Xu Mo's thoughts!
She didn't know the specifics, but Xu Mo did!
Zhou Qiaoqiao's only thought now was to extract Xu Mo's thoughts!
She casually tossed the proposal Xu Mo handed her, as if throwing away trash, onto the ground!
"Hongtu Real Estate has been the leading real estate company in the industry for decades, always doing well, why would they suddenly sell all their shares, not even keeping a single one, haven't you ever questioned that deeper?"
With a thud!
Zhou Qiaoqiao stood up abruptly, her cold eyes scanning everyone in the room!
To be honest, they hadn't questioned it, some had even investigated, but found nothing.
One was the male lead's "dumbness halo," which affected the entire world.
Two, they could only gather the obvious reasons.
At this moment, Li Ming felt it was necessary to stand up and express his stance!
After all, Xu Mo valued his talents so much, he felt honored and had to do something!
"President Zhou, the owner of Hongtu Real Estate is emigrating abroad, the family is in disarray, they decided to sell all their shares."
"Ahem... the owner of Hongtu Real Estate has many wives and children, and also keeps many mistresses outside, there were originally more than ten heirs, this time the media exposed seven or eight suspected illegitimate children of the owner coming to look for their father, causing a huge scandal."
"Temporarily setting aside these, their company ranks ninth in national real estate sales, has been profitable for over a decade, and now has over a hundred billion in liquid assets."
"Recently, house prices have dropped a bit, but they can still maintain normal profits, President Zhou, I think this is their strength. What do you think?"
【Haha... as expected of my number one lackey, speaking so convincingly, yet completely brainless】
【You only see their profits, you haven't personally checked out their projects in other cities, only the ones in Shanghai are selling well】
【But in other cities, they've all turned into unfinished buildings, opening sales means running away】
【As for the hundreds of billions in liquid assets, do you think it's Pinduoduo? Come help me cut for a house? Investigate further and you'll find it's borrowed liquid assets from abroad, it's like a high-interest loan, and you have to pay back double... no, triple...】
【But what does this have to do with me? Lose money and lose money】
【These details, Zhou Qiaoqiao would never think of, let alone these fools】
【Forget it, let's open a bottle of champagne to celebrate first】
Clap clap clap-------
Suddenly, applause rang out in the meeting room.
Xu Mo stood up, clapping, he now looked like an Oscar-winning actor, every expression and action seemed natural.
This was a useless ability given by the system at the beginning.
To make it easier to follow the plot.
"With Li Ming, my Xu Corporation's empire will surely flourish?"
"Call the secretary, bring out the champagne I keep in my office, let's celebrate today."
