Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: 616, a hundred billion profit for each person? Are you dreaming?

When Chen Rui heard what Luofeng said, he burst into laughter. "That’s hilarious! Your Fengshun Investment is nothing but an empty shell now, yet you still dare to speak so boldly here?"

[Ding, in light of the Host’s significant provocation, please choose whether to use the "Financial Retribution Card."]

[Financial Retribution Card: Designated Target: Chen Ping, under the Host’s command! Chen Ping will use Fengshun Investment Company to counter Tianhong Investment Company. Minimum capital investment: 50 million. Maximum capital investment: unlimited. The effect of the retribution will be determined by the amount invested. An investment of 100 billion will trigger a chain collapse of Tianhong Investment.]

Tianhong Company was a private equity fund company. Although it controlled over a trillion in funds, that money wasn’t actually theirs. The vast majority of it belonged to other investors and was merely entrusted to the company for management. Therefore, even if Tianhong controlled a trillion in funds, it would only take one hundred billion to cause the company’s collapse.

"Use the Financial Retribution Card!" Luofeng naturally didn’t hesitate and clicked to use it.

Originally, Luofeng’s plan was to poach Tianhong’s investment clients through Fengshun Investment’s high returns. He had intended to wait for the capital from the international gold market to be recouped before applying full-spectrum pressure on Tianhong Investment. But now, the System had provided this Financial Retribution Card, allowing Luofeng to act ahead of schedule.

"How I plan to target Tianhong isn’t your concern. I just want to inform everyone that if any of your friends have money invested with Tianhong and they get caught in the crossfire, don’t blame me for not warning you," Luofeng said with a chuckle.

"Who are you trying to threaten?" Chen Rui asked nonchalantly.

"You think I’m bluffing? Mark the time: starting the day after tomorrow, Monday. You have just over a day to pull out. You’re a big fish; surely you’d want to consider leaving the big river that is Tianhong?" Luofeng sneered.

Chen Ergou looked at Luofeng with confusion. "But as far as I know, Brother Feng, your Fengshun Investment Company should be out of funds, right?" After speaking, he scoffed contemptuously. He wore a gloating expression, clearly reveling in Luofeng’s presumed failure. Did he think that inciting Chen Hong to target Luofeng would actually work? Chen Ergou was too naive.

"You needn’t worry about that, Mr. Chen," Luofeng replied, his tone calm as he changed his form of address. "Of course, Mr. Chen, this time we’ve targeted Tianhong. Once we’re free, we’ll target your cousin as well. I hope Brother Chen Hong won’t mind then; it’s just business, nothing personal against you," Luofeng continued.

"Heh, Brother Feng, thanks for your concern. If Brother Feng truly has a way to deal with Tianhong, then perhaps you can turn your attention to our Chen Family afterward," Chen Hong responded with a smile, still maintaining a composed, unangered appearance. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Brother Feng—perhaps you already know—we are of the same clan. So, when you target Tianhong, our Chen Family’s Shengyuan Group won’t stand idly by."

Damn! Is there such a fortunate turn of events? The Financial Retribution Card is designated to target Tianhong Company. If, in the process of dealing with Tianhong, the Shengyuan Group, which supports them, can be taken care of too, that would save time and costs. Does Chen Hong have a death wish?

The gathering at the rural tourism spot ended with civilities on the surface. People from both sides went their separate ways.

In the large tea house downstairs at Cloud View Apartments, Luofeng and the three brothers gathered again.

"Brother Feng, do you need help this time?" Chen Dali asked.

"I can probably scrape together about 20 million," Lin Xiaoyun said.

"I can manage about the same, around 20 million," Li Bo Kai said.

"I have a bit more; I can get 50 million," Chen Dali stated.

"Thank you all. You’re truly making me feel a bit ashamed," Luofeng said with a smile. "Alright, hand over your phones."

Li Bo Kai grew excited. "Here it comes! I knew it! I’m familiar with this routine. It must be something important if we’re taking such precautions, right?"

"Everyone, check this tea room thoroughly."

"I’m hurt," Lin Xiaoyun added.

"If you suddenly came into possession of over one hundred billion, could you withstand the pressure from your families? Or would you yield to them?" Luofeng posed a hypothetical question.

"Huh? What on earth are you talking about?" Li Bo Kai looked at Luofeng in astonishment.

Chen Dali grew thoughtful.

Lin Xiaoyun hesitated. "Brother Feng, you were drinking tea earlier, right? Not alcohol?"

"Heh, I’m not joking," Luofeng said. "If I gave you an opportunity to gain access to over one hundred billion in funds, could you withstand the pressure from your families, or would you submit to them?"

Before the others could reply, Luofeng stated frankly, "I can tell you plainly, we’ve made a significant profit in the international Gold Market. The final estimate is that each of us could end up with over one hundred billion. Even if it’s not quite one hundred billion each, when you add our initial investment, the total will definitely exceed one hundred billion."

"So, when I told you earlier that we’d taken a loss on the gold, that was a test," Luofeng said with a sigh. "I wanted to see if you’d turn on me. If you had, I would still have given you your share of the money, but our friendship, our brotherhood, would likely have been over."

"Xiaoyun, slap me. Am I dreaming?" Li Bo Kai said.

And Xiaoyun, showing no hesitation, gave him a resounding slap.
