Stealing Your Heart Chapter 444

“I just caught wind that Bai Group’s real estate industry is causing trouble for Mr. Xu.” Zong Jinghao deliberately told only half the story, letting him figure out the rest on his own.

Li Qirui straightened with a serious expression on his face. “You mean-”

Knock, knock.

Zong Jinghao’s secretary knocked on the door just then, to which he blandly said, “Come in.”

His secretary came in with two cups of coffee, placing each one in front of Zong Jinghao and Li Qirui, respectively. Then, she retreated and closed the door behind her.

Li Qirui chuckled and said. “Interesting.”

He took a sip of his coffee and pondered. “If Mr. Xu is ruthless enough in his efforts, that cripple will definitely find himself in a sorry plight. With me attacking him from the other side, he’ll definitely suffer a great loss.”

Zong Jinghao picked up his cup without lifting his gaze eyes nor saying a word, allowing him to make his own speculations.

Li Qirui took a huge sip of his coffee and excitedly said, “If my brother-in-law, the president of HSBC, starts a price war with him…”

Firstly, he was loaded.

If he could successfully push Bai Group out of the market, he would then occupy two-thirds of the domestic market.

Originally, he and Bai Group both occupied half of the market, while the other half was by sole proprietors from small companies, all of which he did not pay much attention to.

Suddenly, Li Qirui slammed his hand on the desk. “It’s settled then.”

He was no fool. He had carefully considered the pros and cons of doing this, and he came to the conclusion that flushing out Bai Group would only bring him benefits.

Besides, his brother-in-law had also repeatedly told him to do whatever Zong Jinghao asked for.

Many did not know, but as Tang Che’s brother-in-law, he knew just how much power Zong Jinghao held in his hands.

To outsiders, Tang Che was a joint investor in Superior Investment Bank, but in reality, it was only in name. In fact, Tang Che did not invest a single penny. It was not that he refused to invest, but Zong Jinghao did not allow him to.

The two of them had a good relationship. And when Zong Jinghao took over Wanyue, Tang Che never once caused him trouble.

Tang Che was a smart person. He knew what Zong Jinghao was capable of. Hence, when Zong Jinghao said that it would not be a joint-stock company, he knew that it was because Zong Jinghao did not want others to have a say in it.

Thus, he did not ask for any shares. As the head of HSBC, he had connections, so he proposed to say that it was a joint venture to fend off anyone who might have hidden agendas. Zong Jinghao agreed because firstly, it was good to have some business dealings with Tang Che, and secondly, it would save him a lot of time and trouble as no one would dare to mess with him.

Zong Jinghao had made his decision after weighing the pros and cons.

Thereafter, Superior Investment Bank was established. As Tang Che and Zong Jinghao had planned, everyone thought that they were joint investors. No one knew that it was in fact only Zong Jinghao with full power over it.

That was because Zong Jinghao had been keeping a low profile.

Even so, he did not mistreat Tang Che. He ensured that Tang Che would get dividends every year.

Without doing anything, money would come flowing into his account. Thus, he had no complaints about that.

In the past few years, Superior Investment Bank had matured exponentially. Wanyue Group had an internal elite pitching team that expertly maneuvered the company according to the economic trend. Wanyue branched into many countries, investing with the lowest capital at different windows of opportunity, and maximizing the profits.

He had built an economic network.

However, no one knew much about it, only that he was investing locally.

Li Qirui leaned on the table and looked at Zong Jinghao with a grin. “Do you think I can-”
