Chapter 1247: Chapter 1108: Business Deal - 1109: Ignore It (Double Chapter)

"That’s not what I meant," the short Supreme hurriedly shook his head, secretly grumbling to himself, why did the price go up?

This is really not the demeanor of a business negotiation! He sighed, "Among our Hongyun’s shareholders... there is a Supreme!"

"So what?" Bentley said expressionlessly, "There was once a Supreme trying to seize our mine!"

"What?" The short Supreme was stunned, almost popping his eyes out, "A Supreme seizing a mine?"

"How rare," Bentley sneered disdainfully, "If you don’t even know this, you must have been played!"

The short Supreme’s face darkened, remaining silent for a long time.

Others, however, were quick-witted. After hearing this, they hurriedly restrained their personnel to quickly disengage from the entanglement with Ping’an Security.

Ping’an also had security personnel who heard this, and many faces were full of schadenfreude.

Still, Hail’s expression remained unsightly—if only you had collected intelligence more diligently, Kading wouldn’t have died!

The short Supreme finally came to his senses, muttering in a low voice, "It seems... someone indeed is up to something."

He had already realized that targeting Ping’an’s mine this time was purely being used by someone else.

If they had known that the other party could withstand the pressure from the Supreme, how could Hongyun rush foolishly into such a pit?

It’s not necessarily that we can’t provoke a Supreme, but there’s no need—for this bit of profit, it’s not worth it!

The short Supreme quickly pieced together the related cause and effect.

He understood Hongyun’s current situation very well, although extremely powerful, there are also many strong-headed rivals, the key is... the bigger the tree, the more wind it catches!

In a place like Purple Star, strong-headed rivals might not intervene openly, but secretly causing trouble is normal.

And local forces mostly resist the strong—if you can deal with Ping’an, naturally you can deal with us!

Local forces might not all be friends of Ping’an, but they can sit back and watch both sides suffer, right?

So some people, knowing how powerful Ping’an’s backer is, wouldn’t inform Hongyun, but would instead appear cooperative.

Of course, many prefer to stay neutral and not help either side.

As a result, such important news was not discovered by Hongyun. To some extent, this was his serious dereliction of duty.

However, can you blame him? That’s just the reality!

Admittedly, his guess was quite close to the truth.

He could find local people to help, that’s not unusual, but even the government didn’t leak any information, there must be a reason.

Actually, another reason is that the topic of "Supreme" is really not something ordinary people dare to mention casually.

In short, the answer Bentley, Silver Fir, Xiao Moshan and others couldn’t figure out, he instantly understood.

This is not because the short Supreme has high intelligence; it’s purely due to the nature of business thinking.

Qu Jianlei’s team is skilled at fighting.

Everyone has no shortage of talent in battle, but in doing business... no one really has a knack for it.

After figuring this out, the short Supreme straightforwardly stated.

"Alright then, let’s say we at Hongyun were played this time... how about we go with the fifty billion you initially mentioned?"

Bentley snorted helplessly, "You were played, what does that have to do with us?"

The short Supreme replied without hesitation, "I can explain the situation, tell you who schemed against you."

Bentley snorted disdainfully again, "Even if you don’t say, we’ll find out, do you think that can be a reason?"

He spoke very dominantly, yet this topic entered the short Supreme’s area of expertise.

He stated very simply, "The other side merely hopes for us to fight to mutual destruction, why should you let them have their way?"

"Mutual destruction..." Bentley shook his head disapprovingly, as if you’re worthy? We’ve even beaten a Supreme before.

But he’s truly not good at business negotiations, and even finds the other party makes quite a bit of sense.

So he said, "First, tell who is scheming against us."

Actually, it’s quite obvious, it’s the Dukars they previously targeted, who tried to seize Ping’an’s business, thus forming a feud between them.

After reconciliation, Dukars encountered other issues, suffered significant business losses, and in the end, only one Supreme was left.

This one found it hard to hold out, and during its heyday, offended quite a few enemies for the sake of business.

Not wanting to continue struggling, and fears of dying unjustly one day, simply chose to sell off the business.

The Hongyun Financial Group was the one taking over, of course, before the acquisition, they had to do some assessment and investigation.

Chapter 1109. Don’t Pay Attention (Second Update)

During Dukars’ decline, Ping’an Trading Group caused significant losses to it, naturally being Hongyun’s investigation focus.

Ironically, Dukars’ Supreme still harbors some grudges over that incident.

Without that dispute, would flourishing Dukars have ended up in its current state?

He wouldn’t consider that initially Dukars schemed against Ping’an.

The information about an Energy Stone Ore in Ping’an’s possession was disclosed to Hongyun by Dukars’ Supreme.

Hongyun is well aware that whatever can make Dukars, a security company, suffer cannot be a pushover.

However, so what if it’s not a pushover? Hongyun has dealt with many troublemakers, and in the end, don’t they all obediently submit?

In the end, business is all about "might makes right, survival of the fittest."

Dealing with Ping’an Trading Group is no different than dealing with other forces for Hongyun; it’s all a familiar process.
