Chapter 263: Uniting to Drive Sheng Hanyu Out of L Country

She did not want his Diamond Mine; although it was a source of endless wealth, it was also very troublesome to manage.

Zhu Yiwen insisted on giving it, so Shi Youxuan suggested changing it to Shi Ran's name instead; in any case, everything he had would eventually go to Shi Ran, so it made no difference whether it was given sooner or later.

The matter of the contract was left unsettled, but Shi Youxuan sternly declared: from now on, Zhu Yiwen was not allowed to enter her room without permission, and he was absolutely forbidden from touching her belongings.

Zhu Yiwen agreed readily.

He had people searching for proof of contact between Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu, as he was afraid they were communicating privately behind his back.

The result of the search was very satisfying; there was nothing.

Zhu Yiwen proposed a new request, asking Shi Youxuan to help him deal with Sheng Hanyu!

"Fine." She agreed immediately, but she also had a condition: "I will only help you make it impossible for him to do business in L Country; I won't care about anything else, and I won't step forward myself."

"Of course." The two reached a consensus.

General Manager's office of Xuanran Company.

"Hello, we are from the Securities Regulatory Commission; please list your company." The visitor handed over a business card.

Although stocks had been around globally for quite some time, they were still a novelty in L Country; here, stock listings did not require an application, only an invitation.

Once a company reached a certain scale, people from the Securities Regulatory Commission would come to invite it to list and issue shares to promote the national economy.

In order to attract companies to list, the state also had a series of preferential policies, one of which was to elevate the status of the company's legal representative and improve their social standing.

Wang Yong was quite happy and kept winking at Sheng Hanyu, meaning: Brother, what are you still hesitating for? Hurry up and agree.

Sheng Hanyu was not actually hesitating; he was just looking for a reason to refuse.

"This is too sudden; we need to hold a meeting to discuss it." He did not refuse directly, nor did he agree immediately.

After the people left, Wang Yong was immediately anxious: "Oh, Brother, why didn't you agree? What a great opportunity; many people want to list but don't even have the qualifications."

"We've only been established for a month and we have such an opportunity; what a great honor! Why not agree, why..."

He paced around the office in a hurry; Wang Yong did not understand Sheng Hanyu, but Sheng Hanyu could understand him.

He had never done business and did not understand the ins and outs of this.

Sheng Hanyu said: "You only see the benefits and not the drawbacks. If we agree, it's equivalent to everyone watching us make money; as long as they have enough capital, they can buy out Xuanran at any time and then kick us out."

Wang Yong was stunned: "It can be like that?"

"Yes."

He nodded.

The news that Xuanran Company refused to list soon reached Zhu Yiwen's ears, and he was not surprised.

He would only be surprised if Sheng Hanyu had agreed easily, but he could not refuse either; this was L Country, not Jiangzhou, and not a place where he could cover the sky with one hand.

The people from the Securities Regulatory Commission, accompanied by people from the Tax Bureau, came to the door again and told Sheng Hanyu that if he did not agree to the company listing, they would increase the taxes.

In order to attract foreigners to invest and do business, L Country had many preferential policies, one of which was tax reduction and exemption; now that this exemption had not yet expired, the Tax Bureau was unilaterally proposing to void it.

Wang Yong was furious and wanted to turn against them immediately.

Sheng Hanyu stopped him and indicated to the people from the Securities Regulatory Commission: "Fine, we will list."

The two men left happily and reported back to Zhu Yiwen happily.

Zhu Yiwen called Shi Youxuan to the Study.

"You say, would he compromise so easily?" Zhu Yiwen was suspicious.

Shi Youxuan did not believe it either: "This is indeed not his style of doing things, but as long as he agreed, it's a good thing."

"As long as Xuanran Company lists, I can make his stock price hit the floor in minutes."

The name they chose—why call it "Xuanran" of all things?

When Shi Youxuan mentioned the company name, she had a feeling of wanting to destroy herself; it was so strange.

The administrative efficiency of L Country was consistently low, but it was very fast for Xuanran Company's listing; it only took one day to complete all the procedures, and the next day, Xuanran Silk gorgeously became a listed company.

As soon as the stock was listed, it frantically absorbed funds; within two hours, it became the stock with the highest growth rate of the year, attracting numerous retail investors to enter frantically.

"Brother, the stock has risen; shall we sell what we have in our hands?" Wang Yong rubbed his hands in excitement; the original shares had already doubled, and it hadn't even been half a day.

This was faster than making money by robbery.

"No rush, wait a bit longer."

From the moment the stock rose abnormally, Sheng Hanyu knew what they wanted to do.

They could have the company if they wanted it, but driving him out of L Country would not be so easy!

He did not sell the stock immediately, but instead injected a large amount of capital into his account to buy more, so the popularity of Xuanran's stock became even higher, and it rose even faster.

Zhu Zhai.

In the Study, Shi Youxuan frowned; although everything looked normal on the surface, she still felt something was not quite right.

"This isn't right; he should know someone is playing tricks behind the scenes. Why is he following along to buy instead of taking profits and exiting at this time?" She was completely puzzled.

Zhu Yiwen felt it was normal; if Sheng Hanyu didn't retain his equity at this time, Xuanran would smoothly become his.

Sheng Hanyu was not a fool; he should have been able to guess who was pushing up the stock price from the beginning. Zhu Yiwen felt that Sheng Hanyu had no choice but to do this, having to grit his teeth and jump even though he knew there was a pit ahead.

Otherwise, if the company changed hands, he would have no capital to compete with him in L Country!

"No, I still feel it's not that simple."

Shi Youxuan started out by trading; her sensitivity to stock prices was higher than Zhu Yiwen's. Although Zhu Yiwen was a good hand at doing business, he was not as good as her in this aspect.

Zhu Yiwen said: "It's fine, you don't need to overthink it. No matter what method is used, as long as we can get 51 percent of Xuanran's shares, you don't need to worry about the rest."

"Alright."

Since he had already decided, Shi Youxuan did not say anything more.

When the market closed in the afternoon, Xuanran's stock had risen by 86.4 percent; the stock had successfully risen several hundred times and was about to hit the sky.

"Brother, what if I sell my house and my gold, and use all the money to buy our company's stock?" Wang Yong stared at Sheng Hanyu with an expression of worship, as if he were a novice just entering the industry, his eyes filled with little stars.

When it had only risen two-fold that morning, he had wanted to sell, as he could have made quite a lot of money.

But now he no longer thought that way; now Wang Yong only wanted to trade everything he could turn into cash for company stock, so that he could soar to great heights in the future and bring honor to his ancestors.

His parents had severed ties with him many years ago because the path he had taken was not very honorable.

The people in his village both feared him and looked down on him.

Now that he could earn so much through his own ability by doing legitimate business, he could not only make money quickly but also hold his head high.

Sheng Hanyu said, "I'll tell you tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he turned and went back to rest, nearly worrying Wang Yong to death.

"Hey, Brother, don't go! Should I buy stock or sell the house tomorrow morning?"

There was no answer; he would have to figure it out himself.

Xuanran Company became famous the moment it went public!

Early the next morning.

Before the stock market had even opened, reporters from various television stations and newspapers in L Country were blocking the company's main entrance, demanding to interview the new rising star of L Country, General Manager Sheng Hanyu.

The car stopped at the company entrance, and before Sheng Hanyu could get out, he was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.
