Chapter 594: 590. My Name is Yin Long (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
The next day, before Zhang Sicheng and his team had even taken action, Mu Jinyuan's side began to make moves.
During this period, Mu Jinyuan had of course noticed that the actions of Zhang Ran and his team were abnormal, and since his own work was already prepared, it was time to let Zhang Ran taste some bitter fruit.
Therefore, early the next morning, Mu Jinyuan's side began to demonize Zhang Ran on a massive scale, while simultaneously making the purpose of Zhang Ran's visit to Hong Kong seem impure.
They even incited some Hong Kong citizens to feel opposition toward Zhang Ran, packaging themselves as the victims.
As for whether Zhang Ran would leak information about Galaxy Capital, Mu Jinyuan still felt confident about that; given the premise of such matters, and with or without evidence—plus the fact that this was Hong Kong, their home base—he was not afraid of Zhang Ran making any waves.
The effect was quite obvious; starting from eight o'clock, the sentiment of opposition toward Zhang Ran in Hong Kong began to rise.
Added to this was the fact that Zhang Ran had made a large profit from the stock market last time, and a significant portion of that money had belonged to these very retail investors.
There were no shortage of people who played the stock market in Hong Kong; from eighty-year-olds down to teenagers, everyone played the stocks.
It could be said that this step taken by Mu Jinyuan was quite astute.
At the very least, now that the emotions were stirred up, it would be much easier for him to operate his fundraising.
And this also brought great trouble to Zhang Ran.
Sure enough, when Zhang Sicheng and his team began to take action, they encountered great resistance; many Hong Kong citizens began to spontaneously help Galaxy Capital defend against the attacks from Zhang Ran and his team, causing Zhang Sicheng and his team to suffer significant losses for a time.
"Dad, what do you think about this?" Zhang Sicheng was somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Zhang Ran, however, laughed, "Do whatever you were going to do; there is no need to pay attention to these matters."
"But once things like this ferment, then for us..."
Zhang Ran comforted him, "Rest assured, it's fine; just focus on doing your work."
Zhang Sicheng had done very well during this period, so well that it even surprised him, so Zhang Ran would not put any more pressure on Zhang Sicheng.
Looking at his father's calm demeanor, Zhang Sicheng really did feel the pressure in his heart ease; he exhaled slightly and then continued to work.
And because Mu Jinyuan had prepared for a long time for this day, the effect was very good; the offensive from Zhang Ran's side actually began to show a trend of retreating in defeat.
Mu Jinyuan believed that within the next few days, Zhang Ran would definitely suffer even greater losses.
And once he began to raise funds, and if the results were good, then companies like Nianrun Group would need to consider whether it was worth it, and consider whether Zhang Ran would win.
By that time, Zhang Ran would no longer be so unscrupulous.
Of course, Mu Jinyuan also knew that during this period, Zhang Ran's offensive would definitely become increasingly fierce, requiring a large amount of capital to support him through this time.
But he had also considered this point, and that was Qiu Qianyang; the funds on Qiu Qianyang's side were quite substantial, enough to support him.
And this situation was also seen by the people of Hong Kong, who for a time actually had the air of celebrating wildly.
Zhang Ran saw all of this, but he only smiled and said nothing.
"When do you plan to make your move?" Prince Haiman said.
Zhang Ran said, "Tomorrow, perhaps; otherwise, I'm truly afraid these people will tear me apart, and I'm a soft-hearted person—I just can't stand scenes like this."
Watching Zhang Ran put on a show of being compassionate and merciful, Prince Haiman curled his lip and said, "You really are a good actor."
Zhang Ran said with dissatisfaction, "Acting? If I wait another two days, do you believe these people will suffer even greater losses?"
"Heh, aren't you just afraid that the government will intervene, and you don't dare to go too far? Do you really take me for a fool?" Prince Haiman was even more disdainful.
"I can't be bothered to talk more with you; you just don't understand the mindset of us soft-hearted people." Zhang Ran seemed somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
Prince Haiman watched Zhang Ran's departing back and smiled.
Sure enough, this guy was someone who would pay back every slight; wasn't he just about to directly fleece those who had cursed him!
Most of the Hong Kong people who participated this time were surely those who had cursed Zhang Ran, so it was only natural that Zhang Ran wanted to fleece them.
Just when many people's confidence was surging, the offensive from Zhang Ran's side became increasingly fierce.
Even with the support of many Hong Kong citizens, Galaxy Capital was still unable to hold on.
Therefore, Mu Jinyuan urgently summoned Qiu Qianyang, demanding that he mobilize the funds.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qiu Qianyang arrived at Galaxy Capital; this time he was wearing a suit that was clearly ill-fitting, and the style was also very old-fashioned.
Mu Jinyuan was somewhat surprised to see Qiu Qianyang like this, but he didn't think much of it; after exchanging a few brief pleasantries, he asked directly, "Boss Qiu, when will the funds be available?"
Other shareholders had also arrived; their side had stabilized for the time being, and after moving the funds back, there was actually no longer much of a crisis.
After all, that was the goal of Nianrun Group and the others.
Qiu Qianyang looked at everyone and suddenly began to laugh; he laughed very heartily and even more wantonly, and at the same time, his laughter made Mu Jinyuan and the others feel a chill in their hearts.
"Boss Qiu, what's wrong with you?" someone asked with concern.
Qiu Qianyang did not speak and just kept laughing, laughing until tears came out; finally, under the puzzled and worried gazes of Mu Jinyuan and the others, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "My apologies, everyone, the money probably won't be coming."
Mu Jinyuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the others felt the same.
"Boss Qiu, are you dissatisfied with the interest rate? We can talk about that; as long as we get through this time, everything is negotiable." Mu Jinyuan thought that Qiu Qianyang was trying to take advantage of the situation.
Although this made him feel angry, he could only try to appease Qiu Qianyang at this moment.
"That's right, that's right, Boss Qiu, don't worry, we definitely won't treat you unfairly after it's done."
"Yes, Boss Qiu, things have reached this point; the money is not an issue."
The others also spoke up one after another; they also thought that Qiu Qianyang wanted to take advantage of the crisis.
But who knew that Qiu Qianyang would say, "It's not the interest, and it's certainly not about the money."
Mu Jinyuan felt even more uneasy in his heart, "Then what is it for?"
Qiu Qianyang looked around the circle and finally said slowly, "Mu Jinyuan, when did we first meet?"
"If I remember correctly, it should have been '99, right?" Mu Jinyuan said with a frown; he didn't know why Qiu Qianyang was saying these things.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Ran and He Yong walked in; however, Zhang Ran was not wearing makeup at this time, and those employees of Galaxy Capital did not recognize him, thinking he was someone who had been by Qiu Qianyang's side before.
"No, you met in '89," Zhang Ran said directly.
When Mu Jinyuan saw Zhang Ran, he was completely stunned; he felt increasingly uneasy in his heart, and even somewhat fearful.
"Zhang Ran, what do you mean by this?" Mu Jinyuan took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart as he spoke.
This time Zhang Ran didn't speak; Qiu Qianyang spoke directly, "Let me introduce myself."
As soon as these words were spoken, the shareholders present were all stunned; self-introduction? What for?
"My name is Yin Long, born around 1975, apologies, I don't remember the specifics clearly either," Qiu Qianyang seemed somewhat apologetic.
