Chapter 402: Coercion

"Brother Chen, you have use for me. In today's society, we are in the era of big data. Even if you are making medicine, you cannot do without the precise targeting of big data algorithms. If you give me some capital, I can set up an information department for you," Jun Jun said earnestly.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned; Jun Jun's words made him fall into deep thought.

He did indeed need a powerful information team that could handle various situations on the internet.

Just like the recently jumping-up-and-down De Ge; although he had left a backup plan and let De Ge be smug for a few days, if there were an information department, they could grasp many things in advance.

"Alright then, you stay. Don't worry about the compensation, but you are child labor, so the normal social insurance and housing fund might not be timely," Chen Yu nodded.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen. I'm not doing this for that; I feel that following you will allow me to spread my wings," Jun Jun said excitedly.

"Very well, thank you both. A talent like Jun Jun is a rare find," Chen Yu laughed.

"Chen Yu, Wu De's account is acting up again, saying that several of our new medicines at Tianyun are ineffective," Song Mengyan called again. "Now the company has no way to work normally; downstairs, it's full of people filming videos to chase clout."

"Fine, I'll go back to the company to take a look." Chen Yu hung up the phone, took Jun Jun with him, and rushed to Tianyun.

The area below Tianyun Building was indeed surrounded so tightly that not even water could trickle through.

There were busybodies who came to film videos in righteous indignation to condemn, and also some low-class internet celebrities coming to chase clout.

There were even teams wearing bizarre costumes, dancing awkward dances here to chase traffic, giving off quite the feeling of a gathering of demons and monsters.

Tianyun Pharmaceutical was currently facing severe cyberbullying. Led by Wu De, all sorts of unscrupulous self-media—everyone and anyone—came to post about Tianyun Pharmaceutical executives hitting people and falsely reporting the effectiveness of products.

Public opinion was one-sided, and the chain reaction it caused was also very intense. Now the stock price was falling sharply, and it felt quite like they couldn't hold on.

"Brother Chen, are these people crazy?" Jun Jun looked gloomily at the chaotic scene of demons dancing below the building, and he couldn't help but be speechless.

"Chasing clout and traffic; these people are just blackening for the sake of blackening," Chen Yu laughed and said. "But it doesn't matter, if they like it, let them continue."

"But Tianyun won't be able to hold on like this. If the funds are in place, I can set up the information department in two days and control public opinion," Jun Jun said earnestly.

"That capable?" Chen Yu couldn't help but take a look at this kid. Although this guy wasn't old, he spoke in an old-fashioned way, was full of confidence, and was quite persuasive.

"As a genius, I still have this much confidence," Jun Jun chuckled.

Tianyun Group, President's office.

Song Mengyan sat at the office desk, and on her desk lay a merger and acquisition plan.

Zhao Zhong sat on the sofa to the side, with a lawyer and several bodyguards standing behind him.

He lit a cigar, glanced at Song Mengyan faintly, and said, "President Song, what do you think of this merger plan?"

"Acquiring Tianyun at one-third of its price?" Song Mengyan closed the contract and smiled slightly. "President Zhao, I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why? Give me a reason for your refusal," Zhao Zhong said, squinting his eyes.

"There are many reasons, I won't list them one by one. President Zhao, please return; we at Tianyun are not considering a merger for the time being," Song Mengyan smiled faintly.

"President Song, you aren't unaware of the problems Tianyun is facing now, are you?" Zhao Zhong said with a chuckle. "I can offer this price now, but it doesn't mean I will be able to offer this price tomorrow."

"Your stock price is falling every day, and I don't think I need to say much about how much financial pressure you are facing."

"The company is ours, I naturally have a count of this in my heart," Song Mengyan nodded slightly and said. "But even so, we will not consider your merger, not now, and not in the future."

"Why? President Song, if it's about the price, I think we can still talk," Zhao Zhong said. "I came personally this time with full sincerity, and since I've come, I don't intend to go back empty-handed, so President Song, give me a price."

"Any good enterprise, once acquired by your Zhao Group, will be drained of its blood and finally leave in dismay, while your Zhao Group will make a fortune from it. Our Tianyun's purpose is, firstly, to run an enterprise with heart, and secondly, to provide the market with medicine that is cheap and effective."

"So the paths we take are different. Those with different Daos cannot make plans together. President Zhao, please return," Song Mengyan said flatly.

"Song Mengyan, calling you President Song is giving you face. Do you really think I'm giving you face?" Zhao Zhong's expression changed instantly. He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and stood up.

"What do you want to do?" Song Mengyan stood up, ready to press the alarm.

A bodyguard behind Zhao Zhong quickly stepped forward and smashed half of the desk with one punch; Song Mengyan failed to press it.

"Song Mengyan, I didn't come here today to discuss with you, but to notify you. Your Tianyun Group, I have acquired it. The price is just this much; you must agree whether you want to or not, and you must agree if you don't want to."

Zhao Zhong waved his hand, and two bodyguards stepped forward and pinned Song Mengyan's arms. Then Zhao Zhong picked up the contract and placed it in front of Song Mengyan.

"Zhao Zhong, this is forced buying and selling, this is illegal!" Song Mengyan shouted. "Let me go, right now!"

"Let you go? Honestly, Song Mengyan, I've played with you for so long, I've already given you enough face. If it were before, I would have used means to take your Tianyun long ago," Zhao Zhong sneered. "You know the status of my Zhao Group in Fengling. Even if I took you in public today, no one would dare to say a word."

"Make her sign," Zhao Zhong barked.

"Yes, President Zhao." The two bodyguards held Song Mengyan up, grabbed her hand, and were about to force her to submit.

Suddenly, two faint sounds of breaking through the air rang out, and two Silver Needles flew over rapidly.

The two bodyguards let out a miserable cry; a bloody hole appeared on the back of their hands. They staggered backward, and Song Mengyan immediately broke free from their control.

"Chen Yu, he wants to acquire Tianyun at a low price," Song Mengyan ran behind Chen Yu and said.

She had been very panicked, but after Chen Yu arrived, she wasn't afraid at all; Chen Yu was like her pillar of support.

"You go back first, I'll handle the matters here. By the way, this is Jun Jun, talk to him; the funds and venue needed should be in place as soon as possible," Chen Yu pointed to Jun Jun behind him and said.

"Alright." Song Mengyan nodded and left with Jun Jun.

Chen Yu turned around, closed the door, and locked it.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing?" Zhao Zhong's expression changed instantly when he saw Chen Yu.

"This is my company. You ran to my company to force a purchase, and you still ask me what I'm doing?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Heh, don't you look at what the situation of your Tianyun is now?" Zhao Zhong sneered. "The price I'm offering now is very fair. If you don't sell, in a week, your Tianyun will go bankrupt and close down. At that time, it will truly be worthless. Chen Yu, your ability is not bad, but compared to our Zhao Group, you are a hundred and eight thousand miles away, so don't challenge my patience," Zhao Zhong warned.

"Hmm, you are so anxious to acquire Tianyun, it's nothing more than seeing the powerful potential of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Market in the future, right?" Chen Yu laughed. "Your vision is still not bad, but it's a pity that a person like you won't make products properly, only steal the fruits of others' labor."

"I have money in my hands, why should I honestly make products? That's right, I have my eyes on the future market of traditional Chinese medicine, so I am determined to get Tianyun. Chen Yu, how much chance of winning do you think you have playing with me?" Zhao Zhong sneered.

"So the reason Wu De is crazily blackening Tianyun now, fabricating so many things out of thin air, is all your handiwork?" Chen Yu stared at Zhao Zhong and asked.

"That's right, it is my handiwork. I tell you, Chen Yu, I have plenty of money and plenty of background. The Zhao Group has never been afraid of trouble. If you want to play, I'll accompany you, but in the end, you will lose everything," Zhao Zhong said slowly with his eyes slanted.

"Hmm, it seems you are quite confident in yourself," Chen Yu sneered.

"This is the contract, take a look. If there's no problem, sign it. If I buy Tianyun now, you still have some soup to drink. Don't wait until the end when things are out of control and you really get nothing at all," Zhao Zhong pointed to the contract.
