Li Siwen's expression was extremely gloomy after hanging up the phone, he didn't expect that the other party's penetration had been so deep, it was obvious that the mastermind behind the Xiangjiang independence faction wanted to make all the affiliated enterprises of the Red Fox Foundation pay the price, as for what kind of crazy move the other party would make in the end, Li Siwen didn't dare to imagine, the only thing he could do was to survive this fight.

Yes, if it was for victory before, then this time it is only for survival, and this is the only chance for revenge.

However, the reality was much more difficult than he imagined.

On December 24, 1995, a report forwarded by the Beijing News completely detonated the entire Huaxia business district.

"Boss, look." Chen Qiuyu brought the newspaper to Li Siwen and read the headline: "Li Siwen, chairman of Datang Group, will fight against the odds and will compete with incense merchants on behalf of Huaxia." ”

When Li Siwen heard this headline, his brows furrowed instantly, and he took the newspaper and said, "Who wrote the news here?" ”

"It was the news of Xiangjiang that was reported first, and we reprinted it from that side." Chen Qiuyu immediately explained, and at this time, Han Jia, Xu Weiwei and Sparrow also walked in.

"We held an internal meeting on the 20th, and Secretary Sun emphasized that the content of the meeting should not be leaked." Li Siwen clenched his fists and said, "Fuck, which dog thing said it?" ”

"If you want me to say, it must be from the Beijing circle." Sparrow replied without thinking.

Li Siwen frowned, feeling that the sparrow's words were inseparable, and at this time Chen Qiuyu added: "Boss, you should take a look at the content of the report first, there is an interview with Dong Jiacheng by the Xiangjiang media." It is said that he came to China this time and he was the representative of Xiangjiang. ”

Li Siwen spread out the newspaper, read it carefully, and after a while, pointed to it and said, "Look at what he said." ”

Xu Weiwei picked up the newspaper and read: "Mr. Dong Jiacheng believes that Huaxia's investment promotion is a great progress for the world, and the arrival of incense merchants is not to compete with Chinese businessmen for the cake, but to bring advanced ideas and industries to China, hoping to contribute to China's economic construction."

Mr. Dong Jiacheng emphasized that the incense merchants are very interested in the core land of the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Yang, and they are determined to get it, because only the incense merchants can achieve the value of these three plots.

He also said that the relevant leaders of Huaxia were very supportive of the acquisition of the three plots of land, and the major real estate developers in Huaxia also reached a verbal agreement with him to avoid competition as much as possible.

In the end, he said that he hoped to be friends with Chinese businessmen, not enemies, because Chinese businessmen are still children in greenhouses and cannot withstand too much shock. ”

After Xu Weiwei finished reading it, she frowned and said, "It's polite throughout, but how do I think it's threatening Chinese businessmen?" ”

"The last two sentences should be a warning to the Chinese businessmen to make way for him." Chen Qiuyu also analyzed.

Li Siwen, who was sitting on the chair, smiled faintly: "Do you know what this is called?" Soft knives. ”

"Soft knives?" A few people muttered.

"That's right, use the most peaceful tone and say the most weighty words, this is a soft knife." Li Siwen exhaled and said, "It seems that the difficulty has increased again this time." ”

As soon as the words fell, his mobile phone rang, and it was the boss of Jianye Group who called, and the other party said politely: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, the shareholders of our company do not agree to participate in this investment, and you also know that businessmen talk about harmony and wealth, and there is no need to fight." ”

"Got it, thank you for informing me." Li Siwen replied.

"I'm really sorry, I'm blocking you in the morning, hang up first, and we'll cooperate if we have the chance." The other party hung up the phone in a hurry.

Li Siwen just put down the mobile phone, and another call came in: "Mr. Li, I am Mr. Hou of Junfa Group, we have held four or five conference calls in the past two days, and the final effect is not ideal, we may not be able to help." ”

"Okay, I got it." Li Siwen replied.

"Mr. Li, you remember to help talk to Mr. Zhu, we can't help it, I hope he won't be embarrassed. You also know that those incense merchants are not easy to mess with. Mr. Hou smiled bitterly and hung up the phone, and then Wang Shi called in again, but the other party did not directly say that Vanke was not involved in this matter, but said earnestly: "Brother Li, I have a lot of you, to put it mildly, Zhu Lao is always a good leader, but the internal fighting is too powerful, and it may not be possible for him to go down this time, so it may not be worth it for you to help him fight with Xiangshang, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Brother Wang, I understand, but I also hope you understand that fighting with Xiang Shang is not just about helping Mr. Zhu." Li Siwen replied softly.

"Could it be that you are still planning to change something on your own?" Wang Shi sighed and said: "Those incense merchants are more terrible than you imagined, I won't say more at this point, you can weigh it yourself." ”

After Wang Shi hung up the phone, Han Jia, who was standing aside, said, "Is it the call from Mr. Wang of Vanke?" ”

"Yes." Li Siwen nodded.

"What did he say?" Han Jiaren asked rhetorically.

"It must have persuaded me to give up, the Xiangjiang side released this kind of news just to force the Chinese businessmen to make concessions, and I estimate that the delegation headed by Dong Jiacheng has privately issued a warning to these Chinese businessmen." Li Siwen replied calmly.

"And what are you going to do?" After Han Jiaren asked this sentence, he said cautiously: "Actually, my father also called this morning, and he also suffered from pressure from Xiangjiang, and even some partners made it clear that they didn't want him to participate in this matter. ”

"Beauty, your father is right, and I don't want your Han family to get involved." Li Siwen paused slightly: "However, I have my own choice." ”

"But ......"

Han Jiaren wanted to say something, but Li Siwen got up and said, "Don't mention this matter, let's go out and eat something!" ”

Li Siwen stopped the discussion of this matter under the pretext of an excuse, but the next day he did not stop, basically a phone call would come in every half an hour, most of them refused to contribute to the auction, and sometimes there was a boss like Wang Shi, but he also persuaded him not to fight with the incense businessman.

At one o'clock in the morning, except for the chandelier on the door, the lights in the room in the courtyard were still on, but Li Siwen was still sitting in the living room, smoking quietly. His expression was not clear in the darkness, and only when the flame was lit could one faintly see his eagle-like eyes.

"You told me that whenever you pick up a cigarette, it's never because of stress, it's because of excitement." The sparrow came out of the darkness and said coldly: "Is it the same at this moment? ”
