London, England, Ling Ruoyun's residence, Ling Ruoyun at this moment walked back and forth in the main hall of the villa with an anxious look, looking up from time to time to look at the antique clock placed in the main hall.

When the bell rang nine times, the door of the villa was gently pushed open, and Zhou Shouxin walked in with a slight reproach in his expression, "Madam, the Central Bank of England has rejected our loan request......

Ling Ruoyun's face changed slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she asked, "Did you meet President Shawshank?"

Zhou Shouxin looked quite angry and said: "I rushed over with your name card, madam, but I came out to see me but only a deputy branch manager of the British Central Bank, after reiterating that I must see Shawshank, they gave me the reply that their Shawshank president is now on a long vacation in Switzerland...... It's just nonsense, the day before yesterday my subordinates reported information to me, and I saw Shawshank and an Oriental walking side by side on the street on Needlework Street, talking and laughing. ”

After listening to what Zhou Shouxin said, Ling Ruoyun gradually calmed down, and after a little muttering, he said: "The Bank of England should have reached a consensus with the consortium that is buying all the companies under my name, hmph, very good, it can make Shawshank abandon me, a friend I have been friends for thirty years, and turn to unite with others to deal with me, the other party's energy is not ordinary!"

In the three months since he returned to London, Ling Ruoyun has not had an easy day, with a total of fifteen companies under his name being acquired by an unknown behind-the-scenes consortium at the same time. Ling's Group's request for a loan to save the market, which had a good reputation, was rejected by all major British banks, and so far, even Ling Ruoyun's most information-rich loan has been ignored by the Central Bank of England.

And the timing of the other party's choice is also coincidental, to the extent that it makes people feel that this is clearly a conspiracy. Four months ago, Ling Ruoyun just used two-thirds of the group's working capital to build a Chinese entertainment city with a total cost of five billion euros in London's Chinatown, this huge building named "Tang City" is a large project that Ling Ruoyun has carefully planned for three years, and finally got the approval of the British government's Land Bureau to break ground four months ago, which really made Ling Ruoyun happy for a while.

However, the outflow of funds four months ago has led to the crisis of Ling's capital flow interruption, and in the case of not being able to borrow any money from the bank, to this day, four of the 15 companies under the name of Ling's Group have been successfully acquired by the other party. Ling Ruoyun now holds 35 percent of the shares in hand, the six shareholders who raised funds at the beginning have 3 percent each, and the listed shares are 49 percent.

Judging from the initial statistics of Yizi Vincent, who specializes in business intelligence collection under Zhou Shouxin, at least 30% of the shares of the Ling Group have fallen into the hands of the deeply hidden behind-the-scenes consortium.

These are not the things that worried Ling Ruoyun the most, what made her even more worried was that the behind-the-scenes consortium against her this time was not an ordinary person, because the two nominees sent by Zhou Shouxin to investigate the details of the other party were all floating corpses in the Taiwushi River on the second day after receiving the task, and the results after Zhou Shouxin's personal autopsy were very shocking, one was that the meridians were split and died. The other died of blood drying up all over his body.

The two different ways of death showed that there was very likely to be more than one consortium behind this conspiracy to acquire the Ling Group, and the meridians were broken by the True Yuan Force...... When the blood dries up, it is sucked away......

Cultivators and blood clans, these two words that are difficult to associate together were confirmed at the moment when Zhou Shouxin and his two sons floated on the corpse river.

This is also the relationship between Ling Ruoyun and the three of them after receiving this news in Shanghai, and he didn't want Bai Cen to interfere in it.

"Keep your word, how much liquidity is left that the Ling clan can use now?"

Zhou Shouxin bowed his head and said silently: "Counting the 300 million funds urgently withdrawn from Tangcheng's huge investment, a total of 1.6 billion euros. ”

"Invest 5 billion ...... After the emergency withdrawal, I can only get back 300 million?"

"In addition to the normal construction expenses, the rest of the funds are all withheld by the land bureau, and I have run the land bureau seven times in the past few days, but their director has always been closed. The situation is almost the same as today when I went to the Bank of England to ask for a loan. ”

"Even the land bureau under the British government can influence ...... This should be such a huge force, but why buy me, a small group with total assets of just over 30 billion euros!"

Ling Ruoyun waved his hand a little tiredly and said: "Put all these 1.6 billion funds into the bailout, our stock price can't fall anymore, if Ling's stock price drops by another ten percentage points." It doesn't take three days for the Ling consortium to change its surname. ”

Zhou Shouxin said with red eyes: "Madam, I will definitely find out the head of this behind-the-scenes consortium." Listening to the ferocity in his words, it was obvious that he had moved to kill.

"Keep your word, don't come nonsense, you can make more money if you don't have money, and if you don't have life, you will have nothing, it is the corpses that you personally examined for York and Myerson. You should know very well that the other party is not an ordinary consortium, but also involves the tentacles of dark forces. You are now in the realm of Jindan, which is equal to the strength of the blood clan viscount, why should you fight with others. ”

Zhou Shouxin was stunned, as if he remembered something, and said with a hint of joy: "Madam, weren't you very familiar with the three directors of the Tianbao Consortium when you were in Shanghai, can we ......?"

Before Zhou Shouxin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Ruoyun and said, "Don't implicate the Tianbao Consortium, I will think of other ways." It's also late, you hurry back and rest, I want to be alone. ”

With Zhou Shouxin's understanding of Ling Ruoyun, you could hear that Ling Ruoyun's tone revealed a strong meaning, and you couldn't help but say in your heart, "Why didn't Madam ask for help with the great help of the Tianbao Consortium...... Maybe I should contact the Tianbao Foundation privately, as long as I can save the Ling family, even if I lose my life, it doesn't matter, not to mention that there is no risk in itself, even if it is known by Mrs. in the future, it is a big deal to admit my mistake when the time comes......"

With this thought, Zhou Shouxin bowed and turned around and left the villa.

In the huge CEO's office on the top floor of the headquarters of the Tianbao Consortium built in the inner city of London, Lin Yuhong was frowning, his knuckles tapping rhythmically on the mahogany desk, looking preoccupied.

"It's been almost three months since I've been back in London...... But with his own connections and channels, he still can't find out who is behind the Ling consortium that wants to buy Miss, and the other party is hiding too deeply......"

Just as Lin Yuhong was thinking, a blonde white-collar beauty dressed in professional attire knocked on the door and walked into the office with a stack of folders.

"Mr. Lin, all the information you want me to investigate is here. ”

Lin Yuhong motioned to the secretary to put the folder down, waved her hand to let her out, but the blonde secretary hesitated, and then said: "Mr. Lin, just yesterday, someone from the British Inland Revenue came to our headquarters with a phi text, and you were in Yutianbao at that time, because this is also a normal tax inspection procedure in reason, so it didn't bother you, but this morning you asked me about the cash flow available to the headquarters now, I think it is necessary to report this matter to you." ”

"British Inland Revenue?" Lin Yuhong raised his eyebrows, keenly aware of a trace of uneasiness, "How many years have we not conducted a tax inspection on our consortium...... What a coincidence......"

The blonde secretary obviously didn't understand Lin Yuhong's "good coincidence", but just said it clearly, "Within a week, all the liquidity of our consortium will be greatly restricted from circulation, fortunately, the consortium has not invested in any major projects recently, and there is no need to worry about this affecting the income of the consortium." ”

Lin Yuhong's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and his eyes gathered on the stack of materials that were on the table at this moment, which detailed the details of the acquisition of the Ling family by a deeply hidden consortium in the past few months, and even included how many shares the other party had received from the Ling family, and evaluated how much money was invested in this acquisition and the expected time to complete the acquisition of the Ling family.

This is the precious information obtained by Lin Yuhong after asking the five financial strongmen collected by the Tianbao Consortium to work continuously for a week a week ago.

Hurriedly turning the statistics to the last page, several estimated dazzling numbers appeared in front of Lin Yuhong's eyes, making him tremble slightly, and his eyes showed an extremely rare look of horror.

According to statistical assessments, the total investment of the other party for the acquisition of Ling's Group is 90 billion euros...... "The acquisition with an investment far higher than the total assets of Ling's Group, although there can still be a small profit on the premise of capital preservation after the completion of the acquisition, this can definitely not be called a businessman's intention."

"It is estimated that the other party will fully acquire the listed shares of Ling's in the near future, which has fallen by 30 percentage points, and suppress the stock price to the lowest point to make a fatal blow, and the time to fully control the Ling's Group is estimated to be ...... a week later."

"Anna, you go down first. ”

After the blonde secretary left, a look of hesitation flashed in Lin Yuhong's eyes, and he finally picked up the phone, "Lao Bai, the situation is not optimistic, is it like this...... This matter is full of weirdness, and the behind-the-scenes forces against Miss Ling's group have strong funds that are not inferior to our Tianbao Consortium, and they also have extremely deep connections with the high-level of the British government...... Judging from the current situation, if you want to keep the Ling Group without loss, it will take at least 150 billion euros to operate to succeed, and if it is a miserable win, it will need at least 50 billion euros. ”

"I suggest telling the boss about this matter immediately, according to the intelligence I got here, the forces behind this scene are not only involved in the cultivators, but also inseparable from the dark forces in the lower city......
