Compared to Xiang Nan who was blessed with a son, Xu Kaiyang was a bit unlucky.
His father's Kaiyang Building Materials sold inferior building materials and caused a construction site accident, resulting in one death and two injuries, leading to a catastrophic disaster.
Originally, his father had already found a scapegoat and appeased the victim's family, so that the big problem could be reduced to a trivial matter.
Unexpectedly, this incident eventually attracted the attention of the media and reported it one after another, causing an uproar in public opinion.
The families of the victims, who had been soothed at first, suddenly started to make trouble. This caused things that had been settled once again to stir up trouble.
Kaiyang Building Materials was immediately prosecuted by the procuratorate. After a trial, Xu Kaiyang's father was imprisoned, sentenced to seven years in prison, and fined hundreds of millions.
Xu Kaiyang was forced to take charge of Kaiyang Building Materials in the face of danger.
But what he faced was a mess.
Because of this incident, Kaiyang Building Materials' reputation in Hujiang plummeted, and no one dared to cooperate with it anymore. Building materials previously sold have been returned one after another, and cooperation that has been agreed upon has also been cancelled, causing Kaiyang Building Materials to suffer huge losses.
In order to fill the hole in the company, Xu Kaiyang had to borrow money and sell off his properties. As a result, not only failed to save the company, but the company's financial situation became worse and worse.
Finally, after barely holding on for half a year, Kaiyang Building Materials filed for bankruptcy.
…
Just as unlucky as Xu Kaiyang was Zeng Yu.
Her mother's Xingchen Group was a construction company that purchased inferior building materials, resulting in construction site accidents.
Because of such a scandal, Xingchen Group was also investigated.
Zhou Qu, the company's vice chairman and project manager, and Feng Desheng, general manager of the subsidiary, were successively controlled by the police and were said to have committed serious economic problems.
Construction site accidents and high-level scandals have put Xingchen Group in a precarious situation, with its stock price plummeting for several days. The market value plummeted from more than 2 billion yuan to hundreds of millions of yuan, causing strong dissatisfaction among large and small shareholders.
The company encountered major changes, but Chairman Yu Jing was unwell and unable to take charge of the company, making Xingchen Group even more chaotic.
At this critical moment, Zeng Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over the company.
In order to keep the company, the first thing she has to do is to raise the stock price. Otherwise, Xingchen Group is very likely to be acquired by someone.
In this way, her mother's years of hard work will be in vain.
But raising the stock price requires money. In particular, it will take at least four to five billion yuan to bring the stock price back to its original position.
With so much money, Zeng Yu couldn't get it out for a while.
But now, external capital is eager to try it. Among them is Xingmao Investment, where Lin Jing is located.
…
Xiang Nan has been paying attention to this matter.
After knowing that Zeng Yu's company had a problem, he quickly reached out to her for help.
He used the house in his hand as a mortgage and borrowed 500 million yuan, which he gave to Zeng Yu to use to boost the stock price.
"Azheng, this..." Zeng Yu couldn't help but be moved when he saw Xiang Nan helping him so much. Two watery eyes looked at him, weeping.
These days, after the Xingchen Group incident, many old friends, old partners, and old acquaintances did not dare to see her in order to avoid trouble, let alone lend a helping hand, which made her a little disappointed in human nature.
But she didn't expect that Xiang Nan would not avoid the past. At this time, she was really moved to extend a helping hand to her.
"Zeng Yu, I promised you that I would do my best to help you, so I'm here now." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm helping you purely as a friend."
Zeng Yu's face darkened, then nodded, "I know, I'm already very grateful."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, do you know why the construction site accident was reported by the media even though it had been settled? And why did the family members who were comforted get up and make trouble?"
"I'm not sure. After what happened, too many things happened, and I haven't paid attention to them yet." Zeng Yu shook his head.
These days, she has been busy raising funds, boosting the stock price, and protecting the company, and she really has no energy to investigate this matter anymore. But she knew in her heart that there must be something fishy behind this matter.
Someone must have deliberately caused trouble to cause trouble again in an already settled matter. The family members who had been comforted started making trouble again.
"Is there a person named Shi Jie in your company?" Xiang Nan then asked.
"She is my mother's secretary, how do you know her?" Zeng Yu asked doubtfully.
"The construction site where the accident occurred was a project invested by Xingmao. The person in charge of the accident investigation was Xingmao's deputy manager Lin Jing. Shi Jie and Lin Jing studied abroad in Italy together, and they had a very close relationship." Xiang Nan explained, "Ren Tao, the prosecutor responsible for investigating the accident this time, is also Lin Jing's college classmate."
He has seen the plot and knows the joints in it.
After Zeng Yu heard this, he suddenly froze.
After a moment, she came to.
"So, the mastermind behind this incident is Lin Jing! He obtained the company's account books through Shi Jie, found evidence that Zhou Qu, Feng Desheng and others purchased inferior building materials, and handed it over to the prosecutor's office.
He also incited the victim's family members to cause trouble and made the matter public through the media. The purpose is to suppress the stock price of Xingchen Group so that Xingmao Investment can buy it at the bottom? Zeng Yu said with a frown.
"Xingchen Group is an old construction company that is well-known in Shanghai and even across the country. Lin Jing helped Xingmao Investment win Xingchen, which is definitely a great achievement.
By then, he will probably have great power because he has become the youngest manager of Xingmao. Xiang Nan nodded.
"What a cruel heart." Zeng Yu said through gritted teeth.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jing destroyed two companies just by herself! One general's success and ten thousand bones withered!
"Anyway, you have to be careful." Xiang Nan nodded, "If you need anything, please contact me again. As friends, I will try my best to help you."
Zeng Yu nodded.
…
With Xiang Nan's financial support, Zeng Yu was even more powerful and not only successfully boosted the stock price. He also bought a large number of shares at low prices, consolidating his mother's position as the largest shareholder.
Moreover, she also sent the wrong message to Lin Jing through Shi Jie. She made him mistakenly believe that if she didn't raise the money, Xingchen Group's stock price would plummet, thus delaying the timing of taking action and missing the best opportunity to acquire Xingchen.
Zeng Yu then launched an investigation into Shi Jie and called the police. Shi Jie was eventually sentenced to three years in prison for stealing trade secrets. Even after she was released three years later, no company dared to hire her with such a reputation.
It can be said that she ruined most of her originally good life for Lin Jing.
Although Lin Jing was not punished by law, he was not in trouble either. When he got off work in the evening, he was stabbed twice by Xu Kaiyang who was guarding downstairs of the company.
Following Shi Jie's accident, Lin Jing's collusion with her was also exposed.
Xu Kaiyang also knew that his father was imprisoned and Kaiyang Building Materials was forced to close its doors because of Lin Jing. He couldn't be more angry, so he wanted to take revenge on Lin Jing.
Although his two stabbings did not kill Lin Jing, they also seriously injured him and removed a pancreas and kidney, which will affect him for the rest of his life.
Xu Kaiyang was also imprisoned and sentenced to seven years in prison.
