44: Chapter 44 Matsumoto's Analysis

Watching the black business car quickly drive away, Wang Shuo sighed with some melancholy.

However, remembering Chen Xin's strange, almost provocative look before leaving, Wang Shuo gritted his teeth slightly.

"This girl is getting less and less obedient."

Checking the time, it was already 10:10 PM, and the lights would be turned off in twenty minutes.

Wang Shuo seized the time to buy a bottle of water, went upstairs, and opened the door.

Just after entering the door, he keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the dormitory was slightly unusual, and he looked around.

"Where is the fourth one?"

"The fourth one isn't here." Zheng Jun, who was lying on the top bunk watching Wang Shuo, flipped off the bed, came to Wang Shuo's side, and circled him, looking him up and down with clicking sounds of admiration.

Li Li pushed up his glasses, set aside his beloved laptop, and stared straight at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo was confused.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"Second one," Zheng Jun shook his head, "You're not being honest."

"I'm not being honest?" Wang Shuo widened his eyes, "How am I not being honest?"

"Still pretending." Zheng Jun turned around, picked up his phone, tapped it a few times, and handed it to Wang Shuo: "Look, look, who is this?"

Wang Shuo focused and observed. The dim environment, the familiar track, two figures standing face to face, holding hands...

Why is it so familiar?

"You're even holding hands, and you're still pretending!" Zheng Jun clicked his tongue twice: "Second one, oh second one, I couldn't tell, you have such a trick up your sleeve. It's only been a few days, and you've already succeeded? It seems the trope of saving a damsel in distress and being hospitalized is quite useful."

"If I hadn't run a few more laps today, rested for a while, and happened to run into you, I really would have been kept in the dark by you."

Zheng Jun patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder, very gently to avoid hurting Wang Shuo's seemingly frail body: "Tell us, second one, we're all brothers, we'll keep it a secret for you."

Wang Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Boss, things aren't the way you think…"

Next...

"That's how it is, Boss. Chen Xin hates my guts right now."

"Third one, do you believe him?" Zheng Jun asked suddenly.

"I don't believe him." Li Li shook his head, then added: "Unless you show me the system you designed."

"Showing you is no problem… The issue is I don't have it on me right now." Wang Shuo spread his hands helplessly, "I do have a backup in Software Park, how about tomorrow?"

"No time." Li Li shook his head and picked up his laptop again.

"See, second one, what you're saying can only fool us once; that's exactly how you fooled us last time!" Zheng Jun was clearly very resentful.

The key is that I didn't fool you guys last time either...

I'm so wronged...

...

At this moment, in a luxury suite on the top floor of the Sheraton Hotel.

Matsumoto Bieyun was sitting in front of a tablet computer, looking displeased. The screen displayed the face of a Middle-aged man.

"Father, I…"

"I already know." The Middle-aged man on the other side said indifferently.

"But I don't accept this!" Matsumoto Bieyun looked annoyed: "I suspect this is a trap set by that old man Chen Zhongxuan and that girl Chen Xin together!"

"Watch your language!" The Middle-aged man's tone became a bit stricter: "You are the only child of this generation of the Matsumoto family; you represent the honor of the entire family!"

"Show your sense of family honor, show your noble temperament!"

"Yes." Matsumoto Bieyun lowered his head, feeling aggrieved, but his eyes were full of defiance. If it weren't for that girl Chen Xin deceiving him with her look of martyrdom, making him mistakenly believe she had no trump cards, how could he have fallen so hard.

"One more time, and I'll deduct all your activity funds." The Middle-aged man said indifferently.

"I understand."

"You just said that this is a trap set by Chen Zhongxuan and Chen Xin together, which is very likely." The Middle-aged man's tone was flat: "According to your analysis, what is Chen Zhongxuan's purpose in doing this? What good does it do him to create a weak Chen Group?"

"Too many benefits." Matsumoto Bieyun raised his head and analyzed: "First, there's the stock. A weak Chen Group will lower confidence in the stock market, causing the Chen Group's stock price to plummet. This kind of crisis looks very serious and could cause a chain reaction collapse of the group at any time, but…"

Matsumoto Bieyun's eyes flashed with wisdom: "But what if Chen Zhongxuan has a backup plan? What if Chen Zhongxuan has one final trump card that can guarantee a market rescue?"

"You mean…"

"If I were Chen Zhongxuan, I would choose to enter the market before the stock crashes to the limit and invest funds to buy a large amount of my own company's stock." Matsumoto Bieyun frowned: "Doing this would have two benefits. First, it stabilizes the Chen Group's stock and prevents it from falling too severely; of course, this approach is like a drop in the bucket before the stock market crashes. Then Chen Zhongxuan's main focus is the second purpose: taking the opportunity to short his own stock, buy a large amount of stock at a low price, and concentrate equity. As long as he holds a large amount of stock, Chen Zhongxuan can advance and attack, or retreat and defend."

The Middle-aged man nodded: "A good analysis. So tell me, how is Chen Zhongxuan invincible?"

"If this external crisis of the Chen Group is resolved, Chen Zhongxuan can take the opportunity to grasp most of the company's decision-making power. If the crisis is not resolved, then with the recovery of confidence in the Chen Group's stock market, he can also sell a large amount of his own stock to cash out. This money is enough for the Chen Group to survive this crisis, and Chen Zhongxuan's goal will be partially achieved. That old fox Chen Zhongxuan doesn't lose either way!"

"The analysis is very complete." The Middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction: "But you still missed one point."

"Missed a point?" Matsumoto Bieyun was stunned.

"Human nature." The Middle-aged man said indifferently: "There is an old Chinese saying: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Before negotiating with the Chen Group, you should have understood the structure of the Chen Group."

"In the Chen Group, there is a pillar-like figure, and that is Chen Zhongxuan, the chairman of the Chen Group. It was he who single-handedly developed the Chen Group from a small real estate company into a behemoth with a market value of hundreds of billions, covering a wide range of fields. Just what has been publicly announced includes real estate, transportation, service industries, retail, etc. But there is one problem: Chen Zhongxuan is a matrilocal son-in-law."

"Although he is the chairman of the Chen Group, the shareholders and directors are all members of the Chen family, his wife's side. These people are greedy, profit-seeking, and double-dealing, and they are not capable of anything. If the Chen Group is strong, they naturally won't have any dissent, but if the Chen Group shows even a little weakness, or goes directly to the verge of collapse…"

Matsumoto Bieyun's eyes lit up: "They will spare no cost to sever their relationship with the Chen Group, including their equity!"

"Taking the opportunity to sell it for a good price while it's still worth something; this is human nature." The Middle-aged man said indifferently: "If I'm not mistaken, Chen Zhongxuan should now have actually grasped most of the Chen Group's equity, and may even have exceeded the threshold for absolute control."

"Then what should we do?" Matsumoto Bieyun said: "If that old fox Chen Zhongxuan is so patient and waiting for an opportunity, then he should be launching it within these few days."

"I have my own arrangements." The Middle-aged man glanced at his son: "You are still a bit impulsive. If a person cannot control their own emotions, then how are they any different from an animal?"

"Yes, I understand." Matsumoto Bieyun lowered his head. He was genuinely convinced this time. Calculating others while even factoring in human nature—he was still far from reaching that level.

"There is one more thing." The Middle-aged man frowned: "The system Chen Xin brought out this time is related to a small company called Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. I checked, and the legal representative of this company is called Wang Shuo."

"This should… not have anything to do with this company, right?" Matsumoto Bieyun asked curiously: "I think this is all a trick directed and performed by the Chen Group itself."

"Whether it's a trick or not doesn't matter." The Middle-aged man shook his head: "Find this Wang Shuo, make contact first, and remember, don't mess it up again."

"Okay, Father, don't worry!" Matsumoto Bieyun said firmly: "I will definitely dig out all of this Wang Shuo's secrets for you!"

"Hmm." The Middle-aged man nodded indifferently. He didn't need to personally teach him about such a small matter.

"Also, Father…" Matsumoto Bieyun's eyes were filled with hatred: "That girl Chen Xin doesn't know what's good for her and has repeatedly insulted my Matsumoto family and W Company. I want to make her pay!"

The other side was silent for a moment, for a long time.

"Decide for yourself. The Matsumoto family will not tolerate insults."

Matsumoto Bieyun looked up in surprise, but the other side had already hung up the video.

Father is… delegating power?
