Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 435 He is Qu Wannian's son-in-law
These executives managed to shout out a chorus of agreement.

Yu Minghui felt a sudden buzzing in his head, as if he had been hit hard on the head with a hammer.

"roll!!"

He pointed at the door like a madman:

"Get out of here, all of you!"

The roar startled the executives, who quickly slunk away.

Yu Minghui then picked up the water glass on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.

Not satisfied, he threw another ornament off his desk.

He now has a stress response; he loses control of his emotions whenever he hears the words "the chairman is in trouble."

He took a few deep breaths and managed to calm himself down.

Hearing the silence inside, the person outside gently knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Yu Minghui responded.

The executives pushed open the door and entered. This time, no one spoke; instead, they cautiously approached the desk.

After confirming that Yu Minghui had calmed down, one of the executives tentatively asked:

"Chairman, are you alright?"

"Just say what you have to say," Yu Minghui said impatiently.

He was mentally prepared.

Since so many senior executives have come together, the matter must be quite serious, perhaps even more complicated than yesterday's incident.

"Our acquisition plan has failed."

The executive looked very grim.

"Two rice companies and a rice processing plant all sent notices this morning saying that they have already reached a cooperation agreement with another company, so we have no chance."

He'd been robbed of his chance... Yu Minghui's mind went blank; he simply couldn't believe what he was hearing.

After such long negotiations, the acquisition was snatched up by someone else in just one day?

It took him a while to recover, and he asked:

Do you know which company is competing with us?

"We've already found out; it's Yisheng Group," the executive replied.

"The other party seemed completely unafraid of offending us, so they made no attempt to conceal their true intentions."

"Yisheng Group?" Yu Minghui muttered to himself twice, then suddenly felt something was off. He looked up at the executive:

"That doesn't make sense. Yisheng Group doesn't do food business, so why would they acquire a rice company?"

"Is he sick or what...?" he cursed inwardly.

We're not even in the same industry, so what are you competing with me for, especially since you're trying to acquire such an important business as a rice company?

Isn't this tantamount to openly stealing business from Buxton?

“The other party not only disrupted our acquisition plan, but also controlled our supply channels.”

Another executive chimed in:

"The companies we are currently working with have indicated that all their inventory has been pre-ordered by Yisheng Group and will no longer be sold to others."

This is a battle of wills... Yu Minghui isn't stupid; he immediately understood the meaning behind the executive's words.

He simply couldn't understand why Yisheng Group would do such a thing.

They usually have no interaction whatsoever; he only knows the other person by name.

However, he was clear about one thing: the other party's financial resources were far beyond his own.

It's no exaggeration to say that in terms of financial resources, ten Baitongs couldn't even compare to a fraction of Yisheng's.

Different businesses lead to different levels of success.

Yisheng's core businesses include various mainstream sectors such as real estate and finance, and in recent years they have also started to develop renewable energy projects.

For example, solar energy and wind energy.

Green energy is something the country strongly advocates, and Yisheng is currently doing a great job in it.

To put it simply, none of the projects undertaken by Yisheng Group would be accepted by Baitong. The reason is simple: they lack the financial resources.

"They acted way too fast."

Yu Minghui rubbed his throbbing temples:
“We’ve been negotiating the acquisition for so long, and they made the decision overnight. Such a large conglomerate must have held a board meeting to discuss it.”

He felt that Yisheng had acted too hastily this time; how could a cross-industry acquisition be decided so quickly?

"Chairman, I know a bit about Yisheng."

One of the executives stepped forward:
“A classmate of mine works in management at Yisheng. According to him, although major decisions within the group must go through the board of directors, in reality, the final decision is made by Chairman Qu Wannian.”

"You could say that Yisheng is essentially Qu Wannian's one-man show."

Before Yu Minghui could react, another executive added:
"This acquisition is hardly a major decision for Yisheng. I estimate they didn't even hold a board meeting."

That was Qu Wannian's idea all by himself... Yu Minghui finally understood.

The two executives were telling him in a coordinated manner: Qu Wannian is going to get you.

After understanding, Yu Minghui became even more confused.

I have never had any dealings with Qu Wannian, so how did I get involved with this powerful figure?

To put it bluntly, with my current strength, I'm not even worth the other party personally taking action.

What's going on here?
First, the authorities came and gave them a severe dressing down, and then Qu Wannian brought Yisheng Group to cause trouble.

Could there be some kind of connection between them?

Or rather, they're all breathing through the same nostril?
"Go and find out why Qu Wannian did this," Yu Minghui ordered.

He doesn't believe that the head of a group would attack other companies without reason.

There must be some reason for this.

"Chairman, there's no need to investigate further."

The executive looked at him with a solemn expression, his eyes revealing a complex and indescribable emotion:

"The policeman who recently had a falling out with Young Master Yu is Qu Wannian's future son-in-law. Almost everyone in the industry knows this."

He paused briefly, seemingly observing Yu Minghui's reaction, before continuing:

"Furthermore, Qu Wannian has no sons, only a daughter, who is said to be his lifeblood."

"Moreover, Qu Wannian was a soldier before and held an important position in the army."

At this point, the executive's voice lowered slightly:
"Therefore, he still retains that military style to this day. Once he has made up his mind about something, he will never easily change his mind."

It's over, we underestimated them... Yu Minghui felt a chill run down his spine when he heard the last part.

When we investigated that young policeman before, we only saw the very surface of his character.

Who could have imagined that a boy from an ordinary family would become the son-in-law of the Qu family?

Isn't it said that high society values ​​marriage between people of equal social standing? Why did the Qu family choose such a person?

Looking at it this way, I'm not wronged at all.

Given Qu Wannian's status, he would naturally stand up and support his future son-in-law if he were bullied.

"You two worked together very well."

Yu Minghui's face was extremely pale at this moment, and he unconsciously muttered to himself:

"The seamless connection between officials and businessmen first damaged my vitality, and then Qu Wannian stabbed me in the back."

He realized that the official response wasn't a retreat, but rather a way to give up the opportunity to finish off the opponent.

When the government intervenes to eliminate local businesses, it inevitably earns a reputation for bullying the weak and settling personal scores.

But if another company were to take over, the whole thing would be completely different.

This is called business competition, and no one can find fault with it.

"This is to wipe out everyone."

Once he realized the situation, Yu Minghui didn't even have the thought of struggling anymore.

Neither the government nor Yisheng Group can compete with him.

Just when he was feeling utterly hopeless, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps at the door.

The CFO rushed into the room, his face showing anxiety.
"Chairman, something's happened!"
