This director is vindictive.

Chapter 582 Chen Mo's Fangs: Apology? No, I want a total wipeout!
"Is Mr. Xu here to act as a lobbyist for 'Future Chi'?" Chen Mo asked directly after answering the phone, skipping all pleasantries.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing chuckled lightly on the other end of the phone: "President Chen, your sense of smell is still so sharp. But you overestimate me; I'm just someone who relays messages."

She paused for a moment: "An old friend asked me to inquire whether there is any room for maneuver in this matter?"

Chen Mo tapped his fingers twice on the sofa armrest: "Did President Xu also invest in this company?"

"That's not true."

Xu Xing answered bluntly: "It's just that I owed Guo Quande a favor from his investors years ago. But to be honest—"

Her tone suddenly turned playful: "With their knock-off electric tricycles, I'm worried for them if they dare to stage an accident for Ms. Zhang."

Chen Mo sneered: "Do you know what I hate most? First, people who bully me, and second, people who treat me like a fool."

He glanced at Zhang Yuqi, who was being "tortured" by her sisters: "Now she has both."

The sound of papers turning over came from the other end of the phone; Xu Xing was clearly looking at documents: "They proposed to transfer 25% of the shares free of charge and ask Ms. Zhang to be the spokesperson for Future Chi."

in addition"

She suddenly lowered her voice: "I'm willing to hand over the mastermind behind this marketing stunt to take responsibility."

"Hehe! Mr. Xu, do you think I should agree?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Well, from a capital perspective, it's actually profitable. Although Future Motors isn't much among the many new energy vehicle companies, it's still a Hong Kong-listed company with the backing of a car giant. If Mr. Chen is willing to get involved and play the entertainment + new energy card, with his influence, the stock price will rise quickly."
Moreover, the biggest problem for Future Chi right now is that it is suspected of false and fraudulent advertising, but if this biggest problem is solved, it can still achieve something! Xu Xing analyzed.

"Of course, if Mr. Chen feels the conditions are not enough, the other side means that we can discuss anything! As long as you are lenient," Xu Xing continued.

"Tsk tsk! You've got a good plan!" Chen Mo clicked his tongue over the phone.

He admitted that as long as he gave his approval, the mess left by Future Chi wouldn't be a problem at all. With his influence in the business world, he could easily smooth things over with a few phone calls. After all, he had made considerable investments in the new energy sector over the years—he held shares in leading companies like BYD, Xiaomi, and CATL, although the percentages weren't large, they still carried significant weight in the industry.

Moreover, although Chen Mo has been deeply rooted in the film and entertainment industry over the years, his investments have blossomed everywhere. Why do so many people call him the god of investment?

Because he invests from a God-like perspective of the future, even though Shengshi Pictures' main business was already quite successful, the results were still not as good as his financial investments.

This is why Shengshi Pictures has been able to firmly hold the top position among film and television stocks for so many years.

As a visionary, Chen Mo couldn't possibly ignore the new energy sector. His private investment company holds shares in most of the high-quality new energy-related companies in China.

He might not be able to directly control one or two companies, but getting them to give him face as a shareholder is something he can do in a minute.

If they really put their mind to it, they could completely package FutureChi, this shoddy workshop, as a rising star in the "new energy vehicle industry." They could get a few media outlets to hype it up, get some celebrities to endorse it, and then use their connections to secure some technical collaborations. The stock price would skyrocket, making it incredibly easy to fleece investors.

But Chen Mo despised such despicable methods from the bottom of his heart.

Yes, he is now a financial tycoon, but at heart he is still the self-made man he once was. Other capitalists treat the stock market as an ATM and exploit investors, but Chen Mo has always made money honestly and openly—either through genuine investment skills or by monetizing his creativity, and he has never bothered with such deceitful tricks.

To put it bluntly, at his level, money is just a number. These days, he's all about getting things done quickly and decisively—making money through dishonest means? It's not even enough to satisfy his hunger, it's disgusting!
Despite Xu Xing being a venture capital tycoon, she is actually just investing on behalf of investors. Chen Mo, on the other hand, is completely different; it's all his own money.

"Mr. Xu, do you think I would be interested?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Xu Xing was at a loss for words.

Actually, she didn't have high expectations from the beginning, but it's hard to repay favors.

However, upon hearing Chen Mo's words, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This person is truly an oddball; it's safe to say that such people are extremely rare, both domestically and internationally.

He appears to be a director in the film and television industry, but in reality, he wields an astonishing amount of power, and his influence extends to all walks of life.

According to her understanding, besides the achievements that are known to the outside world, Chen Mo's undisclosed investments are actually the most shocking.

The title of "stock market guru" is truly well-deserved.

The key point is that she knows that Chen Mo's investment company, although it keeps a low profile in the industry.

But in reality, if it were truly made public, those so-called star fund managers wouldn't even be able to see the exhaust fumes from their cars.

What's most frightening is that Chen Mo's investment company's funds are not publicly disclosed, but many of the investors are people with powerful backgrounds, including many big names in the political and business circles.

Moreover, Chen Mo's network of connections is incredibly solid; he never resorts to underhanded tactics or skirts when making money.

You could say they make all their money cleanly. For these people, all the investors need to do is put in the money; there's absolutely no other risk.

According to some insiders in the industry, as long as Chen Mo doesn't betray his country, the large annual profit dividends are really not a big deal. Otherwise, do you really think a director who openly promotes having multiple wives and concubines, and even holds a wedding that's public knowledge, can get away with nothing?

Yes, that is indeed not illegal on the surface, but sometimes, some things are even more fatal from a moral standpoint than from a legal one.

And what happened? Chen Mo was completely unharmed. Whenever any excessive public opinion arose, it was suppressed without Chen Mo having to intervene.

They were even directly investigated by the water meter.

This is why, even though the investors behind Future Chi are equally powerful, they only communicate through industry investment heavyweights like Xu Xing, and dare not engage in any other unconventional operations.

Chen Mo is now famous, has a powerful background, and is incredibly wealthy.

So, even though it seems like Wei Lai Chi is offering a lot, it's really nothing to Chen Mo.

This guy is the kind of person who can give away billions of shares without saying a word.

"Alright, Mr. Xu, please tell them that there's nothing to discuss about this! Besides, the instigator will surely face consequences. I don't want to be targeted like this every now and then. Since we're all adults, we should know the consequences," Chen Mo said calmly.

"Okay, let's have tea sometime. I'll go pass on the message now." Xu Xing hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo turned around and joined the "punishment" team, casually slapping her round, perky buttocks again: "Tiger girl, are you happy to buy a trending topic for 300 million?"

"How did it go?" Xu Xing quickly called the other party.

"What else can we do? You guys shouldn't think about these things. He doesn't need a few bucks. Besides, if things really turn around this time, there will be no stopping the people who try to scam others. I guess he's just making an example of someone. Good luck to you guys," Xu Xing said irritably.

"Phew! Just as I suspected, the rumors about him being vengeful have finally come true!" The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's your suggestion?" the other person asked again.

"My suggestion? Since we can't save it, let's just sell Chen Mo out. Let him issue a public apology and send the complete chain of evidence of his fraudulent marketing tactics to the China Securities Regulatory Commission! As for Future Chi, haha, it's time to liquidate it and cut our losses. It's hopeless!" Xu Xing said.

"Isn't this a bit much? Isn't Guo Quande enough?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

"That's all I have to say. You can see for yourselves what the rest is!" Xu Xing said calmly, as the saying goes, "Good advice is hard to persuade a damn fool."

It's unclear whether the other party wanted to assess Chen Mo's worth or what.

The following day, FutureChi's board of directors issued an emergency announcement:
"Mr. Guo Quande has resigned from his position as CEO for personal reasons. The content of the previous press conference was his personal matter and has nothing to do with the company!"

An apology statement was also attached.

Further positive news followed: a well-known domestic new energy giant officially announced its acquisition of "Future Drive"!
Perhaps in their eyes, this was enough; the person involved had been kicked out and had even apologized.

What else do you want?
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh in exasperation when he saw this.

Especially the last message, it's clear that the other party is reluctant to give up the "Future Chi" shell.

But does he really think Chen Mo is easy to bully?

Soon, all sorts of dirt on "Future Motors" was unearthed like a volcanic eruption:

Product quality issues: Multiple car owners have complained that the driving range is seriously misrepresented.

Suspicion of financial fraud: Last year's sales data appears to be significantly inflated.

Management chaos: Frequent changes in senior management and fierce internal factional struggles.

These are just appetizers; the real show is yet to come.

First, several core parts suppliers for automakers issued statements announcing the termination of their cooperation with "FutureDrive".

Subsequently, FutureDrive's battery suppliers collectively raised prices significantly.

Meanwhile, several Future Motors car owners jointly filed a lawsuit against Future Motors to protect their rights, and the law firm in charge was Hongjing Law Firm, a top-tier red-circle law firm that has a close working relationship with Chen Mo!

Finally, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange reacted swiftly as well. At 3 PM, an emergency announcement appeared on its official website:
[Hong Kong Stock Announcement] Future Motors (stock code: XXXX) has suspended trading effective immediately due to suspected information disclosure violations, pending further investigation.

A regulator privately revealed: "The impact of this incident is too severe. We must take swift action, otherwise it will be difficult to quell market doubts."

In short, it all boils down to one sentence: "Future Chi" is completely finished!
