Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

The next morning.

Chen Mo had just finished breakfast and was getting ready to go to school when Liang Junsheng called.

"Mr. Chen, something's happened."

Chen Mo paused for a moment as he picked up his schoolbag.

"What is it?"

On the other end of the phone, Liang Junsheng's voice was very low.

"Zhao Jianheng has been arrested."

Chen Mo's brow twitched slightly.

"Zhao Qiming's father?"

"right."

Liang Junsheng said, "Last night, someone suddenly filed a formal complaint, and the materials were sent directly to the provincial level. This morning, Zhao Jianheng was taken away."

"Zhao Qiming was also approached by the police."

"Several companies under Qihua Group have temporarily suspended operations to cooperate with the investigation."

Liang Junsheng paused for a moment.

"I thought it was someone behind you, Mr. Chen, who made the move."

Chen Mo smiled.

I haven't been paying attention to them.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Liang Junsheng clearly hadn't expected this answer, and he gave a wry smile.

"That's going to be interesting."

"Zhao Jianheng is a scoundrel, and many people around Changhu know that. But no one has ever done anything about him before."

"The fact that it was suddenly and swiftly taken down must mean it wasn't a typical report."

"My dad also said that the timing was too coincidental."

Chen Mo did not speak.

But he didn't really pay attention: Huadong Mining had withdrawn from the market, Cao Guosheng was investigated, and Beihe Situation had been completely taken over by Xingxin Mining.

People like Zhao Qiming are not worth wasting your energy on.

But at this very moment, Zhao Jianheng fell from grace.

Could it be related to the recent finalization of the Taichu II?

Or is it Douyin's two billion US dollar Series A funding round?

It's not impossible that someone is using the Zhao family to curry favor with him.

Liang Junsheng added, "President Chen, if Qihua Group collapses, it will create many opportunities in engineering, building materials, and mining."

"If you're interested, I can keep an eye on it for you."

"No need for now," Chen Mo said. "Let's let things play out for a while and see which force is behind it."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo stood by the window and thought for a moment.

He's becoming increasingly aware of one thing.

He was no longer just a simple businessman.

Once his businesses, capital, and network of contacts have expanded to a certain extent, many things will change because of his presence, even if he doesn't personally push them forward.

Some people are afraid of him, some want to get close to him, and some will even clear away the unsightly stones on the roadside for him.

As Chen Mo was thinking, his phone rang again.

This time, it was Lu Jingyi.

"Xiao Mo".

Lu Jingyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is it convenient for us to talk?"

"convenient."

Chen Mo snapped out of his thoughts.

"You've gone back to Hong Kong?"

It arrived last night.

Lu Jingyi said, "I'll leave the matters in the US to the team for now, and I'll come back to handle Chuangsheng and Jianing Holdings."

Chen Mo hummed in agreement.

He planted the pawn of Jianing Holdings in Hong Kong a long time ago.

Initially, Genesis Capital acquired 53.2% of the shares of Canning Holdings from the Gu family for HK$350 million, and subsequently increased the offer to 65%, officially gaining control.

At that time, Canning Holdings was a traditional trading and commercial property leasing company with a market value of just over HK$300 million.

With a clean shell and clear shareholding structure, Gu Changning's advanced age and his children's unwillingness to take over gave Chuangsheng the opportunity to enter the market.

After the change of control was disclosed, the share price of Jianing Holdings rose significantly.

Some in the market speculate that it will undergo restructuring, while others speculate that it will use a shell company to inject assets.

But Lu Jingyi kept it under wraps and didn't release any substantial information.

Therefore, the stock price was not driven too far, but stabilized at around HK$600 million from its original market value of over HK$300 million.

This company is a listing platform that Chen Mo plans to use for his semiconductor strategy.

Lu Jingyi continued, "The positions in SMIC and JCET are still being built up slowly."

"The original plan was $300 million, but we have completed more than $100 million so far. SMIC has high liquidity and is highly sensitive, so we can't rush to buy it."

"Changdian is relatively smoother."

Chen Mo said, "Continue with the original plan, there's no need to rush."

"I know."

Lu Jingyi paused for a moment.

"However, there's something I'm not sure about today."

Chen Mo noticed the difference in her tone.

"What's wrong?"

"Chuang Sheng has been quite active in Hong Kong recently, especially in acquiring SMIC and JCET, which has attracted the attention of some people."

"This morning, someone contacted our company on their own initiative."

"Who?"

"Wu Huaqiang".

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

He certainly knew the name; Wu Huaqiang had just returned to Tsinghua University from France last year and had been in charge of semiconductor design ever since.

Lu Jingyi continued, "He, along with Tsinghua University President Qiu Yong, Academician, and Wei Jun, Director of the Institute of Microelectronics at Tsinghua University, recently gave lectures at the University of Hong Kong."

"I heard the name of Genesis Capital at the seminar and learned that Genesis was focusing on semiconductors. After the meeting, Professor Wu took the initiative to reach out to someone and expressed his desire to visit Genesis Hong Kong."

Chen Mo did not interrupt.

Lu Jingyi continued, "Their meaning was very direct."

"In the field of domestic semiconductor memory, there is still a lack of funding, equipment, and long-term support for basic research."

"He hopes that Genesis Capital can fund their lab. The focus is on resistive random access memory, a new type of memory technology."

"I've looked at the data; it's very cutting-edge and very expensive, and we may not see commercial returns in the short term."

At this point, Lu Jingyi's voice softened.

"That's why I didn't agree right away."

However, a soft laugh suddenly came from the receiver.

Lu Jingyi was slightly taken aback and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Mo? What are you laughing at?"

"I laughed at how perfectly timed this was; it's like a pillow made just for me."

Chen Mo walked back to his desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

His initial decision to go to Tsinghua University wasn't solely for academic purposes.

What's truly important is using this identity to gain access to the country's top-tier scientific research system.

Especially in semiconductors, this line of work is money-intensive, lengthy, and difficult.

But it is also a crucial national-level track that cannot be bypassed in the next twenty years.

Chen Mo had originally planned to wait until after the college entrance examination to slowly find opportunities to get in touch with Tsinghua's microelectronics system.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came knocking on our door.

Lu Jingyi astutely understood Chen Mo's meaning: "You're planning to meet them in person?"

"Of course I'll see him," Chen Mo said. "And I'll go right now."

Lu Jingyi was somewhat surprised, but also pleasantly surprised.

"You're coming to Hong Kong now? There aren't many days left until the college entrance exams!"

"Well, I was planning to apply to Tsinghua University anyway, so I'll get to meet the president sooner."

Chen Mo glanced at the college entrance examination materials on the table.

"Book me the next available flight now."

Two seconds later, Lu Jingyi replied, "Understood, I'll order right away."

Chen Mo continued, "Tell Professor Wu and the others that Creation is willing to listen carefully to their proposal. We'll schedule a time to discuss it again after I arrive in Hong Kong."

Lu Jingyi said, "I'll make the arrangements now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo sat quietly at his desk for a few seconds.

He left a message for his parents and then sent a message to Zhou Zheng.

"Get the car ready, let's go to the airport."
