The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!
Chapter 108 The Chain Reaction of a Stock Price Plunge
Zhou Bin quickly bowed and accepted, flattered, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Qin! I will definitely be there tomorrow, I promise!"
He watched Qin Zihao's retreating figure, his heart filled with emotion.
Is this the Qin family? To vent Miss Qin's anger, they casually spent 300 billion without batting an eye.
With that kind of talent, if he entered the entertainment industry, wouldn't he be able to sweep through everything?
The others gasped as they looked at the three men kneeling on the ground in such a sorry state.
Everyone knows that only a little over half an hour has passed since Qin Zihao gave the order, not even an hour.
When he said he would make the Zhao family's stock price plummet, it really did. He kept his word and didn't mince words.
The Qin family is terrifying!
The way the extras and staff looked at Qin Nian'an had undergone a complete transformation.
Previously, they looked at Qin Nian'an with doubt and disdain, but now all that remains is deep envy and jealousy.
It turns out that Qin Nian'an is actually a wealthy heiress; no wonder Director Zhou was so determined to cast her as the female lead.
Seeing Qin Zihao turn around to leave with Qin Nian'an, Zhao Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have grasped the last straw. He scrambled forward on his knees, trying to pull at Qin Zihao's trouser leg.
"Young Master Qin! Young Master Qin, please wait! I beg you to have mercy and give me another chance! I truly know I was wrong. Please spare the Zhao family, and spare me!"
But as soon as he took a step closer, he was blocked by Qin Zihao's bodyguards, with a row of people separating the two.
Qin Zihao didn't stop walking, and didn't even look back at him, as if he hadn't heard him.
Qin Nian'an glanced back at the three kneeling, wailing figures, her face expressionless and calm.
Although she felt a pang of pity, she quickly realized that if the Qin family didn't have enough power, it might have been her and Director Zhou kneeling on the ground today.
If you're used to using your power to intimidate others, then you should be prepared to be intimidated by others one day.
After Qin Zihao and Qin Nian'an led a group of bodyguards out of the film set, the previously silent set instantly erupted into a heated discussion.
"My God, just who is the Qin family? They can spend 300 billion yuan like it's nothing and bring down the Zhao family in just half an hour."
"Zhao Yu deserves it. He was too arrogant and had to offend the Qin family's daughter. Now look what's happened, his family is about to be ruined."
"And Chen Lu, she used to act all high and mighty, looking down on everyone. Now she's kneeling and begging for forgiveness, isn't she? It's so satisfying!"
"Director Zhou has actually managed to get on the good side of the Qin family; he's definitely going to rise to great heights!"
The crowd gathered together, each person speaking in turn, their voices filled with sighs and shock.
Lu Chuan and Liu Fei exchanged a glance and quickly walked over to Zhou Bin, trying to find out some information about the Qin family.
Lu Chuan spoke first: "Director Zhou, that young master Qin and Miss Nian An, how powerful is their family background?"
Liu Fei's eyes were full of curiosity and awe: "Yes, Director Zhou, the Qin family's strength is amazing. We've never heard of such a powerful Qin family in Shanghai."
Zhou Bin smiled and didn't say much, only saying calmly, "You should know about the Cloud Top Building in Jiangnan Province, right? That's the headquarters of Zhenshi Group, a subsidiary of the Qin family. Moreover, the entire Cloud Top Building has been bought out by the Qin family."
One sentence filled Lu Chuan and Liu Fei with disbelief, and they swallowed hard.
The Cloud Top Building? That's a landmark building in Jiangnan Province that's not for sale, and the Qin family actually bought it outright?
This isn't just a top-tier wealthy family; this is practically a hidden behemoth!
The two secretly rejoiced, thankful they hadn't actually brought up terminating the contract, otherwise they would never have been able to establish themselves in the industry for the rest of their lives.
On the other side, Shen Yue followed behind Qin Zihao, giving the spirited young master of the wealthy family in front of her a deep look, and her understanding of the Qin family's strength was refreshed once again.
The Zhao family, with a market value of hundreds of billions, can short sell at will and use 300 billion without hesitation. Such financial power and boldness are far beyond what ordinary wealthy families can possess.
Unfortunately, Qin Shao has four secretaries of the same rank as her. The five of them take turns working in different areas, and they have very few opportunities to stay by Qin Shao's side for long periods of time and get in touch with his private affairs.
Moreover, given the size of the Qin family, marriages are usually based on matching social status and economic background. She came from an ordinary family and did not have a strong family background to support her.
Secretaries like them, no matter how outstanding, who want to climb the ladder and truly enter Qin Shao's life, mostly do things that can't be brought into the light; it's all just a mirage.
Shen Yue silently told herself that she should just do her job well and keep to her duties. She shouldn't think too much about anything else, let alone have any fantasies.
But women, once you meet a man who is too stunning when you are young, can you live a peaceful life for the rest of your days?
Prior to this, the financial department of the Zhao family group was already in complete chaos.
No one expected that Zhao Group's stock, which had been fluctuating steadily and even reached a recent high for a moment, would lead many to believe that Zhao's stock was about to rise.
But the next second, a huge number of low-priced stocks were suddenly sold off, and the stock price plummeted instantly, hitting the daily limit down in just a few minutes.
In just a moment, the Zhao family group's market value evaporated by tens of billions, resulting in heavy losses.
The employees in the financial sector were all panicked and their faces turned pale.
"Team leader, this is terrible! Someone is maliciously shorting our company's stock!"
"That's ruthless! This method is clearly designed to drive us to our deaths!"
"Their move was too decisive, and the amount of money involved was enormous; we simply couldn't stop them!"
The head of the financial department looked grave, his hands clenched tightly. He knew very well that this was not a simple short-selling attack, but an attempt to completely destroy the Zhao family group.
He didn't dare delay and quickly picked up his phone to call Zhao Mingxuan, the chairman of the Zhao family, his voice filled with barely concealed panic.
"Chairman, something terrible has happened! The company's stock has been maliciously shorted and has already hit the daily limit down. The company's market value has instantly evaporated by tens of billions!"
Zhao Mingxuan, who was on the other end of the phone, was handling business in his office. Upon hearing this, his face turned ashen: "What did you say? It hit the daily limit down?"
"Who did this? When did our Zhao family offend anyone?"
Zhao Mingxuan was full of doubts. He thought back carefully. The Zhao family had kept a low profile all these years and had never offended any top power. How could they suddenly be maliciously shorted?
Moreover, the amount of money invested by the other party to short-sell the Zhao family's stock instantly is more than the total value of the Zhao family's stock. This amount of money is definitely not something an ordinary person can come up with.
Unless it's a life-or-death feud, who would be willing to give up such a large sum of money?
He composed himself and quickly asked, "Are there any other companies whose stocks hit their daily limit down today?"
The head of the finance department quickly shook his head, his tone urgent: "Chairman, no! So far, only our Zhao Group's stock has hit the daily limit down; all other companies are operating normally!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingxuan's heart sank completely.
If we rule out the possibility of a lose-lose situation, then there's only one possibility.
The Zhao family had indeed offended someone they shouldn't have, and the other party's strength far exceeded his expectations.
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mingxuan dialed the numbers of his three sons and asked them questions one by one.
The first two sons said they hadn't offended anyone recently, but when the third son, Zhao Yu, was called, all that could be heard was his trembling, sobbing voice.
"Dad...Dad, I was wrong...I offended someone..."
While crying, Zhao Yu recounted the events that had occurred on set in fits and starts, his voice filled with fear and regret.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingxuan trembled with rage, his face turning as black as ink. He roared into the phone, "You idiot! You're good for nothing but causing trouble! Who told you to stick your neck out?"
He never imagined that the son he had carefully raised would be so foolish.
This kind of thing can be left to Shengshi Media. If something goes wrong, they'll just lose a dispensable company; it won't seriously damage the Zhao family.
Just then, the office doors were pushed open one after another, and the heads of various departments rushed in, looking flustered.
"Chairman, something terrible has happened! All our partners and investors are calling to demand that they withdraw their investment and terminate their contracts!"
"Chairman, we've also received word from the bank that they're demanding we repay all loans as soon as possible, or they'll sue us!"
"Chairman, the company's cash flow has dried up, and many projects are no longer operating normally!"
One piece of bad news after another came, like bolts from the blue, striking Zhao Mingxuan's head.
The chain reaction intensified, and the Zhao family group officially entered the countdown to bankruptcy.
Zhao Mingxuan's legs went weak, and he slumped into the chair, his face ashen and his eyes filled with despair.
He knew that the Zhao family was finished.
I recall news reports from a few years ago about Qifeng Group, a once-prosperous company in Shanghai, which apparently offended someone and went bankrupt overnight, with its CEO jumping off a building.
A cold sweat broke out on Zhao Mingxuan's back, and he gripped the armrests tightly with both hands.
"Book me the fastest flight to Beijing right now."
His aunt was a distant cousin of Old Madam Ding. Although they were not related by blood, the Zhao family would send gifts in the name of his aunt to maintain their fragile relationship, even though they could not attend Old Madam Ding's birthday celebrations.
Strictly speaking, the Zhao family can be considered distant cousins of the Ding family in the capital.
It's just that few people know this; this is the last bit of connections the Zhao family has, and once they're used up, they're gone.
The Ding family group has a market value six or seven times that of the Zhao family, reaching a total of 800 billion. Among the wealthy families in Beijing, they can be considered to be among the top. If they are willing to lend a helping hand, the Qin family will probably give the Zhao family a break out of consideration for them.
This was the only lifeline Zhao Mingxuan could grasp.
