The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan walked quickly into the Finance Department, and all the employees looked at them nervously. Manager Zhang came over sweating profusely, holding a stack of freshly printed reports in his hand.

"Mr. Huo, Madam," Manager Zhang's voice trembled, "We just discovered that another huge amount of funds has been transferred out, the amount is as high as 8 million yuan."

Huo Yanshen took the report and looked at it carefully: "When was the transfer time?"

“Just half an hour ago,” Manager Zhang replied, “we froze all accounts immediately after we discovered the anomaly, but the money had already been transferred away.”

Su Wanwan frowned and thought: "Such a large amount of funds cannot be operated by one person. There must be other insiders involved."

Huo Yanshen nodded in agreement: "That's right. It seems that the influence of 'Dark Phoenix' in our company is greater than we thought."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face became more serious: "It's Cheng Yuan."

Su Wanwan watched nervously as Huo Yanshen answered the phone.

"Mr. Huo, I heard that your company has encountered some troubles recently," Cheng Yuan's voice came through the phone, with a hint of imperceptible pride, "If you need help, I'm always welcome."

Huo Yanshen replied coldly: "Thank you for your concern, but it's not my fault for worrying about the Huo Group."

Cheng Yuan chuckled: "Don't say that, Mr. Huo. We are old rivals in the business world. How can I watch you get into trouble? How about this, I have a suggestion that may help you get through this difficult time."

Huo Yanshen asked cautiously: "What proposal?"

"It's very simple," Cheng Yuan said, "I can inject 20 billion yuan into the Huo Group to help you through this difficult time. In exchange, I ask for 30% of the shares and two seats on the board of directors. How about this, isn't this a fair condition?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "Mr. Cheng, I appreciate your kindness. But the Huo Group does not need help from outsiders. Goodbye."

After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone.

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen worriedly: "Cheng Yuan suddenly asked for capital injection, could it be related to the abnormal funds this time?"

Huo Yanshen nodded: "It is very likely. They may want to take advantage of this crisis and take control of the Huo Group."

At this moment, Manager Zhang suddenly exclaimed: "Boss Huo, look here!"

He pointed to a string of numbers on the computer screen and said, "This account number looks familiar to me."

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan looked closer, and suddenly, Su Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Wait, this account..."

She quickly searched on her phone and said excitedly, "I was wondering why it looked so familiar! This account is related to the new energy company we investigated before!"

Huo Yanshen's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "You mean, the 8 million yuan may have been transferred to that new energy company?"

Su Wanwan nodded: "It's very likely. But why do you want to do this?"

Huo Yan thought deeply for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "Wanwan, do you still remember the merger plan we discussed before?"

Su Wanwan suddenly realized: "You mean, they might want to..."

"That's right," Huo Yanshen took over the conversation, "They may want to use this money to raise the share price of that new energy company, thereby increasing our acquisition costs."

Manager Zhang was surprised and said, "But isn't this the same as giving money to the other party?"

Huo Yanshen shook his head: "No, this may just be part of their plan. If we are unable to complete the acquisition due to funding issues, Cheng Yuan can take the opportunity to intervene and appear as a 'savior'."

Su Wanwan added: “Once Cheng Yuan gains control of the company, they can easily transfer the money back.”

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan with admiration: "That's right. This is a carefully designed trap."

After listening to this, Manager Zhang turned pale and said, "What should we do? The company's funds are already very tight now."

Huo Yan thought deeply for a moment, then suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "Perhaps, we can give him a taste of his own medicine."

Su Wanwan looked at him curiously: "What are your plans?"

Huo Yanshen whispered his thoughts to Su Wanwan and Manager Zhang. After listening, both of them showed expressions of surprise and admiration.

“This plan is risky,” Su Wanwan said, “but if it succeeds, we can turn the situation around in one fell swoop.”

Huo Yanshen nodded: "That's right. The key now is that we need to find the 'ghost' inside the company. Only by cutting off their source of information can our plan succeed."

At this moment, Su Wanwan suddenly thought of something: "Yan Shen, I have an idea. Maybe we can use the company's internal communication system..."

In the next few days, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan worked closely together to implement their secret plan. They deliberately spread the news within the company that the Huo Group might give up the acquisition of the new energy company due to financial problems.

At the same time, they secretly contacted several trusted banks and investment institutions and secretly raised a huge amount of funds.

Finally, on the fifth day of the plan's implementation, they received the desired results.

"Mr. Huo," Manager Zhang ran into the office excitedly, "The stock price of that new energy company has started to fall!"

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"Very good," Huo Yanshen said, "Now it's time to show our trump card."

He picked up the phone and dialed the stock exchange number: "This is Huo Yanshen. Yes, I confirm that I want to carry out the acquisition plan we discussed before."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan and Manager Zhang: "The next 24 hours are crucial. We must maintain absolute confidentiality until the acquisition is completed."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone rang again. It was Cheng Yuan.

"Mr. Huo," Cheng Yuan's voice sounded a little anxious, "I heard that you are going to give up the acquisition of that new energy company?"

Huo Yanshen pretended to be helpless and said, "Yes, the company is short of funds now and is really unable to make such a large acquisition."

Cheng Yuan immediately said: "Why don't we cooperate? I can provide financial support, and we can acquire the company together."

Huo Yanshen pretended to think about it for a while, then said, "I appreciate Mr. Cheng's kindness. But this matter is of great importance, so let me think about it again."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanshen smiled confidently: "They took the bait."

In the next 24 hours, the Huo Group completed the acquisition of the new energy company at an astonishing speed. When the news was announced, the entire business community was shocked.

Cheng Yuan called angrily, but Huo Yanshen had already expected this.

"Mr. Cheng," Huo Yanshen said calmly, "Business is like a battlefield. I think you know this better than I do. You lost this time."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged Su Wanwan: "We succeeded."

Su Wanwan leaned in Huo Yanshen's arms, her heart filled with pride and joy. She knew that this victory not only thwarted the opponent's conspiracy, but also made the position of the Huo Group more stable.

However, just as they were celebrating their victory, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly received an anonymous text message:

“Great show, Mr. Huo. But don’t think it’s over. The game has just begun.”

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan looked at each other and saw vigilance and determination in each other's eyes.
