Chapter 322: Merger of Companies
The sudden withdrawal of such a significant amount of capital instantly caused fluctuations in the prices of concept stocks.
Jin Lingsu clutched her heart and grabbed Chen Yu's wrist.
"We've made money twice already, that should be enough, right? Should we withdraw all the money?"
Chen Yu didn't answer; he just glanced at Jin Lingsu and continued typing on the keyboard.
Han Xiaohui, who was next to him, had already grasped Chen Yu's intent and, without waiting for him to speak, followed his lead in making her moves.
The money that had just been pulled out was all reinvested into the stocks that had just bottomed out.
This series of coherent operations depressed Jin Lingsu, who normally walked with an air of dominance; now, she almost felt like crying without tears.
"Sister Su, Brother Yu is currently using the suddenness of a large amount of capital to disrupt the stock market, thereby achieving his goal!"
"If we miss this window, we'll lose our advantage and won't achieve as good a result. Just sit tight, and as long as we complete all operations within this period of suddenness, not only will our capital increase manifold, but we'll also strike at the Edward Family."
Han Xiaohui did see things clearly, and her explanation slowly eased the panic on Jin Lingsu's face.
"I'm a simple person and really don't understand your operations. Forget it, I won't bother anymore. After all, I'm relying on you for the rest of my life!"
Chen Yu remained silent, his fingers flying over the keyboard, transferring funds back and forth.
After four hours, the funds indeed increased by a whole eightfold.
The initial investment of eighty billion had turned into six hundred forty billion.
Before coming here, Tong Ming and Chu Jianghe had given over three hundred billion; the rest was put together by Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu.
Among them, Chen Yu invested the least, but even so, his money also multiplied by eightfold.
Even though it wasn't much compared to the other super-rich, he now qualified for the wealthy rankings.
"Keep going, why have you stopped?"
Jin Lingsu had already jumped up from the sofa by now; her investment of over fifty billion had turned into over four hundred billion, and the despondency on her face was replaced by excitement.
"The capital market here has already set its sights on us. If we continue, all our money will be swallowed up!"
"What we need to do now is targeted strikes, using the stock market to take down Edward's smaller companies one by one, and then inject the money into tangible assets to wage a full-scale war against them."
Jin Lingsu was confused by what she heard, but seeing the return on her money, she chose not to ask anything more.
For the next half a month, Chen Yu hardly slept, keeping his eyes glued to the stock boards.
From initially two computers, it turned into a central control with dozens of screens at the end.
During this time, eighty-seven small and medium-sized enterprises were plundered bare, then through capital operations, these industries were all merged into William's family empire.
The previously swift development momentum of the Edward Family was abruptly contained, and most of the territory they had established in Frankfurt was taken over.
"Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?"
Brown Edward slammed his hand hard on the table, his expression turning fierce.
The people below didn't even dare to breathe heavily, each looking like a corpse.
Carter Edward leaned back in his chair, his face clouded with gloom.
During this period, he and his think tank had sat down and perfected their layout, but unexpectedly, one by one, his industries were still being swallowed up.
To this day, he had no idea who was behind the sabotage.
The previously investigated Yuya Limited, which could potentially threaten the Edward Family, had been inactive for half a month, with not even a hint of their company's financial transactions detectable.
What they didn't know was that this limited company operated entirely outside of the major systems; even if it did operate, it was done in the shadows, and outsiders couldn't possibly detect any clues.
Moreover, the accounts Chen Yu used to trade stocks were registered privately.
"The enemy is in the dark, and we are exposed. Moreover, they are planning specifically against us, so they will always be one step ahead. No matter how we adjust our strategies, we will not be their match. We have to find the person behind this!"
Carter's eyes flickered with viciousness, and the joints of his fingers cracked as he clenched them tightly.
Brown immediately stepped forward, "You mean to say, Uncle, that we should find a way to kill them?"
Carter nodded, "Start by screening everyone who has entered Europe in the past half a month. As soon as you find anyone closely associated with William's family, take them down immediately! Also, eliminate those two in charge at Yuya Limited."
Without hesitation, Brown gave orders to the person beside him.
Fang Yuan's breathing became inexplicably rapid; he naturally knew that the person in charge of Yuya Company was Chen Yu.
She wasn't so much worried about Chen Yu as she was scared that if anything happened to Chen Yu, Tuan Tuan would have no one to take care of him.
But at present, her public identity was that of the Edward Family's first lady. If she tried to intervene at this time, it would likely arouse suspicion from others.
Just as she was caught in a dilemma, Brown suddenly approached her.
"You previously said the plan against the Charlie family was very good. We'll implement it tonight. I refuse to believe that a little girl who's not yet fully grown can stand up against me."
Fang Yuan couldn't say much more; she nodded, then quickly left with several assistants in tow.
The Charlie family's stronghold was initially in Edinburgh but, under the relentless pressure of the Edward Family, they sought refuge in Frankfurt under the protection of William's family.
Now, the remaining members of the Charlie family were all staying within a vineyard owned by William's family.
After stabilizing the stock market, Chen Yu went directly there to meet with the Charlie family.
Initially, the Charlie family was somewhat hostile toward Chen Yu, as any well-established family would be, having fallen to such a state for no apparent reason, likely feeling a bit paranoid of persecution.
Fortunately, Chen Yu's culinary skills were top-notch, and under Victor's mediation, he prepared several dishes for the new head of the Charlie family.
The young girl's taste buds were conquered, and she hurriedly arranged a meeting with Chen Yu.
In the dimness of the underground bunker, a pretty young girl sat across from Chen Yu, her sapphire-blue eyes blinking constantly, seemingly very interested in him.
"Mr. Chen, how do you make your meals? My cooking skills aren't even one-tenth as good as yours."
Chen Yu had a full head of black lines, realizing she was just a young girl after all. Her family had fallen to such a state, yet she was still thinking about food.
"If you like it, I can make some more for you next time! However, what's most important right now is the issue of ownership of several companies that belonged to the Charlie family."
Chen Yu laid a pile of documents on the table.
Just as he was about to discuss the details, a middle-aged man suddenly grabbed his arm.
