Mo Ming followed Feng Tianshu out of the Phoenix Grand Hotel and got into a luxurious extended Lamborghini.
"President Feng, this car is well modified, with bulletproof glass and high-efficiency sound insulation. Given the mysterious nature of this situation, it must be something significant. Can you share it now?" Mo Ming glanced around the car and smiled lightly.
Feng Tianshu poured a glass of red wine for himself and Mo Ming, handing one to Mo Ming as he said, "Mr. Mo, this matter is indeed very serious. I prefer not to have too many people know about it. I hope that after you hear me out, you can consider it carefully."
"Sure, go ahead. I will think it over," Mo Ming replied, taking a sip of the red wine and leaning back against the soft chair.
"I've encountered quite a troublesome issue that I can't handle alone. Therefore, I would like Mr. Mo to lend me a hand. Of course, it would be beneficial for both of us," Feng Tianshu toasted to Mo Ming and took a sip of his wine.
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming understood just how tricky the situation was. If even the prominent businessman Feng Tianshu couldn't handle it alone, then it must be quite serious.
"Well, since even President Feng can't manage this issue, I'm interested to hear more about it. As for whether I can help you or not, I'll need to hear everything before I can give you an answer."
Mo Ming squinted his eyes and stared intently at Feng Tianshu, hoping to gauge the truthfulness of his words through his expressions.
One must always be cautious; business is like warfare. Mo Ming didn't care much about profit and loss but didn't want to lose the business he had worked hard to build in an instant.
Mo Ming wasn't entirely sure about Feng Tianshu's character, but from his actions in the business world, he seemed like a shrewd person who prioritized profit. If he wasn't careful, he could easily fall into a trap designed by him.
"The situation is as follows: recently several major deals of my group have been sabotaged, resulting in losses of nearly billions. While losing this amount isn't catastrophic in itself, the group's stock has plummeted significantly," Feng Tianshu said with a bitter smile.
Mo Ming immediately understood Feng Tianshu's predicament and frowned slightly. "Someone is buying up stocks in large quantities, right? Even the esteemed Feng Tianshu can't handle it; it seems the other party has substantial funds!"
"Yes, Mr. Mo. You are an expert in the stock market; you should understand how critical my situation is," Feng Tianshu nodded, his face filled with a bitter smile.
Mo Ming nodded in agreement. It was important to note that Feng Tianshu was the future heir of the Feng Family, which had a strong family background. Even though the stock was falling sharply, Feng Tianshu still had enough capital for buybacks; however, if someone was deliberately causing trouble, that would change everything.
Both parties were frantically buying shares from idle shareholders or major shareholders who were selling off their stocks. The stock prices would soar unusually high; at that point, the opposing party would stop at nothing to acquire shares while Feng Tianshu would have to weigh the pros and cons and ultimately choose to withdraw.
The final result is that the control of the Feng Tianshu Group will fall into the hands of the other party, which means that Feng Tianshu will be kicked off the group’s ship.
After all, whoever holds the control has the steering wheel of the ship. If they don’t want you on board, you cannot stay.
"I really didn't expect that there are still people in this world so ruthless, willing to drag you down like this," Mo Ming said, feeling a bit sympathetic towards Feng Tianshu's predicament, with a smirk on his face. "President Feng, how do you want me to help you?"
In fact, Mo Ming had already guessed Feng Tianshu's intentions; he was just pretending to be clueless to let Feng Tianshu bring it up himself. This was a good opportunity to ally with Feng Tianshu, and Mo Ming would not let it slip by.
"Let me ask you first, Mr. Mo, is this matter your doing?" Feng Tianshu stared at Mo Ming.
Regarding Feng Tianshu's question, Mo Ming had already understood before it was asked. There are not many people in the world with such determination and financial power; Mo Ming is one of them. It was reasonable for Feng Tianshu to have doubts.
However, judging from today’s candid conversation, it seemed that Feng Tianshu still trusted Mo Ming to some extent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t discuss cooperation with him. Mo Ming didn’t mind this at all and maintained a calm smile.
"Since President Feng chose to discuss these matters with me, I believe you trust me. I don’t think I need to explain much," Mo Ming said, looking directly at Feng Tianshu without flinching. "I will just say this: I am not responsible for this matter."
"Good!" President Feng said emphatically, raising his glass and adding, "With your response, Mr. Mo, I have no further doubts. This drink is my self-punishment for my earlier suspicions."
"Wait!" Mo Ming stopped Feng Tianshu and clinked glasses with him. Looking at the puzzled expression on Feng Tianshu's face, he smiled and said, "No need for punishment drinks; we must drink together. This toast is to wish us a pleasant cooperation!"
"What?" Feng Tianshu was a successful person who had seen much of the world and was quite composed. However, he was surprised that Mo Ming agreed so easily without asking about the details of their cooperation. This kind of nonchalance was something he himself might not be able to do.
Feng Tianshu swallowed hard and said, "You agreed without even asking about the cooperation details?"
"Heh, does President Feng doubt my words?" Mo Ming replied seriously without a hint of jest in his eyes. This time he was playing a risky game, aiming to gain Feng Tianshu's absolute trust by taking this step first, believing that sincerity would resonate.
Feng Tianshu shook his head with a bitter smile and explained, "No, I'm just too surprised. I was still thinking about how to broach the subject of cooperation when Mr. Mo just agreed outright. It really astonishes me; don’t you fear that I might deceive you?"
"With just the name Feng Tianshu, you deserve my trust. I believe that with President Feng's reputation, you wouldn't deceive me and ruin your own name, right?" Mo Ming said with a slight smile, raising his glass. "Is President Feng willing to cooperate? If so, let's drink this toast and discuss how we can work together."
"Of course I'm willing. Cheers!" Feng Tianshu replied excitedly as he clinked glasses with Mo Ming and then downed his drink.
Mo Ming finished his drink and said to Feng Tianshu: "Alright, now President Feng, you can tell me how you want me to help you."
"Well, I know that Mr. Mo has accumulated quite a bit of wealth in recent years," Feng Tianshu said with a slight smile. "I hope that Mr. Mo can invest in shares of my group. I guarantee that once the group stabilizes, I will buy back the shares at three times the price annually."
"Ha ha, three times the price is indeed a great temptation." Mo Ming fiddled with the crystal goblet, slowly turning it, a smile on his lips hiding unfathomable thoughts. Feng Tianshu waited for Mo Ming's response, undeniably feeling a bit nervous.
Three times the price was certainly enticing, but it also posed a significant risk. If this venture failed, not only would Feng Tianshu face financial ruin, but even Mo Ming, who provided him with financial support, would be affected.
After all, no one knew how vast the other party's financial resources were. They had been in contact for about half a month; not to mention the other party's background, even a single clue was elusive. Feng Tianshu thought it would be normal if Mo Ming declined.
Seeing that Mo Ming remained silent for too long, Feng Tianshu furrowed his brow slightly and probed, "Does Mr. Mo think three times isn't enough? If you truly feel it's insufficient, I can raise it to four times the price annually."
"No, President Feng, you misunderstood."
Mo Ming was not considering the price; he was playing a psychological game. He wanted to apply pressure on Feng Tianshu before offering his assistance so that he could gain more favor from him.
Now that Feng Tianshu had raised the price, the timing was right for Mo Ming. He decided to break his silence and smiled at the puzzled Feng Tianshu: "I can agree to President Feng's proposal. As for whether it's three times or four times the price, I don't care; I can help you unconditionally."
"You... unconditionally help me?" Feng Tianshu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his mind buzzed in shock. This cooperation would require an astronomical amount of capital, and if anything went wrong, everything he had worked for over the years could be destroyed.
Mo Ming's gaze was unusually calm as he spoke candidly: "Yes, unconditionally helping you. There’s no need for surprise, President Feng. My assistance is naturally aimed at gaining a favor from you. In my view, a favor from President Feng is worth quite a lot."
"My favor?" Feng Tianshu was taken aback and then forced a bitter smile. "Mr. Mo, you are truly one of a kind. Is my favor worth that much money? You should know that there are risks involved in this matter; you could potentially lose all your assets."
"It's worth it. The favor from President Feng is definitely worth this price," Mo Ming said with a light smile. "After all, I started from scratch; if I lose, I can just start over. What's the difficulty? Moreover, we won't lose this battle, so you can rest assured, President Feng."
"You... are this confident?" Feng Tianshu chuckled self-deprecatingly, the corners of his mouth twitching. Today, the calmness and determination displayed by Mo Ming made Feng Tianshu feel inferior. He believed that there should only be one genius in the business world, and that was Mo Ming!
"Of course. I never fight battles I'm not sure of. Since you entrusted me, President Feng, I will help you win beautifully. Otherwise, how would I earn your favor?" Mo Ming's smile slowly grew more arrogant—absolutely arrogant!
Feng Tianshu looked at Mo Ming's smile and did not perceive it as arrogance or foolishness; instead, he found Mo Ming even more unfathomable.
"Alright, since Mr. Mo is so confident, I won't have to worry. I will remember this favor, and if you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely not hesitate!" Feng Tianshu said without further ado, his eyes filled with gratitude.
With Feng Tianshu's assurance, the purpose of their collaboration had already been achieved. With Feng Tianshu as a partner, there would be more security in competing with the Dark Order in the business world.
"Then let's wish for a pleasant cooperation!" Mo Ming said with a slight smile. "President Feng, I still have things to do. I will have someone take care of it shortly; for now, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Mo Ming opened the car door and left.
"This Mo Ming is truly extraordinary; no wonder he has achieved so much in such a short time. It seems I've made the right choice in collaborating with him," Feng Tianshu thought as he watched Mo Ming's graceful departure and instructed the driver to leave.
