She looked at Wang Bin, her eyes as sharp as knives:
"First of all, you investigate for me, use all available connections, and find out for me the source of Zhao Chen's funds at any cost!
His share of Subscription Plan, he and Su Wantang combined will cost nearly 300 million!
His shares had been pledged once before to pay for the 50 million share transfer fee. Where did he get the money now?
I won't let him touch a cent of the money in Hang Lung's account!
Keep an eye on all Fund Flow, especially the payments and authorizations related to Zhao Chen, Su Wantang, Chen Xi, Zhang Qingxue. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately!"
Wang Bin nodded immediately. "Understood! The 15% equity he later obtained should not have been pledged. I will find a way to inquire through brokers and banks."
"It doesn't matter, we have backup plans."
Lin Wanqing paused, a trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes,
"Then, you go to the media and get me out of his dirty laundry! The bigger the deal, the better!
I want the whole city and the whole country to know what kind of beast the former Chairman of Henglong is!
I want Zhao Chen to have a taste of what it feels like to be criticized by thousands of people and roasted on the fire by public opinion!"
Wang Bin heard this, his face changed slightly. "Mr. Lin, this... Old Chairman over there..."
"I don't care about that anymore!"
Lin Wanqing said sharply, there was no protection for Zhao Jianguo on his face, only cold calculation,
"His face will be disgraced sooner or later! If he has the nerve to do something worse than a pig or a dog, don't be afraid of being poked in the back!
Now, this is our most powerful weapon! The scandal was exposed, the stock price was under pressure, and his Zhao Chen pledge financing path was blocked.
Moreover, what will public opinion think then? So what if Board of Directors has just passed the resolution? With the overwhelming public opinion, I wonder if he still has the face and courage to continue to push forward this Rights Issue!"
Wang Bin is still a little hesitant. "However, Old Chairman may not agree to make it public so early. This may affect the trial of his case..."
"Whether he agrees or not, it doesn't matter now."
Lin Wanqing's tone was without warmth, as if he was talking to a stranger,
"What he wants to protect is his own life, what I want to protect is our lives and future chips!
If Zhao Chen is allowed to go smoothly and Rights Issue is drained of our cash, the next step is to kill us all! By then, Zhao Jianguo will not be able to protect itself, can it still control our life and death?"
She looked at Wang Bin and said word by word:
"Now, it is time for us to fight back. Zhao Chen wants to use capital rules to kill us, so we will use dirtier water to drag him into the quagmire!
Go ahead and do it, be careful and don't leave any clues. Find the media and 'sources' who are paid to do things and are not afraid of trouble."
Wang Bin looked at the unquestionable determination in Lin Wanqing's eyes and knew that she had made up her mind to burn the boat. He stopped persuading and nodded heavily:
"I understand, Mr. Lin. I will make arrangements right away. Funding sources and public opinion, both ways."
"Yeah." Lin Wanqing waved his hand and motioned for him to go out.
When the office door closed again and she was alone, she slowly leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes.
Her heart was not as decisive as she had just shown. After all, that man was the biological father of her three children.
But now, she doesn't care so much anymore.
Zhao Chen stung her with "only", and she responded with Zhao Jianguo's most unbearable scandal to their father and son!
This is no longer a business game, but a life-and-death war.
Any bottom line can be exceeded.
Friday's Internet is like a depth charge being dropped.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, Financial Media, a company famous for breaking news, took the lead in publishing a long "in-depth investigation" with a shocking title:
<Revealing the truth about the detention of former Henglong Chairman Zhao Jianguo: suspected of being involved in multiple illegal crimes>
It is no longer the vague "cooperating with the investigation" that has been stated for two months, but there are specific accusations and some shocking details (although they have not been officially confirmed).
It also lists a large number of vague but highly directional "clues":
Certain censored interviews with the "victim's" family members, descriptions of the case allegedly from "insiders", and some unscrupulous private life rumors from Zhao Jianguo's early years have been resurfaced.
The article deliberately vaguely linked personal crimes with corporate governance, and the writing was extremely provocative, instantly igniting public curiosity and anger.
Immediately afterwards, as if they had made an appointment, several more influential online media and "well-known Vs" on social media began to forward, comment, and dig deeper.
Hashtag
#Zhao Jianguo Scandal#
#Henglong Scandal#
Rushing to the top of the hot search list at an astonishing speed.
The comment section was in an uproar, with an outpouring of curses.
Next, the more influential media outlets gradually disappeared.
<Shocking! Henglong Former Chairman Zhao Jianguo is involved in a criminal scandal. The former business tycoon is actually a beast in disguise?>
<From entrepreneur to prisoner: A closer look at the corruption of power behind the Zhao Jianguo crime case>
<Henglong Zhao and his son: Morality under the capital game Black Hole?>
<The embarrassment of the "only" heir: How does Zhao Chen face such unbearable accusations from his father?>
The shocking title is paired with carefully selected photos of Zhao Jianguo's sanctimonious public appearances in the past, forming a very impactful contrast.
