[Does anyone still dare to buy Daheng? Seven years ago, a short-selling institution in the Pretty Country pointed directly at Daheng for secretly shorting internal stocks, decrypting Daheng's five major sins.]
The first item in the news was an accusation that Daheng Group's financial reports had long contained false information, with on-paper assets consistently exceeding liabilities.
The funds listed in the annual fiscal revenue were all inflated in the reports.
This news piece was dug up again, immediately causing a massive uproar.
This news caused people to have serious doubts about Daheng's financial situation.
[Last year, the world's third-largest rating agency directly downgraded Daheng's credit rating to negative, with a rating of B2.]
[Biyuan's contract sales in the last two years have directly surpassed Daheng's, so why did Daheng's fiscal revenue end up exceeding Biyuan's?? The comparison is bizarre; please see the receipts...]
The massive traffic caused many news bloggers to jump on the bandwagon, and even detailed short video analyses began to appear.
Netizens also expressed their opinions: "Daheng is finished this time, right?"
"I used to think Daheng was pretty good."
"How could Daheng do this?"... For a moment, Daheng was plunged into a whirlpool of public opinion.
Xu Jiayin's face was as gloomy as storm clouds before a tempest. He frowned deeply, his eyes filled with fury as he stared at the computer screen in front of him.
After reading, he gritted his teeth and roared at the beautiful Female secretary sitting nearby, "Is the Company's operations department eating shit?? They can't even handle a simple internet cleanup! Why are these news stories still hanging on the hot search??"
Normally, this Female secretary wasn't afraid of her boss at all.
Whenever he was angry, she would even take the initiative to sit on his lap, using her soft voice and seductive movements to soothe his emotions.
However, at this moment, facing Xu Jiayin's intense rage, she didn't dare make the slightest move.
She knew that no matter how intimate they were normally, when it came to moments concerning the Company's interests, he would definitely turn hostile in an instant.
The Female secretary stood there nervously, her hands trembling slightly.
She quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Xu Jiayin's gaze.
Trembling with fear, she adjusted her glasses.
She put on a frightened appearance.
She answered cautiously, "President Xu, we started handling this early this morning, but for some reason, every time we suppress the heat, it pops back up again. We've already arranged for a large number of marketing accounts to whitewash the situation, but the effect doesn't seem very obvious."
This answer clearly dissatisfied Xu Jiayin. He glared at her fiercely, the anger in his eyes intensifying. "Get out, tell them to handle it for me. If they can't handle it, they can get lost."
After speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling for her to leave the office immediately.
Although the secretary felt wronged, she immediately turned and left.
She was afraid of provoking Xu Jiayin again.
After the Female secretary left, Xu Jiayin immediately took out his phone and dialed Xu Zhi's number.
After a dozen seconds, Xu Zhi's phone was finally picked up.
Seeing that Xu Zhi looked like he had just woken up, Xu Jiayin's anger flared up instantly.
He roared into the phone, "What time do you think it is, and you're still sleeping?? Get back here immediately!"
Being lectured like this by Xu Jiayin, Xu Zhi replied somewhat confusedly, "Dad, what's wrong?? Why is your temper so bad so early in the morning??"
Xu Jiayin said angrily, "Haven't you seen the information online?? Fly back from Kyoto immediately to handle this."
Realizing it was about this, Xu Zhi said rather dismissively, "I saw a bit last night and then went to sleep. Didn't we spend money to crush that short-selling institution a few years ago?? This news won't cause much of a stir."
"Do you have any idea how serious this situation is? If we can't resolve it as soon as possible, how much will our family be affected? Last night was just the beginning. As of now, many people have been leaking information online."
Xu Jiayin's reaction was beyond Xu Zhi's expectations.
"What, is it really that serious?"
Xu Jiayin continued, "Those netizens are even leaving messages on the CSRC's official account, demanding an investigation into Daheng. I feel like this time is different from before. Someone must be pushing this behind the scenes, trying to blow things out of proportion."
Hearing this, Xu Zhi finally sat up in bed. His eyes widened, revealing a look of shock.
He finally realized the problem might be more serious than he had imagined.
There had always been various rumors about Daheng online.
Even if the information from these institutions or the leaks were true,
under their back-room operations over the past two years, Daheng had remained the number one real estate enterprise in terms of sales.
Therefore, when consumers saw this news, they would often think it was groundless rumors.
As a result, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the Company.
Speaking of the CSRC, a sense of unease welled up in Xu Zhi's heart. He knew this crisis could deal a massive blow to the Company.
If they couldn't respond in time, Daheng might face an unprecedented predicament.
"We can't let the CSRC intervene. We must immediately formulate a response strategy and not let things continue to deteriorate!" Xu Zhi replied.
Starting from last year, the gap between Daheng's revenue and debt had begun to widen further and further.
If it were truly investigated, it would be no small matter.
For some reason, when he heard Xu Jiayin suspecting someone was pushing behind the scenes, the first person Xu Zhi thought of wasn't other real estate competitors, but Jiang Cheng.
"Hurry back so we can discuss this. You know I don't trust anyone else," Xu Jiayin said anxiously.
"Dad, I always feel this isn't that simple. Do you think it could be Jiang Cheng's doing? After all, he said those things at the cocktail party that day."
Hearing this, Xu Jiayin's brow couldn't help but furrow. "I don't know. There were so many people present that day. The speaker may be unintentional, but the listener is attentive. Everyone is a suspect."
Xu Zhi's tone became serious. "But other companies are also secretly doing what we're doing. If they want to mess with us, they have to be prepared to face our counterattack once they're discovered. In my opinion, the possibility of it being our peers isn't high."
Xu Jiayin placed great importance on Xu Zhi's words.
After all, his son was quite young and promising, and his ability to hold his current management position was recognized by everyone within the Company.
"Have you had any interactions with him these past two days?"
Thinking of the embarrassing encounter at the bar yesterday,
Xu Zhi's heart was full of grievance and resentment, but he feigned a relaxed tone. "No, I ran into him yesterday and took the initiative to leave early."
Hearing the resentment in Xu Zhi's voice, Xu Jiayin sighed helplessly.
He comforted, "Son, endure a bit longer. Once our overseas cash-out is complete, we'll plan further. Remember, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Now is not the time for impulsiveness."
These words forced Xu Zhi to shelve the series of actions he had already planned.
Although he was unwilling, he also knew his father's concerns. After calming down, he understood even more that it was not advisable to act rashly at this time.
If the entire situation was affected because of a personal grudge, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhi could only grit his teeth and temporarily set aside his hatred, waiting for the right time to make his move.
After a helpless sigh, Xu Zhi frowned and replied, "I understand, Dad. I'll take a flight back immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhi stood there with a gloomy expression.
After a moment of contemplation, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled into a cold sneer.
Then he quickly took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant.
Although the plan to deal with Jiang Cheng was temporarily shelved, he didn't intend to let it go just like that.
Since Jiang Cheng could buy hot searches against his family, he would let the other party taste the same treatment.
Originally, the video of Jiang Cheng partying at the bar last night had only attracted the attention of a small number of people.
But with Xu Zhi's pushing, the heat of the entire incident instantly soared, and the direction even shifted towards Mingsheng Group.
