Chapter 796: A Three-Power Standoff, Winds Stir and Clouds Move!
Imperial Capital, Wolong Garden.
After receiving the latest news from Tianyun, the old master, despite his years of Qi Cultivation Skill, was shocked into losing his composure.
"Hiss~"
"This lad, he's damn well-fed, seems he hasn't been scrimping in making money these past years!" The old master's face twitched uncontrollably.
At that moment, he remembered Ling Fan's instructions before he left, to take good care of Tian Yun; back then, he had even said that if the kid were to fall in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, he would wash his hands of him!
Given the current situation, even if he truly fell in there, the old master would have no choice but to be involved, and even if he chose not to, the higher-ups in Huaxia would not just sit idly by.
If Tianyun were to truly develop into a force capable of contending with the other two major financial groups in the world, it would have profound significance for Huaxia!
With this thought, the old master sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.
"This damn kid, I really underestimated him; he's played such a huge game, even including me, an old man, in his calculations!"
"With Tianyun's momentum built, even if he does encounter an accident in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the friends and family he has left outside will have protection, untouchable by anyone!" the old master muttered to himself.
Secretary Song, hearing this, pondered deeply and felt a sudden shock, astonished beyond belief.
"Chief, this kid has completely exceeded our expectations; he's incredible!" Secretary Song said with a grave expression.
The old master's lips twitched, and he sighed, "Not just incredible, he's rather terrifying; how old is he? What will he become after a few more years of experience? As the saying goes, 'It is not the age that brings wisdom, nor is there a plan in longevity.' The ancients truly did not deceive me!"
The old master, having spent his life in the military, had rarely truly admired anyone, but this time, he was a bit impressed with Ling Fan.
"Does the top brass have any thoughts?" the old master calmed his emotions and spoke in an even tone.
"Chief, the top brass is already closely monitoring Tianyun's situation, planning to make direct contact with Tianyun at any time. However, they want to hear your opinion first!
After all, Tianyun's actual person in power is that kid Ling Fan, and you've always been in charge of his affairs!" Secretary Song spoke up.
Hearing this, the old master nodded, "Um, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If this succeeds, the lad will have given a great gift to Huaxia!"
Just then, Secretary Song's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Secretary Song looked at the caller ID and quickly answered. After listening to what was said on the other end, he was flabbergasted!
Putting down the phone, Secretary Song swallowed hard, nervously saying, "Chief, Tianyun's actions are not showing any signs of slowing down. They continue to invest capital, beginning to gradually control and integrate some international strategic resource markets!
The top brass is getting restless, wanting to hear your specific opinion!"
Upon hearing this, the old master stood up abruptly, feeling an intense chill pouring into his heart.
"This is serious, let's go, take me to the high-level meeting immediately!" the old master hurriedly said.
...
Half a day later, the higher-ups secretly sent people to communicate with Tianyun, with Secretary Song among the liaison team, mainly to understand the strategic intentions and plans of Tianyun Group in detail.
At this time, Tian Yun's reserve funds were actually beginning to run out, and though Aoma had accumulated covertly over the years, it amounted to only about two hundred billion US Dollars.
For this planned action, they had taken out their entire family savings, and the several tens of billions of Huaxia Currency in Tian Yun's hands were almost negligible.
Two hundred billion US Dollars, when converted, were over a trillion Huaxia Currency, which seems frightening, but in front of the huge forces of the two major super consortia, each wielding tens of trillions of US Dollars, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
However, this was the lever for prying, after understanding Tian Yun's international strategic intentions, and following a brief internal discussion, the upper echelons decisively supported Tian Yun by investing fifty billion US Dollars in shares.
With the inflow of funds, Tian Yun faced the issue of stock dilution.
But this did not stump the five top economists brought by Aoma, who, after evaluating the intangible assets tangibly, determined that the newly injected fifty billion US Dollars only amounted to five percent of Tian Yun's entire stock.
After successfully valuing the intangible assets tangibly, the subsequent operations became simple, it could be called "a snake swallowing an elephant," or rolling a snowball; in short, the momentum was established.
Following that, well-informed capital magnates saw this great opportunity and proactively approached Tian Yun, hoping to join the game.
Tian Yun, lacking funds, naturally did not turn anyone away, but the absorption of these dispersed funds was not done all at once, under the operation of Aoma and others.
Because if that were the case, the one holding the absolute say would naturally not be Tian Yun Group.
Therefore, Bewis and the others opted to absorb them one by one, rolling a snowball.
The assets they purchased were continuously evaluated at double their value, increasing Tian Yun's size, and the funds that joined the game later would be endlessly diluted.
According to the calculations of Bewis and others, in the end, Tian Yun needed to relinquish only about thirty percent of their shares to easily absorb a trillion US Dollars of capital.
This series of operations deeply shocked Xia Ying, and in this contest and game of the world order, she also felt her rapid growth.
"Everyone, I have a doubt, as we keep diluting like this, we're also diluting the shares of the investors who came in earlier, I'm afraid they might have objections in the end!" Xia Ying hesitated and said to the others.
"Heh, the larger the capital, the larger the market share it occupies, and the profits after the investment will be more astounding, even increasing by geometric multiples!
Paying a hundred billion today might yield a return of five hundred billion next year, which is impossible in normal market competition.
Such miracles can only be created under the tumult of global capital markets, often reaching hundreds of trillions of dollars, so in the face of this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, no one will be unwilling!
If there is someone, they can choose to withdraw; there are plenty of shrewd people willing to join, and coming up, we won't be short of capital!"
When necessary, we will also need to select high-quality capital; this game isn't one just anyone can join!" Bewis explained with a smile.
On hearing this, Xia Ying took a deep breath and nodded her head, "I understand, you guys actually used a lever to pry the whole Earth!"
Upon hearing this, Aoma and others exchanged smiles; this plan also required many objective factors to converge, indispensable to one another!
At this moment, Freedom Island and Moses Manor were dumbfounded, this wasn't going according to script!
As both families came to their senses, they suddenly realized that the once insignificant Tian Yun Group, had in the blink of an eye become a small behemoth under their very noses!
Even the other powers idly watching were stunned; they had witnessed, at a visible speed, a small sapling grow into a towering tree in an instant.
Given Tian Yun's development momentum, the entire international landscape seemed poised for a major upheaval with the emergence of a new tripartite balance of power!
