Chapter 100 Shen Wancheng's First Step in the Scheme is Achieved
After Shen Wancheng shared her thoughts with Gu Jinxing,
Gu Jinxing immediately said that he would have all the furniture and decorations in the villa removed the next day.
Then, Shen Wancheng was asked to choose a time for them to go look at furniture together.
Since everything has to be replaced, Shen Wancheng can only choose what she likes best.
Shen Wancheng suddenly felt that she didn't have enough time, as if there were new things to do every day.
But in order to live comfortably in the future, I have to choose it myself; I can't let someone else do it for me.
Since this villa is right next to the He Mansion, and Shen Wancheng has already come all this way, it's impossible for her to just leave.
After Shen Wancheng finished looking at the house, she went to the He Mansion with Gu Jinxing.
They had dinner with Xu Pingtao and He Lin at He's residence.
Gu Jinxing then escorted Shen Wancheng back to her residence in Central.

In the following days, Shen Wancheng finally had two or three days of peace and quiet.
During this time, Shen Wancheng went to the Lan family again and told Lan Qin about her design ideas for the competition costume.
Lan Qin said that Shen Wancheng's idea greatly inspired her, and she was able to finalize the style and pattern of the competition outfit in just one day.
Three days later, in the afternoon, Li Su approached Shen Wancheng again.
When Li Su saw Shen Wancheng, she looked radiant and her eyes sparkled.
Shen Wancheng asked him with a smile.
"What good news has happened?"
"Ms. Shen, the stock price of the Xu Group has really plummeted! The entire stock exchange is packed with people and in complete chaos."
So that's what it was about.
This whole thing was planned by Shen Wancheng, so she wasn't surprised.
Previously, Shen Wancheng hired Li Su not only to have him build a team and register a company, but also to have him find someone skilled at networking at the securities exchange center to spread a message.
The cooperation between the Gu and Xu families has ended, leaving the Xu Group with billions of dollars worth of goods stuck in Hong Kong.
The cooperation between the Gu and Xu families is a win-win situation. Terminating the cooperation would not only cause heavy losses for the Xu family, but would also affect the Gu family.
So logically no one would easily believe this, but the problem is that the Xu family really does have a large amount of goods piled up at the port.
The media and shareholders who were eager for confirmation were able to see these goods as soon as they arrived at the port, which immediately confirmed the matter.
Immediately, all sorts of speculations emerged.
The falling out between Gu and Xu has led to the Xu family facing bankruptcy.
[The Xu family's billions of dollars worth of goods are piling up on Hong Kong Island, the Xu Group's operations have come to a standstill, and Xu Jiajun may be forced to flee with his entire family.]
[The escape has come true! The young master and daughter of the Xu family are both out of the country!]
Today, these alarmist reports, which are obviously sensationalist, have dominated major weekly and daily newspapers.
The Xu family has become one of the top ten families in Hong Kong and is at the top of the industrial sector. Even if they terminate their cooperation with the Gu family, they will suffer heavy losses, but it is far from enough to cause them to go bankrupt.
If ending the cooperation with the Gu family leads to the bankruptcy of the Xu family, wouldn't that be equivalent to the Gu family controlling the lifeline of an equal family? Is that reasonable? And if the Gu family is really that important, wouldn't the Xu family treat the Gu family like ancestors?
But not every ordinary person can make such a rational judgment.
Moreover, the common people's gossipy and juicy mentality is that they enjoy watching the drama unfold, and some even secretly hope that the Xu family will really collapse.
Furthermore, stock trading is inherently a high-risk activity; even the slightest disturbance can cause investors to panic.
Therefore, this seemingly unbelievable news easily stirred up a storm in the stock market.
Shen Wancheng was not surprised at all.
She asked Li Su, "What's the situation with the stock market right now?"
"I just came from the securities exchange center. There are already many investors selling off Xu Group shares. The stock prices of all listed companies under Xu Group are bound to plummet."
Things are progressing as I expected, which is always a happy thing.
A smile appeared on Shen Wancheng's face.
Li Su added, "However, the Xu family will certainly not sit idly by. They will definitely publish a clarification in the newspaper overnight. I don't think the decline in the Xu family's stock price will last long."
Shen Wancheng countered, "Will a clarification necessarily make everyone believe it immediately?"
Li Su was taken aback.
That seems to make sense. Once a stock price drops drastically, it's unlikely to rise immediately again.
From a stock investor's perspective, if I sell a stock at a loss, should I buy it back? What if the price drops further?
Moreover, the news that Shen Wancheng spread was not entirely false; Gu Jinxing had indeed stopped some of his collaborations with the Xu family.
Li Su asked tentatively.
"When does Miss Shen plan to make her move? Actually, in my estimation, although this stock price drop will cause Xu's Group to suffer heavy losses, it won't be crippling or cause it to collapse."
"Since this matter won't bring down the Xu family, why should I even bother to intervene?"
Li Su, “…”
Why did you release this news and deliberately cause fluctuations in Xu's stock price?
It can't be that just because the Xu family offended you at some point, we're just trying to teach them a lesson, can we?
If it's just a lesson, then it has indeed achieved its purpose. This stock price plunge is tantamount to stabbing the entire Xu family in the back.
After all, for many people, taking their money is tantamount to killing their parents, especially for those good-for-nothings who depend on their families for survival.
Li Su thought to himself.
Shen Wancheng could tell from Li Su's expression that he was completely bewildered and had no idea what to do next.
Shen Wancheng stopped keeping him in suspense and directly analyzed the situation for Li Su.
"Leaving aside whether the Xu family will go bankrupt because of this, even if other groups take advantage of the situation and destroy the Xu family, it will not be something that can be acquired by a few hundred million or a billion dollars."
"Since I registered my own company and hired you, it means I want to start my own business. So I won't hide it from you, the only money I have at hand right now is ten million."
"From the very beginning, I never imagined that this matter could lead to the bankruptcy of the Xu family and thus the acquisition of the Xu family."
Li Su suddenly realized.
"So what do you want me to do now?"
Shen Wancheng had already thought through all sorts of plans and mentally rehearsed them. She spoke directly without much thought.
"The information I released wasn't entirely false. The Gu family did terminate some of their cooperation with the Xu family, including the watch and jewelry cooperation. The Xu family's current stockpiled goods at the port are watches."
"Therefore, the easiest and most effective way for the Xu family to overcome this crisis of falling stock prices is to sacrifice the small to save the big."
“I have already checked, and the Xu Group happens to have a newly listed watch factory, and most of these goods come from this factory.”
"The Xu family is highly likely to temporarily abandon the watch industry and directly disclose that the stockpiled goods are only watches, thus transferring the decline in the stock price of the entire Xu Group to the stock price of this one watch factory."
Li Su's eyes grew brighter as he listened. He then recalled what Shen Wancheng had said when she recruited him, clearly stating that she was aiming for the watch industry.
Li Su immediately understood.
"Your goal has never been the Xu family, but rather the lamb that the Xu family has pushed out—the watch factory."
Shen Wancheng nodded in agreement.
"We can only do as much as we are capable of; one lamb is enough for us to become fat."
