Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 293 This move is amazing!
"A few months?" Su Hanze's eyes flashed with a cold light, "He can't even last a few weeks."

Lin Keer raised her eyebrows: "Do you have a solution?"

Su Hanze smiled slightly: "Tianyu Bay's troubles have just begun. I need your cooperation to push this storm to a wider range and make all potential customers begin to doubt him. As long as the sales of his real estate continue to decline, his capital chain will completely collapse."

Ah Liu was a little scared when he heard this: "Boss, you are going too far this time."

"This chess game is not small to begin with." Su Hanze stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the high-rise buildings in the distance of Hong Kong Island. "Now, it is no longer a struggle between Yu Wendong and me, but a battle for the entire market. We can't retreat, and we can't lose."

He turned around and looked at Ah Liu and Lin Ke'er, his eyes sharp: "This time, we will not let him even have a chance to breathe."

In the autumn of Hong Kong Island, the air is filled with hot and humid sea breeze and restless atmosphere. In recent days, the entire jade and real estate circles have been as lively as a pot of boiling water, bubbling and bubbling non-stop. Su Hanze sat in the office, flipping through the report while listening to Ah Liu's latest report.

"Boss, the situation in Tianyu Bay is not optimistic right now." Ah Liu waved a stack of newspapers and data in his hand, like a soldier who had just won a battle. "More and more customers are canceling their subscriptions. The bank has reported that they are re-evaluating Yu Wendong's loan qualifications. I heard that his capital chain is about to collapse."

"Don't be too happy too soon." Su Hanze snorted coldly and threw the report on the table. "Yu Wendong has climbed up from the real estate circle to where he is today. It's impossible for him to give up so easily. He hasn't used his trump card yet. We have to be careful."

"What other tricks can he have?" Ah Liu disagreed. "He's almost out of money. If this continues, he won't even be able to pay the salaries."

"Gamblers are often the craziest in the last round." Su Hanze rubbed his temple, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. "He must be looking for the last chance to turn the tables. We can't be careless."

Lin Keer came in with a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa: "Boss, you are right. I just received news that Yu Wendong seems to have contacted several coal bosses in the mainland, trying to use jade as collateral for short-term financing."

"Emerald mortgage?" Su Hanze raised his eyebrows. "He really knows how to play. He knows that the liquidity of real estate is poor, but he uses high-risk things like jade to trade... How cruel."

"The key is that the coal bosses seem to be really interested." Lin Ke'er sighed, "They have too much money to spend, and they don't know much about jade. When they hear that they can get high-end jade at such a cheap price, of course they are tempted."

"That means our game is not big enough." Su Hanze stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the neon-lit street outside. "If he can find new funds, things will become more difficult."

Ah Liu scratched his head: "What should we do? Should we send someone to disrupt his financing?"

"No need." Su Hanze waved his hand, a sneer on his face, "Does he think it's easy to get the coal boss's money? As long as we give him a little push, this money will become his death warrant."

"Give me a push?" Lin Ke'er asked with interest, "What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple." Su Hanze turned around, his eyes sharp as a knife, "We let the coal boss know that his jadeite might be 'fake'."

"Fake goods?" Ah Liu was shocked. "Didn't he use his own goods as collateral?"

"Even if it's real, we can make people doubt its authenticity." Su Hanze said slowly, "Jade is a thing that requires a lot of knowledge. We just need to find a few 'authorities' in the industry and spread the word that Yu Wendong's goods may have problems. How dare the coal boss pay for it so easily?"

"Great!" Ah Liu's eyes lit up, "Boss, this is a very sinister move, I like it!"

Lin Keer smiled and shook her head: "However, coal bosses are all laymen, they may not be able to fully understand these 'knowledge'. Just relying on sound may not be enough."

"So we have to add some drama." Su Hanze smiled faintly, "Find a few more influential jewelers in the mainland and have them come out to 'advise' that these goods are from suspicious sources and may involve smuggling or undeclared gray transactions. As long as the coal boss feels there is a risk, the money will not be taken out."

Ah Liu was so excited that he couldn't help rubbing his hands together: "Boss, you played it really well this time! Once this trick is used, Yu Wendong will be skinned alive if he doesn't die!"

Su Hanze did not show any complacency, his eyes were still deep: "This is just the first step. When his financing is completely gone, we will hit him with another blow, leaving him no chance to even breathe."

Lin Ke'er raised her head, her eyes showing some interest: "What else do you want to do?"

"Market." Su Hanze walked back to his desk and rested his hands on it. "Let all the customers of Tianyu Bay start to doubt this project, and even the entire Yu's Real Estate project. We don't need to do much, just plant a seed in their hearts - buying his house may result in a loss of money."

"Tsk tsk, boss, you are such a ruthless person." Lin Ke'er shook her head, "But I like it."

A few days later, coal bosses in the mainland began to doubt Yu Wendong's financing.

"Boss Yu, it's not that we don't trust you, but there are too many rumors about the quality of jade in the market recently. We also have to be responsible for our own investment." A coal boss with a fat face was sitting in the teahouse. Although his tone was polite, his expression was full of vigilance.

"Rumors?" Yu Wendong gritted his teeth, the smile on his face almost gone, "Those are rumors someone deliberately spread about me! Don't worry, the jade I took out is definitely genuine, if you don't believe me you can go get it appraised!"

"That's true, but if something goes wrong with you, our money will be wasted." Another coal boss said coldly, "Boss Yu, you know that jade is inherently risky. In addition, your current real estate project has also encountered some troubles, so we are indeed a little worried."

"Turbulence?" Yu Wendong's forehead began to sweat. "That was something that our competitors did! I, Yu, always keep my promises. How could you believe those rumors?"

"Boss Yu, we don't believe in rumors, but we also have to look at the market situation." Boss Hengrou sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "How about this, you think of other ways. We will hold off on this matter for a while until you solve those problems."

"Slow down?" Yu Wendong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He knew that the money was gone.

As soon as the coal bosses left, Yu Wendong angrily punched the table, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and spilling tea all over the floor.

"Su Hanze! I must kill you!" He gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

On the other side, Su Hanze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Liu stood aside, looking very proud: "Boss, this is a great success! Once the coal bosses withdraw their capital, Yu Wendong's capital chain will be completely cut off. What else can he do now?" "Don't be too proud too soon." Su Hanze leaned back in his chair, his eyes calm, "Yu Wendong still has one more chess piece, and that is the government. His 'Tianyu Bay' project has a lot of interests involved with several senior executives. If he really goes all out and plays this card, our situation will become even more difficult."

"What should we do?" Ah Liu was a little panicked. "If he relies on the government, can we still suppress him?"

"We can't let him get close to them." Su Hanze's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Find a few trustworthy people to tell the government that the incident at Tianyu Bay has caused the public to question the distribution of benefits among the top leaders. If this gets out of hand, not only Yu Wendong, but they will also be implicated."

"Are you asking the government to give up on him?" Lin Ke'er raised her eyebrows. "That's a pretty cool move."

"This is the only way." Su Hanze stood up. "Yu Wendong has already reached the end of this game. If he makes another move, we must defeat him completely."

Lin Keer nodded: "Okay, then let's see who can hold on in the end."

Neon lights flickered, and street vendors shouted one after another. But behind those high-rise buildings and luxury cars and yachts, on the real battlefield, the air was filled with gunpowder.

Su Hanze's "last blow" strategy did not work immediately. Yu Wendong was not crushed as expected, but began to fight back. A few days later, Lin Keer held a newspaper and said coldly: "Boss Su, it's interesting. This time we have hit a wall."

Su Hanze took the newspaper and frowned. The headline on the front page read: "Hong Kong Island Jade Circle Boss Suspected of Insider Trading, Judicial Department May Involve in Investigation!" The article listed several "well-known brands" in great detail, and of course, one of them was him.

"This Yu guy really dares to bite back." Su Hanze stared at the newspaper, a sneer on his face, "He's planning to fight to the death with me."

"Boss, we are now on the key investigation list. Customers and suppliers in the market are waiting and watching." Lin Ke'er crossed her arms, "If this continues, even if Yu Wendong doesn't fall, we won't be able to handle it."

"Can't handle it? Impossible." Su Hanze's eyes flashed coldly. "Who in this circle has clean hands? If he wants to drag me down, he won't have an easy time either. As long as we can hold him back for a while, the situation is still ours."

"Delaying time?" Ah Liu sat down on the sofa, his face full of anxiety. "But boss, our capital chain is already strained. The money from the last auction hasn't arrived yet, and now suppliers are asking for payment, and customers are slow to place orders. We are really in a difficult situation now!"

"So we have to take the initiative to find a way." Su Hanze sat back in his chair, his tone calm but ruthless, "If customers don't dare to place an order, then we have to make them feel that if they don't place an order now, they will lose money."

"Are you trying to stir up public opinion again?" Lin Ke'er raised her eyebrows. "This trick has already been used. People in the market are now very wary of any rumors."

"We won't be engaging in public opinion this time." Su Hanze shook his head. "We'll be engaging in scarcity."

"Scarcity?" Liu scratched his head. "What does that mean?"

"It's very simple." Su Hanze smiled slightly, "Tell all customers that our stock is running low and prices will rise across the board. As long as they believe that they can still get a bargain if they place an order now, they will rush to pay."

"But boss, we really don't have enough inventory!" Ah Liu looked at him with a helpless look on his face. "The supplier is holding back on shipping the goods, and even the samples in the warehouse are almost gone."

"The more real it is," Su Hanze said calmly. "The tighter the inventory, the more it can arouse customers' panic. As long as they think they will lose money if they don't buy, who cares how many pieces of material you have in your warehouse?"

"That's great, Boss." Lin Ke'er nodded. "However, this kind of 'scarcity' can only attract a certain number of customers. As for those big customers, they only believe in solid things, so this trick may not work."

"So we have to do it two ways at once." Su Hanze took out a cigar from the drawer, lit it and said slowly, "On the one hand, we create a sense of scarcity to attract small and medium-sized customers, and on the other hand, we use our connections to directly provide special discounts to several large customers, or even credit. Let them place an order first, and the goods can be delivered slowly, but the money must be returned first."

"On credit?" Ah Liu smacked his lips. "Boss, we are already short of funds. If we sell on credit again, what will we do if the customer refuses to pay?"

"They dare to default on their debt?" Su Hanze sneered, "No one dares to default on my name, Su Hanze."

Meanwhile, Yu Wendong was also busy. His "Tianyu Bay" project was still caught in a public opinion crisis, with more and more customers canceling their orders and banks delaying the approval of loans. Seeing that the project was about to collapse, he became calmer.

"Brother Dong, are we really going to do this?" one of his men asked cautiously, "I heard there's already some news from the government, what if they really target us..."

"So what if they're targeting you?" Yu Wendong waved his hand with a look of disdain. "The Hong Kong government has always turned a blind eye. As long as the money is in place, who cares what problems you have behind you?"

"But..." The subordinate hesitated, "Su Hanze is also making small moves now. If we deal with the government and his offensive at the same time, the pressure will be great."

"So we have to strike first." Yu Wendong's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, "Doesn't Su Hanze want to kill me with public opinion? Then I will make all his clients run away."

"Why did the customer run away?" the subordinate was puzzled.

"It's very simple." Yu Wendong sneered, "Spread the news that his goods have been targeted by the Financial Administration and may be seized at any time. Once customers hear that the goods are risky, will they still dare to buy his goods?"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Great, Brother Dong! This move is really amazing!"

"There's more to come." Yu Wendong picked up the phone on the table and said, "I'm going to contact a few mainland merchants and sell my goods to them at a low price. As long as the funds can be recovered, Tianyu Bay's capital chain can be sustained. Nothing else matters."

"But, if we sell the goods at a low price..." The subordinate hesitated, "Will we lose too much?"

"No matter how much you lose, it's better than letting it rot in your hands." Yu Wendong said coldly, "Now it's not a question of how much money you can make, but whether you can survive."

A few days later, the market in Hong Kong Island was in turmoil again.
