Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: 302. Shocking News! Kill the Chen Family!

"Brother Luo Feng, let’s discuss the Rich Source Gold Group first before we decide whether to take action," Li Bo Kai said, quickly moving on to the day’s topic.

"No problem, go ahead," Luofeng nodded.

Chen Dali spoke first. "This group is an unlisted private company with an estimated value of about 22 billion. It’s currently performing very well in the market, positioned in the mid-to-low end segment where it holds a high market share. According to data from third-party statistical organizations, last year, the group’s total sales were about 16.5 billion, with net profits exceeding 1 billion."

There was no question about the profits. The mid-to-low end segment of the gold market doesn’t yield profits as high as high-end gold jewelry.

"Since the group isn’t listed and the gold market is very stable, with hundreds of physical stores and the group’s substantial size, we can’t use the stock market against them, nor can we win through offline competition," Chen Dali continued.

The implications were clear: being unlisted, the stock market was not an option. Gold prices? How could they be manipulated? With numerous stores, offline competition was futile. So, what then? The group seemed impregnable.

Li Bo Kai added, "I mentioned in the group chat before that this company has a powerful ally. It wasn’t appropriate to say it directly in the chat, given internet filtering. What I mean is, if anything happens to this group, the Capital City Commercial Bank will do everything in its power to help them."

Lin Xiaoyun nodded. "The Chen Family has a notorious reputation in Capital City circles. However, with the backing of the Golden Group and the bank, they’ve managed to not only survive but thrive. I heard that this year, the Golden Group plans to expand to 500 stores!"

So, having a bank as their backer was truly awesome.

You could say that in this poker game, the Chen Family started with a pair of jokers, four 2s, four Aces, and a sequence from 3 to K. And they were the ’landlord.’ With such a hand, how could they possibly lose? And when Luofeng faced such a hand, how could he win? The answer was simple: he had to step outside their established circle.

This group, within its own field, was as solid as a fortress, having sealed off all its weaknesses. Even if the rules of the game were broken, the Chen Family could immediately provide protection. Meaning, if a corner of their fortress wall crumbled, they would just patch it up. Moreover, the Chen Family would also break the rules to deal with Luofeng.

The key issue was that if Luofeng broke the rules first, the families of the three brothers, constrained by moral obligations, would be very unlikely to retaliate in kind. The Chen Family would use Luofeng’s transgression as a pretext to morally blackmail the three families.

"Let me tell you a story," Luofeng smiled and began. "In Shuangqing, there’s a motorcycle company that used to be a national leader—first in market share, first in sales, with peak annual profits of five to six hundred million."

"Oh? Lifan Motors?"

"Yes!" Luofeng nodded. "At the time, they were far ahead with their patents, and their engine technology was very advanced. Although the motorcycle industry faced restrictions due to certain policy adjustments, they had import and export licenses and achieved excellent marketing results overseas. However, they veered off course and insisted on entering the automobile industry."

Luofeng sighed. "Sometimes, something might appear unbreakable, but if it begins to collapse from the inside..."

Chen Dali understood. "So, we’re to start from within the Chen Family?"

"You mentioned earlier that the bank would offer die-hard support, right?" Luofeng asked. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
