Chapter 418 I want to make money from both sides!
At 701: p.m., the Hongqi N slowly stopped at the entrance of the alley of the Xiao family courtyard.
After getting off the car and turning into the alley, Su Chen saw Xiao Chen squatting in front of the vermilion gate smoking, and occasionally glancing towards the alley.
Seeing Su Chen appear, Xiao Chen quickly stood up and flicked the unfinished cigarette in his hand into the gutter.
"You're finally here. I've been waiting for so long that the flowers are almost withering!"
Xiao Chen came up quickly, put his arm around Su Chen's shoulders and said, "The old man has asked me several times when you will arrive, and even sent me to the door to wait for you. You must comfort me."
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and jokingly said with a smile: "Comfort? How to comfort? You won't let me take you to a private club to play and touch you."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately rolled his eyes at Su Chen, "Go away, I'm asking you to share some of the old man's inventory!"
When talking about the old man, Xiao Chen lowered his voice a lot and glanced into the door twice, fearing that his words would be heard by the old man.
"Okay, if I can get it today, I'll give you half." A hint of expectation flashed in Su Chen's eyes. There was nothing he could do about it, since the old man's stocks were all top-notch.
Besides, the old man’s consumption cannot keep up with the supply speed. It’s just sitting there anyway. He took it back to prevent it from expiring and getting moldy!
"Brother Chen, let's get back to the topic. The old man called me here in such a hurry, it shouldn't be about the things at the dock or outside, right?" Su Chen looked at Xiao Chen with a puzzled look and asked.
If it is just for the port, there is no need to be so anxious. After all, the food is already in the bowl and cannot fly away.
Excluding the port, it means that there are other things that can be used by him. Unless something happens abroad that requires his power, Su Chen really can't think of anything else.
As for the domestic situation...that's definitely impossible, don't joke, if it were in the domestic situation, you would still need your own help, but the people above can just solve it themselves.
Hearing Su Chen's question, Xiao Chen's playful smile instantly disappeared, and his expression became extremely serious. He looked at Su Chen for a moment before asking, "How did you guess? Did you get the news?"
This question confused Su Chen, "News? What news? Could there really be a problem outside?"
Su Chen quickly repeated his analysis to Xiao Chen.
After listening to this, Xiao Chen smacked his lips, and it took him about five or six seconds to utter a word, "Your brain is really quick!"
He sighed deeply and patted Su Chen's shoulder, "Let's go, don't keep the old man waiting for too long! The old man will tell you personally what the matter is."
Su Chen nodded and followed Xiao Chen into the courtyard.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Su!" The security guard at the door greeted them warmly as they entered the room.
Su Chen smiled and nodded in response. At the same time, he looked at Fade Chen who was following him and said, "Give me the port documents. You can chat with them outside."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately handed the document in his hand to Su Chen. He knew in his heart that the scene that followed would not be something he could experience.
It was a great honor for him to be able to walk into this courtyard. Could he really expect to go in and sit down and have a cup of tea?
"Old man!" As soon as I walked into the middle courtyard, I saw Old Man Xiao lying on a recliner just like before, fanning himself gently with a feather fan in his hand.
"Here you are! Come and sit down!" Seeing Su Chen coming, Old Master Xiao smiled and pointed to a chair beside him, motioning him to sit there.
Su Chen looked at the empty chair in the yard, gave Xiao Chen a look that told him to wish him good luck, then walked over and sat down on the chair.
He consciously picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. After taking a sip, he said with emotion, "Grandpa, the tea here is still comfortable to drink."
"Hahaha~" Old Master Xiao laughed loudly and pointed his right index finger in the air, "I don't know why you, kid, say you enjoy drinking my tea, but you are just thinking about the little stock of the old man."
At this moment, Mr. Xiao's face showed an expression that said, "I've seen through your tricks."
Su Chen, whose little trick was exposed, did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled naturally and said, "Hehe, old man, you are not short of that. I have almost finished what I brought back last time. If I run out of food, how can I live?"
"Go away! You are the boss of Yunmengze, and you still need that little from me?" Old Master Xiao did not expect that Su Chen would become more and more shameless, and he would just take advantage of the situation. If he really agreed to it, he would be afraid that a lot of his food rations would be taken away by Su Chen again.
"Hehe~" Su Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's free, who wouldn't want to take advantage of this!"
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he burst into laughter, coughed twice tactically, and then turned his gaze to the file bag that Su Chen placed on the table.
"I heard from Xiao Chen that one of the shareholders of Black Rock Group, the Morgan family, called you?"
Hearing this, Su Chen's expression became serious, and even his body, which was originally leaning against the back of the chair, straightened up.
"Yes, that's right. I met Arthur from the Morgan family when I went to Bald Eagle before. He was the one who called me this time. From his tone, it seems that these docks are very important to them."
Su Chen explained the whole story and also shared his own analysis and personal opinions.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao nodded thoughtfully. Although he didn't know what plan the Black Rock Group had, he knew that whoever controlled the port would control the initiative in cross-border trade.
Especially the dozens of ports in Su Chen's hands are all located on the most important shipping routes in Europe and the United States. It can be said that he can enjoy the feeling of making millions of dollars a day just by lying down.
Thinking of this, Mr. Xiao thought of the bargaining chip that Su Chen used to make a deal with the Li Group, and immediately asked: "Xiao Chen, have you prepared the relevant means for the 10nm technology that you are trading with the Li Group?"
"Will the Li Group develop 10nm or even more advanced chip technology from 7nm chips?"
"Don't worry, old man!" Su Chen smiled and comforted: "This matter was handled by Professor Wu himself, and I guarantee that it will be handled properly!"
"What's more... the Zhengdao Research Base is already researching 7nm mass production technology, and it is expected to be put into mass production next month!"
Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a sly light in his eyes. "By then, the Li Group's castrated version of the 10nm chip will only be able to survive in the low-end market. Even the low-end market will be taken over by our own 10nm chips!"
"7nm chips have achieved mass production?" Two exclamations sounded at the same time. Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Chen looked at Su Chen in astonishment, both shocked by this information.
In their minds, the mass production of 10nm chips seemed like yesterday, but they didn’t expect that Su Chen had another blockbuster news.
7nm chips are about to be mass-produced… You should know that the world’s most advanced chip technology is only 10nm, and even the leading chip company Nvidia is not researching it.
We don’t know when it will be developed, let alone put into mass production.
If Su Chen's chip company can really achieve this, it can be said to be the No. 1 in the world's chip field!
After the shock, Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chen quickly calmed down their excitement. Looking at Su Chen's calm face, they were excited and wanted to beat him up. Wasn't this a perfect example of Su Chen showing off? And it was a face-to-face punch!
"How many secrets are you hiding, kid?" Old Master Xiao looked at Su Chen with melancholy.
Every time I meet this kid, I always bring him some surprises.
"Hehe~ Old man, to be honest, I don't know either. You know I'm just a hands-off boss. I leave all the work to the people below me. If there is any credit, it's the result of their hard work."
Naturally, Su Chen would not reveal his past to Grandpa Xiao. If he let others know his "underwear", there would be no surprises in the future.
"You are such a shrewd boy. If you say so, then it must be so!" Old Master Xiao smiled and shook his head. He had no intention of digging into the matter. After all, everyone has their own secrets!
But soon the smile on Mr. Xiao's face slowly disappeared, because he associated what Su Chen had just said with something shocking.
"Are you planning to attack the Li Group?" Old Master Xiao looked at Su Chen with a serious expression and asked.
Xiao Chen, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard what his grandfather said, "Take action? What action? Are you going to take revenge on the Li Group for pulling you out and resisting the Black Rock Group's acquisition of the port?"
When Su Chen heard this, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. It turned out that the old man was still the most experienced. He had only said a few words, but Mr. Xiao came to the conclusion that he wanted to take action against the Li Group.
I have to admire these people who eat more salt than rice.
Su Chen nodded frankly and said, "Well, from the moment the Li Group offered the port for trading, I knew that Li Zhexi had bad intentions!"
"Who would be a good person and use these profitable ports as bargaining chips? Unless he has no other choice, or he urgently needs a large sum of money to invest in a project, or there is a more powerful force forcing him to sell these ports."
"As long as you think about these, you will know what the hell is going on here!"
"Since the people of the Li Group were so cruel first, there will be no problem for me to take action against them!"
Before Mr. Xiao could speak, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to ask: "So what are you going to do? Let the Black Rock Group deal with the Li Group?"
Xiao Chen naturally had his own thoughts when he said this. When he called last night, he learned about Arthur from him, and also heard Su Chen talk about his operations. Combining the two together, he naturally made this guess.
Hearing this, Su Chen smiled, shook his head, and nodded, which made Xiao Chen even more confused.
Before he could ask, Su Chen took the lead in explaining: "The emergence of the Black Rock Group is just a coincidence. If the Black Rock Group is really targeting the Li Group, then it will be the icing on the cake for my plan!"
"Huh?" Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Chen's expressions froze when they heard this. They both heard from these words that Su Chen had made corresponding plans when the transaction was taking place, or even before that.
Old Master Xiao picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it. He took two puffs before asking, "How are you going to attack the Li Group? Judging from your attitude, this shouldn't be a small fight, right?"
"Of course! What's the point of such a small fight!" As Su Chen spoke, he took Old Man Xiao's cigarette very honestly, took out two from it, handed one to Xiao Chen who was looking at him with envy, and then lit his own cigarette.
As for the pack of cigarettes with a dozen cigarettes in it, Su Chen put it in his pocket as a matter of course.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything to stop it. He could only comfort himself in his heart: "Don't be angry~ Not angry at all! I don't need this pack of cigarettes!"
When Xiao Chen saw Su Chen's operation, he glanced at the old man and blinked at Su Chen, indicating that don't forget to give him half of it when the time comes!
Su Chen immediately gave him an OK look.
Old Master Xiao did not notice the two's little movements. He shook off the half-burned ash of his cigarette and said, "Tell me, what is your plan, kid? You are not thinking of destroying the Li Group, are you?"
"It is definitely impossible to bring them down. As the largest financial group in South Korea, they still have the strength. The most I can do is to cut some meat from them. As for how much I can cut, it depends on how courageous the Lee Group is!"
"Are you thinking of going through the stock market?" A gleam of light flashed in Mr. Xiao's eyes, and he immediately guessed Su's intention.
Su Chen smiled slightly, nodded and responded: "That's right, it has to be you, old man, who understands it at once!"
"Although the Li Group has a strong foundation, the capital market is changing rapidly. As long as we seize the opportunity, we may be able to make them bleed!"
Mr. Xiao pondered for a moment and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. "The stock market is too risky. If you are not careful, you will be hit back. Are you sure?"
"Yes! At least 90% sure!" Su Chen took a few puffs and put out the cigarette in the ashtray. He then said slowly, "I have already arranged for Pei Rang to lead the team to quietly absorb the shares of Li Group Semiconductor. The progress is going very smoothly!"
"Before the Li Group reproduces the 10nm-level chip, we will buy as many stocks as possible and wait for the Li Group to announce the chip and raise the stock price!"
"If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy! I will wait until the stock price reaches a high point. When the Li Group is celebrating, I will sell all the long stocks in my hands, and when I go short, I will announce the success of the 7nm chip. By then, I will make all the money from both sides!"
After hearing Su Chen's plan, Mr. Xiao fell silent and stopped waving the fan in his hand.
After a long time, Mr. Xiao came back to his senses and looked at Su Chen with burning eyes, "You are trying to cut off the source of the trouble. If things go wrong, the semiconductor company of the Li Group may never recover!"
"It's like catching rabbits while robbing grass!" Su Chen took a few gulps from the teacup, which made his dry throat feel much better. He then continued, "It would be great if we really can't recover. Then Xiaxin International will be able to quickly occupy the domestic and even Southeast Asian markets. It would be the best of both worlds!"
A trace of approval flashed across Old Man Xiao's eyes. "This plan is indeed ruthless, and it's aimed at people's hearts! But have you ever thought that the entire Korean country is behind the Li Group?"
"So what I said at the beginning was just cutting the meat!" Su Chen spread his hands, "But...when the time comes, you can tell this news to Black Rock Group. I think they will definitely be happy to get out."
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Chen to come up with a back-up plan so quickly.
Just based on the fact that the Li Group handed over the port to Su Chen and introduced Su Chen to the Black Rock Group, the Black Rock Group will not let the Li Group go. Not to mention there is such a good opportunity. It will definitely act without hesitation and strike a heavy blow to the Li Group.
Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Fuck! Su Chen, you are so sinister! If Black Rock Group is also affected, not to mention semiconductors, I'm afraid even the stock market of the Li Group will plummet!"
But he lowered his voice the next second and said, "How about you take me with you! I want to make some money too!"
"Get lost!" Old Master Xiao slapped Xiao Chen on the back of his head and said unhappily, "You bastard, get out of here and stand aside!"
Then he turned to look at Su Chen, "This matter is quite risky. If you need help, remember to call me!"
Su Chen felt warm in his heart when he heard this. What Grandpa Xiao said showed that there are people from above to support you, so you can have fun as you like!
"Grandpa, if there are fluctuations in the international semiconductor market in the future, shouldn't we arrange to reap some of the profits? It's all foreigners' money anyway, so it would be a waste not to make some money, don't you think?" Su Chen chuckled with a sly smile on his face.
"You~ah~you!" Old Master Xiao pointed at Su Chen and smiled. How could he not understand what Su Chen meant.
"We'll talk about this later. Whether it will end up like this depends on what other people say!"
Mr. Xiao put down the fan in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Okay, let's get back to business!"
