Qin Chuchu trembled involuntarily, a bit at a loss.
Her pearly teeth bit down on her red lip.
She had seen many big occasions. Meeting a client, even a major one, usually didn’t faze her in the slightest.
But meeting Bai Jinghong was an exception.
The scenes from that day in the car, in her private villa bedroom, played in her mind like a slideshow.
“Don’t be nervous. If you are, I’ll get nervous too!” Bai Jinghong laughed.
Qin Chuchu puffed out her cheeks slightly, as if wanting to laugh, but held it back.
“I came today not just to see you, but also because I have something I need your help with.”
“Hmm?” Qin Chuchu looked at Bai Jinghong.
She was genuinely surprised. This Young Master, with such overwhelming power and influence, needed her help?
“Young Master Bai… just say it plainly.”
Bai Jinghong leaned closer, smoothing down a stray lock of hair that had fallen by her ear, and said gently, “Call me Jinghong. Young Master Bai feels a bit distant.”
This action made Qin Chuchu’s heart race even more, her body tensing up.
“Mm…” In the end, she answered quietly.
“Then I’ll be direct. I have an opponent, well, not really an opponent.”
“He planted a spy by my side!”
Qin Chuchu asked, “Close to you? To steal business secrets?”
“Partly that. He probably also wants to sleep with me!” Bai Jinghong bluffed.
Such blunt and crude words left Qin Chuchu momentarily stunned.
“Then… what do you want me to do?” Qin Chuchu murmured.
“As the Director of Real Estate, your judgment is definitely sound. I came to you specifically to ask you to help me draft an investment strategy.”
“A strategy? You mean you want me to make a fake one?” Qin Chuchu was an elite among elites and understood instantly.
“Yes!” Bai Jinghong looked at Qin Chuchu with admiration. “The strategy is, of course, fake.”
Bai Jinghong’s entire demeanor had shifted.
He now exuded a highly oppressive aura.
“The other side planted someone to steal my secrets, so I’ll give them false information and mislead them!”
“Openly repairing the plank roads, secretly crossing at Chencang!” Qin Chuchu murmured.
“Exactly. Chuchu, help me create a development plan for the Bai Corporation for the next few months!”
“Make real estate investment the group’s primary development focus!”
“Don’t ask me why I’m coming to you. It’s because I don’t trust anyone else!”
Bai Jinghong stated bluntly.
It wasn’t that Bai Jinghong didn’t trust the Bai Corporation’s own talents. It was because Qin Chuchu truly was a super talent in this field.
Chen Lin was a War God, able to endure and fight, but he wasn’t proficient in business matters.
However, his subordinates were different, especially that “Impermanence,” who was also an exceptionally sharp business prodigy.
Only by ensuring everything was flawless could Bai Jinghong deal a serious blow to the group Chen Lin had just established.
Hearing Bai Jinghong say this, Qin Chuchu truly felt a bit touched.
Entrusting such a major matter to her—what trust this was!
Bai Jinghong laughed:
“The other side’s group has always been quite powerful in real estate investment, both domestically and internationally!”
“Once you finish the plan, I’ll pass this development strategy to the other side through the person who’s close to me!”
Qin Chuchu raised a question. “If this ‘other side’ you mention is so formidable, they’ll surely see through the flaws!”
Bai Jinghong had naturally considered this and smiled. “That brings us to the other party’s personality!”
“Personality?” Qin Chuchu understood somewhat. “Impulsive? Competitive?”
“Right!” Bai Jinghong reached out and gently rubbed Qin Chuchu’s pretty face. “The other side has lost face in front of me several times now, humiliated each time!” “If they’re tricked into thinking the Bai Corporation’s next major focus is real estate, they’ll definitely pour funds into it to battle me!”
Qin Chuchu’s eyes lit up. “Mm. If their personality is like that, then no matter what land you bid for, they’ll compete with you!”
“They might even blindly compete with you because they’re desperate to beat you!”
“That’s exactly what I mean!” Bai Jinghong smiled. “Now, I’ll ask you a question. Under asset evaluation, with their funds clearly insufficient compared to the Bai Corporation’s, how do we make them go all-in and compete for bids?”
Qin Chuchu answered almost without hesitation. “That’s simple. When drafting the strategy, mark a price ceiling so they know your bottom line.”
“Businessmen value profit, and this is a long-term investment. Exceeding the ceiling price reduces the potential profit margin, making it less meaningful for a major group.”
“But the other side only cares about suppressing you. They’ll keep competing while ensuring they don’t incur losses.”
Bai Jinghong truly adored the woman before him; her business acumen was razor-sharp.
“However, I want to ask, what about the land selection? That’s a major issue!”
Bai Jinghong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled. “The land selection—I’ll discuss that with you in a moment.”
“Since I want you to help me make this strategy, I’ll tell you the whole plan.”
“After I drive the price up to the ceiling in the plan, I’ll deliberately lose to them!”
“This increases their land acquisition cost while giving them the false sense of having beaten me. They’ll actually be very happy!”
Qin Chuchu also chuckled softly. “So does that mean you can keep stringing him along like this?”
“Constantly starting new projects, choosing new targets, and then constantly losing to him?”
“In reality, you don’t spend a single cent, yet you lead him by the nose and burden him heavily.”
“Accumulated to a certain point, he’ll inevitably face cash shortages and excessively high costs. It’s like making a person carry a load they simply can’t bear.”
“At that time, the outside world will definitely view the other group’s prospects negatively, and their stock price will fluctuate!”
Bai Jinghong nodded, then shook his head. “That’s part of it. My real goal goes beyond that. And according to the drafted strategy, this can work in the short term.”
“On the surface, I’m developing real estate investment, but actually, I’m drawing all their funds into it!”
“Once the burden reaches a certain level, I’ll then attack their stock price. That’s one of the killing blows!”
Qin Chuchu had to admire Bai Jinghong’s strategic vision.
If the other group competed with Bai Jinghong, their funds would certainly be tied up in real estate investment.
Their ability to handle a crisis would inevitably weaken. They definitely couldn’t withstand Bai Jinghong’s attack and would likely collapse in response!
At the same time, she was secretly astonished.
Bai Jinghong had actually used the other party’s frustration from consecutive losses against him as groundwork.
He had a death grip on the opponent’s personality.
The opponent, having lost to Bai Jinghong repeatedly, was desperate for revenge.
Upon receiving the false intelligence sent by Bai Jinghong, delivered to him through the hands of his trusted spy, the opponent would definitely take the bait.
He would spare no expense to suppress Bai Jinghong in real estate investment.
While suppressing, he’d use the Bai Corporation’s forward-thinking approach to not only vent his anger but also snatch projects and make a profit.
And this would precisely land him right in Bai Jinghong’s trap, plunging him into the vast net Bai Jinghong had woven!
Every single aspect, every step, was firmly under Bai Jinghong’s control.
Bai Jinghong naturally thought the same.
He wasn’t worried at all about the opponent not taking the bait.
Taking the bait was inevitable.
That bastard Chen Lin currently needed fame and a chance to stomp on him.
Shen Yaoyao was his confidant, one of his War Generals.
In Chen Lin’s eyes, he, Bai Jinghong, was just an unlearned, womanizing, hungry ghost. Chen Lin would never imagine he could design such a scheme to trap him.
And the even bigger pitfall was far from over…
