"You know Hai Xin Group might be linked to Xian Shang Ren Jian, so you're sure Hai Xin Group will be dragged down now?" Wang Weiguo squinted and scrutinized Ye Yun.
There was a significant flaw in Ye Yun's words.
Short selling has a time limit, and why would Ye Yun choose this specific period to target Hai Xin Group?
This left Wang Weiguo unable to understand.
Yes, Ye Yun could see that Hai Xin was a shield for Xian Shang Ren Jian.
But how could he be so certain that Hai Xin would collapse in such a short time?
"It's very simple," Ye Yun smiled. "When I was consuming at Xian Shang Ren Jian, I saw someone."
"Who?"
Ye Yun took out his phone and found a news article, handing it to Wang Weiguo.
The renowned idol Wu Qian is suspected of soliciting prostitution and has been apprehended by the police.
Wang Weiguo was taken aback.
What did this have to do with it?
"Wu Qian has been apprehended by the police. To reduce his own sentence, he will definitely expose Xian Shang Ren Jian, and at that time, Hai Xin Group will also be implicated," Ye Yun explained.
"You're so sure that Wu Qian will want to redeem himself by betraying Hai Xin Group?" Wang Weiguo was somewhat confused.
This reason seemed too far-fetched.
"Not sure," Ye Yun said.
He couldn't tell Wang Weiguo that in his past life, Xian Shang Ren Jian was exposed because of Wu Qian, could he?
"Then you still invested over a hundred million to short Hai Xin Group?"
"Old Wang, I'm gambling too, but I'm playing short-term. Even if Wu Qian didn't expose Xian Shang Ren Jian, I would have withdrawn and wouldn't have been trapped. At most, I would have lost a little."
"However, once Wu Qian isn't tight-lipped, Hai Xin Group's stock price will definitely plummet. Compared to the risk, the reward is sufficient," Ye Yun said.
Hmm…
Wang Weiguo fell silent, his brows furrowed into a deep crease.
For some reason.
He always felt that Ye Yun wasn't telling the whole truth.
Because throughout the entire process, Ye Yun displayed an air of strong confidence.
So confident that Hai Xin Group's stock price would absolutely plummet.
Otherwise, why would Ye Yun rope in Wang Wenwen and the others?
It simply didn't add up!
But looking at Ye Yun's entire logical thread, he couldn't pinpoint exactly why.
It sounded a bit nonsensical, but upon closer thought, it made some sense.
At this moment, Wang Weiguo found Ye Yun increasingly mysterious.
He could produce miraculous licorice medicine, predict things, and yet be a hundred percent accurate.
Hoo…
Wang Weiguo took a deep breath and looked at Ye Yun, saying.
"You haven't told anyone else these things, have you."
"No, if I dared to say this, and the police really took action against Xian Shang Ren Jian and Hai Xin, wouldn't that alert them! I didn't even tell Wenwen and the others. Besides you, Old Wang, I haven't told a third person," Ye Yun guaranteed.
Wang Weiguo gave a wry smile.
"You're right. If Hai Xin and Xian Shang Ren Jian knew, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Old Wang, you mean the police are actually planning to take action against them?" Ye Yun feigned a look of surprise.
"Haha, don't try to pry information out of me. I'm very tight-lipped," Wang Weiguo laughed heartily.
He glanced at Ye Yun and continued.
"You're just trying to get information from me. Today, I called you here partly to thank you for your licorice medicine, and partly out of curiosity why you were shorting Hai Xin. As for the police deployment, I'm just a free-spirited old man in retirement. I have no interest in finding out."
With that, Wang Weiguo's smile was playful. "Moreover, you say, even if I knew something, would I tell you? Heh heh."
"Old Wang is right."
The two exchanged a knowing smile.
They were both old foxes.
They both understood each other perfectly.
Neither could hide anything from the other.
"Alright, this matter is over. Let's talk about the licorice medicine. What are your plans, and what do you need me to do?" Wang Weiguo cut straight to the chase.
"Heh heh, then I won't be polite, Old Wang. The company's procedures, factory, and land haven't been arranged yet. I just want Old Wang to help clear the path."
Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, Wang Weiguo couldn't help but smile.
No factory, no land, no tax registration, no legal entity, nothing.
And now he's here asking me to clear the path.
This is planning to act first and report later!
However, having personally experienced the miraculous effects of the licorice medicine, Wang Weiguo knew that its popularity was unstoppable, and his role was merely to facilitate it.
He didn't mind giving a push from behind for a product that could greatly benefit people's lives.
In fact, he would have done so even if Ye Yun hadn't mentioned it.
"This is no problem. Please expedite the paperwork as soon as possible. A product like this has societal benefits. However, young friend Ye, I want to remind you that this new medicine will not be covered by medical insurance..."
Wang Weiguo sighed at this point.
"Young friend Ye, there is only one illness in this world, the illness of poverty. I know the licorice medicine has great efficacy, and your research and development costs must be very high."
"It's just… sigh, consider it a plea from me, Wang Weiguo. I hope you can keep the price of the licorice medicine as low as possible so that ordinary people can afford it."
Wang Weiguo hesitated to speak, but finally voiced his thoughts.
Having personally experienced the magic of the licorice medicine, he knew that even an exorbitant price would be justified.
Imagine, a medicine that can strengthen the body, what a huge market it would have!
There would be no fear of consumers not paying!
However, such a miraculous medicine implied high development costs.
Just like the special drugs in "Dying to Survive," ordinary people couldn't afford them!
"Don't worry, Old Wang! Although I, Ye Yun, am young, I also know what money should be earned and what money shouldn't be earned. I guarantee that once it's truly popularized, the final selling price of the licorice medicine will not exceed one thousand yuan!" Ye Yun said earnestly.
"One thousand yuan?"
"Yes!"
Wang Weiguo's respect deepened.
At this moment, his evaluation of Ye Yun rose even higher!
Compared to the miraculous efficacy of the licorice medicine, a price of less than a thousand yuan was practically giving it away for free!
Faced with profit, Ye Yun actually managed to hold onto his principles!
In his lifetime, Wang Weiguo had seen countless people.
But someone like Ye Yun was one in ten thousand!
Just as Wang Weiguo was about to say something.
A car stopped at the entrance.
Two men alighted from the car. The one in front exuded an upright aura, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Behind him was Captain Zhang, in his police uniform.
"Teacher, do we have guests?"
The middle-aged man saw Ye Yun and Wang Weiguo under the old locust tree and greeted them.
Ye Yun recognized the middle-aged man with the upright demeanor and was taken aback.
Wasn't this Wu Xinmin, the Prefect of Jinling?
The person behind him looked a bit familiar…
As Ye Yun tried to recall Zhang Jinzhong's identity, Wang Weiguo's expression turned somewhat awkward.
Just as he had told Ye Yun that he didn't know about the police's deployment regarding Xian Shang Ren Jian and Hai Xin, the person had arrived.
It was a slap in the face!
However, Wang Weiguo thought.
Given Ye Yun's past experiences, the probability of him knowing Wu Xinmin was not high.
This made him feel less embarrassed.
"Teacher, who is this?"
Soon, Wu Xinmin walked to the old locust tree.
He was somewhat curious about Ye Yun's identity.
How could such a young man be having such a pleasant conversation with his teacher?
After all, even when his teacher was still in service, he himself couldn't have such in-depth conversations.
Could it be?
Recalling the purpose of his visit.
Wu Xinmin's expression remained unchanged, but he mused inwardly.
Could this young man be some financial tycoon, and the teacher is about to leak some information?
