The next day.
Han Lang was still worried about the Tian family's affairs when he saw Han Kang, who had not returned all night, rush back in a hurry. As soon as he saw Han Lang, he quickly called out.
"Brother!"
Before he could explain, Han Lang waved his hand and asked first.
"Wait! Let me guess. Has most of the Tian family's market been taken over by the Wang family? Did you only get a few scraps?"
Han Kang was annoyed when he heard this.
"Sigh! Don't talk about it. Xue Rong and I worked all night and couldn't get any information. The Wang family seemed to have foresight. Every time we finally got an opportunity, they were always one step ahead! It's really making me furious!"
Compared to Han Kang's complaints, Han Lang looked understanding.
"That's for sure! After you left yesterday, Brother Tang and I analyzed it for a long time. We felt that the Tian family's tragedy was most likely caused by the Wang family. The current situation perfectly illustrates that this matter is indeed inseparable from the Wang family!"
Reminded by Han Lang, Han Kang, who had been working hard to seize the market all night, instantly understood the trick.
"No wonder! I was wondering how they were so powerful. So they were prepared long ago!"
After speaking, he seemed to remember something and quickly said.
"That's right, Brother! We are now facing another problem. Before I came back, I heard from the management of the construction company that the construction market had unusual fluctuations early this morning. Could this also be the Wang family's doing?"
Han Lang affirmed, "Most likely! The Wang family has annexed the Tian family and greatly increased their strength. They will definitely target us first. You..."
Before he could finish, Han Kang's phone suddenly rang.
He pressed the answer button, listened for a moment, and his face changed drastically!
"What? Our market has been impacted so much?"
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll think of a way!"
After speaking, he quickly hung up the phone and said anxiously to Han Lang.
"Brother! Something big has happened. After the Wang family annexed the Tian family, they immediately began to squeeze our market. Currently, we are retreating steadily!"
Han Lang's brow furrowed immediately.
"After all, the Tian family is a prominent family in Lecheng. It's normal that we can't compete when the Wang family ate so much at once. Think quickly, what should we do now to turn the situation around?"
Han Kang thought for a moment and replied, "Unless..."
Just then, Tang Haoran walked in hurriedly.
Seeing Han Kang and Han Lang present, he quickly said to them.
"That's great! You are both here. The Tang Group has already felt the Wang family's actions. How about it, Brother Han, can you still hold on?"
Han Lang did not answer. Instead, Han Kang shook his head slightly.
"The Wang family has combined the strength of two major families, and their momentum is too strong and so unexpected. According to the current situation, I think it will be difficult for my Han family to hold on!"
"How much help do you need? My Tang family will definitely spare no effort!" Tang Haoran quickly expressed his willingness to provide support.
Han Lang and Han Kang were warmed by these words, but they were also a little uncertain.
"This... it's not easy to judge, is it?" Han Lang asked.
"That's right! The situation is not very clear now, so it's indeed difficult to estimate!" Han Kang replied.
"Then..."
Just as Tang Haoran was about to say something more, he suddenly caught sight of Old Master Cao walking over anxiously, supported by Cao Xuerong.
Compared to the uncertainty of the three, Old Master Cao said decisively as soon as he arrived.
"You don't need to estimate. The Wang family has annexed the Tian family and possesses the strength of two major families. This battle is definitely a battle where the Wang family will go all out. If you don't coordinate well, I can guarantee that within three days, the Han family will be completely defeated. They might even go bankrupt!"
Everyone was stunned!
Although the Wang family's counterattack was fierce this time, it had only just begun to show signs.
The Han family's economic strength was still among the prominent families. How could they be completely defeated so quickly?
However,
Old Master Cao had been in the business world for many years, and his insight should be sharper than anyone present.
Since he was so certain now, he must have some confidence.
Thinking of this, Han Lang quickly inquired.
"Then Brother Cao, do you have any good solutions?"
Old Master Cao's eyes were firm, and he replied.
"Wang Shan has always been ruthless in business, and he won't leave you any room. Moreover, in a business war of this magnitude, besides fighting him head-on, what other tricks are there? Therefore, only by raising your own strength to the same level as his can you have a glimmer of hope!"
As he spoke, he took a delicate folder from Cao Xuerong and handed it to Han Lang.
"What is this?" Han Lang asked.
"This is all my Cao family's industries! With this, your Han family will also possess the strength of two major families, which should be enough to contend with the Wang family!"
Han Lang was greatly shocked and quickly refused.
"How can this be done! Brother Cao. Please take it back quickly!" He said, pushing the item back.
Seeing this, Old Master Cao glared fiercely at Han Lang.
"Brother Han! Is this the time to be polite with me? The enemy is at the gates! Moreover, isn't my little Rong'er going to be part of your Han family sooner or later? Consider these as the dowry from my Cao family in advance!"
Cao Xuerong and Han Kang blushed at these words.
But Han Lang still felt it was inappropriate.
"Brother Cao! Even if Han Kang and Miss Taotao will be together sooner or later, my Han family hasn't even proposed yet. How can you give the dowry first? This is absolutely not allowed, it's against etiquette!"
"Han Lang!" Old Master Cao was slightly annoyed by these words.
"If you still consider me your Brother Cao, then accept it! Don't you remember that last time your Han family was in trouble, my son Cao Jian was short-sighted and did not provide assistance. This has always been a thorn in my side. Moreover, if you lose this battle with the Wang family, your Han family will return to its pre-liberation status overnight. Do you want my precious daughter to marry into your Han family and eat plain rice in the future? You must win this time, not lose. This is my old man's request!"
Seeing that Old Master Cao was truly angry, Han Lang didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Tang Haoran suddenly laughed and scolded.
"Old Cao! I think you're really senile now. Giving these industry proofs to Brother Han is indeed unreasonable!"
Tang Haoran's words not only earned Han Lang's grateful look but also earned him a glare from Old Master Cao.
Fortunately, before Old Master Cao could get angry, he said again.
"Han family's business has always been managed by Han Kang. Even if you give him more, he won't use it. Moreover, since this is a dowry, shouldn't it also be given to your future grandson-in-law? Giving it to Brother Han, what does that mean!"
Saying that, he snatched the Cao family's industry proofs from Han Lang's hand and stuffed them into Han Kang's hand.
This turn of events surprised everyone.
However, compared to Han Lang's astonishment, Old Master Cao's expression improved considerably.
Immediately after, Tang Haoran said again.
"However, let's talk business! Even if the Han family now has the financial resources of two major families like the Wang family, it might still be difficult to achieve a 100% victory, right?"
"Since Wang Shan is challenging us so unscrupulously, shouldn't we not just think about rivaling him? Therefore, Han Kang! All the industries of my Tang family will also be at your disposal before sunset today. With the financial support of three major families, I think you should be able to give Wang Shan a taste of his own medicine, right?"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
