by DewdropTL — Over the next few weeks, Jing Hong spoke with Jing Tianping twice more—once on Jing Hong's initiative, and the other on Jing Tianping's—yet they still failed to reach an agreement. The occasion Jing Hong initiated was a round of golf at an upscale club, but they didn't come to terms on business. Instead, a college senior nearby recognized Jing Hong as a so-called "mogul" and actually handed over his resume. Jing Hong actually liked people who knew how to seize opportunities, so he had the company's…

by DewdropTL — After watching for a while, Zhou Chang entered through the back door of the venue. Once again, he leaned somewhat lazily against the wooden wall paneling at the very back of the room, gazing at Jing Hong on the stage in the distance. As the speech was drawing to a close, Jing Hong’s assistant, Tan Qian, walked up to Zhou Chang with a phone in hand and politely greeted, "Mr. Zhou." Zhou Chang shifted his gaze from Jing Hong on the stage to Tan Qian beside him, letting out a casual syllable:…

by DewdropTL — With the Saint Games matter settled, Jing Hong gave himself a short three-to-four-day break. Ever since he took over the reins of the empire, Jing Hong had never taken a vacation. There was simply too much work. Jing Hong had his assistant, Tan Qian, book an island in the Maldives to unwind. The resort was opened a few years ago by LVMH, and Jing Hong had never been there before. It was said to have exceptional ocean views, facilities, food, and service, making it ideal for a vacation. Most…

Once, the two of them attended a roundtable discussion at a forum together. Jing Hong was accompanied by several people, including Zhao Hanqing, and Zhou Chang's side was much the same. Before the session began, Jing Hong waited in the lounge. Seeing that there was still a bit of time left, he wanted to place a brief call to a certain Fanhai executive. Zhao Hanqing happened to…

by DewdropTL — Just as Jing Hong had anticipated, the progress of the Med-Ferry acquisition was indeed not smooth sailing. Fanhai and Qinghui revised their offers several times, raising the bidding price repeatedly. Then, just as Med-Ferry’s board of directors was gradually leaning toward Fanhai Group, Qinghui suddenly hiked their offer price by 12.5%. Med-Ferry was instantly stunned by the massive bid.

by DewdropTL — There is an old saying: "Before one wave subsides, another rises." There is another saying: "Blessings rarely come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly." Before the troublesome matter with Jing Tianping and "Wujie Live" could even be settled, Fanhai Group encountered yet another round of short selling on NASDAQ. The short sellers "borrowed" a massive amount of Fanhai Group shares to sell first, intending to buy them back at real-time market prices and return them after an expected sharp drop…
