Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — I tore up a 1.8 billion contract, my boss went crazy right at the celebration party
His voice carried a rare seriousness for the first time.
“Hua Tinh, where are you?”
“I'm on the balcony.”
“Come to my office immediately.”
“Something happened.”
My heart sank slightly. I hung up. Quickly return to the building. A few minutes later. I pushed open the door to the general manager's office. General Ly is standing in front of a giant electronic screen. On it appears the shareholder structure chart of Sang Khoa. He pointed to the name at the top. An unfamiliar name. The voice became quieter.
"Sang Khoa's parent company, Thien Vu Capital, has officially launched."
“They sent someone to take over all operations of Sang Khoa.”
“That person's name is Tran Van Ly.”
“In the investment world, he is famous for being cold-blooded and extremely cruel.”
“Just now he publicly announced…”
“Thien Vu Capital will defy all costs to defeat Thinh Hoa.”
General Ly clenched the pen in his hand. His face was heavy.
“One of our core suppliers just unilaterally canceled the contract.”
"The company's strongest technical team has just been lured away by the other party with three times their salary."
“And this is just the beginning.”
He looked at me. Each word fell like an alarm bell.
“War…”
“It's begun.”
The atmosphere in General Ly's office was so heavy it was suffocating. The usual cheerfulness on his face had completely disappeared. Instead, there was an unprecedented seriousness.
“Tran Van Ly...”
I softly repeated that name. Immediately review all relevant information in your mind. Thien Vu Capital's trump card. A famous market manipulator in the investment world. Deep intentions. The businesses he targets have only two outcomes. Or get taken over. Or be beaten into bankruptcy. There have never been any exceptions. Only now do I understand. From beginning to end, Zhou Rui was just a chess piece pushed forward. Behind him. There is still a person like Tran Van Ly who has his back. And that's my real opponent.
“Why would he do that?”
“Even if a 1.8 billion yuan project is lost, it is not worth much to Thien Vu Capital.”
“It's not enough to mobilize such a large force.”
General Ly shook his head.
“You still don't understand capitalist logic.”
“What they want is not money.”
“It's about face.”
“It is authority.”
“Sang Khoa is the strategic chess piece they planted in S city.”
“It's part of their business map.”
“We stole Sang Khoa's project.”
“It's like slapping Thien Vu Capital in the face.”
“This time Tran Van Ly did not come here to win back the contract.”
He stopped for a moment. The voice turned cold.
“He has come to destroy us.”
I immediately understood what he meant. Cut off supplies. Attract talent. Just the beginning. Tran Van Ly's next attacks will certainly continue one after another. Every blow is fatal. Until Thinh Hoa completely collapsed. I looked at the name on the screen. There was no fear in my heart. A feeling of excitement that had not appeared for a long time gradually rose again. That's correct. If the opponent is only Chu Due, this game is too boring. I spoke up. The voice was calm but determined.
“He wants to fight.”
“Then fight.”
“The capitalist game... I know how to play it too.”
General Ly looked at me in surprise. He did not expect that in this situation I could still maintain my integrity so calm.
“What are your plans?”
I walked in front of the screen.
“They dug our people.”
“So we dig their people.”
“They cut off our supply chain.”
“So we open a new supply chain.”
“They want to play a price war.”
“So let's play until the end.”
“I will make Tran Van Ly understand that…”
"Thinh Hoa is not a soft persimmon that anyone can squeeze any way they want."
My every word rang out decisively. General Ly was silent for a long time. Then slam your hand down on the table.
“Vice President Hua!”
“Sure enough, I didn't see you wrong!”
“From now on, all of the company's resources are coordinated by you!”
“I just need a result.”
“Win this battle!”
The days that followed. The business world of S city is immersed in an unprecedented tense atmosphere. The war between Thinh Hoa and Thien Vu Capital officially broke out in full force. Tran Van Ly's reputation is truly legendary. He maximizes Thien Vu Capital's huge financial advantage. Frantically strangled Thinh Hoa from all directions. Any business cooperating with Thinh Hoa will receive a warning. Or terminate cooperation. Or become an enemy of Thien Vu Capital. Just for a short time. Thinh Hoa's supply chain up and down was almost cut in half. Stock prices plummeted without stopping. Inside the company began to panic. Many employees silently send their job applications elsewhere. A dark cloud covers the entire corporation. In just a few days. Mr. Ly's hair has clearly turned gray. Become the busiest person in the company. Only sleep about three hours a day. Not meeting with customers. I'm on my way to meet a customer. I used all the relationships accumulated over the past ten years. Personally visit each company. Each partner. Convince. Retain wavering people. Equals higher profits. Better terms. I pulled them back to Thinh Hoa's front line. I also started to counterattack. Tran Van Ly dug our people. I went directly to dig people from Sang Khoa. After Zhou Rui came to power. He respects his family. Squeezing talent. The company has long been rife with discontent. It only cost me a very small price. Pulled their entire core research team over to their side. This one blow. Strike straight at Sang Khoa's fatal weakness. That evening. After finishing a social session. I dragged my tired body back to the office. On the table there is a cup of coffee that is still hot. Next to it is a note. General Ly's handwriting. Just four words:
“Pay attention to your health.”
But it warms my heart slightly. I picked up my cup of coffee. Take a sip. But very alert. Right at that moment. Personal phone rings. Some strange machines. I picked up the phone.
