Chapter 375 - 337: What Exactly is Brother Ling’s Goal?
Chapter 375: Chapter 337: What Exactly is Brother Ling’s Goal?
Celestial Dragon Investment Company placed a massive number of short orders this time. The full 3.3 billion US dollars were committed, covering a total of 3.3 million shares—a truly enormous volume.
Chen Lin checked to see where these short orders went. About forty percent were snapped up by the Dupont Consortium, while the remaining sixty percent were swallowed up by two different entities...
That’s right!
Two different entities.
"Besides Mitsubishi Technology Company, there’s another power buying up our short orders?!" Chen Lin’s gaze hardened as he made the discovery.
Even more critically, this other entity had acquired a larger number of the short orders, accounting for nearly forty of the remaining sixty percent.
This immediately caught Chen Lin’s full attention.
Initially, he had just assumed that only Mitsubishi Technology Company and the Dupont Consortium had entered the fray, so he hadn’t paid too much attention to where the short orders were specifically going...
"It’s the Moore Consortium!"
Chen Lin quickly investigated the identity of this final entity, and when he realized who it was, his expression grew even more solemn.
The strength of the Moore Consortium was not to be underestimated. Compared to the Dupont Consortium, they were even more powerful—you could even say they were a cut above.
What did that mean?
If the Dupont Consortium was a great white shark, then the Moore Consortium was a megalodon, possessing a deadly, overwhelming power.
"President Ye, the enemy we’re facing this time might be far beyond what we imagined," Chen Lin said in a grave tone.
He hadn’t expected this. On top of the Dupont Consortium, the Moore Consortium had now entered the fray as well.
In other words, besides the Dupont Consortium, Mitsubishi Technology Company, and a host of other Western high-tech companies, Ye Ling’s opponent list now included one more colossal power—
The Moore Consortium!
"The Moore Consortium and the Dupont Consortium. So two of the top ten financial consortiums are showing up at once?" Ye Ling chuckled, a flicker of fighting spirit in his eyes.
Facing opponents of this caliber, Ye Ling felt no fear. On the contrary, he was filled with the will to fight.
Was the Moore Consortium strong?
Of course they were!
Especially since it wasn’t just the Moore Consortium. There was also the Dupont Consortium, Mitsubishi Technology Company, and a whole lineup of other formidable Western financial powers.
’But have any of the opponents Brother Ling has faced on his journey been weak?’
’Not a single one!’
’Bauhinia Energy, the Imperial Capital Jiang Family...’
’Compared to the man he was back then, they were all in a completely different league!’
’And yet, Brother Ling still won.’
’And now, having grown to his current level, would Ye Ling really be afraid of these Western financial powers?’
Indeed!
’Brother Ling is already incredibly strong now!’
Besides Celestial Dragon Investment Company, he also had the powerful forces of Ning International and Dong Xun as his backers. But most importantly, there was Tianxin Technology Company.
This was one of Ye Ling’s trump cards!
As long as Tianxin Technology Company remained firmly in his grasp, he would always have what it takes to challenge those Western financial powers.
This was true hard power!
"Chen Lin, continue to ramp up the public opinion online," Ye Ling instructed.
Before, he might have just let the online narrative run its course and waited for Fruit Group’s stock price to plummet to a low point.
But now...
With two massive financial powers like the Moore Consortium and the Dupont Consortium in the game, Ye Ling had to make a move.
Otherwise, with the immense financial might of those two consortiums, they might actually be able to temporarily prop up Fruit Group’s stock price.
The influence of online public opinion on the stock market is generally swift, but also fleeting.
Ye Ling had to press his advantage as quickly as possible and utterly crush Fruit Group’s stock price.
"Understood, President Ye." Chen Lin nodded and got back to work.
Celestial Dragon Investment Company and Shengding Group had now linked their information systems. This meant Celestial Dragon Investment Company could leverage the online media channels controlled by Shengding Group.
This was very important.
Ye Ling had actually considered this point when he first took over Shengding Group.
Some people might not understand the utility of controlling these media channels. To give an example, go ahead and search online—can you find any information on the CEOs of major internet tech companies like Penguin?
You absolutely won’t find anything!
But then look at Brother Daqiang. He gets arrested on a trip abroad, and the next day, the news is all over the web...
They’re all people who make it onto the wealth rankings, so why is the treatment so different?
It’s because Brother Daqiang doesn’t control those online media channels.
His company might be a giant in the e-commerce space, but at the end of the day, it’s just an e-commerce platform. It’s not like the Penguin Empire, which has its hands in countless other fields.
You can find Penguin’s footprint basically everywhere you look.
Ye Ling didn’t want to become another Brother Daqiang!
That was why, from the moment he took over Shengding Group, he had started trying to build Shengding Group’s own exclusive network of media channels.
Even back then, he had a premonition that he, too, would one day stand at the top of the pyramid. But he had no desire to be the center of everyone’s attention.
Brother Ling’s goal in life was clear. He wanted to be the powerhouse pulling the strings from behind the scenes, not the one standing in the spotlight.

Online, a deluge of articles reviewing the Tianxin-1 chip were published. The buzz across the entire internet refused to die down; even foreign websites were flooded with all sorts of articles on the topic.
