After hearing Meng Kexin’s explanation, the interns all shook their heads and sighed, their faces revealing disappointment and sighs.

“It’s really surprising that such a big plate like the Xie Corporation can be lost like this.”

“Hmph, what do you know? I’ve been observing the movements of the Xie Corporation’s shares during this period of time. It’s indeed as Sister Kexin said. The Xie Corporation is suffering huge losses now. It’s all thanks to the big size of Xie Corporation. Otherwise, it would have long collapsed.”

“This is nothing. I saw the news on the Internet yesterday that a fortune teller had divined for the Xie Corporation. According to the hexagram, the First Madam of the Xie Corporation and Ninth Master are incompatible. The First Madam is born to jinx her husband. From the looks of it, this master’s divination is really accurate!”

Ignoring the discussions of the crowd, Feng Qing said to Meng Kexin, “Team Leader Meng, according to the news I received, after the Xie Corporation’s shares fell drastically, the board of directors of the Chenghai aluminum mine also feels that this acquisition plan might fail. However, they’re in a hurry to sell the Chenghai aluminum mine now. I think this acquisition can continue. Moreover, it’s very likely that they’ll negotiate the buyout price to the lowest.”

However, before Meng Kexin could say anything, Lu Yingying interrupted, “Feng Qing, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what Team Leader Meng said just now? The Xie Corporation’s shares have already fallen to the limit a few times. Now, we don’t have the funds to do any acquisitions. Even if the Chenghai aluminum mine is willing to lower the price by half, the Xie Corporation can’t take out this sum of money now. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing retorted, “The Xie Corporation has a deep foundation, and the Xie Corporation’s energy company has trillions of capital. Even if the funds are very tight now, we can still fork out two billion, right?”

Lu Yingying smiled disdainfully. “If the Xie Corporation’s energy company can take out this money to do the acquisition, before they can buy back the Chenghai aluminum mine, the Xie Corporation’s energy company will probably have to close down and liquidate.”

Meng Kexin turned to look at Sun Bin, the finance professor. After the two of them looked at each other, Sun Bin said, “I support the Xie Corporation’s decision to delay the acquisition of the Chenghai aluminum mine indefinitely because no one knows if the Xie Corporation’s energy shares will still last until the sun rises tomorrow. To be honest, the Xie Corporation has suffered a very serious loss this time, so much so that more than a thousand industries under it are already being liquidated. If this situation continues, I’m afraid it will take a long time for the Xie Corporation to regain its former glory.”

At this point, Professor Sun Bin stopped. Actually, there was something he didn’t say, and that was that the losses of the Xie Corporation in front of him every day were calculated in the tens of billions. This was also the Xie Corporation. If it was any other company, they would have probably declared bankruptcy long ago.

However, just as everyone was silent, Feng Qing said, “Professor Sun, I don’t agree with you.”

As soon as these words were out, everyone gasped. Everyone looked at Feng Qing as if they were looking at an idiot. How dare she deny the opinion of Sun Bin, the senior expert in the Finance Department? Did Feng Qing think too highly of herself?

Feng Qing’s expression was straight. She knew that these people would have such a reaction, so she said, “Professor Sun, perhaps you have an accurate judgment of the current form of the Xie Corporation, but there’s a variable that you’ve neglected, so I don’t agree with you.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Bin was not angry. Instead, he asked in confusion, “What variable?!”

Feng Qing replied seriously, “Professor Sun, you might have underestimated a key person, the one on the 95th floor.”

Sun Bin immediately smiled. “Student Feng Qing, so the variable you’re talking about is Ninth Master. I have to admit Ninth Master’s strength. I also know that he’s the number one and most powerful figure in the entire Xia country’s financial world. He’s even called the God of Xia country’s financial department. However, Ninth Master is Ninth Master, a person with flesh and blood. Not to mention that the Xie Corporation is facing a powerful competitor, but its shares and performance have fallen drastically. Nearly a thousand companies under it have liquidated and gone bankrupt. Such a situation is almost life and death, so Ninth Master, this so-called variable, no longer plays a decisive role.”

Feng Qing asked, “What if he does it?”

Sun Bin smiled again. “If Ninth Master really turns the tide and pulls the Xie Corporation back from the edge of the cliff, he will be the true god of the entire financial world!”

On the 95th floor of Di Hui Building.

Xie Jiuhan, who was typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped. A dialog box popped up on the screen in front of him…
