Chapter 561 - Just a Paper Tiger (2)
Song Huifen couldn't help but smile hearing her daughter-in-law's opinion. In fact, she thought the same, but was wondering if her son would be able to do it on his own. Indeed, the Zion Inc., had been in the industry for more than a decade and they hadn't been direct on challenging Qing Tian Group head to head until now.
The empress dowager had managed to keep them at bay, not because she didn't know how to deal with them, but because Zion Inc hadn't given her a perfect reason to strike back. Although she must admit, the thought of having Zion Inc., devoured by Qing Tian Group had crossed her mind in the past.
Now, when she was out of the scene, Zion Inc. thought that they would be able to get a hand on Qing Tian Group after her son assumed the management position.
Perhaps they assumed Feng Tianyi wouldn't be able to keep up with pressure for too long. It was only natural that they would think this way as her son had been gone for years and was lacking experience to manage a company as big as Qing Tian Group.
Song Huifen cupped her chin and looked amusedly at her daughter-in-law. What Tang Moyu said was right. Feng Tianyi was in the perfect position to halt their attacks at once. If she was in her son's position, she would have done what Tang Moyu had in mind already.
Alas, she and her daughter-in-law might need to give her son a good push and advise him to not hesitate in retaliating. If Tianyi can manage to destroy Zion Inc. on his own, the rest of the companies who followed Zion Inc.'s lead would back out on their own. He only needed to remind everyone of what Qing Tian Group is capable of and why Feng Tianyi earned the title "The Devil" in the past.
"Destroy Zion Inc.? That's such a big word, Moyu. Are you sure it's that easy?" She probed, the smile still etched on her face……
"Mom, with Qing Tian Group's current assets and resources, how can Tianyi not be able to put a stop on their outrageousness? Their recent actions only means that they are looking down to my husband and his ability to run the company without Mom's guidance." Tang Moyu explained.
"You hear that, Tianyi? I don't know why you are still allowing this issue to drag on. Like Moyu said, you are in full control of the situation. Zion Inc. is just like a paper tiger trying to turn against a regal lion." Song Huifen told her son, then returned her attention to the empress. "So what do you suggest he should do, Moyu?"
Destroying Zion Inc. was the goal, but what did Tang Moyu have in mind to make this happen? After all, making a company get bankrupt and crumble on its own wasn't really that easy.
"Simple. Zion Inc. is buying out shares of Qing Tian Group, right? Then Tianyi should let them taste their own medicine." Tang Moyu picked up her own cup and took a sip from her tea. The warmth of the tea and the slight sweetness of honey almost made her sigh.
"You mean we should also counterattack by buying out their shares too? Wouldn't this mean we are declaring war against them?" Feng Tianyi asked.
"This won't be a war, Tianyi. This is a massacre." Song Huifen curled her lips. It won't be a war, since the other party was not strong enough to contend against the Qing Tian Group.
"Tianyi, a lion only loses when it loses his will to fight. A lion is still a lion even in its weakened state, but Qing Tian isn't weak. Those hyenas thought they found a perfect momentum to strike just because the sharp claws of the Qing Tian Group were momentarily hidden." The empress stared at her drink, pondering the other choices for her husband, but she couldn't think of anything that could counter the attacks at once, other than this.
She then turned her attention to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, are you good in gambling? Tianyi would be able to stop Zion Inc., but this also means that he would need to use billions just to counterattack."
Song Huifen hummed and rose a slender brow.
"Moyu, I was able to inherit the Qing Tian Group by making reckless decisions back then, but of course, I would dive head first into it without making sure that the victory will be mine. As for the amount Tianyi would need, you don't have to worry about that. Qing Tian Group has billions on its arsenal that Zion Inc. could never compete with."
Tang Moyu nodded, pleased to hear her mother-in-law's answer.
"Then that's it, Tianyi. Buy Zion Inc. shares twice the amount in the market. Remind everyone that Qing Tian Group is still at its prime. Just because Mom isn't around, doesn't mean the value of the company reduces in her absence." She explained.
It might be a blessing in disguise that the rumors about Song Huifen being in critical condition had made their enemies' presence known to everyone. Tang Moyu thought it was a pointless and idiotic move on their part, to pounce on the devil the moment they heard that Song Huifen was out of the scene.
"Let those idiots think that this is a poor attempt on your side to hide your incompetence over the matter." She added. "You are the devil after all. Shouldn't you make it known why you were called that? The devil doesn't play fair. You just need to lead them to their own destruction."
"Ah, I'm sure they will also take this as a challenge, Moyu. I think those idiots would compete with Tianyi and will raise the purchasing amount for buying Qing Tian's shares." Song Huifen commented.
Even though she was now recuperating at the moment, what Tang Moyu said made sense. The Qing Tian Group still had its glory on its own. Compared to Qing Tian Group's assets, the Zion Inc. was still lacking behind to threaten their position.
