Resurrection Empire

Chapter 709 266: Corporate War_3

It seems that the profit margin of this operation is not high, but it's important to note that the capital he's leveraging now is unprecedentedly large, and there aren't many stocks left on the market for him to engage in heavy leverage trading in the short term.

He does want to use a large amount of capital for long-term investments, but unfortunately, his "life" isn't long enough.

Ren Zhong contemplated for a moment and decided not to hastily increase leverage recklessly. Instead, he selected seven major stocks, investing 50 billion in each, with a leverage ratio of only two times, treating it as a mere distraction.

He initially thought that life would pass uneventfully until the 138th day, but unexpectedly, early the next morning at six o'clock and five minutes, he received a sudden communication from the "old acquaintance" Ma Shu.

"Ren Zhong, don't say I didn't warn you. You'd better quickly integrate your scavenger combat forces."

"What do you mean?"

"The Tanggu Group is planning to initiate a special act and pilot an enterprise war mechanism first within the Yangsheng City jurisdiction. In three weeks, town-level resource recovery companies within Yangsheng City will no longer have restricted hunting areas. Different town-level resource recovery companies are allowed to attack each other, invade towns, and the high wall's automatic defense system will not be activated. As long as no citizen deaths occur, there will be no accountability. I got this tip last night, and I'm giving you a heads-up as a favor. You'd better prepare early."

Ren Zhong's grip tightened abruptly on his toothbrush, "Understood."

Ma Shu: "Alright, that's it. I'm hanging up."

Ren Zhong was extremely surprised.

This was something that hadn't happened in the previous timeline, and it was a significant, bone-shaking event.

Once again, he had changed the course of the historical torrent.

He suddenly recalled the words of Ying Hao when he left a week ago.

"A major upheaval in Source Star will begin next month. This is your opportunity, but it's also filled with risks."

He initially thought that the turmoil would come from Source Star Military Industry, but unexpectedly, it was the Tanggu Group.

As for what Ma Shu mentioned about "getting a tip in advance" and "selling a favor," it was quite nonsensical.

This was definitely under the directives of Tanggu Group's high-level executives, meant to notify him in advance.

Otherwise, the pilot wouldn't be chosen in Yangsheng City!

The Tanggu Group fully recognized his management approach and perceived the "poaching" risk from the Promotion Association and Purple Crystal Mining, so they wanted to offer him a tremendous advantage.

The Tanggu Group wanted him to unify Yangsheng City's Ruined Beast resource development territory beyond the original framework!

Ren Zhong could envision such a scenario.

This is war, a true war, where many people will die.

He suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

Did the scavengers from other towns do anything wrong?

No, they did nothing wrong.

Their only mistake was being registered in Yangsheng City, so they will inevitably be dragged into this war.

If Ren Zhong were the same as before, he might have felt guilty for it.

But now, there were two voices in his heart.

One was of pain and shock, while the other made his heart pound with excitement, telling him that this was the Tanggu Group delivering a massive piece of meat to his doorstep, and not eating it would be a crime.

Compared to stock trading, the resource recovery industry doesn't make much money, but its real significance lies not in profit but in influence and actual power.

This enterprise war is a godsend opportunity to expand his territory and radiate influence outward.

He must seize greater power, control more population and territory.

Controlling more town-level recovery companies will allow him to gather more scavengers under his command, enabling him to form his own army!

Without a strong army, the revolution is just an illusion.

For the greater ideal...

Ren Zhong suddenly profoundly understood the thoughts of soldiers in ancient times during military conflicts.

Soldiers have no enmity, but each serves their own master.

"I'm sorry, everyone. What I want to liberate is the people of the entire Source Star, and I have to show my fangs here first."

Ren Zhong so murmured in his heart.

But he immediately thought of a way to reduce casualties, which was to use the advantage of prior information during these three weeks to expand Starfire Town's armed force to the extreme, making other town-level resource recovery companies in Yangsheng City dread and hesitate.

Any dissenters would be utterly destroyed with thunderous force.

Then, just a handful of such examples would suffice to deter other town-level enterprises from thoughts of resistance.

Furthermore, Ren Zhong suspected that even without his interference, enterprise wars would inevitably happen, and Yangsheng City is just an actuator; the flames of war would cover the entire Source Star.

This likely isn't even Tanggu Group's intention but emanates from higher association levels.

In this incident, Tanggu Group, Mengdu Group, Source Star Military Industry, and the Promotion Association are all major backers behind the scenes!

Ying Hao intends to muddy the waters of the Source Star, facilitating his "crew" reshuffling plan.

Besides selling a large number of pharmaceuticals during the war, Mengdu Group can also take advantage of it to fish in troubled waters, continuously capturing scavengers originally residing in towns.

The Mengdu Group's hunting targets will suddenly double and become increasingly concentrated.

Who knows how many scavengers will be left on Source Star when the time comes?

Furthermore, once the war breaks out, Source Star Military Industry must also become the biggest beneficiary, quickly depleting its military stockpile.

Among other enterprises, Tianlong High-tech will suffer obvious losses, Deep Communication Group slightly less, while Purple Crystal Mining remains aloof, uninvolved.

Alson Group's main profit lies beyond finance in interstellar trade, so the impact won't be significant.

Locke Group and Bas Group will benefit slightly.

The ultimate purpose of the enterprise war is to reasonably and swiftly harvest a massive amount of scavenger brains and the wealth in their hands.

Most town-level resource recovery company strengths on Source Star are relatively matched.

Ren Zhong can envision that this war will likely not see results in the short term, continuing for twenty years wouldn't be surprising.

Upon considering this, his sense of oppression did not diminish, only his self-reproach lessened a bit.

If I don't kill, others surely will.

However, all is not yet entirely hopeless.

Tanggu Group gave an opportunity.

He and his Ren Group will be the biggest variables.

He has already taken a step ahead of most town-level resource recovery companies.

He's now financially robust and has elite troops.

He has every chance to take advantage of the situation to transform himself into a giant!

Ren Zhong's eyes slightly reddened.

No matter what, it's time to fight.

The cruelest slaughter, behind it lies a most helpless mercy.

Rinsing his mouth, he put down his toothbrush and paced back and forth in the bedroom for a long time until Ju Qingmeng came to call him for a meal.

Ju Qingmeng saw the bloodshot in his eyes and was startled, "What happened to you?"

Ren Zhong took deep breaths for a long while, finally calmed his emotions, and then said, word by word: "Qingmeng, I fear the coming period will be hard on you."

"Huh?"

"I want to arm all forty thousand scavengers in Starfire Town to the teeth. Also, I plan to recruit at least ten thousand scavengers from Chromium Carbon Town."

Ju Qingmeng was shocked, "That's not..."

Ren Zhong continued, "This is legal."

"Ah!"
