Chapter 1766
1766 The Black and White Truth
Shen Yuanbao was indeed an iron-blooded man who had dominated the battlefield for decades.
Even though he had been severely injured and had lost an arm, they could not conceal his aura as a peerless expert.
In the past few days, while Meng Chao had been running around to destroy the Blood Alliance, Shen Yuanbao had not been idle.
He held on to the fearless spirit of not leaving the line of fire even though he was seriously injured and personally prepared a PowerPoint presentation.
!!
He described in detail the broad prospects and rich profits from Universe Corporation and Superstar Company’s joint development of Picturesque Orchid Lake to all Dragon City investors.
With his strong writing power, solid data, rigorous analysis, surging passion, and amazing imagination, Shen Yuanbao irrefutably pointed out to all investors that the peaceful development of Picturesque Orchid Lake would bring more than two trillion in contract value. Led by Universe Corporation and Superstar Company, it would generate more than five hundred percent profit growth and at least five hundred thousand new jobs to the Dragon City’s consortiums in the next three to five years.
At the same time, Shen Yuanbao also very considerately split the pie into the hands of each small- and medium-sized investor.
He pointed out that even small- and medium-sized investors, commonly known as individual investors with a unit account that had less than ¥500,000 could obtain stable, long-term, and high dividends from the grand blueprint of developing Picturesque Orchid Lake. It was definitely not a dream to realize wealth appreciation and even wealth freedom!
Shen Yuanbao had been able to go from the former captain of a mine protection team to one of the two big mining giants in Dragon City. Of course, he was not a simple-minded person.
One could say that his nemesis Lu Zhongqi had relied on his professionalism and good relations with people in the crystal circle to build his huge business empire.
Therefore, in addition to his iron fists, Shen Yuanbao got better at stirring the ambition of investors and partners with his burning passion, finally competing with Lu Zhongqi.
Even if there were a lot of questionable and idealistic points in his PowerPoint…
It was more than enough to ignite the dreams of wealth and freedom among the tens of millions of Dragon City citizens.
People always believed in what they wanted to believe.
If they could make a fortune while lying down comfortably, who would be willing to leave their home and fight a “colonization war,” where life and death were uncertain?
At the end of this PowerPoint, Shen Yuanbao specifically attached a list of possible economic losses that the Dragon City civilization and the Turan civilization might suffer if they were to go to war. On top of that, he showed how much this loss would be divided among every small- and medium-sized investor, namely the individual investors.
Shen Yuanbao pointed out that even if the Turan civilization’s military strength and war potential were not as exaggerated as what Meng Chao had described and were only half or even 30%, this war, which was originally thought to be an armed outing could still become long and drawn-out.
Any so-called “war bonus” would only be paid after the war was won.
Before victory, every day the war dragged on, the people would have to tighten their belts for another day.
If the war continued for three years or even longer, it would be a disaster for all the individual investors of the nine mega corporations.
This conclusion deeply shocked all the individual investors and even most of the middle-level backbones who held the big nine’s shares.
They were not convinced by Shen Yuanbao’s empty words.
However, they had no choice but to believe in his prophecy, or perhaps curse.
As a result, the will of all the Dragon City citizens became increasingly united with Meng Chao and Shen Yuanbao.
…
At the same time, in the VIP parking lot of Dragon City Stadium in New Binjiang City…
The atmosphere there was as cold as it was warm outside.
The mobile office, where Yun Feidian was especially cold. It had been turned into a freezer for storing the rare organs of monsters, and the temperature was close to absolute zero.
Yun Feidian still had his legs on the stool and his fingers crossed in front of his chest. He was enjoying Meng Chao’s performance.
However, from his slightly quivering eyes and his stiff, statue-like facial muscles, it was easy to see the raging waves in his heart.
“These b*stards!”
After a long time, Yun Feidian rolled his eyes and let out a breath as if he was mumbling to himself.
The “b*stards” he was referring to were not Meng Chao and Shen Yuanbao.
Instead, they were the helmsmen of the other seven mega corporations.
Yun Feidian was aware that the other seven mega corporations would definitely react to such a big event.
The members of the Blood Alliance who had been planted in the seven mega corporations all sent back news that the “old men” had all changed their schedules at the last minute and left in a hurry with their trusted subordinates.
The seven old fogeys must have gathered together to discuss countermeasures and huddle together for warmth.
As the head of Thundercloud Technology, Yun Feidian did not receive an invitation. He did not even hear anything about it.
This was enough to show that they had abandoned him.
“We-We still have a chance, right?”
The panicked faces of the Blood Alliance’s higher-ups appeared on the communication screen. They looked at Yun Feidian like drowning men staring at the last straw. “You said that Meng Chao and the others don’t have any direct evidence, so they can’t catch us!”
Yun Feidian closed his eyes.
He took a deep, deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that he had taken off an invisible heavy armor. His muscles were all loose. He was more relaxed, but he had also lost the will to fight.
“I’ve lost.”
Yun Feidian stared at Meng Chao on the screen. There was jealousy, hatred, and even a hint of admiration in his eyes that he could not hide. ‘Meng Chao, ignoring you was my biggest mistake, but before you showed up, how could I have avoided this mistake?’
“President?”
“What?” The Blood Alliance’s leadership was greatly shocked. “What-What do you mean?”
“Didn’t I just say it? Why do you not understand?”
Yun Feidian sighed. “In this world, the truth is not important. The evidence is not important. Justice is not important. Right and wrong, none of them matter.
“The important thing is whether you can use benefits to tie most people to your chariot.
“If you can’t, you’ll be a lone, reckless man who goes against the trend, and a lunatic who tries to challenge the norm. Even if you have evidence, know the truth, and insist on justice, it will be meaningless. You will only be suspected, hated, and opposed by most people.
“On the other hand, you are a hero who does justice for heaven, an emissary who defends peace, and a hero who annihilates evil even if you don’t have direct evidence. Even if the truth in your mouth is only your speculation, and even if your justice isn’t 100% as good as it seems, it doesn’t matter. Our kind-hearted people will not care about such details. As long as you can make everyone’s wallets full, or as long as everyone believes that you can make their wallets full, who do you call the bad guy? Anyone can be the bad guy!
“I’ve only gradually understood this principle now that I’m thirty.
“I didn’t expect Meng Chao to be so clear-headed at such a young age!”
