CHAPTER 426: NO FURTHER REQUIRED RESPONSE. --- **"417: THE LIU FAMILY CAN’T ENDURE ANYMORE"**

So overall, Lin Mu’s Flying Dragon Group and Su Jinzhi’s Celestial One Pavilion always have one side that damages the Liu Conglomerate while benefiting their partner companies when they face off, resulting in relatively fewer losses. However, Liu Conglomerate is jumping directly into a fire pit!

Dealing with two companies requires more energy and more money, which means double the financial investment. That is to say, Eastern Flying Dragon needs a hundred million, while Liu’s Company needs two hundred million. Lin Mu has already prepared four hundred million in liquid funds, so Liu Real Estate has to obediently come up with eight hundred million to fill the hole. Although Liu Real Estate Company has a strong background, it has its limits. Even if Liu Zhenyun has money, Lin Mu doesn’t believe he would casually waste four hundred million, because the wealthier someone is, the more frugal they are, cherishing money more than ordinary people. They know how hard it is to come by. When Liu Zhenyun realizes that Lin Mu is unbeatable, he certainly won’t continue to throw money into it!

Sure enough, after a month of struggle, Liu Shengyi, the general manager of Liu’s Company in Wancheng District, was feeling uncomfortable. Over this month, not only did the company fail to make a normal profit, but it also lost a hundred million. If this continues, it won’t be long before the company collapses!

In great discomfort, Liu Shengyi called Liu Zhenyun, "Boss, we’ve been fighting for a month, and Celestial One Pavilion is still operating normally without any signs of collapsing! Should we end it here?"

Liu Zhenyun also felt something was wrong. The opponent was no longer a small company but a big consortium with substantial financial power. If it were an ordinary small company, it would have collapsed under such pressure long ago. Liu Conglomerate has already put in a hundred million, and the opponent is throwing money alongside, without feeling any pain, clearly showing they have significant strength!

"Investigate for me; has Su Jinzhi allied with a wealthy tycoon?" Liu Zhenyun commanded.

Liu Shengyi had already conducted investigations in this regard, and the results were obvious. The boss of the subsidiary Flying Dragon Real Estate under Celestial One Pavilion is the new generation of entrepreneur Lin Mu!

"Boss, I’ve investigated it. Su Jinzhi might have received sponsorship from Lin Mu of Flying Dragon Group. The so-called subsidiary Flying Dragon is also Lin Mu’s enterprise!" Liu Shengyi reported.

After hearing this, Liu Zhenyun pondered briefly. Indeed, it was quite similar to what he had guessed. Su Jinzhi had found a backing, otherwise, with her strength, she certainly couldn’t have lasted a month under such pressure. According to Liu Conglomerate’s information department’s research on Su Jinzhi, it would be impossible for her to establish a subsidiary company with her approach to business. Liu Zhenyun sighed inwardly at Flying Dragon Group’s skill; the opponent is not playing by the usual rules, disrupting his plans!

Since he already knew the opponent’s strategies, Liu Zhenyun naturally couldn’t play by the original rules anymore. Even if he succeeded in collapsing Celestial One Pavilion in the end, he would almost be finished himself. After just one month, Liu Zhenyun was already struggling to cope, given the multi-billion investment. It’s painful for anyone, like losing a piece of flesh.

"Shengyi, no need to engage in a price war with Celestial One Pavilion now; revert to the original market price. Continuing like this is disadvantageous to us!" Liu Zhenyun stated.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shengyi also secretly sighed in relief. If Liu Zhenyun didn’t change strategy, the real estate sector in Wancheng might be thrown into chaos. If the real estate industry becomes chaotic, Liu’s Company, as an external entity, is likely to be resisted by local real estate companies, potentially being squeezed out of Wancheng!

"Got it, boss. I’ll immediately convene a meeting to discuss adjusting the prices back!" Liu Shengyi nodded in agreement.

Actually, Liu’s Company Group has been recklessly lowering prices in Wancheng, engaging in a price war, which has long disrupted the rules of the real estate industry there, causing a vicious chain reaction. But given Liu’s overwhelming power, everyone is helpless. Several real estate companies have seen their operations plummet, though they dare not openly express dissatisfaction. They’re uneasy but don’t dare say anything, fearing incurring Liu’s wrath.

They can only silently hope for Celestial One Pavilion to defeat Liu’s Company quickly. Thus, the real estate companies of all sizes in Wancheng have developed deep resentment towards Liu’s Company, just lacking the opportunity. If given a chance to spark a conflict and someone to lead, Liu Real Estate Company would quickly be driven out of Wancheng!

Liu Shengyi received Liu Zhenyun’s approval and immediately convened a manager-level meeting to cease the price war with Celestial One Pavilion Real Estate and restore the original market prices!

Liu Real Estate formulated a strategy, and Lin Mu, of course, developed a corresponding strategy. Continuing to lower prices would also result in little profit for himself, and it would also provoke resentment from peers, so Lin Mu also restored construction prices to the general market level!

Lin Mu’s tactic was to counter whatever move the opponent played. If Liu Zhenyun no longer engaged in a price war with Celestial One Pavilion, then to target Celestial One Pavilion, it would undoubtedly mean focusing on urban planning. Based on Liu Zhenyun’s relationships with city leaders, he believed Celestial One Pavilion wouldn’t land any lucrative projects!

In urban planning, there was currently a profitable opportunity as the East District’s Situong Town was slated for redevelopment, a government project funded by national allocations, making it very lucrative!

Upon learning this, Liu Zhenyun planned to act first, hence calling Director Huang Wenhai of the Urban Development Bureau!

"Haha, how are you lately, Director Huang?" Liu Zhenyun greeted cheerfully over the phone.

"Boss Liu, I’m doing well, and I hope the same for you? We haven’t met in quite some time, right?" Huang Wenhai cordially replied over the phone.

"Ah, I’ve been feeling pressured lately," Liu Zhenyun sighed over the phone.

"Oh? How could there be anything holding back the great Boss Liu? Tell me, if there’s anything I can help with, just let me know!" Huang Wenhai seemed to grasp the purpose of Liu Zhenyun’s call, directly asking.

Liu Zhenyun chuckled into the phone, "Ha, hearing that from you, Director Huang, eases most of my worries. This is the situation: you’ve heard about my issues with Celestial One Pavilion lately, right? There’s a redevelopment project for a town area coming up, and I want to secure that project. I’d like to trouble Director Huang to help facilitate that!"

"The redevelopment of Situong Town? Haha, since you’ve brought it up, it’s feasible, no problem!" Huang Wenhai chuckled, indicating that what might be difficult for others was just a matter of words for him. As the governing official, he could decide who gets the contract.

Hearing Huang Wenhai agree so swiftly over the phone, Liu Zhenyun hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you in advance, Director Huang. I have some premium Longjing tea and a few gifts; I’ll have Shengyi send them over when you have time!"
