"Are you saying?"

Gu Bai didn't answer him but casually said, "You can also take this opportunity to buy some shares. You might not make a fortune, but you can still earn a few million as pocket money."

Regarding the issue with Hongye Building Materials, it's against market rules no matter how you look at it, and there's no need to spell it out clearly. As for big shots like Wang Jianling and Xu Jiayin, they've seen all sorts of underhanded dealings in their long experience in business.

Furthermore, when returning to Shanghai from the Capital City a few days ago, Gu Bai unintentionally mentioned it. Although the three moguls did not express clearly that they would participate, their attitude was explicit: as long as Gu Bai makes a move, the follow-up issues are his to worry about.

Businessmen never need to articulate things clearly; a simple attitude is sufficient.

Although Gu Bai spoke obscurely, Principal Wang understood the implication in Gu Bai's words and nodded slightly over the phone, signaling that he would mention this to Wang Jianling later.

The call between the two ended there, and Principal Wang immediately dialed Wang Jianling's number.

After succinctly relaying Gu Bai's words to Wang Jianling, Principal Wang received his warning.

"You shouldn't get involved in this matter, and don't be tempted by that tiny profit. The noses of the Securities Regulatory Commission people are very keen, and once they bite, they don't let go easily."

"Dad, are you saying that Gu Bai plans to target Hongye Building Materials in the stock market?"

Wang Jianling chuckled lightly over the phone: "Haven't you noticed that the inspection departments in Shanghai have already started targeting Black Swan Group these days?

Gu Bai is not someone who takes a hit without reacting. This Hongye Building Materials is likely not going to survive this wave."

"Hongye Building Materials is still a company with a market value of tens of billions, isn't Gu Bai afraid of getting caught in the fire by doing this?"

"Caught in the fire? Do you think with Gu Bai's current size, Hongye Building Materials could burn him? Besides, this guy is much more cunning than you think. He's not only trying to pull us at Wanda into the game, but he's also contacted Hengda and Wankao. Can a single fire burn all four of us?"

"Then you guys..."

"You are wondering why we're so easily roped in by him, right?"

Wang Jianling noticed Principal Wang didn't speak and laughed as he instructed: "That's the difference between you and him. Why did your Panda TV turn into a mess before? Wasn't it because you overestimated your own abilities,

This young man is different. He knows very well his current capital. If he continues to be reckless for much longer, someone might target him. But during this time, he holds an absolute advantage, which is why he is so confident in cooperating with us. Even if things turn south, with the backing of our three real estate giants, he can easily extricate himself.

And do you think without enough benefits, he could persuade anyone? Gu Bai's cleverness is something you can't learn, and the person standing behind him must be an extraordinary character."

Principal Wang: "..."

For the first time, he felt that Gu Bai, with whom he usually ate, drank, and played, was hiding so deeply.

Wang Jianling: "Alright, that's it for now. I have a meeting later. Just watch this guy's subsequent moves honestly."

With that, Wang Jianling hung up the phone.

Leaving Principal Wang alone staring blankly at the phone.

In a few months, Gu Bai had already left him so far behind, officially stepping up to the high-level table where his father sat.

Meanwhile, at Black Swan Group's headquarters, Gu Bai also opened the stock market, closely watching the share price of Hongye Building Materials.

As the price of Hongye Building Materials continued to rise, more and more retail investors entered the market, and within less than an hour, the stock price climbed another two points.

If this trend continued, it's very likely that the stock price of Hongye Building Materials could hit the 10% daily limit before the market closed.

While Gu Bai was watching the stock market, Yi Jiahui walked in directly from outside the office.

Gu Bai calmly closed the page and frowned, looking at Yi Jiahui.

Seeing Gu Bai's expression, Yi Jiahui also realized that her action of entering without knocking had displeased Gu Bai, but she didn't explain. She directly said to Gu Bai, "Chairman Gu, Leader Wang has come to inspect our company, and quite a few media are already outside."

Yi Jiahui didn't know the relationship between Wang Rengang and Gu Bai. With the company under inspection these days, internally, there was a bit of a nervous atmosphere. The leader's visit for inspection made Yi Jiahui nervous all of a sudden.

"Leader Wang?"

Gu Bai murmured in confusion.

He then stood up and asked, "Where's Leader Wang?"

"Already at the company entrance."

Normally, a leader's inspection would be announced in advance, but he had never received any notice about Wang Rengang's visit before. With doubt, Gu Bai walked out of the office towards the company entrance.

No matter what Wang Rengang was planning, Gu Bai didn't care.

Because he knew very well that Wang Rengang would never target Black Swan Group, as his nomination as one of the top 10 national young leaders was submitted by Wang Rengang.

Two minutes later, Gu Bai finally met Wang Rengang, who was dressed in a black suit.

Gu Bai quickly displayed a surprised and honored expression, saying, "Leader Wang, how could you visit our group without giving us a heads up? We were totally unprepared."

Looking at the smooth-talking Gu Bai, Wang Rengang smiled and said, "I happened to be not busy today, and I wanted to see what the company's environment of a young leader looks like, so it's considered an impromptu visit. Chairman Gu, please don't mind."

Gu Bai responded that he wouldn't dare.

The two of them kept the conversation very formal and serious, as if they were meeting for the first time, showing no trace of the familiar uncle-nephew relationship they had at the Shanghai Theatre Academy entrance.

As their right hands clasped together, the media accompanying them captured this moment with their cameras.

"Director Yi!"

Hearing Gu Bai's call, Yi Jiahui quickly stepped forward in front of Gu Bai.

"Prepare the best tea in the reception room, and guide our media friends, showing them our group's most authentic face to the public!"

"Understood."

Following Gu Bai's instructions, Yi Jiahui quickly assigned the task to members of the board office behind her.

"Leader Wang, this way, please."

Wang Rengang nodded and walked into the company under Gu Bai's lead.

While chatting and laughing with Wang Rengang, Gu Bai introduced various departments of the company to him, while the media, under the company's security team's arrangement, followed from a distance.

Although the news of Leader Wang's inspection was sudden, the administration department prepared immediately, and under special instructions, the hundreds of employees of the group showed their best spirit, while a group of journalists faithfully recorded Black Swan Group's excellent side.

Half an hour later, Gu Bai had shown Wang Rengang every corner of the company.

"Leader Wang, why don't we take a break in the lounge for a while?"

Hearing Gu Bai's inquiry, Wang Rengang nodded slightly and then turned to the journalists behind him, asking, "Dear journalist friends, what do you think of Black Swan Group's internal environment?"

The journalists were caught off guard by the question, suddenly looking at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Rengang chuckled and then turned to his secretary beside him, saying, "Record this down. I think Black Swan Group's internal environment is worth learning from for other companies in Shanghai. Make it into a promotional booklet for internal study at other companies."

Secretary Li: "Understood."

"Chairman Gu, previously I wasn't so sure about evaluating Black Swan Group as an excellent enterprise in Shanghai, mainly because the company is still young. However, after a thorough visit, my recognition of your group has increased significantly!

The assessment of an outstanding enterprise must not be just a formality! Young companies should also be recognized!"

This statement seemed to say nothing.

But it seemed to say everything.

Wang Rengang's public endorsement of Black Swan Group at the event was equivalent to officially declaring that the title of excellent enterprise in Shanghai was secured by Black Swan Group!

In an instant, the photographers' cameras flashed crazily.

This was definitely explosive news.

"Leader Wang, you're too kind. We are just an ordinary private enterprise and don't deserve such high praise."

After a few pleasantries, Gu Bai invited Wang Rengang to the reception room with a smile and instructed the board office members, "Take all the media friends to the public lounge and let them have a good break."

All these journalists had come along with Leader Wang, and out of respect for him, proper hospitality was obligatory.

After speaking, Gu Bai also entered the reception room, while Yi Jiahui and others stayed outside.

The hints from just now were very clear to Gu Bai, and he believed that Wang Rengang must have something he wanted to say to him in private.
