Chapter 752: A Gamble
Translator: Lordbluefire
The Karl family is a large family, but it has always been managed by Karl alone.
Shen Ruojing and others targeted the Karl family only after they investigated Karl’s background.
The desire to seize Jing Zhen’s patent was not solely Karl’s action, but a decision made by their family. Therefore, even if they changed the successor of the Karl family, it would be futile. The only way was to completely crush the Karl family.
Shen Ruojing managed the account of Country A’s royal family, while Chu Cichen managed the account of the Loong Corporation.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in front of the computer, attempting to liquidate all the funds of the Karl family!
Even if it meant both sides suffering losses, they were determined to bankrupt the Karl family completely!
Shen Ruojing looked at the finances of Country A’s royal family. The information was flowing like numbers, and she frowned, casting a glance at Chu Cichen.
Tonight was their final battle.
After this battle, either the Karl family would die, or they would perish!
The funds of the A royal family and the Loong Corporation were continuously pouring in. When they reached a certain point, the two finally stopped.
At this point, if the Karl family continued to invest money and compete against them, the Karl family would go bankrupt!
But if they didn’t compete, then all the money the Karl family had previously invested would go down the drain.
Shen Ruojing narrowed her peach blossom eyes and said, “I wonder if Karl knows there’s a saying in China called ‘cut your losses in time’.”
Chu Cichen responded, “King has been helping him all along, which is why we stopped in time. Otherwise, we would have suffered severe losses. This time, it depends on King’s decision.”
Shen Ruojing looked at him and asked, “We only gave King twenty hours. Are you sure he will change his mind?”
Chu Cichen smirked, “Let’s wait and see.”
At that moment, Karl’s phone also rang. Chu Cichen raised an eyebrow at Shen Ruojing, then answered the call. The first thing Karl said was, “Are you guys crazy?! Spending money like this just to trap my own money! You’re all lunatics!”
Chu Cichen’s gaze deepened, “Mr. Karl, you forced our hand.”
Karl took a deep breath, “Now the cash flow of our three families is basically gone. But do you think I won’t leverage? We still have properties. I don’t believe you have the guts to bring out your entire fortune to compete with me.”
Chu Cichen smiled faintly, “Then let’s wait and see.”
Karl sneered, “Hmph, I know, even if 1 leverage and owe the bank money, 1 still can’t compare to you. But don’t forget, there’s Mr. King. He will stand by my side!”
Leaving those words behind, Karl hung up the phone directly.
Country Y.
Karl, who hung up the phone, looked anxious. The entire cash flow of the conglomerate had been invested. If they continued to compete, he would need to take out low-pressure loans from the bank…
But did he really have to put all the fixed assets such as the houses and land under the Karl family’s name at stake?
If he stopped now, he would still have the strength to salvage the situation.
While Karl was hesitating and pondering, his phone vibrated, and King’s message came in, “Ye Xie is so bold? 1 will handle him.”
Seeing those four words at the end, Karl immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
During the previous confrontation with the two families, Karl had always been confident because of King’s support. However, after the incident in the palace, he was actually unsure of Ye Xie’s identity.
But now, upon seeing King’s words, Karl was certain that Ye Xie must be under King’s command.
Karl immediately sent another message to King, “Mr. King, have you seen that the Country A’s royal family and the Loong Corporation are launching a strong attack against us?”
King’s reply came quickly, “I’ve seen it. Keep fighting. When the time is right, 1 will intervene.”
This statement made Karl feel relieved. He let out a sigh of relief. After putting down his phone, he directly instructed his subordinates, “Contact the major banks and mortgage our assets. Then, we will leverage and fight back!”
If they didn’t leverage, their assets would probably be inferior to those of the other two families.
Although Mr. King was there to back them up, Karl knew that he had to demonstrate his own courage first for King to take him seriously!
In China.
“Should we add more funds?” Shen Ruojing asked Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen replied, “We’ve reached this point, so we can only add more.”
Shen Ruojing took a deep breath, “If we add more, we will be putting the foundations of both our organizations at risk. If we lose, we may not be able to recover for the next twenty years.”
Chu Cichen lowered his gaze and said, “We may not necessarily lose. If we really lose, then Jingjing shouldn’t mind living a tough life with me, right?”
Shen Ruojing chuckled.
This guy, he would always remain calm no matter the situation.
However… she trusted his judgment.
“Add more!”
Shen Ruojing gave the order, and the funds of the Country A’s royal family and the Loong Corporation continued to pour in.
Karl also desperately poured money in, which made Shen Ruojing’s temples throb. She couldn’t help but glance at Chu Cichen and ask, “Is he really so confident? Could we have made the wrong judgment?”
Chu Cichen’s gaze remained firm, “Trust me.”
Both sides continued to invest money until the end. Shen Ruojing calculated that the Karl family’s money should have been exhausted. If Karl could win this gamble, then the money they had just invested would belong to the Karl family.
This was truly a gamble
