Chapter 371: Chapter 189: Raising the Stakes (Chapter Order Adjusted) _2 Chapter 371: Chapter 189: Raising the Stakes (Chapter Order Adjusted) _2 Jin Xiaoming hesitated for a mont before saying, “It’s no problem to lead Yan Fei to raise the stakes, but we hardly have any money, and the three billion US dollars wagered for this final showdown was even arranged by Miss Choi Kimyin. If Yan Fei is willing to increase the bet when the ti cos, where will we get that much money to gamble against him? If we can’t produce the funds, won’t we lose even more face…”
Han Junxi smiled, then lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, “This showdown between Taekwondo and Kung Fu is a matter of national pride for South Korea; many important figures back ho are paying close attention to this event. You know, those big shots have lots of spare cash and would like to join in and bet. Everyone is very clear about your strength; you’re certainly going to win, so naturally, soone will co forward with the money needed to raise the stakes. Your task is to get Yan Fei to increase the bet.”
Only then did Jin Xiaoming realize that so many forces were behind this duel; otherwise, neither the Taekwondo Promotion Alliance of South Korea nor the backing behind Choi Kimyin would have been able to make such clever arrangents in France, causing Yan Fei and his group continuous mishaps from the mont they disembarked from the airplane, which resulted in them being travel-worn and forced to walk to the casino.
Jin Xiaoming asked, “If I’m to get Yan Fei to increase his bet, to what extent can we raise it on our side?”
Han Junxi said, “Right now, I have access to seven billion US dollars, so we can accept Yan Fei raising the bet to ten billion US dollars.”
Jin Xiaoming said, “But although Yan Fei is a Chinese tycoon with a global Weight Loss Cookies business, he hasn’t been wealthy for long, just a few months. He can’t possibly have that much money, can he?”
Han Junxi laughed and said, “It’s best if he doesn’t have the money; that way, you can force him to put the equity of Dream Technology up for the bet. Dream Technology is a goose that lays golden eggs; its equity is extrely valuable. It’s a pity Yan Fei doesn’t let anyone buy in; it’s truly regrettable. Usually, we can’t get even a point of Dream Technology’s equity, and now isn’t this the perfect opportunity?”
Only then did Jin Xiaoming understand that those big players from South Korea were actually eyeing the equity of Yan Fei’s Dream Technology, and skillfully using the opportunity of this duel to coerce Yan Fei into betting the equity of Dream Technology. If their plan succeeded, they would naturally be able to take Dream Technology into their own hands.
Jin Xiaoming patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I will certainly provoke Yan Fei with my words, making it hard for him to back down. He will definitely put up the equity of Dream Technology for our bet.”
Han Junxi smiled and said, “Jin Xiaoming, this task will be laborious for you. As long as you work hard, making Yan Fei put up the company’s equity for the bet, and then defeat Yan Fei, you’ll get 5% of all the proceeds after the match, so you must do your best!”
With the incentive of a financial gain, Jin Xiaoming beca much more eager, saying, “I’m no expert in other areas like you are, but when it cos to killing in a match, I’m the expert, and you’re not my match. Just wait and see how I kill Yan Fei in the ring!”
Han Junxi laughed joyfully, “That’s the spirit! When we make a fortune from this, we won’t need to take that woman Choi Kimyin seriously anymore. Maybe we’ll even take her under control, tear off her haughty facade, and turn her into our pet…”
The two in the room, as if imagining an exciting and arousing scene, started to snicker lecherously, and their talk grew crude and unclean.
It was only when he heard this that Yan Fei removed his ear from the wall and turned off his frighteningly powerful hearing. He had not expected that by randomly eavesdropping on the enemy’s secrets, he would uncover a conspiracy aid against himself. Moreover, the force wanting to co after him was from South Korea, and their goal was directly aid at his own Dream Technology.
Previously, Yan Fei had wanted Lu Pingping to launder the dirty money obtained from the Assassin Sect, and Lu Pingping had thought of using the occasion of this showdown for that purpose. Her plan was simple: provoke South Korean Taekwondo before the start of the match to infuriate the South Koreans as much as possible, and in their provoked state, tempt them to increase the bet. Then, Yan Fei would win the match, claiming all the bet money to launder the entire 11 billion US dollars in dirty money in one go. At that point, the 11 billion US dollars would be transferred to a dostic company’s account for the high-speed developnt of Dream Technology.
Just monts ago, Yan Fei had still been pondering how to achieve Lu Pingping’s goal, only to hear South Korea’s secret plot, discovering that their intention was exactly the sa as his, aiming to gain greater benefit by staking everything they had. This way, he need not even lift a finger to fulfill Lu Pingping’s goal. Moreover, as he was being pressured by the South Koreans, outsiders would be none the wiser to any flaws.
Upon realizing the South Koreans’ all-or-nothing attitude towards this showdown, Yan Fei beca sowhat alard. These South Koreans were committed because they believed Jin Xiaoming was bound to win the showdown, giving them confidence to bet everything they had. Yan Fei had decided to see it through for the sa reason—he believed he would win the duel. But there could only be one victor, aning one side was bound to face total defeat, their assets turned to water. Yan Fei then began to reflect, questioning whether he was being too confident this ti, and whether he ought to be more cautious in the future when facing similar situations, lest failure leave him no chance for redemption…
