The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Su Wanwan opened her eyes and found that Huo Yanshen was already sitting beside the bed, staring at his phone with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanwan rubbed her eyes and asked softly.

Huo Yanshen came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "I just received news that the new energy company we are interested in suddenly announced that it has accepted a large investment."

Su Wanwan suddenly woke up: "Who is it?"

"Chenxi Investment." There was a hint of anger in Huo Yanshen's voice.

This name made Su Wanwan's heart tighten. Chenxi Investment was the suspicious shareholder they had discovered before. It seemed that the opponent's actions were faster than they expected.

"We have to speed up," Su Wanwan sat up with a determined look, "Since they have chosen new energy, we will focus on biotechnology."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "I have asked Assistant Lin to arrange a meeting with the biotech company. We will go there in person this afternoon."

Su Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Good idea. With close contact, we can better evaluate the potential of this company."

The two of them quickly washed up and drove to the company. On the way, Su Wanwan kept looking through the information of the biotech company.

"Yan Shen, look at this," she pointed to a report on the tablet, "This company has made a major breakthrough in gene editing technology, but due to a lack of funds, many projects are at a standstill."

Huo Yanshen thought thoughtfully: "It is indeed a good opportunity. If we can intervene in time, we can not only get considerable returns, but also gain an advantage in the field of biotechnology."

After arriving at the company, the two immediately convened the core team and began to discuss M&A strategies.

"Everyone," Huo Yanshen said straight to the point, "We may be facing a major M&A opportunity. But before that, I need your help to investigate some things."

The team members pricked up their ears. Huo Yanshen continued, "First, I need to know all the information about Chenxi Investment, including the actual controller behind it. Second, pay close attention to all the trends in the new energy industry, especially those small but potential companies. Third, make a comprehensive analysis of the biotechnology industry. I need to know every opportunity that may appear in the next five years."

Su Wanwan added: "Also, I need a detailed report on the application prospects of gene editing technology in the medical field. Especially the economic benefits and social impact it may bring."

The team members quickly wrote down the tasks and then went their separate ways. The office suddenly became busy, and everyone had a sense of urgency, as if they were about to face a major battle.

At noon, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face changed slightly: "It's Lin Zhiqiang."

Su Wanwan immediately became alert: "Why is he calling at this time?"

Huo Yanshen signaled her to keep quiet, then answered the phone: "Uncle Lin, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Huo," Lin Zhiqiang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I heard that you are very interested in new energy and biotechnology recently? Why, do you want to make a transition?"

Huo Yanshen was startled, but he remained calm on the surface: "Uncle Lin is really well-informed. But this is just some preliminary research, and there is no specific plan yet."

"Really?" Lin Zhiqiang said with a playful tone, "That's great. I have a few good projects here. Are you interested in listening?"

Huo Yanshen exchanged glances with Su Wanwan, and then said, "Of course, Uncle Lin's vision is always accurate. How about this, I will treat Uncle Lin to a meal tomorrow and we can have a good chat?"

"Okay, it's settled." Lin Zhiqiang said and hung up the phone.

As soon as the call ended, Su Wanwan couldn't wait to ask, "What on earth does he want to do?"

Huo Yan took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, but he definitely has bad intentions. I suspect he might be trying to test our background."

Su Wanwan frowned and thought: "Could it be that the 'shadow' instructed him to do this?"

"It's very likely," Huo Yanshen nodded, "but this also gives us an opportunity. Through Lin Zhiqiang, we may be able to find out the other party's true intentions."

At this moment, Assistant Lin hurried into the office: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Su, the biotechnology company has already made arrangements. We can meet at 3 pm."

Su Wanwan immediately stood up and said, "Great, let's go now."

An hour later, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan arrived at the biotechnology park in the suburbs. What came into view was an avant-garde building with a sign at the door that read "Gene Future" in large letters.

The company's CEO came out to greet us personally. He was a man in his fifties with silver hair and a wise look in his eyes.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Su, welcome to Gene Future," the CEO said enthusiastically, "I'm Zhang Ming, and I'm glad to meet you."

After the greetings, Zhang Ming led them to visit the company's laboratory. The advanced equipment and busy researchers all demonstrated the strength and potential of the company.

“This is our latest gene editing technology,” Zhang Ming said, pointing to a complex instrument. “It can precisely modify specific gene sequences and is expected to revolutionize the treatment of certain genetic diseases.”

Su Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Has this technology entered the clinical trial stage?"

Zhang Ming showed a bitter smile on his face: "In theory we are ready, but..."

"But there is a lack of financial support, right?" Huo Yanshen took over the conversation.

Zhang Ming nodded: "That's right. The development of this technology and subsequent clinical trials require huge investments. We are now looking for suitable investors."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances, and both saw excitement in each other's eyes. This was exactly the opportunity they were looking for.

After the visit, the three had an in-depth conversation in the conference room. Zhang Ming gave a detailed introduction to the company's development plan and future vision, while Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan asked a series of sharp questions involving technical details, market prospects and potential risks.

Halfway through the conversation, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. She looked down and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number:

"Smart girl, I've been watching every move you make. Don't think you've found the treasure, this game has just begun. - Shadow"

Su Wanwan's heart sank, but she quickly adjusted her mood and continued to focus on the conversation.

After three hours, the preliminary talks finally ended, with both sides saying they would discuss the details further.

On the way back in the car, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan were both immersed in thought.

"Yan Shen, what do you think?" Su Wanwan broke the silence.

Huo Yan took a deep breath and said, "This company does have great potential. If we can successfully invest in it, we will not only get a considerable return, but also gain an advantage in the field of biotechnology."

Su Wanwan nodded: "I think so too. But..." She hesitated for a moment, and told Huo Yanshen about the text message.

Huo Yanshen's expression became serious: "It seems that our every move is under the surveillance of the other party. Wanwan, we must be more careful."

Su Wanwan held her husband's hand tightly: "No matter what happens, we must face it together. Yan Shen, I have a feeling that this business war will be the biggest challenge in our lives."
