Chapter 1431 Give Me a Heart Attack One Day

At first, Long Tengfei thought that Phantom Dragon Funds was targeting his Long Industries. But on closer inspection, it was doing the same thing to other businesses, both new and long-established ones. R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only

It was aggressively acquiring as many shares as it could buy. His Long Industries wasn't anything special when viewed from this perspective.

Besides, the acquisition of shares itself wasn't a bad thing. It even helped in increasing the value of the shares due to the attention. The total value of Long Industries as a company had increased a lot since Phantom Dragon Funds started targeting its shares. In a way, Long Tengfei should be thankful for it.

However, his intuition as a businessman honed from decades of experience couldn't help but sound an alarm at the too-aggressive acquisition of shares of his company.

He suspected that there might be something in play behind the scenes that he hadn't figured out yet. He needed more information about the other party's real intention as to why they wanted to acquire so many of his company's shares.

Long Industries was his life and blood.

There was even a point in his life when he thought it was more important than his children.

Of course, he was already starting to mend his ways, but Long Industries was still an important part of his life and identity. He couldn't allow anyone to blindside him and take his company away without a fight.

This was why he wanted to meet the people behind Phantom Dragon Funds in person. It was only now that the other party accepted his invitation for a meeting.

He was initially displeased. He thought that they were too cocky for their own good. Typical behavior of ambitious youngsters just setting foot in the industry.

Now, however, his displeasure turned into anticipation after hearing that the owner was finally willing to show his face to others. Long Tengfei couldn't wait to meet the mysterious eccentric owner behind Phantom Dragon Funds

They arrived in front of a closed door.

The assistant knocked on the door before opening it.

Finally, he asked, "You're the owner of Phantom Dragon Funds?" he asked.

"Correct." Iris didn't deny it.

Long Tengfei sighed. He glanced at his long-time assistant Cai Guang who still hadn't recovered from his stunned state. Then he didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. He felt exhausted all of a sudden.

"Tea," he requested. "No, I want coffee instead."

He needed something stronger than tea to face this cunning daughter of his. Looking around the elegant yet imposing conference room, the fact that his daughter threw him this kind of curveball was starting to sink in. Indeed, she was a genius.

Someone average couldn't possibly set up a new company and grow it at the speed of light like this. Only a genius like her could create a diabolical company and target her own father's company, wanting to swallow it, while at the same time doing the same to other companies to make it look less conspicuous.

So he had been right to suspect his youngest daughter before.

She indeed owned Phantom Dragon Funds, and yet he retracted this suspicion after falsely believing that his supposedly reliable son-in-law wouldn't allow Iris to run a company investing an enormous amount of money so recklessly like this.

It turned out that his son-in-law, Jin Liwei, loved his wife too much that he would allow her to do anything she wanted despite the possible disastrous consequences.

Long Tengfei once again sighed.

He felt a dull ache in his head. When the CEO himself served him and Cai Guang a cup of black coffee each, he would've downed it in one go if it wasn't so scalding hot.

The other staff already left. Only Iris, the CEO, Long Tengfei and Cai Guang were left in the conference room.

"Xiulan...." Long Tengfei began saying, but couldn't formulate a coherent sentence to tell her daughter yet.

"Father—no, I should call you President Long Tengfei since we're in an official business setting," Iris said. "I know what you want to ask me. I won't waste any more time and keep you guessing."
