But why did he do this?

Everyone couldn't figure it out even if they thought about it. The three companies that joined forces with Polo could only wait and wait silently.

Early in the morning of the third day, new news came out. The front page of the Tang Dynasty Daily published an exclusive interview, and General Cheng Zhijie revealed his thoughts.

Why did he close the horse farm? It has nothing to do with anything. The recent rumors are all rumors. The real reason is that His Majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo, but he lacks good horses. After learning about this, he closed the horse farm, kept the horses, and prepared to present them to the court at any time for the purpose of the Eastern Expedition.

Below the exclusive interview, there is another commentary article. The earth praised General Cheng's deep understanding of justice and taking his family and country as his responsibility. He is worthy of being a founding veteran and a pillar of the country.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was stunned.

What a joke, Cheng Yaojin is very wise? Could that guy who is profit-oriented is not the surname Cheng?

Except for some people who don’t know the truth, those who know Cheng Yaojin a little bit sneer at this news. But it doesn’t matter, Li Mu’s goal has been achieved.

On that day, United Polo's stock price fell in response to the news. At the close, it had fallen by 30%.

Cheng Yaojin was filled with joy and came to the Marquis' Mansion. Before the people came in, laughter had already come in: "Nephew, you are so amazing. Cheng Qian had just returned from the trading center. According to him, the shopkeeper who stayed in the exchange of Li's family in Zhaojun had turned black."

Before Li Mu could speak, he sat in front of Li Mu, staring at him with his eyes straight: "But nephew, isn't your trick a bit cruel? Do I really want to give all the three thousand good horses to His Majesty?" Cheng Yaojin said the more he felt the more painful he felt, and his black face was thrusting.

"The situation is small, just a few thousand horses. If you can't bear to leave your children, you can't trap a wolf. How can you get a reward without giving? Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses."

"Then I believe you." Cheng Yaojin was waiting for this sentence. He didn't plan to ask Li Mu anymore. He knew that asking was a waste of time. Li Mu could not tell him. Thinking from the perspective of others, he also felt that Li Mu could not say it. This is wisdom worth tens of thousands of gold, how can he easily deal with others?

If Li Mu heard him, he would definitely be yelling to be wronged. He didn't want to explain to Cheng Yaojin, but he just thought he was slapped. There was no other reason at all. Li Mu curled his lips. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was not going to leave, he nodded to Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi turned around and arranged for the table.

When the maid looked at the tea, Cheng Yaojin picked it up and blew it. He drank the tea in the tea cup, wiped his mouth and said, "I ran over panting all the way, I am indeed a little thirsty... Nephew, you are surprised. I haven't figured out why their stock prices have dropped?"

"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned and looked at Cheng Yaojin: "Don't you understand?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "I don't understand, what's wrong?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said, "Uncle Cheng, isn't this principle very obvious? The news I released can be said to be a bird that kills two birds with one stone. This bird is a powerful force. The war is about to be fought. The country needs war horses. How can good horses be used for fun? The Cheng family is very clear about the righteousness and took the initiative to give up the horse farm business that can make money every day. If they join forces with polo, what kind of reputation will it be? They are all a thousand-year-old family, and everyone needs shame. No matter how much money this transaction makes, they will never do it anymore. At most, they will maintain the current level and will never dare to touch the meat on your plate."

"Gao!" Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "This is called sucking his teeth and swallowing it into his stomach. Nephew, Gao Ming! Where is the second bird? What is it?"

"The second bird is telling the market that the court is going to fight."

Cheng Yaojin was confused and said, "Why is this?"

Li Mu is really mentally shattering. How did his head grow? Does it say that his muscles are dead?

"There is a lot of money in the market. Now the court is about to fight. The horses in the horse farm are used for entertainment, so they must go against the trend. In other words, the business of the horse farm will not be prosperous. When the war is about to be fought, the amount of food, iron, cloth, medicinal materials and other materials will be very large. These things become popular, and the stock prices related to them will rise. Think about it, if you are a shareholder who invested in United Polo, what would you do at this time?"

"I..." Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I will pull out the money from United Polo and invest in the popular ones you mentioned-" Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized and said: "So that's it, I understand, nephew, Gao, it's really Gao!"

"But..." Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands and said, "You haven't said that, why don't I suffer any loss? Now it seems that my thousands of horses are losing to death."

"You are really..." Li Mu was so annoyed by him that he forced himself to be impatient and said, "Uncle Cheng, why can't you see through it? Your Majesty is going to fight, and your Majesty has his majesty's membership. Even if you pretend to be stupid, you can't keep these horses. Since you can't keep them, why not take the initiative to offer them a good reputation and a favor from His Majesty?"

Cheng Yaojin thought about it, and Li Mu continued, "It seems that you have lost thousands of horses now, but Your Majesty owe you a favor... Think about it, Your Majesty will definitely express something, right? After this battle, the benefits will definitely be indispensable. However, I suggest you take this opportunity to apply to Your Majesty to follow the army-"

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Do you have to say that I am with the army? I am the General of the Right Martial Guard, and Your Majesty will definitely take me with you!"

"I mean your sons!" Li Mu said angrily: "Can you take you, can you bring your sons who have no military merits? Let me tell you, Your Majesty has been planning this battle for a long time and has a killer weapon. Goguryeo will definitely be defeated. Such a good opportunity, isn't it a fool to not make a military merit? Uncle Cheng, you have six sons! Except for the eldest son in Dingxiang, the other five sons have not yet been settled?"

"This..." Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up. Yes, military merit! Three thousand horses are counted on five sons, each son is 600. Six hundred horses are exchanged for military merit. Although this transaction is a bit expensive, it is worth it! After all, horses can be bought again, but this military merit has passed this village and there is no store!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if my business cannot be done, they cannot be done either. Just treat it as using this industry to find a future for the children. I, Old Cheng, accept it!"

Cheng Yaojin stood up and was about to leave. In his opinion, the matter had come to an end. Although he was very unwilling to give up, it seemed that this was the best solution at present. It was also a sip of anger for himself. He originally wanted to leave this industry to guarantee his sons. Now it was replaced by military merit, and the purpose was the same.

"You're leaving now?" Li Mu looked up at Cheng Yaojin and said, "I haven't finished saying this. I don't want it anymore?"

"Hmm?" Cheng Yaojin turned around suddenly, grabbed Li Mu's hand, and said, "Why, can the horse farm come back? The horses are gone, why are you back?"

"There will always be a time to finish the battle. When the battle is over, the horse racing can still be opened, and the horse racing can still be held. And because the battle has just been completed, and the day you have done it will be popular. Then you will take advantage of the opportunity to go public and make less money and come back in a blink of an eye?"

"It makes sense!" Cheng Yaojin became happy again, but suddenly he frowned again and said, "But, that joint polo..."

"It really has to be fed to the mouth before it can be eaten..." Li Mu murmured and said, "The Zheng family in Xingyang, who is in charge of polo, is the Zheng family in Xingyang. I have investigated. In order to speed up the expansion and absorb funds from the stock market, they have already conducted three rounds of financing, and their shares are constantly thin. Now, the Zheng family in Xingyang, the largest shareholder, holds only 37% of the shares, while the Li family in Zhaojun, holds only 19% of the shares, and the Li family in Longxi is only 13%, which means that there are now 31% of the loose stocks on the market."

"United Polo's stock price will continue to fall. It will definitely fall below the issue price within three days. At that time, those who hold stocks are eager to make a quick move. At that time, you will find some people and take over these stocks in batches at different times. If nothing unexpected happens, you can receive at least more than 20% of the share."

"With more than 20% of the stocks, the Cheng family has become the major shareholder of United Polo. What else can you and me? United Polo makes money, and your Cheng family will follow you and make money. How good is it that you don't have to worry about it?"

Li Muyouyou said again: "If you have the ability, take advantage of the situation and persuade the Li family of Zhaojun or Li family of Longxi to sell some stocks to you. Maybe you can receive more shares than Zheng family of Xingyang. If so, you will be the only one who can join forces with Polo... This trick is called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron and secretly saving Chen Cang's plan--" Before Li Mu finished speaking, he was raised by the excited Cheng Yaojin and hurriedly called for mercy.

Cheng Yaojin put Li Mu down, and before he could retreat, he said excitedly: "Nephew, you are really a god from heaven and earth. My old Cheng is grateful to you for your whole life!"

"Oh, a little thing-" Li Mu yawned and said, "Uncle Cheng was leaving just now, that's right, I won't drink with you anymore. I drank a little bit yesterday, and my head hurts a little." Li Mu said to Li Chongyi, "Big, send it to me..." He knew that Cheng Yaojin had many things to arrange, and everyone was so familiar, so it would be fine if he didn't leave any food.

"Nephew, don't bother me. There is one last thing to do, I have to ask you!"

Li Mutou waved his hand without looking back: "Borrow money and don't have to talk!"

Cheng Yaojin's next sentence was blocked. When he wanted to say it, Li Mu was gone. He had to shake his head embarrassedly and go home under the gaze of Li Chongyi.

The Cheng family is in Luoyang and has long purchased a mansion, but they just don’t live there forever.

...

At this time, the Zheng family's mansion was filled with sorrow. The person in charge of the Zheng family was still the great scholar Zheng Jing. The person in charge of the Li family in Zhaojun was Li Mu's old acquaintance, who bought the patent right of his four-wheeled carriage.

The head of the Li family in Longxi did not appear at all. Apart from the time he signed the contract, this person never showed up again. This time, United Polo encountered a crisis and could not find anyone to look for him, which made Zheng Jing and Li froze their mouths.

"Uncle Zheng, now the market is selling United Polo's stocks. The rumors in the market... I'm afraid that it will continue to plummet in the future. Under this situation, many shareholders are already panicked and want to sell."

"...At that time, I'm afraid the stocks will depreciate further, this is not the most critical. A large number of stocks appearing on the market is very likely to be secretly acquired. At that time, if outsiders hold more stocks than we have, wouldn't they have been in vain for the past year and a half? Such a huge industry is about to give up people?"

He began to get a little anxious.

"Let's find a way to buy back the stocks on the market and get a table." Before United Polo went public, Zheng Jing had read the stock market trading manual several times. He knew how to deal with this situation. He only saw him say with a cold expression: "The money needed... let's pay according to the proportion. It's certain to lose money, but I believe that sooner or later, as long as we work together."

Paying money to buy back stocks is indeed a solution to the problem. But Li Ying didn't want to do this. As a mature shopkeeper, he had a different idea from Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing was an elder of the Zheng family, and the weight of his speech was not comparable to that of a shopkeeper like Li Ying. For example, if Zheng Jing loses money, he will pay for it. No one will say what he is, and where is his identity?

But Zheng Jing is not good. If he loses money, he will have to be subject to family law. This time he cooperates with the Zheng family. If something goes wrong, he will be in trouble. Now it is certain to lose money. All he can do is to minimize the amount of money, so that even if he receives punishment, it will be relatively smaller.

Thinking of this, his eyes rolled and he whispered: "There is a great sell-off on the market. Now even if you take out money to buy it back... it will be useless. Moreover, this is a transaction between our three companies. There is no one in the Li family in Longxi. If we pay the money, what should he do if he doesn't recognize it?"

Zheng Jing was a little annoyed and said, "Then what should you do!"

Li Ying waited for this sentence. Hearing the words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Zheng, don't worry, there is no way at this time. If you want to keep the industry and achieve absolute control. Now the Zheng family has 37% of the members, and ours has 19% of them, which is 56% or more, more than half of them... This transaction is led by the Zheng family, and we are all supporting the industry. It is better... We pay the price according to the issue price, and the Zheng family paid the money to acquire our Li family's shares. In this way, we no longer have to worry about the sluts coveting it!"

Zheng Jing sneered: "What a great nephew, this has made me take a big advantage in Xingyang Zheng's family. Nicholas, I have to thank you very much."

Li Ying could hear the good words, but now he could only pretend to be stupid, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "Uncle, don't be polite, this is all right. A gentleman does not take away the beauty of others..."
