Chapter 455 Financing Channels
The atmosphere in Lin Chuyue's office was so oppressive it felt like it had frozen in time.
Jiang Ke stood solemnly at the table: "President Lin, the situation is not optimistic. Li Hao's offer for the acquisition price is 15% higher than the market price, and many retail shareholders are already tempted."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes and tapped her fingertips lightly on the table.
A 15% premium is already an extremely attractive price.
Most retail shareholders are profit-driven; in their eyes, whoever bids the highest wins. Even if Lin Chuyue is the current controller of the company, they may not necessarily side with her.
"How many of the retail investors we can contact are willing to take sides?" she asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Ke gritted her teeth and said, "Less than 5%."
Too little.
Lin Chuyue's heart sank. Li Hao had already surpassed 35%, and with the shares he had secretly acquired, he was not far from 40%. If he were to control more than 45% of the shares, the company's fortunes would be completely reversed!
She absolutely cannot let this happen!
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath and calmly said, "Immediately notify the finance department to mobilize working capital, and we will also start the acquisition."
Jiang Ke's expression changed slightly: "But if we continue to raise the price, the company's cash flow will be in trouble..."
"We have to take the gamble," Lin Chuyue said firmly.
The battle of capital is a game of strategy; whoever backs down first loses!

The opponent's counterattack
Meanwhile, Li Hao was in his office, coldly staring at the data on his computer screen.
"Lin Chuyue has started buying back shares," his secretary reported in a low voice.
Li Hao sneered, "They're quite resilient."
“But… I’m afraid she doesn’t have enough liquid funds,” the secretary said hesitantly. “Most of her funds are invested in projects; if she wants to acquire shares on a large scale, I’m afraid…”
Li Hao tapped the table, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Since she insists on putting on a brave face, then let her break down."
His eyes darkened: "Contact the banks immediately and impose financing restrictions on the Lin Group!"
The secretary paused for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise: "You mean...?"
"Make the banks tighten their lending to the Lin Group," Li Hao sneered. "So they have no money to use!"
The secretary gasped.
Once the cash flow is disrupted, the Lin Group will not only be unable to continue acquiring shares, but its normal operations will also be affected!
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow!
The secretary immediately went to carry it out, while Li Hao leaned back in his chair, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Lin Chuyue, how much longer can you hold on?
?
Financing crisis, funding shortage!
A few hours later, Jiang Ke rushed into the office, her face ashen.
"Mr. Lin, something terrible has happened!"
Lin Chuyue looked up, her brows furrowed slightly: "What happened?"
Jiang Ke's face was grim, and her voice was urgent: "Our application for bank financing has been rejected! Not only that, but we've also been asked to prepay part of the company's existing loans!"
Lin Chuyue's expression finally changed.
Li Hao actually resorted to financial means, directly targeting her from the financial chain!
Her fingers slowly tightened, her gaze icy.
"How much needs to be repaid in advance?" she asked calmly.
Jiang Ke gritted her teeth and said, "In the short term, the amount that needs to be paid is around 5 million."
5 million is not a small amount.
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Contact other banks immediately to see if there's any possibility of obtaining a short-term loan," she said in a deep voice.
Jiang Ke's expression was complicated as she hesitated and said, "I've already contacted them... all the banks' attitudes are ambiguous, and they're clearly unwilling to get involved."
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned completely cold.
Li Hao has already extended his reach into the financial sector, blocking her financing channels!
This is a true capital strangulation!

Li Zhanchuan's intervention
Surrounded by danger, Lin Chuyue had no choice but to try every possible way to save herself.
She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, then picked up her phone and dialed a number.
The call connected quickly, and a deep, cold voice came from the other end of the line—
"What, you missed me?"
Lin Chuyue paused for a moment, then said calmly, "President Li, I might need your help."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Li Zhanchuan's deep laughter: "Oh? I'd like to hear how you plan to get me to help you?"
Lin Chuyue knew that Li Zhanchuan never did business at a loss.
She took a deep breath and got straight to the point: "I hope Li's Capital can get involved and stop Li Hao's acquisition."
Li Zhanchuan didn't agree immediately, but asked lazily, "Then... what will I get?"
Lin Chuyue had anticipated his question and answered directly: "Equity cooperation."
Li Zhanchuan chuckled, his tone tinged with amusement: "Lin Chuyue, you're the first woman who dares to use her own company to negotiate a partnership."
Lin Chuyue said in a deep voice, "For me, there is no way out."
Li Zhanchuan paused slightly, then said calmly, "Alright, I agree."
His voice carried an undeniable power: "But I want at least 15% of the shares."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat. 15% meant that Li's Capital would become the second largest shareholder!
But she had no choice.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Deal."
?
The capital war has escalated, and the situation has reversed!
A few days later, a bombshell announcement suddenly broke in the stock market—
Li Capital has officially entered the fray, making a major acquisition of shares in the Lin Group!
The news sent shockwaves through the entire market!
Li Hao was originally determined to win, but he never expected that Li Zhanchuan would interfere!
His face darkened, and he smashed the water glass on the table.
"Damn it! Lin Chuyue actually dragged Li Zhanchuan into this!"
His secretary was also horrified: "Li's Capital's capital pool is too huge, we simply can't compete with it... If they really want to acquire shares, we've basically lost this capital war!"
Li Hao's expression shifted between light and dark, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
Since using capital as a means of leverage isn't working, we'll have to resort to other methods...
He picked up the phone, his voice icy: "Contact them. I want something bad to happen to her."
A chilling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Understood."
