Chapter 1705: Intelligence Network

And these two times he was forced to act because he couldn’t find out through his own channels.

Ever since Xu Ke learned about this channel, he has been trying to figure out how exactly this channel operates.

But despite scouring all available documents and utilizing every relationship he could, he still couldn’t uncover any clues.

This means either the channel is controlled by many people, or it simply has no actual controllers.

The channel itself might just be a platform, just a medium, only existing due to market demand.

After all, its existence is reasonable; since it’s been around for so long, there must be a valid reason.

There’s an interesting feature of this channel: every day at 12 noon, it updates on how many transactions occurred the previous day.

Of course, people can only see the number of transactions, not the specific details or buyer identities, as these are confidential.

No matter who you are or what method you use, you can’t find out this information.

Xu Ke once worried about his information being leaked here, but later realized he was overthinking it.

Not only is the protection on this channel advanced, but everyone operates anonymously, never knowing each other’s identities.

You can simply open any computer, log in with any IP address, and create a new identity.

On this platform, you can freely express yourself without concern for your real-world identity.

Naturally, where there’s such a platform, there must be a variety of transactions happening.

Recently, Xu Ke noticed many people selling information about various company executives on this platform.

He glanced briefly and didn’t find any information on his own company, so he felt slightly relieved.

Originally, he intended to gather detailed information on the next company via this website but ultimately decided against it.

He asked his subordinates to investigate instead, as he felt it was more reliable since updates are time-sensitive.

When his subordinates investigate, the information they obtain is surely the latest.

After reviewing Red Star Group’s data, Xu Ke became highly curious about its founder, Xu Hongxing.

Initially, the records show Xu Hongxing was just a destitute youth.

He used to work at a domestic services company, where sheer luck eventually helped him reach middle management.

After two years in this position, he left with some followers to establish Red Star Group.

Unexpectedly, after its founding, the company’s business quickly boomed and soon held a leading position in the domestic services industry.

Moreover, two years ago, it successfully listed in the US, becoming the first domestic service company to do so in the nation.

Xu Ke believes Red Star Group’s progression to its current status cannot be mere coincidence.

The fact that Xu Hongxing can maintain leadership in Red Star Group proves he has some genuine capabilities.

Although Xu Ke doesn’t know much about the domestic services industry, he knows competition is fierce even in niche fields.

For Red Star Group to maintain its leading position over the years, it must have its own unique strategies.

As the saying goes, in every trade, there’s an expert. Xu Ke never underestimates any industry, even showing respect to roadside street sweepers.

The information shows that about ten years ago, Red Star Group faced an internal shareholder embezzlement crisis.

This embezzlement severely affected their finances and nearly led the company to the brink of collapse.

But during this dire period, Mr. Xu reached out to help them.

To a desperate Xu Hongxing, Mr. Xu’s assistance was a lifeline in times of need.

After aiding Red Star Group through the crisis, Mr. Xu acquired 35% of their company shares.

Xu Hongxing was deeply satisfied with this arrangement as it resurrected his company, leading to increased clientele under Mr. Xu’s initial help.

Furthermore, Xu Ke found that Red Star Group last year transferred some money to Mr. Xu’s personal account.

Judging by the amount, it was likely Mr. Xu’s personal share dividend at the year’s end.

Since Red Star Group maintains contact with Mr. Xu to this day, Xu Ke believes the company should be in good standing.

Moreover, Xu Ke has strategically mapped out an expansive plan to limitlessly grow Xu Group’s footprint domestically.

Put simply, regardless of the industry, Xu Ke wants Xu Group to have a presence.

He aims for Xu Group to dominate every industry, and to personally construct his own business empire.

Xu Ke is undeniably ambitious, with vast ambitions at that.

Anyone paying attention will have noticed Xu Ke’s ambition isn’t a recent development.

Even before taking over Xu Group, Xu Ke imagined himself one day running a company at the pinnacle of the world.

But since assuming control of Xu Group, his perspective has gradually shifted.

Now near global prominence, Xu Group will expand its reach to various industries.

Xu Ke has said before, he’s not a benevolent person; he’s a pure businessman.

Despite being willing to help others in some respects, when his interests are on the line, he won’t hesitate to deal a lethal blow to adversaries.

Reality dictates that if you don’t eliminate threats, they’ll seize opportunities to push you into the abyss.

Xu Ke is eager to contact Red Star Group to uncover whatever secrets they hold within.

Though not currently planning to enter domestic services, that doesn’t mean he won’t venture into other sectors.

After all, rules in certain industries intersect, like domestic services and advertising.

Though essentially unrelated, they share substantial similarities in certain aspects.

Domestic services must please clients with outstanding work, just as advertising must satisfy clients, incorporating their feedback for favorable adjustments.

Both require effective communication with clients, which Xu Ke recognized, prompting him to learn and adapt from strong practices.

Embracing diversity fosters greatness. Xu Ke staunchly believes this mantra, continually pursuing knowledge.
