"Yes, Uncle!" A group of people entered the room once again!
"Uncle! I brought you some tea leaves. I figured my big brother and the others would like it too. You probably don't have much left!"
"What tea leaves? We haven't tried any!" Xu Yaoyang looked confused.
"Never mind! Let's get down to business! Yunyan, come sit!" Xu Daqiang took the tea leaves and other items from Shang Yunyan's hands and pulled him into the living room to sit down. He continued, "Kid! I saw your name on the invitation list for the auction on Friday. But I must remind you, even though that old man from the Jiang family has returned all the compensation to Ai Hongcheng, this matter won't end just because the money was returned. The other five big families have all been affected by this, and the fact that the impact continues shows that there are still people pushing this from behind. Now that you've acquired Jiang's Source Investment, Ai Hongcheng knows about it. We can't predict what he thinks of your actions, but we must be cautious. If the Northern Chamber of Commerce targets you, your future business development will face difficulties!"
"Oh, so that's what it is! No worries, Uncle Xu. I've never feared anyone, especially someone who doesn't know me or my background. If they act recklessly against me, they'll only end up dead! Besides, I've met Ai Hongcheng before, and I don't think he'll come after me!"
"Still, you need to be careful. Everyone from the five big families will be attending the auction on Friday, and a lot of small to medium enterprises will be offloading. The prices might be really low, so consider investing in some profitable industries!"
"Uncle! I'm not interested in those businesses at all. Honestly, I'm too busy. I just acquired a cruise ship to explore the tourism industry! And all my other companies hold patents, which might shock the market once they go public!"
Xu Daqiang didn't say much more upon hearing Shang Yunyan's words. After all, he didn't know much about him, and Shang Yunyan's companies weren't well known yet. However, Xu Daqiang did catch that Shang Yunyan claimed to have a trump card and background, hinting that if Ai Hongcheng targeted him, it would lead to Ai Hongcheng's downfall!
Such strong confidence! Who exactly is this Shang Yunyan?
"Well, that's good to hear, but I'm worried that you might be targeted just as you're starting out! The business world is like a battlefield; you must be cautious!"
"Yes! I'll remember Uncle's words! What about those two earlier?"
"Oh! You got to see something amusing! That's my younger brother. He has been useless since childhood and was kicked out by my father for causing trouble. He suddenly shows up now when the Xu family is in crisis, trying to take advantage. If it weren't for your funding, the Xu family might have faced a serious issue this time! So Uncle is very grateful to you!"
"You're too polite, Uncle! Once this period passes, the Xu family will be fine! If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. It's getting late!"
"Okay! Be safe!"
After leaving the Xu family, Shang Yunyan returned home and saw that it was already past ten o'clock!
He took a shower, went to bed, and recharged his energy for work!
The next morning, Shang Yunyan contacted Shang Jingchen.
"Young Master! You called for me?"
"Jingchen, there's something I want to discuss with you. Can Wan Tong handle the situation at Yunyan Tianxing alone?"
"She can! Young Master, don't worry. The four secretaries are quite capable. It's not a problem for us to handle three companies at the same time! If you have any instructions, just send them my way!"
"Great! I just acquired the world's largest cruise ship, and I want to turn it into a tourism project and start a travel company! What do you think?"
"That sounds good, but a travel company can't just have one cruise ship project! If you want to focus on cruises, we could outsource it or run it separately. The travel company can hire staff, and we provide the services!"
"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Outsource the cruise tourism project and focus on developing various cruise-related programs! But it must be legal! Just let me know how much it will cost!"
"Understood! Young Master!"
"This is the captain's number; that's my ship. Contact him before you go. I'll give him a heads up, the ship is currently at the Imperial Capital Dock A00001!"
"Got it, Young Master!"
After Shang Jingchen left, Shang Yunyan looked at the Divine Currency in the system space. Since lending out 19.8 billion, there was still 17.8 billion left. Shang Yunyan guessed the auction was about to start, and he would need a lot of money in the future, so he directly used the wish function in the system!
"Please use it freely!"
"System, can I directly ask for money with this wish function? Can I ask for any amount?"
"Hmph, greedy human! If you want a trillion, can I give it to you? There isn't that much money on Earth combined! The most I can give is ten trillion!"
"Then it's settled! I want ten trillion!" Shang Yunyan shouted excitedly on the universal platform!
That's ten trillion in cash, not shares in a public company! With this much money, he could keep his company afloat for many years even if it kept losing money!
