The Xu Family is one of the most wealthiest families in China. Consisting of elite geniuses and planners, they developed an Industrial Enterprise unparalleled to their predecessors. But even they fell from the clash backs of the Lin Family Household.
The Xu Family respects the Lin Family so much because they have been previously of royal origins. Where the Lin family went underground to secure power. The Xu family presented upfront their clandestine fate as a wealthy family.
Now, stuck between fate and glory, the Xu family once again must compete against all odds infavorable, in order to succeed in this new loop.
"Lin Laiyi, its you again?! It's been a long time, Hi, I am Xu Shangfei." - Xu Shangfei
"Hello Madam Xu." - Lin Laiyi
"Please, please, your royal princess. Just Xu is fine." - Xu Shangfei
The Xu family holdings doesn't involved depositories of financial assets. They invest in power and influence. For them, monetary power alone does not hold suit.
In business, money alone hold no advantage. It needs to be supplemented, wasted to support the aspirations and cultivation of something else like power and influence in order for it t grow.
Think of a simple scenario such as the foundation for power. Money is only one of its aspirations, some sort of a condition to ensure that it has energy. Other values involve thinking and planning, information, strategy on part, tactics on the other. The control of information has lead to much of its wealth. Wealth being, one with power and influence, one of health and beauty - one of magnificence.
They secure their foundations as one of the most respected people by eliminating their haters, going around and up their competitors by ensuring that good money is spent on good deals. They are people that uses propaganda to make a picture that when the public buys, causes no trouble. It is not that they are righteous, only that they are convincing people of thought and worth.
One of the things they invested on are "securities", everything to secure the foundations of their powers. Assets that are good, assets that are long term, and more so, assets that have exponential growth. But in truth, these assets needs to be protected as well, so the expansion of their securities lies at protecting and growing their assets. What other possibilities can there be other than the employment of an intelligence agency, a private intelligence agency to gather and support the Xu family information centers.
But it goes more than that, more than just intelligence. What use is intelligence when you do not have brawns. Companies like that of the Xu requires an army to feed in order for them not to get sabotage by forces like the government, enemy competitors, and foreign entities. That will prey and gobble up that wealth?
So basically, the more money you have, the more power you need to protect it. Then the more money you need to spend. But having your own private military means that you can do things, a normal military operation can do. Like perspective deals and operations worldwide that will give off some benefits that will make you grow in influence even further. Thus, the Xu Family is not just an enterprise, a conglomerate who is rich. They also have power and influence worldwide, people they can trust whenever it needed be. They are a Business Empire.
Throughout this time that happened - the Lin Family test. It was surmised, rather given off, that secret exists within the occult that are too hard to understand. Too misconstrued to not forget, and to evident to not believe.
It has been known that magic exists. The Xu then approached a Shaman, a white magician that when she used magic upon the Xu family house, a blessing with a talisman. The Xu family's wealth began to skyrocket.
It goes to show that hard work and wits are not the only thing present in wealth. There is also a form of magic into it. One to attract customers, one to make good the intentions of the boards, and others like that of manipulating the stock market or even the economy itself.
Thus is the life of the Xu family, thus is the case of the Xu family. Now, they as a powerful family have a new understanding, a new yearning. The yearning to seek out the masters of cultivations and the new aspects of the underground world. Where their new profound powers will grow out a new and where it will grow to new heights. This is the Xu family and with their help. Lin Laiyi may rule supreme in the future.
