Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What? Brother Bei?” Lan Zhengguo, Yao Jianming, and everyone else were dumbstruck.
Focker Rothschild addressed this twenty-year-old Chinese kid as his big brother!
It was absolutely mind-blowing!
“Fock… Master Focker… Are you kidding?”
Lan Zhengguo could not believe his ears. The last time Chen Xiaobei had requested to be seated on the same level as Lan Zhengguo, everyone else had thought that it was the world’s biggest joke. He found it hard to believe that Chen Xiaobei had become Focker’s big brother!
“The contract is in front of you. How could this be a joke?” Focker smiled and said, “This is all Bro Bei’s doing. He wants to protect the Lan family and he wants to eliminate the Yaps! As long as you sign the contract, all of your family’s problems will be solved!”
Lan Zhengguo gulped, bombarded by a rush of emotions. He remembered how he had looked down on Chen Xiaobei, and was against Xiaobei relations.h.i.+p with his daughter.
Who knew that the saying, never look down on someone that is young as they might outdo themselves in the future, had just come true! Today, Lan Zhengguo could only look up to Chen Xiaobei. He even felt like he was no match for him.
“What a heroic young man!”
Elder Qin, who was nicknamed Stone Buddha, trembled in Chen Xiaobei presence as he looked at him with awe. This young man had once told him that he only had to ask if he needed anything. Elder Qin had merely smiled, thinking why would he ever need the help of a weak young man? He had never thought that this young man would save the Lan Family at their most desperate time of need! He had saved them from eventual doom!
The Lans were saved!
In Elder Qin’s heart, this young man was worthy of the t.i.tle ‘Hero’!
“He… He is from Green Vine University. The Chen Xiaobei who was secretly dating Mengcheng?”
“My goodness… how did he become Master Focker’s big brother?”
“Luckily, our Mengcheng has a good eye. She managed to lock her eyes on this dragon when he was in his most difficult time!”
“Yeah! Now that Chen Xiaobei has become someone influential. Mengcheng is very blessed and our family also benefits from that…”
The Lan Family sighed internally, looking at Chen Xiaobei like he was their beloved son-in-law. They were absolutely pleased with him.
“Uncle Lan, go ahead and sign the contract.” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Chen Xiaobei did not even mention the things that happened in the past. It was to protect Lan Zhengguo’s status in the family.
“I can’t sign these contracts…” Lan Zhengguo said, “You’ve already neutralized danger for us. We are very grateful for that! You bought these equity contracts with money. How could I accept this?”
“Uncle Lan, I don’t know anything about doing business and I don’t have time to manage such a large organization. Just take it as you’re helping me when you sign this contract!”
“Then you should sign it and then appoint me to manage!” Lan Zhengguo would not budge. “I will never mix up my personal and business matters! This is my personal princ.i.p.al! If you don’t believe me, then ask every one of my family here! Even if we’re a family, we need to maintain professionalism!”
Lan Zhengguo was a man of principle. He was firm about keeping business interest separate from private interest. For that, his family respected him. His employees respected him.
“Alright. If that’s the case, I’ll sign it.”
Chen Xiaobei did not force Lan Zhengguo to cave. He would eventually pa.s.s on the power to Lan Zhengguo. The signing was merely a formality.
“You can’t sign! I… I forbid you to sign!” shouted Yap Jianming, who had just recovered from the slap. “Chen Xiaobei! Give me back my son! Give me back my Yap Organization shares! Give me back…”
“Shut the f*ck up!” Chen Xiaobei said coldly, “How did your son die? How did you lose Yap Organization? You brought this upon yourself!”
“You… I…”
The whites of Yap Jianming were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead popped.
He brought it upon himself!
If Yap Tianling had not kidnapped Lan Mengcheng, he would not have died.
If Yap Jianming did not acquire Lan Mengcheng, he would not have lost Yap Organization!
Yap Jianming knew that Chen Xiaobei was merely stating a fact. He could not refute Chen Xiaobei and felt extremely remorseful!
If only he had known…
“I brought it upon myself…”
Yap Jianming was filled with so much regret, so much despair that he repeated those words like a r.e.t.a.r.d.
“Focker, order your men to arrest him!” Chen Xiaobei directed.
“Yes!” Focker clapped and, immediately, two of his bodyguards grabbed hold of Yap Jianming and escorted him out.
“Uncle Lan, I’ve signed the contract. Now, I am officially appointing you as the Chief Executive Officer of both organizations. You will make the final decisions. You don’t have to run anything through me!” Chen Xiaobei put down his pen and said, “There is only one thing I want to be done: the first thing you must do once you are appointed, is to kick all of the Yap Family members out of Yap Organization!”
‘I understand!” Lan Zhengguo was a seasoned businessman. He knew what he had to do.
“Alright. There are things I need to attend to in Dragon City. I will take my leave now.” Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, “Let Mengcheng stay. She has not been with her family for a long time. Let her spend time with her grandmother! Once everything is ready, move to Dragon City. We’ll meet there!”
“Alright!” Lan Zhengguo nodded.
“Xiaobei! What are going to do there?” Lan Mengcheng asked, concerned.
“I’m going to give Dragon City a good spring-cleaning so that it’ll be ready for your family to live in!”
Chen Xiaobei gave her an enigmatic smile.
“Spring-cleaning?” Lan Mengcheng looked quizzically at Chen Xiaobei.
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll meet again!” Chen Xiaobei smiled and then walked out of the conference room with Focker.
“Focker, how much money was spent?” Chen Xaiobei asked.
‘According to the market value, 51% of the Lan Family’s shares which is worth 150 billion RMB; 60% of the Yap family’s shares which is worth 6000 billion worth!”
Then Focker added, “But these two acquisitions were very special. The fruit of our victory was paid in cas.h.!.+ The actual amount spent on the Lans was 300 billion, and on the Yaps, 9000 billion.”
“That means that you’ve used 9300 billion RMB?” Chen Xiaobei asked, “Will the Rothschilds pursue the whereabouts of the money?”
