Ruyue glanced at Xu Hao and said, "You're asking ? I don't know either. My strength isn't even as high as yours, so of course I couldn't discern anything. Maybe Elder Xie discovered sothing about you."
Xu Hao gasped inwardly. He had two pieces of Immortal Bone on him—could Elder Xie have noticed that?
But then again, acquiring the two Immortal Bones could be chalked up to luck, right? It didn't necessarily have anything to do with innate talent, did it?
Could it be that he noticed sothing special about my bloodline?
That was a possibility. Elder Xie was nearly a hundred years old; who knew what he had seen? What if he really could detect it?
However, he seed to be a relatively gentle person, and with his status, he probably wouldn't talk recklessly about it.
Chen Suyi, seeing the atmosphere turn a bit somber, joked with a smile, "Big bad guy, if you kick the bucket, I'll definitely visit your grave every year."
"You're asking for a beating again, aren't you?" Xu Hao feigned anger as he spoke.
"Hmph! I'm taking Anna with , let's see if you dare to hit then." Chen Suyi said, reaching for Anna's hand to lead her away, but unfortunately, Anna had no intentions of going anywhere and remained sitting still in the distance.
Xu Hao laughed, "Alright, knock it off, you're grown won making a scene, it's embarrassing. Let's go back. I've got Tu Yilong waiting for a trouncing from tomorrow."
"Let's go, Big Bro. You get a good night's rest and tomorrow make sure you beat him so badly even his mom won't recognize him!"
Anna, pulling on Xu Hao, was ready to leave the place when suddenly Chen Suyi grabbed Ruyue to follow, claiming she had to "protect Anna from Xu Hao, the big bad wolf."
But what she forgot was that Anna seed quite willing to let Xu Hao 'prey' on her, though Xu Hao himself disagreed...
...
The slovenly elder had long since finished his roast duck and had sohow found a plate of spiced peanuts.
With a slight flick of his index finger, a minuscule amount of Qi Force shot out and struck the plate, causing it to quiver slightly. A peanut flew up and landed precisely in his mouth.
He didn't even look at the plate while performing this feat, sothing that would have surely astounded any onlooker into exclaiming, "Holy shit!"
As Xu Hao and the others left the hall, the elder suddenly picked up the plate and poured the remaining peanuts into his mouth, muttering to himself, "Dammit, that Xie brat talks too much. Doesn't he know that spilling the secrets of heaven could invite a lightning strike? Crap, discussing these mystical matters is no fun at all. Those guys are always so secretive and mystical, yet they never really achieve anything significant. When that incident happened, wasn't it just a damn..."
He grumbled under his breath, yet his movents were quick. Light as a swallow in the sky, he followed Xu Hao into the night.
...
The next day.
Right after Xu Hao finished his breakfast, Jing Yuanfan sent a ssage: Young Master Xu, Arica's DUB Corporation is about to go bankrupt. We might be able to acquire them since they have a key set of equipnt that cannot be sourced on the open market. However, my initial estimate is that there will be no fewer than twenty dostic and international companies interested in acquiring DUB Corporation.
In the follow-up, he noted that DUB Corporation, specializing in information warfare, was once an Arican mobile communications company. It has been in its current field for twenty-three years, and all five of Arica's Internet giants have their core equipnt, which is why these giants are likely not in the running—they have an unshakeable position in the internet world that minor companies can't threaten. The reference version of this chapter is on *.
However, this set of equipnt is extrely important to companies that don't have access to crucial technologies. Even though it's difficult to grasp even a tenth of these technologies through the equipnt, even a one percent chance is still a chance.
Jing Yuanfan's report essentially requested Xu Hao to finance the acquisition of this company.
After reading it, Xu Hao asked the technical and business staff at Wang Zhong's end for their opinions. They all agreed, finding it incredible that Jing Yuanfan, a tech-nerd, had such a strategic vision.
Because, in many people's biased views, they believed soone like Jing Yuanfan, who was oriented towards technical work, wouldn't consider issues on the business battlefield. But Jing Yuanfan apparently did.
Xu Hao was also sowhat pleased; it seed he had stumbled upon a treasure. As the chairman of a conglorate, he couldn't be hands-on with everything. He needed his subordinates to manage every tiny detail ticulously.
He replied to Jing Yuanfan imdiately: As long as you think it's feasible, after confirming through discussion, then go ahead and make bold moves. Don't be afraid to spend money, the group is not short of it! If those companies want to bid, then we'll raise the price even higher, making it unaffordable for them! As long as your competition is legal, without any underhanded tactics, I only want results. If you can bring benefits to the group and crush the arrogance of Crooked Fruit, that's a good thing!
Jing Yuanfan, from the computer room, was overjoyed upon receiving Xu Hao's affirmative response.
