Chapter 4115 - 4134: Betrayal?
Chapter 4115 - 4134: Betrayal?
Conglomerate?Lin Chenxin sighed inwardly, no matter the era, family power always exists and tends to be very strong.
When a new order is established, new nobility is born, and as time passes, the nobility expands into various industries, becoming new monopolies, new family conglomerates.
The flying car sped all the way and then landed on the central Lake Heart Island of the entire area.
This Lake Heart Island isn’t very large, and the buildings on it align more with Lin Chenxin’s idea of a Manor.
No need for the man beside him to explain, Lin Chen had already understood.
This Lake Heart Island is the core of the Wei Family, and those eligible to live here must be the real power holders of the Wei Family.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Lin Chen and the others examined the pleasant surrounding scenery, following the burly man towards the villa on the island.
"Lake Heart Island, not a bad environment."
Shang Wenyao smiled with pursed lips: "The taste of privilege."
Lin Chen laughed: "One of the thirty-six wealthy families of Emperor Star, just the family population is in the tens or even hundreds of thousands. As the core ruler of the family, it’s indeed privilege within privilege, an existence akin to an emperor on this small plot of land."
The expressions of the people were somewhat subtle.
A family so wealthy, and the family head’s son was dealt with by myself, and he’s even throwing a banquet to apologize to me?
Why is it a bit unbelievable?
Lin Chen, thinking that if something is to be done, it’s better to resolve it sooner rather than later, had come straightforwardly, wanting to see what the other side intended.
Hongmen Banquet?
At worst, flip the table and fight to the death.
Our group is just a few people, no threat to myself, on the contrary, the other family is big and wealthy, if it truly came to a life-and-death struggle, would a barefooted person be afraid of one wearing shoes?
The group was led into the villa, where a tall middle-aged man stood in the Living room, smiling as he extended his hand.
"Mr. Lin, ladies, welcome to the Wei Family, I am Wei Family Head, Wei Bo Fei."
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, to go to such great lengths to bring us here, I’m sure it isn’t just for a meal?"
Wei Bo Fei smiled slightly: "Apologizing is one aspect, I have some matters I’d like to cooperate with you on in another aspect."
Lin Chen asked straightforwardly: "What cooperation?"
"Guests just arrived, why so eager?"
Wei Bo Fei laughed: "The banquet is ready, please join us, we can drink and chat."
The group entered a very large and luxurious private room, with a giant dining table already set with cold dishes.
"The guests have arrived, serve the dishes."
Wei Bo Fei instructed, inviting everyone to sit down.
Lin Chen asked: "Where is Young Master Wei, why haven’t I seen him?"
Wei Bo Fei laughed: "This kid was spoiled by his mother since childhood, with a terrible temper. I’m worried that if he comes to dinner, his words might offend you, so I didn’t let him come."
"A child’s failure in education is the fault of the father. For his mistakes, this apology I offer..."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Mr. Wei’s words are too serious, actually, there wasn’t any major conflict, just a few words exchanged, it’s nothing significant, there’s no need to mention apologies."
"As one of the thirty-six wealthy families of Emperor Star, the Wei Family is indeed high in power, yet all of a sudden you are so courteous to us nobodies, it makes me feel flattered and quite surprised."
Wei Bo Fei laughed: "Others may not be worthy of my personal apology, but Mr. Lin and your family definitely are, we at the Wei Family very much want to be friends with you all."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing the purpose behind their invitation.
Cooperation?
The other party should have investigated our group’s identity and now wishes to cooperate with us to seize the interests of Lost Ball 235?
Our group may not be able to dictate the fate of Lost Ball 235, but we are Heaven Deities and have significant clout in the Cultivation World. If they have our cooperation, what they want to achieve will be much easier.
It’s like outsiders trying to conquer a region; when they can’t directly rule, they court the original region’s leaders, recruiting them under their own banner. With this, many things become simpler.
"I wonder how Mr. Wei intends to make friends?"
Wei Bo Fei laughed: "Let’s eat first, and we’ll discuss this slowly."
The waiter began serving the dishes, and the good wine was also poured. Wei Bo Fei raised his wine glass, formally apologizing for his son’s reckless behavior, and drank a glass of wine.
Lin Chen accompanied him with a drink, but was inwardly sneering.
Apologize?
This is just an excuse for today’s dinner; what’s to follow is the real climax.
Wei Bo Fei sighed: "After Xiaofeng returned, he was infuriated to death. After inquiry and a simple understanding, I came to know your identities."
"You are all supreme in the Cultivation World, Heaven Deities, the rulers of the Cultivation World, with unparalleled looks and temperament, no wonder my no-good son tried to chat you up..."
Wei Bo Fei, holding his wine glass, swept a glance over the group, suddenly turned his words: "Now that the Federation has discovered your world, and it is so unique, the Federation certainly intends to study and develop your world; besides the official stance, many other forces are also eyeing you. What is your view on the future of the Cultivation World?"
Lin Chen put down his wine glass and smiled: "Mr. Wei, you might as well speak plainly."
Wei Bo Fei restrained his smile, no longer hiding his purpose, and said solemnly: "I hope to cooperate with you all to develop the Cultivation World. Your side possesses many things Federation people desire; this is a vast business opportunity. If handled well, it could establish a massive commercial empire."
Lin Chen asked: "How will this cooperation be carried out?"
Wei Bo Fei responded succinctly: "Federation’s related procedures will be handled by our Wei Family. You need to unify the entire Cultivation World’s resources, whether people or materials, for unified management, then produce the goods desired by the Federation and sell them to every planet."
Lin Chen remained calm: "This is the cooperation method; how about the profit distribution?"
Wei Bo Fei smiled: "Wei Family eight, you two, how about it?"
Before Lin Chen could respond, Wei Bo Fei persuaded: "Don’t consider two parts small; after all, obtaining the relevant procedures is not easy. The commercial channels on various planets are not something anyone can manage. You just need to assist in maintaining order, ensuring the whole system operates smoothly since you are the most knowledgeable about the Cultivation World."
Lin Chen laughed: "In other words, we’re working for you, the Wei Family, selling our world and receiving two parts of the profits, and we’re expected to be grateful to your Wei Family, is that what you mean?"
Wei Bo Fei’s smile faded, his tone cooled by two degrees: "Mr. Lin, from your tone, it seems you’re unwilling?"
