In the night, Lin Congjun, who had just returned from the outside, changed his shoes and brought a middle-aged man who was about forty years old into the study in an ordinary villa area in Nine Continents City.
During this period, Lin Congjun had always been very busy, The series of events in Nine Continents City had almost disrupted all of his original plans, He arrived at Nine Continents City early this year, In his original plan, Stay here for two months at most, He was about to return to the northeast to continue to control his own power. As a result, after the War God King entered the Nine Continents City, accidents began to occur one after another. The War God King's Mansion could be said to have taken care of the Lin Family in the northeast. The performance outside was that Lin Xuanyuan wished he could give all the benefits to Lin Congjun at once.
Although the Lin Clan in the Northeast was also a wealthy clan, in terms of strength, it wasn't considered a top clan amongst the wealthy clans. It was quite a distance away from the top clans like the Lin Clan, Chen Clan, Ye Clan, and He Clan in the Southwest. Its main sphere of influence was also the three provinces of the Northeast. It could be considered a very young power that had just crossed the threshold of the wealthy clan.
Although the three northeastern provinces were Lin Congjun's territory, But with such a huge amount of resources, It was also impossible for Lin Congjun to monopolize it, It was still the territory of the Divine Continent Empire, No matter what, Lin Qingtian would not give up. Therefore, the wealthy families of the southwest faction had infiltrated the northeast more than once over the years. After all these years, other than the Lin family's investment in the southwest, which had been recklessly sent back by the Lin Congjun, the He family and the Liu family's consortia had a sizeable foundation in the northeast.
In addition, there were the southern factions, as well as the factions within the royal family that were developing in the Northeast.
There were three provinces with an area of 700,000 to 800,000 square kilometers. No one could monopolize it. Lin Congjun borrowed the resources of the Huangfu Clan, the overlord of the three northeastern provinces. With the absolute support of the royal family and the deterrence of the royal family, he had only occupied a dominant position in the three northeastern provinces for more than 20 years. He was still far from unifying the world.
But even so, the Lin Clan in the Northeast still had a rich family background.
In recent years, with the development of the Lin Clan in the Northeast becoming more and more terrifying, and their family background becoming thicker and thicker, some bottlenecks that belonged to wealthy clans finally began to appear.
Under the situation that the resources of the three provinces in the Northeast were divided up by the major powers and the interests of the three provinces were gradually saturated, if the Lin Clan in the Northeast wanted to develop, they had to go out.
Not to mention that Lin Congjun's ambition to take revenge made him unwilling to accept the status quo no matter what. Even if Lin Congjun was truly satisfied with his current achievements, it would not be a good thing for the Northeast Lin Clan's development to stagnate.
He who does not advance loses ground.
These eight words were extremely useful in any field.
The Lin Clan of the Northeast was currently the boss in the three provinces of the Northeast. However, if this boss did not make any big moves, then some of his partners and competitors would start to doubt the strength of the Lin Clan of the Northeast. Then, they would continue to make small moves.
The Lin Clan in the Northeast could not stop at any time. The moment they stopped, it represented the beginning of weakness.
Lin Congjun also understood this principle. In recent years, he had been actively searching for a way out of the three northeastern provinces. However, just like how he hated the Lin family in the southwest, Lin Fengxue did not want Lin Congjun to grow stronger and threaten his own existence.
Although he couldn't do anything to Lin Congjun in the three northeastern provinces, But the Lin family of the Northeast came from the three provinces of the Northeast, The horrors of the Lin Clan in the southwest immediately began to manifest. Lin Congjun's expansion outside the three northeastern provinces could be said to be blocked everywhere, There are even three major factions that do not have absolute influence, The provinces where local factions are expanding, The development of the Lin Clan in the Northeast was not very ideal, If they wanted to develop in the imperial camp, such as Wuyue Province and Huating City, it would be tantamount to violating their own interests. In the past few years, the Lin Clan in the Northeast had been in a dilemma. Lin Congjun seemed to temporarily restrain his thoughts of expanding outwards and began to consolidate his own interior.
The Lin Clan in the Northeast, the southern faction and the southwestern faction in the three northeastern provinces were constantly in conflict with each other.
This was a completely helpless decision, But Lin Congjun had no other choice. He had to increase his strength, and he didn't want to touch the cake of his own people within the royal family. In the northeast three provinces, he could only annex the industries of the southwest faction and the south faction. The fiercer he caused in the northeast three provinces, the more he didn't have the chance to leave the northeast three provinces under the suppression of the southwest faction and the south faction.
Dead cycle.
In recent years, the Lin Clan in the Northeast had appeared to be endlessly prosperous, but in reality, the internal troubles had already begun to gradually reveal themselves.
Under such circumstances, the marriage between the Lin Clan and the Xie Clan in the Northeast was undoubtedly an opportunity.
The Xie Clan and the Lin Clan of the Northeast were trying to cooperate. Everything was at the beginning stage. Although it had some effects, the progress was extremely slow. The undercurrents in the three provinces of the Northeast were surging, and the situation had reached a point where it was about to erupt.
Just as Lin Congjun came to the capital worriedly, planning to discuss a big move with Xie Fengtao, the head of the Xie Clan, War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan came to Nine Continents City.
Then, the situation changed!
From the very beginning, Lin Xuanyuan had shown an unreasonable respect for the Lin Clan in the Northeast. Following that, all sorts of interests were piled up in front of the Lin Clan in the Northeast.
The War God King was domineering and fierce. Right now, no one in the upper echelons of the empire didn't know that. He didn't care as much as Lin Congjun. No matter where they were, as long as they could make a profit, Lin Xuanyuan would directly give them to the Lin Clan in the Northeast.
The coal project in Xishan Province, the oil project in Xihai Province, the railway project in Yanzhao Province, the cross-sea bridge in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, the ocean transportation in South Guangdong Province, the financial investment in Huating Province, the subway line, the highway in South Lake Province, the tourism in Qiongnan Province, and the arms trade with the Soviet Union.
Lin Congjun was incomparably tempted, but he was unable to take down the big projects one after another in the hands of the War God Palace as if nothing had happened.
As for Lin Congjun, he still had some instinctive wariness. With the passage of time, the wargod king's prestige in the empire increased rapidly. Countless large groups that wanted to join the wargod king's mansion also began to cooperate with the Lin family in the Northeast.
During Lin Congjun's six months in Nine Continents City, Later on, the busier you get, Talking almost every day, Large sums of money were poured in, The originally relaxed capital chain of the Lin family in the Northeast was getting tighter and tighter. Large-scale bank loans were being spent one by one. Lin Congjun could not even remember how many projects he had agreed on. However, he was certain that the amount he had lent to the bank had basically exceeded the market value of all the Lin family's industries in the Northeast.
Lin Congjun once talked about this matter with Lin Xuanyuan and expressed his concern. However, Lin Xuanyuan smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry. It's fine. As long as I don't collapse, the Lin family in the Northeast won't collapse."
Lin Congjun was sure that as long as nothing unexpected happened, it would only take ten years, or even five years. When all these projects started to make money, the strength of the Lin Clan in the Northeast would explosively increase, and they could even be ranked among the first-rate wealthy clans.
This is just a calculation of some of the projects that have been collaborated on.
Apart from these items, as the Emperor entered the capital this time, there were still more items waiting in line for the Lin Clan to choose from in the Northeast.
This villa in Nine Continents City had become almost the second headquarters of the Lin Family in the Northeast. For this reason, Lin Congjun had specially transferred an extremely capable assistant to help him deal with a series of matters.
"President Lin, these past few days, We moved too much, I roughly calculated, Now, If our current projects were fully operational, at least 150 billion or more in cash every year, "Only then can we ensure the normal operation of all kinds of projects, and our total annual profit is less than 50 billion. Although we have some foundation, if we add in the profits, we will only be able to last for two and a half years. If we want to revitalize all the projects, it will take at least four to five years, that is 600 billion. With our current strength, I'm afraid it's a bit insufficient."
In the study, Lin Congjun was sitting on the sofa. The middle-aged man he brought into the study reported meticulously. His name was Xu Wenhui. He was the vice president of the Northeast Lin Forest Group. He had graduated from Yale University and had been with Lin Congjun for more than ten years. He was considered to be Lin Congjun's top think tank. He was definitely his right hand man.
"Then do you have any good suggestions?"
Lin Congjun waved his hand and let Xu Wenhui sit down. He rubbed his forehead with his other hand and whispered, "He took part in a dinner party in the real estate circle of Nine Continents City tonight and drank too much."
"There are four paths now."
Xu Wenhui said in a clear and orderly manner, "First, we have a large-scale financing listing, but our funding gap is too big. Even if we go public, there are still certain risks. If we don't get it right, it will very likely result in the biggest financing case since the founding of the empire. At that time, we will have nothing."
"Second, sell our existing businesses and gather as much capital as possible. However, many of our businesses are now being mortgaged by banks. This path is also not easy to follow."
"The third is to reduce the stakes in joint ventures, This is by far the most viable option, The shares I'm talking about, Not a stake in the forest conglomerate, but shares in some of the projects we've started working on, Of these large projects, We have a lot of shares, Of course, We're also investing heavily, For example, in the oilfield development project we worked with Dadi Group in the West Sea, We own 70% of it, If we turn 70% into 50%, "Then we can save a sum of money every year. If the same goes for other projects, we can barely survive. Of course, our profits will definitely decrease in the end, but this is only relative. Compared to normal development, even if we reduce our holdings now, it will be an explosive development."
"As for the fourth, it's asking for help from the royal family."
Xu Wenhui said indifferently as he looked at Lin Congjun's reaction.
Lin Congjun's expression was indifferent, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
'"President Lin, I had a phone call with President Yang of the Earth Group during dinner today. I have already implicitly expressed my intention to reduce my shareholding. Of course, it was based on my own suggestion. How about the specifics? I said that I would have to report this matter to you before I can confirm it. Do you want to talk to President Yang about this matter?"
Xu Wenhui said, As one of Lin Congjun's deputies, Xu Wenhui still had a lot of autonomy. Once he thought that his ideas were beneficial to the group, he would start probing according to his own plan. For example, tonight, after talking to Director Yang of the Earth Group and gaining a clearer attitude from the other party, he would immediately report to Lin Congjun.
If Lin Congjun nodded, then this matter could begin immediately. If Lin Congjun did not agree, then the preparations he made were nothing much. He had only done a little more.
"I..."
Lin Congjun opened his mouth. Before he could speak, the soft phone rang.
Lin Congjun was stunned for a moment. He took out his phone and saw the phone number on it. He subconsciously sat up straight. He looked at Xu Wenhui doubtfully and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, join the army. I'm Tang Xin."
On the phone, a mature and melodious voice rang out.
"Hello, President Tang."
Lin Congjun chuckled softly with a trace of respect.
No matter who it was, no one would show any disrespect for the royal family's absolute goddess of wealth, who had personally provoked several financial crises.
"That's right. I just received a call from Xuanyuan. It seems that someone reported something to him. It's said that there is something wrong with your cooperation with the Earth Group. Do you want to reduce the shares in your hands?"
Tang Xin's voice sounded neither hurriedly nor slowly.
Lin Congjun was stunned for a moment. He never thought that his assistant would reveal a single meaning first and that the news would have already been passed to the War God Palace.
At this moment, Lin Congjun had a thought in his mind that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How boring was the War God King to pay such high attention to his Northeast Lin Clan at this juncture?
"Is it a matter of money?"
While Lin Congjun was silent, Tang Xin's voice rang out from the phone again.
"Uh, this..."
Lin Congjun blushed and didn't know what to say.
'"How about this? When I first talked to Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan wanted the Wang family to lend you a portion of the funds. I agreed, but I have another idea. You can decide what to do."
"The royal family can lend you $50 billion. Interest-free. Pay it back within five years. The other option is for the royal family to invest $60 billion to buy 30% of Forest Group's shares. No matter what you choose, the royal family will not interfere. You have full autonomy in joining the army."
Tang Xin's voice wasn't loud, but Xu Wenhui was very close to Lin Congjun. He could clearly hear Tang Xin's words. Immediately, the vice president, who was loyal to the Lin Family in the Northeast, was so excited that he even breathed quickly. Without hesitation, he extended two fingers towards Lin Congjun and put on a two-and-two posture, continuously gesturing.
Sixty billion U.S. Dollars, nearly 400 billion yuan to buy 30 percent of the shares of the Forest Group.
This price was definitely a premium.
At present, the combined market value of all of the Lin Clan's industries in the Northeast was only over 300 billion yuan.
Without a doubt, what Tang Xin paid for wasn't the shares of the Lin Family in the Northeast, but the shares after the large-scale projects.
But no matter what, Tang Xin was very kind to buy 60 billion of these shares at this critical time.
Otherwise, even if he wanted 60% to 70% of the shares of the Forest Group, it wouldn't be too much.
And most importantly, if the Forest Group cooperated with the royal family, then the future prospects would be broadened once again!
"I choose the second condition, President Tang, 60 billion to buy 30% of the shares of the Forest Group. I don't think it's worth it. How about this, 60 billion? I'll give you 40% of the shares. If possible, we can sign the contract at any time."
Lin Congjun said without hesitation.
"Forty percent? Then Xuanyuan is going to be anxious about me. Let's settle this. Thirty percent. I'll arrive at Nine Continents City tomorrow. I'll sign the contract then."
Tang Xin smiled as she spoke. She paused for a moment and continued, "Join the army. If you can keep this money, then keep it. The royal family has some big projects waiting to be developed. The Lin family in the Northeast, hehe …"
Tang Xin's last laugh was filled with meaning.
Lin Congjun's heart skipped a beat.
With his relationship with Lin Xuanyuan, there was no need to say more about the royal family's major projects.
"I see. Thank you, President Tang."
Lin Congjun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone will be one of us in the future. You don't need to be polite."
Tang Xin smiled and hung up the phone.
Lin Congjun sat on the sofa and was silent for a long time before he took the phone and sighed softly, "It's soaring into the sky."
"President Lin, congratulations."
Xu Wenhui smiled excitedly.
Lin Congjun patted Xu Wenhui on the shoulder and laughed, "I'll call Xuanyuan, get some wine, and have another drink with me."
"Bang!"
Before Lin Congjun could finish his words, a loud and dull gunshot rang out in the night sky, enveloping the entire villa area!
Lin Congjun suddenly stood up and rushed to the window to look out.
Outside the window, in the darkness, under the street lights.
A pitch-black sedan charged into the villa area like crazy. The headlights flashed and the entire body did not stop. It directly knocked over the iron door of the small courtyard in front of the villa and rushed towards the hall.
"Boom!"
The wooden door of the hall was instantly smashed open, and the crazy car directly rushed into the hall. Amidst the dull sound, the exceptionally obvious sound of cracking suddenly rang out in the hall.
"Huala!"
At the same time, the ceiling of the villa was destroyed with brute force.
Lin Congjun rushed to the study entrance and saw a few vigorous figures descending from the ceiling. Two of them landed directly at the study entrance and grabbed Lin Congjun. They hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, hurry up and leave!"
In the next moment, intense and intense gunfire erupted.
Deafening!
