C67 Planning
Half an hour later, within the most opulent villa at the heart of Snow Dragon Villa, Lin Yin stood hands clasped behind him on the third-floor balcony. He gazed out at the tumultuous Qingyun River; across its expanse lay the vibrant central district of Qingyun City, with its towering skyscrapers ablaze with lights.
The vista was truly exceptional. From his elevated vantage point, Lin Yin could see all of Qingyun City spread out below him. He was quite pleased with the villa.
Spanning over a thousand square meters, the villa boasted a sprawling backyard, a swimming pool, and a garage. Its grand living room, the corridor's numerous bedrooms, and the ornate, twisting staircases all exuded elegance. The decor was a blend of antique charm, featuring a complete set of Ming and Qing dynasty Huali furniture, complemented by the most luxurious contemporary home brands.
Purchasing this estate for 280 million, it was undoubtedly among the finest in Qingyun City.
At that moment, Jiang Qi knocked and entered through the rear door, approaching Lin Yin.
Bowing respectfully, Jiang Qi reported, "Director Lin, all the paperwork for the villa is in order. Snow Dragon Villa maintains strict regulations, and our security measures are the finest in East Sea Province. Rest assured, your personal information will remain strictly confidential."
He placed a thick stack of documents on the nearby mahogany tea table.
Lin Yin settled into a large chair and remarked coolly, "You've done well. Please, sit and enjoy some tea."
"Thank you, Director Lin," Jiang Qi replied, taking a cup of tea. He continued to bow, not daring to take a seat.
Lin Yin glanced at Jiang Qi and inquired calmly, "I've tasked you with taking sole control of Ocean Real Estate Group and ousting the Sunn Family. What resources will you need?"
Lin Yin had pondered this before. Marine Real Estate Company, the largest in North City's real estate sector, was neither particularly large nor small by the standards of a provincial capital like Qingyun City.
For a century-old dynasty and billionaire consortium like the Sunn Family, the company represented a significant asset. If Jiang Qi could ascend to the top smoothly, further encroachment on the company would surely be a thorn in the Sunn Family's side.
He had made up his mind to plant Jiang Qi like a nail into the Sunn Family's domain.
Jiang Qi's face registered shock, the thrill in his eyes impossible to hide as his hand, clutching the teacup, trembled slightly.
The information Director Lin shared was monumental! Jiang Qi was thrilled; he hadn't anticipated Director Lin's audacity. When he spoke of targeting the Sunn Family, he did so with decisive action, never dragging his feet. This was the mark of a true visionary.
After much deliberation, Jiang Qi spoke earnestly, "I handle all the operations at Ocean Real Estate Group. I personally developed all the major and minor shareholders who have invested with us. They're all friends from my network. The Sunn Family just sits back and collects money, while Sunn Heng, who's supposed to oversee this sector, left only a gluttonous Sunn scion to supervise me as president. I could easily oust the Sunn Family from the Board of Directors, but... I can't handle the fallout..."
"Just tell me how much funding you need," Lin Yin interjected with a calm demeanor.
Jiang Qi pondered deeply before asserting, "With ten billion for operations, I'm confident I can purge the company of the Sunn Family's appointees, seize control of the Board of Directors, and sever the Sunn Family's grip on Ocean Real Estate Group!"
"I'll give you twenty billion," Lin Yin offered nonchalantly, tossing a bank card onto the tea table. "You know the PIN for this card."
It was the same card used for the purchase at Water Garden.
Grasping the card firmly, Jiang Qi bowed deeply and promised, "Director Lin, I won't disappoint you!"
"Proceed with confidence; don't fear the Sunn Family's countermeasures," Lin Yin advised with unwavering composure.
Jiang Qi's eyes gleamed with determination. With Director Lin as his steadfast supporter, warding off the Sunn Family's reprisals, he was sure he could effortlessly conquer Marine Real Estate Company and even strike further blows against the Sunn Family in the business arena.
"Director Lin, I assure you that within a week, Ocean Real Estate Group will have a new owner. And in the future, I will diligently manage the North City property on your behalf," Jiang Qi declared with conviction.
Lin Yin smiled and said, "Merely taking over a small Ocean Real Estate Group is far from enough. You have a clearer understanding of the Sunn Family's business operations than many outsiders. I'll help you become the boss."
"Director Lin, thank you for this opportunity!" Jiang Qi's expression was one of shock and excitement. He fully grasped the implications of Lin Yin's words.
He understood that Director Lin's intentions went beyond simply dealing with Sunn Heng and taking over the Ocean Real Estate Group to spite the Sunn Family.
His tone suggested that he aimed to completely swallow up the Sunn Family! Such audacity was rare; it was doubtful that another like him could be found in all of Qingyun City!
Although he was unaware of the precise forces backing Lin Yin, Jiang Qi had faith in the young Director Lin before him. With his disdain for the Sunn Family, he was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with!
Jiang Qi exhaled deeply, his spirits soaring as if he had ascended to the clouds, his passion ignited. Years of pent-up resentment towards the Sunn Family were about to be unleashed in a wave of retribution...
This was a scenario he had never dared to imagine before. Could he truly stand against a colossal family like the Sunn Family?
It was well-known that the Sunn Family was one of Qingyun City's elite Three Big Families, a symbol of unrivaled power and prestige.
The Sunn, Wang, and Zhou Families were not just the top families of Qingyun City; they were the leading families of the entire East Sea Province.
These venerable families, with their centuries-old legacies, had deep roots and widespread wealth across the province. Their influence extended far beyond the provincial capital of Qingyun City, reaching into every corner of the East Sea Province.
This was what set the Three Big Families apart from the second-tier families like the Zhang and Qin Families of Qingyun City, whose influence was confined within city limits and diminished elsewhere.
It was common knowledge that since the Ming Dynasty, Qingyun City had seen countless second-tier families rise and fall over the centuries. Yet, the Three Big Families stood unshaken, their foundations deep and strong. Generation after generation, they produced exceptional individuals, enjoying a privileged position in politics, business, the military, and even the underworld, entwined in complex relationships and controlling vast fortunes.
It's clear that this is the true mark of an aristocratic family, not something that can be compared to a clan that has suddenly struck it rich.
"Director Lin, I will compile all the known assets and their distribution within the Sunn Family into documents for you," Jiang Qi stated earnestly. "I've also had dealings with the influential figures within the Sunn Family and have gained some insight into their power dynamics."
Lin Yin took a sip of tea, nodded, and spoke in a detached tone, "You may go now. Come back and report to me if there's anything else."
"Yes!" Jiang Qi responded, nodding solemnly. His excitement lingered as he left Lin Yin's opulent villa.
Once Jiang Qi had departed, Lin Yin lit a cigarette and gazed across the Qingyun River at the glittering central district of Qingyun City, his eyes growing more profound.
Jiang Qi had sown his seeds; now it was a matter of his ability and how far he could develop...
