So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 1276: Yang Ming’s Real Assets

“Ah?” Sun Hongjun did not expect that there was such a twist in the middle, and he could not help but sigh, “That kid, Donghua, is really sensible. He knows how to distinguish the good and the bad. This is commendable!”

“Therefore, I decided to let Tian Long go,” said Yang Ming.

“Okay, but I don’t want to see him anymore; at least, for a while, I don’t want to see him…” Sun Hongjun said this to mean that he agreed to Yang Ming’s approach. After all, he was under house arrest by Tian Long for a long time. It was inevitable that there was anger in his heart, so he didn’t want to see Tian Long.

“I am ready to let him go to Africa to enjoy a life of retirement on my private island,” said Yang Ming. “I have already arranged this.”

“Private island?” Sun Hongjun couldn’t help but be surprised after hearing Yang Ming’s words. He didn’t understand what Yang Ming said; he thought he misheard.

“En, yes. It’s a private island.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I bought a private island in North Africa, but because its historical background is special, it is controlled by some warlords all year round, so it became an independent country. Although it isn’t recognized internationally, North Africa has agreed tacitly to its presence.”

“Controlled by warlords? Can this island still be bought?” said Sun Hongjun in amazement. “After you buy it, those warlords may not easily step down, right?”

“They don’t need to step down. It just so happens that I can let them take care of the island’s law and order for me,” said Yang Ming casually. “Anyways, I have many people there; if they don’t do well, I’ll just change it.”

Listening to Yang Ming’s arbitrariness, Sun Hongjun really didn’t know what to say. It didn’t seem like Yang Ming was bragging. He was able to control the entertainment industry in two cities, Song Jiang and Jidun, in just half a year. Sun Hongjun himself didn’t think that he had the courage to do it. Therefore, Yang Ming could say that he convinced the former warlords on the island.

“That island… How much is it?” Sun Hongjun knew that he couldn’t get anything by asking questions now. It was better to see it with his own eyes when he had the opportunity, so he didn’t want to ask about the warlords. Instead, he asked about the island’s value!

It must be known that the Sun Family’s assets had already exceeded a hundred million yuan, but there were not many liquid funds. The funds were all invested in real estate and other immovable properties. The funds that could be used were actually not much!

Although the price of an island ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and Sun Hongjun should be able to afford one, it was a little out of the question to take out so much money at once. Therefore, Sun Hongjun was naturally very surprised when Yang Ming suddenly bought an island. How much money does Yang Ming have?

“How much… Ugh, I don’t know exactly. A friend from Europe bought it and gave it to me.” Yang Ming smiled a little awkwardly. Old Buffon bought this island as a gift for Yang Ming; Yang Ming naturally didn’t how much Old Buffon spent.

This kind of question basically couldn’t be asked. Firstly, Old Buffon did not lack money; the price of an island could only be regarded as a drop in the ocean for Old Buffon, and Yang Ming was Old Buffon’s master. With that identity, he deserved to accept things from his disciples. What sense was there to ask people about the price?

“…” Sun Hongjun really didn’t know what to say.* Such a priceless island was actually given by someone else. So what is the level of the person who gave Yang Ming an island? The person actually spent so much on it?*

Sun Hongjun asked himself, Even if I have more money, I can’t just buy someone an island just because I say so! In his foresight, he could only afford to buy one or two such islands in his lifetime.

“Uncle Sun, I think you shouldn’t handle the business here anymore.” Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said what he thought. Sun Hongjun’s methods of controlling his subordinates were still lacking, allowing the situation where Tian Long rebelled to happen. He treated his men with sentiment and affection. Although this could make his men work hard to a certain extent, it could not completely intimidate and control his men. For example, given enough interest, Tian Long finally betrayed Sun Hongjun.

“Oh? Have you decided to take over?” Sun Hongjun asked with a smile after being slightly surprised. It was Sun Hongjun’s ultimate goal to let Yang Ming take over. Now that he heard Yang Ming mention it, he thought that Yang Ming agreed with his proposal.

“Take over?” This time it was Yang Ming’s turn to be surprised, but after thinking about it, he knew that Sun Hongjun misunderstood. So, he quickly said, “Uncle Sun, you misunderstood. I mean, letting you give up the business here.”

“Give up? What do you mean?” Sun Hongjun did not understand Yang Ming, but he also faintly guessed something. “Yang Ming, why don’t I understand what you mean?”

“Uncle Sun, don’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands. I have promised Tian Donghua before that Donghai’s business will be handed over to him in the future…” Yang Ming was, indeed, embarrassed. Although the Sun Family’s funds didn’t amount to much, it was not his. It was indeed a bit unconscientious for him to act first and report later.

“What!? Hand it to Tian Donghua to handle?” Sun Hongjun looked at Yang Ming in shock after hearing Yang Ming’s words. However, he looked at Yang Ming and realized that he was not joking. He thought he got it wrong. “Yang Ming, did I get it wrong? You mean that you want to hand over our Sun Family business to Tian Donghua?”

“I have promised him this before…” Yang Ming saw Sun Hongjun’s look at the moment and knew that he had overstepped this time. He should have at least discussed it with Sun Hongjun beforehand.

Sun Hongjun looked at Yang Ming silently and said nothing. Sun Hongjun wasn’t willing in his heart. However, after a while, he waved his hand. “Forget it! Since we were all saved by you, I will naturally listen to what you have to say. Otherwise, this family business would have also fallen into the hands of Tian Long. Now that I am free, it is already very good. You can make the decision about these matters…”

“Uncle Sun…” The more Sun Hongjun said this, the more uncomfortable Yang Ming was in his heart.

“Don’t say it anymore…” Sun Hongjun smiled bitterly. “Originally, these businesses will be left for you in the future; you are just handling it earlier!”

“Uncle Sun… you listen to me…” Yang Ming wanted to explain, but Sun Hongjun waved his hand.

“You let me finish!” said Sun Hongjun, “It’s not too late to make the final decision after you listen to me! Do you know how much the assets of the Sun Family’s business are now?! They are nearly as large as two hundred million yuan. Are you planning to give it away?”

“Uncle Sun, in fact, I planned to talk to you in a few days about something, but since our discussion has already reached this point, then I might as well just say it.” Yang Ming noticed that Sun Hongjun was obsessed with the two hundred million worth of assets rather than focusing on the fact that Yang Ming made a decision without consulting him, so he was slightly relieved.

“En? What?” Sun Hongjun felt that there was something in Yang Ming’s words, so he calmed down. He also felt that Yang Ming was not the kind of wastrel that would simply give away his family business. From the speed of Yang Ming’s gathering of wealth, it could be seen that he was not a fool. Therefore, if Yang Ming could really give away these assets that were worth more than two hundred million yuan, it could only show that either Yang Ming had a different purpose or that Yang Ming’s wealth was far beyond two hundred million.

“Uncle Sun, I am planning to build the island of Country X in Africa into a world-class resort island,” said Yang Ming. “I believe Uncle Sun isn’t unfamiliar with Henry Island, right?”

“En, I have been to Henry Island; it is indeed a paradise on earth, the entertainment world of the rich,” Sun Hongjun nodded and said. “Do you want to build a similar island? The construction costs and production costs are not low!”

Yang Ming nodded. “I know that the construction costs and production costs are not low, but I still have the capability to build it.” As Yang Ming was talking, he turned on the computer on the desk and logged into a bank account query URL, then he entered his account number at a Swiss bank.

Because the online service allowed the account to be queried and not be transferred, Yang Ming was not afraid of anything like viruses on the computer. Yang Ming opened the details of his account and turned the screen of the computer to Sun Hongjun. Then he said, “Uncle Sun, this is the cash that I currently have with me…”

“Oh?” Sun Hongjun didn’t take it seriously at the beginning. He looked up at the computer screen casually, but at first glance, his eyes were fixed on the screen…

“One zero, two zeros, three zeros, four zeros, five zeros, six zeros…” Sun Hongjun widened his eyes and began counting the “zeroes” behind the string of numbers on the screen. “More than three billion?”

Yang Ming smiled and nodded lightly.

Sun Hongjun dropped his jaws wide in shock. When he saw the Euro currency symbol that was in front of the more than three billion figure, he almost fainted! After a long while, he said, “It is even in Euro?”

“Yes.” This was the black money that Yang Ming got from Dorsk, but after that, Yang Ming received a lot of mine contracting money from Country X. Those monies weren’t counted naturally, but it was more than enough to build Country X into a world-class resort island.

“I finally know why you don’t care about my family’s assets.” Sun Hongjun was a man who did big things, and he quickly returned from a short period of shock. He laughed somewhat self-mockingly. “Since you don’t care, then I have nothing to say. Given the money you have now, you won’t be able to finish spending it even in a few lifetimes.”

“Uncle Sun, I showed you the money not because I want to show off, but I want to make you feel at ease. Don’t involve the experience because of money.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “In fact, the money for building the island is self-sufficient on the island. The island is rich in mines; its output will not be exhausted even after hundreds of years of mining. I have contracted out all the mines; the income is enough to build the island.”

“Ah! It turns out to be the case. The island also has the rentals from mines!” Sun Hongjun also heard about North Africa before. The mines were abundant, so he did not feel confused after hearing Yang Ming said so.

“I’ve let the people under my command to go out and do vigorous work to bully those warlords, but they are a lot worse in terms of managing a business,” said Yang Ming. “So Uncle Sun, I want to invite you to be in charge of the planning and development of the island!”

“Me?” Sun Hongjun was a bit moved immediately after hearing Yang Ming say this, but then he smiled bitterly. “I was almost finished by Tian Long. Do you think I can do the job?”

“Uncle Sun, you just manage without worries. You don’t have to think about how to govern the underlings; they won’t dare to rebel.” Yang Ming smiled. Sun Hongjun was a man of great strength and ability. Otherwise, Sun’s Group would not become so big and strong in just a few years. He just didn’t know how to restrict his subordinates, but this did not hinder his business talent. Therefore, when Yang Ming put him in this position, Yang Ming didn’t need him to be cautious of the subordinates under him who would lie, but to use his talents as much as possible.

Moreover, Yang Ming had absolute certainty that the people over there dared not betray him because no one wanted to die. They understood Yang Ming’s true strength, so no one dared to go against Yang Ming.

In this way, without these worries, Sun Hongjun would be able to make a grand plan.

“Oh?” Sun Hongjun looked at Yang Ming with great interest. He realized that he had never understood Yang Ming. This boy, who was younger than him by a few decades, had an extraordinary ability.

“How about it, Uncle Sun? Do you have this thought?” Yang Ming asked with a smile.

It was impossible for Sun Hongjun not to want to show his ideals and ambitions on a bigger platform! Now that this excellent opportunity was in front of him, how could he not be tempted? Sun Hongjun’s only concern was that he would not do well and not be up to the task. “I naturally don’t want to miss this kind of good opportunity, but have you thought about the problems with sourcing the guests? I will try my best to build an adult paradise there, but I can’t control the guests’ ideas.”

“You can rest assured!” Yang Ming heard Sun Hongjun’s words and knew his concerns. Although Sun Hongjun also wanted to put his ambitions into effect, he was also afraid that he might not do a good job, and he might even lose Yang Ming’s money. The source of guests was the most crucial issue. If guests did not come, it was useless, no matter how great it was. So, Yang Ming explained to him, “The person who gave me this island is Old Buffon. He is the Buffon Family’s patriarch. The Buffon Family is one of the most famous families in Europe. He has a deep connection in the European upper class, so I’ll leave the guests to him.”

“Old Buffon…” After hearing Yang Ming’s words, Sun Hongjun fell into deep thought and suddenly said, “I remember! This Old Buffon seems to have come here before. The TV and news reported about him before; he is a very famous person in Europe!”

“Yes! It’s him,” said Yang Ming. “Uncle Sun, you won’t worry about it now, right?”

“Yang Ming, I really don’t understand you anymore…” Sun Hongjun sighed. “I don’t know how you know these people, and how you gathered this wealth!”

“Hehe, Uncle Sun, after having a bigger platform, will you still care about these assets in Donghai?” asked Yang Ming with a smile.

“This… of course not…” Sun Hongjun sighed with a smile. “Times have changed, and now, I suddenly feel that my horizon has expanded.”

“Just let Little Jie and Uncle San handle Donghai’s business at first. When we have the right opportunity, we will all go over. The business here will be handed over to Tian Donghua,” said Yang Ming.

“We’ll do according to what you say!” Sun Hongjun didn’t expect to have an opportunity to put a grand plan into the effort. He thought he would retire after this incident. From this incident, Sun Hongjun also understood his weakness. He did not know how to restrain his subordinates, so it caused such a huge consequence.

Now, since Yang Ming said he did not have to care about the subordinates and could just focus on doing things according to his plans, Sun Hongjun was saved a lot of trouble. Although he did not know how Yang Ming restrained those subordinates, he assumed that these subordinates were afraid of Yang Ming.

With Sun Hongjun’s plan in place, they happily went out of the office. Sun San naturally did not ask anything; he knew the rules, but Sun Jie was not very happy. The feeling of Yang Ming talking to her father behind her back was not good.

“Dad, what were you talking about? You talked for so long.” Sun Jie couldn’t help but ask.

“Hehe, Yang Ming is going to send me, this old man, to Africa!” said Sun Hongjun as he smiled.

“What? Africa? What’s this?” Sun Jie was unclear after hearing it.

Sun Hongjun glanced at Yang Ming, and he saw Yang Ming nod slightly, so Sun Hongjun told Sun Jie everything. Sun Jie immediately clicked her tongue after hearing about it. Sun Jie never thought that Yang Ming actually had an island in Africa. As she thought of Yang Ming hiding it from her, she couldn’t help but glare at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was really aggrieved. “Little Jie, this is the island that I got when I left last time. Before I had a chance to talk to you after I came back, you were under house arrest by Tian Long.”

After listening to Yang Ming’s explanation, Sun Jie was relieved. She wasn’t petty, but now that she had already set her mind on Yang Ming, she felt that she was already one of Yang Ming’s women, and Yang Ming should not hide things from her anymore.

This was the transformation of Sun Jie’s mentality; she did not even notice it.

“Uncle Sun, don’t you want to see Tian Long?” Yang Ming glanced at Sun Hongjun and asked.

Sun Hongjun heard Yang Ming’s words and hesitated in his heart. He knew that Yang Ming also planned to get Tian Long to Africa. That was Yang Ming’s territory, and naturally, he was not afraid of Tian Long playing other tricks.

However, Sun Hongjun still couldn’t forgive him, even though Yang Ming had decided not to deal with Tian Long.

“Then, let’s go see him…” Sun Hongjun hesitated again and again before making a decision.

“This guy has a lot of ideas. When he goes to Africa, he can be your good-for-nothing advisor.” Yang Ming smiled and said.

“Then, aren’t you afraid that he will plan any tricks again?” Sun Hongjun was still worried about Tian Long.

“Hehe, if he can bribe my men, then he is capable.” Yang Ming snorted and said. He thought, Even if Tian Long gives them a lot of money, they will not dare to joke with their lives!

Sun Hongjun also nodded. He also thought that Yang Ming was confident for a reason; that was why he would be so reassured about Tian Long.

The two of them walked together to Tian Long’s room. Yang Ming naturally had a reason to look for Tian Long. Yang Ming wanted to wait for Tian Long to calm down completely before he asked about the behind-the-scenes boss.

Against Tian Long, Yang Ming really didn’t have much hatred because he was just a pawn of the behind-the-scenes boss; his true opponent was the behind-the-scenes boss!
