Tianjing City West Fourth Loop, Imperial Hotel, in the premium VIP room.

“Young Master, they’ve been taken down, all taken down!” The CEO of Hongda Real Estate Company, Li Yuankai, was excitedly reporting to Ko Gohon. “That prodigal Dali has sold all his land to us except that piece of land at Fengyuan Lake. It cost a total of 7,888,888,888. Once we get these pieces of land, as long as we properly develop them, it’d probably not be an issue for it to bring in 4 to 5 billion yuan of earnings within a few years time!”

“Good!” Upon hearing Li Yuankai’s report, Ko Gohon excitedly slammed his palm down and said, “Good job! We must develop these pieces of land well! Along with those other projects which will subsequently be carried out one by one, humph humph, after everything has been expanded to a certain extent, I’ll show Hong Dali clearly that he’s nothing but a piece of garbage! I’m the only Young Master in this world!”

“Young Master, then I’ll go and arrange the other matters regarding the contract.” Li Yuankai hurriedly said.

“Go, and handle this matter well.” Ko Gohon said with satisfaction, “I’ll personally tip you with 10 million USD.”

“Thank you, My Lord!” Li Yuankai had also learned this classic line of expressing his gratitude…

After Li Yuankai had left, Ko Gohon waved his hand. “Come in!”

“Young Master, I’m here.” A bodyguard answered his call for him and came forward, saying, “Young Master, please let me know your orders.”

“Tell me about the latest progression of things.” Ko Gohon slowly said, “Be more specific.”

“OK.” The bodyguard took out a document and started reporting one by one. “Negotiations have all been completed for the hotel and singer aspects. The negotiations for the online novel website has been successful too, and currently, they are carrying out the compilation of information and data. In 10 days, a press conference can most probably be called for.”

“Mm, very good.” Ko Gohon asked, “What about the film company?”

“We’ve already successfully bought over three film companies, and currently, they are undergoing restructuring,” The bodyguard reported. “We have taken the approach of collaborating with these three film companies through injecting our investments and becoming their majority stockholder. At the moment, preparations are already ongoing for a big budget movie, with the budget being around 40 million USD or so. All three companies will work together to complete it, and it’s estimated its official debut will be at the end of this year. But if Young Master finds it urgent, you can consider adding these budget to the sci-fi film, ‘Iron X-Men,’ which is currently in the filming process. In that case, its estimated debut screening would be within three months time.”

“It must be fast.” Ko Gohon instantly decided. “It must be as fast as the strong winds blowing down the leaves, blowing down all those things that Hong Dali had started up. When will the Holy Warriors of the Goddess that he’s filming be screened? Attack his box office!”

“OK, Young Master.” The bodyguard meticulously noted down Ko Gohon’s words, and after which, he continued to report, “We’ve already purchased more than 51% of the shares of the beverage company. Currently, it’s improvising on its recipe to manufacture the drinks, and everything is secretly being carried out.”

“OK, it must be fast!” Ko Gohon nodded. “It must be fast! Ask the subordinates to start preparations for the variety show right away. I remember that ‘I Am a Singer’ is going to end soon, right? We must catch them off guard before it comes to an end!”

“Yes!” The bodyguard nodded. “‘I Am a Singer’ will be entering the last few phases after the 15th of this month, and there are four episodes left before it ends. The newly added singers for the third and second last episodes have not been announced yet. If we want to take action, it would be the best time to start doing so before the third last episode.”

“OK, start the promotions and advertisements right away. Get Min Feiyao to hurry up and hold a concert as soon as possible. Make the scene of the concert more explosive, and after the popularity has been increased, immediately start the program.” Ko Gohon fiercely said, “Let Hong Dali’s ‘I Am a Singer’ go to hell!”

“Yes!” The bodyguard instantly stood at attention and answered, “I have noted it down.”

“Stop currying favor.” Ko Gohon humphed. “What about the online gaming aspect?”

“Young Master,” The bodyguard lowered his head. “About online gaming, we’ve already chosen four extremely good-quality games. Currently, all negotiations have been completed, and we’ve opened the promotion and advertisement channels with a few big web portals. Everything can start as long as Young Master gives the order.”

“OK!” Ko Gohon slightly squinted his eyes and said, “Make all the preparations. Now that we’ve already bought all of Hong Dali’s land, I’ll give you 10 days to make a big enough scene at Min Feiyao’s concert. Then, starting from the first two days of the last three episodes of ‘I Am a Singer,’ corner Hong Dali in all aspects! Oh right, for the cars, decrease the prices by a further 3% to crush Tianying Car Company as well! Also!” Ko Gohon fiercely waved his hand. “Ask the two that went to Hong Dali’s school previously to make their moves, and find trouble with Hong Dali!”

“Yes!” The bodyguard instantly turned and left.

Hong Family estate, Forest Capital, in the small conference room.

The three elders, Hong Tu, Hong Wei and Hong Ying were all present. Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie had arrived as well.

Laptops, documents, and files, as well as other necessary things such as projectors and maps, had all been prepared.

“I’ve already told all of you about the current situation. Now, our three families can be said to be comrades on the same side, and the enemy, for the time being, is Jaban State’s Toyoda Car Company.” Hong Tu pointed at the projector screen and then looked towards Liu Yihui and Mu Tie, as he slowly said, “Initially, this enemy wasn’t really related to the two of you. But I trust that that child Dali would not disappoint us in this, so I could only invite the two of you to come over and help to advise on this matter.”

“Mm, Old Elder is too polite.” Liu Yihui smiled. “There’s no need to mention the matter previously between our two families. It’s all over. My father also often instructs me to visit you whenever I have the opportunity.” Dali could be seen as the person that had cured the illness of Liu Yihui’s father, Liu Zhongyuan. He’d all along kept this in mind.

“Hehe, it’s all Dali’s random things.” Hong Tu grinned and stroked his mustache. “Let’s not talk about all these. Do the two of you have any thoughts regarding Dali selling all his land this time?”

Mu Tie frowned and carefully thought about it. Then, he gradually said, “I only know that Dali basically doesn’t suffer losses when he squanders. But though he’s purely doing all these things for the fun of squandering, all his ideas are good, such that there is sure to be benefits as well if we properly expand and develop on them. But this time, he sold all his land at once, which I don’t really understand why. Weiguo,” Speaking up to this point, Mu Tie asked Hong Weiguo, “Dali hadn’t handled so much money in his previous acts of squandering, right?”

“No.” Hong Weiguo nodded. “According to Dali’s previous squandering targets, tens of millions are already considered high. Who would have thought that this time, he actually sold all those pieces of land? I’m confused about this too, or perhaps he sensed something or there’s some kind of news that we don’t know about.”

“By right, you should know all his encounters.” Liu Yihui touched his chin and said, “The prospects of these pieces of land are all extremely big, and it’s very evident that according to Dali’s usual personality, he’s not someone rash. Usually speaking, he may consider doing things that he feels would be fun. What would he gain from selling land?”

After Liu Yihui had said this, the others were rather puzzled as well.

By right, if Hong Dali had discovered any fun things, it was understandable if he threw tens of millions into it. But this time, he’d sold all the land, which made it rather out of the blue.

“Oh right, this time Dali didn’t do his usual style of rounding up the number when he sold the land. He sold it for this figure, 7,888,888,888.” Hong Weiguo slowly said, “Old Liu, Old Tie, do you see any special significance to this figure?”

“Oh? It’s truly a little different.” Liu Yihui asked, “Back then, what did he say when he talked about this number?”

“He just said that this number is very auspicious.” Hong Weiguo shook his head. “He didn’t say anything else. I also didn’t ask. I’ve never questioned anything regarding this child’s squanderings, and even if I ask him, I wouldn’t get any answer out of it too. He’d definitely not know it himself.”

“He does everything according to how he feels?” Mu Tie thought for a while, then he suddenly smiled. “Hehe, I feel that we’re all a bit too sensitive. Moreover, it’s obvious that we still lack something in this analysis.”

“What do we lack?” Hong Tu was curious. “The three of you can be said to be the smartest three in the entire Tianjing City. If even the three of you fail to analyze it, others would probably find it very difficult as well, right?”

“No.” Mu Tie smiled. “We still lack a type of person. What we’ve thought all along was what benefits would there be from Dali selling the land. But we’ve forgotten that Dali could be basing it on his instincts and avoiding some risks. We should get someone who’s cunning and likes to scheme, and thinks about everything towards the negative aspects, to come and provide his opinion. With both a positive and negative analysis, that would be the best.”

“It makes sense!” Upon hearing Mu Tie’s words, Hong Weiguo laughed heartily. “It does seem to be the case. We’ve all along thought about how Dali’s ideas could earn money, and that his ideas are good and he’s very lucky as well, so everything his does will bring great benefits. But yet, we’ve forgotten that he could be doing this because he was heading towards another direction, which is to avoid risks.”

This could be said to have opened up another way of thinking.

Everyone knew that Dali was lucky, but yet their attention was limited to the potential benefits that could be gained. Now, what Mu Tie meant was very simple. Sometimes, it was also a type of luck to avoid risks based on instincts.

“Mm, we do have such a person!” Hong Tu clapped his hands. “Go and bring Jianye here!”

“Yes, Old Elder.”

In no time, Hong Weiguo’s fourth brother, Hong Jianye, casually pushed the door open and walked in. Once he entered the conference room, he took out a cigarette and lit it, then crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa, as he smiled and said, “I didn’t think the day would come when I’d be useful to you. That’s really not easy.” As he spoke, he looked at Hong Tu. “Dad, you should’ve at least asked me out to have a walk. It’s really suffocating to stay in here, and if it really can’t be done, you could ask my wife to come over and accompany me for a few days…”

“You rascal, we’re studying into a serious matter.” Hong Tu harshly said, “You’re never serious throughout your entire life.”

“Oh, a serious matter, what matter would I be of use to?” Hong Jianye was curious too. These people seated in front of him were the three big magnates in the local internet industry. Could he be involved in something that even the three of them failed to understand?

“I have to squander; otherwise, won’t it be a waste of my parent’s talent at earning money?” Hong Dali answers a reporter’s question matter-of-factly.

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System’s interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, “I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I’ll have to work harder!”

“I want to splurge! I want to squander!”
