Chapter 799 Everyone is Shocked
"Uncle Shen, hello." Lin Feng, on the video call, first greeted Shen Tian who is Shen Yao’s father. No matter what, he should always greet him first.
"Lin Feng, what’s the matter?" Shen Tian was originally working in his office when his mobile phone suddenly rang, which puzzled him greatly. The number of people who knew this phone number was very limited. He quickly picked up the phone, and upon seeing the caller ID, Shen Tian was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to call him out of the blue, and it came as a surprise to him. What could Lin Feng possibly want from him?
"Uncle Shen, it’s like this: I don’t have time to manage the project that Lin Family Village and Shen Corporation are jointly developing, so I’ve found a proxy—Huang Shi here. From now on, he will be fully in charge of the project on that side. Do you think that’s okay?" Lin Feng didn’t hesitate at all and directly explained his intention. For someone like Shen Tian, the simpler and more direct, the more effective the conversation. After speaking, Lin Feng also tilted the camera towards Huang Shi, allowing Shen Tian on the other end of the call to take a glance.
"Hmm, no problem. I know you’re quite busy. When you have time, come to Yuegang and visit, Lin Feng."
Shen Tian, upon hearing Lin Feng say so, agreed without hesitation. Shen Tian was very familiar with Lin Feng’s situation, and someone he had his children keep an eye on was certainly someone he would investigate. He was also aware of who Huang Shi was—the sole underling of Lin Feng and the heir of the Huang Group. Lin Feng’s formal entrustment of Lin Family Village’s affairs to Huang Shi indicated that Huang Shi had become an absolutely trustworthy individual; otherwise, Lin Feng would not have done so. Since that was the case, why would he object? Besides, Shen Tian knew that Lin Feng was usually extremely busy and simply didn’t have the energy to participate in management.
Therefore, having Huang Shi handle the related matters had become an inevitable solution. Shen Tian also strongly supported Lin Feng’s decision. Having someone step forward to manage business affairs on behalf of Lin Feng was undoubtedly more beneficial than harmful. Moreover, Huang Shi himself was the heir to the Huang Group and had considerable advantages in the business sphere. With Huang Shi’s support, it was indeed a good thing for Lin Feng.
"All right, Uncle Shen, I will definitely visit when I have time. For now, I’ll let you continue with your work," Lin Feng said courteously, seeing that Shen Tian had agreed, and then hung up the phone. He promptly dialed Senior Sister Chu Meng’s number afterward.
"Senior sister, how many companies and enterprises do we have now?" Lin Feng directly asked his senior sister. Ever since she came back, she had been taking initiatives from time to time, and Lin Feng had no idea how much money or how many companies and enterprises she had acquired. Considering this, Lin Feng straightforwardly inquired, seeking to understand the current scale of their operations.
"Junior brother, we currently have 17 listed companies and 9 industrial groups. As for the small-scale ones worth less than a hundred million US dollars, I haven’t counted them. What are you planning to do, junior brother?" Chu Meng was curious upon hearing Lin Feng’s question. Why was her junior brother asking about this? Looking at him through the video call, Chu Meng could tell that Lin Feng was serious, which meant he was about to deal with something important, so she quickly gave him a brief update on the situation.
"Okay, senior sister, let Huang Shi manage those companies under our name. We don’t have the energy to deal with these things."
Lin Feng was surprised to hear about the number of companies from his senior sister. He hadn’t expected her to move so fast in such a short amount of time, creating so many companies. No wonder she told him they could mobilize funds below twenty billion whenever needed. But all that was not important because the remaining businesses would be handed over to Huang Shi. With Huang Shi supporting them, it wouldn’t be long before he and his senior sister would be occupied with other matters, which gave them even less reason to concern themselves with these companies. It was very appropriate to hand them over to Huang Shi at this time.
"Okay, no problem. I’ve actually been quite bothered with this situation myself. Since I can’t appear and you’re not involved, I’ve been considering selling them. Now that there’s someone to manage, it’s not a bad option," Chu Meng said upon hearing Lin Feng’s arrangement, showing no surprise. She had met Huang Shi several times and thought highly of him. To see that the heir of the Huang Group was willing to be Lin Feng’s subordinate showed that he had been fully recognized by her junior brother. As one of their own now, there would be no issues with letting Huang Shi manage these businesses.
Moreover, as Chu Meng said, she had been particularly troubled recently. She had inadvertently acquired too many enterprises and with nobody to manage them at hand, and since she couldn’t be the face of it while Lin Feng was so busy, she really did plan on selling them off. Now that Huang Shi was taking over, it couldn’t be more ideal, so Chu Meng agreed to the arrangement without a second thought.
"That’s settled then. I’ll send you the power of attorney when I have the time. Thanks for taking care of the rest, senior sister," Lin Feng said, adding a final detail before hanging up the phone. Looking at Huang Shi, who was still standing there in a daze, he patted Huang Shi’s shoulder as a sign for him to snap back to reality. On the other end of the line, Chu Meng got busy with the necessary procedures since handling so many companies was not something that could be done in an instant.
What, Lin Feng Group...
Shen... Shen Corporation? The Shen Corporation in Yuegang?
What! Seventeen listed companies, nine industrial groups...
My God! Is this real or fake? How can Lin Feng possibly be this rich...
...
Inside the room, except for Lin Feng and Huang Shi who were outside, everyone who heard Lin Feng’s voice over the phone was immediately stunned with disbelief because they could never have imagined that Lin Feng was indeed telling the truth. It was simply too exaggerated, too incredible for people to believe. How could Lin Feng possibly possess such enormous wealth? This was just too exaggerated, far beyond belief...
The Lin Feng Group had risen just last year as a chemical industry conglomerate and was Lin Feng’s own family business. That much was understandable; the name was right there after all. Lin Feng really didn’t want to get involved, and letting Huang Shi manage it seemed reasonable enough. Lin Feng’s mother and Lin Feng himself had said that they handed it over to Huang Shi because they didn’t have time to manage it, but...the issue was that the Lin Feng Group’s growth prospects were simply too promising. Its products were in such high demand that in just over half a year, its assets had multiplied several times over, heading straight for the ten-billion mark. What kind of concept was that!
It could be said that Lin Feng Group alone was already worth half of the Huang Family’s empire. Lin Feng so casually handed over the management to Huang Shi, as if it were as simple as handing over a key. This was simply unbelievable. If it were anyone else, they would never let go so easily, handing such a massive conglomerate over to an outsider was something they could never do. Yet Lin Feng did just that, and they couldn’t understand why Lin Feng trusted Huang Shi so much...
And then the things they heard next were even more incredulous. What did the Yuegang Shen Corporation represent? It was a mega cross-national corporation worth over a hundred billion, after all. Could any project in collaboration with Shen Corporation be considered small? At the very least, it would involve investments of tens of billions. Furthermore, they had all heard with their own ears that Lin Feng wanted Huang Shi to take charge of this project. Lin Feng was far too bold. The Lin Feng Group was already on the right track, letting Huang Shi take charge was forgivable, but this project sounded like it was currently underway. If Huang Shi messed up in any way, the consequences would be unthinkable!
How could Lin Feng trust Huang Shi so much with such a project, to think not at all before giving it directly to Huang Shi? If they were given that opportunity, and if the project were successfully completed, they could then forge a relationship with the Shen Family, and the Huang Family’s status would surely rise. Thinking this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a surge of crazy jealousy...
After they listened to the third phone call, everyone was shocked by what they heard from Senior Sister Chu Meng and stood frozen. They could never have imagined that Lin Feng had such an impressive senior sister. She oversaw 17 listed companies, 9 industrial conglomerates, and numerous other companies with a scale under a billion US dollars. What kind of wealth was that? It was probably incalculable. At the most conservative estimate, she definitely had tens of billions, and if those listed companies were about the same scale as Lin Feng Group, then this fortune would surely surpass a hundred billion!
To put it bluntly, there were probably not many individuals in the whole country with such wealth. It was simply too bizarre. How could a woman possibly possess so much wealth? Just who was Lin Feng’s senior sister, and how could she possibly have amassed such wealth? It was truly beyond belief!
Three phone calls, each one shocking them to their core, their expressions changing suddenly. Now, they all felt their hearts nearly leap out of their chests in shock. Previously, they didn’t believe Lin Feng’s claim that he could acquire the Huang Group, but now, after hearing what Lin Feng had said, they were filled with doubts. Lin Feng... how did Lin Feng amass such wealth? How was this possible? If Lin Feng were really that powerful, then why had he no fame to speak of in Tianhai?
The people of the Huang Family all looked at Lin Feng, struggling to understand how he could possess so much wealth. They now accepted that Lin Feng was indeed wealthy, but the thought of him acquiring the Huang Group still seemed unbelievable to them...
"Lin Feng, are you saying it’s as simple as you make it out to be?"
"Exactly, just making a phone call, does that mean you own so much property? Couldn’t you be lying to us?"
"Lin Feng, how do you prove that what you just said is true?"
"Exactly, Lin Feng is so young, even if he were rich, it’s impossible for him to acquire the Huang Group."
...
The younger members of the Huang Family were still grilling Lin Feng with clenched teeth. In their eyes, even if Lin Feng were capable, he couldn’t possibly have such terrifying wealth. However, their tone had clearly lost some of its initial conviction because by now, they were genuinely afraid, afraid that what Lin Feng said was true. If that were the case, then the Huang Group might actually cease to exist tonight...
