Chapter 631 629: Sect Leader Huo Yanggen
"Uh... Feifei, you didn't just want to talk to me about this, did you?" Lin Mu glanced at Sophie.Sophie was a smart person; if it were just this trivial matter, she wouldn't have needed to meet him separately to discuss it—a phone call would have sufficed!
"Of course, it's not just about this. I have a tourism project on Huashan that's run into some problems, and I want you to go over there. Register a company first, then take over and handle it. It would make solving this matter much easier," Sophie said.
"Huashan?"
Lin Mu was taken aback. He had originally planned with Zhou Xun to go there after finishing filming 'Palace Locks Liancheng,' and the two of them were going to explore Huashan together!
"Yes, the investment and construction of the Huashan scenic spot. I have invested capital, but my partner has withdrawn and no longer intends to develop the tourism industry. I see this as an opportunity for you to take over from him. As you know, the industry in the Pearl River Delta keeps me busy enough, so I think you could try your luck there!" Sophie suggested.
Lin Mu knew that Huashan was a national first-level tourist attraction, with endless tourists all year round. From ancient times, there's only been one road up Huashan! If he could control the road resources, it would be like discovering a gold mine! Moreover, the attractions of Huashan are already mostly perfect. If the Flying Dragon Group took over, they would essentially have a ready-made money-spinner, with daily tourists numbering in the tens of thousands! Building a road to the foot of Huashan would mean a rolling income!
And now, all Lin Mu needed to do was to invest some money to take over, saving the time and expense of early construction, and it would essentially be like directly collecting money!
"Hehe, Feifei, you're giving me a gold mine here. I'll take this project!" Lin Mu grinned.
If someone else had proposed this, Lin Mu might still consider it, fearing they might cheat him, but with Sophie suggesting it, Lin Mu had no doubts. Wouldn't his playful wife cheat her future husband?
"Alright then, it's settled. In a few days, find some time to go there. However, there are some local black forces you need to be cautious of. But of course, it shouldn't be much of a problem for you," Sophie said.
"Hehe, are there black forces too?"
"Of course, wherever there's money to be made, there are black forces infiltrating. They're everywhere!" Sophie laughed.
"What's the situation there specifically? Could you brief me?" Lin Mu asked.
Sophie nodded, saying, "The main boss of Huashan Tourism Co., Ltd., Fan Boxiong, is a partner of mine. In the early stages of the project, due to financial constraints, I invested some money as equity, and I can get some dividends from the company annually. Initially, there was also a local person involved. The entire tourism company was essentially founded by the three of us. Of course, I'm not involved in management, just collecting dividends annually. Now Fan Boxiong wants to transfer the Huashan tourism project, but the local person wants to take over, offering a low price. So Fan Boxiong wants to transfer it to someone else, but everyone fears this local person due to his mafia background, so no one dares to take over. That's the problem."
After Sophie explained, Lin Mu understood. It was simply that the influential local partner offered little money and wanted to transfer it to someone else, but others feared that gangster!
"Alright, no problem. It's a small matter!" Lin Mu nodded and took it on.
"In that case, let's settle this. I'll contact Fan Boxiong within these days and negotiate the price," Sophie nodded.
"No problem, I'll head over there within these days, wade through these murky waters, and see how deep it gets!" Lin Mu said.
Meanwhile, in the West District of Wancheng, in an old-style quadrangle courtyard, a fight was taking place. Four burly men were attacking a lean middle-aged man. Although the middle-aged man was about forty years old and slightly lean, he exuded an intimidating power!
Bam! An immense force erupted in all directions, and the four burly men charging at him were blasted away by the lean middle-aged man! Standing still, the middle-aged man regulated his breathing, and the formidable aura he emitted quickly faded away. At that moment, a butler came forward, handing the master a towel.
The middle-aged man took the towel and wiped the sweat from his brow, while the four burly men got up from the ground, dusting off their clothes, "Sect Leader, your power now is unmatched in the world!"
These burly men were Huo Yanggen's trusted aides, each managing one of the divisions. They were an essential force for Huo Yanggen, and though easily defeated by him, they were by no means mediocre. They were powerful figures who could dominate the martial world! Huo Yanggen valued them highly, naming his divisions after them: Golden Monkey Division, Silver Snake Division, Copper Lion Division, and Iron Bull Division, showing how much he treasured them—they could be considered his beloved generals.
"Don't flatter me! I know I'm still not as good as those masters in the underground world, not even close!" Huo Yanggen was well aware of the many talents in the underground world, where each mountain is higher than the last. Blowing one's own trumpet would only lead to embarrassment. Not to mention others, even the recently emerged East City Flying Dragon Sect leader Lin Mu was an extraordinary character. It's said that his skills are remarkable, and in the past seven years, his whereabouts and developments were mysterious, yet lately, he's been making waves in Wancheng's underworld, seemingly omnipotent!
Moreover, it's rumored that his grandfather was a legendary figure in the martial world. Huo Yanggen had once tested his skills and found them unfathomable, with no one in the martial world able to gauge his depths. It was because of this that Huo Yanggen insisted on practicing daily to enhance his abilities. Through persistent effort over the years, his power had significantly increased. Previously, he would struggle in a one-on-one with the Four Great Division Chiefs, but now he could win with a single move. The improvement in Huo Yanggen's power was simply astonishing!
This was also why Huo Yanggen wasn't threatened by the Four Great Hall Masters. Not only did he add four divisions, but he also armed himself economically. His financial and personal strengths had grown. Of course, the strength of the Four Great Hall Masters couldn't be underestimated either. They managed Heaven and Earth Society's veteran hooligans, who had fought their way through street battles and were fearless!
Thus, unless there was a significant conflict of interest, Huo Yanggen wouldn't generally clash with the Four Great Hall Masters, and they wouldn't lightly cause trouble for Huo Yanggen. Both parties maintained a stance of non-interference, avoiding crossing the Han River boundary.
"I doubt there is anyone in Wancheng who can match the Sect Leader," said the Golden Monkey Hall Master, Golden Monkey.
