Qin Ming racked his brain, but he could not find anyone in Qin Island capable of matching up to Chen Yan's financial prowess...
After all, it was rare to find young wealthy heirs who could casually throw around tens of millions as pocket money.
And those who could, on a whim, buy two entire floors of the Fenghua Building were even scarcer.
According to Qin Ming's estimate, the Fenghua Building was valued at roughly between eight hundred million to nine hundred million. Its price fluctuated based on the market and the situations of both the buyer and seller.
But even at the lowest estimate, two floors would be worth around one hundred million.
So, how much would someone who could afford to buy two floors be truly worth?
And how much money would the parents who could give one or two hundred million to their child to play around with have?
Qin Ming pondered and felt that such a person must belong to one of the top-tier conglomerates or prominent families on Qin Island.
Otherwise... this person might hail from another province or even from major cities like the Magic City or Tiandu...
Regardless of which it was, for Qin Ming, anyone capable of such feats was someone he needed to befriend and curry favor with.
With this in mind, his gaze towards Chen Yan grew even warmer...
After visiting the two floors with Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan had a rough idea of his assets.
He, Yu Qiao Qiao, and Qin Ming took the elevator down with plans to go back and discuss moving with Yang Rou.
Watching Chen Yan about to leave, Qin Ming, who had been very attentive throughout, took out his business card from his wallet and handed it to Chen Yan with both hands, "Big brother! This is my business card. If there's anything you find inconvenient to do, or want to inquire about, you can reach out to me."
"There are big things here on Qin Island I might not be able to handle, but for the little things, it's much simpler to come to me than going straight to the various conglomerates."
"I'm familiar with a lot of the young masters and mistresses here too."
Chen Yan looked at the business card in Qin Ming's hand.
He actually had no bad feelings towards Qin Ming. After all, it's hard to truly dislike someone who's been licking your boots since you first met them.
The only issue was...
Chen Yan glanced at Qin Ming and asked, "Are you really He Ruifeng's nephew?"
Perhaps because Qin Ming had lied to Chen Yan at the beginning, Chen Yan still harbored some doubts about whether he was a swindler.
Qin Ming nodded vigorously and even raised three fingers swearing, "Really! I truly am He Ruifeng's nephew! If I'm lying, may thunder strike me down!"
Chen Yan didn't believe in any thunder strikes or oaths. However... he believed in Headphones.
So, Chen Yan directly activated Headphones to listen to Qin Ming's inner thoughts.
For a moment, the surroundings seemed to fade away, leaving only the sound of Qin Ming's heartbeat "thump, thump, thump..." in Chen Yan's ears.
The voice in Chen Yan's ears also conveyed Qin Ming's thoughts,
"Ahh! If only I hadn't shown off that day! My mouth got me into trouble and made the big shot suspicious."
"I really am my uncle's nephew! And we're as close as a father and son!"
Chen Yan glanced at Qin Ming and then reached out to take the business card, saying, "Okay then. I believe you."
A look of joy appeared in Qin Ming's eyes.
Feeling as though all his efforts had finally paid off, the mysterious wealthy young man before him finally believed him!
There was indeed a reason behind Qin Ming's efforts.
Truly, he was He Ruifeng's nephew, and He Ruifeng did indeed favor him. However... a nephew is still a nephew, not a son.
His mother had married out, and he was not a member of the He family. Thus, after becoming an adult, he could not lay claim to a cent of the He family's wealth.
Although his family's financial situation was decent, it was only in the tens of millions.
Qin Ming, who had always been sharp, knew exactly whom to rely on to change his life.
As a child, he had clung to his uncle, and after graduating from university, he took the initiative to work alongside him and keep him company.
Later, leveraging his status as a semi-He family member, Qin Ming gradually entered the circle of Qin Island's most elite second-generation elite.
Subsequently, Qin Ming started doing small business transactions, by connecting different families and then taking brokerage fees or small cuts in businesses.
Or sometimes, he'd handle matters the second-generation elite found inconvenient, building up favors.
With this accumulation of connections and reputation, he became somewhat known among the top second-generation elite, despite not having a lofty status. His networking abilities, in turn, helped him secure a foothold within the He family and allowed his uncle to gradually incline more resources towards him, aiding his faster development.
But Qin Ming's shrewdness didn't end there.
He knew the He family was large and, as a nephew, he would always be one step removed. If he were too outstanding or gained He Ruifeng's favor too much, it could easily lead to jealousy and wariness within the He family.
So, he made himself appear a bit more boisterous, engaging in some outrageous acts.
Like "youthful arrogance" when competing to buy luxury watches.
Or deliberately telling people he was He Ruifeng's son, making him seem vain and unappreciative of the gravity of matters.
As such, though he had many vulnerabilities, he could live more comfortably in the He family and gain more trust.
Being granted such opportunities for development, he, of course, continued to use this facade to network with more useful people and amass more resources.
Thus, Chen Yan—a person who seemed very wealthy and mysterious—became his target for networking.
In fact, for some reason, Qin Ming always had a premonition, stronger even than when he had first met He Ruifeng as a child, that Chen Yan would be his benefactor.
That was the reason for his persistent clinging to Chen Yan...
At this point, Chen Yan was unaware that Qin Ming already saw him as his benefactor. He took the business card and examined it.
There was nothing else on it.
Just Qin Ming's name and a telephone number.
But that business card was not ordinary—slightly heavy to the touch with a gilt material, it exuded a high-end feel.
Chen Yan pocketed the business card and was just about to say farewell to the nephew of Qin Island's richest man. However, he suddenly remembered the issue that had been bothering him lately: the multilingual translation of the game and a full platform release.
He turned to look at Qin Ming and then asked, "Your name is Qin Ming, right?"
Qin Ming quickly nodded his head.
Chen Yan asked, "You said you have a lot of resources, right?"
Qin Ming nodded again, "Yes. A lot."
Chen Yan asked, "Do you have resources for game translators who excel in various languages, voice actors from different countries, and connections within the gaming platform industry?"
Hearing Chen Yan's requirements, Qin Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded decisively, "Yes!"
He said, "There's no need for others to be involved. My cousin can take care of it!"
"She's the He family's young miss. Currently the vice president of the Group's International Trade Department. She oversees ties with foreign partners."
"Among those partners, many are involved in translation-related businesses."
"With her paving the way, it'll be completely feasible to collaborate with them. And through them, it will be very easy to find corresponding language voice actors for games."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Chen Yan pondered for a while.
It seemed, indeed, to be an option.
However, he wasn't the type to believe everything Qin Ming said. He asked, "What exactly is your cousin like?"
"I remember you mentioning that she seemed to be a bit of a violent type."
Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Qin Ming felt awkward again.
He truly wished he could punch his own mouth.
Outside, he always played the role of being blunt and often landed in such contradictions.
It just happened a bit more frequently with Chen Yan.
He cleared his throat and said, "My cousin is He Mengxue. She's my uncle's only daughter. Actually, she has a good personality, is generous and righteous, shrewd in business, and has exceptional management talents. She's the official successor of the group and also the boss lady among Qin Island's second-generation elite."
"But... she's liked Martial Arts since she was young and has trained under a renowned master. So if we, her juniors, offend her, she'll 'lash out' and teach us a lesson."
"Of course, her work demeanor is completely different. You can rest assured."
Chen Yan still didn't fully trust Qin Ming; he just nodded slightly to acknowledge.
He felt he needed to consider it carefully.
Perhaps sensing Chen Yan's distrust, Qin Ming thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, brother, you probably haven't had much contact with our Qin Island circle, right?"
"We're organizing a welcome banquet next week. The main guest of honor will be Zhao Ying, the young miss of the Zhao Family from Qin Island."
"Her father is the regional president of the Zhao Group in Qindong Province, extremely powerful."
"This time, for her 18th birthday, her father is bringing her out to meet with us."
"If you're interested, I can get you an invitation. Why don't you come and take a look?"
"My cousin will be there too. You can observe her first. If you find it feasible, I can help you get in touch with her."
