Very soon, Hong Tu explained the whole matter to Hong Jianye. After which, he asked, “Try to analyze what this exactly means.”.

“Just this? And all of you have failed to figure it out?” Hong Jianye slapped his thigh and roared with laughter. “I thought it was a difficult matter. Dali is obviously diverting the risks, how simple a matter is that.”

“Diverting the risks?” Hong Weiguo instantly understood. “You’re trying to say that Dali has diverted all the risks of developing the land to Hongda Real Estate Company? Mm, it makes sense. If Hongda Real Estate Company is able to fork out such a lump sum of money at once, it’d most probably mean that Toyoda Conglomerate is backing it up. But what risks are there in developing the land?” He was in charge of IT, thus it was normal that he didn’t really have a good understanding regarding real estates.

“Of course, there’s a risk.” Hong Jianye took a puff. “What out there there’s no risk involved in this day and age? Can you guarantee that a problem won’t appear with those pieces of land? Who can guarantee that absolutely nothing will go wrong layer by layer down the road, starting from when you give your orders, and then the real estate department allocates the resources, then finding the construction team, and then the little groups under the construction team? Fifth brother, one piece of land has earned 6.5 billion yuan within just a few months time, it’s not a small amount. Though Dali is a squanderer, he’s also very sly. All sorts of abilities will have to kneel down in front of that exceeding luck of his. I was the one who suffered the most from that, so do you think I’d not be able to understand him? Heh heh.”

Did this mean that the more the person was like an enemy, the more he or she would understand you?

“Mm, that’s true.” Now Liu Yihui realized what a piece of work this Hong Jianye was. “Then Jianye, what you can get out of this matter?”

“I can’t.” Unexpectedly, Hong Jianye shook his head resolutely. “That little rascal Dali is literally so mysteriously unpredictable that you cannot figure him out no matter how you think about it. Could you guess that he would raise dogs until the surrounding people were willing to move houses? You couldn’t, right? Could you guess that he’d use so many sports cars to promote Li Nianwei without spending a single cent on the lightings? You couldn’t too, right? So, giving up on guessing about this fellow is the best choice to make. It’s pointless to kill so many of your brain cells by guessing about this.”

Hong Jianye’s words made everyone stunned. However, upon careful thought, this was really the case.

Hong Dali had always said that squandering took skills. It was truly not easy to guess what this fellow was up to.

“Then we’ll just wait and do nothing? And wait for some matter to fall down from the sky onto our heads?” Hong Weiguo said in shock, “This is not our style of doing things. We can’t do things that we’re not confident about.”

“Of course, I’m not asking you all to wait and do nothing,” Hong Jianye smiled and said, “7.888.888.888, which sounds like ‘Qu Fa Fa(go and develop).’ How simple is this…”

“It’s this simple?!” Hong Tu and the rest had racked their brains so hard to analyze this figure, but now Hong Jianye made it sound so simple… This didn’t make sense!

“Of course,” Hong Jianye answered matter-of-factly. “Dali is not the scheming type, so at most, he felt that Ko Gohon was backing that Hongda Company. Thus, he transferred the risks. Think about it, in order to develop those pieces of land, it’ll take 5 to 8 years, right? With such a long period of time, it would be much better to take this 8 billion of cash, which is enough to invest in other big projects. In the worst case, he can put the money on loan, and he won’t suffer many losses, right? For instance, if there is ten percent interest for loaning the money, one year would bring in 800 million, five years would bring in 4 billion, and the interest would still increase through the years. Look at how stable things are now. That’s cash, mind you!”

“What you’re saying is that things are this simple this time?” Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie listened till they were dumbfounded.

“Of course, it’s simple.” Hong Jianye said with certainty. “That little rascal Dali is just too bored and feels like squandering, then, a fool came forward on his own accord and told Dali, ‘Young Master, sell me your land. I’ll give you cash. You can squander however you wish to with this money, and we’ll help you shoulder all the risks…’ And then, Hong Dali nodded and said, ‘Sure, then I’ll sell it, comrade. It’s been hard on you…’, then this matter has come to an end…”

Hong Jianye mimicked Hong Dali’s tone quite realistically, and everyone present collapsed as they heard it.

“This… This little rascal…” Hong Weiguo helplessly said, “And then he sold all those pieces of land…”

“Yes, so now we only need to wait for the good show.” Hong Jianye chicly shrugged his shoulders. “With 8 billion of pure cash now, he can do many big businesses. Actually, to speak the truth, I really wish to know whether that Ko Gohon has gone nuts to actually do such a thing…” After speaking, upon seeing the few people around him giving off a dangerous and threatening aura, he sheepishly smiled. “Ah, haha, I’m not talking about the few of you…”

This fellow had forgotten that Hong Weiguo and the rest didn’t agree to Hong Dali selling the land…

…

Hong Dali was naturally oblivious to the matter at Forest Capital. At the moment, he was lying on his desk in the classroom and snoring loudly.

Ever since he’d sold the land under his name, these two days, Hong Dali had brought Tang Muxin and a few lackeys along and stayed in the Photon Force Laboratory on the fourth floor of Chenhui Building throughout the whole day other than eating and sleeping. Every night he’d go there once he finished school, and he’d stay there all the way till midnight before going home.

Thus, with insufficient sleep, he could only make up for his sleep in class…

While he was sleeping, Ling Yi and Du Xinzhen had started a chat in their smartphone’s group chat.

Ling Yi: “Hey, have you heard about it, there are two new transfer students in our school. They’re pretty fierce, and I heard that they’re very good at fighting.”

Du Xinzhen: “Could they be as great as the Blood Consort? I simply make a prediction and know that they’re all paper tigers!”

Lang Hao: “The Blood Consort is indeed awesome, but the problem is that she isn’t here. Hey, I heard that yesterday, the transfer students went to challenge Liu Mingcheng, and in the end, Liu Mingcheng went for the challenge just like that. Eventually, he was beaten up badly, and his entire face became swollen…”

Ling Yi: “Liu Mingcheng has actually been beaten? What the heck. This is way too fierce!”

Liu Mingcheng was actually beaten up. Thus, they couldn’t help but fill their head with thoughts.

After all, Liu Mingcheng was the second son of the CEO of the Liu Corporation’s Turkey Company, Liu Yihui. Normally, nobody would dare to do anything to him because of his background. But those two new transfer students actually had the guts to really beat him up.

Ling Yi: “What exactly is their background? I just know that they’re quite fierce, and they won’t concede to anyone, but I really didn’t think that they would be so arrogant. They dare to hit even Liu Mingcheng, are they sick of living?”

Lang Hao: “According to the latest news, one of them is the son of a CEO of a big company in the south, while the other is the nephew of that CEO. This company is allegedly being backed up by a big conglomerate in Jaban State, and their backing is extremely strong. This time, Liu Mingcheng will probably have to bear with it. Fortunately, he’s only been kicked a few times and punched two times on the face. According to the school rules, normally, this will not be made into a big issue.”

At the school where Hong Dali studied at, almost all the students were rich and influential. Thus, little cliques naturally formed, and quite a number of students knew powerful people from the triads. If they called over all their friends outside of school once they got into a fight, then the matter wouldn’t be able to be resolved.

Thus, in this school, it was publicly acknowledged that during a fight, as long as no weapons were used and only a few fists and kicks were hurled, as long as it wasn’t serious, nobody was allowed to find outsiders to help them.

Because of this rule, probably no justice would be served for Liu Mingcheng this time.

Du Xinzhen: “It’s true that it won’t be made into a big issue, but the problem is that the news is not good. Who would they target next? Do you think they would come and find Young Master Dali?”

Ling Yi: “It can’t be said for sure, but it’s very possible. Let’s not talk anymore, let’s try our best to protect Brother Dali during lunchtime. It’s fine for Liu Mingcheng to be beaten up, but Brother Dali can’t be beaten. He has just recovered a bit recently. If he gets beaten up, it’ll spell big trouble.”

Du Xinzhen: “Yes, that’s true. Gather all our men and be prepared to deal with any sudden situations!”

…

Very soon, it was noon and school ended.

Just after the bell had rung, Hong Dali did a long backstretch. “Ah, I’ve had such a nice sleep. School has finally ended, I’ll go and eat lunch!”

He stood up and left the classroom. Ling Yi, Du Xinzhen and the rest glanced at each other. Correct secret signal, hurry up and follow!

Once he exited from the school building, Hong Dali heard an enigmatic voice from not far away. “Yo, so this is the legendary prodigal Hong Dali? I heard you’re quite capable and popular in this school, why don’t we compare?”

“Ah?” Hong Dali turned his head and looked. There was a group of about five or six people. The person in the lead was about 1.85 meters tall, and one look at him, one could see his muscles that contained explosive power, extremely short hair, and his extremely threatening look.

Beside him were a few slightly shorter young men. They wore their school uniforms with their shirt buttons loosened, and their hair was dyed in all sorts of colors, looking like gangsters. By his side were also one girl and two guys. The girl was dressed alluringly with thick makeup. Had she changed out of her school uniform, she’d probably be the typical little thug.

At the moment, as the person in the lead said that he wanted to compare himself with Dali, the others around him laughed along and looked at Hong Dali with gloating expressions.

“You have something to say to me?” Hong Dali curiously asked, “Do we know each other?”

By then, Ling Yi, Du Xinzhen and the rest, upon seeing that something was wrong, immediately gathered forward and stared at that transfer student in the lead with expressions full of wariness and cautiousness.

The transfer student’s body was just too buff. Though they had many people on their own side, they might not be able to win over the other party in terms of true ability to fight.

“You’re Hong Dali, right?” That muscular guy in the lead sniggered. “Where are you off to?”

“Mm?” Hong Dali sniffled. “I’m going to eat lunch. You can’t even tell something so obvious?”

“Eating lunch, that’s not urgent, haha.” The muscular guy roared with laughter and said, “But I’m very curious. Young Master Dali, do you have to bring so many people to eat lunch? It couldn’t be that you got scared upon hearing that we were coming, right?”

It was obvious that he was trying to provoke him. Ling Yi scolded, “Is it against the law for us to eat with Brother Dali? How is it your business?”

Du Xinzhen shouted, “Then what do you people mean by going out in such a big group? You can do it but we’re not allowed to?”
