Chapter 159: Chapter 157 Wei Yishu

Long Chen immediately regretted his words as soon as they escaped his lips.

He expected a more ferocious onslaught from both women.

How could they possibly believe Long Chen’s words, tossing around billions as if it was nothing.

In the end, Long Chen, with no other choice, simply said, "Stop for a moment, and listen to me."

"Speak."

Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan briefly halted and looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen pondered for a moment and then proposed, "You each go and build your own businesses, and I’ll invest in your companies—five hundred million each, how about that?"

"You’re still asking for a beating."

Li Yuechan gestured as if to raise her hand.

"Don’t," Long Chen said, "I’m not joking. I have some shares in Dragon Doctor, and although my share has been reduced quite a bit, I still have a considerable amount of money, so giving each of you five hundred million is no problem."

"Dragon Doctor?" Zhao Churan whispered, "If that’s true, then there would indeed be a lot of money."

"Li, you’ve told me this before, but I feel that money shouldn’t be squandered. If we lose it, then there’s no turning back," Li Yuechan seriously said.

"Nonsense, you won’t lose," Long Chen said, "Besides, aren’t I your way out?"

"Then let’s invest, I’m determined to succeed, and when I do, you’ll be my boss, and I’ll work for you," Zhao Churan said with a charming laugh.

"Churan, I hope we can both make it, and then, merge," Li Yuechan said with a smile.

Zhao Churan nodded vigorously, "Yes, we’ll definitely make it."

The two women looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere very harmonious.

Looking at the harmonious pair, Long Chen was very pleased.

What he feared most was these two quarreling.

Now, as long as they got along, money didn’t really matter.

"By the way, have you read the latest news? I heard that the ugly dynasty is using all sorts of despicable means to obstruct our Great Xia’s ’Xiaqi Technology’ – truly disgusting."

"I saw it too, alas, it’s unavoidable."

The two women whispered among themselves, discussing a lot.

Long Chen, deep in thought, contemplated for a good while before sending a message to the old Hall Master of Dragon Palace to inquire about the situation.

The old Hall Master quickly replied, telling Long Chen some truths.

For such a big matter, the old Hall Master of Dragon Palace naturally knew about it.

’Master, I think we should take action,’ Long Chen sent the message.

Ding.

The old Hall Master replied, ’To resolve this matter, we’ll need to employ some iron-fisted measures, eliminate the problem at its root, and obtain the most fundamental technology.’

Long Chen: ’Understood, I’ll take care of this. Send Long’er to me, I’ll take her abroad, treat it as a vacation.’

The old Hall Master: ’Fine.’

...

After the matter was settled, Long Chen felt relieved.

He was worried the old Hall Master wouldn’t agree, considering the huge implications, but it turned out the old Hall Master agreed without a second thought.

"Churan, Yuechan, about this, I think it can be resolved soon. We of Great Xia are not so easily bullied," Long Chen said with a smile.

"I’m skeptical," Zhao Churan said, "Unless a company that doesn’t rely on the ugly dynasty’s technology at all emerges within our Great Xia, but that’s very difficult."

"Hmm."

Long Chen nodded slightly.

"Forget it, forget it. These matters are too far removed from us; we should focus on how to get our own companies off the ground."

"Then you all discuss it, I’m going back to my room."

Long Chen stood up.

After returning to his room, Long Chen looked up many resources online and had the elder Hall Master leverage some connections to acquire a top-secret document for him.

Finally, Long Chen had an idea.

Now, the one thing he didn’t lack was money, and he was pondering how to spend it meaningfully.

Through the elder Hall Master, Long Chen got the phone number of the CEO of a semiconductor company.

Within Great Xia, there were many related companies, but the one Long Chen chose was rather mediocre in performance.

However, Long Chen specifically chose this one because its CEO truly wanted to create a technology system that belonged solely to Great Xia.

If he succeeded, Great Xia would no longer be constrained by any external forces.

After thinking it over, Long Chen called the CEO of that company.

The call connected, and a steady voice came through, "Hello, I am Wei Yishu."

"My name is Long Chen, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wei."

Long Chen said with a smile.

There was silence on the phone for a moment.

Then, Wei Yishu asked, "I am very curious, Mr. Long, how did you get my number?"

"From a secretive agency within Great Xia, if I put it that way, would you believe me?" Long Chen asked with a laugh.

Startled by the comment, Wei Yishu gasped, "Mr. Long, are you someone from ’up there’?"

"Not exactly," Long Chen replied, "but my identity is special and I cannot disclose it to you. I’m calling to talk to you about an issue concerning your company. In short, I want to help you. If you’re free tomorrow, how about coming to Qianzhou?"

"Can I trust you?" Wei Yishu asked.

"Three years, I need you to catch up with a certain Jie Electric," Long Chen said.

Hiss.

Wei Yishu sucked in a breath of cold air, then jubilantly replied, "Mr. Long, I will definitely come to meet you in Qianzhou tomorrow."

"Good."

Long Chen hung up the phone.

The next day, around noon, Long Chen received a call from Wei Yishu.

The two agreed to meet at a tea house. Wei Yishu was surprised when he saw Long Chen.

Because he never expected to meet a young man.

But Wei Yishu didn’t leave right away because he keenly felt that Long Chen had an extraordinary aura, giving off an unfathomable impression.

"Mr. Long, about the matter you mentioned yesterday, do you have any thoughts?"

Wei Yishu got straight to the point.

Long Chen scrutinized Wei Yishu—this was a man past his fifties yet radiating vigor.

He didn’t carry the characteristic slickness and cunning of a businessman with him.

This, Long Chen quite liked.

"Mr. Wei, then I’ll be frank. The matter I’m about to discuss with you, I hope you can keep it confidential. If you disclose it, it won’t just be your company that you’d be dooming."

"Mr. Long, rest assured, I won’t reveal a single word I shouldn’t say, even if it costs me my life," Wei Yishu said gravely.

"Good," Long Chen said. "I’d like to reintroduce myself. I am the owner of Dragon Doctor, and I am also the creator of those elixirs."

Hiss.

Wei Yishu instantly gasped in shock and stood up.

"Please sit, sit," Long Chen said with a laugh. "You must be somewhat aware of Dragon Doctor’s influence worldwide, right?"

"Of... of course," Wei Yishu’s voice trembled slightly. "Some people have preliminarily estimated that Dragon Doctor’s assets might already amount to several tens of quadrillions."

"That is true," Long Chen confirmed. "I was just wondering how to spend such an amount meaningfully. Now, I’ve figured it out. I’ve asked you here to discuss if I give you sufficient funds and get you some key technologies, could you surpass that Xin chip company controlled by ’Old Ugly’ within three years? You know which one I’m referring to."

"I can," Wei Yishu answered confidently, nodding. "If I cannot, I, Wei Yishu, will apologize with my death."

"Good," Long Chen said seriously. "I will invest five hundred billion a year into your company, with only one condition—spare no expense, you must make it happen."

"Yes."

Wei Yishu’s eyes reddened with excitement as he abruptly stood up.
