Chapter 557 Dead End Of The Formidable Warrior
After Governor Jiang left, Wang Teng told Grandpa Wang and his father about the offer.
“Governor Jiang said that?” Wang Shengguo asked in disbelief.
“Yes.” Wang Teng nodded. “It looks like the government didn’t give many funds this time. If not, he wouldn’t keep pestering you.” Wang Shengguo frowned.
“Yes, that is understandable. The implications of the sea beasts’ riot are huge. We can foresee the entire nation moving. That will require many human resources and material resources, all of which require a large amount of money to support them. The government won’t be able to take care of everything, so Donghai’s situation will rely heavily on Governor Jiang alone,” Grandpa Wang sat on his chair and spoke slowly as he drank some tea.
“There must be many star cores and star bones in the corpses of the sea beasts. They can get a sum of money by selling these items. I’m already doing my part by not touching them,” Wang Teng said. Grandpa Wang and his father glanced at him with weird expressions. If others had said this, they would believe them. But when Wang Teng said it, they felt that he was a little sly.
The three lord-level sea beasts were the biggest catch of the day. He took them, but he still had the face to say these words? What a bad person.
“Tell me honestly how many treasures did you snatch?” Wang Shengguo asked uncontrollably.
He felt helpless too. Although his son was outstanding, he had many tricks up his sleeve. Why didn’t he realize that he was a money lover in the past? He wondered who he took after.
“Not much.” Wang Teng sniggered. “How much is not much?” Wang Shengguo rolled his eyes.
“I haven’t calculated the exact value, but it should be a few thousand trillion,” Wang Teng roughly counted his treasures and replied.
“How much did you say?!” Wang Shengguo widened his eyes in disbelief. He wondered if he had heard wrong.
Grandpa Wang almost pulled his beard, staring at Wang Teng in a daze. The other members of the Wang family around them had the same expression. They looked as though they had seen a ghost. A few thousand trillion!
Seriously?
“I didn’t calculate it, so it’s approximately… this much.” Wang Teng said carefully. He didn’t dare to say the number again in case everyone got another fright.
Especially Grandpa Wang. He was getting old. If he ended up in the hospital from the shock, he would be a sinner.
“A few thousand trillions?” Wang Shengguo was unwilling to accept this ambiguous answer, so he asked again.
“About there! About there!” Wang Teng replied.
Everyone knew that he didn’t make a mistake since he was still certain of what he said. They looked at one another and saw only astonishment in their eyes.
“This… is too much!” Wang Shengguo took a deep breath and gave a bitter smile. “Let me digest this. My heart isn’t able to handle it.”
“So, our family is the richest family in the nation?” Grandpa Wang felt as if this was a dream. He was old and experienced and always composed no matter what happened, but he was still shocked out of his wits at this moment.
The top companies in the world were worth a few trillion, but the Wang family had left them in the dust in an instant. How could he not be astounded?
Even if the Leader of martial arts came, he would be dumbfounded too.
“Erm, we might not be the richest family. There are several secret families in the world. They might be living in seclusion, but their assets are worth over a few thousand trillion.” Wang Teng shook his head.
He didn’t get arrogant. The more powerful he became, the greater his outlook was.
“That’s right. This is the martial arts era. There are many things outside our expectations.” Grandpa Wang smiled at himself mockingly.
“Are you going to fork out the money?” Wang Shengguo asked.
“I’ll definitely give the money. In the past, I’ve said that we might be helping Governor Jiang solve his problem, but simultaneously, this is our chance. However, we need to see what benefits he can provide us. I want to gain connections with the higher authorities using this chance and create a dan, weapons, and rune vessels industrial chain for the Wang family. We need Governor Jiang’s support if we want to do this,” Wang Teng said slowly. A sharp glint flashed past his eyes.
“Also, Donghai’s geographical location is strategic. It’s linked to all the ports in the nation and is the hub of communication of the country. This is a resource distribution center. Without the sea beasts’ riot, we wouldn’t have been able to get hold of the land here so easily.”
Wang Teng paused for a moment and looked at everyone digesting his words. He smiled and continued, “Many families and companies are moving out of Donghai, while some others are still contemplating. They’re playing the waiting game. Once this period is over and they grasp the situation, many real business giants will enter Donghai.
“At that time, our advantage will be gone. Why don’t we be more decisive now and strike first? The first one to act will have the largest piece of cake.”
Everyone finally understood what Wang Teng wanted to do. Astonishment filled up their eyes.
They didn’t know that Wang Teng’s ambition was this huge. Grandpa Wang and Wang Shenghong were experienced businessmen, so they understood Wann Teng’s intention at once.
With Donghai as their base, he wanted to create a business empire that would influence the entire nation!
Wang Shengguo, Wang Shenghong, and many others could foresee the amazing future. They started to get excited.
Grandpa Wang looked at Wang Teng in satisfaction. Although his grandson was a little too outstanding, he was still his grandson. Hence, it was a good thing. He said, “Since you have a plan, do it. The entire family will help you.”
Wang Shenghong, Wang Shengguo, Wang Shengjun, and Fang Junming were the backbone of the Wang family. They all felt restless and excited now. They looked at Wang Teng with an intense gaze, hoping that he would agree to Governor Jiang immediately and give them a chance to display their capabilities.
Wang Teng was caught between laughter and tears. All these were just words. It would take a long time if they wanted to execute it. He didn’t expect Grandpa Wang to be so excited.
“Don’t be impatient. What will come will come. If Governor Jiang wants to get a large sum of funds, I’m the best choice. The other families might be wealthy, but they won’t be able to provide so many liquid assets immediately,” Wang Teng smiled confidently.
Grandpa Wang nodded. After pondering for a moment, he knew that Wang Teng was speaking the truth. This was quite certain.
After they finished discussing, they planned to leave. At this moment, Dan Taixuan came.
Wang Teng was surprised. “I wonder why she came to look for me now?”
“Don’t make her wait too long,” Grandpa Wang urged.
“Okay.” Wang Teng nodded and left.
Seeing Dan Taixuan, who was standing not far away, Wang Teng greeted her instantly, “Master.”
“Come with me. Someone wants to see you,” Dan Taixuan said after she turned and nodded at him.
“See me? Who?” Wang Teng asked curiously.
“You’ll know once you go.” Dan Taixuan rose into the air.
Wang Teng shook his head and followed her.
The two of them came to Huanghai Military Academy in the blink of an eye. They went straight to the instructor dormitory.
