Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646: 644, superior older woman, scum men will mess up their whole life!

Capital City, West Second Road, within a certain Quadrangle.

In the Chen family’s study, Chen Dali’s grandfather sat at the head of the table, with Chen Dali’s father, Chen Yuanfang, seated below him. Chen Yuanfang was an Assistant Minister of Zhongshu Province, a third-rank senior official with the authority to advise The Court. Chen Dali’s two older brothers, Chen An and Chen Shun, were also present. They too were part of Zhongshu Province, belonging to the younger generation of sixth-rank officials. And Chen Dali? He was actually the Chen Family’s business heir.

"Grandfather, Dad, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I’ll lay my cards on the table. I’m now a ten-billionaire," Chen Dali announced.

The old patriarch calmly pressed his lips together.

Chen Yuanfang’s hand trembled slightly.

His two older brothers’ breathing grew somewhat heavy.

"Tell us about your situation," Old Master Chen Zhiba said, looking at his grandson Chen Dali.

"Yes!" Chen Dali nodded and then began to recount his story.

After hearing about the gold, Chen Yuanfang sighed. "This young man... he’s actually so formidable?"

"What’s even more commendable," Chen Zhiba said calmly, "is that this young man has never been one to hog all the benefits. He always moves forward with three others. Although he is indeed using the three of you for cover, he has also genuinely shared tangible benefits. That’s excellent."

"Knowing one’s own place is valuable. Whether it’s him or any of you, everyone has put their own chips on the table," Chen Zhiba continued. "The situation with Luofeng is actually quite simple. He holds a trump card but severely lacks the connections and background to support it. Therefore, he has to share the benefits to consolidate his circle and network. It’s like those transmigrators in stories who go back to ancient times. Why do they offer shares of modern money-making ventures to powerful families? This isn’t cowardice; it’s rationality."

Meanwhile, in another Quadrangle, Lin Xiaoyun was doing the same thing as Chen Dali: laying his cards on the table for his family.

The current de facto head of the Lin Family was, naturally, Lin Xiaoyun’s paternal uncle. He was also a third-rank official, but he served in the Ministry of Personnel, which held a lower status than Zhongshu Province. Therefore, in Capital City circles, the Lin Family’s status wasn’t as high as the Chen family’s. The Chen family belonged to the second tier in the Capital City, while the Lin family was the strongest among those in the third tier.

"Uncle, with this sum of money, I plan to venture into graphene battery technology. I’m prepared to invest as much as possible," Lin Xiaoyun shared his plans.

"That boy, Luofeng, he hasn’t visited our home yet, has he?" Lin Guozhi, Lin Xiaoyun’s paternal uncle, spoke up.

"When you all have time, you should come visit. You stingy little rascal, don’t you dare neglect Tuan Tuan’s benefactor!" Lin Guozhi said.

"Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ll be sure to," Lin Xiaoyun replied.

"By the way, regarding the graphene matter, your thinking is spot on. I’ll let you in on something, but don’t spread it around," said Lin Guozhi.

"About the graphene project, barring any surprises, it will be based in Capital City and will be one of the very important future industries. It will receive significant attention from the highest levels down," Lin Guozhi revealed.

"The Security Investigation Bureau’s portion will be split five ways. Understand?" Lin Guozhi added.

"They’re going to join too?" Lin Xiaoyun was momentarily stunned.

"The benefits are immense, so they’ll naturally be interested. However, they won’t get involved directly. It will all be handled by the Security Investigation Bureau, and they won’t interfere in any way," Lin Guozhi explained.

"Mhm, I’ll act as if I don’t know about this. As for the benefits that are worth fighting for, I’ll be prepared to cede a portion if necessary," Lin Xiaoyun said.

"But according to Brother Feng, we’re in the first echelon, and the valuation is expected to increase tenfold by then," Lin Xiaoyun added.

"His game plan was figured out by others long ago. But for an industry like this, even if it expands tenfold, people will still be scrambling for a piece of it, because it can potentially expand another tenfold after that. So, we owe him a great deal. You, lad, will have to repay this debt slowly over time," Lin Guozhi stated.

Lin Wanting was truly a top-tier beauty. But a scumbag ruined her life!

"..." Lin Congwu was speechless. So damn stingy!

One of Li Bo Kai’s older brothers chimed in, "Third Brother, you’ve been in charge of the family’s finances for a long time, always out carousing. Is that how you repay the family for raising you?"

The other brother added, "That’s right! All you care about is wining and dining. Haven’t you ever thought about the suffering your two older brothers are going through?"

"Heh!" Li Bo Kai sneered, not bothering to address his brothers directly. "Dad, you’re clearly siding with these two, aren’t you?"

"I am your father, and they are your older brothers. Your words are creating distance," Li Yinkun said.

"Heh. I am *your* father, and I think Xiaokai is right. Am I creating distance too, then?"

Just then, an aged voice cut in.

"Dad?" Li Yinkun exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up! Looking at how pedantic you are, I really feel like kicking you to death!" Old Master Li scoffed coldly.

"And you two!" he continued, turning to his other grandsons. "Utterly useless, daydreaming all day! Can’t you put in some effort yourselves? You fail your exams every time, what good are you?!"

Faced with their grandfather’s tirade, Li Bo Kai’s two older brothers were furious but dared not speak out.

"One is obsessed with becoming an official, the other is a bookworm! The point is, both of you only know how to dream and not how to work hard. You’re really making me furious! And you still have the gall to ask for money now?"

"Grandpa, don’t be angry. I’ll just work harder, that’s all," Li Bo Kai added, twisting the knife.
