Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Chapter 167: The Very Filial Tao Siyao

Seeing the shocked expression on her dad’s face,

Tao Siyao was instantly displeased and rolled her eyes at him.

"Dad, I’m usually very well-behaved at home, you know."

"Heh, yes, very well-behaved."

Tao Ronghui’s lips twitched. Not wanting to argue with his daughter, he turned his attention to Qi Sheng’s career.

"Xiaoqi, I heard from Yaoyao that you’re also an entrepreneur?"

"Right now, I’m mainly managing a few restaurant brands. I also partnered with a friend to acquire a hotel, and I have an office building that I collect rent from."

Qi Sheng answered concisely.

He was afraid that going into too much detail would scare Tao Ronghui.

"Oh?"

Tao Ronghui asked dubiously, "In that case, have you considered expanding your business to Hangzhou?"

"I actually already have two hotels in Hangzhou. I’ll be opening several more restaurants later on, so you and Auntie can dine there often."

"Hotels?"

Tao Ronghui asked in surprise, "Are they part of a chain, or your own brand?"

"Banyan Tree and Yuechun. Uncle, you’ve probably heard of them."

Tao Ronghui, who had been taking a sip of water, nearly choked when he heard the names of two very familiar hotels.

"Banyan Tree?"

Tao Ronghui was stunned for a moment.

"Isn’t that a hotel group from Singapore?"

"Uncle, you’re probably not in the hotel industry, so you might not have followed news about the Banyan Tree Group."

"My friend and I joined forces to acquire the Banyan Tree Group. It’s now a company we wholly own."

Qi Sheng casually dropped this bombshell, leaving Tao Ronghui completely dumbfounded.

"You acquired the Banyan Tree Group?"

Tao Ronghui’s jaw dropped. It took him a long while to accept this fact.

The possibility of Qi Sheng lying to him was out of the question.

The hotels were right here in Hangzhou; a lie like that would be exposed in minutes.

"I’m responsible for management, and my friend provided the capital. I hold the shares on his behalf, and we split the profits."

Qi Sheng tried to explain it in a way that would be easier for Tao Ronghui and his wife to accept.

If it had been an outsider like Chen Shuyuan,

he wouldn’t have bothered with such a detailed explanation.

’The system takes zero percent, and I take ten percent.’

’Seems perfectly reasonable, doesn’t it?’

"That’s still incredible. To be managing such a large hotel group at your age... the pressure must be immense!"

The way Tao Ronghui looked at Qi Sheng changed again and again, now filled with approval and admiration.

Although he was among the first group of people in Hangzhou to get rich, his business ventures had seen their ups and downs over the years.

Of his net worth of over a hundred million, this house alone accounted for almost half.

His other businesses only brought in a few million in profit each year.

Compared to the assets under Qi Sheng’s name, his were somewhat insignificant.

After learning about Qi Sheng’s family background, education, and abilities,

his approval of Qi Sheng grew even stronger.

He’d gotten rich through lucky crypto trading, decisively cashed out, and then pivoted to the investment sector.

He’d joined forces with a friend to acquire the Banyan Tree Group, and he also had several restaurants to his name.

Career, looks, height, ability...

In every aspect, he exceeded the standards Tao Ronghui had set for his future son-in-law.
