Chapter 59: The rain on the river boils the rain on the river
(Second update)
...
Light rain in Huating.
The dense raindrops are like transparent silk threads that fill the entire sky and earth, falling chaotically and orderly, saturating the entire city and the Huangpu River in the city.
The river level is gentle.
The raindrops fell into the river, causing tiny ripples all over the river.
The light rain is leisurely, gentle, and almost carefree. In the rain curtain, the whole city is filled with a hazy leisurely atmosphere.
There is a small boat floating on the river.
It is the smallest sightseeing boat on the Huangpu River.
The boat was traveling from west to east, and there were people sitting on the bow, drinking tea quietly.
Looking down from a high place, the city in the rain, the river in the city, the boats on the river, and the people on the boats are quiet and beautiful, like an extremely simple and elegant picture in the bustling city.
Through the clean and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, Li Tianlan watched quietly.
There was a woman sitting on the sofa behind him.
The woman is in her thirties, with ordinary appearance but elegant temperament. She wears a black professional skirt, has an elegant and polite smile, and looks very sincere and dignified.
Li Tianlan stood with his back to him, looking at the rain outside the window, seemingly in a daze.
This is the reception room on the top floor of Shengshi Financial Group. Li Tianlan is here today to sign a cooperation agreement with Han Donglou on behalf of Donghuang Palace.
The woman sitting behind Li Tianlan is Han Donglou's secretary.
Han Donglou is in a meeting.
It's not that Han Donglou deliberately neglected Li Tianlan. It is said that the meeting started at midnight yesterday and has not ended until now. Even Han Donglou's secretary came out of the conference room to receive Li Tianlan after Li Tianlan arrived.
This is already a very high priority.
"Mr. Li, the tea is getting cold."
The secretary chuckled and said.
Li Tianlan waved his hand, turned around and looked at his secretary and asked, "How much longer will Mr. Han need?"
"It should be soon."
The secretary looked at his watch and smiled impeccably: "Mr. Han has asked the Legal Department to draw up a contract. You can get the investment from Shengshi Fund no later than noon today."
Li Tianlan nodded and said yes.
He has communicated with everyone in Donghuang Palace, and everyone thinks that they have no reason to reject this investment at present.
If any force wants to develop, money may not be the most important, but it is definitely the most basic. The Donghuang Palace, known as the four major forces of the younger generation, is now too monotonous, with no more than ten employees, none of the various departments, and no one belonging to it.
He has no personal network and intelligence system, and no financial source to support the continued development of Donghuang Palace. This is not so much a force, but a small gang that may go their separate ways at any time.
This kind of thing was not a problem before.
But graduation is coming, and after the final exercise, if Donghuang Palace can win, it will become the new free force with the first place in both houses. By then, various departments and institutions will be indispensable.
1.5 billion sounds like a lot, but for any new force, it is not actually a huge amount of money, it can only be regarded as a start-up capital.
The reason why Li Tianlan decided to accept Han Donglou's investment was because of the golden name of Shengshi Fund, Shengshi Gene, and the Han family. This is the neutral family with the strongest capital in Zhongzhou. As long as he gets the initial investment, it means that he and
The possibility of more cooperation between the Han family in the future.
As long as Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace show sufficient potential, the Han family's investment will continue to increase in the future. For Donghuang Palace, sufficient funds represent a guarantee for rapid development.
And as long as he leads the Donghuang Palace through this exercise and has the golden name of Shengshi Fund, he will receive more investment in the future, and it will not only be limited to money.
The premise is that Li Tianlan is strong enough.
Perhaps there are still many people who doubt Li Tianlan, the ninth person on the God List, who has long been unworthy of his name.
But Li Tianlan himself is full of confidence.
His strength is indeed far less powerful than it was during the decisive battle in Tiandu, but his stronger potential gives him a broader future.
After getting Han Donglou's investment, he didn't think he was losing money, nor did he think Han Donglou would lose money.
He even felt that this was one of Han Donglou's most successful investments.
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked at his watch.
9:50 am.
He frowned, and just as he was about to speak, his secretary's cell phone rang.
The secretary answered the phone and listened for a while, then said yes.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Han has dismissed the meeting and he will come over to meet with you soon."
The secretary stood up and his smile became softer.
"good."
Li Tianlan responded. As his eyes moved, through the glass of the reception room, he saw a group of people walking out of the conference room.
This is a team of about twenty people.
There were men and women, ranging from young to middle-aged, and everyone's eyes were flashing with excitement and solemnity. The whole team walked out of the conference room one by one, walking in a hurry.
The calm and determined Han Donglou walked at the back.
Han Xinyan, who seemed to have a quiet personality but was very tough, followed Han Donglou, one step behind.
Another very young woman was walking side by side with Han Donglou, and the two of them were talking calmly.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes slightly and watched without saying a word.
She was a young woman, no more than twenty-four or five years old.
The moment he saw him, Li Tianlan felt in a trance that he even saw Qin Weibai.
She is slightly shorter than Qin Weibai.
The appearance is also a bit inferior.
But even if it's a little less beautiful, it's still absolutely beautiful.
The same sharpness, the same refinement, the same confidence.
Same, but different.
The woman standing next to Han Donglou was extremely proud.
It was a clearly visible arrogance that did not seem to take everyone into account. She was not cold, but because of this arrogance, she looked extremely cold.
Indifference and arrogance are also confidence.
She walked side by side with Han Donglou with a calm expression. In terms of aura, she was even more powerful than Han Donglou.
In sight, the woman walked out of the conference room, shook hands with Han Donglou, and then turned around.
The team that was the first to leave the conference room followed the woman and surrounded her toward the elevator.
Women passing by the reception room were cheering each other.
She suddenly paused and turned to look at Li Tianlan in the reception room.
The two looked at each other through the glass.
Li Tianlan was calm and fearless.
The woman turned around expressionlessly and continued walking to the elevator.
Her figure was swaying, her silver high heels hitting the ground, and her clear voice seemed to fall on everyone's heart, with an edge.
Han Xinyan walked beside the woman and sent her downstairs.
Han Donglou walked into the reception room.
"Who is that?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"What, do you have an idea?"
Han Donglou smiled and sat on the sofa, waving his hand to signal the secretary to leave.
"She is hostile to me."
Li Tianlan said, although the look at each other just now was brief, he could clearly detect the sharp edge that suddenly burst out in the other person's eyes.
"normal."
Han Donglou smiled and cut a cigar: "You put so much pressure on my fiancé and even dragged my sister-in-law into my car. Why should I be calm to you?"
"fiancé?"
Li Tianlan's eyes flashed and he sat opposite Han Donglou.
Han Donglou handed the cigar to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan shook his head and took out a cigarette.
"She is Wang Shengxiao's fiancée and also my partner this time."
Han Donglou took a puff of his cigar, and in the smoke, his voice was a little deep: "Miss Tang of the Beihai Wang family, the future mistress of the Beihai Wang family."
"That..."
Li Tianlan was a little surprised. Thinking of the arrogant woman just now and Song Ci, he asked: "Where is Song Ci?"
"Even you can have more than one woman, why can't Wang Shengxiao? In Tang poetry and Song poetry, the two most outstanding women of the younger generation of the Wang family in Beihai are even more outstanding than Wang Yuetong in some aspects."
Han Donglou smiled and said: "Especially Tang poetry. Compared with Song poetry that only appeared two or three years ago, Tang poetry was cultivated as the economic helmsman of the Beihai Wang family at a very young age. The Beihai Wang family has inherited it for nearly ten generations.
You can't imagine how big the Li family's industry has been for hundreds of years, but now, Tang Shi is responsible for all the industries."
"sharp."
Li Tianlan took a puff of cigarette and said softly.
There are geniuses in the martial arts field.
There is also no shortage of geniuses in the financial and business fields.
"It's really awesome."
Han Donglou nodded: "Over there in the Snow Country, the Polar Alliance is in civil strife. An oligarch family was completely wiped out last night, and the Snow Country is in internal turmoil. Tang Shi came here today because he wants to unite with the Shengshi Fund to target the Snow Country's Lu coins."
"What about investment?"
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.
Beihai Wang's and Shengshi Fund teamed up to attack the rupee, which is bound to mobilize a large amount of cash.
"One yard owned by a yard."
Han Donglou shook his head: "I can give you 1.5 billion at any time. It won't be a problem."
The secretary left and came back.
Next to her was a smart-looking middle-aged man in a suit and tie.
The man put the folder in his hand next to Han Donglou, bent down and said: "Mr. Han, the contract has been drawn up and it will take effect once signed."
Han Donglou nodded casually, pushed the contract towards Li Tianlan, and said: "This is the contract between us. Everyone in Donghuang Palace must sign, and the 1.5 billion will be in place before the afternoon. Take a look.
, there is no doubt that I am the first investor of Donghuang Palace."
Li Tianlan opened the folder.
The contract is very thick.
Because there are many contracts.
A single copy is actually two pages.
The above emphasizes that Shengshi Financial Group occupies 10% of the interests of Donghuang Palace.
At the same time, it emphasized the power that Shengshi Financial Group will have within the sphere of influence of Donghuang Palace in the future.
In addition, everything is supplementary to Shengshi Financial Group's subsequent investment in Donghuang Palace.
For example, if Li Tianlan can survive after the final exercise, Shengshi Financial Group will invest another 500 million. If Donghuang Palace can win the final exercise, the investment scale will be increased to 3 billion.
What hurts Li Tianlan the most is that this fucking contract even states that if Li Tianlan can marry Dongcheng Rushi or Wang Yuetong, Shengshi Financial Group will increase the amount.
Li Tianlan's mouth twitched as he read the contract. He could completely imagine Li Baitian's expressions after seeing the contract.
He put the contract away and said expressionlessly: "No problem."
"The funds will be in place by this afternoon."
Han Donglou said: "From now on, you will be one of the investment targets of Shengshi Financial Group. Within a certain scope, Shengshi Foundation will give you a certain degree of support, but it does not include the six major groups targeting Zhongzhou."
Li Tianlan nodded.
He can understand the support correctly, but...
"Aren't you afraid that the six major groups will retaliate against you?"
Li Tianlan asked: "After all, my identity is relatively sensitive. If the Beihai Wang Family and Kunlun City knew that you invested in the Donghuang Palace..."
"You know it if you know it."
Han Donglou said calmly: "So what? What I am investing now are all forces that have the hope of becoming an invincible master in the future. It is a normal business behavior. The money is mine. I am willing to give it to you, no matter what.
to other people’s nonsense.”
"They don't just talk nonsense."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
"you do not understand."
Han Donglou said calmly: "Although the Han family does not have invincible masters now, the power we have cannot be ignored by anyone. The Han family can rise, but the most difficult thing is in the first few years. At that time, I had
Funds, means, but not enough power. Just like a child walking in the downtown area with gold in his arms. At that time, there were indeed people who had ideas about the Han family."
"How do you do it?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"I?"
The fierce look in Han Donglou's eyes flashed away: "I directly set off a financial storm within Zhongzhou, sweeping from Xiangjiang to Huating. It was a battle for the Han family to gain a foothold in Zhongzhou, whether it was the Wang family of Beihai or the wealthy family.
The group, as well as ourselves, suffered heavy losses. But since then, fewer people have dared to reach out to us."
"Then the Han family cleared the way and invested in the six major groups. After so many years, I have friends in the six major groups. When I need it, I can make my voice heard in the six major groups at the same time. This is my power.
When I spend my money, this power never exists, but it is everywhere, just like..."
"It's like the seventh largest group."
Li Tianlan said lightly: "Neutral Group?"
"There is no such thing."
Han Donglou smiled and shook his head: "But the Han family does not have to submit to anyone's will so far, unless we are willing."
Li Tianlan nodded.
Absolute wealth can indeed be fearless.
The Han family does not have invincible masters, but they have money.
If Han Donglou is really crazy and throws away hundreds of billions to buy a human life, not to mention ordinary killers, I am afraid that most of the Invincible Realm will be willing to work for Han Donglou for the sake of this massive wealth.
Take that man's head back.
"So..."
Li Tianlan patted the folder on the table.
“A pleasure to work with.”
he said.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Han Donglou stretched out his hand and shook Li Tianlan's hand.
Li Tianlan took the folder and walked to the window.
The rain outside the window is getting faster.
Standing hundreds of stories above the ground and looking down, Li Tianlan could still clearly see everything on the river.
The ripples in the river continue to spread, layer upon layer.
The boat on the river floated quietly.
The rain is still falling.
People on the boat were still drinking tea.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.
His heart gradually calmed down.
Sign this contract, and after the exercise is over, Donghuang Palace will have a real start.
Lee will also have a real start.
"Although the investment is a little less..."
Li Tianlan said: "But I still want to thank you, Mr. Han."
Han Donglou smiled and said calmly: "It's already a lot. I don't want to lose money in vain. After the exercise is over, I may continue to invest more."
"You will definitely do it."
Li Tianlan looked at the rain outside the window and said softly.
Han Donglou smiled and said nothing.
Li Tianlan had no idea what the 1.5 billion given to him by Mr. Han, who kept saying he didn't want to lose money in vain, meant.
Shengshi Fund did invest in Donghuang Palace, and also invested in Shadow, Three Thousand Realms and Ji Leifeng.
But what Li Tianlan doesn't know is that the 3 billion that Shengshi Fund Han Donglou invested in Sanqianjie... so far has given out less than 1 billion.
Li Tianlan has an investment of 1.5 billion.
What he got was 1.5 billion.
Sanqianjie has invested 3 billion, but has received less than 1 billion so far.
Three billion is a lot.
But there is an essential difference between installment investment and one-time investment.
"As long as you have confidence."
Han Donglou smiled and patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder: "Confidence is a good thing, but I'll give you a piece of advice: don't underestimate Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan. Don't underestimate Jiang Shangyu either."
The boat in the river has drifted diagonally opposite the Shengshi Building.
Li Tianlan shook his head and said: "I will not underestimate anyone."
Han Donglou hummed, looked at Li Tianlan, and suddenly said: "Are you under a lot of pressure?"
"fine."
Although he felt that Han Donglou's attitude was a bit strange, Li Tianlan remained calm.
Han Donglou looked at Li Tianlan quietly.
Look at his expressionless face, which doesn't even show any emotion.
He didn't know Li Tianlan very well.
But after several meetings, I could vaguely feel the depression in his heart.
As the successor of the Li family.
There is only one path in his life.
Now he has passed the starting point.
In front of him was the Wang family of Beihai, the heir to Kunlun City.
After that, there may be the entire Wang family in Beihai, the entire Kunlun City, the Chiang family in South America, and more enemies.
Such a life...
"Have you ever been happy?"
Han Donglou suddenly asked a meaningless question.
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time.
"Be happy."
he said.
Han Donglou smiled and pointed out the window, and said meaningfully: "When one day you can stand here legitimately, you will be truly happy."
He turned and walked towards the door of the reception area.
Li Tianlan stood there and looked out the window.
This is close to the highest point of Huating.
Standing here and looking at the outside world is looking down and looking down.
In the mist and mist, the whole world seemed to be under his feet.
"Mr. Han."
Li Tianlan suddenly shouted.
Han Donglou turned around in confusion.
"How about I lend you a piece of glass?"
Li Tianlan stretched out his hand and lightly touched the floor-to-ceiling window.
Silently, the entire glass shattered.
The sword intention rose quietly, and then disappeared into nothingness along with the glass fragments.
Due to the lack of cover hundreds of meters above, cold wind and cold rain poured into the reception area instantly.
Li Tianlan just stared at the boat in the river.
He took a step forward and jumped directly from the Huating building, which was higher than the Oriental Pearl Tower.
Han Xinyan, who had just entered the conference room, subconsciously exclaimed.
Li Tianlan's body soared into the air.
Not falling.
But a maser!
The sky is gloomy and the wind and rain are dark.
Li Tianlan's body was like a sharp sword, tearing through the whistling wind, leaping down hundreds of meters in the air, and pounced straight into the Huangpu River below!
In the wind and rain, his white figure was like a stream of light, carrying an extremely suppressed madness.
There is a boat on the Huangpu River.
The tea drinker on the bow raised his head and looked at the sky.
A white shadow appeared above the sky, and with the heavy wind and rain falling from the sky, it stepped on the bow of the ship.
"Bang!"
Amidst the dull sound, the whole boat suddenly shook violently.
At the same time, there was a huge earthquake as well as the figure drinking tea on the bow of the boat.
The boat rocked, but there were no waves at the bottom.
The ripples continue to spread.
All the waves seemed to be suppressed by the figure drinking tea on the bow of the boat.
His face turned pale for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This appearance is indeed handsome."
He looked at Li Tianlan falling from the sky and said.
Li Tianlan stood at the bow of the ship and said calmly: "How did you know that I would be in Shengshi Building?"
"Do you believe it when I say I guessed it?"
Jiang Shangyu, who was drinking tea alone on the boat, looked at Li Tianlan with a smile.
A trace of blood emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"boom!"
In an instant, with the boat as the center, the water in a radius of hundreds of meters in the Huangpu River suddenly boiled.
A sky-high white wave surged into the sky almost violently, as if it was about to overturn the entire river.
Only the boat was still floating quietly.
Jiang Shangyu on the boat picked up the teapot.
The raindrops floating on the river gradually poured into the teapot.
He lit the fire with a snap of his fingers, and the rain and tea gradually became scalding hot.
The rain on the river boils the rain on the river.
"Drink tea."
Jiang Shangyu, who was simply elusive, poured a cup of tea for Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "We should have chatted long ago, this is the right place."
