Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1354 - 1356: Let’s Start with 50 Billion

Lu Xiaobu stood up and left the meeting hall, he needed to give Li Qiang some time to recover.

He wasn’t a stingy person, Li Qiang hadn’t been with him for very long, and even though Li Qiang rose through the ranks by borrowing his reputation a bit, his achievements were largely his own effort.

Therefore, if Li Qiang had shown from the beginning that he wanted to start his own enterprise, Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t have made it difficult for him.

However, Li Qiang was too slick, which led to the scene just now.

But this can’t be entirely blamed on Li Qiang, Lu Xiaobu holds some responsibility too.

After all, when he took Li Qiang in as a lackey back then, it was precisely because he valued Li Qiang’s slickness and flattery.

Lu Xiaobu had left, but Li Qiang was still lying limp on the ground.

At this moment, his heart was pounding incessantly, nearly leaping out of his chest!

What a thrill!

Just one step away from being dead!

"Brother Li, Brother Li, get up quickly!" Shen Yu hurriedly went up to help Li Qiang to his seat to let him recover.

Li Qiang took a sip of water, recovering somewhat.

However, his head was still feeling a bit dizzy.

But there was one certainty, any remnants of betrayal in his mind had completely vanished!

Zhang Meng was able to redirect the gun away from his head at the last moment.

Similarly, during the same time, he could have easily ended Li Qiang too!

Honestly, a wave of regret surged within him, perhaps if he had contacted the domestic side earlier, he might have gained much more!

"Who exactly was that earlier..." Shen Yu, seeing Li Qiang had recovered a bit, couldn’t resist asking.

"My Young Master, Lu Xiaobu." Li Qiang didn’t bother questioning why Shen Yu brought someone and didn’t even know who the person was, he just gave a bitter smile and replied.

"Lu Xiaobu?!" Upon hearing the name, Shen Yu jumped three feet into the air: "That’s Lu Xiaobu!? The internationally renowned Lu Xiaobu?! Your relative?"

"Not a relative, I’m the Young Master’s lackey." Li Qiang shook his head.

"Gulp!"

Shen Yu swallowed hard!

He understood, everything became clear!

He understood why Li Qiang was terrified upon seeing Lu Xiaobu!

It turned out, the seemingly powerful Li Qiang was merely a lackey beside Lu Xiaobu!

He also realized why back in the car, they said he wouldn’t recognize Lu Xiaobu even if he saw him!

Of course not!

Lu Xiaobu was right in front of him!

However, upon gaining this understanding, a wave of fear welled up within him!

Lu Xiaobu was actually terrifying to such an extent!

But amidst the fear, a sliver of excitement bubbled up, for he had actually met Lu Xiaobu?!

Even dined with Lu Xiaobu?!

He even helped Lu Xiaobu?!

Oh my god! Am I going to hit the jackpot?!

And just then.

Zhang Meng walked in again.

"Brother Meng." Li Qiang stood up quickly: "Thank you for saving my life earlier!"

"It’s just your own choice." Zhang Meng shook his head: "The Young Master asked me to tell you to find him when you’re rested."

"Alright, I’ll go right away! I’ll go right away!" Li Qiang nodded quickly.

"Right, Shen Yu, you’re coming too." Zhang Meng looked at Shen Yu.

"Me? Okay, okay, okay!" Shen Yu’s head nodded like a pecking chicken!

...

Soon, in another private room, Li Qiang and Shen Yu met Lu Xiaobu again, just after they had separated.

"Young Master!" Li Qiang greeted respectfully.

"Young Master Lu, I previously failed to recognize a great person, beg your pardon!" Shen Yu said hurriedly.

"I have two things for you to handle," Lu Xiaobu said while yawning.

The jet lag was really hard to handle, truly uncomfortable.

"At your command." The two nodded.

"Li Qiang, go find that organization, the one Shen Yu mentioned, I’ll have Zhang Meng accompany you, take them down, any problem?" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently.

Since there were people here, he was too lazy to do everything personally.

"No problem!" Li Qiang immediately assured him.

With strong support like Zhang Meng, combined with his own influence and setup here, taking them down wouldn’t be difficult.

"Good, very good." Lu Xiaobu nodded, then looked at Shen Yu: "You’ll set up a trading company here, I’ll have connections from the domestic side contact you to purchase minerals."

"Alright, thank you, thank you Young Master Lu!"

How astute Shen Yu was!

He immediately sensed Lu Xiaobu was offering him benefits!

First, business connections, the profits were sure to be substantial!

But of course, one can’t be overly greedy; maintain moderation for surely abundant profit!

Secondly, it was officially connecting with the Lu Group!

This second benefit was much greater than the first!

"Alright, get to work. Li Qiang, find me a room, I need a rest." Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily.

"Yes!" Li Qiang nodded.

Then, the three, including Zhang Meng, all went downstairs!

"This time it seems I can waste quite a bit." Lu Xiaobu leaned on the sofa, stroking his chin while looking at the piggy bank displayed in the system.

Do the math, twenty tons of gold only increased by twenty percent.

Upon calculating, just reaching a hundred percent would require a baseline of five to six hundred billion.

Not to mention, there’s the matter of breakthrough.

...

It must be said that Li Qiang had developed remarkably well over the past few years.

With Zhang Meng’s assistance and his relentless efforts.

In just three days, they took that organization down!

"Young Master, mission accomplished, everything is under control now!" Li Qiang reported with excitement.

This wasn’t a small organization, to use "making a daily fortune" was not an exaggeration.

And now it’s under his control; making a daily fortune meant him... oh wait, it meant the Young Master now!

"Good, got injured?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Li Qiang’s bandaged right leg and asked.

"Thanks for your concern, Young Master, it’s just a minor injury!" Li Qiang nodded.

"Here, take this." Lu Xiaobu tossed an Immortal Bean over, then turned to Shen Yu who had come along: "How about your side?"

"Everything is completely set, and we’ve cleared all the relationships, absolutely green lights!" Shen Yu said confidently.

He was beginning to guess what exactly Lu Xiaobu planned.

"Good, Zhang Meng, inform Sister Lan to give Shen Yu’s company an order." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "Let’s start with a five hundred billion order to test the waters."

"Oh, okay." Zhang Meng nodded.

"Five hundred billion?!" Shen Yu almost fainted upon hearing the number!

Did he mishear?!

Was it five million, not five hundred billion?!

Dear me! A five hundred billion mineral order?! This is insane!

Considering South Africa’s total annual mineral exports are only about five to six thousand billion!

And this is taking up a tenth of that with one order?!

Even before considering any circumstances?!

Young Master Lu, what do you need so many minerals for?!

His head felt a little dizzy, but soon he realized that wasn’t the case for only him!
