The Big Shots Gather

Who is this?

Li Fengheng looked at the Demon Bear with a hesitant expression, but his attitude remained very respectful.

He understood that the person who could be with Li Mubai was probably no ordinary person.

Even if you're not Soul Master.

He must be at least a prominent figure in the region, definitely not some ordinary person!

"Oh, this is also an elder of the Spirit Hall, codenamed Demon Bear. You can call him Old Bear."

Li Mubai introduced the situation with a calm expression.

"Lord Demon Bear." Li Fengheng greeted him with utmost respect, bowing slightly and bending over.

Demon Bear was quite pleased with this title, a smile spreading across his face, "Hey, don't take it so seriously. Since you're Old Li's friend, then you're Old Bear friend too. If you have any problems, just come to me. If it's something I can do, I won't hesitate to help!"

Li Fengheng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Another Titled Douluo's act of kindness—how captivating and precious is this?

Not to mention.

What the other party gave was not just goodwill, but a promise more precious than gold and jade!

This single promise alone has drawn countless people to it.

And now.

He obtained such a promise so easily; it was like finding a needle in a haystack!

Despite being extremely happy.

But Li Fengheng hadn't forgotten that all of this was thanks to the Tenth Elder before him. If it weren't for him, how would he have had the opportunity to come into contact with this Demon Bear Elder?

All of this is thanks to the Tenth Elder!

"Please come inside, both of you."

Li Fengheng stepped aside and guided the two towards the mansion.

Li Mubai and his companion did not delay and immediately set off.

The surrounding area was filled with lush green vegetation, which blocked the view. Li Fengheng also pointed out the direction to go, because this garden-like place was like a maze, making it difficult to find the way forward and even more difficult to find the correct route.

Without guidance, it's not certain that one could find their way out of this maze garden in a short time.

Guided by Li Fengheng, the two quickly reached the end of the garden, where a huge Western-style castle came into view. It was made entirely of white quartz sand, which shimmered in the sunlight and looked extremely sacred and rich.

"My lords, please come inside."

Li Fengheng walked slightly ahead, standing at the castle gate, guiding Li Mubai and the other person into the castle.

"This place is truly luxurious." Upon entering the castle, the Demon Bear looked around and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the paintings hanging on the walls and the antiques displayed on the tables.

Li Mubai was also somewhat surprised.

Looking at the various priceless treasures gleaming on the surrounding tables and the abstract paintings hanging on the walls, even he couldn't help but sigh—

The lives of the wealthy are so simple and unpretentious!

Ultimately, it was his narrow-mindedness that led him to this situation.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen."

Li Fengheng, who led Li Mubai and his companion to the rest area, began instructing the maids to serve tea and water.

It has to be said.

These maids were all tall and graceful, with curvaceous figures, delicate bodies, and exquisite faces. They wore robes that were slit from the calves to the upper thighs, which inevitably aroused people's imaginations and captivated their hearts.

"Elder Li, I was planning to visit you again in a couple of days, but I never expected you to come to visit me in person. It's truly an honor."

Li Fengheng said with a smile.

Li Mubai smiled and said, "Not at all, Mr. Li, you are a giant in cross-border trade with many achievements and outstanding accomplishments. In some aspects, we are no match for you. We have come here today to discuss the construction of the new urban area."

Li Mubai is not one to waste words; getting straight to the point is his way of doing things, and he never beats around the bush.

Li Fengheng immediately replied, "Am I going to start construction on the new city so soon? Elder Li, rest assured, I will definitely put in my best effort and leave no stone unturned. Just tell me if you need my help."

That's exactly what I was waiting for...

Li Mubai thought to himself, while his smile widened:

That's right.

The construction of the new city is fraught with difficulties, and the support of various chambers of commerce will certainly be indispensable.

Therefore, I would like to invite the heads of various chambers of commerce to gather together to discuss this matter, which can also be considered a promotion of the new car project.

"Only you, Mr. Li, have extensive connections and a voice in the business world, so they came to you to help invite them."

Upon hearing this...

Li Fengheng immediately understood.

He understood Li Mubai's meaning: to use him to invite other reputable and powerful businessmen to assist in the construction of the new urban area.

This is a request, and also a test.

Li Fengheng understood.

If he doesn't agree, although he won't necessarily become enemies with the Spirit Hall, he will definitely have no further dealings with the Spirit Hall in the future.

And.

In the future, the business of the merchant guild in Spirit City will definitely face difficulties, and its income will certainly decline sharply.

You need to know.

His Sili Trading Company's main business projects are conducted in Spirit City.

Business in Spirit City accounts for at least half of Sili Trading Company's business.

Without the business source of Spirit City, the competitiveness of Sili Trading Company will inevitably decline significantly. It is possible that the trading company he has built up over many years will be swallowed up by its competitors and eventually disappear.

Therefore, Li Fengheng immediately put the idea of refusing out of his mind.

Even if doing this would cause losses for Sili Trading Company, he must promise to persevere and not give up halfway.

Not to mention.

He won't lose out at all in this!

After parting ways with Li Mubai last time, Li Fengheng went home and carefully considered the matter. Even if the investment in developing the new city was large, the losses would not be significant. On the contrary, there was a high probability of making money. However, the money earned from this kind of investment would be a steady stream, not something that could be made all at once.

The investment is highly likely to yield returns several years later.

However, with the vigorous development of Spirit City, the profits will become higher and higher in the future.

This is an incredibly lucrative opportunity, how could I possibly refuse?!

"Elder Li, you can rest assured and leave this matter to me. Although I am just an ordinary person, I still have some influence in the business world. If I invite those people, they will surely do me the honor of coming."

Li Fengheng spoke calmly, but his expression revealed confidence.

"Alright. Then I'll wait for your news at the Drunken Immortal House three days from now." Li Mubai nodded, then looked at the Demon Bear.

A maidservant peeled grapes from the low table beside him and placed them on a clean white jade plate. The Demon Bear then scooped up the grapes with a spoon, put them in his mouth, and showed a look of enjoyment.

How embarrassing...

Li Mubai pursed his lips, looking speechless.

He was starting to regret bringing this guy along; he had absolutely no sense of propriety.

You are an elder!

You're Titled Douluo!

With that perverted expression, where's your face?

Time flies like an arrow, and the Sun Moon fall like shooting stars.

Three days passed quickly.

"Boss lady, why aren't you taking any customers today?"

The main entrance of Drunken Immortal House.

A young man wearing a light blue velvet-patterned robe looked at the old woman standing at the gate with a puzzled expression.

The middle-aged woman wore heavy makeup, but it couldn't hide her aged, wrinkled face.

This middle-aged woman is the owner of Drunken Fragrance House, and is commonly referred to as "Mama" by the girls there.

With one hand on her hip and the other fanning herself with a small fan, she glanced at the young man who had asked the question before speaking casually, "Today, Drunken Spring House has been booked out by some important people, so we're not welcoming any guests."

"When does the Drunken Spring House open to guests?" the young man asked again.

"Welcome guests? I'll open the door tomorrow." The old 'madam' said seductively, then swayed her hips and walked with alluring steps into the house, leaving the young man with only her back to him.

And at this moment.

The second Drunken Fragrance House.

Li Mubai sat at a table, waiting quietly.

And the Demon Bear.

He was currently being served by a group of young women, eating fruit and drinking fine wine, while his large hands grabbed at her from both sides, causing the women to laugh and scold him in a fit of anger.

Not long after.

Drunken Fragrance House, exquisite and luxurious carriages began to appear one after another.

The first to arrive was Li Fengheng.

After entering the house and meeting Li Mubai and the Demon Bear, he personally went to the main gate to wait for the other important figures in the business world.

"Good evening, Mr. Wang. It's been years since we last met, and you still look as dashing as ever!" Li Fengheng greeted an elderly man who had just stepped down from a carriage with a smile, skillfully striking up a conversation.

"Mr. Li, you've really changed your tune after just a few days. Your Sili Trading Company is far more powerful than my Wang Family's now."

The old man surnamed Wang smiled.

This old man, whose real name is Wang Fuhai, is the patriarch of the Wang family.

The Wang Family is one of the top giants in the entire business world.

Its status and foundation are comparable to that of Sili Trading Company, and in some areas, the Wang Family is even superior!

He's a true business tycoon!!

After some pleasantries, Li Fengheng invited the old man into the house.

In the lobby on the first floor, several large original tables were set up. The moment the old man entered, the "madam" of Drunken Fragrance House immediately ordered her maids to serve tea and water.

"Mr. Zhao, you're still got it!"

"Mr. He, please come in, please come in. Mr. Wang and the others are inside too."

"Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time! Please come in."

After a while, the Drunken Fragrance House was filled with all kinds of luxurious carriages.

Outside the doorway stood many tall, strong men, and perhaps women radiating a chilling aura.

They were all trusted confidants cultivated by these business tycoons, many of whom were powerful Soul Master.

Everyone had arrived.

After exchanging a few words with the group of business tycoons seated in the hall, Li Fengheng went upstairs to find Li Mubai.

After he left, the people in the hall began to talk.

"Mr. Wang, do you know why Mr. Li invited us here?" A middle-aged businessman with a prosperous appearance asked first.

Wang Fuhai slowly shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure about his purpose either. When he came to invite me, I tried to subtly inquire a few times, but his answers were very tactful, and he didn't reveal his true intentions. The Wang Family doesn't want to eliminate any enemies, which is why we accepted his invitation."

"Mr. Zhou, you and Mr. Li have likely had business dealings, and your relationship is quite close. Do you know what Mr. Li's purpose is in hosting this banquet?"

Seeing that Wang Fuhai didn't know, the well-to-do middle-aged man turned to a thin, lean middle-aged businessman and asked.

Zhou Dahai lowered his head, fiddling with the jade thumb ring on his wrist. Seeing someone ask him a question, he looked up, turned to face him, and said calmly:

"Old Li didn't tell me his purpose this time, so I'm not entirely sure. But..."

Zhou Dahai paused slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and continued, "However, he said there's a great opportunity to make money this time. And if this opportunity can be seized properly, it could ensure the family's prosperity for at least a hundred years!"

"A chance to make money? I don't believe it. If there really was a business opportunity, Li Fengheng would want to keep it all for himself. Why would he let us have a share?"

The well-to-do middle-aged man looked completely disbelieving at Zhou Dahai's words.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Everyone has their own thoughts deep down.

But.

Most of their thoughts are the same as those of the well-off middle-aged man.

If there truly were a lucrative opportunity, why would Li Fengheng share it with everyone?

Merchants are driven by profit.

Therefore, this claim simply cannot exist!

At the same time.

Li Fengheng, having reached the second floor, approached Li Mubai and said, "Elder Li, they've all arrived. You may go down now."

Li Mubai nodded, then stood up and looked at the Demon Bear, who was still lost in his sweet embrace, unable to extricate himself.

"Old Bear, you're gone."

"Huh? What? We're going down?"

The Demon Bear quickly squeezed out from the group of women, his dark brown face bearing several lipstick marks.

"Clean your face."

Seeing the other party's expression, Li Mubai's face immediately darkened.

"Okay, right away."

Realizing what was happening, the Demon Bear asked the girl to bring him a basin of clean water, and then washed his face.

Seeing this.

Li Mubai nodded in satisfaction and, led by Li Fengheng, headed down to the first floor.

Tap tap...

A series of crisp footsteps echoed from the staircase leading to the second floor.

The group of businessmen in the hall couldn't help but turn their gazes over there.

As soon as they reached the corner of the stairs, Li Fengheng appeared first, and Li Fengheng even glanced back at them with a respectful expression.

This scene immediately surprised the group of bigwigs in the hall.

What kind of person would command such respect from Li Fengheng, the founder of the Sili Trading Company?

Everyone was secretly speculating, while their eyes were fixed on the corner of the stairs, trying to see who the newcomer was.

The resounding footsteps, at this moment, seemed like a hammer, relentlessly pounding on everyone's hearts, making them incredibly tense.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The figure that everyone had been eagerly anticipating was slowly revealed.

Then a young man wearing a light blue robe and with short hair came into view.

Someone come here.

It was Li Mubai!

The group of powerful figures frowned, straining to recall any memories of the young man before them.

However, after much deliberation, the group could not find a similar figure in their minds, nor could they recall any shared memories.

Who is this person?

A huge question arose in everyone's mind.
