Chen Yong said, "All I know is that it's a folk martial arts sect. Their style is rather old-fashioned, they're quite powerful, and they have substantial assets. But most of their people don't understand business very well, and they're very cautious in how they handle things."
Lu Chengwen nodded. "Mei Shao, Shi Yin, what did you find?"
Qi Meishao said, "The Cleaver Sect is extremely domineering in Saihe. On the surface, they've behaved themselves these past few years, but in reality, far from the emperor's reach, they've done plenty of things that crossed the line and made a lot of money."

"More than two billion."
Lu Chengwen's eyes lit up. "That rich? Haha!"
Luo Shiyin said, "Their investment strategy is very simple. They're the typical kind who don't understand it and know they don't understand it, so they signed a very conservative principal-guaranteed profit-sharing arrangement with the bank. They can take over a hundred million in dividends every year. Oh, and we can't rule out deposits in other banks either. Judging from their charts and investment habits, that's highly likely."
Lu Chengwen pinched Luo Shiyin's cheek. "My darling Shi Yin has improved so much!"
"Hey, we're in a meeting."
Lu Chengwen said, "Now that we've secured that plot of land, according to the plan, shouldn't we move on to the next step?"
"Yes. We need to promote the cruise ship, negotiate the approval documents for the simple docking port here, as well as the docking and operating permits."
"Get the cruise ship going first."
Lu Chengwen made the decision, then asked, "What's after that?"
"The hotel business."
