Buying a Stake in the Shen Family

Shen Haoran, who was standing nearby, was also stunned when he saw the payment notification. The money had been transferred from a personal account at Global Bank, and a personal transfer limit that high could only mean that Ye Feng held a Global Bank supreme black card. This mysterious Mr. Ye must have a powerful background.

Ye Feng also left the transfer of ownership to Sun Ming. He was quite satisfied with Sun Ming, who was highly capable at getting things done, though he was a little too eager to please him.

"Patriarch Shen, Sun Ming told me the Shen Family is having cash flow problems. Could you tell me about them? Perhaps I can help." With a large sum of money in hand, Ye Feng wanted to own some businesses of his own. Besides, he couldn't pass up such a good chance to fleece the system.

Shen Haoran's eyes lit up. He knew Ye Feng had a terrifying amount of cash at his disposal, and he wanted to use his resources to save the Shen Family.

"Mr. Ye, I'm a few years older than you, so forgive me for taking the liberty of calling you Brother Ye. It's a long story. A few years ago, everything was smooth sailing for the Shen Family, and we grew to a scale of 50 billion Huaxia Currency. All the credit goes to my younger sister, Shen Haoyue. She had a discerning eye and a tremendous talent for business, and she doubled the company's market value in just two years. When the Fang Family, one of Demon City's four great families, saw my sister's talent, they planned to arrange a marriage between her and their ignorant, good-for-nothing youngest son, Fang Zhiping. My father strongly opposed it at the time. Then, on one occasion when Fang Zhiping was harassing my sister, he was kicked in the groin and became impotent. The Fang Family went mad with revenge against us, relentlessly suppressing our various businesses. My father also died of a sudden heart attack because of it. You could say there's a deep-seated grudge between our two families."

"Brother Ye, if you help the Shen Family, the Fang Family will bear a grudge against you for it, so you need to think it over carefully."

Seeing how candid Shen Haoran had been with him, Ye Feng no longer had any reservations. He was also very curious about the young genius Shen Haoyue. As for the Fang Family bearing a grudge against him, he wasn't afraid. He had a system, after all. If he were afraid of this and that, how could he do the system justice?

"Brother Shen, I've decided to invest in the Shen Family. How much capital do you need?"

Shen Haoran's spirits lifted. After saying all that, he had held out no hope that Ye Feng would invest. It would be very unwise to take on a behemoth like the Fang Family for the Shen Family's sake.

"Brother Ye, thank you so much. The Shen Family's current market value is about 35 billion Huaxia Currency. If you invest 10 billion, I'm willing to give you a 35% stake."

"Brother Shen, have your legal team draft the contract. My investment can be transferred at any time."

Shen Haoran hurriedly contacted the legal team to draft an equity transfer agreement and had it delivered to the Cloud Villa.

Ye Feng looked it over, found nothing wrong, and signed his name. He then transferred 10 billion Huaxia Currency.

"Brother Ye, thank you so much. Rest assured, I won't let your trust in me down."

Ye Feng was puzzled. He had spent 10 billion Huaxia Currency, so why hadn't the system responded?

"System, why didn't I get any cashback?"

[Host, the system provides cashback on purchases. Investing in a stake does not count as a purchase, so you will not receive cashback.]

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

[Host, you didn't ask.]

"You unfilial son! Tell me, how can investments and acquisitions count as purchases?"

[Host, once your cumulative cashback reaches 10 trillion, the system will upgrade and count all your expenditures toward cashback. At the same time, cashback will be issued in the form of points, with 1 point awarded for every cumulative 100 million Huaxia Currency spent. The points mall will also open. Please keep up the good work, host.]

After Ye Feng finished talking with the system, the three of them left the study. When Shen Ruomiao saw him emerge, she rushed over and hugged him.

"Big Brother, you're done talking business with Daddy, right? Can you play with me now?"

Shen Haoran looked at his daughter and said, "Miaomiao, Daddy has sold this house to Uncle Ye Feng. We need to pack our things and go live in another home."

"Big Brother, can I still come here to play?"

Seeing the anticipation on Shen Ruomiao's face, Ye Feng crouched down and stroked her head. "Miaomiao, you can come whenever you like. I'll always welcome you. Brother Shen, there's no rush. You can take your time packing. I won't be moving in anytime soon."

"Big Brother, you're so nice." Shen Ruomiao kissed Ye Feng on the cheek.

After playing with little Ruomiao for a while, Ye Feng said goodbye and left.

Back in his car, Ye Feng took out his phone and looked at flights from Demon City to Jin City. After some thought, he chose a first-class ticket for ten the next morning.

Thinking that he would soon see his parents and little sister, whom he hadn't seen in so long, Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement. First, he would go pick out a few gifts.

He drove to Wanda Plaza and made his way to Patek Philippe, a place he knew well.

When the sales associate Mo Qingqing saw Ye Feng arrive, she warmly went to greet him. He had left a deep impression on her: last time, he had bought a Patek Philippe Phantom worth seven million in one go, and he was so handsome, too. How wonderful it would be if something could happen between her and such a handsome young man.

"Hello, Mr. Ye. I'm Mo Qingqing, a sales associate here. Welcome back."

Ye Feng looked at her and thought she seemed familiar. She was probably the same Mo Qingqing who had assisted him last time. He walked up to her and said, "Please recommend two watches for me, one for a middle-aged man and one for a young girl."

Mo Qingqing thought for a moment, then led Ye Feng to a display case.

"Mr. Ye, this Patek Philippe Timepiece suits your requirements very well. This men's watch has a dignified, imposing design while remaining very understated. It uses the finest materials and is not only highly accurate but also resistant to drops and water. The price is 3.5 million Huaxia Currency."

"I'll take this one. Please recommend a women's watch too."

"Mr. Ye, please come this way. This Beating Youth was designed especially for young girls. Its pink exterior brings out a youthful vitality, and Patek Philippe's reputation is the best guarantee of its quality. This watch costs 2.8 million Huaxia Currency."

Ye Feng studied the Beating Youth carefully. It really suited Ye Lin, and it would look good on Li Xiaona too. Remembering that he had never given Li Xiaona a gift, Ye Feng decided to buy two.

"I like this Beating Youth very much. I'll take two. Please wrap them separately."

"Of course, Mr. Ye. Please wait a moment. I'll wrap them for you right away." Mo Qingqing soon brought over three gift boxes. The men's watch was in a blue box, and the women's watches were in pink ones.

Ye Feng paid by card and left.

Mo Qingqing gazed absently after him as he walked away.

"Qingqing, stop staring. Mr. Ye's already gone far away. A young, wealthy heir like him wouldn't be interested in women like us."

"Sister Zhang, I wasn't. I was just imagining how nice it would be if Mr. Ye were my boyfriend. You could never get tired of looking at that devastatingly handsome face, especially when he's so rich."

"Haha, yes. Who wouldn't like a handsome young man who's rich too?"
