Chapter 1204: I Trust You to Handle It
Ye Xiao heard the news that Feng Yang had surrendered and smiled slightly, not surprised at all.
Feng Xinming was already dead, so the Feng family was essentially half-fallen. Those Martial Artist guards who originally belonged to the Feng family were no fools. Without Feng Xinming, how could they possibly risk their lives for the Feng family? It was fortunate they weren't kicking them when they were down.
The blame lay with the Feng family's descendants for not becoming Martial Arts experts earlier. Otherwise, when Feng Xinming died, the Feng family wouldn't be in such a predicament.
"Very good!" Ye Xiao said, "You've done well."
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's praise, Fu Donglai immediately became very happy and said to Ye Xiao, "It's all thanks to Brother Xiao. I, Fu Donglai, merely gave a nudge to the endangered building. Oh, Brother Xiao, there's one more matter that needs your decision."
"Oh?" Ye Xiao said, "Isn't this matter over yet?"
"The thing is, I planned to kill Feng Yang, but he offered the entire Feng family's assets in exchange for his life," Fu Donglai said.
"Oh?" Ye Xiao responded with a smile, "Is it a lot?"
Fu Donglai said, "Quite considerable. It seems stronger than our Fu family. My suggestion is for Brother Xiao to visit the Feng family. We haven't entered Feng Xinming's house, and I believe there are some useful things in there."
Fu Donglai's words were quite clear. Feng Xinming was the helmsman of the Feng family, and as the family's controller, his residence must have some things not usually seen. Fu Donglai was essentially telling Ye Xiao that he hadn't taken advantage of the situation, and anything valuable should belong to Ye Xiao.
In other words, Fu Donglai was also showing loyalty at this moment.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I'll make time to visit this afternoon, if there's nothing else."
"There's one more thing!" Fu Donglai said.
"What is it?"
Fu Donglai said, "When we arrived today, Feng Yang had just captured a woman. I found her particularly attractive, so should she be reserved for Brother Xiao?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Feng Yang is not a good person; perhaps this is someone he captured from somewhere. Feng Yang is a beast, but we are not. Let her go."
"Yes, Brother Xiao," Fu Donglai said.
Then the phone was disconnected.
Ye Xiao hung up the phone and stood motionless, contemplating.
Now the wealth of the Zhao family, Feng family, and Liu family could be considered Ye Xiao's. This wealth was immensely vast, so someone is needed to manage it.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment, then dialed a number.
It didn't take long before the phone connected.
"Brother Xiao!" A young man's voice came from the phone, clear and youthful.
Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Is Mr. Tang busy?"
"Brother Xiao, stop joking with me, okay? Hehe, Brother Xiao must have something to discuss now that you're calling," the speaker, Tang Xuewen, said.
Tang Xuewen was Ye Xiao's top manager, overseeing all of Ye Xiao's public assets.
Ye Xiao said, "There's indeed something. Now there's some assets here that need to be merged and integrated into the Sky Wings Group. Is there any problem with that?"
"Oh?" Tang Xuewen was surprised and said, "Brother Xiao, I don't quite understand. Are you saying you've acquired some companies in Bird City?"
"You could say that," Ye Xiao said. "If you have time, come to Bird City."
"I'll come now," Tang Xuewen immediately said.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "You should have lunch first; don't rush."
Tang Xuewen immediately said, "I've already eaten. Besides, even if I hadn't, I would hurry over. I believe when Brother Xiao says a little asset, it surely isn't just a little asset."
"Haha, you kid, you're just a money enthusiast. Call me when you get to Bird City," Ye Xiao said.
Tang Xuewen said, "Yes, Brother Xiao."
Then, Ye Xiao asked Tang Xuewen again, "By the way, how's the music company doing?"
"All procedures are done. I've invited nearly twenty musicians from our country, the Northern Federation, and the Southern Country to compose and write lyrics for the Tulip Girl Band. Progress is swift," Tang Xuewen said with a smile.
Ye Xiao said, "You spend money like it's nothing; that must cost a lot, right?"
Tang Xuewen chuckled and said, "Brother Xiao, don't blame me. This is definitely my most altruistic investment ever, and I invested a lot. Those famous musicians are very proud, and without enough money, they couldn't be secured. So I invited them at three times the usual price."
"Wow, it seems like you're turning them into superstars. Wait, are you planning a big investment for big returns? You can't be investing without a payoff, right?" Ye Xiao knew Tang Xuewen was business-minded and wouldn't invest heavily unless there was a good return.
"Haha, Brother Xiao, you've seen through me. My idea is that the Happy Voices Competition is an excellent investment opportunity. The Tulip Girl Band will be the flagship, and we'll also sign other singers. I believe within two years, we can achieve profitability. Of course, if the Happy Voices results are particularly good, we could be profitable within a year," Tang Xuewen said confidently.
Ye Xiao had to admit that Tang Xuewen was indeed a business genius, capable of accomplishing the tasks Ye Xiao assigned him while fulfilling the ethos of a profit-driven conglomerate. Ye Xiao felt very reassured, realizing he made the right choice in picking this person. Of course, Ye Xiao hadn't foreseen that in the future, Tang Xuewen would stand at the pinnacle of the financial world, but that's a story for another day.
Ye Xiao praised him, saying, "I trust your work; go ahead and do it."
Your work reassures me!
These six words alone were enough to make Tang Xuewen tear up with excitement.
Honestly, Ye Xiao was the hidden controller of this immense conglomerate, and Tang Xuewen was his spokesperson or the CEO of this large consortium, alternatively, an employee of Ye Xiao who also sought to prove himself.
In Tang Xuewen's eyes, Ye Xiao was a titan, capable of achieving many things beyond his imagination, flawlessly and impressively.
As for Tang Xuewen, he aspired to prove himself and show Ye Xiao that he was a gifted and reliable talent.
