Chapter 565: Sign the Contract! The Past of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall!

Doing nothing, yet getting 10 billion for free?

And there might be additional benefits down the line?

Such a good deal really exists?

Xu Jingming hadn't expected that Song Feng had called him over for this matter.

He'd seen people desperate to borrow money, but being desperate to give money away — this was his first time experiencing it.

Still, Song Feng's attitude left nothing to criticize; he truly treated him as one of his own.

"We're practically family, why speak as two households? Qiu Yun and I will get married sooner or later.

Whether this money stays with me or with the Song family, it's all the same.

If I really need money, I'll just come straight to you, Uncle."

Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Song Qiuyun's pretty face flushed slightly, looking a touch shy.

Yet a trace of envy flickered across Jiang Chuxuan's expression.

As an orphan, she would probably never get to experience this kind of warm family atmosphere.

"Good, good, good — with those words, Uncle can rest easy."

Song Feng said "good" three times in a row, the joy on his face completely undisguised.

His daughter didn't mind Xu Jingming having multiple women, so as her father, he wouldn't interfere too much either.

His only worry was whether Xu Jingming might seduce and then abandon her.

Now that he had this promise, a great weight had finally been lifted from his heart.

"Though that's what we say, the proper procedures still need to be followed."

His spatial ring flickered slightly, and a contract appeared in Song Feng's hand, which he handed over:

"How about this — I won't bother talking about splitting profits with you.

This is the share contract for Extreme Equipment Company. I'm transferring 30% of the company's shares to you.

This way, you'll be the company's second-largest shareholder.

Extreme Equipment Company pays out dividends every quarter.

Only now the company is in a period of rapid expansion, so those dividends will likely all be reinvested into the market to grab market share.

Of course, if you really need money urgently, transferring tens of billions from the company's account wouldn't be a problem."

Seeing this, Xu Jingming had been preparing to refuse again.

But he thought about it — if he didn't sign,

Song Feng would most likely feel that the orders that came because of him were a bit hot to handle.

So he smiled and said: "Then I'd better obey respectfully rather than decline."

The contract was made in duplicate; after signing, each party kept one, and they moved on to dinner.

Song Feng was clearly in a good mood, raising his glass repeatedly throughout, and even saying he must meet Xu Jingming's aunt when the chance arose.

Xu Jingming nodded in agreement while keeping him company with drinks.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was perfectly harmonious.

"There are quite a few places worth visiting around Ningnan City.

Later I'll take you and Uncle around for a look, to see the night scenery here."

After three rounds of drinks, as dinner was drawing to a close, Xu Jingming invited with a smile.

Song Feng and the others had come all this way with great difficulty; he naturally had to fulfill his duties as host.

"No need, our flight back to Sichuan Province is at nine.

Order volumes have increased, and the company still has plenty of matters to handle."

Song Feng shook his head and said with a smile:

"Besides, I don't need any company. Xiaoyun and the others just arrived — you should spend more time with them."

He had been that age himself once, so he naturally knew what young couples in the throes of romance needed.

Moreover, Xu Jingming and Song Qiuyun were often in a state of being together little and apart much.

Song Qiuyun naturally caught the implied meaning, her little face flushing bright red in an instant.

Xu Jingming, however, remained composed, merely nodding slightly: "Don't worry, Uncle. I understand."

"Alright, then we'll be off. Good luck at the Genius Tournament — if we have time, your Fifth Uncle and I will watch the matches online too."

"Goodbye, Uncle."

"Goodbye."

At the restaurant entrance, Xu Jingming took the two women back to the Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall headquarters.

Song Feng and Song Hai, meanwhile, got into the Song family's dedicated off-road vehicle that had been waiting by the roadside, heading to the airport.

"Second Brother, isn't Extreme Equipment solely under your personal shareholding?

Why give Xu Jingming a third of it? Aren't you worried he'll meddle in our industry management?"

The moment they got in the car, Song Hai asked, clearly puzzled.

A family business is best managed under one person's unified control.

Song Feng had split off precisely because he couldn't stand having some of his decisions interfered with by his eldest brother Song Zhan, and had ultimately agreed to divide the family assets.

Yet now he was giving away so many shares again — this was something Song Hai hadn't figured out.

"I'm really not worried."

The scenery outside the car window flashed past rapidly as Song Feng smiled and began to explain:

"Extreme Equipment Company is an extremely important asset for our Song family.

But for Xu Jingming—no, for the future Xu Jingming, it was nothing at all.

Based on the current situation, Xu Jingming would most likely succeed Su Qingli in the future and become the master of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

In addition, he would also have a clan of his own.

With Lei Ting Wu Guan as his backing, his own clan would surely grow rapidly.

Our small extreme-equipment company might still be of some use to the current Xu Jingming.

But the future him might not really take a liking to it."

The previous master of Lei Ting Wu Guan, Su Tianrui, was himself an orphan.

After rising to prominence, he only took one ordinary person as his wife.

He produced an heir like Su Qingli, and never formed a clan of any scale.

After his wife unfortunately died, Su Tianrui became even more devoted to cultivation, attempting to break through to a higher level of Supreme Powerhouse, and took no new wife.

But Xu Jingming was different.

He was only twenty years old, yet already had entanglements with two girls.

It could be foreseen that the future Xu Jingming would eventually build a very large clan and possess an industry of his own.

The industry their Song family treasured, Xu Jingming might be able to build with a wave of his hand.

"True enough."

Song Hai came back to himself, then said with some feeling:

"Speaking of which, the previous master of Lei Ting Wu Guan really was an extraordinary man.

A peak ninth-tier Law Saint, yet he didn't have even the slightest thought of founding an ability-user clan."

Su Tianrui was so absorbed in cultivation that he not only failed to found a clan, but instead handed all affairs of Lei Ting Wu Guan to the deputy master, Hu Jinyu, to manage.

An ordinary person who dared to play it this way would long since have been sidelined.

But Su Tianrui, by sheer force of his peak ninth-tier strength, suppressed all dissent.

Yet even so, after Su Tianrui disappeared, the lurking crisis finally erupted.

Because Su Tianrui had not founded a clan of his own before his disappearance, and had only Su Qingli as an heir,

Su Qingli at that time had only just broken through to become a seventh-tier Grandmaster.

Therefore, the deputy master naturally became the acting master.

Had Su Qingli not suddenly broken through to ninth tier two years later, within a few more years Hu Jinyu would have been converted to the official master.

Yet even so, Su Qingli only appeared to be in an infinitely glorious position on the surface; in reality her standing was precarious.

Recently, fortunately, Xu Jingming's joining and Ling Shuang's return had made her position somewhat more secure.

"Su Tianrui was only forty-six years old back then, yet already a peak ninth-tier Law Saint.

If it had been me, I probably wouldn't bother with other miscellaneous affairs either, but would focus single-mindedly on breaking through to a higher level."

Song Feng, for his part, could understand Su Tianrui's approach.

In the more than two hundred years since the Primordial Energy Revival, Blue Star had produced only six Supreme Powerhouses in total.

These six Supreme Powerhouses held transcendent status, and their strength was terrifying, standing above all ability-users on Blue Star.

He had once seen the Grand Xia Supreme Powerhouse, President Zhou, from afar in reality; the other party had merely given him a look,

and it gave him, an eighth-tier Great Grandmaster, the feeling that his life was no longer under his own control.

Such god-like strength was the highest peak that all ability-users yearned for.
