Chapter 604: The Yang Brothers' Worries

Yang Fan and Yang Qihang exchanged a glance, feeling that their father had already gone mad.

Stubborn and obstinate, and unwilling to listen to advice.

After leaving Yang Qing's office, Yang Fan and Yang Qihang plotted another little scheme.

The two brothers came to their secret little hideout.

This is a high-rise residential complex built by the Imperial City in Shallow Water Bay; each of the two brothers has a large flat here.

It's mainly used to avoid women.

After entering the room, Yang Fan turned on the jammer.

Yang Qihang then took out a cigar, cut it, and lit it.

When he thinks about problems, he smokes; nicotine helps him focus and clears his thoughts.

After Yang Fan had everything ready, he sat on the other side of the desk.

He brewed himself a cup of strong coffee.

Once both sides were ready, they got down to business.

Yang Fan spoke first, complaining.

"Father made a bad move."

Yang Qihang also furrowed his brow.

"The key is that he doesn't even realize it."

"He thinks that as long as it doesn't affect others' interests, he'll be fine."

"He treats everyone as stupid."

"Before, he was still somewhat of a nouveau riche."

"No matter how much he jumps around, it's just tossing and turning in the entertainment industry; at most, adding a media outlet."

"At most, it would upset a few squid, but now he has offended Yingjiang."

"Interfering in high-tech is just eyeing Yingjiang's forbidden delicacy."

"Yingjiang's experts aren't fools; they don't understand future trends."

"In the future, our Yang Family might end up on the primary watchlist."

Yang Fan took a sip of coffee; the bitterness and richness concentrated his mind.

"You need to come back quickly; from now on, leave Yingjiang's affairs to the manager."

"By the way, do you have any squid girls in your Yingjiang dealings?"

Yang Qihang nodded.

"Madelin Morgan, I met her at a gathering."

Yang Fan scrutinized him, and Yang Qihang nodded.

"Yes, that's exactly what you thought; I deliberately got close to you."

"Moreover, she's already pregnant."

Yang Fan took another sip of coffee, his mind racing.

"I must marry someone domestic; you don't have to."

"Let's see how weighty Madelin is."

"If her weight is enough, you marry her."

"If her weight is insufficient, you drag it out."

"However, you need to first do some asset protection."

"Use the family office to carry it out."

"The benefits of the marriage must be equal."

"If the other party can't come up with enough chips, she's not worthy to be your wife."

"Moreover, many of the investments in Yingjiang need to be concealed; they can no longer be conducted under the Yang name."

"Handle Yingjiang's affairs quickly; the focus of Wandering Dragon should gradually shift to Gangdao."

"Within two years, you must return to take over management of the group."

"Father is now too inflated; look at what he's been tossing around during this period."

"His reach is too long."

"We are merely businessmen, not politicians."

"Wealth and real power are still fundamentally different."

Yang Fan patted his head, filled with deep worry.

Yang Qihang took a hard drag on his cigar; the tobacco smoke entered his mouth, went into his lungs, hit a cycle, then was exhaled.

"I understand."

"From now on, our focus should shift to power; otherwise, under Yingjiang's malicious targeting, we could easily become someone else's delicacy."

"Unless we fully shift to the Mainland."

"But look at what Father has done."

"He thinks that if he does things secretly, others won't understand, but as soon as you go to Jingcheng, all these things come out—do you really think others are blind?"

"The Mainland isn't safe either."

"Truly worrisome."

Yang Fan thought again.

"We should learn from those reclusive families and gradually hide the family's wealth."

"From now on, avoid going public as much as possible."

We can't let others find our connection.

Furthermore, we should rope in as many forces as possible, strengthening the fusion of our benefits with those of the world's major conglomerates.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

Yang Qihang nodded, adding.

Now we still have a problem to solve.

We need someone to enter Hong Fu; we can't just support others—we must also get in ourselves.

Yang Fan and the other person exchanged a glance.

They realized neither of them could.

The remaining siblings are still young.

Only one remains.

Yang Ou.

But this guy is now making waves in Eternal Splendor, acting and directing, having a blast.

Unreliable.

Worrisome.

As for Yang Yuntian and the others, they're still underage.

We can only sacrifice the sister.

The two brothers made up their minds.

This is unavoidable; at this point, if not Yang Ou, who else would go?

Later they thought of their grandfather.

Unfortunately, Yang Rong has already become entangled with WanDao.

After all that effort, he finally became a deputy bureau chief.

After deciding, Yang Fan and Yang Qihang united with their grandmother to call a family meeting.

Yang Qing was puzzled; this was the first time such a formal family meeting took place.

Yang Rong rushed back from WanDao.

Inside the secret chamber.

Yang Rong knew a bit about the situation and opposed Yang Qing's recklessness, but given the circumstances, they could only seek to lower the risk.

After all, this family was founded by Yang Qing, so they couldn't overdo it.

Yang Fan took the head seat; today's meeting was chaired by him.

The others sat up straight, all feeling the unusual atmosphere.

Besides Zhao Man Ting and Yang Ou, there are no other women here.

Excluding other women is to keep the family's benefits unified; adding a few women would turn it into a benefit contest.

"We're holding this meeting today because our Yang Family is starting to face a major challenge."

"As we expand, we naturally begin to encroach on others' benefits."

"Movies, TV, newspapers are still tolerable to others, but if we get into military issues, we'll become a thorn in their side."

"For instance, the industrial computer I developed, and the backbone network my father built."

"My industrial computer isn't obvious now, but in ten or twenty years its function and value will become very clear."

"My father's backbone network was derived from a military network."

"It contains enormous military value."

"It will inevitably draw others' attention."

"Whoever affects Yingjiang's control over this technology will become Yingjiang's future enemy."

"So we must prepare in advance, prevent trouble before it happens."

"This is a plan I made with Yang Qihang."

"Everyone, take a look."

"Well, this is aimed at us!"

Yang Qing wasn't angry; instead, he was pleased.

The children have grown up.

Although he thinks it's no big deal, after all he never thought of stealing Yingjiang's food; at most he'd do odd jobs and pick up leftovers.

Yingjiang has no reason to spend a huge cost to target him.

But the children's advance preparations were without fault.

This is to preserve the Yang Family.

He doesn't mind, knowing that with him present, even if the Yang Family declines, it won't fall to mere multimillionaire status.

At least he's a hundred-billionaire.

So he feels inflated, with an urge to break free of constraints and remake the world.
