Chapter 142

"The collapse of this Qing Aodao resort actually involves the internal strife of the Lin's clan?"

An Sheng looked with surprise at Lin Ying, who was explaining the inside story of Qing Aodao's development, construction, and collapse.

"The concept of the Lin's clan is very broad; rather than a clan, it should be called a chamber of commerce."

Lin Ying looked at Lord Fuli and said, "Members born into the Xia Kingdom's Lin's clan can take an opportunity from Lin's Holdings after they come of age."

"It can be starting a business or taking a position, but once they ask the Lin's for an opportunity, regardless of success or failure, they must implement the policies and strategies originally set by the elders."

"My uncle chose to stay in the country and inherit the wealth of his ancestors, and he also asked the Lin's for resources, so naturally, he needed to implement the elders' strategies, but..."

Lin Ying shook her head lightly as she said this.

Although the Xia Kingdom's Lin's was also profitable, its profitability could not be compared with the overseas Lin's.

Doing business overseas, besides forming cliques for personal gain, actually had another factor that could not be ignored.

Wealth equals influence, and influence can be converted into tangible power and armed strength.

Besides the businesses on the surface, the overseas Lin's also had a large number of unspeakable secret transactions in the dark.

A part of the reason Chen Nian could gain a foothold in America was directly related to the overseas Lin's.

Lin Ying's uncle didn't choose to develop overseas at the beginning; instead, he chose to stay in the country, where he could develop safely and steadily.

He lived off the subsidies of the overseas Lin's clan while trying to copy the overseas development model directly to the country to expand his own influence.

That overseas development model wasn't new; it was just an unspoken rule that everyone accepted.

Wealth = Influence = Strength.

But this didn't work in the Xia Kingdom's Lin's; the truth coming to light was only a matter of time. Lin Ying's uncle was eating the large subsidies earned by the overseas Lin's while trying to cut off the retreat of the overseas Lin's.

Therefore, he was exiled to the tropical continent, and the relevant family members and professional agents all went to jail.

Even the hundreds of millions invested in Qing Aodao were seen as a hot potato by all the Xia Kingdom's Lin's, and this matter even involved some official-level people.

There was no way around it; the initial investment was hundreds of millions, and the subsequent additional investment could be over a billion—the performance was too dazzling.

"He violated the initial agreement, and Qing Aodao became a hot potato that no one wanted."

"In a while, if no one pays the fine, this place will likely become an unfinished project and then be auctioned off, right?" Lin Ying said calmly.

"Just listening to you talk about Qingao Island, I can imagine that your Lin family has deep schemes! Aren't you afraid of ending up like Shen Wansan?" Chen Zhiyu couldn't help but click her tongue secretly, realizing for the first time just how wealthy this rich girl was.

Lin Ying glanced at Chen Zhiyu, turned her head, and said in a calm tone:

"Do you know? Among all taxes, there is a tax called the responsibility tax, and it is actually very simple to reduce this tax: hire disabled people and fulfill positive social responsibilities."

"But here, disability is also divided into different grades; one severely disabled person is worth the tax reduction of three mildly disabled people. Any normal enterprise, out of various considerations, will choose the severely disabled and then give them low-income benefits in every sense."

"We Lin's have many factories, and we also like these mildly disabled people who are treated coldly and shunned everywhere."

Lin Ying looked at Chen Zhiyu and sneered, "No person in charge in Xia Dong wants the Lin's to die."

"And no one will be able to shake the foundation of our Lin's, unless... someone is willing to shoulder tens of billions in debt and wants to fight us to the end."

Lin Ying vividly pretended to be a villain, scaring Chen Zhiyu.

Before meeting Chen Zhiyu, the only things that could make Lin Ying take the initiative to show interest were Lord Fuli and the recovering world and related research.

But after meeting Chen Zhiyu.

There was one more thing that could make Lin Ying interested: 【Daily intimidation or teasing of Chen Zhiyu】.

There was no help for it; Chen Zhiyu was a very bad person, speaking ill of her in front of Lord Fuli every day.

Lin Ying just didn't have any interest or motivation for most things, but she wasn't dead.

The therapeutic medicine was like a mainspring; once Lin Ying was fully wound, she would have the ability to act, but she still didn't have any active interest in most things.

Chen Zhiyu looked at Lin Ying, stunned, and then felt a chill as if cold wind was blowing from all sides, shivering.

An Sheng looked at Lin Ying with a face full of black lines: "Do you rich people have so many schemes?"

"Don't you dare have any ideas about my butt; if I run back, I'll bite your butt."

The little fox's whimpering made the atmosphere, which had fallen into a brief silence, warm up slightly.

And the sightseeing car driven by Lin Ying also arrived at the resort's zoo on the South Island of Qing Aodao.

Under the gaze of the monkey troop in the trees, the electric sightseeing car arrived at the place where the golden lion was recuperating.

All the metal fences in this zoo had been irreversibly destroyed; the monkey mountain, tiger park, leopard park, and the areas where some herbivores were located were all in an uncontrolled state with no one in charge.

Lin Ying scanned the surroundings and sighed.

Although Qing Aodao was under seal, they had sent people here to carry out basic management.

But it was clear that the managers here also knew that there was no future in staying here, so they took their buckets and ran away.

They ran away, but they didn't report it, still collecting the wages and benefits issued by the Lin's Holding Group.

Under the gaze of two leopards and a tiger, the little fox led Lin Ying and Chen Zhiyu to the lion king.

"The lion... is it this big?"

Seeing the golden lion, Chen Zhiyu couldn't help but gasp and look at Lord Fuli:

"You... you twisted its neck?"

Although she had seen Lord Fuli fight a crocodile, seeing Lord Fuli slap the golden lion's neck crooked still made Chen Zhiyu unable to help but feel astonished and speechless.

"Awooo."

The golden lion seemed to understand Chen Zhiyu's astonishment; even though its face was still crooked and its mouth slanted, it still couldn't help but let out a low growl, expressing its dissatisfaction.

"What are you roaring for? I'm finding you a doctor, and you're still not happy about it, right?"

An Sheng stood on his hind legs, sat on the golden lion's head, and knocked on it hard: "Sit still honestly. I'll introduce a friend to you later. If you hurt our doctor even a little, I'll pluck all your mane and send you to the Shancheng Zoo."

"Awooo."

The golden lion couldn't understand An Sheng's complaints, but it instinctively felt the insidiousness radiating from the little fox, snorted coldly, turned its head away, and didn't want to communicate.

Chen Zhiyu clicked her tongue in wonder, mounted the golden lion's back, and began to palpate its spine for an examination.

After a routine examination, Chen Zhiyu roughly understood the golden lion's current situation.

There shouldn't be any major problems; it was just that because of the muscle strain, the neck muscles had contracted, and it might need a period of time to recover slowly.

As for the problem of being bruised and swollen, these were not problems that a veterinarian could handle and could only be left to time.
