CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306: THE CENTER OF ATTENTION, THE FASTEST RISING TYCOON WITH A 100 BILLION NET WORTH

Yun City Expo Center.

This year’s business conference in Yun City is being held here. At the entrance of the venue, luxury cars gathered, and prominent figures from the political and business circles arrived one after another.

As the president of the business association, Song Rongmao personally greeted the guests at the door. All the heavyweights had already been welcomed in, but the guest Song Rongmao valued the most today, Lin Fan, had yet to arrive.

The gathered tycoons at the venue were chatting in groups, and most of their discussions revolved around the owner of the newly minted trillion-yuan group, Lin Fan.

Lin Fan became the focal point of this business conference.

"The speed at which Mr. Lin has risen is simply unbelievable!"

"Yun City’s fourth trillion-yuan group and the fastest to rise in history, indeed remarkable!"

"What’s most impressive is the amount of disposable funds Lin Fan has at his disposal for expenditure, truly enviable."

"The entire business world is abuzz today!"

"I’ve only heard of this Lin Fan but have never seen him. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to meet him today?"

"I’ve also never seen him, but I’ve heard he’s quite young, only 21 years old. Truly impressive!"

Everyone envied Lin Fan’s rapid rise. After all, Mortal Group rose so quickly, Lin Fan was so young, and he was extremely wealthy, a true cash magnate.

Many present were worth billions or even trillions, yet their actual available funds were limited. Some even owed vast sums to banks, shining as wealthy figures but being heavily indebted inside.

Mortal Group’s rise came with frenzied acquisitions, buying buildings, land, and planes, each with deals starting from billions, buying Zhou Tian Mansion for 10 billion, buying an airplane for 20 billion... a seemingly endless stream of funds, truly enviable.

Envy to the point of bleeding.

While everyone envied, their curiosity about Lin Fan’s background grew. According to Lin Fan’s own disclosure, he had an uncle, Lin Beixuan, from whom all his wealth came.

As for who Lin Beixuan is, no one knows.

However, Lin Fan mentioned that Lin Beixuan would soon bring hundreds of billions to Yun City to develop Chiba Island.

Many speculate that Lin Beixuan might have something to do with the Kyoto Lin Family.

Anyhow, Lin Beixuan is certainly a formidable super-wealthy individual to provide Lin Fan with such a vast sum.

Noticing everyone discussing Lin Fan, Song Rongmao increasingly realized Lin Fan’s importance. This business conference must have Lin Fan in attendance.

"Elder Song, do you think Mr. Lin will attend today? Could you kindly introduce us?" A middle-aged man moved closer to Song Rongmao and asked.

This person was none other than He Chao, the head of Zhongtong Express, one of the three trillion-yuan tycoons in Yun City!

Song Rongmao replied, "I have invited Mr. Lin, but he has yet to appear. If he arrives, I’ll certainly introduce him to Boss He."

It was only then that He Chao left satisfied.

"Welcome the guests for me; I’m going to make a call."

Song Rongmao instructed his subordinates and then stepped aside to personally call Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, our business conference is about to start. Could Mr. Lin attend?" Song Rongmao politely asked.

Lin Fan said, "I’m sorry, Elder Song. I was delayed by some personal matters and am rushing over now. I might be late."

Song Rongmao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lin Fan was coming, he stated, "No worries, Mr. Lin. Take your time. Please be safe on the road."

At this moment, Lin Fan was sitting in a Rolls-Royce, having just left the hospital.

After hanging up with Song Rongmao, Lin Fan said, "That was Elder Song’s call. Let’s hurry over."

Zhao Jiayi nodded, increasing the car’s speed.

At 3 PM, the business conference started on time, with the guests entering one after another and taking their designated seats.

Sitting at the forefront were the top figures in Yun City’s political and business realms.

It was noted that among Yun City’s three major tycoons, the heads of Zhongtong Express, He Chao, and Yida Mall, Wang Hailin, were seated, but the seat for Shengshi Group’s head, Feng Wanshan, was notably replaced by Lin Fan.

There was immediate chatter among the crowd.

"I’ve heard Feng Wanshan declined Elder Song’s invitation, citing poor health!"

"I suspect it’s an excuse; it’s definitely related to recent events."

"Feng Wanshan has been ensnared by scandals and should lay low."

"I never expected Yun City’s three titans to face a shift so soon. Shengshi’s stock has plummeted recently, while Mortal has risen swiftly. Lin Fan replacing Feng Wanshan is inevitable."

Everyone sighed.

Feng Wanshan had failed to stop Lin Fan and was instead exposed by Lin Fan in a scandal, which led the police to question him. Shengshi’s stock price plummeted, wiping 30 billion off its market value.

This was quite the sensation in the business world. However, not many knew it was Lin Fan’s doing.

It’s said Feng Wanshan fainted from shock after learning about the 30 billion market value evaporation and was sent to the hospital for rescue.

It became a laughingstock in circles.

Feng Wanshan certainly had no face to attend this business conference.

In reality, Feng Wanshan was plotting with his core team on revenge strategies against Mortal Group.

It was expected that Feng Wanshan would not come, but with Lin Fan’s extended absence, curiosity grew among the guests.

They speculated that perhaps Lin Fan was too busy to attend, but it seemed disrespectful to Song Rongmao, as all present took time from their busy schedules to show up for him.

Lin Fan was half an hour late before appearing at the conference venue.

Guided by staff, Lin Fan, accompanied by his secretary Zhao Jiayi, sat in his designated seat.

In an instant, all eyes were on Lin Fan.

At that moment, He Chao, the head of Zhongtong Express, was giving a speech on stage, but everyone’s attention was drawn to Lin Fan.

As rumors suggested, Lin Fan, only 21 years old, was a humble-dressed young wealth magnate and exceptionally handsome.

Most of the tycoons present were middle-aged, having spent half their lives to reach their current status.

Yet Lin Fan’s rise, seemingly within half a month, was considered a miracle.

Everyone’s curiosity about Lin Fan was thoroughly understandable.

Even He Chao from Zhongtong Express, seeing Lin Fan’s presence, lost interest in his speech and quickly concluded it, stepping down from the stage.

Their seats were arranged together, prompting He Chao to head directly to Lin Fan’s side and sit down.

"You must be Mr. Lin Fan. I’m He Chao. Pleased to meet you." He Chao took the initiative to greet Lin Fan.

Lin Fan shook hands with He Chao, courteously stating, "I’ve also long admired President He’s reputation."

Lin Fan had an identity as a courier for Zhongtong Express, meaning He Chao was technically his boss...

Of course, He Chao was unaware of this, and Lin Fan did not mention it.

At this moment, Song Rongmao, realizing Lin Fan’s arrival, went on stage smiling, "Thanks for President He’s speech. I’ve noticed that Mr. Lin Fan is here. Mortal Group just crossed the trillion-yuan market value today. On behalf of the business association, I congratulate Mr. Lin and would like to invite him up for a few words. Shall we welcome him?"

"Welcome!"

Everyone responded, and applause thundered.

Lin Fan was a bit bewildered; he wasn’t prepared to give a speech at this conference.

However, with everyone’s enthusiasm, he couldn’t refuse, so he mustered the courage and went on stage.

Instantly, the room fell silent, awaiting Lin Fan’s speech.
