CHAPTER 318: 316、BUSINESS SECRETS AGAINST HEAVEN

"The reward has come?"

Luofeng quickly read through the business secret message and chuckled to himself. It indeed lived up to the reward of a special mission. This business secret information really made one happy.

Back in the dormitory, Luofeng lay on his bed and opened up the group chat with his friends from Capital City.

Luofeng: Are you guys around?

Li Bo Kai: I’m in Capital City, at Jingang Racing Track, with a long-legged beauty as my co-pilot. We’re about to race, and might race again tonight. Any advice?

Lin Xiaoyun: I’m in Rainbow Region, and I’m freaking out! My family sent me to check things out, but all I see is a barren hill, nothing there.

Chen Dali: Luofeng, are you coming to Capital City?

Luofeng: Can’t make it this time; I might come next week. By the way, Brother Dali, can you arrange a lab for me and assign a few senior material researchers as well?

Chen Dali: Up to something?

Luofeng: Yes, this matter requires secrecy. If you have the resources, please arrange it, including research assistance. Also, inform them in advance that the researchers cannot contact the outside world before our plan is implemented and must remain under our protection.

Li Bo Kai: Suddenly, I’m excited.

Lin Xiaoyun: Me too, I’m thrilled!

Chen Dali: @Luofeng: What exactly is the research about?

Luofeng: A small red rectangle, mobile technology and stacking technology...

Chen Dali: Say no more. I’d rather not delve into it.

Li Bo Kai: Not asking anymore, we’ll wait for next week. But just one thing, is there a cap on the funds?

Luofeng: As long as your three families can shoulder the responsibility and aren’t worried about transnational economic investigations, I think we can make a lot.

Li Bo Kai: Which place?

Luofeng: Sakura Country.

Li Bo Kai: Then there’s no problem. My family can handle that kind of thing. I’ll try to prepare more funds.

Lin Xiaoyun: Old drivers, wait for me.

The brothers from Capital City had reaped benefits on several occasions now. Therefore, what was there to fear about risks? If Luofeng alone were trying to get a bargain, he might end up getting a raw deal instead. But with three families involved, anyone wanting to retaliate would have to face their combined power.

On Monday, accompanied by Chen Ping, Luofeng registered the business permit for a high-end comprehensive supermarket. The name of the supermarket was also confirmed: "White Wing." The registered company name was White Wing Food Comprehensive Limited Company, and its logo was a pair of white angel wings. The entire process was completed in just half a day.

Once the registration was done, Gu Yongjie started the promotion, which included asking students to help distribute flyers. The little mute girl, of course, wouldn’t miss this opportunity. She was at Shu City Second College distributing flyers and very seriously explaining White Wing Supermarket to passersby.

Bai Lu also knew this supermarket belonged to Luofeng and had agreed to work part-time there when it opened.

Regarding Luofeng opening the supermarket, Bai Lu was moved, but she felt even more lost. She knew all too well the gap between her and Luofeng; it was like a pair of wings—he soared in the heavens while she could only look up from below. Sometimes, Bai Lu was also troubled. The Bai Lu of the past had vowed not to fall in love in college and to work hard after graduation to bring her mother back. But now, her heart was in turmoil.

"Bai Lu."

Luofeng walked over to Bai Lu and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

Seven yuan at White Wing Supermarket, Bai Lu thought, rendered somewhat speechless. She knew the price; with that kind of money, she could get a serving of braised pork at the school canteen.

"By the way, the supermarket opens next month, and all your part-time work will be there, got it?"

Bai Lu nodded silently.

"If you come across any trouble at the supermarket or if someone gives you a hard time, just let me know," Luofeng continued.

Bai Lu still nodded silently.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the second stage of the mission to help Bai Lu!]

[After obtaining the business secret, you will receive special stock market information!]

Luofeng smirked. This prop card is interesting. Bai Lu is truly a lucky star. Having the business secret information, I was already in command. But now, with this special stock market information, I am about to go godlike.

His father’s West City development project, pushed by the three Capital City brothers, had already secured over a billion in profit. So? This time, I’ll take these three brothers and give Shiseido a proper cleanup.

On Friday afternoon, Luofeng skipped class. He was now in Capital City. Chen Dali came to pick him up in a Rolls-Royce, and both Li Bo Kai and Lin Xiaoyun were there.

"Brother Feng, I’ve been waiting ages for you! You’re finally here!" Li Bo Kai exclaimed.

"Exactly! This week has been so long and agonizing," Lin Xiaoyun added, equally excited.

Luofeng retorted, "You guys are constantly posting in the group chat about going to bars and ordering spicy duck heads, and then you tell me life is hard to bear? If anyone else knew about your ’divine’ lifestyle, wouldn’t they tear you a new one? And you claim it’s tough?"

Chen Dali cleared his throat, "I didn’t go."

Li Bo Kai asked, "Brother Feng, what’s the plan this time?"

"Let’s talk in the car!" Luofeng said. The four of them headed to the garage and got into the car. Once inside, Luofeng continued, "How much capital have you prepared this time?"

"Is there a maximum limit?" Li Bo Kai asked.

"One small target should be no problem," Luofeng said.

"What about five?" Li Bo Kai probed.

"Do you have that much money?"

"HEH HEH, I don’t personally, but we can all get it. After all, we can use the gold mine in Rainbow Region as collateral!" Li Bo Kai chuckled.

Luofeng was stunned. This Li Bo Kai really is crazy.

Chen Dali countered, "If your old man finds out, won’t he break your legs?"

"My old man said that gold mine is mine and no one can take it from me," Li Bo Kai explained. "Even though I know that’s just talk—there will definitely be family disputes when he’s gone—I figure I should grab as much as I can now."

"Li Bo Kai, do you have a way to raise that kind of money?" Lin Xiaoyun asked.

"Gongsang Bank in Capital City," Li Bo Kai said. "The interest is a bit high, but they can help with funding issues."

"How much interest?" Lin Xiaoyun inquired.

"2.95 percent per month! It’s right at the edge of the legal limit," Li Bo Kai stated firmly.

"That’s disgusting!" Lin Xiaoyun complained.

"It’s a bank, after all, not a charity," Chen Dali gave Lin Xiaoyun a derisive look.

"We won’t need a month," Luofeng said with a smile. "According to my estimates, we move in the day after tomorrow, pull out on the 27th, and the 28th is Thanksgiving. We’ll leave them a Thanksgiving gift and be on our way. I reckon all the capital will be in our accounts by the 28th. We only need to use the funds for four days!"

"If we needed it for ten days, we could try to negotiate with the bank and offer them at most one percent interest," Li Bo Kai said. "By the way, Brother Feng, how big is the profit margin this time?"
