Wang Bingxia expressed her concerns about the funding, and Wang Qingtian said he would find a way. At this moment, Ling Tian also smiled.
"Uncle, let's find a way to acquire these three companies, and then we can try to secure some cash. I imagine those other families are eyeing Baijin Real Estate and Baijin Appliances. You can also get involved, and use that to force them to compromise and give us some cash as compensation."
"Haha, good idea! Ling Tian, honestly, your talent in business is no less than your talent in medicine."
"Uncle, you flatter me. It's all thanks to my master's good teaching..."
...
At 7 PM, the people who had attended the meeting last night once again gathered in the Wang family mansion's conference hall. However, compared to yesterday, the third son of the Wang family, Wang Qingshan, was no longer present. Wang Qingshan, implicated by his son, had lost his inheritance rights to the Wang family's assets. He now only had a house and a yearly living allowance of two million yuan from the Wang family. This amount was not even enough for Wang Qingshan's monthly expenses in the past.
"Alright, you've been discussing all day. Tell me, how do you plan to divide this family?" Old Master Wang said, giving his eldest daughter, Wang Yulin, a look. Wang Yulin operated her computer, and a chart appeared on the large screen in the conference room. This displayed all of the Wang family's enterprises.
"Our Wang family has 22 enterprises and 1 billion yuan in liquid cash. This is the profitability and debt situation of these companies!" Wang Yulin, the Wang family's financial director, stated expressionlessly. Old Master Wang narrowed his eyes, observing everyone with a smile.
"Little Ling, you own 50% of our Wang family's shares. You have the priority choice!" As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes focused on Ling Tian's face, a mixture of envy, jealousy, and hatred filling the air.
Ling Tian respectfully nodded and then said, "It's not convenient for me to express an opinion on this matter. I have fully entrusted my father-in-law to handle it. Whatever he chooses, I will respect it. My priority choice is also handed over to my father-in-law!"
Ling Tian's flattery made Wang Qingtian feel incredibly pleased. He was an honest man, cautious and risk-averse. Because of this, his siblings never took him seriously. He never expected his future son-in-law to bring him such honor.
"Uh, Ling Tian and I have discussed it. Our family wants the controlling stake in Baijin Pharmaceutical, Shennong Agricultural Science, and Yitong Logistics, plus a 50% controlling stake in Baijin Real Estate and Baijin Appliances!"
"No, I object! Big Brother, aren't you asking for too much?" Wang Qinghai, the second son of the Wang family, immediately raised an objection. Baijin Real Estate and Baijin Appliances, two companies with promising profit prospects, were what he desperately wanted! With the eldest brother asking for 50% of the shares, and the Bai family also taking some shares, he, Bai Qinghai, would only be left with scraps.
Wang Yufei also chimed in, "Exactly, Big Brother, you're too greedy!"
"Heh heh, it's fine, we can negotiate..." Wang Qingtian's face revealed a foxy smile. The Wang siblings were all surprised. Their usually honest eldest brother seemed to have been possessed by something, as if he had transformed into a different person.
After several hours of verbal sparring and haggling, Wang Qingtian's family finally secured the controlling stakes in those three companies. Wang Qingtian also gave up all his shares in Baijin Real Estate and Baijin Appliances, receiving five hundred million yuan in cash in return. The other Wang siblings also obtained what they desired, each gaining partial equity in Baijin Real Estate and Baijin Appliances. Old Master Wang looked at the distribution results with a mysterious smile on his face.
After the meeting, Ling Tian went to visit the Old Master alone.
"Grandpa, I have a humble request."
"My child, why are you being so formal with Grandpa? Just say what you need to say."
"I want to move out. While living in this Wang family mansion is not bad, I need to practice my skills and research certain things. My current residence is always inconvenient..." Ling Tian was telling the truth. Due to the strict security within the Wang family mansion, Ling Tian knew that there were always two experts monitoring and protecting his safety in his own courtyard. Ling Tian had many secrets, and he didn't want them to be discovered.
Old Master Wang smiled and nodded, "Yes, you're right. I haven't considered it thoroughly. Young people yearn for freedom, living a free and unrestrained life. Being by my side, an old man, is indeed not comfortable. How about this, within a radius of several dozen miles around our Wang Family Village, there are still over a dozen residences. Tomorrow, I'll have Chen Yi take you to choose one."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Ling Tian was very grateful. The Old Master was truly treating him exceptionally well.
"Oh, and try to choose one that's closer to your in-laws' home. After you and Bing Xia get married, it will be convenient for her to visit her parents often."
"Uh, okay, Elder."
After bidding farewell to Old Master Wang, Ling Tian found Chen Yi. Chen Yi handed him a map, which was a map of the area surrounding the Wang family mansion in Wang Family Village. The map marked the locations of dozens of residences, some of which were already occupied and marked.
Ling Tian returned to his room and opened his computer, bringing up satellite maps of the relevant locations. He began to study them, comparing them with the map. His master had once told Ling Tian that to achieve success in cultivation, one needed four essential elements: wealth, dharma, companions, and location.
Wealth is money; with money, one can buy various elixirs, cultivation techniques, and resources. Dharma refers to cultivation techniques; a good technique can yield twice the results with half the effort. Companions, or Dao companions, are important because many top-tier cultivation techniques require two people to cultivate together, harmonizing yin and yang to avoid qi deviation and reach the peak. The arranged marriage with Wang Bingxia was also chosen by his first master, Master Daoyuan, due to Wang Bingxia's special physique, which perfectly complemented Ling Tian's.
The last element is location. Cultivating innate techniques requires places rich in spiritual energy, also known as innate spiritual energy, which, when absorbed by the body, transforms into true essence. Cultivating in areas with sparse spiritual energy versus areas with abundant spiritual energy is entirely different. In the two days Ling Tian had been at the Wang family mansion, he could feel that the concentration of spiritual energy here, while much richer than in other parts of the city, was still far inferior to that of Longpan Mountain. This was also a significant reason why Ling Tian wanted to choose a new residence. He still bore the deep-seated hatred of his family, and his enemies were far beyond what his current strength could handle. Ling Tian needed to seize every moment to become stronger! This included his decision to accept the Wang family's assets, as financial resources were also an important component of strength!
