Chapter 90 Inventory of Industries; $16 billion



Villa restaurant.

Dani, Hess and others sat at the dining table.

After making preparations for the meal, Dani picked up the knife and fork and elegantly cut a piece of steak sprinkled with white truffle slices.

She picked up the beef with the fork and sniffed it lightly, her beautiful eyes lighting up.

It seems that there is something different.

She put the steak into her mouth expectantly and chewed it gently, as if she was savoring it. Gradually, she closed her eyes. This steak gave her a wonderful enjoyment, both in terms of aroma and taste.

"This...steak, is there any fungus ingredient added to it?"

Dany opened her eyes and asked with a strange light in her beautiful eyes.

Ling Zhou nodded with a smile and looked at Hess and others.

Their performance is similar to Dany's.

"Your Highness Zhou is right. This dinner is indeed a wonderful experience! Oh! My dear Your Highness Zhou, is it possible that Rainbow Island is rich in this kind of food? Oh my God! I regret transferring Rainbow Island to Your Highness."

Hess said exaggeratedly.

Of course, I do regret it a little.

But given his status, he wouldn't go back on his word just because of some ingredients or seasonings.

But he was really depressed at the moment.

I have owned Rainbow Island for so many years, how come I haven't discovered this magical ingredient?

Ordinary steak, sprinkled with a little white truffle, can taste so amazing.

Hearing this, Ling Zhou laughed and said, "Whether Rainbow Island is rich in truffles is still unknown. White truffles have very demanding growth conditions, and they grow underground. We are lucky to see a white truffle breaking through the ground today. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to taste this delicacy today."

"Your Highness Zhou, can you tell us about it? Where is it generally produced? Is it suitable for artificial cultivation?"

Dany put down her knife and fork and asked with a smile.

The others also pricked up their ears. In their opinion, this was more than just a delicacy on the table.

If they hype it up, they are confident that they can turn it into a diamond on the dining table.

It can be compared with top ingredients such as caviar and foie gras.

I have to say that Dani, Hess and others have good vision.

In the past, truffles were indeed called diamonds on the dining table.

It cannot be denied that there is no suspicion of hype here.

Of course, he was just guessing.

He was just an ordinary person in his previous life with limited vision. He didn't know whether truffles were highly valued and whether they were hyped.

Ling Zhou smiled and said, "I also saw this kind of fungus food accidentally in a book. As I said before, it is called truffle, and the one we are enjoying now is called white truffle. In addition, there is black truffle, which is not as strong in taste as white truffle. If you look through the books in your family's collection, you may be able to find some relevant information. Truffles mostly grow at the roots of broad-leaved trees, usually under pine trees and oak trees. It not only has a special smell, which can bring people a different taste experience. Moreover, it is also rich in nutrients such as protein and amino acids. As for artificial cultivation, I'm sorry, although I haven't tried it, according to the books, truffles cannot be cultivated artificially because of the harsh growth environment."

"Unable to cultivate..."

Dani, Hess and the others were stunned, with regret clearly revealed on their faces.

Ling Zhou smiled and said nothing else.

As for where truffles are mainly produced, he didn't say.

Since he was the first to discover it, he decided to send people to the truffle producing areas of his previous life to grab some land. Whether for his own enjoyment or to hype it up and create a luxury product, it would be a good choice.

In the following time, Ling Zhou accompanied Dany and the others as they enjoyed delicious food, drank their treasured red wine, and chatted.

All of them were from aristocratic families, and regardless of gender, their elegant movements while dining could be regarded as a beautiful sight.

After the meal, the chef served some fruit desserts, such as grapes or apples, which are very suitable to be enjoyed with truffles.

"It was a wonderful dinner, but unfortunately, His Highness Zhou said that white truffles have very demanding growing conditions and are in very low yields."

Dany shook her head with regret on her pretty face.

Ling Zhou smiled and said nothing.

After dinner, Dany and others left the villa.

After Danny and the others left, Ling Zhou lay on the sofa in the living room, resting his head on the maid's thigh, looking at the night view outside the window, feeling a little puzzled. This time the system task was completed, why didn't the system refresh the new task?

This is a bit unconventional!

I remember that last time, as soon as a task was completed, a new task was refreshed.

After thinking for a while, Ling Zhou stretched, turned over, and lay on the maid's thighs. A charming fragrance filled his nose. Feeling the heat between the thighs, the maid's face flushed.

Another maid came forward, squatted down, and massaged his shoulders.

At this time, Chen Yiru came over and said, "Your Highness, the royal family has sent a message that the assets left by Ling Hai have been counted."

Hearing this, Ling Zhou waved his hand, and the maid helped him sit up and said, "Sister Yiru, let's go out for a walk."

Chen Yiru nodded, and walked out of the villa with Ling Zhou and walked along the beach.

Behind them, several bodyguards followed at a distance.

"Plot point: Ling Hai controlled six medium-sized and large group companies and one multinational group during his lifetime. He held 10% to 30% of the shares in 26 Internet companies around the world. He directly controlled three Internet companies. He also held shares in the three major well-known Internet companies in China, ranging from 5% to 10%. In addition, he had absolute control over three technology companies and several scientific research institutions. In addition, he also had various other industries such as real estate, luxury cars, yachts, etc. The total value was about 52 billion US dollars, and the design industry included department stores, real estate, e-commerce, entertainment, technology, the Internet and other fields. Unfortunately, Ling Hai had limited control over these companies, especially those large group companies, which had many bad debts."

On the beach, Chen Yiru described the status of all the properties under Ling Hai's name one by one.

"Hmm! How does the royal family plan to deal with these industries?"

Ling Zhou asked.

"The royal family's intention is consistent with your plan. They want to sell off those companies with limited potential and cash out. The more promising technology companies, Internet companies, and entertainment companies will remain and be managed and developed by the royal family."

Chen Yiru replied.

Ling Zhou nodded, this is not bad.

“How much money can be cashed out?”

Ling Zhou asked.

“It’s estimated to be around $16 billion.”

Chen Yiru replied.

Ling Zhou's eyes lit up. 16 billion! It was enough for him to squander for a long time.

"Um, Your Highness..."

Looking at Ling Zhou's shining eyes, Chen Yiru shouted speechlessly.

"Ah? Sister Yiru, what else?"

Ling Zhou smiled, but he had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that his father would not agree to his request so easily. This was 16 billion US dollars.
