Upon hearing Jiang Wenguang's words, Lu Yuan's face showed a hint of astonishment.
"How do you explain this?"
"Because there are many tycoons throughout the country, and these tycoons have very large sums of money. They usually control dozens or even hundreds of camps, and they hold the life and death of these camps in their hands. So now they are targeting us."
Jiang Wenguang then spoke with Lu Yuan about these conglomerates.
Lu Yuan then realized that these conglomerates had already been established in various places.
The chaebols are mainly used to control the connections between various camps.
Originally, they were just small businessmen, but later, because there were no laws or rules in the apocalypse, their ambitions grew increasingly inflated.
In order to seize more funds and wealth, they extended their reach to every small camp.
Especially for these participating camps, the control over these food supplies is undoubtedly the most powerful tool for controlling the morale of the camps in the entire post-apocalyptic world.
Once they control the grain, controlling people's expressions will be a piece of cake.
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
He hadn't expected these conglomerates to be so powerful, and that their influence was constantly spreading throughout the world.
"Damn it, these interviewees possess such vast wealth, they want to control people's lives and deaths. It's already difficult enough for people to survive in this apocalypse, and they still want to do this. Do they even know what the consequences of their actions will be?"
Jiang Wenguang sighed helplessly.
"Actually, they are born to suck blood and exterminate insects. With them around, most of the resources in the camp will be taken away, and we have no way to deal with them."
These conglomerates are everywhere. Even if we kill one, more will rise up! This is the apocalypse; no one can control their expanding power!
The resources, money, and military power these people possess are beyond our imagination!
After hearing their conversation, Xiao Shan couldn't help but worry.
She put down the documents in her hand and lost all interest in looking at the reports.
Xiao Shan walked over and gently sat down in front of Lu Yuan, her face full of worry.
"Should we join these conglomerates to ensure our safety?"
Jiang Wenguang, who was standing to the side, pondered for a long time before speaking.
"I think they definitely won't let us go. The main problem is that as long as we don't join the conglomerates, they'll keep forcing us to join. They'll hold us by the throat and make us their dogs!"
Lu Yuan sneered.
"I've never been threatened like this before! Humph, this is the first and last time. To hell with these damn tycoons!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly recalled the salesman from the Gold Company he had met during the day.
"By the way, have you heard about that Gold Investment Company?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenguang immediately nodded.
"I understand. This Gold Investment Company is a very well-known company in this area! They mainly cooperate with various camps!"
It's a small investment company; as long as the plants in the camp dominate, they can get a share of the profits!
"Is this company considered part of a chaebol?"
Jiang Wenguang made a sound and then shook his head.
"Their strength is negligible. Compared to real conglomerates, their small companies are basically like a tiny bug on an elephant!"
Upon hearing his description, Lu Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.
"Are these conglomerates really that powerful?"
"Yes, there seems to be a rule among the chaebols now: they don't fight each other; they unite against external forces."
However, the number of conglomerates has already been determined by internal rules within Terman, which stipulates that no more conglomerates can be allowed to join and take away their resources.
If new conglomerates enter the market, they will unite to prevent their rise! Therefore, those who aspire to become new conglomerates can only survive by slowly building their fortunes through establishing small investment companies!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan continued to ask.
"If we acquire their company, how about we set up our own investment company? If we set up our own investment company and invest in ourselves, will they still keep chasing us?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Jiang Wenguang's face showed a hint of astonishment.
After pondering for a long time, he finally nodded.
"Perhaps it really is possible. If we have an investment company invest in us, Lu Yuan will definitely let us off the hook."
These large conglomerates generally don't pay much attention to smaller investment companies; they just let them develop on their own.
However, once these small companies have grown to a certain size, these conglomerates will then target these investment firms and acquire them all at once!
An idea popped into Lu Yuan's mind, and he nodded to himself.
"Alright, I'll go back to that place tomorrow and see if I can find that investment company. I plan to have a proper discussion with this Jinzhi Company."
Let's see if we can take over his company. If we can, we can escape the clutches of these chaebols!
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Jiang Wenguang felt that this was definitely a very risky thing to do.
If these conglomerates discover this, Lu Yuan will likely face all sorts of pressure and underhanded tactics from them.
However, Lu Yuan's mind was made up, and he had no intention of continuing the conversation.
After hearing this, Xiao Shan and Jiang Wenguang couldn't help but sigh slightly, as they also had no way to deal with Lu Yuan.
The first thing Lu Yuan did after getting up the next morning was to quickly check the time.
Today is the last day the organizing committee will be open according to the schedule.
After today, Lu Yuan will make arrangements for the upcoming matches.
After all, the round of 16 is a very important competition.
After changing for a while, Lu Yuan went straight to the organizing committee.
Upon arriving at the destination, Lu Yuanyuan spotted that familiar figure from afar.
However, the other person's clothes were somewhat torn, and it seemed that he hadn't recovered from the beating he received yesterday.
The man was still searching for his prey in the surrounding area.
Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder, and his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw a familiar face.
