Chapter Nine: The Duanmu Family



Everyone has a background, and a wealthy young man should have an even stronger one. And this background often lies in his surname. For example, Tang Ke's surname comes from the Tang family name.

By the same token, the origin of Duanmu Ci should be "Duanmu".

But these were just guesses at first. However, after Duanmu Ci took out a black card from Citibank in the United States, Tang Ke was almost certain that Duanmu Ci must be from the American Duanmu family!

The Duanmu family is an extremely low-profile and mysterious family, so much so that almost no one outside the family knows about it. Even the Tang family, a top-tier business conglomerate in China, has only heard of it briefly.

The Duanmu family is a Chinese-American family with at least 200 years of history. No one knows how this family survived the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States in the last century, nor does anyone know exactly who the family members are; all that is known is that the family's power is unfathomable.

This is a family shrouded in deep mystery.

Tang Ke felt that he had blown away a corner of the fog.

He seemed to have met a junior member of the Duanmu family who held a very high position. Without such a position, it would be impossible for him to be qualified to carry a top-tier black card from Citibank.

By chance, Tang Ke learned that the Duanmu family had a habit of adopting orphans. After raising them, they would select the best ones and bestow the surname Duanmu upon them, while the others could choose to be surnamed Zhang or Li.

However, Duanmu Ci clearly does not belong to the category of "bestowed surname"; he should be a direct descendant...

With this thought in mind, Tang Ke took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello! Father? It's me."

"Oh, I see. I was wondering if the Duanmu family, who were vying with us for a winery in Baudelaire last year, have any businesses in China?"

"Oh, please answer first. I'll tell you the details when you return to China in a few days."

"Nothing? Not even a single building or shop?"

"Okay, see you later."

Tang Ke put down his phone and fell into deep thought.

According to his father, Tang Tingshu, the Duanmu family has business dealings all over the world, including Hong Kong and Macau, but they have no trace of the Duanmu family in mainland China, which has been booming for 30 years. They don't even own a single piece of land, which is very strange.

So, what should the Tang family, the leaders of Haishan Enterprise, do now that a direct member of the Duanmu family, which has never appeared in China before, suddenly do?

Tang Ke smiled. He had a premonition that perhaps a new round of rise for the Tang family was about to begin.

As the first person to make contact with the Duanmu family, Tang Ke might become a meritorious figure for the Tang family.

And all of this rests on the shoulders of that seemingly calm and collected young man—

Duanmu Ci!

P: The Duanmu family doesn't possess any overly extraordinary power; they're just a mysterious family. So, don't worry about the protagonist's starting point being exaggerated. As I mentioned before, Duanmu Ci prefers investing in real estate and has no interest in manufacturing or finance, which can be considered a limitation.

Furthermore, the Duanmu family's businesses are not located in the country, which makes it even more interesting...
