The person the Qin family sent this time was no nobody, but an elder with considerable influence within the family.
After all, this is a transaction worth hundreds of millions.
These days, hundreds of millions are no small sum. Unlike in later years, when any movie can easily gross billions at the box office.
A few hundred million is a lot of money these days; its cash value is almost the same as billions in later years, and it can do so many things.
It has to be said that the Qin family really suffered a huge loss this time, almost to the point of serious injury.
They can afford the 500 million yuan in compensation. But they will definitely learn their lesson.
Zhao Chen had a firm grasp on their weaknesses. After all, if Zhao Chen were to go all out and reveal everything, the Qin family would be truly finished.
Of course, many others also perished along with them.
They were also betting that Zhao Chen wouldn't dare to do that.
But Zhao Chen was different from these scions of noble families; he had a kind of mad, rebellious spirit. The things he did were things that ordinary scions of noble families couldn't possibly accomplish.
Perhaps only someone like Zhao Chen, with a special background who later regained his noble status, could do such a thing.
However, regardless of the circumstances, now that Zhao Chen is willing to give them a chance to make peace, the Qin family naturally accepts it immediately.
However, once they moved to the port city, the Qin family's influence naturally diminished considerably.
After all, their reach couldn't extend that far. This naturally gave Zhao Chen more room to maneuver.
Five hundred million wouldn't normally be a lot for the Qin family. The problem lies in the fact that Qin Feng had previously invested heavily in the internet industry, even developing software to directly compete with Tencent.
As a result, his skills were no match for his opponent's, and he was utterly defeated, which only made him the subject of gossip.
The most critical issue is that the other side possesses some crucial evidence against them.
Even if Zhao Chen doesn't expose these things now, for the Qin family, it's still a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall and take their lives at any time.
That evidence was indeed very damaging.
Zhao Chen has plenty of ways to make use of it. He doesn't need to do anything else; just revealing a tiny bit of it to the other mortal enemies of the Qin family will be enough to give them a hard time.
Therefore, at this point, the Qin family had no choice but to back down.
The person in charge of the peace talks this time was Qin Yumo, the third master of the Qin family.
Qin Feng had to call him Third Grandfather.
Qin Yumo has always valued Qin Feng quite a bit, and Qin Feng has consistently performed very well over the years.
Prior to this, he had been the key successor that the entire family had been grooming.
But after a series of setbacks, the Qin family seems to be considering whether to keep Qin Feng in his position.
After all, these incidents have caused the Qin family enormous losses.
The defeat in the northern bear country had already dealt a heavy blow to the Qin family, and now they've suffered another major setback in the domestic internet sector.
It would be a lie to say that no one in the family had any objections.
In fact, Qin Feng's position has always been coveted by others, and he has always been watched by people.
They wanted to bring Qin Feng down at any time so that they could rise to the top!
Therefore, while these failures didn't immediately force Qin Feng to step down, they did begin to shake the resolve of the others. They were all seriously considering the matter.
"Xiaofeng, you didn't handle this matter well enough."
“You need to learn from this experience. We old guys are still willing to put the Qin family in your hands. It’s not a bad thing to suffer a little when you’re young.”
"But you can't keep suffering losses; you have to learn from them!"
Do you know where you went wrong this time?
Upon hearing Third Master Qin Yumo's words, Qin Feng immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake:
"Third Grandfather, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made an enemy of Zhao Chen..."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Qin Yumo was a little disappointed:
"Xiaofeng, you haven't grasped the most crucial point of the matter yet."
"Although our Qin family is slightly inferior to the Zhao family, we are not much worse off."
"Offending the Zhao family is one thing, but what about just Zhao Chen?"
"So what if he's a prodigy? He hasn't grown up yet."
Qin Feng was somewhat taken aback when he heard his third grandfather say this, as there were indeed various opinions within the family. The main objection was that he shouldn't have made enemies with Zhao Chen; everyone wanted to form an alliance with Zhao Chen to do business and engage in various collaborations.
After all, Zhao Chen's reputation as the God of Wealth is gradually spreading throughout the industry.
Almost everyone who collaborates with Zhao Chen makes a profit.
At this moment, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask:
"Third Grandfather, how should I correct this?"
Qin Yumo smiled, then calmly said:
"Your mistake was that you revealed your trump card before you had enough strength to kill your opponent."
"What's worse is that you've given them leverage over you."
"As the saying goes, the victor is king and the loser is villain. As long as you win in the end, no matter what means you use, people will applaud you."
"Everyone will praise you and think you are right."
"But you failed, so everything was wrong."
"But failure isn't terrible; what's terrible is having your fatal weakness exploited!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng became even more frustrated.
He had known all this for a long time, but this time he was overwhelmed by various things, which led him to make many wrong decisions.
"Third Grandfather, I have learned my lesson. I will definitely be more careful with my words and actions in the future, and think twice before I act. I will not be as impulsive as before."
Qin Yumo nodded calmly, and then began to talk about other things at home:
"The Chen family will send Chen Lihua over to be your wife. We've agreed to that. You should prepare yourself and get to know her well."
"Your position is precarious right now. Having a good wife as your support will be better for you. Then, those people won't dare to say anything more."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's gaze sharpened. He had met Chen Lihua before; she was fairly good-looking, but she was brainless, and he didn't like her.
He prefers women like Zhao Ruxi who are independent and self-reliant, and who can also provide him with support and advice.
But now that the old men in the family have made the decision, he can't voice any other opinions now, even if he has them.
After all, he still needs the continued support of these old men to maintain his current position.
He also wants to become the next head of the Qin family!
So, in the end, he nodded in agreement:
"Alright, everything is up to you grandfathers to arrange."
Seeing his expression, Qin Yumo nodded and said:
"That's right. Don't worry, we old guys won't harm you."
"We also hope that you will bring greater hope and chances of success to the Qin family, and that you will also help the Qin family to have more descendants."
“I know you’re not happy about this, and I know what you’re thinking. As for those women from the Zhao family around you, you can keep them. But don’t bring them into the open. After all, these women were once Zhao Chen’s sisters, and they can still be useful if necessary.”
"At least I can still have your children, right?"
After saying that, Qin Yumo laughed heartily. As long as the family prospers and the next generation lives a better life, these old folks will be happy.
When Qin Feng heard his third grandfather say this, the resentment in his heart dissipated considerably.
He didn't like Chen Lihua, but as long as she didn't interfere with his affairs, he could tolerate her.
Thus, the marriage between the Bai and Qin families was settled, and there were no further objections from top to bottom, nor from the two parties involved.
After the two families join forces, they will definitely clash with the Zhao family. Then we'll see how they handle things.
However, now that they have arrived in the port city, the Bai family's most important task is still to send the money out.
Otherwise, if Zhao Chen goes berserk, they really won't know how to handle the situation.
Sometimes, it's really an awkward situation. Zhao Chen's family is very wealthy and powerful, but he's fearless and his crazy antics are incredibly exaggerated, which is really baffling.
However, the Qin family has experienced many ups and downs, and the current predicament they are facing is not their worst moment.
This is the foundation of a powerful family. Although they value this matter, they won't truly take it to heart.
At this moment, anything is possible for them, and the outcome is still uncertain.
A temporary setback doesn't mean it will last forever. Let's get through this hurdle first.
The auction was actually targeted at the Qin family. Although it was called an auction, very few people actually bought anything.
The reason for sending someone influential from the Qin family was to prevent Zhao Chen from causing any more trouble.
Don't try to rip them off when you're giving them money, or you'll really have no way to explain yourself.
Having Qin Yumo personally oversee the process will make things much easier and ensure no mistakes are made at any stage.
Qin Feng still felt quite ashamed about this incident.
But there's really no way to avoid losing face. So, I'll just have to accept the punishment...
Fortunately, nothing too unexpected happened, and the 500 million yuan was gradually transferred to Zhao Chen's hands in this way.
As soon as Zhao Chen received the money, he immediately called the Qin family:
"Thank you everyone. Next time there's a project that brings wealth, remember to call me."
"You're welcome to challenge me anytime. Don't worry, all the information I obtained has been destroyed; I still have that much credibility."
He then ended the battle with the Qin family.
But he knew very well that there was more fun to come.
There was no way to completely wipe out the Qin family.
Zhao Chen has indeed found a lot of evidence this time, but it is clearly not enough to bring down the Qin family in one fell swoop.
Of course, some information that needs to be revealed will inevitably be disclosed.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Therefore, Zhao Chen acted swiftly.
He didn't reveal the crucial information, as it had far-reaching implications.
However, he sent some information that could cause trouble for the Qin family directly to his allies, letting them have their way with it.
After Qin Yumo and Qin Feng finished handling the matter, they did not immediately return to the capital. Instead, they carefully observed the situation in Hong Kong.
They also discovered that the port city was a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it a perfect place to cultivate some special forces.
Driving a nail in here is a very good choice.
But they soon discovered that the entire Hong Kong area was filled with Zhao Chen's spies and influence. As for how he discovered this, it was naturally because Zhao Chen deliberately displayed his strength to them.
The meaning is quite clear: if they want to cause trouble, they might not be able to get back.
Zhao Chen is truly capable of doing something like this.
However, if she went back like that, she wouldn't be Qin Yumo anymore.
He brought quite a few people with him this time, and even though Zhao Chen's side had some very powerful figures, he was still not afraid.
So he actually stayed in the port city for a few more days and met with several of the legendary big shots.
Among them is the Shang family, who are now very famous in the entertainment industry.
Legend has it that they were all involved in the underworld and controlled a large part of the power in the entertainment industry.
Some celebrities were even forced to make movies for them to earn money and launder a lot of money.
And in fact, these things really do exist.
This kind of thing is absolutely forbidden in mainland China nowadays.
But in reality, some people do just that. At this time of year, many places are still not entirely peaceful, and the security situation needs improvement. Therefore, there are quite a few underworld figures everywhere who are doing very well.
But as a large family, they really wouldn't stoop to doing that. However, that doesn't mean they don't have influence behind the scenes.
Especially after witnessing Zhao Chen's powerful methods in many ways, they naturally had new ideas.
We can't let Zhao Chen stand out alone. If things continue like this, they'll really have no way to survive.
Therefore, they all started thinking about whether they could find a cooperation opportunity in the port city, or make a breakthrough for themselves.
This time, Qin Yumo met with the legendary big shot, Shang Qiang.
"Mr. Shang, I've long admired your name."
"It's our first meeting. Mr. Shang is truly charismatic and lives up to his reputation."
Shang Qiang looked at the old man in front of him and didn't dare to act rashly. Although he was a big shot in Hong Kong, he was nothing in front of this old man.
Although their influence is limited to the capital, they could potentially destroy their entire territory with just a single word.
This is no joke; after all, they can now order their troops to launch various attacks against them. It's just a matter of whether they're willing to do so.
Although he has only been back for a short time, Shang Qiang has a clear understanding of the situation. He is not the kind of traitor who would collude with outsiders to do this or that.
Therefore, Shang Qiang treated this old man with utmost respect.
"Mr. Qin, you're too kind. You're making me feel ashamed."
"Elder Qin, is there something you need for me to come all this way?"
Qin Yumo smiled and said directly:
"Of course there's something I need to discuss. It's a big business deal that I'd like to talk to Mr. Shang about."
Upon hearing Qin Yumo's words, Shang Qiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to flatter her, saying:
"I am deeply grateful to Elder Qin for thinking so highly of me. I will do anything I can, even go through fire and water!"
"I have a group of brothers under my command who are quite capable and should be able to handle any task assigned by Elder Qin!"
