Chapter 32 Win-Win
Although the word "cooperation" made Su Chiming feel some regret in his heart, he understood that despite their blood relationship, it wasn't possible to become intimate with someone after more than a decade of separation upon just one encounter.
Only time and familial affection could slowly bring about a change.
Move them with emotion, bind them with benefits, enlighten them with reason.
One day, Alkaid would become the true True Dragon of the Su Family, leading them to soar to great heights.
Thus, Su Chiming also showed a smile on his face as he shook Alkaid's hand, "Pleasure doing business."
At the end, he even added, "Starting today, I will announce that you are the sole heir of the Su Family."
"There's no need."
Alkaid said, "My ambition lies in the Martial Path, and I have no interest in managing the Su Family's affairs, big or small."
Upon hearing this, Su Chiming felt some regret, but also thought it was to be expected, as only those wholly dedicated to martial arts could aspire to become a Grandmaster at such a young age.
"I understand. Starting today, the Su Family will take care of all your logistical matters. All daily affairs and resources for cultivation will be handled by us, ensuring that none of these will interfere with your focus," stated the Su Family Head in all seriousness.
"That would be best," Alkaid nodded slightly.
Talking to a clever person is indeed gratifying.
Su Chiming...
Not to say he was the smartest in the Su Family, but he certainly was someone with great vision and awareness of the big picture.
As for whether a change in helmsman of the Su Family in the future would affect their cooperation...
Power is in the fist.
As long as he himself was strong, the Su Family would naturally cling to him, like vines to a tree, supporting each other's growth.
If any future heir of the Su Family should prove to be blind to this...
With power in hand, he could easily make substitutions with a single word.
"Although you wish to avoid the distraction of being the public face of the Su Family heir, you still need to have a corresponding status. We will start with Huaifeng," Su Chiming said, but then his tone paused slightly as if struck by a thought, "Regarding Huaifeng... although I know he has wronged you, he now... his days are numbered. The doctor has given him only this month, so...
I hope that when the time comes, you can still go see him for one last time."
Alkaid did not respond immediately.
The original's feelings towards Su Huaifeng...
Were complex.
There was hatred.
But also expectation and longing.
Moreover, as things stood, the cooperation with Su Chiming had been quite smooth...
To see him one last time would be, on one hand, fulfilling the original's wish, and on the other hand...
It was only proper to return favors.
"Alright," Alkaid nodded.
"I understand," said Lin Xia, quickly nodding in agreement.
She then led Alkaid to the finance office on the side.
To handle the transfer of funds.
Seeing Lin Xia and Alkaid leave, Leng Jun hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help feeling a bit emotional, "That's three billion just like that."
It's true that the Bu Zhou Group's annual revenue reaches hundreds of billions, but out of that, the profit is just about twenty percent. After the divisions among various shareholders, the amount that actually reaches the Su Family isn't much.
Not to mention cold, hard cash.
Although Alkaid carried Su family blood, it was ultimately his first return to the Su Family.
To allocate three billion to him at once, and also promise tens of billions within three months...
"I know what you want to say," Su Chiming said with a smile. "If Alkaid had directly asked for six billion in funds just now, I would have been more cautious with my next decision, with most of the tens of billions being in fixed assets. But he only asked for three billion."
Leng Jun's heart stirred, quickly grasping something.
Following that thought, he considered other exchanges between Su Chiming and Alkaid...
What seemed like mundane conversation contained profound implications, and the covert assessment of character and conduct was silently occurring.
And ultimately, Alkaid's performance...
Clearly satisfied them.
"After all, he is one of our Su Family, and strictly speaking, even our eldest grandson," Su Chiming said with a smile.
Leng Jun pondered deeply—although he didn't fully comprehend Su Chiming's ultimate consideration, he understood the sentiment.
This was a favorable mutual engagement.
For a moment, a smile also appeared on his face.
Though he married into the Su family, he was integrally bound to it, sharing in its glory.
Seeing that the Su family had gained such a promising young Grandmaster with the potential to become a Martial Saint, he too was genuinely pleased.
"Please take good care of Alkaid," Su Chiming requested. "After all these years, it was ultimately Huaifeng who did wrong by him, and all we can do now is to make it up to him in life."
"I understand," Leng Jun replied dutifully, nodding.
"Yes, as fellow Martial Artists, you understand even better his importance to our Su Family's future development," said Su Chiming.
He then smiled, "With him as our anchor, we can proceed with our strategy to expand across the country not just without interruption, but with even more confidence and audacity."
Leng Jun nodded profoundly in agreement.
The deterrence of a Grandmaster was enough to make anyone behave and deal with them within the rules.
And as long as it was about following rules and reasoning, the Bu Zhou Group was not afraid of fair competition from anyone.
"A young Grandmaster," Su Chiming said, his laughter growing louder. "A nineteen-year-old Grandmaster, a Martial Path prodigy with the potential for becoming a Martial Saint, and my Su Family's direct eldest grandson..."
The more he spoke, the more he could not hide the amusement in his eyes.
So much so that he could not help but laugh out loud.
"How fortunate my Su Family is! Hahaha!"
