Chapter 710: Chapter 713: Undercurrents Surge

”This Qin Tian, where did he come from? He’s quite formidable.”

In the President’s office of the Huaxia Dream Entertainment Company headquarters in Beijing, Sun Youcai, the President of Huaxia Dream, sat in his seat, looking over the briefing given to him, smoking a cigar, and musing in a daze.

The content of the briefing was mainly a summary and induction of Tianyun Entertainment’s recent activities, and then Sun Youcai suddenly saw that in the past two or three months, Qin Tian from Tianyun Entertainment Company had been very active.

First, he annexed an important subsidiary of Liao Entertainment Company, and then he suddenly announced signing contracts with Chen Mingdao and Zhang Yimou, among five other influential heavyweights in the Huaxia entertainment circle.

With that move, Tianyun Entertainment Company’s strength was secured, and including debts, its valuation on the market had already reached nearly two billion!

Such a strength was basically on par with Huaxia Dream.

”How has Tianyun Entertainment grown so quickly in this year? Their total assets are eighty billion now, huh? Thinking about uprooting Huaxia Dream’s number one throne in the entertainment circle?”

Muttering to himself, the bald-headed Sun Youcai touched his shiny, reflective head and let out a cold laugh.

Had it been half a year ago, Sun Youcai would have never considered Tianyun Entertainment worth his attention, but during this half year, first, Liao Entertainment crumbled, followed by Tianyun Entertainment taking the opportunity to expand, and this left Huaxia Dream restless—

The formidable Tianyun Entertainment had pushed him into a corner with no way out!

Sitting in the office, pondering left and right, Sun Youcai still couldn’t think of any strategies to contain Tianyun Entertainment’s expansion in the short term. Anxious in his heart, he then got up, drove his car, and went straight to the Long Family mansion in Beijing.

The Long Family of Beijing, one of the most powerful among the top families just below the four major families in the city.

The Long Family used to be known as the fifth major family of Beijing, but after their decline, coupled with the rise of the Ye Family, the Long Family could now only be considered within the top ten families of Beijing, probably not making the top five anymore.

But even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse; after all, it’s a Beijing noble family, and someone like Sun Youcai couldn’t help but look up to them.

Moreover, the Long Family held thirty percent of the shares in Huaxia Dream Entertainment Company.

Faced with this tricky situation, it was only natural for Sun Youcai to come and discuss strategies with one of the major shareholders, the Long Family.

However, after arriving at the Long Family and explaining his intentions to the family head, Long Zhenyun, he didn’t expect Long Zhenyun to sigh and shake his head as well.

”Old Sun, I’ve been aware of this Qin Tian for a while now. However, things are not as simple as you think. Merely from a business perspective, I reckon it would be difficult for you to defeat Qin Tian?” Long Zhenyun furrowed his brows in thought.

Sun Youcai asked in confusion, ”Why? Isn’t this Qin Tian just an outsider? Is he that powerful?”

”Humph, a layman’s perspective.”

Long Zhenyun looked up at Sun Youcai: ”The Ye Family has already moved out of Beijing, did you know that?”

”I did. I was curious a while back. I heard it was because some external enemy came knocking, defeated Ye Fan, the martial arts prodigy of the Ye Family, and forced the Ye Family to cede territory and pay compensation, making them have to leave Beijing.”

”Right, you’re quite well-informed. Then do you know who drove the Ye Family out of Beijing?”

Seeing Long Zhenyun’s gaze coming over, the two men locked eyes for two seconds. Sun Youcai seemed to realize something and exclaimed in shock, ”Second Master Long, you, you can’t mean... that it was this Qin Tian who drove out the Ye Family? How is that possible!?”

Upon hearing this, Long Zhenyun smiled but remained silent.

After a long while, seeing that Sun Youcai had somewhat recovered from his shock, Long Zhenyun finally said, ”Qin Tian, with a dozen of his men, attacked the Ye Family mansion at night. A dozen men repelled two to three hundred guards of the Ye Family.”

Sun Youcai: ”This...”

Long Zhenyun: ”Not only that, but when Qin Tian faced off against Ye Fan alone, he actually defeated Ye Fan and even made Ye Fan kneel and admit defeat.”

Sun Youcai (eyes instantly stuck wide open): ”Hiss... defeat, defeat Ye Fan!?”

Long Zhenyun: ”After that, having lost, as per the terms of the martial arts contest, the Ye Family had to hand over the Ye Manor to Qin Tian without any conditions, and compensate him with a billion yuan. Finally, the Ye Family had to move out of the Ye Manor within a week, leave Beijing, and are never to set foot in Beijing again!”

Thud!

Upon hearing Long Zhenyun’s words, Sun Youcai’s legs went weak, and he slumped into a chair, his face turning deathly pale.

”It’s over, it’s all over! So, this is Qin Tian’s background...”

Sun Youcai looked at Long Zhenyun: ”Lord Long Er, have we truly fallen this time? This Qin Tian, I’ve heard he has connections in the broadcast and television sector, plus his own capabilities and martial arts prowess... It looks like a new Qin Family is rising in Beijing, one that might even rival the four major families! Oh no, we’re finished!”

This time Sun Youcai understood the extent of Qin Tian’s power and immediately felt utterly hopeless.

Being able to secure five major stars overnight and bring them under his wing, Sun Youcai always felt that Qin Tian was no ordinary person.

Now that he knew the true reason the Ye Family was driven out of Beijing, he couldn’t think of any strategy to deal with Qin Tian and Tianyun Entertainment.

”No matter how powerful Qin Tian is, his influence isn’t fully established yet,”

said Long Zhenyun as he handed Sun Youcai a cigarette.

Sun Youcai, knowing what’s good for him, lit Long Zhenyun’s cigarette. While smoking, Long Zhenyun said, ”Qin Tian is an outsider, and his forces are limited. The formidable dragon can’t suppress the local snake. The Long Family has been operating in Beijing for decades; am I supposed to just shrink back now that he has arrived, to fear him? Humph!”

Long Zhenyun sneered and said, ”It’s easy to dodge the obvious threats, but the hidden weapons are hard to guard against. Qin Tian can handle a fight, but we don’t need to engage him head-on. In business, he has so many people backing him that it’ll be hard to establish victory in a direct clash. So... we must take covert action.”

”Covert action?”

”Right, as long as Qin Tian dies, what Qin Family... hmph, won’t they collapse overnight just like Liao Entertainment? Just break apart at the first blow.”

”Lord Long Er, are you saying... we have to kill Qin Tian?”

”Indeed, that’s the most effective plan available right now.”

”But, you said Qin Tian can even beat Ye Fan, where can we find an assassin more skilled than Ye Fan...”

”Hmph, I’ve already thought of that.”

Exhaling a ring of smoke, Long Zhenyun revealed a confident expression.

”It’s the same saying, it’s easy to dodge the obvious threats, but the hidden weapons are hard to guard against. Since we can’t beat Qin Tian head-on, we can hire those experts who use hidden weapons and poison. Such assassins kill invisibly; no matter how capable Qin Tian is, once he gets hit by a poison arrow, or poisoned, he’ll still end up with nothing but a certain death!”

Laughing coldly, Long Zhenyun said confidently as he stood up.

Sun Youcai also stood up and asked curiously, ”Lord Long Er, from what you’re saying, have you already thought of what kind of assassin to hire to deal with Qin Tian?”

”Of course, I’ve had people on it for a long time. We’ve even agreed on a price.”

Long Zhenyun’s gaze shifted towards the window.

”I’ve heard that Qin Tian has a weakness for beauty... heh, I’ve reached out to the infamous Yin Chun Sect from Southeast Asia. The assassins in their ranks are all beauties and are said to be exceptionally skilled with poisons. I am sure that Qin Tian will inevitably die under the skirts of these women, hehe...”
