Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 111 - 107: Jin Hao Group Acquired

"Lu Lin, I have a question for you."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Lei sounded a bit tired.

"Do you want to own a company?"

"A company?"

Lu Lin was taken aback. He had less than a million, though he was waiting for 95 million to be deposited. But he had never thought of starting a company.

As a Star Core Warrior, making money should be quite simple.

Starting a company means managing personnel, managing finances, thinking about expanding business every day, worrying when business is good, worrying even more when it’s bad.

It’s a headache when subordinates don’t work, and it’s a headache when they just work without results.

In short, Lu Lin had thought for a long time that if he could awaken his talent, he would be a good Star Core Warrior, entering the Exotic Battlefield every day to hunt exotic beasts and alien races.

If he failed in awakening, he would just ask his parents for some money and open a supermarket.

But he would not start a company.

The federation has entered the Star Skill Era for over a thousand years, and there are plenty of masters in cultivation as well as tycoons in business.

Although Lu Lin is a traveler from another world, he does not think he has any business talent.

"Yes, a company in Green City."

"Never mind, I’ll be straight with you."

Zhao Lei initially tried to build suspense but decided it was too troublesome and spoke directly.

The Jin Hao Group founded by Wang Li in Green City wasn’t the first, but it was among the top three. Otherwise, Wang Li’s son wouldn’t be so arrogant.

But now, Wang Li has been confirmed to have a Black Shark Society identity, yet the Jin Hao Group is still operational.

Although the Jin Hao Group involves many gray areas in business, enough people in Green City still rely on it for their livelihood. To dissolve this company rashly would leave the Green City Governor’s Mansion facing a situation where at least ten thousand people would lose their jobs and be unable to support their families.

Initially, the Governor’s Mansion was still discussing how to handle the Jin Hao Group and how to allocate its businesses and... profits. But today, seeing Bai Jingwei go personally to congratulate Lu Lin on his promotion, speaking kindly to him, made them reconsider.

Moreover, those with keen intuition knew Lu Lin could enhance the levels of exotic beasts. He would surely become a big deal in the federation, prompting them to think of early investments.

But directly gifting a company would be too straightforward; a good excuse was necessary.

At this moment, Jiang Yamin hurriedly delivered an excuse to the Green City Governor’s Mansion.

"So, the Jin Hao Group is Green City’s compensation to you for making some illegal elements disrupt your promotion banquet and social order, feeling they wronged you as a genius."

"You see if you want to accept it."

Zhao Lei could not help but be a bit envious.

Back in those years, he never had treatments like Lu Lin. He had to rely on federation student loans for university, and only after graduating, when his talent emerged, did he take a full year to repay the loan and start to improve his life slowly.

Unlike Lu Lin, who just graduated and counter-killed the artist in battle, claiming the artist’s 95 million bounty.

And not even a few days later, Green City actively handed over the Jin Hao Group.

Comparing oneself to others is truly frustrating.

"Boss, do you think I should accept it?"

Lu Lin asked tentatively.

The Jin Hao Group, having operated in Green City for more than 20 years, engages in almost every industry—film and entertainment, healthcare, shopping malls and residential areas, culture and literature, food and clothing, travel, etc.

It’s surely tempting to say he isn’t interested.

But Lu Lin also knows that taking the Jin Hao Group under his current ability carries significant risks.

"Accept it; why not accept such a good thing."

"Actually, I’m just notifying you that the ownership procedures for the Jin Hao Group have been processed for you."

"You will hold 60% of the company shares, the Star Investigation Office holds 20%, and the Green City Governor’s Mansion holds 20%. This configuration ensures your safety, plus you’re one of us in the Star Investigation Office. Anyone who dares move against you is moving against us."

"Essentially, taking over this company poses no worries about the future. You just need to find a suitable general manager to handle the company’s daily operations."

"Oh."

Lu Lin didn’t know what to say.

It seems Zhao Lei was just notifying him that the Jin Hao Group now bore Lu’s name, with everything else already sorted.

But even with that, finding a company operations manager himself would be challenging for Lu Lin.

He just graduated high school, most of his classmates work in grassroots jobs, and his parents are lifelong farmers with connections limited to the Lishui Bay Community.

Well, since it’s now his company, there are more solutions than difficulties.

If Lu Lin isn’t capable of finding help himself, he can contact some headhunting companies for assistance locating suitable talents.

"Oh come on, can’t you have a bit of energy, kid? It’s late at night; you couldn’t have gone to bed so early."

Zhao Lei was displeased with Lu Lin’s calm attitude.

He had exerted considerable effort to ensure the Star Investigation Office secured a stake.

Though the Star Investigation Office didn’t put up any money.

Merely having the name of the Star Investigation Office, within the federation’s range, ensures that no one would dare provoke Lu Lin’s company or sabotage it.

Even in competition, it must be fair and aboveboard.

Anyone attempting a sneaky move will suffer the consequences; the Star Investigation Office’s shares are well-earned.

Moreover, even though the Jin Hao Group is sizeable in Green City, the Star Investigation Office barely considers it.

Lu Lin needn’t worry about the Star Investigation Office nibbling away at his company shares.

"No, not sleeping."

"I just reconstructed my Star Power Domain. Many people criticized the previous one for being too ugly."

Lu Lin explained.

"Oh, Star Power Domain?"

"Honestly, I haven’t entered your Star Power Domain yet. Show me some time; I’ll give you my opinion."

Zhao Lei’s demeanor was normal, and Lu Lin felt it was appropriate.

As a Level 9 Star Core Martial Artist in the Leakless Realm, he’s definitely qualified to offer Lu Lin guidance.

"Hehe, Boss, my Star Power Domain is absolutely awesome. You’ll be shocked!"

"Really? Listening to this, you’ve piqued my interest."

"Since we’ve got nothing to do tonight, how about we head out for some barbecue, and meanwhile, you show me your Star Power Domain?"

Having just eaten the dinner Meng Yu left for him, Lu Lin wasn’t hungry and said, "Boss, forget the barbecue. If you don’t mind, how about coming over to my place?"

"Alright," Zhao Lei readily agreed, "I was about to ask if you broke through; what’s with today’s Swamp Star Skill."

"Fine, just wait for me at home; I’ll be there in half an hour."

After speaking, Zhao Lei called Xiao Li and Xiao Yan to set off, and half an hour later, they arrived at Lishui Bay Community.

Zhao Lei wouldn’t really visit Lu Lin’s home in the middle of the night; it wouldn’t be proper.

If he were to pay a visit truly, it would be when Lu Ping and Meng Yu were home, not furtively scaling windows while they’re asleep.

After all, Zhao Lei is a Level 9 Star Core Warrior.

Lu Lin left home, thinking there weren’t any good places nearby, so they went to the basketball court behind the community.

On the way, Lu Lin also told Zhao Lei how he had a lucky chance reaching Level 1; now, he was at Level 1 Peak, comprehended four Earth-based Star Skills, and briefed him on his cultivation situation.

Zhao Lei marveled at Lu Lin’s happenstance ability to reach such a level.

Counting from June 1st, the Awakening to tonight, eighteen days had passed, and Lu Lin transitioned from an ordinary person to possessing four Star Skills, three Star Martial arts, reaching Level 1 Peak Warrior, and incidentally took the title of Saturn’s Best Star Guide.

Seriously, back then, why didn’t he have Lu Lin’s luck?

Zhao Lei couldn’t resist recalling back to his tough university days, striving every step of the way.

It’s not just Zhao Lei; even Xiao Li and Xiao Yan, who weren’t much older than Lu Lin, envied his tale.

Are today’s youngsters so intense after Awakening Talent?

Skipping university entirely, already learning three Star Martial arts, grasping four major Star Skills.

They felt like their own college days were wasted.

"Let’s set up here. Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, help keep an eye."

Zhao Lei instructed and sat cross-legged, eager to try entering Lu Lin’s miraculous Star Power Domain.
