CHAPTER 876 MY THINGS
"I'm afraid that there's more beyond what we can imagine, but because our information is incomplete, we can't find out more," said Butler Zhao. "But even so, I still managed to deduce some things."
Butler Zhao looked a little smug now.
This was what he was best at doing.
"Tell me," Jiang Ning went straight to the point. Ye Shan had a strange look on his face. He didn't know what Jiang Ning was reading or what Butler Zhao was talking about, but their expressions made it seem like something big was happening.
"They're looking for something!" said Butler Zhao.
"This is probably what the entire Hidden Sect is trying hard to find. Linglong Group is just an information network that works for the sect. By using the influence of so many industries that are practically monopolies, they can cover more ground and gather more information." 'This method is a really effective one, but it needs a lot of investment. Not just money, but they also need many highly skilled fighters!"
Butler Zhao's eyes were shining. "And what does that mean?"
"What does that mean?" Ye Shan couldn't help but ask.
"That means that whatever they're looking for is incredibly valuable!"
Just their monetary investment alone was crazy. Butler Zhao could see that the Long family had put in billions of dollars into building Linglong Group. This was only the money he could see from the financial reports, so what about the money that wasn't on the report?
The Long family had to exchange resources in order to create Linglong Group. Otherwise it was impossible for them to become the leader of more than a dozen industries.
They must have been willing to invest so much because whatever they were looking for was worth it. Unless the Long family was a bunch of idiots!
"So what are they looking for?" Ye Shan asked again.
"I don't know yet," Butler Zhao shook his head. "I don't know anything now, but if we follow this path, then we will be able to find out and we can dig out the rest of Hidden Sect!" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The one thing that Jiang Ning had always wanted to investigate was Hidden Sect.
The members of Hidden Sect could forgo everything and use any tactic in order to achieve their aim, and this had greatly affected the balance of the various industries.
They might not be many in numbers, but they were everywhere necessary. Linglong Group alone had quite a number of members already, so it was clear that whatever they were looking for was really valuable.
"Mr Jiang, whatever Hidden Sect is looking for is definitely something of tremendous value. Linglong Group is only a method that the Long family has used to gather information forthem."
A supremely powerful family had spent so much time and energy to create a company like Linglong Group, but just when they were about to reap the rewards of their efforts, Jiang Ning took it away from them.
It was little wonder that the Long family nearly died from their anger.
"I wonder what could make them pay such a high price," said Jiang Ning. "But from the looks of it, as long as we continue to dig along these clues, we should be able to dig everything else out."
"That's right!" said Butler Zhao excitedly. "Also, taking control of these businesses will be a great boost to our current information network. This was something that I wanted to do a long time ago! Mr Jiang, we've really hit jackpot this time!”
But there's one problem," Butler Zhao swallowed his saliva. "These businesses are very scattered and previously, they were controlled separately by the various powerful families of the north. Everything now belongs to you in name, but I'm afraid it might be difficult to actually control them.”
"In particular, the coal industry in the northwest, the tourism industry in South Island and the granaries in the northeast are all being controlled by others right now. Now that the powerful families in the north have been destroyed, the current leaders won't hand it over easily either."
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow. "Those are my things. You think they would dare to keep these things for themselves?"
