Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Benefits Come Knocking
“Let it out if you’ve got something to say,” Jiang Xu said irritably.
He had no patience left for this woman now.
Lifuzhen, unusually, wasn’t angry and said coldly, “What about a collaboration?
If you help me take care of those in the Li Family who oppose me, I can give you an island. An island you can fully govern and is recognized by LHG.”
“Hahaha,” Jiang Xu sneered, “You out of your mind? How am I supposed to help you?”
If the initial conditions couldn’t be met, then there was no point in considering the rest.
Lifuzhen’s tone was icy, and even through the phone, Jiang Xu could feel the murderous intent she was emitting.
“In a month, some of them will be traveling to Magic City for a trip. It’s an annual event they have. At that time, I will provide you with their criminal evidence.
You just need to take that evidence and report it.
With what they’ve done, they’ll be locked up for at least twenty years.”
Jiang Xu’s gaze flashed.
In that case, it might be worth giving it a try.
Then, Jiang Xu finally turned his attention back to the island Lifuzhen had mentioned earlier: “Where is this island you’re talking about, what’s it called, and how big is it?”
When Lifuzhen heard Jiang Xu asking, she knew he was interested in collaborating.
So she explained in detail.
After listening, Jiang Xu’s heart was ablaze with excitement.
The island was located to the north of Dragon Country, about eight hundred li away.
In terms of size, it was around five hundred square kilometers, which was quite large for an island.
The island had all the proper procedures in place and was recognized by countries around the world.
Also, there were some special privileges that only the island owner could enjoy (which involve some sensitive topics, so no further detail will be given here).
Currently, the island was in Lifuzhen’s name.
She had bought it just after becoming the San Sang Chairman.
And the price was ridiculously cheap.
Only five billion.
The reason it was so cheap was that although the island was large, it was extremely barren. Over eighty percent of it was nothing but exposed rocks.
And its geographical location wasn’t great, so the price was very low.
Of course, even so, not just anyone was eligible to buy it.
Only a small handful of people had the qualifications and the means to purchase it.
But this still made Jiang Xu ecstatic.
Because if he became the island owner, then even if he committed a crime, it would require confirmation from LHG and an official warrant before he could be arrested.
This was like adding an extra layer of protection to himself.
As for the barrenness of the island, that was irrelevant.
He could just spend some money to improve it.
Then, by constructing some houses and installing utilities like water and electricity, he could station people there.
Later on, it could serve as his headquarters.
With over five hundred square kilometers, he didn’t dare to claim much, but it would certainly be more than enough for a hundred thousand people to live.
Naturally, the best solution was to turn it into a resort destination.
Various thoughts flitted across his mind, and Jiang Xu said, “Alright, I agree to the deal, but you have to transfer the island to my name first.”
Lifuzhen disagreed, “What if you go back on your word?”
Jiang Xu replied, “Although we fight fiercely, neither of us can guarantee that I won’t need you in the future.
So, there’s no reason for me to trick you over such a small matter.”
Lifuzhen realized that Jiang Xu made sense, so after a bit of thought, she agreed.
“By the way, I miss you. When can we meet?” Lifuzhen changed the topic.
“Next time, definitely next time.”
After saying that, Jiang Xu hung up the phone, leaving Lifuzhen quite angry.
“Wake up.” Turning his head, he saw that An Nuonuo was already awake.
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to rub her soft hair which felt great, like touching silk.
“Mm, I heard everything just now,” An Nuonuo said softly, “Do you have enough money? If not, I still have over a hundred million in my personal card.”
“Where did you get the money?” Jiang Xu asked, very curious.
Since transferring her assets over, An Nuonuo only had a few hundred thousand on her.
“It’s Century Jewelry’s endorsement fee for this year, up by ten percent from last year.”
“Goodness, An Nuonuo!” Jiang Xu pretended to be angry and said, “You’ve got some nerve, hiding private money from me!”
With that, he started to tickle her.
“Ah, that’s so ticklish, I didn’t mean to keep it from you on purpose, I’m sorry… teehee… meanie… I’m going to tell auntie you’re bullying me…”
After a bout of play fighting, the two of them got up to wash up.
The bodyguard brought over some food.
“Whoosh!”
Jiang Xu pulled back the curtains to reveal the sea view outside.
The apartment they were living in now was at the tip of the peninsula.
A few sailboats were preparing to set out to sea.
There were also quite a few young people who had come out to play early in the morning.
Of course, there were some who had pitched tents to spend the night on the beach.
When he found the chance, he could go with An Nuonuo…
As he thought about these things, his phone vibrated.
It was a bank transaction alert.
Not from a domestic account, but from one of his overseas accounts.
This account was specifically for receiving remittances from Zhang Xiaofeng.
3.9 billion!
Zhang Xiaofeng was fulfilling the mandate of several business tycoons in Mei Country to counter Jiang Xu.
The ‘activity funds’ provided every month were around ten billion.
They were unaware that Zhang Xiaofeng had turned around and secretly collaborated with Jiang Xu, treating them as easy marks.
On the surface, it seemed like the two companies were fiercely at odds, suffering heavy losses, but in reality, those were fake figures, and no actual harm was done.
It was like the case of Lanzhou beef noodles, selling beef noodles for a year, only to find that the beef’s wounds had healed…
This was the second time Jiang Xu had received a remittance from Zhang Xiaofeng.
Once a month.
Last time it was twenty million less.
There was now over seven billion in this card.
He decided to leave it be for the time being.
When it was time to make investments later on, he could simply transfer the funds, no need to go through any extra procedures.
After eating, Jiang Xu called Lifuzhen, urging her to complete the trade as soon as possible.
Finally, the day before the semi-finals, all the procedures were cleared.
The island named ‘Spirit Turtle Island’ was formally assigned to Jiang Xu’s name.
Then he spent a billion to have people fill in the dips and hollows on the island.
With the title of Spirit Turtle Island’s island owner, Jiang Xu felt his footsteps grew more resolute.
He was a landowner in his own right.
If he could develop the island properly in the future, not only would he gain another place to stay, perhaps he could even…
The day of the semi-finals arrived quickly.
The nation was divided into four divisions.
To capture all the viewership, the schedules for the four divisions were set separately.
The first to the third day belonged to the Shen City Division.
Jiang Xu accompanied An Nuonuo to the competition venue.
Outside the venue, they saw Zhou Qingyue.
She was being interviewed.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo didn’t go over but instead headed straight backstage.
Zhou Qingyue needed exposure for her traffic, naturally not missing any opportunity.
The two of them caused quite a stir when they arrived backstage.
At that moment, a girl from the corner ran over quickly.
