180: A grand gift to mark the start of your journey to Hong Kong.

A contract was placed in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang flipped open the contract cover.

"Sister Yan, what does this mean?"

"The Yuntian Grand Hotel, transferred to me free of charge?"

Bai Yuyan smiled and waved her hand.

"This wasn't my idea. If you have any questions, talk to Yulong."

Chen Yang looked at Bai Yulong.

"Yulong, this hotel isn't cheap, is it?"

"You're just giving it to me?"

Bai Yulong chuckled:

"Brother-in-law, I checked. The Yuntian Grand Hotel is valued at roughly 1.2 billion."

"However, compared to the help you've given us, this amount of money is nothing."

Chen Yang put down the contract.

"Yulong, I helped you because of your sister."

"I can't accept this gift."

Bai Yulong looked pleadingly at Bai Yuyan.

Bai Yuyan, however, spread her hands.

"Little brother, what did I tell you? Didn't I say he wouldn't accept it?"

Bai Yulong had no choice but to bite the bullet and handle it himself.

"Brother-in-law, don't be so quick to refuse."

"There are four main reasons we want to give you this gift."

"First, it's to thank you for helping my sister and me. Without you, forget inheriting the family business, we might not even be alive right now."

"Second, the Yuntian Grand Hotel has always been managed by Zhang Li, and all the senior executives are her people. I have a lot of trouble at the group right now and don't want to be distracted. You can fire all those people and replace them with your own staff, settling the matter once and for all."

"Third, you already own a five-star hotel that is managed excellently. Managing one is management, and managing two shouldn't be much extra effort."

"Fourth, you are my brother-in-law, so giving it to you means it's staying within the family."

Chen Yang listened.

Good heavens, giving away a five-star hotel, and he came up with so many reasons.

If he didn't accept it soon, Bai Yulong might come up with another eight or ten reasons.

Forget it.

He might as well accept it!

He was planning to expand his hotel business and establish a chain brand anyway.

It was just that the speed was a bit fast, exceeding his expectations.

Swish swish swish!

Chen Yang signed his name on the contract.

"In that case... I shall respectfully obey. Thank you, brother."

Chen Yang patted Bai Yulong on the shoulder.

Bai Yuyan and Bai Yulong both showed expressions of relief.

That afternoon.

Chen Yang immediately called a director-level meeting at the Moon Bay Grand Hotel.

At the meeting, the plan to take over the Yuntian Grand Hotel was announced.

Everyone was utterly shocked!

The Yuntian Grand Hotel.

It was Jiangcheng City's most famous and prestigious five-star hotel.

It was on par with the Changsheng Grand Hotel.

Its influence subtly surpassed that of the Moon Bay Grand Hotel.

Chen Yang had always talked about growing bigger and stronger, and building a national hotel chain brand.

Everyone found the idea exciting.

But.

They hadn't taken it seriously, or rather, they hadn't expected it to be achieved so quickly.

They hadn't expected that so little time would pass.

Before they acquired another five-star hotel.

The larger the hotel scale, the more opportunities for promotion everyone would naturally have.

Everyone's faces showed genuine joy.

They were full of hope for the future.

And full of drive for their work!

After the meeting adjourned.

Chen Yang took Zhuo Hongmei to personally tour the Yuntian Grand Hotel.

After all, it was about to become his hotel; he couldn't very well not know where it was located or what it looked like, could he?

Zhuo Hongmei was excited.

The Yuntian Grand Hotel was located in the bustling downtown commercial district, featuring a main building 36 stories high.

It also had three auxiliary buildings, each over ten stories tall.

It integrated dining, accommodation, leisure, entertainment, and vacation services.

The supporting facilities were comprehensive.

After seeing it, Chen Yang was very satisfied.

"Sister Hongmei, what do you think?"

Zhuo Hongmei nodded slightly.

"Aside from management, which is slightly inferior to ours, everything else—the location, decoration, and facilities—is superior to ours."

"No wonder its market value and influence are much better than those of our Moon Bay Grand Hotel."

Chen Yang felt pleased.

This time, the Bai siblings had truly given him a huge gift.

Zhuo Hongmei found Chen Yang increasingly unfathomable.

At such a young age, he could buy the Moon Bay Grand Hotel, valued at 1 billion.

And then quietly acquire the Yuntian Grand Hotel, valued at 1.2 billion.

It was simply unbelievable!

On the way back.

Chen Yang suddenly remembered something.

"Sister Hongmei, the Changsheng Group ran into trouble. Did you know?"

Zhuo Hongmei nodded.

"I heard about it, but I don't know the specifics."

Chen Yang explained:

"I have inside information on this matter."

"The Big Boss of the Changsheng Group has been arrested for suspected criminal activity."

"The Changsheng Group has been sealed off."

"Soon, the Changsheng Group's properties will all be auctioned off."

"I'm interested in the Changsheng Grand Hotel among them."

"Keep a close eye on it. Once the auction begins, go help me bid on it. Then we'll have our third five-star hotel."

Zhuo Hongmei was greatly startled!

"Is your information reliable?"

"Furthermore, the Changsheng Grand Hotel is a five-star hotel as famous as the Yuntian Grand Hotel."

"Even at auction, the starting price is estimated to be no less than 500 million, and the final price might even exceed 1 billion."

"Do you have that much money?"

Chen Yang smiled.

"Don't worry about that. As long as it doesn't exceed 2 billion, I'll be fine."

Zhuo Hongmei stared blankly at Chen Yang.

She was speechless for a long time.

Chen Yang waved his hand in front of her.

"What's wrong? Did I scare you?"

"You should quickly draw up a management plan detailing how the three hotels should be run."

"Do we need to immediately establish a hotel management group?"

"Do the three hotels need name changes?"

"Who should manage each one?"

"You need to think about all these issues and include them in the plan."

"Show it to me when I return from my business trip to Hong Kong."

Zhuo Hongmei silently nodded.

The shock today was truly immense.

She needed time to properly digest it.

The next day.

Chen Yang first checked today's intelligence report.

[Ding!]

[Today's intelligence has been refreshed!]

[Intelligence 1]: Sun Yun will board the Princess cruise ship this afternoon and hand over the USB drive tomorrow afternoon.

[Intelligence 2]: A famous Hong Kong actress will be encountered on the cruise ship.

[Intelligence 3]: The finance director of the Yuntian Grand Hotel is a relative of Zhang Li, and the accounts are problematic.

The first piece of intelligence.

As it involved the main mission, Chen Yang examined it carefully.

Sun Yun was the person taking over from Yu Na and Kaven to transmit the intelligence.

She was a senior spy from the USA.

Time-wise, he should still make it.

The second piece of intelligence.

It might be related to Liu Sisi's request.

Sun Moon Star Entertainment Company needed more influential superstars to join.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry had always been quite active.

If he could sign a few Best Actors, Best Actresses, or Queen-level figures, Liu Sisi would certainly be very happy.

The third piece of intelligence.

It involved a parasite within the Yuntian Grand Hotel.

Chen Yang naturally wouldn't tolerate this.

He immediately dialed Zhuo Hongmei's number.

"Check this: the finance director of the Yuntian Grand Hotel is a relative of Zhang Li."

"The accounts are dirty. Have someone investigate thoroughly."

"Whatever he embezzled, he must return all of it, or he'll spend the rest of his life in jail."

Zhuo Hongmei was secretly astonished.

Only one day had passed.

Yet Chen Yang had already uncovered an internal problem at the Yuntian Grand Hotel.

This level of ability and connections.

He truly deserved to be the Big Boss!

9:20 AM.

Chen Yang drove to Jiangcheng International Airport.

He left his wrangler in the parking lot.

He walked into the waiting hall.

"Hello!"

A young woman's greeting came from behind him.
