33: Su Xiaohong, if I say you can do it, then you can do it.

Inside the lobby of Deloitte, the atmosphere was so awkward that it felt like water could drip from the air.

The business backbones and beautiful lawyers who had been surrounding Chu Tianbiao earlier now had faces that looked as if someone had splashed a bowl of overnight sauerkraut soup on them—turning both green and pale.

The Mainlander they had just been treating as a joke had, in the blink of any eye, become a top-tier VIP to whom even the President had to give a ninety-degree bow.

Meanwhile, on their side, the seemingly wealthy and powerful Young Master Chu was only there to set up a few shell companies with a registered capital of just a few tens of thousands of dollars.

This tiny bit of business wasn't even enough to get stuck between one's teeth; the commission wouldn't even amount to a few coins.

They really judged a book by its cover, only to end up smashing their heads against a steel plate!

It was too embarrassing... On the top floor, in the President's VIP room.

The decor here was even more luxurious than a presidential suite in a five-star hotel. Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows was the magnificent sea view of Victoria Harbour.

Lin Chuan sat boldly on an expensive leather sofa.

Long Wu stood behind him like a guardian deity.

His older brother, Lin Jiang, appeared somewhat restless; his hands, which dealt with blueprints year-round, didn't seem to know where to rest.

"Brother, don't be nervous. Just treat this like the heated brick bed at our own home."

Lin Chuan patted the sofa beside him, gesturing for Lin Jiang to sit down.

"Wherever we brothers are, it's our Lin family's home turf."

These words were very stirring.

Lin Jiang was also invigorated, but it was still the same old saying: only when you have money in your pocket can you stand tall.

He sat down stiffly and picked up the cup of Kung Fu tea in front of him, which looked extremely precious, taking a cautious sip.

The tea was mellow upon entry with a crisp, sweet aftertaste; it was the best tea he had ever tasted in his life.

"Good tea! Excellent tea!" he couldn't help but praise.

"I'm glad Mr. Lin likes it!"

Uchiha Ginji personally held the purple clay teapot and refilled Lin Jiang's water, his posture as respectful as a waiter's.

"This is spring tea from the mother trees of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, just harvested this year. Not much is produced annually."

Lin Chuan ignored these formalities; he didn't like beating around the bush.

"President Gin, let's talk business."

"My requirements are simple: establish a company whose main business is real estate development, but it also needs to be able to handle international trade and financial investment."

"Hai! Mr. Lin, you've certainly come to the right place!"

Hearing this, Gin's face immediately lit up with joy; he loved dealing with clients who had clear goals and no shortage of money.

He clapped his hands, and a secretary immediately walked in carrying a large stack of thick registers.

"Mr. Lin, to improve efficiency, we at Deloitte pre-register a large number of various types of companies year-round.

These are all shell companies with complete procedures, clean and without any debt issues. You only need to pick one, and we will immediately handle the name change and legal representative transfer for you."

"At the fastest, all documents can be delivered to your hands within an hour."

Lin Chuan nodded.

This was the efficiency of a top-tier firm, and also the power of money.

He took the register and flipped through it quickly, like browsing a phone book.

Lin Jiang also leaned over curiously to look.

The pages were densely packed with company names:

"Hong Kong Island Global Trade Development Co., Ltd.", "Asia Star Investment Group", "Far East International Holdings"... every name sounded incredibly impressive.

But names didn't mean much; he was mainly looking at the qualifications, since he would be changing the name anyway.

Lin Chuan's finger slid across the register and finally stopped on a name called "Cayman International Construction Holdings Group."

The Cayman Islands—this was a good place. Corporate profits could be maximized as reserves, and taxes were extremely low.

Furthermore, the legal and regulatory environments were top-notch.

The system was transparent, and commercial activities were protected by sound laws.

Additionally, companies in this location had no foreign exchange controls and were universally recognized by global exchanges.

On a global scale: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Disney, mercedes-benz, BMW, Audi, Walmart.

And for domestic ones like PetroChina, Sinopec, Mobile, Unicom, Telecom, Avic, or future ones like JD.com, Alibaba, Meituan, Baidu, Xiaomi, Tencent, and so on—they were all registered here.

Of course, another important point was that companies registered here were protected by international law.

The level of legal protection was equivalent to a company registered in London.

The Cayman business model relied on reputation; otherwise, why would the whole world come to register companies on a small island with nothing else?

The reason Lin Chuan considered this a 'savage era' was simple: the laws were not yet sound, and some powerful people reached their hands out too far without anyone to supervise them.

Lin Chuan had suffered many losses in his past life, so in this life, he naturally had to take precautions.

A company registered here...

...at least wouldn't be bought for a single dollar by some powerful young masters or ladies just by saying a word to their grandfathers.

"This is the one."

"Are the qualifications of this group enough for me to acquire land in the Mainland, or even conduct some multinational business overseas?"

"More than enough! Mr. Lin, you have excellent vision!"

When Gin saw the one Lin Chuan had selected, his eyes lit up.

"This shell was just registered by us six months ago; it has the highest level of offshore holding group qualifications!

Forget acquiring land in the Mainland—even if you wanted to buy an island in the United States or establish branches globally, the procedures would be smooth sailing!"

"Very good."

Lin Chuan closed the register.

"I'll take this company.

Change the name to Longteng Real Estate Group.

How much will it cost?"

"This... for a company transfer of this type, according to market price, it would be about five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars," Gin quoted cautiously.

At that time, this was definitely a massive sum of money.

Lin Chuan, however, didn't even blink, as if he were just buying a head of cabbage.

"No problem."

Five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars was pocket change.

Then, he dropped an even bigger bombshell.

"Additionally, I now need to purchase a building with independent title to serve as our Longteng Real Estate Hong Kong branch."

"The location must be good, the view must be wide, preferably in Central or Tsim Sha Tsui."

Pfft—

The tea Gin had just taken into his mouth almost sprayed out on the spot.

His brain went blank, shocked by Lin Chuan's words.

Pur... purchase a building?!

My goodness!

This wasn't just some big client; this was practically the God of Wealth descended to earth, a mobile mountain of gold!

In '92, a building in Hong Kong's Central would cost at least over a hundred million, or even several hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

"Mr... Mr. Lin... you mean... buy an entire building?" Gin felt his voice floating.

"Otherwise? Should I just buy one floor?

Where would my employees stay?

And what about the prestige of our Longteng?"

Lin Chuan asked back, his tone so matter-of-fact it was as if he were asking what to eat for lunch.

He had already made up his mind to get one building first and then acquire more successively later.

When the time came, renting them out every month would allow him to recoup his investment quickly and make a lot of money.

Gin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the wild joy in his heart.

He knew that if this deal went through, his performance bonus for this year would be enough to buy a villa on the Peak!

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

"Deloitte also has real estate appraisal and brokerage services under its umbrella. I guarantee I will find you the best property in all of Hong Kong!"

"Fine."

Lin Chuan nodded, then turned his gaze toward Miss Su, who had been so nervous since entering the room that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

"President Gin, regarding the two business items I just proposed."

Lin Chuan pointed his finger at Miss Su.

"I am designating this Miss Su to be in full charge of the follow-up."

"Ah?!"

Everyone present, including Gin, was stunned.

Letting a newcomer who hadn't been on the job long and couldn't even speak properly be responsible for such a staggering deal worth hundreds of millions or even billions?

Was this a joke?

Miss Su was even more dazed by this sudden stroke of luck; her small face turned pale, and she waved her hands frantically.

"No, no! Mr. Lin! I... I can't do it!"

"I don't know that much. I can't handle such a big business; I'll mess it up for you!"

She was so nervous she was about to cry.

Lin Chuan, however, just looked at her gently.

"If I say you can do it, you can."

"Don't be afraid. I'm behind you to support you. If anyone dares not to cooperate, tell me directly."

Then, he turned to look at Gin, his gentle gaze instantly becoming sharp.

"President Gin, do you understand my meaning?"

"Understood! Perfectly understood!"

Gin didn't dare say no; he immediately nodded like a woodpecker.

The customer was God, let alone a VIP among Gods.

If the other party was unhappy and went to another firm, and the headquarters found out, he would surely be severely punished.

He immediately put on a kind and amiable smile for Miss Su.

"Little Su, what are you still standing there for? Quickly thank Mr. Lin for the promotion!"

"From now on, you are the general manager in charge of this project!

All resources throughout the company will be prioritized for your allocation!"

Miss Su looked at Lin Chuan's encouraging gaze and then at the President's unquestionable expression, feeling as if she were in a dream.

She pinched her thigh hard.

Ouch!

Not a dream!

She took a deep breath, walked up to Lin Chuan, gave a deep bow, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"I will definitely not let down your trust!"

At this moment, the seed of a future financial queen quietly broke through the soil and sprouted in this luxurious office.
