Miss, the president has a mine at home, so it's hard to follow

The VIP box on the second floor is one-third the size of the auction venue on the first floor, but it is extremely private.The only entrance to the box is located in a special area of ​​the clubhouse's underground parking lot.Only guests with special invitations can park their vehicles here, and no other vehicles are allowed to approach.Not only is a small team of security personnel guarding the entrance of this area in shifts, guests must scan the invitation letter containing a special password before they can go directly to the VIP box through the elevator inside. There is a 360-degree non-dead angle monitoring installed outside the VIP box, which is monitored by dedicated security personnel, and there are also security personnel patrolling in real time in the corridor outside.The only window in the room is a curved and wide floor-to-ceiling window, facing the stage on the first floor. It is made of special tempered single-sided glass, which is not only bulletproof, but also prevents outsiders from prying or even noticing that there is a VIP box here.

The interior decoration of the box does not adopt an elegant and luxurious design, but inherits the consistent architectural style of Ling's architecture, which is grand and simple.There are all kinds of services in the box, from eating and drinking to entertainment, and then to leisure.Even if guests suddenly want to keep fit, there is a mini gem bar for them to use.

At this time today, the representatives of the top ten families all gathered in this magical room.After all, the top ten families are the real owners of the "Grateful World" charity auction. In order to avoid unnecessary intrusion by the media and certain people in this environment, such special arrangements are needed.However, with the passage of time, the top ten families have paid less and less attention to this charity auction, and every year they only send those who are not valued in the family to go through the motions.

As the host of this year, the Ling family naturally cannot be as slack as in the past, so Ling Tingzhen, the successor of the patriarch, attended the auction on behalf of the Ling family to show how much the Ling family attaches importance to this year's auction.

As in previous years, the representatives of the top ten families began to live in one place after some courteous greetings, either enjoying the high-quality service in the box or watching the star's entertainment performance, they only waited for the auction to end in a few hours Good way home.But Ling Tingzhen was different. After all, as the heir of the patriarch, he was not the same as these so-called family representatives. Furthermore, he came today with an important mission.

At this time, Ling Tingzhen was holding a glass of red wine, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the box, enjoying the performance on the stage while observing the reactions of the guests off the stage from time to time.With the in-depth development of Lingxiao Group in China, many of these people in the audience will become partners or competitors of their own group, especially those groups established by the five emerging families. If possible, Ling Tingzhen naturally hopes to have more partners. to the opponent.But how can there be eternal partners and opponents in the market?Ling Tingzhen only hoped that he could be able to handle it with ease, so that the Lingxiao Group could be deeply rooted in the land of the country and stand firm, which would fulfill the goal of his ancestors for many years.

The red wine in Ling Tingzhen's wine glass dwindled and was refilled, but he still stood in front of the window without moving, like a fisherman standing by the river waiting for a big fish to take the bait, quietly, but with sharp aggressiveness in his eyes .After planning for so long, Ling Tingzhen was not in a hurry.He becomes more patient every time a fish wants to be hooked, because only in this way will the bamboo basket catch water in vain.

"Brother Ting Zhen, long time no see." Suddenly a voice with a foreign accent rang in Ling Tingzhen's ears. He was overjoyed and thought, "The big fish finally took the bait."

Ling Tingzhen's expression remained the same as before, and he turned to look at the speaker.This person is James Roald, the heir candidate of the Roald family, one of the ten largest families in the world.

Like the Ling family, the Roald family was also a family that benefited from the previous two world wars and rose rapidly.Although one of the two families originated from country C and the other grew up in country A, the ancestors of the two families met in country A very early on.

All of this has to start with the history of the Ling family's fortune in A.At that time, country A was experiencing its pioneering era, and country C was still in the period of feudal empire.At that time, the Ling family had established a firm foothold in country C and had begun to see its scale.However, Ling's has always been full of adventurous and pioneering spirit, so they have not stopped their development, not only expanded their business to the north and south, but also established their own information network.

Once, a sea boat belonging to the Ling family returned from fishing at sea and rescued a dying blond foreign man.Fortunately, there was a doctor on board, and under his careful care, the man recovered.But because no one could understand what he said, the crew on the ship finally sent him to the head of the Ling family and asked the head of the family to deal with it.At that time, although there were not so many foreigners in country C, due to Ling's foresight, he would often invite these foreigners who came to country C to meet and communicate at home.The children of the family were even required to learn the language of their country from these foreigners, so they could understand what the man said.

Through this man's self-report, the Ling family learned that he was on his way back from country A to country B. The boat he was on was capsized due to a sudden storm, and he was lucky enough to hold a board, and he didn't know that he was drifting on the sea. It didn't take long before he was rescued by Ling's ship.It was also through this man that the Ling family first learned of the existence of country A, and that country B was continuously sending people to country A to open up wasteland.The Patriarch of the Ling family was also moved by this.Finally, after a year of careful preparation, the Ling family dispatched a group of people, led by the patriarch's younger brother, loaded with advanced tools and talents, and boarded a sea ship headed for country A with the guidance of the person from country B. .

After three months of ups and downs, Ling's ship finally docked at the port of country A.Due to the sparse population and low productivity of country A at this time, it happened to give the Ling family who came here with advanced technology and talents a chance to flex their muscles.

However, the Ling clan was not in a hurry to develop. Instead, they conducted a detailed survey of the surrounding areas where they were located, and only after clarifying their connections did they start.This is the business experience accumulated by the ancestors. Although it is in a different place now, it is still effective.Therefore, the Ling clan did not have any friction or unnecessary competition because they were not of the same kind as the people from country B who also came here to develop, or the locals were not of the same kind.Instead, with their friendly help, each shows its ability to develop.

Unlike country B or the animal husbandry that the locals are good at, Ling's is better at agriculture.Although the climate here is different from that of country C, the Ling family quickly grasped the changing laws of the climate, learned lessons from repeated failures, continued to improve, and finally formed a large-scale planting of grain and vegetables on the vast land of country A. There is also fruit and is very popular locally because of its high quality.However, the Ling family was not satisfied. Instead, they made persistent efforts, learned animal husbandry technology from the local people, and started their own animal husbandry industry.In this way, after a generation of hard work, the Ling family has become a powerful and wealthy family here.

With the development of productivity and technological innovation, more and more people from country B and locals have transformed from handicraft workshops to establish emerging industries.Naturally, the Ling clan couldn't fall behind, so they also made preparations.With the advantages of raw materials, they soon formed a one-stop business model of production, processing and sales.However, the transportation in the past was not only slow, but also small in capacity, so it was doomed to build factories in the raw material origin, and then transport them to various places for sale by horse-drawn carriage.For this reason, Ling's began to invest in new raw material production areas and supporting factories in various places, built post stations and turned it into a carriage team, and asked special personnel to design the most economical route to ensure that each carriage would not go empty. Thus, Ling's was established Ling's transportation network is also Ling's information channel, which perfectly extends Ling's information network to country A.

With the development of industry, the people of country B and the locals began to pay attention to the wasteland in the west of country A.Because there are many mountains there, it was ignored by everyone during the initial pioneering.Until some geologists discovered coal mines and oil, the energy sources most needed in the industrial age, this triggered a new wave of development in the west.

The Ling family is also the strong Roald family at this time.At that time, the Roald family was already well-known in the west and occupied one side of the mine.Although the Ling family tried their best to show kindness and friendliness to them after they arrived in the west, after all, resources were limited and they were first come, first served. The Roald family didn't want one more Ling family as the denominator for dividing up these resources.Now that the other side opened up their posture, Ling's was not afraid. The two sides fought openly and secretly, and their exploration teams arrived at a mountain col that was said to be rich in coal mines for exploration.

The area of ​​this mountain depression is limited, and the two teams went around for two or three days before finally meeting each other.The captain of the Roald family's exploration team is the youngest son of the head of the family. He has been arrogant since he was a child. He has always wanted to teach the Ling family a lesson, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance.At this time, he was the first one to rush out and call the battle. If Ling didn't dare to respond, he would get out of this area.

Although the leader of Ling's team is only a girl, he is also a figure of aunt and grandma in the family. How can he be frightened by this young boy who looks a few years older than himself.So immediately came out to respond.In this way, the two parties agreed that only one person could find the coal mine within 24 hours, and the winning party could mine the coal mine, while the losing party would withdraw unconditionally.

The result of this confrontation, of course, ended in the defeat of the Roald family, but this competition inadvertently deepened the understanding between the Ling family and the Roald family.Ling's team leader found that the youngest son of Patriarch Roald was not so arrogant in the competition, but was very cautious and wise. It was just that he lacked a little luck in the end that allowed him to seek the upper hand.And the youngest son of the Roald family also discovered that the leader of the Ling family was not only smart but also brave, and it was her who made a timely move to save himself who had almost fallen off the cliff.In this way, the two young people turned from rivals to friends, and even sparked a little spark of love.However, this spark did not usher in a romantic ending, because the Roald family forbids intermarriage of foreign races, so the two can only stop at friends.
