Lin Beichen's lips curled into a smile. Huo Sizun indeed had some interesting qualities. He acted decisively, certainly not the type to fuss over small gains. To acquire more resources, he was willing to make sacrifices.

"So, Mr. Lin Beichen, does this mean you agree?" Huo Sizun couldn't hide his excitement. He had always been worried that Lin Beichen would not take this matter seriously. After all, if Lin Beichen really ignored it, there was nothing he could do. This was inherently his fault to begin with, and such family conflicts really didn't merit the personal involvement of a prominent figure like Lin Beichen.

Huo Sizun looked at Lin Beichen with great expectation, only to see Lin Beichen chuckle lightly and slowly extend a finger.

"I require you to transfer the ownership of that mine to the name I provide within a day. I will send you specific information later."

Upon hearing this, Huo Sizun was greatly shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Beichen to act so swiftly and directly demand the transfer of the mine's ownership. He had thought that Lin Beichen would at least hesitate for a moment, but he quickly realized. That sort of indecisive demeanor only belongs to third- or fourth-rate characters. They have short-sightedness and limited capacity, hesitant in the face of available benefits. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

However, Lin Beichen was entirely different. His political wisdom and business acumen far exceeded ordinary people. He could instantly judge that this was something he could swallow without any trouble, and so he acted decisively.

Huo Sizun sighed inwardly, aware that he would never reach Lin Beichen's heights. Then, he put on a smile and said, "Since Mr. Lin Beichen says so, I will start handling it immediately."

"No need to wait until tomorrow." After saying this, Huo Sizun immediately called his subordinates, instructing them to handle the matter.

"That's good." Lin Beichen responded indifferently, taking a small sip of red wine. Involving himself in this multi-billion deal, if not for the interest sparked by the undeveloped mine, he wouldn't have participated at all.

The two suddenly seemed wordless. Lin Beichen glanced at Huo Sizun and slowly said, "If you have no more matters at the moment, I will take my leave first. There are many other affairs waiting for me."

Upon hearing this, Huo Sizun hurriedly asked, "What should I do in the future when I compete with my nephew? Do I need to ask for your assistance?"

He planned that during a board meeting, if a dispute arose, he would invite Lin Beichen to intervene.

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen laughed heartily, finding Huo Sizun's strategy quite foolish. "You want me to directly support you? In that case, wouldn't I become a target for everyone? All forces would vie for my favor, and I'd be swamped."

Huo Sizun fell silent, understanding the truth in Lin Beichen's words. Major players like them aren't swayed by a few casual words, like small fry are.

Huo Sizun could only ask awkwardly, "Then Mr. Lin Beichen, what do you suggest I do?"

Lin Beichen snorted coldly, "I'll tell you a method. Just follow it, and you'll have a seventy percent chance of winning. If it doesn't work then, and if I must step in, I will do so."

Huo Sizun nodded eagerly, "I'm all ears."

Lin Beichen said slowly, "First, you need to remain humble. Your big brother has three sons, right?"

Huo Sizun nodded in confirmation.

"Those three sons must feel disgruntled because your brother fell ill so suddenly. The specific property handover, plans, etc., are all inadequate. Besides, your brother is still relatively young, and his sons aren't capable of taking charge yet." Lin Beichen took a sip of red wine, speaking with amusement, "If a man lacks ability yet is favored by fortune with great wealth, what do you think his next step would be?"

Huo Sizun paused, lost in thought.

A moment later, a realization struck him, and he said to Lin Beichen, "If I'm not mistaken, those spoiled sons, upon receiving this money, would first squander it because they have no frugality in mind. Furthermore, because they each aim to inherit their father's entire fortune despite their shortcomings, there's bound to be infighting."

"Exactly, you see it clearly." Lin Beichen smiled, "They lack in skills compared to you, experience, credentials, and reputation within the board aren't as strong as yours. You just need to watch them as they fight; the shareholders will, out of self-interest, invite you to assume the role of the new chairman. In this way, you won't even need me to intervene, and you'll attain that position."

Upon hearing this, Huo Sizun was enlightened, secretly regretting his decision. Such a straightforward strategy, yet he had given away the mine, maybe too hastily?

"Enough, enough, Lin Beichen is a great man. Let this mine be a gift for him. With his capability, dealing with me would be easy." Huo Sizun pondered inwardly.

Lin Beichen saw through Huo Sizun's thoughts at once, and coldly smirked, "Are you thinking that gifting the mine seems unprofitable now? I merely made a suggestion."

Huo Sizun quickly shook his head, denying it.

Lin Beichen's smirk deepened, "I'll tell you, the most valuable thing in this world is advice, as it relates to thought. A mediocre person, despite having social experience, cannot truly benefit from it if he lacks the necessary thought. I hope you can grasp this principle."

"Moreover, this is just the most likely scenario. If other changes occur, I will also assist you." Lin Beichen continued.

Upon hearing this, Huo Sizun was completely convinced. He half-kneeled before Lin Beichen and said, "Mr. Lin Beichen, I may have offended you earlier, and now I realize my mistake. Your thought and ability are both beyond me."

Huo Sizun's tone was full of admiration and reverence.

"As long as you understand, there's no need for more words from me." Lin Beichen drained his glass of wine and then said to Huo Sizun, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Huo Sizun nodded, preparing to escort Lin Beichen out, but Lin Beichen politely declined his offer, stating he disliked such formal courtesies. Thus, Huo Sizun could only stand at the window, watching Lin Beichen's departing figure.

"What a genius, an unequivocal genius!" Huo Sizun inwardly marveled, a smile appearing on his face, "Although I have all this so-called experience, compared to someone so talented, the gap is still too wide."

He knew if he could attach someone like Lin Beichen firmly to his agenda, his business would surely flourish, at least doubling his growth. Thinking of this, Huo Sizun made a decision in his heart, resolving to exhibit greater sincerity in drawing Lin Beichen closer.

He dialed his daughter's number, hearing a lazy yet pleasant female voice on the other end, "Dad, what is it? I have a performance tomorrow."

"After your performance tomorrow, come here immediately." Huo Sizun's tone was stern and firm, "I have an urgent matter to discuss with you, we need to meet as soon as possible."

The daughter seemed surprised, asking in confusion, "Dad, are you kidding me? After tomorrow's performance, the agency has arranged a dozen roadshows, all to prepare for whether I can land a key role in the next TV series."

"Those so-called roadshows and TV dramas are insignificant compared to my current plan." Huo Sizun snorted coldly, a bit of madness in his tone, "Let me put it this way: I want you to meet a man, and if you can develop feelings for him, forget a few TV series, even being crowned a Hollywood queen, starring in ten movies, would be a piece of cake for him."

Upon hearing this, the daughter was speechless for a moment. Unlike her useless brother, she was the apple of Huo Sizun's eye, meticulously trained over the years. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also talented, excelling in singing and dancing, with an extraordinary gift for acting. She was already one of the rising actresses, but her career had encountered hurdles due to her father's limited resources and influence in the film industry.

Hearing her father speak so earnestly, she knew this was no joke.
