Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 1771 - 1665: Discussion
"Baron. Rothschild!?" Song Yun looked at Xu in surprise. He knew the name!
This name, within the Rothschild family, signifies supreme power. He is the synonym for the Rothschild family, having had reign over the entire family for over thirty years!
That’s right, this person is the Clan Leader of the Rothschild family, arguably the most powerful person in the world.
"Yes, that’s the person, the clan leader of the Rothschild family. Only he can make the Beville Islands invisible on the world map. That archipelago is priced at a billion, untouched for twenty years, and the Baron seems uninterested in selling it, just leaving it there," Xu said.
"Alright."
Song Yun said helplessly, "Then tell me about other places."
"Okay!"
For a long period, Xu spoke to Song Yun about several places where islands could be bought. When Song Yun left the Blue Moon Bar, Xu handed over a more detailed set of information.
"This includes data on the Beville Islands, all secretive, given to me by a friend. Today, I gift Brother Song Yun a copy, consider it a friendship token!" Xu said with a smile.
"You’re a straightforward person." Song Yun, seeing how Xu was so on point, said with a smile, "Join Xiao Qiang, come to the Song Family for a visit sometime."
"Absolutely, I’ll definitely visit when there’s a chance!"
Xu said with a smile.
Song Yun nodded and left with his crew and Chen Mengjie, while Xiao Hui went with a woman he had been chatting with to watch a midnight movie. Big Head accompanied two women who seemed seasoned bar-goers to hit the clubs.
"Xu, well done." Watching Song Yun and others leave, Xiao Qiang smiled while offering a cigarette to Xu.
"Sigh, I was scared to death when I got your call. Never thought De Nan would have the nerve to offend Song Yun. Luckily, your call arrived; otherwise, if I had gotten on Song Yun’s bad side and he made my life difficult, I’d be really unlucky," Xu said.
"Song Yun is loyal, generous to friends, broad-minded. But if someone bullies his friends, he turns petty. Even if things seem settled, he might secretly cause trouble. Such a person makes a good friend, not an enemy. Since we’re close, I couldn’t watch you offend Song Yun and then suffer his wrath, so I asked you to come," Xiao Qiang said with a smile.
"Do you think Song Yun let me off completely?" Xu asked.
"It was uncertain before, but when you gave him the information, I could tell Song Yun had decided not to hold a grudge anymore. You did well!" As Xiao Qiang spoke, he pondered why Song Yun asked Xu for these materials—could Song Yun want to buy an island?
But what’s the purpose? Business? Seems unlikely!
Xiao Qiang’s mind was puzzled.
After the younger generation threw a party in a place they often went, Song Yun took Chen Mengjie back to the Song Family.
Once there, Song Yun gathered all his women together.
"Now, let’s discuss something."
Song Yun took out the materials Xu gave him.
This was a self-bound book by Xu, with no publishing label or cover, just a bunch of images and textual information.
"Brother Song Yun, what’s this?"
Xiao Qing curiously picked up the book and asked.
"This is a registry of islands for sale," Song Yun explained. "Have a look, see if any appeal to you." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Even if we find one we like, what can we do?" Mo Yuyao on the side said, "Are we going to build a rescue base to foster homeless children?"
"Why would I specifically look for an island for that? Buying a few houses would suffice," Song Yun said with a laugh. "I’m considering buying an island, developing it, so we can vacation or even live there when we have spare time. I always feel it could be better than our place at Song Family."
"I agree!"
Chen Mengjie said, "Too many people at home, it’s not fun."
"But Brother Song Yun, don’t uncle and auntie already have an island?" Liu Ran asked, "Why don’t we go play there?"
"That island’s usage period doesn’t have many years left," Song Yun explained, "I asked my parents back then, only three or four years remain. They bought it for very little, just twenty-odd years."
"Then we’ll continue buying!" Li Shishi said, "If mom and dad chose that island back then, they must have liked the place. Sister Xia Tian, weren’t uncle and auntie’s island heard that you visited, how was it?"
"It’s not large, but the environment and weather are good!" Xia Tian said, "Plus, it’s suitable for long stays. But that island must have been resold."
"What? Such a shame!"
Li Shishi sighed, "I was hoping to stay on that island for a while."
"There’s still time, isn’t it a few years? Plus, buying an island doesn’t mean immediate living, there’s construction to be done," Song Yun said, "You all take a look at these materials, then let’s discuss which island to buy later, we aren’t short of funds now, things worth millions, tens of millions, aren’t a pressure."
"Great, everyone come have a look." Li Yueyue took the book and headed to Li Shishi’s bedside with the others, while Li Shishi was feeding Little Gangbeng with a bunch of daughters starting to chatter over the paperwork.
Meanwhile, Xia Tian walked over to Song Yun, saying, "Are you thinking of following your parents’ footsteps back then?"
"Not necessarily, at least I won’t be running away." Song Yun said with a smile, "Think of it like buying a house in the countryside, tired of city life, I could occasionally stay there, wouldn’t that be nice?"
"That’s true." Xia Tian nodded, "But, Song Yun, at least wait until the things here are settled, right?"
"Of course," Song Yun said with narrowed eyes, "There are still a few people alive, I’m not in a rush to leave."
