Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!-Chapter 651 - Luo Yong
Chapter 651: Chapter 651 Luo Yong
After getting to know each other, Xu Yang and his group entered the club.
After some more small talk, Qiu Xiaosheng cut to the chase, “Xu Yang, everyone says you have a strong investment ability and that every investment you make yields an amazing return. Our Qiu family has an investment project, and we would like you to evaluate its future prospects.”
As soon as Xu Yang heard this, it felt familiar to him.
Wasn’t this what Liu Qiangxi said to him after their meeting yesterday?
Once again, he was being asked to assess an investment project.
However, he did not refuse.
...
It could be another profitable project.
So, Xu Yang asked, “What kind of investment project is it?”
Qiu Xiaosheng described the project.
It turned out the Qiu Family had bought a mine in the Far East, where they discovered a considerable quantity of an unknown mineral.
After testing, this mineral was found to be a new type of energy.
Just a grain-sized piece could power a car for tens of thousands of kilometers.
But the mineral was located a kilometer deep and was extremely difficult to extract; it was estimated that bringing it all out would require an investment of more than a hundred billion.
Moreover, extracting energy from the mineral was very challenging.
A grain-sized amount was only obtained after the family hired scientists who used the most advanced technology and spent half a year on it.
The mining rights for that mountain would expire in two years and would no longer be offered to anyone for contracting.
Which meant that the mineral had to be extracted within those two years.
According to the scientists, if no more advanced extraction technology became available, mining it out wouldn’t be of much use.
To summarize, if this investment doesn’t pay off within the next five years, the huge amount of money poured into it could cause the Qiu family to collapse.
If they gave up and someone else took over, and a more advanced extraction technology emerged, then they would miss out on a huge opportunity.
Because this was a new energy source that could potentially change the energy landscape.
Having learned about the basic details of the project, Xu Yang lamented with a wry smile, “I’m really not in a good position to judge such things.”
The system hadn’t given him any notifications, and he truly couldn’t make a judgment; otherwise, his advice could lead a family to decline.
Qiu Xiaosheng said, “Xu Yang, I heard that when you were just starting, you made over a billion from acquiring mines in South America…”
Xu Yang knew what Qiu Xiaosheng was implying and shook his head, “Sorry, those are two different things, I really can’t provide you with advice.”
Qiu Xiaosheng was somewhat disappointed, “Alright then, I’ll discuss it further with the family. If we decide to invest in mining, as long as the funds are in place, it can be mined in just over six months, which still leaves us more than a year to consider our options.”
At this moment, several young men walked into the club.
The young man in the lead was dressed exquisitely, wearing a trench coat, sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, and holding a cigar in his hand.
This person gave off more of the aura of a big-time gangster rather than a scion or a rich second generation.
Seeing this person, Qiu Xiaosheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
How did this guy get here?
The others, seeing the slicked-back young man, also showed a change in their expression.

“Why has Luo Yong come??”
“Isn’t he abroad?”
“Just yesterday I saw him post on social media about hunting elephants in Africa.”
“It’s unusual for him to show up at this time; whenever he has come to the club before, it’s been when Qiu Xiaosheng wasn’t around.”
“Yeah, has the sun risen from the west today?”
…
Luo Yong glanced around, and his gaze fell on Qiu Xiaosheng’s group, walking straight over to them.
Qiu Xiaosheng asked, “What brings you here?”
Luo Yong laughed heartily, “Qiu Shao, I am a member of this club after all. Can’t I come here?”
Qiu Xiaosheng replied, “Of course you can come; I just didn’t expect to see you, that’s all.”
Luo Yong smiled, “You’ll see me often from now on. Actually, I came today because I heard that you made a new friend.”
His gaze landed on Xu Yang, looking down from above with an unfriendly tone, “Are you Xu Yang?”
Xu Yang was very put off by the other’s attitude and frowned slightly, “Who are you?”
Luo Yong didn’t answer, but a malicious smile crept across his face, “Kid, you think you’re pretty badass, huh?”
Xu Yang asked, “This is our first meeting, isn’t it?”
Luo Yong sneered, “It’s the first time.”
Xu Yang said, “Since it’s the first time, I’m a little confused about what you mean by this.”
It seemed like this Luo Yong harbored a great grudge against him.
But it was their first meeting.
Luo Yong sneered again, “Kid, do you know how much money your Hotpot Hunter has cost me? How much trouble it has caused me?”
The Luo Family owned many businesses, with Luo Yong managing their family’s restaurant company.
The Luo family’s restaurant company was a national chain of hotpot brands.
The emergence of Hotpot Hunter caused a steep decline in profits for the Luo family’s hotpot chain.
There were even rumors about having to close some stores.
He couldn’t find a solution to this problem, and some in the Luo family were questioning his capability.
This was very unfavorable for him, as he was aiming to compete for the position of successor in his family.
So, Luo Yong was extremely irritated with Xu Yang.
He wouldn’t have shown up at the club today normally.
After all, he didn’t get along with Qiu Xiaosheng.
But hearing that Xu Yang had come to the club, he made his way there.
To put it bluntly, he was just looking to pick a fight.
Xu Yang shook his head, “Sorry, I didn’t know.”
Qiu Xiaosheng spoke up, “Xu Yang, this guy…”
He explained Luo Yong’s situation briefly.
After hearing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh, “So that’s the situation, but this is a very normal business phenomenon.”
He looked at Luo Yong, “Did you come over just to tell me this?”
Luo Yong sneered, “If it were just to say that, I wouldn’t have bothered coming.”
Xu Yang asked, “So what do you want to do?”
A smile formed on the corner of Luo Yong’s mouth, “Compensate me for my losses and give me fifty percent of Hotpot Hunter’s shares, and I will no longer hold this against you.”
Xu Yang laughed again, “Did your head get stuck in the door when you left your house today?”
“What did you say?” Luo Yong’s smile faded and turned to a glower.
“I said your head got stuck in the door!” Xu Yang was unapologetic.
This was the first time he had encountered such a ridiculous person.
Company market share reduced, profits declined, and then demanding compensation from the competitor.
It was the most absurd reason for compensation he had ever heard.
Wang Xiaocong let out a scoff, “I think it’s not just the door; he also got kicked by a donkey.”
Qiu Xiaosheng also shook his head with a snort of laughter, “Luo Yong, I knew you were shameless, but I didn’t expect you to be this shameless.”
Wang Xiaocong added, “Not just shameless, but a moron too.”
Wang Xiaocong also really disliked Luo Yong’s character.
Whether in terms of his conduct or his dress, he seemed like a big shot in society, and Wang Xiaocong, as a rich second-generation, looked down on him.
Luo Yong glanced at Qiu Xiaosheng and Wang Xiaocong, ignoring them, and his gaze fell back onto Xu Yang, “So you’re saying you refuse to compensate.”
Xu Yang was out of patience to talk with such a person, “Compensate my ass, get lost.”
“Fine, just wait for it, don’t think that because you’re causing a stir in Harbor City you’re really badass. In the capital, I can still mess with you.”
Luo Yong left with a cold laugh, dropping a threatening remark before he took his people and left.
