Chapter 1380 - 1378: Notice
After listening to the report, Yang Chen was silent for a moment and then instructed Purple Cultivator: "Continue training the newly recruited disciples of the Yun family in a Guard-style manner to ensure their loyalty!"
"Yes!" Purple Cultivator replied solemnly.
"In addition, arrange for the Yun family’s Grandmaster-level disciples to form a special operations squad! Start conducting special operations training! You coordinate with Jian Feng and let Jian Feng handle this!" Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes!"
After speaking, Yang Chen fell silent.
Everyone else looked at Yang Chen, waiting for his instructions.
Yang Chen tapped his fingers on the table, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, Yang Chen stood up, "Let’s go! Take me to meet the management of the Yun family."
"Alright!" Meng Po took the lead.
Lingyun Hall.
They had been waiting for a long time.
The Supreme Elder, Clan Leader, and Elders were all present.
They were the true power holders of the Yun family, the ones who issued decisions.
Seeing Yang Chen, everyone respectfully said in unison: "Venerable Master Yang!"
In their view, only Yang Chen could truly be called the Venerable Master, not the Ninth Elder.
Although Yang Chen did not particularly like this title, he did not object.
Since he was now seated in a top position, he needed to accept more responsibilities.
Yang Chen looked at everyone standing there and walked directly to the Clan Leader’s throne.
He sat down, feeling at ease, without any discomfort.
The Yun family members were no longer angry as before; instead, they felt Yang Chen’s sitting there was appropriate, with no dissatisfaction.
In the world of the strong, Yang Chen’s overwhelming strength left them no room for resistance.
"I came here today to tell you a few things." Yang Chen addressed the crowd.
He used the word ’tell’ instead of seeking their opinions.
Everyone listened attentively.
"First, I need the Yun family’s Grandmaster disciples to form a special operations squad, undergo special training, and even fight on the battlefield," Yang Chen said solemnly.
The Yun family members couldn’t help but raise their heads, looking at Yang Chen with surprise, exchanging glances and opinions.
In the past, Grandmaster-level experts were the pillars of their family, and now Yang Chen wanted to deploy them to the battlefield, which was a stark contrast that made them somewhat difficult to accept.
Yang Chen sensed their thoughts and calmly said: "To possess great strength, you must fight! Without actual combat, it’s just showmanship. Why should I go to great lengths to train some showpieces? What use is your high level if you don’t demonstrate sufficient value? This value isn’t determined just by the height of your cultivation level. In front of me, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it’s useless! Only by going to the battlefield to kill for me can you truly demonstrate your value!"
The Yun family members could not refute, as even the Supreme Elders who had reached Extraordinary cultivation, when both simultaneously attacked Yang Chen, were no match for him, let alone these Grandmasters.
"I will give them three days to settle their affairs; after that, they will undergo rigorous special training, with no contact with the outside world," Yang Chen said.
They had no room for rebuttal.
Yang Chen was akin to heaven; his orders superseded everything! He controlled the life and death of the Yun family without needing to negotiate; his words were like imperial edicts!
The Yun family could only accept.
"Second, all descendants of the Yun family are to fully practice the cultivation techniques I teach and carry out compulsory pride education; everyone must learn! As for your Yun family’s cultivation manuals, I allow you to teach them and will set up learning classes specifically for the children."
"Third!" Yang Chen glanced at them, "Your Yun family’s industry has been fully integrated, and all assets are secured. So, from now on, all Yun family assets are mine. However, the contents of the treasury will not be touched, but the company will be transferred to Longyu Group, becoming one of Longyu Group’s subsidiary companies. But you will still receive annual dividends with a substantial interest without needing to manage it, as someone else will take over completely!"
After hearing this, the Supreme Elders were silent, while several elders flushed with anger, glaring at Yang Chen with a look of dare-to-anger-but-not-dare-to-speak.
In their view, Yang Chen was simply devouring the Yun family without even leaving the bones behind. He seized all of their industries!
"Do you seem to have opinions?" Yang Chen said casually, "You can voice your opinions; otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here to notify you."
As soon as his words fell, an elder jumped up, pointing at Yang Chen and angrily reprimanding: "We are grateful for you teaching us cultivation techniques! We even handed over Penglai Island for you to develop and construct! Now you actually want to swallow all our industries! You’re cutting us off completely! It’s not just taking our blood, it’s directly eating our flesh! These industries are what our Yun family has accumulated over hundreds of years, why should you take them!"
"If that’s the case, I firmly disagree!"
"No matter how strong you become, our Yun family will not submit! If you want to take our Yun family’s industries, step over me first!"
...
Several elders were indignant, furiously protesting.
"Silence! Everyone, be silent!"
A reprimanding shout came.
The elders couldn’t help but be stunned, looking toward the person who reprimanded them.
They were very surprised; the person who reprimanded them was not Yang Chen’s subordinate, not Meng Po, not Purple Cultivator, but... their Clan Leader!
They felt incredulous, staring at the Clan Leader!
The Clan Leader angrily rebuked: "Are you all not listening to what the Venerable Master is saying?"
The people were puzzled because they felt they had heard clearly.
The Clan Leader looked at them and sighed: "Just now, Venerable Master Yang has made it very clear! The current assets in our treasury, they won’t touch at all! The only movement is to merge our Yun family’s industry into Longyu Group! The industry is still ours, the shares are also ours, the dividends are also ours! The only difference is that the operation is handed over to Longyu Group! We give them the company, we take the money, do you understand?"
The several elders thought about it, and seemed to realize this was indeed the case.
The Clan Leader said: "All along, our Yun family has emphasized cultivation; the external industries are managed by disciples with different surnames. Among our family’s direct lineage, who truly understands business? Furthermore, many companies have already begun to experience losses! Now, we have a way out only by joining Longyu Group! Moreover, joining such a large group company has countless benefits; the dividends we receive later will be more, what bad can it be?"
Yang Chen listened and smiled; after all, the Clan Leader was different in his approach to analyzing problems.
Listening to this, the elders showed some embarrassment and collectively apologized to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen waved his hand, "I understand your emotions; now that it’s explained clearly, I believe you all agree, right?"
"Agree!"
"We must agree!"
"We all heed the Venerable Master!"
"We will follow all arrangements by the Venerable Master!"
...
These elders’ attitudes changed dramatically.
