Chapter 1480 - 1479
Li Zixia returned to Huaxia, and her first stop was Yun City Prison to meet Ye Tianyu.
Firstly, she knew Ye Tianyu was worried about her, as it was Ye Tianyu who asked Lin Fan to go to the United Kingdom to find her, so she felt she owed Ye Tianyu an explanation. Secondly, she wanted to get some information from Ye Tianyu.
After visiting Ye Tianyu, Li Zixia took her luggage and took a taxi to the Mortal Group Headquarters.
Lin Fan asked her to bring back the Snake Head bronze statue from the Twelve Beast Heads, which she needed to hand over to the Mortal Company for safekeeping.
Over these days, she had heard Lin Fan talk about his company, called Mortal. However, she had never looked into Mortal closely, only judging that it should be a technology company with some strength and possibly worth billions.
After all, Lin Fan was just a young man in his early twenties, and having a company worth billions was already quite impressive. In Li Zixia’s impression, having a few hundreds of millions at that age would be considered quite good, and Lin Fan was particularly outstanding, likely worth tens of billions.
"To the Mortal Group, please." Li Zixia said to the driver upon getting into the taxi.
The taxi driver replied, "Miss, you should be going to the Old Tian Grand Aviation Headquarters, not the Mortal Headquarters, which is still under construction?"
Li Zixia was taken aback, Mortal Headquarters under construction?
Since it was under construction, it certainly wasn’t her destination.
"Hmm..."
Li Zixia replied casually to the driver.
Wait!
The driver just mentioned something about the Old Tian Grand Aviation Headquarters, what does that mean?
Could Lin Fan’s company be related to aviation?
"Driver, are you mistaken? I’m going to Mortal Company, and the boss’s name is Lin Fan?" Li Zixia asked.
The taxi driver said, "Yes, it’s Mr. Lin’s company. Miss, aren’t you going to Mortal? How come you seem to know nothing about it?"
Li Zixia blushed, "I don’t really know about it, could you briefly introduce it to me, driver?"
The taxi driver referred to Lin Fan as Mr. Lin right off the bat, seeming to know a lot about Lin Fan’s company, which piqued Li Zixia’s curiosity.
"In Yun City, who doesn’t know about Mr. Lin and the Mortal Group?" the taxi driver said. "Mr. Lin is like a legend! Miss, you must not be from Yun City, right?"
Li Zixia said, "Indeed, I’m not from Yun City. Is Mr. Lin really that famous?"
Li Zixia was somewhat surprised.
The taxi driver said, "Of course, Mr. Lin is the richest man in Yun City, his Mortal Group has a market value exceeding 300 billion, isn’t that famous enough?"
What? Li Zixia was dumbfounded.
The richest man in Yun City!
billion!
Such words were truly overwhelming.
Mr. Lin, so young, only a year older than her, is already the celebrated richest man in Yun City!
She thought Lin Fan was just a relatively wealthy young man; she never imagined he was the richest person in Yun City, worth hundreds of billions!
Moreover, she had been with Lin Fan for several days, and he never once boasted about being the richest person in Yun City or how impressive his company was.
Even though Lin Fan planned to acquire Golden Jade Group, he never flaunted his prowess to attract Li Zixia.
Li Zixia later agreed to Lin Fan’s acquisition purely because she was captivated by Lin Fan himself, not by his company.
If Li Zixia had known earlier how vast Lin Fan’s company was, would she have agreed to his acquisition much sooner?
Thinking about it, Li Zixia couldn’t help but smile, Lin Fan doesn’t play by the norms like others, doesn’t that precisely show Lin Fan’s uniqueness, conquering her purely with personal charm? How could she not be moved by such a man!
The taxi driver started talking about Lin Fan, getting more and more spirited, listing off all the incredible things Lin Fan had accomplished.
"On the Half Mountain in Yun City, Mr. Lin owns a 3 billion mansion called Yunding Manor!"
"Mr. Lin owns a hundred-billion-dollar island!"
"After gaining control of Celestial Aviation, he immediately imported twenty Boeing planes."
"Mr. Lin continuously announced investments in chip factories and new energy vehicle factories, and the company’s market value skyrocketed like a rocket."
"The chips developed by Mr. Lin’s company are leading the world, changing history!"
"Some say Mr. Lin will sooner or later become the richest man in Jiangnan, or even Huaxia, and I believe so too!"
"Mr. Lin recently acquired a prime plot of land with plans to build the Mortal Headquarters Mansion, which will be one of the tallest buildings in the world."
"Who knows what other surprises Mr. Lin will bring us next, anyways, Mr. Lin is like a god in our eyes!"
"His background is indeed quite mysterious!"
The taxi driver narrated without exaggerating, stating just the basic facts.
Yet these facts alone were already shocking, requiring no exaggeration to embellish them.
Li Zixia found it difficult to absorb so much news at once. Any one of Lin Fan’s achievements, for a young person, would classify them as a genius and provide lifelong benefits.
But Lin Fan accomplished so many astonishing feats, all at once, that it was hard to count.
So incredibly strong!
He was miles ahead of his peers!
How was Lin Fan able to achieve such strength?
Li Zixia was utterly shocked.
In the United Kingdom, Lin Fan single-handedly took down the Earth Wolf Gang’s base to rescue her, then took her to Eastern Europe, and within half a day, he persuaded the local mayor to deploy the army and directly took out the Earth Wolf Gang’s stronghold.
Li Zixia only thought Lin Fan’s fighting skills and medical expertise were unmatched; she never imagined Lin Fan’s true strength lay in his business acumen.
Li Zixia quickly learned that when Lin Fan first acquired Celestial Aviation, its market value was 50 billion.
After Lin Fan took control of Celestial Aviation, he completed a series of reforms, and in less than six months, the market value of Mortal Group surpassed 300 billion.
The business of Mortal Group wasn’t limited to aerospace technology; it started expanding in many directions. The most talked-about were the two new directions Lin Fan invested in: chips and new energy. These two projects propelled Mortal Group’s market value to soar.
Now, Lin Fan aimed to acquire Jinyu Group, a computer technology company. It’s important to note that Jinyu Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, yet Lin Fan intended to acquire it, surely for a reason, what new project is Lin Fan planning?
Li Zixia couldn’t help but feel immensely excited.
From this moment on, Li Zixia was utterly determined, Golden Jade Group must be sold to Mortal; following Lin Fan is the best path for Jinyu Group, and only this way can Jinyu Group have the best prospects.
For a moment, Li Zixia was lost in dreams of the future, her thoughts somewhat obsessed, and her heart difficult to calm.
"We’re here!"
The taxi driver suddenly said, stopping the car at the entrance of the Celestial Aviation Headquarters.
"Thank you!" Li Zixia paid the fare and opened the door to get out.
At the company’s entrance, Li Zixia told the guard, "Hello, Mr. Lin called me here, I’m looking for Wei Yue’er."
