Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Eric and the two women discussed as they looked through the information.

"The Shanghai Minghua Property Company is good. The company currently has net assets of 320 million yuan and manages 6 million square meters of property. Not only is it a first-class qualified enterprise for national property management, but it is also a standing director unit of the China Property Management Association. With it as our logistics manager, things will be much easier!" Tan Ailing's suggestion was quite good, and both Eric and Tang Feiyan agreed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The Shanghai Mingjian Road and Bridge Limited Company is also worth considering!" Eric said as he looked at the information in his hand.

"With a registered capital of 20 million yuan and fixed assets of 46 million yuan..." Tang Feiyan read out the basic information of the discounted company and asked somewhat puzzled, "Eric, this company mainly focuses on large-scale road and bridge construction projects. What do we need it for?"

"Besides roads and bridges, they should also be able to do other things, right?" Eric said, "I want to build a villa in the 'Di Sha Jue Yin Ao' in Longhua Town because the Yin Qi produced there is beneficial for both vampires and me..."

"I didn't expect the Mingcheng Hotel to be part of the Ming Dynasty family's assets!" Tang Feiyan exclaimed, saying, "I've been to this four-star international luxury hotel. Its most famous feature is not the luxury of the rooms and the attentive service, but its unique culinary culture. The Western-style Mingcheng Coffee Shop, the Ming Wine Lounge for guests to relax, the classically decorated Ming Palace Royal Garden Chinese Restaurant, and the authentic Japanese-style Ban Shan Japanese Restaurant..."

Seeing Tang Feiyan looking so eager, Eric and Tan Ailing smiled at each other and added the Mingcheng Hotel to the list!

"Eric, add this Mingjun Culture Chain Limited Company to the list too! Its chain bookstores should be able to provide you with the fastest and newest books..."

"Alright..."

"Kunming Lake Resort? Haha..." Tang Feiyan laughed heartily, "Eric, take a look at this, it's a three-star resort in Shanghai, with an investment of 100 million yuan. Covering an area of ​​89 acres and a business area of ​​3,000 square meters, it not only has various entertainment facilities but also is adjacent to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park to the north, the Yangshan International Container Terminal to the east, and the Fengxian Bay Tourism Zone to the south. It is an ideal place for leisure, sightseeing, and vacation."

"Then let's take it. We'll have a place for outings in the future..."

"Also, this Mingyi Coffee Shop..."

...

After some deliberation, a total of sixteen companies were finally listed on the bill.

"My goodness, how do we manage so many companies with such different natures?" Tang Feiyan said with a headache.

"Isn't it simple?" Eric smiled indifferently, "Just group them together and call it the Ling Yan Group!"

"Ling Yan Group..." Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan repeated the name, understanding Eric's sentiment.

Despite feeling warm and touched, Tan Ailing refused, "Eric, I think the group should be named Eric Enterprises..."

Undeniably, Tan Ailing was a strong, independent, and unique woman, but growing up in a traditional family, she was somewhat influenced by old values, one of which was "seeing one's husband as the sky."

"No need!" Eric firmly smiled, "I have no use for this group. It was always meant as a gift for you both to play with!"

"A gift for us to play with?" Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan echoed in surprise.

"Yes!" Eric explained with a smile, "I noticed you both have been a bit bored lately, so I found something for you to do!"

"Eric, do you mean to hand over the management of Ling Yan Group to me and Ailing?" Tang Feiyan asked, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Yes! Didn't you always say you had a dream of becoming a business queen? Now I'm giving you the opportunity to realize that dream..."

Tang Feiyan's excitement was tinged with apprehension. "But that was just a dream! I have no actual business experience..."

"Experience isn't an issue. You can learn gradually through practice..."

"Learn gradually?" Tang Feiyan looked helpless. "I'm afraid by the time I learn, Ling Yan Group would have gone bankrupt..."

"No worries!" Eric was unconcerned. "With Ailing's two commercial buildings generating rental income, we no longer need to worry about supporting the family! As long as you're happy, it doesn't matter if the group goes bankrupt..."

"Eric, what are you saying?" Tang Feiyan chided playfully, "Ling Yan Group is a gift from you. How could we be happy if it goes bankrupt?"

Seeing Eric roll his eyes, Tan Ailing spoke up in his defense, "Alright, Feiyan. If you want to keep the gift Eric gave us, then you need to seriously learn about business management! Didn't you always say your IQ is 147? I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly..."

"That's right!" Tang Feiyan's confidence surged. "How can I not have confidence in myself? I'm one of the acknowledged 'two peerless beauties'..."

"So many?" Zhou Dian exclaimed as he looked at the "bill" Eric handed over.

"How is this many?" Eric gave him a look as if he were making a fuss over nothing. "It's just sixteen companies. Compared to the vast industrial chain of the Ming Dynasty family, it's merely a drop in the ocean!"

"A drop in the ocean?" Zhou Dian shook his head and sighed, "If enterprises worth over seven billion yuan can be called a drop in the ocean, then the Ming Dynasty family truly is the wealthiest in the world..."

"Zhou Dian, stop feeling sorry for the Ming Dynasty family!" Eric said coldly, "The Ming Dynasty family should feel lucky to settle their mistake with just seven billion yuan. Compared to the disaster of clan extermination, this amount is insignificant..."

Seeing Eric's change in expression, Zhou Dian rolled his eyes and said, "Kid, I was just making a point. No need for such a big reaction... Fine, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty family, I agree to these compensations..."

"Good!" Eric's expression softened. "Today is Friday, so you have the weekend to prepare the transfer agreements. At two o'clock on Monday afternoon, we'll sign at Minghua Law Firm!"

"That's too fast!" Zhou Dian frowned slightly, "Many of these sixteen companies are joint-stock companies. Handling all the shareholdings will take a lot of time. Two days is impossible, two months maybe..."

"Don't worry, two days is definitely enough!" Eric said confidently. "We already investigated when choosing the companies. These sixteen are wholly owned by the Ming Dynasty family. Even if there are multiple shareholders, they're all internal members of the Ming Dynasty family, so there's no issue with shareholdings!"

"It seems you came well-prepared!" Zhou Dian didn't argue and nodded, "Fine, I'll have someone bring the transfer agreements to Minghua Law Firm at two o'clock on Monday!"

"Also, tell the Ming Dynasty family not to play any tricks. These sixteen companies must be handed over to me in their entirety, not just as empty shells..."

"Even if I don't say it, they wouldn't dare!"

Just as Eric had said, although seven billion RMB is a substantial amount, it is insignificant compared to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty family. The Ming Dynasty family signed Eric's "bill" without hesitation and without any underhanded tricks.

After obtaining absolute ownership of the sixteen enterprises, including the Minghua Law Firm, Eric and his group hurried to the industrial and commercial bureau. With the help of Tang Feiyan, the deputy mayor's daughter, and Eric's hypnotic magic, they quickly registered a large conglomerate encompassing the sixteen enterprises—the Ling Yan Group.

This diversified conglomerate, with a registered capital of two billion RMB, had only three shareholders: Eric, as the "head of the household," owned 50% of the shares, Ailing owned 30%, and the "second concubine" Tang Feiyan held 20% of the shares.

Of course, all of this was orchestrated by Tang Feiyan! Moreover, she insisted that Eric become the legal representative and chairman of the board of Ling Yan Group, while Tan Ailing was pushed into the position of "president." As for herself, she took on the role of "vice president" responsible for the actual work.

To formally launch the Ling Yan Group, Tang Feiyan decided to hold a press conference. However, because Eric and Tan Ailing preferred to keep things low-key, she didn't invite many people. She only persuaded Eric to invite members of the Ming Dynasty family, as they were the "original owners."

The press conference, held at the Mingcheng Grand Hotel, was quite lively. However, the journalists were not there to give face to the Ling Yan Group; they were invited through the various channels of the sixteen enterprises. Some reporters didn't even know why they were there until they arrived!

When Eric, Tan Ailing, Tang Feiyan, and little Feng Qian appeared in front of everyone in formal attire, the noisy venue suddenly quieted down. It wasn't until Eric and his group sat down that the reporters snapped back to reality, pressing their shutters and following with their cameras.

At that moment, the reporters hadn't guessed Eric and his group's identities, assuming they were newly appointed image ambassadors.

It wasn't until Tang Feiyan announced the theme of the press conference that they realized in astonishment, which was followed by a tumultuous uproar.
