The Yu and Li families formed a marriage alliance.

Li Yi couldn't help but smile to himself as he thought about it. If the nature of things changed, it would be for the better. When the time came, wouldn't the Li Family's status rise along with it?

Seeing the guy giggling for no reason, Wang Shaojun shot him a look of disdain. "What are you smirking about? Speak up, why are you looking for me?"

Hearing this, Li Yi quickly wiped the smile off his face and handed a folder to Wang Shaojun, smiling as he said, "Brother Jun, didn't you establish Tiangong Real Estate in Singapore? It just so happens that my father owns a plot of land in the South of the Ranges. We plan to spin off our real estate business, and since this land is in your hometown, it would be a pity to just sell it. So, I brought it over to give to you, Brother Jun."

"The land isn't huge, about ten square kilometers. Yongan Group has already handled all the subsequent matters; you just need to send someone to take over, Brother Jun."

Wang Shaojun was somewhat surprised. Regarding his hometown in the South of the Ranges, his deepest impression was of the wages—the average salary there was only about two or three thousand yuan.

It was precisely because of this that his father saw no hope and chose to seek his fortune in Southeast Asia.

Forget it. Regardless, Tiangong Real Estate was going to establish a business district domestically, just like those three islands in Singapore.

In his heart, there was no such thing as a good or bad location. Wherever Heavenly Palace Group had a presence, that was the financial district, the city center.

Rather than giving this benefit to others, it was better to give back to his hometown. Besides, the Wang family had lived in the South of the Ranges for generations; one must keep their roots.

He took the folder and glanced at the documents inside. It was indeed his hometown. How could he not know what Li Gang was thinking?

Yongan Group had never stepped foot outside Jiangcheng. How could they have bought land in the South of the Ranges? This must have been something they specifically bought to give to him.

After handing the folder to Butler Wei, he said, "I accept the Li Family's goodwill, but I'm not in the habit of taking things for nothing. I will set aside a residence for your Li Family in the South of the Ranges when the time comes."

"The Lin Group will go to Heavenly Palace Media. I'll give you another five percent of the shares in Heavenly Palace Media. Once Heavenly Palace Media opens up the international market, I'll have it listed abroad, and your shares won't be diluted."

Hearing this, Li Yi's brain momentarily froze. Five percent of Heavenly Palace Media's shares, and Brother Jun actually intended to take it public! Holy crap, the value of that fifteen percent of shares would likely be an astronomical figure.

This wasn't an exaggeration. Heavenly Palace Group definitely wouldn't go public, but its subsidiaries might not be the same. Just look at Yuanyang Group—the trend of its soaring market value was terrifying.

Furthermore, there was a huge difference between listing abroad and listing on the Mian-A market. With Heavenly Palace Group as a backer, it was hard to imagine what heights Heavenly Palace Media would reach after going public.

Not even mentioning the IPO, just swallowing the entire Lin Group would make them massive overnight.

As for the residence Wang Shaojun mentioned, Li Yi didn't take it to heart. It was just a residence; how much could it be worth?

However, what he didn't know was that the residence he thought so little of would command an astronomical price in the future, becoming something global tycoons would fight over.

But it was still too early to talk about that. After all, even with the speed of an infrastructure maniac, it would take at least two or three years to complete the construction.

"Brother Jun, these shares are too valuable. I can't take them. Besides, I already own ten percent. If I have any more, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Being able to follow you is already a divine grace. I'll accept the residence, but please take back the shares."

"Because of you, Yongan Group's market value has soared to over a hundred billion. So, I really can't accept these shares."

Wang Shaojun was a bit surprised by the refusal, but it was just five percent of the shares—hardly worth mentioning.

"Enough. I'm not in the habit of taking back my word. Just take them. Also, settle the matter with the Lin Group as soon as possible. That guy named Lin Hao—I don't want to see him again."

Li Yi's heart trembled at those words. He nodded quickly. "Yes, Brother Jun. Then I won't disturb you any longer."

He was just about to get up and leave when Wang Shaojun called out to him.

"Wait, I have something else to tell you. Before Heavenly Palace Media opens up the international market, clean up the domestic entertainment industry first."

"Remember, I only want talented performers. It doesn't matter if they don't have 'traffic' or if they aren't famous."

"Understood, Brother Jun. I'll get on it as soon as the Lin Group is dealt with."

"Mhm, go on."

With that, Li Yi left Xitan Palace in high spirits. This trip had been incredibly fruitful. Giving away that land was well worth it. Although the land itself wasn't worth much, the demolition compensation was the main thing.

The reason it went so smoothly was that Yongan Group had maxed out the compensation levels and didn't use any forceful tactics like forced demolition. That was the behavior of thugs, and Yongan Group wasn't that low.

They just gave more money. After all, Yongan Group didn't lack a few hundred million.

After Li Yi left, Wang Shaojun looked out at the lakeside scenery, his thoughts drifting.

He hadn't originally planned to return to the South of the Ranges for the New Year, but because of the land Li Yi sent, he decided to go back to his hometown this year to check it out and do some planning.

Since he was going to do it, he might as well go all out. If the authorities weren't building there, he would. Besides, his hometown happened to be by the sea, so the location was decent.

Of course, he wouldn't make a losing deal. This would require some careful maneuvering.

"Butler Wei, send someone back to my hometown to renovate the house. We're going back there for the New Year."

"Yes, Young Master!"

"By the way, the movie with the Ye Lingxue sisters should have started filming, right? Notify the flight crew; I'm flying to Hengdian tomorrow."

He'd take this opportunity to see if he could win over the two sisters. He was just one step away. He wanted to see what kind of good stuff the system would give him.

Meanwhile, back at Heavenly Palace Media, Li Yi immediately called Yu Weijie to his office.

Seeing Li Yi calling for him, Yu Weijie rushed over without a moment's delay.

"Brother Yi, weren't you going to see Brother Jun? Why are you back so soon?"

Hearing this, Li Yi looked up and shot him a disgruntled glance. "I went to report on work, not to play. I came back as soon as I was done. Never mind that."

"We're going to be busy soon. How are the preparations for the family matters going?"

At the mention of this, Yu Weijie's expression grew much more serious. "It should be about ready. The merger of Yongan Group and Yu Group should cause quite a stir in Jiangcheng."

Yes, the Yu Family had agreed to Li Yi's proposal. As for Yu Weijie, he had no objections. He wasn't the type of person who couldn't see the big picture.

Besides, he knew Li Yi's cousin, and she wasn't bad-looking at all, so he wasn't opposed to it.

Thus, the two families were now doubly related.
