86: The Four Great Families of the Dragon Kingdom
Yamaguchi Yuichi stared in disbelief as he watched the police leave.
Baka!
Is this Dragon Country?
It's so fucking corrupt!
He felt a sense of helplessness; he couldn't win in a fight, and calling the police was useless, so he could only swallow his anger.
Bastard!
Bakayaro!
Just you wait; he would definitely find a way to get his revenge!
Soon, it was time to board.
Lei Jun ignored Yamaguchi Yuichi and boarded the plane with Lei Ying and Lei Yue.
Unexpectedly, Yamamoto Yuichi was on the same flight as Lei Jun.
He stared at Lei Jun with sinister eyes, constantly plotting how to retaliate.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Capital Airport, Yamaguchi Yuichi saw Lei Jun, and both old and new grudges welled up in his heart.
He didn't dare get close, but from a distance, he shouted insults in a mix of Japanese and broken Chinese to vent his anger.
After finishing his rant, fearing that Lei Ying would strike again, he jumped into a car and sped away.
Lei Jun was extremely annoyed.
Damn it, is this psycho never going to stop?
But Yamamoto Yuichi had run off too quickly, and Lei Jun couldn't do anything about him for the moment.
She could only suppress her anger for now.
It felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
Just then, Lei Jun's phone rang; it was a call from the secretary of Xiaomi Corporation.
"President Lei, have you arrived at the Imperial Capital Airport? We are already waiting outside."
Lei Jun: "I'm here. I'm coming out now."
After hanging up, Lei Jun led Lei Ying and Lei Yue out of the airport and immediately saw the neatly arranged motorcade outside.
At the front were several black Rolls-Royce Phantoms, followed by over a dozen Bentleys, with Bodyguards in uniform standing nearby, creating a powerful presence.
Seeing the motorcade, the people around began to buzz with discussion.
"My god, what level of motorcade is this? It's too luxurious. There are several Rolls-Royce Phantoms; what kind of big shot needs this much fanfare?"
"I think I saw the Xiaomi Corporation logo on the cars. Is this their motorcade? Xiaomi Corporation is a trillion-dollar group; who are they here to pick up?"
"For Xiaomi Corporation to welcome them so grandly, the person they're picking up must be someone extraordinary!"
Then, a capable-looking woman stepped out of the lead Rolls-Royce; she was the secretary of Xiaomi Corporation.
She walked quickly to Lei Jun and bowed respectfully: "Director Lei, thank you for your hard work. We have everything prepared; please get in the car."
"No way? All this fanfare just to pick up this silver-haired girl? She looks so young!"
"Who is she? Some celebrity? I've never seen her before. Even celebrities don't get this kind of treatment, right?"
"A trillion-dollar group welcoming such a young girl with such ceremony?"
"Could she be the daughter of some top-tier wealthy family? Or maybe..."
Lei Jun turned a deaf ear to the discussions around her and, guided by the secretary, sat in the Rolls-Royce.
The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the Xiaomi Corporation headquarters.
Chairman Lei Jun led all the Board Members to stand solemnly at the entrance, everyone looking tense.
Lei Jun's palms were sweating, and his heart was in his throat.
Where on earth did this new shareholder come from?
What exactly is her purpose for inspecting the company?
He stole a glance at the Board Members beside him and saw their eyes flickering; clearly, they were all speculating about the intentions of this suddenly arrived giant.
When the Rolls-Royce came to a steady stop, the secretary jogged over to open the door.
The silver-haired girl stepped out calmly, and the secretary introduced her loudly: "This is the company's new major shareholder, Ms. Lei Jun."
Everyone gasped.
She's too young!
She's about the same age as their granddaughters!
She's too beautiful!
And her temperament is beyond words!
They had seen many celebrities, both domestic and foreign, but none had this kind of temperament.
It wasn't a deliberately crafted elegance, but a coldness and composure that came from her very core, as if she didn't care about anything.
And the accessories she was wearing!
The bracelet on her left wrist, glowing with a faint blue-green light, was paraíba tourmaline, worth over forty million; the necklace around her neck had a pendant like a drop of moonlight—that was the "moon goddesss teardrop," worth thirty million!
The two accessories together were worth nearly seventy million, yet she wore them so casually, as if they were just ordinary trinkets.
Lei Jun's mind raced.
Someone so powerful with a name so similar to his—could she really be here to replace him?
According to the investigation, her Bodyguards were from Bureau 749!
To have people from Bureau 749 as Bodyguards, she was either a scion of a top-tier family or someone from the state.
It seemed either a top-tier family had their eyes on Xiaomi, or Dragon Country was going to intervene.
Thinking of the Four Great Families of Dragon Country, Lei Jun felt a chill down his spine.
The Liu Family's political network had spanned a thousand years; the Li Family controlled the lifeblood of energy; the Zhao Family's financial empire was deeply rooted; and the Zhu Family's technological layout was ahead of its time!
These descendants of royalty, continuing from the Han and Tang dynasties, were worlds apart from nouveau riche like them.
Their meager assets were not even a firefly compared to the bright moon in front of these thousand-year-old families.
To become such a family?
Lei Jun smiled bitterly to himself.
Taking himself as an example, if he wanted to become a family like the Four Great Families...
Not only would he need his own achievements, but his sons and grandsons would also have to be exceptional for generations.
Not only would they have to stabilize his business, but they would also need several leaders of a resurgence to continue growing and expanding.
Only by prospering for over a dozen consecutive generations could they possibly become a family like the Four Great Families.
But achieving such conditions was simply too difficult.
Natural disasters, man-made calamities, wars, financial crises, a lack of talent in the family, etc., could all cause a family to decline rapidly... Like the financial crisis a dozen years ago, how many multi-billion dollar companies collapsed overnight?
Sometimes he couldn't sleep at night, wondering if Xiaomi could last ten years under his family's leadership if something suddenly happened to him.
The answer was uncertain.
But what about the Four Great Families?
Having survived so many changes of dynasties, wars, and famines while still standing firm—this was not something money alone could compare to.
So, wanting to become a family like the Four Great Families was something he could only dream of.
However, above the Liu, Li, Zhao, and Zhu families, there was an even more terrifying family.
That was the top family in Dragon Country, the Lei Family!
Although the Lei Family's existence was somewhat short, having been passed down since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
But the Lei Family's development was incredibly fast, with talented people emerging in every generation!
Thus, they surpassed the Four Great Families in a very short time.
Could Lei Jun be a member of the Lei Family?
After thinking about it, he quickly shook his head.
Impossible!
Right, right, impossible!
He quickly cast that terrifying thought out of his mind.
Then he and the other Board Members hurried forward to welcome Lei Jun, squeezing out their most enthusiastic smiles and greetings.
Lei Jun only gave a faint nod in response.
Seeing Lei Jun's attitude, the Board Members didn't react much.
Given Lei Jun's status, such a reaction was normal.
Then everyone began to shower Lei Jun with pleasantries, compliments, and formalities.
Listening to these people's endless formalities and flattery, Lei Jun was annoyed to death.
Is there no end to this?
A bunch of nonsense!
It was a waste of her time; she'd rather play another round of a game.
She directly interrupted the boring pleasantries: "I'm here to inspect the company. Lead the way."
