Chapter 86: Talents in Prison

  Zhao Jin Hong and Zhao Jin Yan returned to Beijing the next day, while Chu Tian Xiong and Chu Zi Feng chatted for a whole night, but what they talked about was also Chu Zi Feng's life over the past eighteen years. As for other things about Chu Zi Feng, Chu Tian Xiong didn't ask much.

  As soon as the news of Chu Tian Xiong's arrival in Yanjing spread, countless merchants tried every means to see him. However, not even his shadow could be seen, and since Chu Tian Xiong rarely appeared in the media, even the photo taken by a reporter at Shanghai airport last time only showed his side face. So even if Chu Tian Xiong walked on the street, almost no one recognized him.

  It's a wonderful thing to reunite with parents, but Chu Zifeng still has his own affairs to attend to. The Wang Dynasty Group hasn't stabilized yet, and the East Gang is still dealing with the Scorpio Gang. With the four families of Huo Tong having just eliminated one family, these things are something that Chu Zifeng must complete at least half of before heading to the capital.

  Yanjing City South Prison, all those detained here are prisoners with fixed-term imprisonment, and death row inmates will not be held here.

  Huang Xiang drove her black Hummer, bringing Chu Zifeng to the city's southern prison. As soon as they entered the prison, two guards led them to the warden's office.

  "Director Zhong, have all the arrangements been made?"

  Two prison guards had just gone out, and Huang Shang asked the warden who was wearing a police uniform.

  Zhong Yulang saw Huang Chuang standing up from his seat, a smile still on his face. It was clear that Zhong Yulang recognized Huang Chuang, at least he knew Huang Chuang's identity.

  "Huang Shaoxiao, I've arranged everything you asked me to. However, can I take a look at the documents that were approved from above?"

  Huang Chuan said nothing more, handing a document that looked like an official letter to Zhong Yuanchang. After glancing at it for a few moments, Zhong handed the document back to Huang and said, "The two of you, please follow me."

  Ten minutes later, Zhong Yuanchang brought Chu Zifeng and Huang Chang to the door of a visiting room. He sent away the two prison guards who were on duty, then said: "Commander Huang, the five people inside were all selected according to your requirements. Take a look at which one is more suitable?"

  Huang Chang asked Chu Zifeng: "Zifeng's younger brother, what do you think?"

  Chu Zi Feng looked through the glass on the door at the five people inside, all of whom were men, ranging in age from thirty to fifty, and each wearing a prisoner's uniform.

  Among these five men, the youngest one is somewhat despicable and cannot be entrusted with important tasks at first glance. The oldest one is more rigid and cannot be used either. Among the remaining three, two of them appear to be quite sinister, just like a temple's gate gods, Chu Zifeng already has one Hong Yi, having two more would really be hard to place anywhere.

  The last man was about forty years old, the most spirited of the five men. Though a prisoner, his eyes had that unyielding look, as if he saw before him a dark road which, once traversed, would lead to light.

  "Who is the name of the person standing on the far left in the photo?"

  Zhong Yu Long directly handed over the information of the person pointed out by Chu Zi Feng to him. After Chu Zi Feng quickly scanned through the information, he found out that the man's name was Zhang You Liang, 42 years old this year. One year ago, due to being betrayed by his business partner, his own company went bankrupt, leaving him with a huge debt and being sued by the bank, resulting in a sentence of ten years' imprisonment.

  "That's all he said."

  Chu Zi Feng did not return the materials to Zhong Yu Chang, but instead handed them over to Huang Chang.

  Huang Xiang nodded and said to Zhong Yu Chang: "Take the other four people away, we need to talk to him first."

  The warden handled things efficiently and in less than a minute, he had the four other men taken away by prison guards.

  Chu Zi Feng pushed open the door and walked in with Huang Chang, while Zhang You Liang inside looked at them in confusion, not knowing why he was locked up by himself, and who these two people were that had just come in.

  "Are you Zhang Youliang?" Chu Zifeng asked.

  Zhang Youliang nodded, but instead asked: "Who are you?"

  "Who we are you don't need to know for now, I have a few questions to ask you. If your answers satisfy me, then you won't have to stay here for the remaining nine years."

  Zhang Youliang is no fool, he was sentenced to ten years and now it's only been a year, even if his performance has been excellent, it's not like he would be released so early!

  "Hey kid, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to take me to another prison or something?"

  "Don't misunderstand, we came to find you today just to let your talents be put to good use."

  Zhang Youliang was also calm, thinking that since he had already come this far, what else could make him panic.

  "What can I do? Apart from doing some small business, I'm useless at everything else!"

  "What I want is your business mind. Zhang Youliang, if I give you 100 million now, what method do you have to turn this 100 million into 500 million within a quarter?"

  If it's another question, Zhang Youliang might not be able to answer, but this question, he is full of confidence, and he also doesn't get stuck on the surface of the problem. He answers: "For elementary school students, the best way to turn one yuan into five yuan is to lend it to their playmates and then collect five times as much back. Children are naive and won't think too much about it, they just need to ask their parents for money, and I believe that every parent now wouldn't care about this five yuan; For middle school students, the best way to turn one hundred yuan into five hundred yuan is to play online games, buy equipment, upgrade and sell it to netizens; For college students, the best way to turn one thousand yuan into five thousand yuan is to first use this thousand yuan to package themselves, brag about themselves, do homework for others, and do tutoring. Of course, the premise is that you have the ability."

  After listening to Zhang Youliang's nonsense, Huang Shuang asked: "Your answer is as good as no answer at all!"?

  Zhang Youliang smiled and said, "To turn one billion into five billion in a quarter, just by sparking the interest of those primary school students, middle school students, and college students I mentioned earlier, it's not a problem to reach ten billion, let alone five billion."

  What Zhang Youliang said is right, it's really too difficult to make a lot of money from adults. Those people in society are like ghosts, there's nothing that can absolutely convince them, how could they possibly spend money! But students are different, although they don't have an economic source, their parents do. As long as you spark their interest, they don't need to be convinced, they're willing to consume. As for how they go about arguing with their parents, that's none of the businessman's business!

  Chu Zi Feng was very satisfied with Zhang You Liang's answer, he is also a sly person, but not as straightforwardly sly as Hong Yi, instead, he uses a layer of relationship to be sly, letting others fight, others' families make trouble, his purpose is only to make money, this is the true sly merchant!

  "Zhang Xueliang, if I get you out now and give you a new identity so that no one knows you've been in prison, will you be willing to help me with something?"

  Zhang Youliang was taken aback, thinking he had misheard. After all, the two people in front of him were too young, who had the right to let him leave here and even help him change his identity?!

  However, Zhang Youliang was also clever. Since these two people could talk to him alone without any prison guards around, and it was the warden's personal order, this was enough to make Zhang Youliang wonder if the background of this man and woman was so powerful that they could help him be reborn as a human being?

  To make sure, Zhang Youliang asked: "What did you just say?"

  "I'm saying, I can help you leave this place for good and give you a new identity. All you have to do is willingly help me with some things, and from that day on, you'll be making waves in China's business world."

  "What makes me believe you?"

  "Do you know about Four Seas Group?"

  Zhang Youliang is a native Beijinger and also does business, how could he possibly not know about the Four Seas Group.

  "Easy Home..."?

  "It used to be, but it's not anymore. The Four Seas Group has been acquired by me and is now called the Wang Dynasty Group."

  "What? You said Four Seas Group was acquired by you?"

  Zhang Youliang has been locked up here for a year, and he naturally wouldn't know about outside events. Even if there were newspapers, it would take several days for them to reach the prisoners' hands. The Four Seas Group incident had just happened two or three days ago, so Zhang Youliang didn't know about it.

  "That's right, the Four Seas Group has disappeared and is now called the Wang Dynasty Group after I took over. Everything inside remains unchanged. However, I don't want to expose my identity, so I need someone to help me manage it. If you're willing, call me 'Your Majesty' from now on and promise not to reveal my identity, and be forever loyal to me. Then, starting now, you'll not only no longer be a prisoner but will also officially become the CEO of my Wang Dynasty Group."

  Zhang Youliang couldn't believe his ears, the young man in front of him was probably under twenty years old, yet he could actually acquire the Four Seas Group and even get himself out of here to become the CEO of a large conglomerate, wasn't this like having a pie fall from the sky?!

  If a pie falls from the sky, it's either a trap or a pitfall. Given your abilities, is it necessary to frame yourself as the culprit? Even fools know that's impossible!

  Zhang Youliang stood up abruptly and said: "I am willing, Your Majesty."

  "Don't be in such a hurry to agree. You should know that if I have the ability to take you out of here and make your value increase a hundredfold, then I also have the ability to send you to a hell from which you will never recover, and that hell is absolutely a hundred times more terrifying than this place."

  Chu Zifeng required absolute loyalty and handed over a group to Zhang Youliang. If he had any ulterior motives, the consequences would be unthinkable. Of course, Chu Zifeng wouldn't be foolish enough to completely trust Zhang Youliang; he wasn't Lin Shaoyun, so it wasn't worth fully trusting him. Therefore, Chu Zifeng arranged for Hong Yi to enter the Wang Dynasty Group in advance, with the intention of having Hong Yi act as a spy, monitoring the three people left behind by the Four Seas Group and the newly appointed president. If they made any suspicious moves, he would know about it immediately. Hong Yi wouldn't dare hide anything from him; if he was disloyal, he wouldn't need Chu Zifeng to take action - Lin Shaoyun and the others would chop him into eighteen pieces at the first opportunity.

  "Please rest assured, since you saved my life, I will definitely be loyal to you and won't dare to have the slightest disloyalty."

  "Alright, from now on, Zhang Youliang is dead inside this prison. You will be called Zhang Jialiang, and I'll help you take care of all your documents later."

  "Thanks for your rebirth grace, I will definitely go through fire and water, without hesitation."

  Chu Zi Feng smiled and said: "This phrase is outdated, let's say something trendy from now on."
