After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

The northern suburbs of the imperial capital, Tong Family Estate.

Tong Ming leaned back on the sofa and listened, while his secretary read the latest documents beside him.

After swallowing up the Zhao Family's assets, the Tong Family had seen significant development and even became the firmly established number one family in the imperial capital.

However, the core of the Tong Family was extremely weak.

The other super-elite families were essentially complete families, and even their in-laws would be pulled in to form an incredibly large core.

But the Tong Family was different; it had been just Tong Ming since the start of their business.

He had almost single-handedly contended with the other super-elite families of the imperial capital and ultimately reigned supreme over them.

Today, the so-called Tong Family was none other than him and Tong Ya!

"Son-in-law, ah! That skyscraper you mentioned, I know its ownership is extremely complicated. I didn't expect that you could acquire more than ninety percent of its property rights in such a short period of time. However, the remaining ten percent might be a bit difficult."

Chen Yu's brow was furrowed tightly; over the past few days, he had thoroughly studied the ownership of the entire building and discovered that the last ten percent of the property rights was in the hands of the Childe Family.

This family was not comparable to an ordinary Western royal family; they controlled tangible capital, and even historic royal families were merely playthings in their hands.

Taking ownership from them was harder than reaching the heavens.

"Dad, I heard you had some connections with the Childe Family when you were young. I wonder if it's possible to obtain that portion of the property rights through your relationships."

Tong Ming sighed helplessly.

"It was an invitation to cooperate, but at that time they wanted to control the stocks in my hands, and I rejected them!"

Chen Yu felt somewhat perplexed, "It seems we have to take drastic measures now!"

Tong Ming remained silent for a while, then casually took out a document from his person and handed it to Chen Yu.

"This is an analysis of the property structure of that building; there are some loopholes, and you can start with this Liu Kuohai!"

Chen Yu glanced over the document and instantly became excited.

Liu Kuohai's identity was illegal to begin with, so the property relationship between him and the Childe Family was unclear.

"I'll handle it right away!"

Chen Yu took the document and hurried out the door, heading straight for the relevant department. Now, all he needed was to process some related paperwork with this document to temporarily hold that portion of the property rights in his hands.

In any case, he had to integrate the whole building first before implementing the plans that followed.

As for the dispute with the Childe Family, that would have to wait for another time.

After acquiring the property rights to the building, Chen Yu immediately closed the shops and began a comprehensive renovation.

The decoration here was already extremely luxurious and the building was zoned for both commercial and residential use; it would only take a few days to complete the transformation.

It was just going to take some time to kick out all the mess inside.

In a temporary office on the top floor, Chen Yu and Ban Cheng sat together, laughing and chatting.

In front of them lay several contracts, which were the proofs of the two establishing their own sole proprietorship.

"Mr. Chen, you've really done me a huge favor. With this title, I guarantee that I can acquire all the property rights of Xiangyun Restaurant within half a month."

Ban Cheng was extremely excited; he had long been fed up with those old guys.

Chen Yu furrowed his brow, "No, we must get it done within a week!"

Huang Bancheng was somewhat puzzled, "Isn't that timeline too tight? After all, Xiangyun Restaurant has been around for centuries, and its property rights are extremely complex. How could this possibly be arranged in such little time?"

Chen Yu shook the contract in his hand casually.

"Now that the shares you hold are independently controlled by the two of us as a sole proprietorship, it becomes much simpler to manipulate the shareholding structure of Xiangyun Restaurant starting from this point!"

Huang Bancheng nodded, "I see what you mean, but my share is only seven percent. It's impossible to confront the remaining ninety-three percent no matter what!"

"Don't worry about that!" Chen Yu opened a laptop next to him, "Although you don't hold many shares, you have the right to list them. As long as we consolidate Xiangyun Restaurant and list it, I'll find a way to transfer their shares into your hands."

Huang Bancheng instantly understood.

What Chen Yu was talking about was the method to deal with the Zhao Family, just with a changed strategy applied to Xiangyun Restaurant.

Now, Huang Bancheng and Chen Yu had signed a personal agreement and established a sole proprietorship, controlling the seven percent of shares held by Huang Bancheng.

In other words, this portion of the property rights was completely independent of Xiangyun Restaurant.

Using these shares, Huang Bancheng could list the entire Xiangyun Restaurant, but during the listing perfectly retain this portion of the shares, separate from the listing.

In other words, only the remaining ninety-three percent of the shares would be listed.

Subsequently, they could manipulate the market to control the ninety-three percent of the shares.

At the same time, they could mobilize the remaining seven percent to penetrate and harvest, ultimately absorbing the ninety-three percent of shares with this portion.

And throughout this entire process, Huang Bancheng would not have the slightest concern.

After all, based on the current contract, he and Chen Yu jointly held the shares of the sole proprietorship. Even if Chen Yu changed his mind later, what he could take away was only fifty percent of Xiangyun Restaurant's shares.

And Huang Bancheng had promised Chen Yu this portion of the shares right from the start of their cooperation!

After discussing some details, Huang Bancheng hurriedly left the office.

Chen Yu rubbed his forehead and leaned back in his chair.

Just when he was about to take a rest, a rumbling noise suddenly came from outside the window.

At first, he didn't pay it any mind, since this was the top floor.

But at that moment, a loud shattering sound suddenly rang near his ear, and then an extremely stocky man broke through the window and jumped in, wielding a long knife in his hand.

This guy didn't say a word upon entering; he swung the long knife and hacked toward Chen Yu.

The sudden assassination caught Chen Yu completely off guard, and the system hadn't given any warning this time.

Chen Yu quickly adjusted his breathing and rapidly retreated.

'Ling Ling, what the hell is going on? How did this guy get inside?'

[The individual has an electromagnetic induction device on him, and I am unable to detect his movements.]

Chen Yu's pupils dilated suddenly. He had thought the system was omnipotent and could detect any danger, but now he realized that it couldn't monitor if the other party carried an electromagnetic induction device.

At this point, he didn't think too much and picked up a steel rod from nearby to fight back.

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the air, and after a dozen or so strikes, neither had gained the upper hand.

Chen Yu believed that his physical fitness had reached the human limit. Yet, he had met an opponent today who could exchange so many moves with him without falling short.
