Chapter 65: Why on earth did you have to provoke this formidable deity?

George contacted a headhunter agency immediately.

He planned to establish a new company!

Much like how Huang's International Investment controlled Future!

On one hand, this was to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, the boss preferred to operate as a behind-the-scenes capital tycoon!

On the other hand, it was to prevent Huang's International Investment from falling under suspicion of monopolistic practices!

Once a monopoly was established, it could easily bring about unwanted complications.

For instance, facing a forced breakup?

Those were certainly not outcomes George wished to see!

As a qualified professional manager, he naturally had to consider the future of the company under his helm, and most importantly, consider the boss!

Besides, Huang Feiyang was currently his idol!

And the God of Wealth in his eyes!

Naturally, it would be difficult for him not to pour his heart and soul into the work!

In the afternoon, Huang Feiyang received a phone call—a somewhat unexpected one.

The call came from one of his uncles.

Or rather, a subordinate of his grandfather.

Someone was investigating him?

And it seemed they did not come with good intentions?

The other party was a young master from a prominent family in the Imperial Capital?

"I understand."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Huang Feiyang said calmly after listening.

At the same time, a trace of playful amusement stirred within his heart.

A particular person immediately came to mind.

The young man he had disciplined not long ago at Panjiayuan.

Was he probably trying to exact revenge through his connections?

Aside from him, Huang Feiyang truly could not think of anyone else he had offended recently.

Li Wen was one, certainly.

The problem was, Li Wen should be up to his neck in his own troubles by now, shouldn't he?

After hanging up, Huang Feiyang brushed the matter aside instantly.

It was quite simple: whether it was that puny young man he had taught a lesson to or the backing he relied on, Huang Feiyang did not take them to heart at all.

Young masters who had reached a certain level would surely not easily make an enemy of him without cause, would they?

And if they insisted on making an enemy of him, it was no big deal anyway.

After all, his family background was far from inferior!

What was there to worry about?

...

In the Imperial Capital, inside a private club.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, a mediocre-looking young man's expression shifted slightly.

They only found out the other party was named Huang Feiyang?

No other useful information could be uncovered!

Yet, the person was exceptionally wealthy!

He understood what this implied.

It seemed Huang Feiyang's background was terrifyingly formidable!

At this thought, a wave of intense annoyance washed over the young man.

After a moment of thought, he dialed a phone call.

"Lin Feng!"

"Tell me honestly, who exactly is that person?"

"Don't let me find out that you used me, Zhang Wei, as your spear! Otherwise..."

At the end of his sentence, the young man let out a cold snort.

"Young Master Zhang, I..."

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned.

At the same time, his heart was pounding anxiously.

Could it be?

That kid's background was truly astonishing?

At that thought, a creeping sense of dread filled him.

Lin Feng knew that if Huang Feiyang was indeed the young master of some prominent family,

crushing him to death would probably be no different from squashing an ant.

With this realization, he felt utterly sick to his stomach.

Regret flooded through him intensely!

Why had he been so arrogant in the first place?

Taking a deep breath, he honestly recounted what had happened at Panjiayuan.

"Are you an idiot?"

Roaring in anger, Zhang Wei hung up the phone abruptly.

"Huang Feiyang?"

"Why does this name sound a bit familiar?"

"Wait!"

After calming his emotions slightly, Zhang Wei muttered to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

At that very moment, a realization dawned upon him.

He knew the background of every single young master and miss who had reached a certain tier in the Imperial Capital.

There was only one person of whom he had no clear impression.

And that was Huang Feiyang.

The descendant of a supreme heavyweight figure!

A fellow who didn't stay in the Imperial Capital!

Rumor had it that the guy used to be an utter prodigal.

And legend had it that the guy had scored the highest marks in this year's national college entrance examination?

At this thought, Zhang Wei could no longer remain calm.

Even if you combined ten Zhang families, they wouldn't be a match for the Huang family's influence.

That wasn't even the main point!

The crucial point was that Huang Feiyang was the sole heir of the Huang family.

And Elder Huang was notoriously protective of his own.

If he locked horns with Huang Feiyang over this incident—especially since the other party was in the right—

he would probably lose a layer of skin even if he managed to survive!

Just thinking about it made Zhang Wei's scalp tingle.

As for Lin Feng, hatred burned fiercely in his chest.

Bastard!

Damnable fool!

Why was this lackey he had taken in on a whim so utterly idiotic?

Why did he have to provoke this supreme Buddha?

Did having a few spare coins make him think he was all-powerful?

What an absolute moron!

In the Imperial Capital, right under the emperor's nose, there were countless powerful figures hidden both in the light and in the shadows!

Pacing back and forth for a moment, Zhang Wei dialed Lin Feng's number again.

"No matter what, no matter the cost, you must appease his anger."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"No! You're coming with me to apologize in person!"

"Damn it! I almost got killed by an idiot like you!"

If Zhang Wei and Lin Feng were currently like ants on a hot pan, Huang Feiyang was more like a lazy cat.

This fellow was lounging leisurely on the living room sofa at home, casually browsing through international news.

Of course!

When it came to these news reports, Huang Feiyang only skimmed the general outlines and the macro trends.

He certainly didn't take them at face value!

"Looks like it's time to set up a commercial intelligence department."

Taking a sip of water, Huang Feiyang muttered to himself.

The twenty-first century was an era of an information and internet explosion.

How could one manage a massive business empire smoothly without a proper commercial intelligence system?

Seeing the news, Huang Feiyang suddenly recalled something.

The Afghanistan War!

It seemed that with the outbreak of this war,

international crude oil prices would experience a continuous plunge in the short term.

Overall, however, the war's impact on international oil prices would be relatively minor.

By the year 2002, wouldn't oil prices start rising again?

None of that mattered much!

Huang Feiyang wasn't overly concerned with those details either.

He simply felt that perhaps it was time for him to start positioning himself in the international crude oil futures market.

Going short first and then going long—wouldn't that be wonderfully profitable?

The thought of making a fortune from the international crude oil futures market sent a surge of excitement through him.

It looked like the cash at his disposal was about to expand exponentially once again!

Hahaha!

Sitting up slowly, Huang Feiyang placed a call to Jess.

This time, he didn't plan to have Future short the international crude oil futures.

Instead, he chose to deploy his own massive pool of capital,

entrusting Future to execute the trades!

On one hand, this would help build Future's reputation; on the other hand, he would rake in a massive profit. Why not?
