Chapter 138: Chapter 100: 5 Billion US Dollars_2
Some time ago, Ryoko Oogawa launched an attack on Dream Foods over the Internet, and domestic investment companies saw Dream Foods teetering on the brink of collapse. Some disappeared, but others, smelling blood in the water, pressed to lower their investment offers even further, hoping to snatch up more shares of Dream Foods at bargain prices. Naturally, these companies were all unceremoniously shown the door by Yan Fei.
Just when the trouble with Dream Foods had been resolved, these investment companies reappeared. Not only were there domestic companies, but even international VC companies showed up. Yan Fei actually understood the mentality of these VC firms very well; his Weight Loss Cookies were too impressive, boasting huge market potential and substantial profits, and who wouldn’t want a piece of that? However, as the owner of Dream Foods, Yan Fei would rather transfer his shares to Lu Pingping for free than let these vampires benefit undeservedly. But Lu Pingping didn’t care for his shares at all, leaving him amused and somewhat exasperated.
Yan Fei thought for a moment, then said, “I have time today; let’s meet with them.”
Lu Pingping was curious, “Do you really intend to bring in their investment?”
Yan Fei laughed, “I’m not that brain-dead. I just want to tell them personally that I don’t need their investment, to make them give up and stop bothering you every day.”
Lu Pingping gave Yan Fei a look and personally went to arrange the meeting between Yan Fei and the representatives of the investment companies. Seeing that look from Lu Pingping made Yan Fei nostalgic. Back in the Zhen Dan University Genius Class, Lu Pingping was still somewhat green and lacked sophistication. He hadn’t expected that after a few years of not seeing her, she would have transformed into an incredibly charismatic and charming woman.
Soon, in the Dream Technology Company’s conference room, Yan Fei met with representatives from several investment companies, which included both foreigners and Chinese people.
These VC company delegates had always wanted to meet Dream Technology’s owner, Yan Fei, but had been blocked by Lu Pingping with various excuses. However, they weren’t discouraged and persisted in visiting every day. Today they finally got their wish to meet Yan Fei, which filled them with joy.
Yan Fei rarely appeared in front of the media, so few people had seen him in person. However, these VC company representatives had already witnessed Yan Fei’s prowess in a video of his Taekwondo battle that was circulating on the Internet. Now, meeting him in person, they suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from him that turned their initial elation into unease.
After the Drone reached Level 4, the power within Yan Fei’s body surged once again. Previously, he had believed that the enhancement of strength due to martial arts was merely an increase in physical power. It wasn’t until explained by Coach Wang Yong did he realize that the increase was due to the exercise and fortification of various tissues and organs within his body. Conversely, this enhancement allowed him perfect control over the tissues and organs of his body.
From Coach Wang Yong, Yan Fei learned about the three realms of martial arts: the Acquired Realm, the Innate Realm, and the Divine Realm. When the Drone was at Level 3, he felt he had already reached the peak of the Acquired Realm, which was evident when he was free-falling in the sky, perfectly controlling his body to battle Hideo Oogawa in mid-air. According to Wang Yong, once a person reaches the peak of the Acquired Realm, their physical strength would no longer increase. The next step would be entering the Innate Realm, beginning the integration of internal strength.
Hideo Oogawa was an expert of the Innate Realm; his casual punches and kicks integrated the strength from other tissues and organs in his body, yielding incredible power. Thus, even though Yan Fei was already very strong, he felt outmatched by Hideo Oogawa because he was countering Hideo’s full body strength with just a portion of his own, naturally putting him at a disadvantage in terms of power.
However, after the Drone advanced to Level 4, Yan Fei’s strength doubled once more, reaching 16 times what it had been initially. His strength naturally entered the Innate Realm, and his next goal was to fuse all his physical strength and release a tremendous destructive force, with a single punch demonstrating extreme power, truly reflecting his superhuman strength.
The only surprise for Yan Fei was that, according to Wang Yong, his strength was not supposed to increase any further after reaching the peak of the Acquired Realm. However, under the influence of the mysterious Drone, his strength had doubled again, far surpassing that of a typical expert in the Innate Realm, highlighting the Drone’s enigmatic nature.
Upon entering the Innate Realm, Yan Fei’s control over his own tissues and organs became even more natural. The action of using his ear muscles to block his ears was effortless for him. Controlling the muscles of his face and vocal cords was an even smaller issue, so in preparation for meeting the VC company representatives, he started adjusting his facial muscles. Without changing his appearance, he made himself look more intimidating, not giving these people a chance to pressure him.
When the representatives of the VC companies finally saw Yan Fei in the conference room, they were all taken aback by his fearsome expression. Even Lu Pingping was startled, but she quickly recovered and introduced both parties.
As soon as Lu Pingping finished the introductions, a middle-aged Caucasian man stood up and said, “Chairman Yan, hello! I’m Grant Brawl from IDG Capital. Our company is very optimistic about Dream Foods, a subsidiary of your Dream Technology, and its production of Weight Loss Cookies. We would like to invest in your company.”
