130: 131 Chapter Meeting (Extra update for book friend Cute Duo Ice Cream) (34th update) 130: 131 Chapter Meeting (Extra update for book friend Cute Duo Ice Cream) (34th update) Forget it, there’s no use thinking too much.

Su Mo took out his phone and glanced at the time; it was already past seven in the evening.

It was time to go back.

At the top of the Dawn Group’s central building, outside the doors to the highest-level meeting room.

Rows of elites dressed in black and white interwoven business attire stood upright on both sides.

At this moment, the sound of high heels echoed as Qian Chengxue approached with a cold and efficient stride.

“Miss, good evening!”

Those waiting outside the meeting room greeted her with respectful bows.

At the same time, the tightly closed doors of the meeting room opened, and Qian Chengxue walked straight in.

Inside the solemn meeting room, which was already filled with people, a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples and a sharp gaze emanating an immense sense of oppression, sat in the leading seat.

This middle-aged man was none other than the ruler of the Dawn Group and the current Clan Leader of the Ye Family, Ye Tian.

At the front of the round meeting table, extraordinary-looking handsome men and beautiful women were seated, a few of whom were watching Qian Chengxue enter with amused looks in their eyes.

Qian Chengxue simply ignored these siblings of hers.

They say there’s no such thing as kinship in a wealthy family, let alone in such a financial conglomerate.

Especially since they weren’t born of the same mother.

To provide some context, after the last world war which resulted in the death of a large number of the male population, Country Z implemented a temporary law allowing for the legalization of polygamy in order to recover the population.

However, this law was revoked after being in effect for a while, but within the high walls, it was implicitly accepted.

“Sorry for being late.”

“It’s not a big deal if you’re late.

I heard our sister here caused quite a mix-up recently, ending up seizing our own people’s spoils of war…”

Ye Wei, the seventh sister, teased with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Sister needn’t worry about me.”

Qian Chengxue then took a seat in the tenth position; she was the tenth in the family hierarchy, therefore commanding the Tenth Legion.

There were thirteen siblings in total, each corresponding to one of the thirteen Legions.

Additionally, Qian Chengxue’s original name was Ye Xue.

However, due to certain reasons, she preferred not to be addressed by that name; thus, she adopted a second, pseudonymous name, akin to an online username.

Besides the siblings present, the room also contained dignified middle-aged men and women richly attired, who were their uncles and aunts from the older generation, as well as elders from the group.

It could be said that everyone present were core members of the Dawn Group.

Once everyone had arrived, Ye Tian stood up and said in a deep voice, “Alright, now that everyone’s here, I called this urgent meeting for one reason only, and that’s to discuss the issue of quotas.”

Upon hearing Ye Tian’s words, everyone in the room bore a serious expression, rendering the atmosphere utterly silent.

Ye Tian didn’t care; he gestured slightly with his hand, and a sultry secretary standing by started distributing documents to everyone present.

Qian Chengxue, looking at the document handed to her, flipped it open and saw it was meticulously detailed with the supplies and armaments she was expected to prepare.

Seeing the quantities, Qian Chengxue’s brows furrowed slightly.

At that moment, Ye Haitang, the second elder sister, addressed their father, “Father, isn’t this quota too enormous?”

“I have allocated these quotas based on the current development of your respective Legions; these are the amounts you must achieve.

I do not want to hear any excuses.

If you do not meet them, then the entire Dawn Group’s quota will also be unfulfilled, and next month’s subsidy of fifty billion will vanish into thin air.

The impact this would have on the entire Group…

I trust I don’t need to explain that to you?”

Ye Tian said to them in a stern voice.

As the people around fell into silence, Ye Tian continued, “Don’t think that just because we are one of the Five Dragon Heads and sit on hundreds of billions in assets, we could readily produce ten billion in cash.

Our assets are fixed, and of course, it’s not my intention to belittle you.

Even the wealthiest corporations in Country M, with assets in the tens of trillions, can’t produce a hundred billion in cash on demand.

So, you should understand how vital this subsidy is to us.”

While the Five Dragon Heads are indeed financial conglomerates, they fundamentally differ from those in other countries.

Others would stop at nothing to extract every ounce of wealth, heedless of consequences.

But the Five Dragon Heads of Country Z are restrained in many aspects.

They cannot simply exploit the masses at will.

Instead, their role is to maintain market economic stability and balance, as well as managing conflicts in international trade.

Another point to note is that the currency in this world is unified, all adopting the Federation Coin, which in Country Z is commonly referred to as “yuan” or “bucks.”

All money is printed under the same regulation, with private printing strictly forbidden.

As a result, the value of currency has significantly increased, and the spending power is exceedingly strong.

Furthermore, in an effort to symbolize status, the Federation Bank has introduced an exclusive series of one hundred “Colorful Diamond Cards,” only obtainable by depositing ten billion in fixed-term cash that can only be accessed upon card cancellation.

So far, fewer than thirty people have managed to secure these cards, demonstrating just how scarce and valuable money is.

At this point, as the oldest sibling, Ye Wuheng began to speak with a smile, “Father, there’s no need to rush; although this quota is large for us, it’s not entirely without hope.”

“Oh?

Do you have a good suggestion?”

Ye Tian looked at his eldest son.

With a smile, Ye Wuheng said, “It’s quite simple, everyone, look!”

At this, Ye Wuheng snapped his fingers, and a holographic map materialized in the middle of the meeting room.

“Our thirteen Legions are all located within a single region, yet they are isolated from one another.

Transit between each base requires a detour, preventing us from maximizing the effective use of our materials.

But if we can break through the largest city in the middle, not only can we harvest a vast amount of resources from within the city, but we can also relocate all industries to the central area, creating a giant production zone, and then all our problems will be solved.”

Ye Wuheng laid out his plan clearly for all to see.

The looks on the faces of the other siblings began to turn sour.

Although being spread out had its own benefits, such as autonomy, collapsing the central region meant everyone would be forced to shift their industries.

While production would increase, everyone’s resources would be fully exposed.

As the eldest, commanding the First Elite Group—already the strongest in the corporation and receiving the most resources—Ye Wuheng would naturally benefit the most from increased corporate profits post-merger.

Yet no one could directly refute Ye Wuheng’s suggestion, for if the Group failed to secure the subsidy, everyone would have much tougher days ahead.
