"Mr. Lee."

Upon seeing Li Jun, Ding Yao immediately bowed to greet him, deliberately revealing her deep cleavage while glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

Clearly, she hadn't given up on her idea of ​​seducing Li Jun.

"Ding Yao, I prefer your other values ​​to your physical body."

Li Jun sat down on the sofa in the suite's living room, looked at Ding Yao, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, what qualities of mine do you appreciate most?"

Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Ding Yao immediately straightened up, looked at Li Jun, and asked with a smile.

"You've done a good job in Taiwan these past six months. Apart from Uncle Zhongyong, you've taken care of the entire Sanlian Gang. But I heard that Lei Gong's son, Lei Fuhong, is coming back from America. What are you planning to do?"

Li Jun did not answer Ding Yao's question, but instead asked her a question in return.

"..."

Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Ding Yao was startled. She had been very secretive in dealing with some of the hall masters, yet Li Jun knew about it.

At this moment, Ding Yao realized that Qiu Gang'ao, Zhu Xuming, and others were just the people Li Jun had placed around her on the surface; Li Jun had secretly planted countless spies around her.

Thinking of this, Ding Yao secretly glanced at Li Jun, only to find that Li Jun was also looking at her with a half-smile, which startled Ding Yao. She quickly looked away and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "Mr. Li, I plan to use the method you used before to send Lei Fuhong directly to reunite with his father."

'Pat pat pat~'

Upon hearing Ding Yao's words, Li Jun clapped with a smile: "Ding Yao, you've finally learned a bit of my true teachings. When I'm strong and the enemy is weak, physical destruction is indeed the most convenient method."

"I learned it all from you, Mr. Li."

Ding Yao replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Ding Yao's words, Li Jun's smile vanished instantly, and he looked at Ding Yao with a serious expression, saying earnestly, "Ding Yao, now tell me, do you want to be the underground queen of Taiwan?"

"..."

Ding Yao was taken aback by Li Jun's sudden question. After a few seconds, she reacted, looked at Li Jun, and slowly said, "It's all up to Brother Jun's arrangements."

She had dealt with Li Jun a few times before, and she realized how terrifying this man, who was a year younger than her, was. Every word he said had a hidden meaning, making Ding Yao unpredictable. So even though she really wanted to be the underground queen of Taiwan, she didn't dare to say it out loud. Instead, she quietly passed the question back to Li Jun.

"Ding Yao, what do you think defines a king of the underworld?"

Li Jun then asked Ding Yao a new question.

"A person who is absolute in word and commands absolute obedience?"

Ding Yao answered cautiously.

"not enough."

Li Jun smiled and shook his head.

"Holding the power of life and death in my hands, those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish?"

Ding Yao added.

"Ding Yao, having control over life and death can indeed inspire fear, but such rule is like walking a tightrope, extremely dangerous. Only by concentrating all benefits on you, so that when you prosper everyone prospers and when you decline everyone declines, can everyone truly serve you wholeheartedly, even valuing you more than you value yourself."

Li Jun said to Ding Yao with a smile.

"Brother Jun, you're right."

Ding Yao said this, but in her heart she was not convinced. People are not US dollars, how can they achieve the level that Li Jun said? That would not be called an underground queen, but an underground goddess.

"Ding Yao, do you think I was bragging just now?"

Li Jun seemed to have seen through Ding Yao's thoughts and asked with a smile.

"No, Jun-ge, I truly admire you."

Ding Yao quickly defended herself.

Then, she saw Li Jun throw something to her. She caught it instinctively and looked closely before realizing that what Li Jun had thrown to her was actually a gold bar weighing about 100g.

"Brother Jun, what's this?"

After examining the gold bar and finding nothing unusual, Ding Yao looked at Li Jun and asked, completely bewildered.

"Ding Yao, to be honest, I've been mining gold in Southeast Asia for the past six months. I have 15 tons of gold bars like these, all produced in the Southeast Asian gold mines over the past six months."

Li Jun looked at Ding Yao and said with a smile.

In fact, Li Jun didn't say much. The gold mine on Mabast Island produced 15 tons of gold in six months, but with Li Jun's "Midas touch" skill, those 15 tons of gold could be increased to 22.5 tons. Even so, it was still shocking enough for Ding Yao.

"Boom!"

Ding Yao was stunned when she heard Li Jun's words.

She never expected that Li Jun would do such a big thing in just half a year.

A gold mine that produces 15 tons of gold in six months would produce 30 tons in a year, which would be worth 60 billion Hong Kong dollars. This level of capability exceeds the ceiling for a triad boss and is even beyond the reach of some major warlords.

At that moment, all the distracting thoughts in Ding Yao's mind vanished instantly. Someone who could seize such a large gold mine in a place like Southeast Asia was definitely not someone she could outmaneuver.

A dozen seconds later, Ding Yao came to her senses and looked at Li Jun in disbelief, saying, "Brother Jun, do you mean that your gold mine in Southeast Asia can produce 30 tons of gold a year?"

"Yes."

Li Jun nodded in confirmation.

"Brother Jun, are you planning to use all this gold to buy up the entire underworld of Taiwan?"

When Ding Yao said this, her expression was very serious. If you gave her 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, she could buy off all the leaders of the Songlin Gang and Sihai Gang from top to bottom. After all, who isn't in the business for money?

"Hahahaha~"

Upon hearing Ding Yao's words, Li Jun burst into laughter, laughing for over a minute before turning to Ding Yao and saying, "Ding Yao, does taking care of the Taiwanese underworld really mean you've taken care of it? Don't forget, behind every major gang in Taiwan, there are experts 'guiding' you."

Ding Yao's expression hardened, and she lowered her head, saying, "Mr. Li, please tell me, what should I do?"

She simply couldn't fathom Li Jun's thoughts.

“Ding Yao, let me ask you this: If I put 15 tons of gold in front of you and told you that I have a gold mine in Southeast Asia with an annual output of several dozen tons, but I currently lack the funds to expand the scale, and I want to ask you for financing, and I will repay you 30% more interest after one year, would you be willing to lend it to me?”

Li Jun looked at Ding Yao and asked with a smile.

"Of course, if 15 tons of gold were right in front of me, I would definitely agree. I would invest as much money as I had."

Ding Yao nodded in agreement without hesitation.

“Ding Yao, if you think this way, then everyone else on Taiwan must think the same way. Lending money out for a year and making a net profit of 30% interest, plus 15 tons of gold as collateral—who wouldn’t do such a good thing? Am I right?”

Li Jun said with a smile.

"Correct."

Ding Yao nodded in agreement.

"If each of the 1 million households in Taiwan contributes 400, that's 10 billion; if each household contributes 4000, that's 400 billion. If everyone puts all their money into investing in gold mines, how much money do you think they could make? Wouldn't the people of Hong Kong Island and Macao be envious? Wouldn't they also put their money into investing?"

Li Jun looked at Ding Yao, smiled slightly, and said slowly.

This is the second thing Li Jun needs to do.

With the rise of the Four Asian Tigers, not only Hong Kong Island and Taiwan became increasingly wealthy, but in Li Jun's memory, a financing company called Hongyuan Group emerged in Taiwan during this period, which defrauded Taiwan of 1000 billion NT dollars.

What Li Jun wanted to do was similar to what the Hongyuan Group was doing: turning stones into gold and selling that gold to exchange for system points. So Li Jun came up with this idea.

If Hongyuan Group can swindle 1000 billion NT dollars with nothing, then if Li Jun takes out real gold, wouldn't the people on the island go crazy?

"But, Brother Jun, how are we going to pay the 30% interest rate?"

At that time, large-scale financial fundraising scams had not yet emerged, so Ding Yao was completely dumbfounded.

"Ding Yao, after the financing, gold will be continuously sent to Taiwan to boost the confidence of the borrowers. Moreover, the interest rate will drop to 20% in the second year, 15% in the third year, and 10% in the fourth year. Then we will announce that customers who do not redeem their principal in the first year can receive 30% interest indefinitely. With this in mind, do you think anyone will still want to redeem their principal?"

Li Jun looked at Ding Yao and spoke slowly.

"..."

Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Ding Yao was stunned. She never expected there to be such a way of playing. Only a fool would be able to get their principal back in this way.

"In the fourth year, the interest we paid to the first batch of borrowers exceeded the principal."

After a brief moment of shock and contemplation, Ding Yao asked another question.

"Haha, Ding Yao, before the fourth year of interest payments, the gold mine will go bankrupt due to a major accident. At that time, we will give you two options. The first is to return the principal, but the interest paid in advance will be deducted. The second is to continue to hold our financing until a new gold mine is found, and then continue to pay interest. After that, our financing company can be changed into a bank."

"Think about it, back then, there were 2000 million people on the island. How many people wanted you to live, and how many people wanted you to die?"

Li Jun looked at Ding Yao and spoke slowly, word by word.

"Boom!"

After hearing Li Jun's words, Ding Yao was completely stunned. She remembered what Li Jun had said before: "Only when all the benefits are concentrated on you, when you prosper everyone, and when you fail everyone fails, can everyone truly serve you and even value you more than you value yourself."

Given Li Jun's approach, Ding Yao was certain that at that time, she wouldn't just be the underground queen of Taiwan, she'd probably even have a chance to run for the leadership of Taiwan...

Thinking of this, Ding Yao's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Li Jun. This man was about to manipulate the hearts and minds of 2000 million people on Taiwan with just a few words. This was beyond terrifying; he was practically a human demon.

"Ding Yao, I've given you the chance. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you."

Li Jun looked at Ding Yao, whose eyes were vacant and who was completely dumbfounded, and said with a smile.

"..."

After hearing Li Jun's words, Ding Yao came back to her senses and took another deep look at the man in front of her.
