The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Sun Wei collapsed to the ground, his expression one of terror, no longer displaying the imposing presence of the East Sea overlord.

He never imagined that the Sun family business, which he had built with his own hands and was worth nearly a trillion, would one day become someone else's private domain.

The room fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at Qin Zheng, who sat calmly on the mahogany sofa, their minds blank, unable to recover for a long time.

Yuan Shao's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Qin Zheng to pull such a stunt, which showed that the Qin family still had some strength behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, it was still useless; the power of the Yuan family was beyond the comprehension of the Qin family.

Even Bai Lingxi and Wang Zhaoyue, who were initially dismissive, showed a hint of emotion in their eyes, but they only shook their heads slightly.

With trillions of dollars, it's a waste to use them just to control the Sun family. Does the Qin family want to break through in the East China Sea by relying on the Sun Group?

That's too simplistic. Even in the prosperous East China Sea, the Yuan family has ways to trap and destroy the Qin family.

The Qin family had no idea how terrifying the ancient aristocratic families truly were.

In a secluded corner, unnoticed by anyone, a portly, jeweled tycoon wearing a thick gold chain wiped the cold sweat from his brow, lowered his voice, and trembled as he said:

"Old Zhou, do you think the Qin family can still turn things around?"

The Mediterranean tycoon smiled and shook his head.

"So what if the Qin family can move to the Sun family? The ancient aristocratic family has unfathomable foundations. Just look at the Yuan family, who dares to oppose them? These people will even look for an opportunity to kick the Qin family while they're down. The Qin family's chances of winning are at most 10%, and even that 10% depends on the Yuan family's attitude."

The two had previously made a bet: the Mediterranean tycoon, Lao Zhou, bet that the Qin family would be destroyed today, while the fat jewelry tycoon, Lao Li, bet that the Qin family would survive.

"Indeed, who would dare disobey the Yuan family's order?" Old Li sighed deeply.

Just as the atmosphere was buzzing with discussion, several steady and composed footsteps slowly approached from the main entrance of the hall.

"Oh, it seems you all arrived quite early; the scene is rather lively." A teasing voice came along with the sound of footsteps.

Everyone turned around again and saw Li Haitao, the top official of Jiangnan Province, accompanying Governor Chen Wenbin and several subordinates carrying ordinary gifts such as local eggs and peanut oil into the hall.

When Fang Rui saw Li Haitao, it was like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

He strode forward, his voice filled with righteous indignation as he denounced:

"Secretary Li! You've come at the perfect time! The Qin family has maliciously shorted our Fang family's Zhengguang Group and disrupted the business order in Jiangnan. Such egregious behavior cannot be tolerated! We implore you, Secretary, to uphold justice for the people and severely punish the Qin family!"

Fang Rui knew the principle of putting on a hat before firing a shot. He knew that after saying these words, Li Haitao would definitely have to punish the Qin family in front of everyone.

Then, to the surprise of the surrounding tycoons, Li Haitao merely glanced at Fang Rui with a calm expression, and his next words left Fang Rui dumbfounded.

"Fang Rui, didn't your Fang family voluntarily propose a complete withdrawal of investment and all provincial-level cooperation projects last night? Have you forgotten that?"

"The Qin family officially contacted the government this morning and took over all the provincial projects that your Fang family had shelved. For the remaining projects, your Fang family only needs to cooperate in the handover."

"As for the rest of your family's assets, you are free to dispose of the compliant and legal parts yourself. However, for the problematic assets, we need to wait for Director Li to investigate their origins before we can decide whether you can take them with you."

Fang Rui was completely dumbfounded, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot.

He knew that at this moment, the Fang family, which had dominated Jiangnan for many years, was completely finished.

Li Haitao didn't care about Fang Rui's situation. He turned to Yuan Shao and said with a smile:

"Young Master Yuan, today's matter is ultimately just a misunderstanding. There's no need to escalate it to the point of life and death. For my sake, let's just let this matter drop, shall we?"

As a high-ranking official in Jiangnan, Li Haitao's influence was something that even Sun Wei of the neighboring Donghai Province and Ding Hui of the capital had to carefully consider.

Yuan Shao merely raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone remaining indifferent.

"Secretary Li, under normal circumstances, I would have given you this face. But with the Qin family, it's unacceptable. The Yuan family's reputation cannot be humiliated."

The Yuan family's roots are firmly established in Guangdong Province, occupying the core hinterland of the south, and their influence extends throughout the country, allowing them to operate without being constrained by the officialdom of Jiangnan.

Although Li Haitao is the top official in Jiangnan, he is ultimately powerless against the ancient Yuan family, whose influence spans generations and is located far away in Guangdong Province. He is unable to exert any checks and balances on the Yuan family.

Upon hearing this, Li Haitao's smile faltered, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, Qin Zheng suddenly chuckled, "Secretary Li, you may simply sit down and have some tea today. The little Yuan family is not worthy of your attention; I could wipe them out with a wave of my hand."

These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present once again.

Qin Zheng clearly doesn't take the Yuan family seriously at all.

Seeing this, Ding Hui stepped forward.

"Qin Zheng, you are far too arrogant! Since that's the case, my Ding family, in accordance with the words of the Yuan family's young master, will impose a medical blockade on your Qin family!"

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

The Ding family's Mingguang Group monopolizes the entire industrial chain of high-end medical care, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, geriatric critical care, and high-end biopharmaceuticals nationwide.

The Ding family controls 70% of the nation's high-end medical patents, high-end health and wellness treatments, and critical care technologies!

All downstream medical institutions, health and wellness centers, and private hospitals rely on Ding's patent licensing for technology and pharmaceutical supply.

Who doesn't get sick when they get old? And when you get sick, you have to see a doctor. If you don't have a doctor to treat you, even a minor ailment can not only be tormenting, but it can also develop into a serious illness.

The Ding family's actions have completely blocked the Qin family's access to medical care.

Ding Hui, with an air of arrogance, declared, "From this day forward, my Ding family will completely sever all medical resources from the Qin family, implementing a comprehensive medical blockade! I will ensure that no one in your Qin family dares to seek medical treatment and has no medicine available!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a series of steady footsteps sounded from the main entrance of the hall.

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw an elderly man in an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, with gray hair and beard but vigorous spirit, slowly walking in, giving people a warm and dignified feeling.

Beside the old man stood a young girl with pigtails, a pure and clean face, and a gentle and quiet temperament. Her eyes were bright and lively, and she was poised and graceful.

Just as everyone was wondering who these two people were, Ding Hui had already stepped forward quickly, bowed respectfully, and spoke in a respectful tone.

"Master Duanmu, what brings you here in person? I have long admired your name, and it is truly an honor for this junior to meet you today."

Everyone present was surprised by Ding Hui's demeanor and hurriedly inquired about the background of the Duanmu family, but no one could reveal his identity.

When Ding Hui saw that no one knew about the Duanmu family, he explained to them that the Duanmu family was actually a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine!

The Duanmu family is an ancient family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners with a history of over a thousand years. Legend has it that their ancestors were from the Duanmu family during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Although not a worldly wealthy family, they hold a transcendent status.

During the chaotic times, the Duanmu family devoted all their resources to practicing medicine, saving lives and treating soldiers and civilians, and donating their prescriptions and medical skills free of charge, making huge sacrifices for their country.

Subsequently, the influx of Western medicine into the domestic market impacted the traditional Chinese medicine system. Coupled with the strict requirements for inheritance and the extreme difficulty in mastering the skills, the Duanmu family suffered a decline in talent and gradually faded from public view, eventually falling into obscurity.

Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; the Duanmu family remains the undisputed leading authority in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Ninety percent of the authentic ancient prescriptions, meridian therapy systems, and traditional health preservation treatments on the market all originate from the Duanmu family's heritage.

Even the high-end health and wellness formulas, anti-aging physiotherapy techniques, and critical care TCM adjuvant therapies that their Ding family Mingguang Group relies on were all learned from a branch of the Duanmu family in their early years and were only allowed to be used for commercial profit after being authorized!

Bai Lingxi and Wang Zhaoyue shook their heads; Ding Hui only knew the surface level.

The older generation of the various ancient families deeply believe in traditional Chinese medicine and firmly believe that the body should not be subjected to surgery lightly. Whenever they are sick, they only trust the Duanmu family for treatment and never trust Western medicine surgery.

Despite its apparent decline, the Duanmu family possesses a wealth of connections and influence among top-tier families, with networks extending to the highest echelons of society.

Even the Wang and Bai families owed the Duanmu family a favor. If the Duanmu family asked for help, they would give them some face unless it was a major matter.
