At the same time, the central council hall was brightly lit.

A consultation concerning a major transnational cooperation has just concluded.

The large-scale transnational trade project codenamed "Road to the East" has attracted the attention of all the top wealthy families in the country.

Once the project is launched, it will create unprecedented opportunities for cooperation. Everyone is calculating how much resources they can contribute to get a share of the pie.

This project has been in preparation for a long time. Once it is launched, it will open up cross-continental trade channels, export mature industrial, infrastructure and trade systems, and bring immeasurable long-term benefits.

Even the four families of Wang, Bai, Li, and Xie have suspended all matters today and held a family meeting to discuss the maximum resources they can invest if the project is implemented, without affecting the normal operation of their family businesses.

The lengthy negotiations continued until late at night, and as the relevant personnel gradually left, the large meeting room finally quieted down.

In the empty and solemn meeting room, only the leader's personal confidential secretary and a group of security personnel remained.

Zeng Yunqi slowly stood up, stretched his body, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Tomorrow, make arrangements for the heads of the Wang, Bai, Li, and Xie families to come to the central government."

Such a significant project requires someone to take the lead and attract numerous large and small amounts of capital to ensure its operation.

The most suitable candidates are undoubtedly the four top-tier families in the Dragon Kingdom, each with a foundation of around 50 trillion.

The confidential secretary bowed to accept the order, then raised his head slightly, his expression somewhat solemn, and reported in a soft voice.

"Yes, but there is something I need to report to you in advance. This matter may have a significant impact on the overall investment and resource allocation of the 'Eastern Road' project."

Zeng Yunqi paused slightly, his expression calm and composed, and spoke softly.

"explain."

The secretary composed herself and lowered her voice, saying:

"The newly emerging Qin family in Jiangnan is suspected to be an ancient family with a rich heritage, and its background far surpasses that of the four top wealthy families: Wang, Bai, Li, and Xie. However, its ancestral origins and true identity are still in doubt, and Section Chief Wei Zheng is urgently investigating them."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Yunqi's eyes flashed with obvious curiosity and surprise, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and disbelief.

"A family with a foundation far surpassing the Wang, Bai, and Li families? There's actually such a reclusive family within the Dragon Kingdom?"

He already knew the ins and outs of all the top circles and elite families in China.

Wang, Bai, and Li are already among the most prestigious families in China, and even the world.

Now, a nameless Qin family has suddenly appeared, claiming to have a foundation that surpasses the four great families. He subconsciously felt that it was impossible.

The secretary was extremely good at reading people and immediately saw the doubt and disbelief in the leader's eyes. He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should continue to explain in detail.

Seeing this, Zeng Yunqi casually said:

"Go on, what kind of background do you have that makes you all so surprised?"

The secretary swallowed hard, suppressing the shock in her heart, and softly uttered a number that was enough to overturn the common understanding of normal people.

"Reporting to the commander, the Qin family has access to working capital, conservatively estimated..."

"More than one hundred trillion."

"Over 10 billion?"

Zeng Yunqi subconsciously replied casually, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant amusement:

"Over 10 billion? Making such a fuss over something so trivial, I think you and Wei Zheng..."

He was about to continue his sarcasm, saying that everyone was making a mountain out of a molehill and overreacting to a deal worth tens of billions.

But the next second, his words suddenly stopped, as if his throat was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and the rest of his teasing remark was stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered.

Tens of billions?

wrong!

The secretary didn't say it was 10 billion at all!

Zeng Yunqi's pupils suddenly contracted, his body stiffened slightly, and he stared intently at the confidential secretary in front of him, speaking slowly and deliberately with an extremely solemn tone.

"You just said... a hundred trillion?"

"yes!"

The secretary nodded emphatically, her voice trembling with barely concealed shock.

"Sir, you heard me correctly, it is indeed over one hundred trillion!"

"Previously, the Qin family voluntarily transferred 100 trillion yuan in full guarantee funds to the Weihang Regulatory Bureau's official account. The entire process was open, transparent, and verifiable, and the funds remain firmly in the regulatory account to this day, untouched!"

hiss!

Even Zeng Yunqi, who had seen countless storms and whose temperament had been tempered to the extreme, couldn't help but gasp at this moment, his chest heaving violently, and his heart was filled with unprecedented turmoil.

One hundred trillion!

The voluntary guarantee deposits alone amount to a staggering one hundred trillion!

Just how incredibly powerful and terrifying was the Qin family's true wealth?

He forcefully suppressed the extreme shock in his heart, his expression remaining tense, and asked in a deep voice:

"Tracing the Qin family's ancestry back to its origins, there are still no results?"

The secretary quickly replied:

"Section Chief Wei Zheng has obtained samples of the Qin family's ancestral accessories and is expediting the carbon-14 dating. The true identity of the Qin family's ancestors could be determined as early as tomorrow."

Zeng Yunqi slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up air, gazing at the deep night sky outside the window, his expression complex and solemn.

A hundred trillion dollars is a concept that is simply unimaginable.

Even for him, it would be difficult to find anything of comparable value on Earth.

At this moment, Zeng Yunqi's heart was also in turmoil, one wave after another, and he could not calm down for a long time.

The secretary standing nearby empathized with his superior's reaction. When he first heard the news reported by Wei Zheng, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, which shows how shocking the matter was to him.

After a long silence, Zeng Yunqi, with a serious expression, slowly spoke, his tone stern:

"You, go and invite the Qin family patriarch to the central government tomorrow."

"I want to see him in person!"
