Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2491 - 1839: Leading the Inspection Team

After talking with Bai Xuanyu, Bai Xiaosheng adjusted his mindset the next day. He didn’t care what Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuan Yan had in store for him, nor what his second uncle was plotting.

He didn’t think about any of that.

Bai Xiaosheng only knew that he had taken on the inheritance task and had come this far.

Everything had been going as he worked hard for, and rewarded him accordingly. That was enough.

Instead of overthinking, it’s better to focus on the present.

So, Bai Xiaosheng simplified everything, acting as if nothing was happening, responding to changes as needed.

According to prior arrangements by the business group, Bai Xiaosheng was to take half of the members on a trip for inspection today.

As previously agreed, Bai Xiaosheng was currently the leader of Team Two of Huaxia Business Group, responsible for all matters.

Today, they were going to visit several enterprises, which were exceptional, all belonging to a major conglomerate named "Yang Corporation."

Speaking of this "Yang Corporation," it was quite formidable, on the same level as Zhenbei Group.

Of course, even within the same level, there were varying strengths. If compared, "Yang Corporation" and Zhenbei Group were like wolves and bears, with differences in size and power.

Even so, "Yang Corporation" was definitely one of those wealthy enough to rival nations in the business world of the Western Chieftain Union.

Yang Corporation’s headquarters wasn’t actually in the Aisha Emirate but had several key enterprises here.

Those enterprises mainly operated in the petrochemical and related industries.

Aisha Emirate was a major oil-producing country, having considerable influence in the international petroleum arena, and Yang Corporation’s enterprises boasted significant power in the Aisha Emirate’s petrochemical industry.

Therefore, before the trip, Hou Yuncheng specially advised Bai Xiaosheng to pay attention.

When entrusted by others, one must be loyal to the task. Since Bai Xiaosheng had agreed to lead the team, he naturally had done his homework in advance, buried the shocking news he heard yesterday deep down, and decided to fully focus on the present task.

For this reason, Bai Xiaosheng postponed his appointment with Chen Feiqiu, planned for the morning, to the evening.

On the way to visit Yang Corporation enterprises, Bai Xiaosheng communicated repeatedly with the accompanying businessmen.

Dong Tianlu, Zhang Qinglin, Wang Xuantian, Lu Tiandao, Lin Tianyi, and Hong Chengtian were all familiar faces on the same bus. All were Bai Xiaosheng’s acquaintances and members of the business alliance he built, having cooperated several times and were well acquainted with each other, making communication almost without any barriers or constraints.

After Bai Xiaosheng exchanged words with everyone, Dong Tianlu sat beside him and whispered to him—

"Actually, Yang Corporation has collaborations with several merchants present. From what I’ve learned, they want to take this opportunity to expand more partnerships. However, their captain seems to be closely connected with parties in Europe and America recently, possibly having found new partners. Therefore, they are very tough on raising prices and conditions with some existing partners among us."

Dong Tianlu shared the situation she was already aware of with Bai Xiaosheng.

In fact, her family business had also gotten involved in petrochemical-related industries over the past two years.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded upon hearing this.

Dong Tianlu leaned in closer and spoke about another matter unrelated to this, "As per your prior instructions, Zhang Qinglin, Lu Tiandao, Wang Xuantian, Lin Tianyi, and Hong Chengtian had private talks with everyone on this bus over the past two days, discussing the business alliance matter. Most are willing to join us."

Bai Xiaosheng had planned to establish a Global Business Alliance for a while now. Lately, he felt that adding members solely by himself was too slow, so he instructed trustworthy individuals to help introduce new partners.

It seems the results were pleasing.

"However, they found out you’re our behind-the-scenes alliance hierarch and were quite surprised. Many felt somewhat hesitant. After all, they’ve never dealt with you directly, only knowing of your deeds from the news, and still don’t know about your character and abilities." Dong Tianlu added.

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned upon hearing this, looked at Dong Tianlu, and couldn’t help but whisper, "I told you to expand the business alliance membership as much as possible, why did you... tell them directly I’m the hierarch? Mr. Lu Yun and Mr. Jia Chengshan’s prestige is more qualified!"

Bai Xiaosheng wanted to establish a global business alliance and become its hierarch, but felt initially ascending might be too soon. For the stability of the alliance, it was better to first promote a highly respected person as the public leader.

Dong Tianlu laughed upon hearing this and said, "We all recognize you as the alliance hierarch, even Mr. Lu Yun and Mr. Jia Chengshan expressed private approval. What’s the harm in revealing it? Disapproving of you is disapproving of all of us. Besides, once you start bridging new partners and connect with Europe and America, they will inevitably recognize your methods and respect you."

Bai Xiaosheng thought discussing further was futile, displaying a helpless smile, "I thought the look from some people in this bus was strange when we set off."

Dong Tianlu chuckled softly and whispered, "Naturally, they paid attention to you a bit, seeing what charm our young business hierarch has. Being appointed as we all team’s leader by Mr. Hou Yuncheng and others was essentially recognition from a higher level, already giving everyone a certain sense of approval. Today’s visit is actually an opportunity!"

Upon hearing that, Bai Xiaosheng looked at her in astonishment, "An opportunity, how so?"

Dong Tianlu lowered her voice, "Among the newly contacted people, more than half are extremely interested in Yang Corporation’s business. Some already have collaborations with them. Yang Corporation’s price increase and tougher cooperation conditions offer a chance if you, as the business group leader, can mediate and help reduce some terms to facilitate a new round of collaboration. It would show everyone your capability and techniques with real actions. Moreover, this would be the first wave of benefits you bring to them, gaining their recognition of you as the business hierarch and joining us, strengthening our business alliance further."

So, this "opportunity."

Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Regardless of whether new allies can be attracted, since I’m leading, it’s natural I fulfill my duties, helping our Huaxia businessmen achieve collaboration is my responsibility!"

Bai Xiaosheng was such a person, willing to fulfill others outside of conflicts of interest.

This was one reason why Lu Yun and others acknowledged him as the business alliance hierarch.

"Then thank you, Mr. Bai." Dong Tianlu playfully winked and said with a smile.

Her Dong Family had significant business involvement in the petrochemical industry and held great expectations for this visit. She also knew Bai Xiaosheng had extensive connections and wit, eagerly awaiting his potential contribution this time.

"Miss Dong should not set expectations too high; I will do my best, but I may not succeed." Bai Xiaosheng said.

"You attended Prince Hadu’s private banquet; given such connections, Yang Corporation wants to do business in Aisha Emirate, how can they not give you some face." Dong Tianlu smiled, showing no sign of the formidable demeanor of a big entrepreneur, like a clever fox.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t clarify that his invitation to Prince Hadu’s banquet was entirely due to someone else’s means, having no real connection with the prince.

"Anyway, don’t hold high hopes." Bai Xiaosheng mumbled.

"Mr. Bai should just perform normally without carrying too much psychological burden; no one expects you to prevent the Other side from raising prices. After all, in business terms, it’s unrealistic to assume that because of someone’s connections, a merchant wouldn’t seek profit." Dong Tianlu reassured Bai Xiaosheng with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng secretly breathed out and glanced towards the rear of the bus.

There, those many unfamiliar merchants were all watching him in anticipation.

This wasn’t just a trip led visit but clearly a test sheet for himself...

...

Two hours later, Bai Xiaosheng and the others arrived at the first company.

At the main entrance of the opponent’s industrial park, waiting to welcome Bai Xiaosheng and his team was a grand welcoming ceremony.

In the welcoming lineup, standing at the forefront was a middle-aged man, appearing cultured and refined, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, holding a cane. Beside him was a young and beautiful woman, similar in age to Bai Xiaosheng.

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng got off the bus, he saw these two people.

Standing next to Bai Xiaosheng, Dong Tianlu recognized them and whispered, "Unexpectedly, it’s him welcoming us!"

"Who is he?" Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously.

"Yang Xiaoyun, the second-in-command of Yang Corporation, known as the first negotiation expert of the Yang family! He’s a sly old fox, not easy to deal with!" Dong Tianlu squinted slightly.

Yang Xiaoyun? Upon hearing this name, Bai Xiaosheng immediately looked at the beautiful woman beside the middle-aged man.

The feminine name sounded more appropriate for someone like her.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes fall on the woman, Dong Tianlu sneered and said, "That’s his daughter, Yang Yishan."

Such a delicate beauty, with such a common name?

Bai Xiaosheng was first stunned and then looked at Dong Tianlu in surprise.

"Are you sure you didn’t mix up their names?"
