La forgeronne d'un autre monde - Chapitre 524
The driver was completely stunned, unable to believe that Ma Yunteng had actually acquired Rimin Group.
Who did I just pull in? The richest man in China?
After calming down for a long time, the driver asked speechlessly, "Where are you planning to go next?"
"Still a big company," Ma Yunteng said casually, lighting a Red Double Happiness cigarette. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate, unrelated phrase: "Urban Number One Tycoon")

Chapter 396 Just Buy It
After calming down for a long time, the driver asked speechlessly, "Where are you planning to go next?"
"Still a big company," Ma Yunteng said casually, lighting a Red Double Happiness cigarette.
The driver was stunned when he heard this. Just now, Ma Yunteng said he was going to a big corporation, and then when Ma Yunteng came out, he directly acquired Rimin Group. Now Ma Yunteng is going to another big company.
This Chinese man seems different from the ones I've met before. The driver stared at Ma Yunteng in a daze, but since he was just a driver hired by Ma Yunteng, he didn't say anything at the moment, stepped on the gas, and drove towards another large company.
"Brother Teng, what exactly are you planning to do?" Li Xiyue was becoming increasingly confused. She had initially thought that Ma Yunteng was just buying a company on a whim, but now it seemed that Ma Yunteng was actually looking for a large company.
"Well, we won't do anything else this morning, just acquisitions." Ma Yunteng smiled slightly.
"Sir, we have quite a few large companies in our island nation, especially the Mitsui Group. Each of them ranks among the top ten in the country. If you really want to acquire a large company, I suggest you buy shares directly from the Mitsui Group," the driver advised Ma Yunteng while driving.
Anyone from an island nation knows that their country's largest conglomerate is the Mitsui Group, and the companies controlled by the Mitsui Group are all ranked in the top ten. The Mitsui Group is very wealthy and powerful, and they do not easily invest in ordinary companies.
The driver now clearly understands that Ma Yunteng is a wealthy Chinese man, and an extremely wealthy one at that. He even acquired the Rimin Group. How could someone like that have little money?
"Oh? It seems you know a lot about the Mitsui Group? Tell me more." Ma Yunteng called and asked. His purpose in coming to Japan was to take revenge on the Mitsui Group, so it would definitely be beneficial to know more about them.
"The Mitsui Group is a real conglomerate in our island nation. The top ten of the top twenty companies in our island nation are controlled by the Mitsui Group. Moreover, the Mitsui Group has invested in many companies overseas. Some people say that the Mitsui Group controls at least two trillion US dollars in liquid funds!" the taxi driver said exaggeratedly.
"That's amazing!"
"That's not all. Actually, these are all about money. What's truly terrifying about the Mitsui Group isn't just its wealth." At this point, the driver rolled up the car window and didn't dare say anything more.
"What is that?" Ma Yunteng asked, his eyes lighting up. He had always felt that the Mitsui Group was definitely not simple. How could a group that could control so many large companies be just rich? Without other forces supporting it, no matter how much money the Mitsui Group had, it would be divided up by various forces.
"Hehe, don't laugh at me, but even if you give me a lot more money today, I can't tell you this news... I don't want to make money but not have the life to spend it!" the driver said with a rather apprehensive expression.
Hearing the driver say this, Ma Yunteng thought to himself that it was best to be careful with the Mitsui Group, otherwise he might even be caught off guard and suffer a setback. The driver's wary expression showed just how formidable the other party was.
"Hmm... just how terrifying is it?" Ma Yunteng said casually.
"Sir, since you gave me tens of thousands of US dollars, I'll give you one more piece of advice!" The driver slowly slowed the taxi down: "In Japan, you can mess with anyone, but you absolutely cannot mess with the Mitsui Group, or you'll be playing with fire. Alright, sir, we've arrived at the White House Hotel. This is the largest five-star hotel controlled by the Mitsui Group. You can give it a try!"
"Oh, okay!" Ma Yunteng laughed and immediately got out of the taxi with Li Xiyue.
Ma Yunteng glanced at the hotel in front of him and saw countless helicopters on the top floor. He quickly concluded that the driver was definitely not lying; this must be a high-end hotel offering luxurious services, otherwise it wouldn't have a private airport.
"Please call your boss over, I want this hotel." After entering the hotel, Ma Yunteng took out his black gold card and showed it to the lobby manager in front of him. There was no need for them to compare it with him. He was just going to buy it directly.
"Sir, is this a black card?" The lobby manager rubbed his glasses and asked incredulously. As a lobby manager, he knew that the minimum limit for a black card was over 10 billion US dollars.
"Yes, it's a black gold card. Go and call your boss out. I want this hotel." Ma Yunteng chuckled.
"Okay! Please wait a moment!" The lobby manager quickly ran towards the boss's office.
Five minutes later, the hotel owner came out. She was also a female owner, but not as sensible and beautiful as the owner of Rimin Group. Her name was Hei Er Yimu. She glanced at Ma Yunteng and asked, "Hello, I heard you want to buy my hotel?"
“That’s right, I bought it. Now, how much?” Ma Yunteng said calmly, while showing off the black gold card in his hand.
“I own more than a dozen Whitewood hotels across the country. I wonder if you want to buy one or invest in it?” Kuroki knew what this black gold card represented; it would be enough to buy all of her hotels.
“Of course I bought them all.” Ma Yunteng smiled slightly.
“I’m sorry, I only own five percent of the shares. The other fifty percent are with the Mitsui Group. If you really want to buy it, I can call someone from the Mitsui Group over for you. What do you think?” Kuroki Ichiji said earnestly.
Hearing this, Ma Yunteng was slightly taken aback. He wanted to take revenge on the Mitsui Group and did not want to alarm them now. So he said, "Then forget it. I'll just buy 50% of your shares first. Name your price. Money is no object."
“Three billion US dollars, that’s the minimum price,” Kuroki Ichiji said, though she had actually raised the price by about ten percent.
“Oh, I’ll give you four billion.” Ma Yunteng smiled slightly: “If that’s alright, let’s sign the contract now.”
What?
Four billion?
You want 3 billion? Give me 4 billion!
Kuroki was stunned for a moment. She immediately realized that Ma Yunteng was definitely a very wealthy Chinese businessman. She rolled her eyes, but pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, my hotel is now the best hotel in the country. You can make a profit if you buy it!"
"Making money? Are you insulting me? I hate making money more than anything!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly, took the contract handed to him by one of his secretaries, and quickly signed his name. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a separate, possibly promotional, entry.)

Chapter 397 Only Smash 60%
After buying the White Wooden House Hotel, Ma Yunteng had his driver take him to acquire other large companies. For the entire morning, Ma Yunteng did nothing but take Li Xiyue around acquiring large companies. By nearly noon, Ma Yunteng had acquired all ten of the top companies under the Mitsui Group.
Although these acquisitions cannot be considered true acquisitions, Ma Yunteng now owns more than 60 percent of the shares in each of these companies.
He is now the de facto majority shareholder of these companies.
At this time, Ma Yunteng summoned all the company's top executives to Rimin Group, and also temporarily hired dozens of large excavators.
