Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback.
A sole proprietorship company, as the name suggests, means that it only bears limited liability. Once the company goes bankrupt, the responsibility is limited to the capital contribution made when the company was established.
Although the taxes paid would be higher, it was safer compared to a sole proprietorship. In a sole proprietorship, if any problems arise, unlimited joint liability is pursued.
Lin Xiao Tian's current enemy was Cao Yun Tian, and next was the Jiang Group. Choosing a sole proprietorship company would clearly allow for both offense and defense.
"Good! Then I'll leave this matter to you. You can find me when I need to sign anything."
"How much do you want to contribute as capital?" Wei Long asked.
"The legal requirement for the minimum capital of a sole proprietorship is at least one yuan," Wei Long added.
Lin Xiao Tian always prepared for the worst. Since he decided to start a company, he wanted to minimize the risks as much as possible.
"Then, one yuan it is!"
"Really, one yuan?" Wei Long chuckled.
"Yes, just one yuan."
They chatted for a while longer, and soon, the car arrived at the designated location.
Before them stood a majestic tall building, with four striking characters written on it.
"Haitian Hotel!"
This was where Fang Wen Hua was holding the party.
Fang Wen Hua had said he had something important to announce. What could it be?
The car drove a bit further, and then Wei Long asked Lin Xiao Tian to get out, while he went to find a parking space.
Lin Xiao Tian looked around and noticed that almost all the cars entering and exiting the Haitian Hotel were luxury vehicles, costing at least eight or nine hundred thousand yuan.
While Lin Xiao Tian was waiting for the car, a familiar figure appeared before him.
"Hey! We meet again."
Lin Xiao Tian looked ahead and saw Jessica, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, standing before him.
Jessica was wearing a white evening gown that exposed her smooth collarbone and back. Coupled with her tall figure, she instantly drew the gaze of every male present.
"Hello," Lin Xiao Tian said with a slight smile.
"Oh! You're so cold. We were chatting so harmoniously last time," Jessica pouted.
"How am I being cold?" Lin Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had just said, and his expression was perfectly normal.
"You should be surprised! You see, the moment I saw you, I ran over right away!"
Lin Xiao Tian was stunned.
So that was the reason?
"Alright! Then... what a coincidence, meeting you here." Lin Xiao Tian said.
"Hmph! Not sincere at all," Jessica snorted.
Just then, Wei Long arrived.
Upon seeing Jessica next to Lin Xiao Tian, Wei Long cast a meaningful glance at Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian ignored his gaze and called him to get ready to go in together.
"Let's go! I'll lead the way for you."
Jessica said, and then she darted ahead of Lin Xiao Tian.
Admittedly, even just her back view, Jessica's figure was impeccable. Coupled with her swaying gait, even Lin Xiao Tian felt a moment of daze.
Just as they were about to enter, a discordant voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hey, beautiful Jessica, we meet again."
Hearing someone call her beautiful, Jessica was initially quite happy, but when she saw who it was, her face immediately fell.
"Alas! Why the unhappy look? Have you encountered any troubles?" Jiang Li swaggered over and stood beside Jessica.
Jessica ignored him.
Ever since the auction last time, when Jiang Li had injured her father and even made indecent advances towards her in public, Jessica had come to hate Jiang Li.
If her father hadn't repeatedly warned her to be careful of Jiang Li's backing, she would have retorted then and there.
But Jiang Li seemed oblivious and continued to try to get close to Jessica.
"Let's go in together, beautiful."
Jessica didn't reply but turned to Lin Xiao Tian behind her and said:
"Let's go!"
Lin Xiao Tian smiled slightly and followed.
But before he could take a few steps, Jiang Li blocked his path.
"Who are you? What's your relationship with Jessica?"
"Young Master Jiang, he's my friend. Can you please let us pass?" Jessica was clearly displeased.
"Friend?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao Tian a few more times.
"What kind of friend?"
"This is my personal matter, and it doesn't seem to concern Young Master Jiang, does it?"
"Aren't I concerned about you?"
"Then thank you very much."
Jessica said, and then she surprisingly hooked Lin Xiao Tian's arm.
And then, in full view of everyone, the two walked through the entrance together.
Jiang Li, who was behind them, was dumbfounded.
After the two left, Jiang Li called over someone beside him.
"Young Master Jiang, that person is called Lin Xiao Tian, and he's a confidant of Fang Wen Hua." This person was the one who had taken Jiang Li out during the auction and was quite skilled.
His status was equivalent to Xu Xiao's status in the Fang Corporation, a right-hand man of the Jiang family.
Then, he whispered a few words into Jiang Li's ear.
Jiang Li was taken aback.
"No way? That fool?"
Looking at Lin Xiao Tian's retreating figure, Jiang Li's expression became playful.
Top floor of Haitian Hotel.
Under Fang Wen Hua's invitation, almost all the prominent figures in Jiang City had come.
Lin Xiao Tian saw Lin Li Wen had also come. This was the first time Lin Xiao Tian had seen Lin Li Wen in a public setting.
At this moment, Fang Wen Hua's voice boomed from the stage.
"I am very grateful to everyone for giving me face and attending this party despite your busy schedules."
"Actually, the main purpose of gathering everyone here today is to discuss the development of the new district."
As soon as Fang Wen Hua said this, the crowd erupted.
Jiang City's new district?
Shouldn't this matter be put out for government bidding?
Why hadn't they received any notification?
"I know you all must have many questions, but in reality, this new district development is not initiated by the government. Do you all remember the piece of land our Fang Group acquired at Beihai Bay a few years ago?"
"Previously, due to its status as a nature reserve, the development project was put on hold. But not long ago, we received government approval for land reclamation, which means this land can now be developed normally."
"The reason for calling everyone here today is to discuss the development of this land. Fang Group is willing to develop Beibu Bay together with all of you."
Thunderous applause erupted from below.
Developing Beibu Bay was a massive undertaking, and Beibu Bay was ideal for building a port. If it developed in the future, it would undoubtedly be a highly profitable endeavor.
However, Fang Wen Hua was a businessman. Since he was bringing this matter up, it was clear he wouldn't suffer any losses. They could at best get a small share of the profits.
The discerning individuals could see that Fang Wen Hua's move was essentially a risk transfer. After all, if one person developed Beibu Bay and failed, all the losses would be theirs alone. But with a group, it was different.
If they won, they would only be sharing a portion of the profits, and it would still be a guaranteed profit.
In a corner of the venue, Jiang Li looked at the charismatic Fang Wen Hua on stage with disdain in his eyes.
"Heh! What's he so proud of? In the end, the assets will still belong to the Lin family, and therefore to me?"
Although Fang Wen Hua's company was called Fang Group, in reality, most of its shares belonged to the Lin family. Jiang Li's words implied that he was confident he would inherit the Lin family's assets in the future.
The harder Fang Wen Hua worked now, the wealthier he believed he would be in the future.
"Finally, everyone, today I have another important piece of news to announce." Fang Wen Hua said, then looked at his wife, Lin Li Wen.
"Actually, my wife is already pregnant. The main reason for inviting everyone here today is to share my joy with all of you..."
The hall fell silent at these words.
What was going on?
Fang Wen Hua had an heir?
Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Li.
If Fang Wen Hua had a child, would Jiang Li still be the future heir of the Lin family?
