After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

The news spread faster than it could fly.

The news that Kunlun Capital had acquired the nearly abandoned Yunding Town project at a premium instantly ignited the entire financial circle of Hanzhou and even the whole country in less than half a day!

The industry was in an uproar!

All the investment institutions and real estate tycoons are frantically discussing this acquisition, which can be described as "suicidal".

"Are they crazy?! Is Kunlun Capital burning through its money? Taking over such a huge, unfinished project!"

"I heard that the Cloud Top Town project is struggling to attract businesses due to previous accidents and chaotic planning, and its daily operating costs are astronomical!"

"Jiang Ye usually seems decisive and ruthless, how could he make such a basic mistake this time?"

"Hey, what do you know! This is called 'raging for a beauty'! I heard Jiang Ye and that icy female CEO of Blue Ocean have a special relationship; he spent hundreds of billions to win her favor!"

"Turns out he's a sucker with hundreds of billions! What a fool for love! With this move, I think Kunlun Capital's reputation is going to be ruined!"

Various gossip tabloids, eager to stir up trouble, even fabricated a ridiculous story that Jiang Ye spent billions to buy a small town just to please Xia Yu and win her favor.

The outside world was filled with ridicule.

Even within Kunlun Capital, the situation was in an uproar.

……

Lei Heng, holding a thick document, paced back and forth in front of Jiang Ye's desk, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Boss! You really acted too impulsively this time!"

Lei Heng was sweating profusely and slammed the document in his hand onto the table.

"This is a risk assessment report produced overnight by the risk control and actuarial departments!"

Lei Heng pointed to the shocking deficit figures on the report, his voice trembling slightly.

"From a return on investment perspective, Genting Town is a complete disaster! There are too many bad debts from the early stages, and massive amounts of money will need to be poured into subsequent renovations and operations!"

"The key issue is that the project's business positioning is already unclear, making it very difficult to recoup the investment!"

Lei Heng earnestly advised him, his tone even carrying a hint of anxious reproach.

"Boss, I've worked for you for so many years, I know you value relationships. But business projects can't be mixed with personal feelings! It's not worth risking hundreds of billions for President Xia!"

Jiang Ye sat in the large boss's chair, quietly listening to Lei Heng's roar.

He didn't get angry; he simply picked up the thick evaluation report on the table, didn't even glance at it, and casually tossed it aside.

"Clatter".

The thick report landed precisely in the nearby trash can.

"Boss, you..." Lei Heng was stunned.

Jiang Ye slowly stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and put his hands in his suit trouser pockets.

He looked down at the bustling city of Hanzhou, his gaze becoming profound.

"Old Lei, are you just like those idiots outside, thinking I spent a fortune to take over this business to bail out Xia Yu?"

Jiang Ye sneered, his tone exuding an extremely arrogant and domineering aura.

"I have hundreds of billions in funds; do I lack profitable projects?"

"Even if I lose all those billions, I can just short a few stocks in the financial market and resell them to make it all back!"

Jiang Ye turned his head and looked at Lei Heng, his eyes burning with an almost obsessive fanaticism.

"Genting Town is definitely a mess."

"But the location of this land, and the natural resources surrounding it, are unique in the entire Jiangnan Province!"

"Xia Yu turned it into a commercial street full of the smell of money because she was short of money and she needed to bow to capital."

"But Jiang Ye, I don't need that!"

Jiang Ye stretched out his finger and tapped the table hard.

"I'm going to tear down and rebuild all these unfinished buildings here, no matter the cost!"

"I want to transform it into my dream 'Cloud Wasteland'!"

"I want to create an absolute utopia in this materialistic world, a place free from the stench of commercialism, where there's no need to be subservient to anyone, and where only souls resonate!"

Jiang Ye's words were resounding and thought-provoking.

That almost insane obsession and domineering aura instantly stunned Lei Heng, leaving him speechless for a long time.

Lei Heng swallowed hard.

He looked at the arrogant man in front of him.

He finally realized that the boss wasn't doing business this time.

He is using billions of dollars to fulfill the purest and most insane dream in his heart!

……

Just as Jiang Ye was making sweeping preparations to reshape Cloudtop Town.

Wang Sizhe, the eldest son of the Wang family in Yanjing, also came to Hanzhou.

Upon learning that Jiang Ye had taken over Yunding Town, Wang Sizhe was ecstatic.

He felt he had finally turned the tables!

That evening, the Hanju Chamber of Commerce hosted a high-profile business reception.

In the brightly lit banquet hall, elegantly dressed people mingled and the lights of the banquet shone brightly.

Jiang Ye stood alone in a quiet corner, holding a glass of red wine.

Suddenly, a burst of arrogant laughter rang out.

"Hahaha! Isn't this our famous 'billion-dollar sucker' President Jiang?"

Wang Sizhe, dressed in a flamboyant white haute couture suit and swirling a glass of champagne in his hand, swaggered over, surrounded by a group of bodyguards and sycophantic small business owners.

Wang Sizhe walked up to Jiang Ye, looked down at him, and his face was full of smug mockery.

"President Jiang, I used to really think of you as someone important. I never imagined you'd be such a womanizer, a sucker who's been dumped!"

Wang Sizhe deliberately raised his voice, attracting the attention of those around him.

"I heard you spent billions to buy that dilapidated town that was almost abandoned?"

Wang Sizhe leaned closer to Jiang Ye, lowered his voice smugly, and his tone was full of provocative implications.

"Oh my, what a coincidence!"

"Last time at the land auction, you deliberately inflated the price, swindling me out of 5 billion yuan, which made my father give me a severe scolding."

"Who knew fortunes would turn around like this!"

A malicious glint flashed in Wang Sizhe's eyes as he laughed arrogantly.

"Jiang Ye, let me tell you the truth."

"The reason Genting Town's funding chain broke this time was because I pulled some strings behind the scenes."

"I originally just wanted to force Xia Yu to comply and take over her business at a low price."

"I never expected you, you big bastard, to actually jump out and take over!"

"I've made up for that 5 billion dollar grudge with interest this time, and I'll get it all back from you! Hahaha!"

Hearing Wang Sizhe's reckless provocation...

Jiang Ye tightened his grip on the wine glass slightly.

His gaze instantly turned icy cold, as if he were looking at a lifeless corpse.

In Jiang Ye's mind, countless violent methods that could crush this clown in front of him flashed through his mind.

For example, they could have the bodyguards from the dark web come in and break his legs, or have a gangster like Zhou Lianqiang sink him into East Lake to feed the fish.

but.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the surging killing intent in his heart.

He quickly calculated in his mind.

The Wang family has deep roots in Yanjing, with intricate connections in both political and business circles.

If we act impulsively now and resort to violence or capital to confront them head-on, it will inevitably provoke a full-scale counterattack from the Wang family, and may even alarm higher-level forces, resulting in a lose-lose situation.

This is very detrimental to his plan to build the "Cloud Wilderness Realm".

A small leak will sink a great ship.

To kill a snake, you must strike its vital spot!

Moreover, it must be a fatal blow, leaving him no chance to recover!

Jiang Ye slowly loosened his clenched fingers.

He remained outwardly calm, even a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.

He raised his glass of red wine and gestured slightly towards Wang Sizhe.

Then, he tilted his head back and took a sip of red wine.

He did not utter a word.

Jiang Ye turned around directly and left the party with steady steps.

Watching Jiang Ye's retreating figure, which seemed to indicate he had given up, Wang Sizhe laughed even more wildly.

"I thought he was some tough guy, but he's just a coward!"
