Li Cheng looked at Zhou Yan and said, "You are Zhou Yan. It's our first meeting, and you are truly a young and promising fellow."
Although Zhou Yan disliked this guy and wanted revenge, he wouldn't act overtly. He had plenty of time.
"Yes, I am Zhou Yan. I have long heard of your great reputation, Mr. Li Cheng." Zhou Yan wondered how to make this old man cough up some interest first.
Zhou Yan quickly came up with an idea and said, "We are discussing a business deal. Are you interested?"
"Of course. I am in business myself. If there's any profitable venture, I will certainly pursue it," Li Cheng replied.
"It's like this: I have a list of materials here that I think you will find very interesting. Would you like to see it? Everyone present has already seen it and completed a transaction with me," Zhou Yan inquired.
Inwardly, he had already implanted a virus into the document. This thing was no simple matter, and the other party would never detect it, especially since it wasn't a virus from this planet and couldn't be traced.
The key was that this virus was controllable. Jin Sanyi had purchased it for ten billion spirit coins in a technological world.
"Certainly, send it to me and I'll take a look," Li Cheng indeed became interested and gave Zhou Yan an email address. Zhou Yan then sent the information.
Li Cheng's antivirus software couldn't detect any issues. He opened the email and curiously began to review it.
Li Cheng read through it briefly, and his expression changed, showing great shock. He asked, "Are all these what you want?"
"So, are you interested in trading with me?" Zhou Yan said.
"Naturally, and very interested. We can transact immediately. It's worth about two hundred trillion. Can you handle it?" Li Cheng asked Zhou Yan.
"A mere two hundred trillion? Of course, that's no problem," Zhou Yan replied.
"Alright, give me a few minutes." Li Cheng picked up his phone and began to dial his company.
Unbeknownst to him, the call Li Cheng made had already been infiltrated by Zhou Yan. Through this phone, Zhou Yan directly accessed Li Cheng's company and began to control it.
However, to weave a larger net, Zhou Yan didn't act immediately but slowly infiltrated all the businesses controlled by Li Cheng.
Normally, Zhou Yan wouldn't resort to such methods, but for enemies, there was no need for politeness.
Ten minutes later, Li Cheng asked Zhou Yan to add someone's territory as a friend. Then, both parties began their transactions. After checking the other party's resources, Zhou Yan completed the trade.
Seeing the transaction complete, Li Cheng was overjoyed. Such a massive order had been so easily fulfilled, making him extremely happy. He then said, "Give me a month, and I can provide you with an order worth over twenty trillion in wealth. However, I will need a prepayment of five hundred trillion spirit coins. Can you afford it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately had a brilliant idea and replied, "Twenty trillion, that's indeed a substantial order. However, I believe we need to sign an agreement, and it must have legal effect."
"As long as you can provide such a large sum of funds, I certainly won't object," Li Cheng genuinely wanted to make a massive profit.
And Zhou Yan wanted to make Li Cheng lose everything.
Both with their own agendas, they looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Yan naturally asked Ye Wentian to help call a lawyer, and Li Cheng also called his lawyer. Both sides stated their requirements and began to draft the terms of their transaction.
Su Fang explicitly stated his sole demand: if the other party could not provide items of equivalent value as required, they must pay ten times the amount as liquidated damages.
With a five-hundred-trillion deposit, the compensation would be a staggering fifty trillion.
For Li Cheng, this would be a disastrous setback.
And Zhou Yan would take away everything Li Cheng possessed. This was the price he would have to pay.
The agreement was witnessed by everyone present, serving as human evidence.
It would be impossible for Li Cheng to breach the contract, and he had never intended to do so. However, Zhou Yan would not allow him to successfully complete the transaction with him.
The trap had been set, and it was Zhou Yan's spur-of-the-moment plan. Now, all that remained was to wait for the net to be cast.
After the contract was signed, they looked at each other and smiled.
This exchange meeting also concluded.
The next day, Zhou Yan arrived as scheduled and was invited to a hotel for a meal. Those present were all individuals with fortunes in the tens of trillions, leading to an astronomically priced banquet.
At this banquet, Zhou Yan traded tens of trillions worth of goods with these individuals, gaining widespread fame throughout the business world. More and more people wanted to transact with Zhou Yan, and the news of the "Godly Tycoon Lord" Zhou Yan spread within this circle.
After leaving Xiangcheng, Zhou Yan returned to Ziwei Academy. On one hand, he continued to develop his territory. On the other, he manipulated the virus to hack into various industries within Li Cheng's businesses.
He also obtained a lot of information about Li Cheng, including his connections with the Sunnever-sets Country.
"So many of these are this guy's assets. This makes things easier," Zhou Yan immediately took action after acquiring much information about Li Cheng.
First, he began to eliminate the forces on Li Cheng's lord continent. He first modified his own territory, changing its entire appearance to a dark color.
Then, Zhou Yan initiated a territory transfer.
He arrived at a material production site under Li Corporation. This area was rich in resources, with Li Corporation personnel within hundreds of millions of kilometers.
Li Corporation had set up formations here, making it impossible for other lords to teleport to this location. But now, it was different. Zhou Yan had deliberately teleported here.
Zhou Yan's territory broke through the formations set up by Li Corporation. The entire territory descended upon this area, hovering in the sky like a dark domain.
Countless reconnaissance aircraft flew out from Zhou Yan's territory, beginning to survey the area.
Li Corporation's personnel immediately discovered Zhou Yan's invasion and dispatched numerous powerful individuals to investigate.
However, before they could get close, they were eliminated in the air by defensive towers.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Quickly dispatch troops to attack!"
"Quickly send the strongest troops!"
"Eliminate this invader! Don't let him damage the resources here!"
Li Corporation sent countless troops to attack Zhou Yan's territory. These were all flying troops, as Zhou Yan's territory was in the air, and only such troops could deal with it.
After this area was clearly scouted by Zhou Yan, the defensive towers began to bombard the region.
The troops dispatched by them were engulfed by terrifying energy shortly after their deployment.
Zhou Yan's territory's defensive towers began to bombard this area, launching a destructive assault, destroying enemy territories and eliminating groups of enemies.
Subsequently, soldiers were dispatched to clear the area, to take away everything here, and to annihilate all enemies.
