Chapter: 6174
After entering the villa, Grandfather anxiously asked Ye Chengyun, "So, what's the situation in New York? Tell me all about it."
Ye Chengyun knew that Grandfather was extremely concerned about the situation in New York, especially those related to his nephew-in-law Chen Zhimin.
So he explained to Grandfather how he got entangled with Chen Zhimin after arriving in the US, how they collaborated and eventually killed him off together with the fourth Earl of Pure Qi, and so on.
Upon hearing that Chen Zhimin had already disappeared into thin air, even his ashes were cleaned up by the Rockefeller family, An Qi Shan couldn't help but sigh: "That scoundrel Chen Zhimin ruined my life, I couldn't bear to watch him die; it's really regrettable!"
Ye Chengyun asked, "Grandfather, how do you plan to tell your sister-in-law about this?"
An Qi Shan said, "Chen Zhimin was a big shot in New York. He vanished suddenly, and it won't be long before news spreads out. By then, my sister-in-law will probably figure out that he's definitely dead. As for the details, it's better not to tell her; everyone can just keep quiet about this person from now on."
As An Qi Shan finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "Chen Zhimin was alive, posing a huge threat to our family. He died, which is the best outcome for us. So we should just cut off any further connections after his death; my sister-in-law can probably understand this."
Ye Chengyun nodded lightly, agreeing with Grandfather's proposal, which was indeed the best solution.
Just then, An Qi Shan said, "Chestnut, I discussed this with your uncle and second uncle. In the future, we plan to gradually abandon the US market, except for our other companies' shares in the US; any assets that can be transferred back to China should be transferred. Those that cannot be transferred need to be handled somehow. I'd like to hear your opinion on these matters."
Ye Chengyun replied, "Grandfather, this is an An family matter. You and my uncle and second uncle decide what's best."
An Qi Shan shook his head and said, "Chestnut, I've already mentioned that all An family assets are 60% yours, so you need to agree on these matters first. In the future, you'll have the power to make major decisions for our family; we'll just report our opinions to you in the form of proposals. The final decision-making authority will still be yours."
Just then, Ye Chengyun smiled and said, "Grandfather, I've already mentioned that even if I get An family assets, I won't take them now. I need to settle my unfinished business first; before that, everything is still up to you all."
In reality, Ye Chengyun had never intended to take over An family assets.
Money was nothing more than a set of numbers to him - it had lost its meaning as a currency.
Initially, he had agreed to receive the assets from Grandfather because Grandfather was so insistent; if he could really get rid of the Break Clear Alliance in the future, he would rather hide away in the mountains than continue to manage these commercial territories.
An Qi Shan opened his mouth and said, "Chestnut, giving up on the US market means we need to find a suitable way to settle our assets that can't be brought back, whether by selling them off or managing them somehow. If not, those assets will gradually decline in value and eventually become worthless - this is something I'd like to hear your thoughts on."
Ye Chengyun knew Grandfather's intention.
Before things got out of hand with Chen Zhimin, An family businesses in the US were basically managed by him; now that he's dead, An family members can't go back to New York for a short time, and if there isn't someone reliable to manage these assets, they will inevitably shrink and decline.
Currently, An family members can't return, nor can he take over the management of their US businesses; what's more, the Break Clear Alliance is lurking in the background. No matter who takes over, it will draw attention from the alliance, so Ye Chengyun didn't know what to do for now.
However, one thing is certain - if An family assets are sold off, they will likely be discounted heavily.
What's more, An family doesn't lack money; they're not in a hurry to sell either. It's just that they don't want these assets to die on their own.
The best way is to find someone reliable and capable to manage An family's assets in the US, and Ye Chengyun thought of Felix Fei as his top choice.
However, upon closer consideration, he quickly passed on this idea because if Felix Fei took over An family's assets, Break Clear Alliance would definitely investigate Felix Fei's relationship with An family, which would give them a breakthrough point to find themselves.
Therefore, Ye Chengyun thought for a moment and then proposed, "Why not temporarily entrust the management of An family's assets in the US to the Rockefeller family? Let them help An family manage these assets first, and only return them when Break Clear Alliance's threat is eliminated!"
