Chapter 721 The Auston Family
The group, hearing Xu Yang's candid words, had even more respect for him.
They no longer had any thoughts of choosing someone else.
They decided that after returning to their country, they would develop the technology, license it to Xu Yang, and join the company he established.
The group talked for a while, discussing some future issues.
The two sides had a very candid communication, paving the way for their future collaboration.
Wang Xiaocong would chime in from time to time, mentioning that she was also a shareholder of the newly established company.
With Wang Xiaocong's involvement, the confidence of the group increased.
After all, Wang Xiaocong was the son of the wealthiest man, and although Xu Yang was also a billionaire, his rise had been so rapid that his foundation wasn't as deep as those of the old money tycoons.
With Wang Xiaocong's involvement, many things became simpler.
Although they were joining the R&D department, they still needed to pay attention to the company's affairs.
If the company's prospects were bleak, there would be nothing left to develop.
After eating, the group left.
Back at their accommodation, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong didn't leave right away.
Instead, they waited until Chen Ling and her group packed their luggage and were picked up by embassy staff before leaving with Wang Xiaocong.
In the car back to the hotel.
Wang Xiaocong said, "Xu Yang, do you really trust them that much? Without a single agreement, what if they go back on their word later? Do you really think you've done a good deed? You know, for this matter, you've transferred ten percent of the shares of Feichi Technology to Richard."
Xu Yang smiled faintly, "Besides trusting them, what can I do? I can't exactly ask them to sign a guarantee agreement now; that would only alienate them. If they really want to go back on their word once they're back in our country, then I can only consider it a good deed. As for Richard, transferring ten percent of the shares isn't a loss.
Although it's an exchange of interests, this matter has also helped us establish an initial friendship, which could prove useful at some point in the future."
Wang Xiaocong nodded, "It's good that you can think this way. I'm just worried that if you trust them and they back out, you might take it hard."
Xu Yang laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Having this technology is good, but it's not the end of the world if we don't. At most, we've lost out on a money-making company. With my vision, I'm not afraid of not finding profitable companies."
Wang Xiaocong nodded and didn't say anything more.
Just then, someone suddenly crossed the road in front of them, and the driver had to slam on the brakes. The person fell down right in front of their car.
"Damn, we're not so unlucky as to encounter a scammer even in this beautiful country, are we?"
Seeing what happened, Wang Xiaocong couldn't help but speculate.
It was no wonder he speculated as such; the person's actions were too much like a scammer's.
Just crossing the road like that, and then lying down right in front of the car once it stopped.
Xu Yang wasn't only guessing this much, but so was Wang Xiaocong.
However, whether it was a scam or not, they still needed to check on the person.
The two of them didn't plan on getting out themselves but sent Wang Xiaocong's bodyguard instead.

Since Wang Xiaocong didn't have martial skills, he always brought a bodyguard along when going out.
The bodyguard also served as the driver.
The driver was originally assigned by the hotel, but Wang Xiaocong directly refused.
The hotel didn't insist further, prioritizing the satisfaction of their guests above all.
If the guest doesn't want it, insisting on providing it will naturally not please the guest.
No hotel manager would do such a thing.
As for the lack of hotel staff following them, the hotel managers wouldn't worry about Wang Xiaocong driving the car off to sell it.
Wang Xiaocong is, after all, the son of China's richest man.
And Xu Yang became a billionaire in just over a year.

Neither of them were simple characters, they wouldn't do this sort of thing for a Bentley worth a million dollars.
For people like Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, not to mention a million dollars, even tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars couldn't make them do this sort of thing.
But before they could speak, suddenly a group of people burst out from the side.
Among them, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong recognized a few, namely Daniel and a few of his thugs.
There were also several others who looked like thugs.
Looking at Daniel's demeanor, it was him leading some thugs in action.
Daniel and his followers advanced to the front of the young man.
The thugs behind him surrounded the young man.
"Kid, you thought you could run? No chance of escaping now, huh?"
Daniel's face was filled with a cold smirk.
Tonight, he had planned to ambush the young man with his people, intending to take him out.
But the young man's bodyguards were formidable.
He had brought more than thirty fighters, and it took more than twenty of them just to contend with the young man's bodyguards.
The young man had fled alone, and Daniel had pursued with the few men he had left.
"Do you know who I am?" The young man, who had fallen to the ground, stood up, "How dare you treat me this way? You won't have a place to be buried after death, and your family will be destroyed. Don't doubt the truth in my words."
Daniel let out a sinister chuckle, "Those are the very words I used to tell others before. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It's useless telling me this now, I don't know who you are, but I'm sure you're someone important. Otherwise, your bodyguards wouldn't be so tough, needing over twenty fighters to handle them.
But no matter what, you're still falling into my hands, and in my clutches, you have only one way out—death."
The young man said, "You dare to kill me without knowing who I am. I can only say, you've really got guts. You will pay the price for your actions. You and your family will be completely erased from this world."
Upon hearing these words, Daniel was momentarily stunned.
He could tell that Kipling wasn't bluffing; it seemed like the truth.
That being said, Daniel was curious about whom he was talking about.
So he asked, "Alright then, tell me, who are you?"
The young man said, "I am Kipling, the heir of the Austen Family."
"The Austen Family?" Daniel frowned and thought back, but try as he might, he had never heard of the Austen Family. He could only shake his head, "I've never heard of the Austen Family. I don't know whether you're telling the truth or lying, but you're definitely going to die today."
Kipling himself was surprised that Daniel had never heard of the Austen Family, but then he let it go.
After all, his family was a hidden society in Europe, unobtrusive and out of the public eye.
Only the real big shots in the world knew of his family.
Although Daniel was the heir of the Louis Family, he was still far from the top echelons of the world's big shots.
"Our Austen Family is a hidden society in Europe, controlling the economic lifelines of over a dozen countries. If you kill me, wait for my family's people to come after you and obliterate your family," Kipling said.
"What, a hidden society in Europe?"
Daniel couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
What are the strongest groups in the world?
They are not these highly-ranked, powerful conglomerates, nor those world-renowned families.
Sure, these conglomerates and families have some strength, but they are far from the strongest.
The truly powerful ones are the hidden societies.
The actions of hidden societies can influence a country, or even a dozen of them, and some even have a global impact.
Daniel had also learned some information about hidden societies from his father.
