Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2372 - 1787: The Distinguished Guest Has Arrived

Out of the four business owners—Filas, Laimu, Luka, and Kars—Mr. Luka runs the tiniest operation. Across the whole industrial park, his assets cover merely two levels in a five-floor building, boasting fewer than 200 staff in total.

Still, Mr. Luka’s firm catches Bai Xiaosheng’s eye the most, since it zeroes in entirely on "technology".

From car engines onward, they refine and upgrade designs across twelve categories encompassing thirty-two kinds of mechanical and electronic goods.

That said, handling such trade-secret-heavy work proves tough, as big brands rely on their in-house tech crews and guard core data and blueprints tightly. Local regulations bar Luka’s group from reverse-engineering, forcing them to scrape by on minor gigs.

Surprisingly, Luka excels at managing his crew, with barely any of his over 100 tech experts jumping ship.

Bai Xiaosheng secretly marveled at this skill.

"Luka, aren’t you facing some business woes right now? We’ve been buddies for years, and I’ve long wanted to lend a hand. You know I value your staff highly—feel free to bring them to my outfit anytime. I’ll treat you like a partner, no layoffs here, and they can keep their shares as before. What do you say?" While touring, Mr. Filas drew Luka aside and murmured this.

Their chat flowed in the local dialect, of course.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t follow that tongue, so they tuned it out.

Bai Xiaosheng caught every single word.

"Give me time to mull it over; I’ve got to chat with my crew first." Luka shot back.

All sharing the same park, just a short hop apart, Luka even serves Filas as a client—years of dealings have left them knowing each other well.

Luka’s trade has slowed here, while Filas hunts outside funding; neither thrives much. Should Luka’s team join up, it’d be like huddling for warmth, banking on Filas swallowing the whole squad—little shift from today’s setup.

Big firms have quietly approached Luka too, keen to snag his tech crew but demanding cuts of at least half the staff.

That’s why Luka’s turned them down flat.

"Those Huaxia folks are right there—save this talk for later!" Laimu grumbled under his breath.

Kars felt the exact same way.

Filas peeked over, spotting Bai Xiaosheng locked in on watching Luka’s team hustle, seemingly oblivious to their exchange, then he smirked softly and sealed his lips. "No big deal—they don’t get our lingo anyway."

For all his words, Filas dropped the subject right after.

Yet Bai Xiaosheng had snagged the intel he sought, plus he’d eyed Luka’s reactions amid his talk with Filas.

Bai Xiaosheng saw Luka wasn’t truly against a buyout, likely just waiting for a powerhouse to take them on fully.

Judging from Luka’s sincere looks at his crew, Bai Xiaosheng figured he dreaded any post-takeover firings—something those outside giants, hungry for tech talent, wouldn’t stomach.

"I’ve seen enough around here; reckon we can call it done." With his goals met, Bai Xiaosheng grinned at Luka and said.

The mild-mannered Mr. Luka smiled back at Bai Xiaosheng. "You’ve traveled far—why not drop by my office for tea and unwind?"

He led the pack as the first to offer Bai Xiaosheng such a welcome.

Filas and Laimu wore looks screaming "really?"

This whole tour had them brushing off the young Huaxia deal-maker more and more, convinced cooperation was a long shot.

"Thanks, Mr. Luka, but we’re good on energy right now. Road delays cost us time, so let’s stick to the deals first." Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Luka in response.

Mr. Luka nodded along without pushing.

This gesture won Luka points with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Done with Luka, Bai Xiaosheng shifted his eyes to the final boss of the quartet—Kars.

"Mr. Kars, ready for us to check out your setup now?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired.

"No need for that!" Kars half-grinned, drawling lazily, "I deal in energy pulling and hauling over there. Doubt it’d thrill you much. Plus, we aim high for partners—big players with real muscle. Midsize or small fry wasting time? Pointless."

Kars flat-out denied Bai Xiaosheng’s visit ask, lacing his retort with mockery.

He stood in direct opposition to Luka, displaying the iciest demeanor and openly revealing his contempt.

This attitude prompted Lin Weiwei to furrow her brows behind Bai Xiaosheng, while Lei Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, betraying a trace of irritation.

Filas and Laimu faintly displayed schadenfreude.

Luka deemed this guest treatment overly harsh and hastily interjected, "Kars, we’ve waited quite some time for this guest—shouldn’t we let them take a look!"

"If you truly wish to see it, then proceed." Kars responded with lazy indifference.

Bai Xiaosheng abruptly grinned, casually remarking, "I reckon we can forgo it, given Mr. Kars’s apparent disinterest anyway."
