The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 37 - All In.

As the two people ate the five people lamented on their lives. They calmed down and took out their phones. Immediately calling their secretaries to gather the information of the people they have hurt or ruined by the evening. The secretaries were shocked but then acted quickly and got to work. They saw Yang Dao eating food with a content expression on his face. Khal Goldberg spoke, "How long has it been since we have actually enjoyed a meal?"

The others nodded with sighs escaping their mouths, Leo Dim spoke, "I am so paranoid that I suspect my cook will poison me so I have started to cook by myself." the others shook their heads in lamentation but did not say anything. Feng Yun had spotted them by this time and she removed the barrier. She spoke to the serving staff at the side, "Get them the menu."

The staff did not dare to delay, they quickly served the bosses a menu card. A slim man shook his head and said directly, "I will just have the noodles Young Master Feng is having." The others also nodded, ordering the same thing. The person who took the initiative was called Terrence Bay, partner, and co-founder of Bay-Mach engineering. Beside him sat a chubby man, Cobalt Mach, the expert investor. Terrence Bay was a genius who designed a nuclear vehicle concept. His best work was a hybrid car that could move sideways and was driverless. He designed cars, bikes, planes, and even space shuttle.

They made everything from civilian to military automobiles. While Terrence raked money in engineering, Cobalt put all that money into investments. They were money printing machines. A famous magazine once quoted that Bay-Mach Engineering makes money faster than the national mint (money printing). They started from scratch even though they both belonged to prominent merchant families, they created an empire of their own. Today their motive was to meet the person who dethroned them from the first rank in the business. 

After these guys were done eating. Yang Dao and Feng Yun came back to the common table. Yang Dao asked with a smile, "Hope you enjoyed the meal."

Ian Fahrenheit, chairman of Fahrenheit Infratech, second-biggest civilian contractors, the made highways, express corridors, landscapes, skyscrapers. Their best work, Sky Tower, 50 meters smaller than Ruby Tower. This man spoke, "To be honest and true to you and ourselves. This is the first meal we have actually enjoyed in many years. You have our gratitude, Young Master Yang Dao."

Yang Dao waved his hand and said, "I am not proficient in business negotiations. So I will give it to you straight. I want Crypto Nation to regret their arrogance. You people have already achieved what you can in the Jewel Nation. There is no point in sticking to what you are doing now."

Leo Dim spoke up, "Indeed, the money cycle is just circulating and we don't have any major changes in the flow in the past five years." his tone was serious. They were all in for business now.

Cobalt Mach spoke, "True, the tech is also rising but it is slower than it was in the past. Now all the young blood graduates and go out in the world to seek experience. Once they realize the living standards there are better than in our nation, they don't come back." his expression was solemn.

Yang Dao glanced at Feng Yun, who caught the queue and said, "We have a business plan. That will bring us the edge over the crypto nation." her cold voice woke up all the people in the cafeteria.

Khal Goldberg spoke, "As long as it is something in our capabilities we will agree."

Feng Yun patted Yang Dao on his shoulder and spoke, "My brother came up with this plan. And don't judge him by his age, he is the national topper this year with full marks. He will show you something now."

Yang Dao shook his head at her words but still took out a piece of paper from the pocket and placed it on the table. He spoke, "To conquer the enemy, one must know the enemy. Once you know the enemy, you will be able to find out his weakness and strengths."

Terrence Bay picked up the paper and his soul almost left his body. He muttered, "Atomic Fusion..." his voice was low yet his words were heard by all the big shots. They may not be engineers but they knew the significance behind these two words. They all glanced at Yang Dao, who god knows when stood up. The boy spoke, "The higher metabolism a body has the more food it needs. So if Crypto nation is a body and Tech is the metabolism, Power supply becomes the food. Simple enough to understand I guess?"

  While the bosses nodded in a daze. Feng Yun almost could not hold in her laughter. She was amused how Young Master Yang Dao can find analogies related to food almost every time. Yang Dao spoke, "You all are old players, so have you figured out the weaknesses of Crypto Nation?"

The bosses nodded, but Cobalt Mach asked, "Young Master Feng, this idea is good but it will need the support of the government. It will be a long process."

Yang Dao shook his head and walked up to a window on the side. He spoke while his gaze rested outside, "It is up to us to make the government agree to this proposal. To keep something like atomic tech research confidential we need tight security. The military will be strengthened first. Our companies will collaborate on this. I guess Mr. Bay has a lot of ideas in this field which if shared and explored can bear a good result."

Terrence Bay was shocked to see Yang Dao figuring out such a point and then when he imagined the big amount of engineers in the Phoenix group and the research facilities. He became excited, without even looking at Cobalt Mach, he agreed to it with a nod. Inside Yang Dao's mind, a countdown started, 1 down 4 to go.

Yang Dao kept on speaking, "The research facility for the Atomic Research will be left to Mr. Fahrenheit. We will collaborate on this as well. I guess it will be ready within 2 years? The benefits and prestige will be huge."

Ian Fahrenheit knew what it meant for him to design such a facility along with the Phoenix group. He also nodded easily and said, "I will personally set-up a team and will make sure that the purpose of this construction is not leaked by them."

Yang Dao nodded and spoke, "Mr. Mach, you are an investment visionary and so is Mr. Dim. I guess you can figure out that the most important job of extracting funds from the market without causing any big ripples is left to you. I think later when the Crypto nation observers find out where the fund was going to. They will surely drown in shame."

The two money monopolizers were indeed happy after hearing this and assured Yang Dao not to worry as they will get this down. Feng Yun also spoke that her team of traders will help them as well. They reached a co-operation. Now only Khal Goldberg was left. Yang Dao spoke, "Mr. Goldberg, I have read that your company deals in everything. Just like our Phoenix group?"

Khal Goldberg nodded in answer. Yang Dao continued, "Then, supplies and procurement of raw materials for everything fall onto you and us. How about it? Would you like to make an alliance and conquer the Crypto nation?"

Khal Goldberg was stunned for a second and then he spoke, "How do we conquer them?" he was confused about this.
