Chapter 5

Thinking about this, Jifeng chatted with a few friends while pondering the matter.

The first thing to solve was still the issue of a legal team, and it had to be an international one to help him reclaim these islands. However, things had to be prioritized; if he were to throw out the treaties for all five islands at once, he probably wouldn't be able to reclaim any from the five countries involved.

After some thought, Jifeng decided to reclaim Jeju Island first. At least the economy there was relatively stable, the scenery and air were nice, and it had its own self-sustaining capabilities. If he could successfully reclaim it, there would be a large amount of fertile land and pastures, which would be very suitable for his rural ideals.

As for the existing population of several hundred thousand, Jifeng didn't plan to keep them all. Those who should be withdrawn should be withdrawn. This place would be his private territory in the future, and anyone who wanted to stay on his land would have to listen to him. Otherwise, they could go wherever they wanted; he didn't need them.

However, for such a large territory, basic administrative and self-defense capabilities were still necessary. But all of this was too early to consider now. He had to wait until the islands were almost reclaimed before thinking about it. The primary task at hand was to reclaim the islands and stop providing blood to South Korea. All that money should be his.

Hiring an international legal team would be quite expensive. With his current savings of over 300,000, it probably wouldn't even cover a fraction of the cost. Moreover, Jifeng could almost imagine that reclaiming any of the islands wouldn't be easy, taking at least one to two years, and possibly even longer.

Actually, the main reason for wanting to reclaim Jeju Island was its proximity to his own country, making it convenient for travel. None of the five islands were easy to reclaim, so it didn't matter which one he started with. He needed to create a breakthrough and establish a standard procedure to make it easier to reclaim the other four in the future.

Thinking about raising the money, and a substantial amount at that, Jifeng had to consider the Shenlong Space. Relying on himself to create such wealth would be impossible in a few years. Thinking about the bottles and jars he saw at the market, Jifeng suddenly had a feasible idea.

"Damn, you're still alive? I've been looking for you for half a month. Is it just a broken heart? Do you really have to act like you're dying? If you want a certain type of woman, just say so, and I'll help you find her." The dorm leader, Leng Wqing, suddenly appeared and said.

Lighting another cigarette, which he hadn't had for over half a month, Jifeng really missed it. "Brother, the heartbreak is real, but I'm not that desperate. I got drunk that night and my phone was stolen. Sorry, where are you?"

"I'm in New York. Why don't you come over and clear your head? I've only been here for a week, and I probably won't be back for half a year. I'm really feeling a bit lonely."

"Are you kidding? You, the Casanova of our dorm, feeling lonely? How can you lack women?"

"Ah, the women here are really hard to get. It's better back home. I almost go to a bar every night and can pick up several. Damn, I've been here for a week and only picked up one. The cultural differences are significant."

"Be content. You've already had a taste of American women. I just got my heart broken."

"Exactly, come over quickly, and we'll go pick up some American women together."

After chatting with the dorm leader for a while and seeing that he was really feeling better, Leng Wqing finally felt reassured and started talking about his business in New York.

It turned out that the Leng Group had a major project in New York, and Leng Wqing was sent there to gain experience, responsible for nearly $500 million in investments. Leng Wqing was quite capable and was the first among the brothers to reach such a high position, earning high praise from his aunt, who was a senior in the Leng Group.

At 10:30, the second and fourth brothers, Lin Enliang and Mu Chuixue, also came online. After a round of banter, they all logged off.

Before logging off, Jifeng remembered he needed to find a legal team and quickly messaged Leng Wqing. "Brother, when you have time in New York, help me find the best law firm in the world. I plan to hire a legal team to help me with a lawsuit in South Korea."

"Damn, Third Brother, you're really something. You're taking the lawsuit to a foreign country. What's going on with the Koreans? If there's anything we can help with, just say so. There's no need to pay lawyers; our company's legal department should be enough."

"It's a family matter, you'll know when the time comes. Your company's legal team might not be up to it. Help me find a pure American legal team and introduce me to a famous one. Have them come to China for a face-to-face meeting when they have time. I can't really talk about it now."

"Alright, American lawyers are expensive. If you're short on money, just say so. I can support you with a few million dollars."

"Thanks, but I'll raise the money. By the way, while you're at it, help me find an auction house. I have an ancestral Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain that I plan to sell to cover the legal fees."

"Damn, why didn't you tell me about this treasure before? Don't auction it. I have an elder back home who wants to buy a genuine Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. Have him come over and check it out. If it's genuine, he'll buy it at market price."

"Don't worry, it's genuine. If it's a fake, I'll smash it on the spot. Have him come over in a week. I'll go back to my hometown to get it."

After setting up the legal team and the Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, Jifeng logged off. It wasn't that he was sleepy; after practicing the Body Strengthening Technique, he only needed four to five hours of sleep a day. It was daytime in New York, and Leng Wqing was still working. He had already spent the whole morning chatting with him, possibly delaying his work.

He smoked another cigarette and checked the price of Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain online. His worries instantly vanished. In 2005, a "Gui Gu Xia Shan" piece sold for 280 million yuan. He could probably get even more for one he found at the market. Even if it was the same price, it would be enough for the short-term legal fees.

Moreover, if he won the lawsuit, he wouldn't have to pay the legal fees himself. He would definitely throw this huge burden onto the South Korean government. Even if he had the money, it would be better to use it to develop his ranch.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do outside, Jifeng returned to the space. He practiced the Body Strengthening Technique for a few hours before heading to the market.

To be honest, the name "Body Strengthening Technique" didn't seem right to Jifeng. It was purely like a supernatural ability from a web novel, and a very powerful one at that. But since his great-grandfather called it the Body Strengthening Technique, he would keep the name. PS: New book, please follow and recommend!
