After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

The merger of two esports companies meant that they had to reapply for tournament regulations.

The original competitions and their specific clauses were no longer effective for them, and much had to start anew.

Chen Yu was not afraid of the hassle, as he had already analyzed all the clauses of the esports industry before he came. All he needed was a lawyer and the relevant staff to sign a contract.

In less than half a day, everything settled.

After reorganizing the two companies, they managed to form nine teams in total.

Once all the procedures were completed, the nine teams dispersed to participate in local competitions.

Chen Yu handed over the management of all the teams to Hu Naichao, while he went on to oversee the ancillary aspects of the teams and games.

In the business of esports, what makes the most money isn't the competition itself, but the various peripherals that arise based on it.

As long as he could coordinate all these peripheral industries, the economic value they could generate was astronomical.

Using the financial strategies he had employed before, Chen Yu rapidly set up several companies, categorizing the potential peripheral industries he could think of. Then he drew a single line from Tong Group to form a company that would coordinate these categorized companies.

This business layout could be described as impeccably structured; even if something went wrong with the teams, it wouldn't affect the peripheral business.

In his spacious office, Chen Yu kept signing a variety of documents, occasionally glancing at the large screen beside him.

The huge screen was divided into nine sections, showing live matches of the nine teams he owned.

If five of these teams could qualify, he could take them to play in world-class leagues. By then, the periphery business and industry could be promoted abroad, and might even merge with other businesses.

"Honey! Have you been too busy lately? You don't even come home to visit?"

Tong Ya approached with a cup of coffee in hand.

Chen Yu leaned back in his chair and stretched.

"I used to think being a boss was easy, but I didn't expect it to be this exhausting, with not a moment's rest every day."

Tong Ya wrinkled her nose and popped a refreshing candy into Chen Yu's mouth.

"You've worked hard, my dear!"

Chen Yu pulled Tong Ya into his embrace, "How many of these nine teams do you think will qualify?"

Tong Ya wrapped her arms around Chen Yu's neck, "I'm not interested in that area, and I'm even less familiar with their rules of engagement. But if you really want me to guess, of course, I hope all nine teams qualify."

Chen Yu said nothing further, just gazed intently at the large screen. Before long, three teams overwhelmingly defeated their opponents, and the other six teams began to gain the upper hand.

"It looks like your guess might come true; all nine teams might actually qualify."

Tong Ya didn't concern herself too much with these matters and instead took out a file from her bag and laid it on the desk.

"The industry in Suzhou City has already formed a chain. Both industrial parks are complete, and they have also established connections with the capital."

Chen Yu glanced over the contents of the file briefly and then pushed it back.

"These items have basically formed a stable industry chain. You can manage them, while I need to develop other new areas."

As he was speaking, Chen Yu's phone suddenly rang.

He couldn't afford to stay any longer, quickly exchanged a few words with Tong Ya, and hastened away.

During his last passage through Kro's territory, Chen Yu's fleet had disturbed the local order.

Severe frictions occurred among the major powers, with significant internal conflicts.

Seizing the opportunity, Jin Lingsu reached out to her former contacts and quickly took control of the entire archipelago in the shortest time.

Now, all that was needed was a certification from Tong Group to legally acquire the island.

Chen Yu called Hu Naichao, instructing him to take full responsibility for the competitions in the coming half month, as he rushed nonstop to Kro Island.

The place, situated in the mid-ocean, had a highly advantageous geographical location. It was not only suitable for ports, but also for the growth of various tropical economic plants.

If developed properly, it could not only become a hub but possibly also a unique tourist paradise.

When Chen Yu arrived, Jin Lingsu had already taken care of everything; she even had the local residents start building a port.

"How does it look? Am I not very reliable when handling things?"

Chen Yu sighed helplessly. He had intended to acquire the islands in a very gentle manner, but Jin Lingsu had been so straightforward and forceful.

"I heard there's the world's tallest watchtower here; can you show it to me?"

Jin Lingsu immediately drove over in a touring car and took him straight to the watchtower.

The tower was originally constructed to overlook the entire archipelago.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unfortunately, due to substandard conditions on the island at the start, the materials used had been haphazard.

The walls were riddled with dense cracks, and at this rate, it would not last more than a few months without collapsing.

After inspecting the entire tower, Chen Yu immediately took out a design plan.

A strategic high point was essential on such a small island, to coordinate everything. In case of an incident, it would allow for immediate resolution.

Jin Lingsu was surprised by the blueprint; she had not expected Chen Yu to be proficient in architectural design as well.

Just then, several brawny men arrived at the base of the tower.

"Who's in charge here? Wasn't it agreed before that after we helped you take control of the island, you would allocate a piece of land on the island for us to farm? Why haven't you followed through yet?"

Chen Yu frowned, recognizing that these men were certainly the island's indigenous people, straightforward and probably generations of farmers by trade.

Jin Lingsu was somewhat embarrassed; she indeed had forgotten.

She had been fully committed to port and land development on the archipelago, neglecting to allocate the promised farmland.

But she was clueless about agriculture; had she been tasked with dividing the farmland, who knows what she would have ended up designating.

Chen Yu cleared his throat and unfolded a map of the archipelago.

"Apart from you, how many native farmers are there on the island?"

The brawny men quickly briefed him on the basic situation of the island.

After a brief analysis, Chen Yu led them to the largest island in the middle of the archipelago.

Surrounded by smaller islands, this spot had fresh water, and its central area featured a vast plain, highly suitable for the growth of crops.

Chen Yu took everyone there and started to plan the layout of the land immediately.

Unexpectedly, the farmers looked at him with eyes filled with terror.

"Sir, are you sure you are the one who decides this? Can this land really be given to us for farming?"
