Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?
Chapter 420 Do you think I'm the king in the wishing well?
Watching the old man's back disappear from his sight, Xiao Chen sat down in the seat that had previously belonged to him.
He picked up the teacup and started drinking it. He drank three or four cups before he let out a sigh of relief. "Phew~ I'm so tired!"
Then he looked at Su Chen and said with admiration: "You are really brave. You even bargained with the old man and wanted to get those industries for free."
"As for the share issue, I'm just curious. The old man said that he would let you control the port yourself, so why did you later want to exchange those industries in Africa for your port shares? What were you thinking?"
Xiao Chen asked all the questions in his mind in one breath, but found that Su Chen was drinking tea calmly with a slight smile on his lips.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. He really had the urge to stand up and give Su Chen, the pretentious guy, a brain-smacking blow, and then loudly question him whether he was still pretending to be profound.
After all, it was just Xiao Chen's imagination. If it really happened to Su Chen, he dared to guarantee that Su Chen would complain to the old man in the next second.
From the conversation between Su Chen and the old man today, he also realized that Su Chen has made a lot of progress compared to before, especially in planning. It can be said that he is already a qualified flag bearer!
He spoke like an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another. If the old man hadn't pointed out Su Chen's little thoughts, he would not have known what Su Chen was up to.
Seeing the change in Xiao Chen's expression, Su Chen knew that it was almost time. If he continued pretending, who knew if this good brother would give him a hard time, not to mention that he would need his help with something later.
He put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "Do you think I really want those industries in Africa? With the influence of IPS Security Company in Africa, wouldn't it be easy to get some mines? As for those projects or industrial parks, wouldn't they be easy to get?"
"It just takes a little more time and money, but there is no trouble at all!"
Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this. The fact was just as Su Chen said. IPS Security Company had been working in Africa for so many years and could get all the resources. It just depended on whether they were willing to take them.
"Then why do you want to take over those industries in Africa and even give up shares of the port in exchange? Compared to those industries, aren't the port shares in your hands more popular?" Xiao Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
And he is feeling very depressed right now!
As one of the eldest sons of the imperial capital, he must have some brains, but now he just can't understand what Su Chen is planning. This feeling of frustration makes Xiao Chen feel a little unhappy.
But he had to admit that Su Chen was indeed a more thoughtful person than himself. He didn't know if it was due to his experience in dealing with those chaebol groups.
Su Chen smiled lightly, and the next second, his eyes became deep, "Those industries in Africa seem to be lucrative on the surface, but in fact, the waters are terribly deep, with forces from all sides intertwined, and you will fall into it if you are not careful."
"This time, domestic investment has been targeted by those chaebol groups. We must give them a heavy blow, otherwise the entire industrial layout of Africa will be affected."
"For me, no, for IPS, taking over these industries means at most a confrontation with the local warlords. IPS doesn't even need to intervene. As long as we support a force that is in conflict with the other party, we can teach them a terrible lesson!"
"The reason why I want to give out shares of the port is to form an exchange of interests!"
"Exchange of interests?" A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Chen's face. If he still didn't understand after talking about this point, then his status as a top young master would be in vain.
"Good boy, you want to tie those domestic enterprises to your huge port ship, and provide them with free talent and labor. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you are now an old fox."
"It seems that I have to be very careful when talking to you in the future. If you sell me out someday, I will probably still be counting money for you with a smile." Xiao Chen looked at Su Chen with a resentful look.
He clearly remembered that Su Chen had clearly stated in their previous conversation with the old man that no one could interfere with the management of the port, and the old man agreed at that time.
Now if both parties reach an agreement on investment, those domestic companies will definitely not miss out on this attractive port and will all be thinking about how to operate the port well.
As for whether those people have other ideas and want to make certain ports their own power, Xiao Chen dare not guarantee it. If there are really people with such ideas, Xiao Chen can only say four words to them - wish you good luck!
You have to know that the security management of the port is the responsibility of IPS Security Company. Will those people who have survived gunfire and hail of bullets play the same intrigues with you in the workplace?
Just go to bed, people will only trust the weapons in their hands. If anyone dares to overstep their authority and doesn't shoot you in the heart, you'd be lucky.
"Brother Chen, please don't frame me!" Su Chen spread his hands pretending to be wronged, but there was a sly flash in his eyes, "This is obviously a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. You have to know that the port is the real core!"
"Ports control the lifeline of logistics. Whether it is import and export trade or the layout of overseas markets, they are crucial hubs!"
"If it were you, Brother Chen, who had to choose, would you choose those unstable assets in Africa, or dozens of high-quality ports across several continents?"
"This is all voluntary. I didn't force anyone. Look, the old man is just going to make a phone call!" Su Chen said as he glanced in the direction of the study and then looked away.
After listening to Su Chen's analysis, Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a breath. It turned out that this guy had planned for the old man from the very beginning.
No. It should be said that the old man's mind was as clear as a mirror, and Dacong knew Su Chen's plan from the beginning.
Why not state it clearly one, two, three, four, five?
We just want the two sides to have more overlapping interests and form a certain community of interests in future cooperation, so as to take our relationship to the next level.
Not only can Su Chen be completely relieved, but even the old man and his men can use Su Chen's influence abroad to deal with some things that cannot be made public.
Today's conversation was about discussing ports and African industries, but in fact it was about tying the interests of both parties more closely together.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked at his good brother with complicated eyes, smacked his lips and said, "Chen~ Brother wants to discuss something with you?"
"Hmm? Brother Chen, is there anything we two brothers need to discuss? If you have something to say, just tell me directly." Su Chen was a little confused by this sudden incident.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal. It's just that next time you plan to cheat someone, can you tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared." Xiao Chen said half-jokingly, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Su Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this, and then his expression became serious, "Speaking of this, Brother Chen, I really need your help with something."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. What do you mean by "still some"? My goodness, he was treating him like a turtle in a wishing well!
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Su Chen, and then lit one for himself. After puffing away smoke for a while, he asked, "Tell me what it is. As long as it's something I can help you with, I'll definitely help you solve it!"
Su Chen chuckled and said without any intention of keeping the secret, "It's not a big deal. I plan to expand the security scale of Zhengdao Park and send some people to those ports for training later!"
"Are you worried that there are not enough people in IPS?" Xiao Chen exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes narrowed instantly, and he looked at Su Chen with a hint of doubt.
"It's definitely enough. We want to deal with the African affairs first. We can't transfer personnel at will. We want to recruit a group of professionals, train them well and let them see the world!"
Su Chen shook off the cigarette ash on his hands, and then continued: "Plus, the Zhengdao Park is now undergoing large-scale expansion, and more and more people will be needed by then. I am also prepared for any eventuality."
"Well, to put it in professional terms, this is called talent reserve, don't you agree, Brother Chen?" "You're the big-headed ghost!" Xiao Chen glared at Su Chen unhappily. Do you need to pull your reserve talents out for training?
There are plenty of places in the country for you to exercise!
It is no surprise that Su Chen wanted those people from IPS to help train the newcomers and grind down their arrogance. At the same time, he also wanted to put a tight rein on the newcomers and show the strength of their boss (Su Chen) to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from appearing.
After all...it wasn't that long ago that the commercial espionage incident involving Zheng Dao happened, and it's still fresh in our memory.
There is no tight ring around the head, which allows some illegal elements to find a loophole.
Putting out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, Xiao Chen said with a half-smile: "Don't play tricks on me, you kid? Talent reserve? You kid just want to take this opportunity to train a group of loyal personnel, right?"
Su Chen did not deny it, but just shrugged his shoulders, "Brother Chen, you also know the importance of Zhengdao Park. I am also thinking about safety!"
"Okay, okay, okay~ whatever you say is what I will do!" Xiao Chen waved his hand, looked at Su Chen meaningfully and said, "I'll help you arrange this matter, just tell me how many people you need, but... I have a small request."
Hearing this, Su Chen's eyes slightly opened, and his gaze stayed on Xiao Chen's smiling face for a moment. A thought popped up in his mind, "Brother Chen, you are not planning to take advantage of my group of people, are you?"
Xiao Chen was not embarrassed at all, but nodded seriously, "Yes, I was thinking of adding a group of people to the training base in the mountains."
Su Chen did not rush to answer after hearing this. He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, and soon a plan emerged in his mind.
"Brother Chen, how about we set up a professional devil training camp, relying on the manpower and channels of IPS Security Company, and then we can continuously train countless excellent personnel!"
"We can even set up a professional external security company. With the overseas investments of our domestic enterprises, I believe there is still a big market for it. Brother Chen, what do you think?"
Xiao Chen was confused. He just wanted to supplement the staff of his training base, but he didn't expect Su Chen to give him such a big gift. What's more, what he said was very exciting.
Although there are two or three well-known security companies in China, they are far inferior to a behemoth like IPS. At least the people in IPS have emerged from the hail of bullets.
"I agree with this proposal in principle, but I need to ask the old man for his advice. You know, if the old man doesn't agree, it will be useless no matter what I do!" Xiao Chen said very bluntly.
Su Chen nodded to show his understanding. After all, when it comes to cooperation involving overseas armed forces, no one would dare to act rashly without the approval of the higher-ups.
"But..." Xiao Chen suddenly changed the subject, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, "Since you dare to propose this plan, I think you must be 70% to 80% sure, right?"
Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then uttered two words, "Africa"!
"Pa!" Xiao Chen slapped his forehead and said belatedly, "Oh, my pig brain, how could I have forgotten this!"
As a certain big shot named Qian once said, not having a sword in your hand and having a sword but not using it are two completely different things!
If the overseas security company they set up becomes famous internationally, do you think those black people in Africa would dare to do such stupid things?
Even if their brain capacity is small, they will still feel afraid!
"If what you said is true, there will be basically no problem with this matter! I will arrange the personnel as soon as possible!" Xiao Chen immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Okay, let's talk about this first. Let's talk about the second thing next!" Su Chen put down the teacup in his hand, the expression on his face became restrained, and the atmosphere around him became a little serious.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen, who was originally somewhat excited, felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him. It seemed that he was happy too quickly.
Some things...this is just one thing that has been solved, and he doesn't know how many more are waiting for him in the future.
After licking his dry lips, he gave Su Chen a look, indicating that he could tell him what the second thing was!
"Brother Chen, you also know the inside story of the Bai family in Southeast Asia. The person in charge of the Southeast Asian region of IPS has obtained some important information from their core personnel. There is a private island near the Hawaiian Islands, which is the location of the Bai family's doomsday fortress."
"An elite team was formed to take over this private island, and they found something incredible inside!" When talking about the thing, Su Chen deliberately kept it a secret, picked up the teacup and started drinking.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at Su Chen immediately upon seeing this. He knew what Su Chen was trying to do, so he could only sigh in his heart and act as a professional supporting actor, "What the hell? How could it make you, Young Master Su, take it so seriously?"
"Could it be that dozens of tons of gold have been discovered again?" Xiao Chen had not forgotten the golden wall that Su Chen had built on the basement floor of the courtyard. Every time he looked at it, he wanted to cry.
Sometimes Xiao Chen wondered who was the most powerful young master in the capital between him and Su Chen, and why there was such a huge gap!
He also wants that wall made of gold!
There’s no way around it, just looking at the golden walls can make people happy!
"Uh..." Su Chen paused while drinking tea, looked at Xiao Chen in astonishment, and said with a bit of a smile: "Brother Chen, how did you know? We really found dozens of tons of gold in the doomsday bunker."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he almost jumped up from his chair, "Fuck! Your luck is too good! You can find dozens of tons of gold just by ransacking any house!"
But the next second, Xiao Chen suddenly moved closer to Su Chen and asked in a low voice: "Wait a minute... what you just said should not be about gold, after all, this little bit of gold is just the next wall in your eyes!"
"Tell me quickly, what other precious things are there in the Doomsday Fortress?"
Su Chen didn't waste time this time and explained directly: "In addition to this batch of gold, we also found a conventional submarine and a..."
After a pause, looking at Xiao Chen's burning eyes, he said heavily: "And a Bald Eagle's B-series bomber!"
Xiao Chen stood up in a flash, walked in front of Su Chen, put his hands on Su Chen's shoulders, and asked excitedly: "Is it B? Is it B2?"
Su Chen was confused by Xiao Chen's excited actions, and quickly reached out to grab Xiao Chen, "Brother Chen, don't get excited!"
At this time, Xiao Chen also realized that he had lost his composure just now, and quickly loosened his hands, saying with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now! If it is really B2, it will be of great help to us in developing a new generation of bombers, and it can even save a lot of time!"
Just like the EP-3 that made an unexpected emergency landing that year, it brought a lot of inspiration to the domestic fields of special aircraft such as early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft.
"To be honest, I'm not sure exactly which model it is. When the head of the Ghost Squad called me to tell me about this, I was afraid that the news would leak out over the phone, so I didn't let them tell me the model number of the latter."
"But... I can tell from their tone and actions that this plane must be no simple one!" Su Chen believed in his own judgment, otherwise he would not have spoken out to stop Ghost at that time.
"Whether it is B2 or not, it is very important to us!" Xiao Chen's brows immediately frowned as he spoke. The private island is not far from Hawaii. It would be extremely difficult to transport it back.
At this moment, Mr. Xiao's voice came from behind the two of them, "What exciting things are you two talking about? I can hear your screams in the study."
The old man came out of the study with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
