Chapter 390: Planning the First Business Battlefield
Nami was extremely displeased with Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao, but since Kasam left her to help Chu Group expand their business, she dared not show too much dissatisfaction. She had to execute Kasam's orders.
What was her identity? Kasam's secretary, high and mighty in Ba Country, but now, she had lost all her arrogance.
From Kasam's attitude, it was clear that Ye Fan and the others couldn't be provoked, only befriended. So she understood the boundaries and glanced at Ku Eryue and Du Xueqi before tentatively saying to Ye Fan and Mengyao, "May I sit down?"
"Do as you please, sit if you want, stand if you like, it doesn't matter," Ye Fan said indifferently.
"..." Nami's perfectly beautiful face twitched, nearly swearing. She was fuming inside. What kind of attitude was that?
After suppressing the anger in her heart, she gracefully sat down. She had to seek some opinions here. Though Ku Eryue and others were standing, she knew none of these beauties were easy to deal with, and naturally, she had to maintain politeness.
"For the upcoming period, I'll be staying here. Prepare a vacant room for me. In terms of business, I can do my utmost to help you so that Chu Group's business battlefield can gain footing here quickly." Nami said politely.
"There are no servants here. No one will tidy a room for you. Choose an empty room yourself and stay wherever you like." Ye Fan said indifferently.
"What kind of attitude is this? Do you know who I am? It's too arrogant." Nami shouted fiercely in her heart. Of course, she didn't dare voice it out. How could she have the courage to provoke Ye Fan?
But Ye Fan's attitude and indifferent demeanor almost made her explode in anger. What kind of person was he?
Ye Fan naturally showed no kindness to Nami. Given Nami's little thoughts, considering herself superior and holding contempt for him and Mengyao, how could Ye Fan possibly be polite to Nami?
"Treat this place as your home, no need to feel like an outsider," Mengyao silently smiled and said. Nami, who prided herself on a high status, looked down on them in her heart, but given Kasam's instructions, she dared not offend them. So any dissatisfaction could only be held inside. Seeing Nami's frustrated expression, Mengyao had not a bit of sympathy.
"In seven days, there's a major project party where the supply of water, electricity, and commercial buildings for living essentials in two regions will be handed over for contract and reopened. I guess this project is crucial for Chu Group. I just don't know if President Chu is interested in taking it." Nami revealed the relevant details. Initially, this project was meant for other companies, but now, with Chu Group's strong rise and high status and reputation in Ba Country, she had to change direction.
She analyzed, "Of course, the two regions of the project were just taken back from the rebel forces. I believe, with Chu Group's strength, if the businesses in these two major regions are contracted, the rebel forces won't dare act recklessly. At least they'll hold some dread and wouldn't dare confront you openly. Perhaps to avoid offending you, they won't attack these regions again."
Foreign forces contracting business in these two regions mean that even if rebels invade, Ba Country will have a significant additional support. This way, resisting the rebels becomes much easier.
Though contracting business in these places carries huge risks, the investment is minimal. If it stabilizes, the profits are extraordinarily lucrative.
Nami hid nothing, laying out the advantages and disadvantages, giving Ye Fan and Mengyao space for consideration.
"If the rebels harass, do we have the capability to handle it?" Mengyao looked at Ye Fan. Facing major decisions, she had to listen to Ye Fan, as her understanding of Ba Country didn't match Ye Fan's depth.
Her words reflected that her grasp of Ba Country's situation had reached a masterly level. Indeed, for Ba Country rebels to survive, attract more people into their fold, they need soil, which is chaos. In such an atmosphere, rebels can survive better; a peaceful environment is not what they desire.
Contracting business is simple; the key challenge is the harassing attacks the rebels might launch from all corners. This is where the trouble lies.
"We'll face soldiers with generals, and water with earth. With the power we currently possess, handling small-scale conflicts presents no issue. Dealing with harassment is easily feasible." Ye Fan affirmed.
"We will contract the businesses in the two regions you mentioned and discuss the specifics of the contract later." Mengyao stated confidently.
"Such boldness, I don't know whether to call you ignorant or brainless. The rebel forces are vast in number and occupy a vast territory. Especially with various attacks, no one can guard against them. By lowly considering the rebels, isn't that akin to courting death?" Nami murmured internally.
On the surface, she didn't reveal any abnormal expressions, remaining calm and saying, "Since that's the case, at the party seven days later, I'll announce this news in front of other forces. At that time, you can meet other companies with influence within Ba Country."
After hesitating slightly, she reminded, "I know you have Poisonous Spider as a reliance. The power you possess isn't small, but compared to other forces within Ba Country, Poisonous Spider barely makes the top ten, so do not take things lightly."
Her words weren't empty but truthful and reliable.
Poisonous Spider, Asia's seventh-ranked dark force, isn't highly ranked within Ba Country.
Ba Country's situation is complex. Apart from the government army, rebels, and warlords, other various forces exist. These forces purely aim to safeguard the development of companies in Ba Country and provide support, but they aren't simply mercenary dark forces.
Soon, the mansion welcomed another visitor.
Michael, who had meticulously planned a terror attack thwarted by Ye Fan, harbored resentment and murderous intent. Yet his planned assassination hadn't commenced before he witnessed Zia and George's tragic deaths, learned of Arus's demise, and encountered the missile launch incident. Especially with Kasam personally visiting Ye Fan, it was evident that Ye Fan and others played a crucial role behind these shocking events.
So, Michael came to befriend Ye Fan and the others.
Michael was searched and escorted outside the mansion by Poisonous Spider members.
Upon entering the mansion, his gaze met Nami's briefly, bursting with hatred and murderous intent.
