There was a knock on the door.
Wang Tianfeng, who was on the phone at his desk, frowned. He spoke to his sister who was taking care of his father before he hung up and cleared his throat.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, but the person who walked in made Wang Tianfeng's eyes almost pop out.
"Jiang, Jiang Chen?!"
"That's right, you recognize me?" Jiang Chen casually sat on the sofa in the office and smiled at Wang Tianfeng.
He heard that Wang Tianfeng was Wang Linhua's son, and they did look similar.
There was a hint of arrogance in between his eyebrows.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Tianfeng frowned.
He couldn't understand why Jiang Chen would appear here. Does Future Technology still have business in this place? Most of the natives here didn't use smartphones.
"Of course to ask you to leave." Jiang Chen looked at Wang Tianfeng with a smile.
Wang Tianfeng thought he heard wrong.
"What?"
"Please leave." Jiang Chen repeated as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, folded it into a paper airplane, and flew it to Wang Tianfeng's desk.
Dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's attitude, Wang Tianfeng's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Chen and the paper airplane. Finally, he suppressed his anger and opened the paper. His eyes scanned the black and white words on the paper. His chest was heaving up and down due to his anger, and his breathing became more rapid.
"That's impossible! We already invested 2.5 billion in this project. Xin's government is bullsh * tting, they won't just let us go! I'm going to find President Zhang now. "
Although the wording of the announcement was euphemistic, the message was unyielding: Johnny International's actions on Pannu Islands were illegal, and they didn't recognize the land transfer agreement between the previous government and Linhua Group.
Wang Tianfeng stood up from his chair and walked to the door, but just as he reached the door, he froze.
He suddenly remembered that Linhua Group's base seemed to be surrounded by islanders.
Jiang Chen crossed his legs and reminded him, "I suggest you don't go out right now. The islanders at the door want your life."
A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead as Wang Tianfeng thought of Johnny who died tragically in the basement. Thinking of the partnership between Linhua Group and Johnny International, the rioters might see him as Johnny's accomplice, even if he didn't do anything to bully people here.
He stiffly walked back to his chair and sat down. Then he looked at Jiang Chen again.
"Why are you here?"
Wang Tianfeng's eyes flickered. He faintly felt that this matter was related to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't avoid the topic and said straightforwardly, "Because my Future International is the contractor for the project, the Xin government is very satisfied with our compensation plan."
Next?
Wang Tianfeng was shocked.
"How is this possible!? Since when did you people in the internet industry get involved in the real estate industry? "
"Internet plus travel? You could interpret it that way. Also, who said we have to build our own house? We can outsource the construction … Don't look at me like that. I won't outsource it to you. It's better for you to leave as soon as possible so you don't delay my schedule, "Jiang Chen said in a pleasant tone.
"You!"
Wang Tianfeng looked at Jiang Chen's smiling face as his face turned white from anger. The finger pointing at Jiang Chen couldn't stop shaking.
Everyone knew that the first phase of the project was the most difficult and the most costly. They invested 2.5 billion in the first phase of the project. They mobilized the most advanced equipment and the most professional workers in order to ensure the foundation of the project was solid. This was not the tofu that they would do in China. This was Linhua Group's first overseas business deal. This would become a postcard that would serve as a model for Linhua Group to discuss business with other overseas clients.
When they receive overseas orders, their salesmen would be able to proudly point at Pannu Islands on the map and take out pictures of the completed project to promote their achievements and abilities to the overseas clients. The ten billion USD deal was not only about the billions of profit, but it was also a sign to enter the world!
Linhua Group couldn't lose this deal.
Then, a begging expression appeared on his face.
"We've been working for two months and invested 2.5 billion USD. You can't just let us go. No one is more familiar with the project than us. We don't need the payment for the first phase, but at least give us the rest of the three phases. How about that? "
The humiliation tormented Wang Tianfeng so much that he wanted to kill himself.
He was the heir of a ten billion real estate company, but now he had to lower his head to a dog raised by the Wang family. His prideful pride was tortured to the point of collapse.
Needless to say, until now, he still didn't recognize the truth.
"I refuse." Jiang Chen smiled. "By the way, your project was carried out under the condition of 'illegal occupation,' so you have to pay a fine. Of course, the fine won't be much, only ten to twenty million USD. I believe with your company's wealth, this fine is negligible. "
"Illegal occupation? That's impossible! We have a contract- "Wang Tianfeng's eyes were bloodshot.
"All the contracts signed with the previous regime are useless."
Wang Tianfeng's body shook as he looked at Jiang Chen with a pale face.
"You, you knew about the coup from the beginning, right?"
"Of course, I happen to know … Mhmm, the president of Celestial Trade Corporation." The fact that he was the president of Celestial Trade Corporation had yet to be announced. Even if people knew, not many would know. Since half a month ago, the total assets of this trading company was only three warehouses. Not only was it registered in Pannu Islands, but even the operations were entrusted to professional managers in New Zealand. It operated purely as an offshore company.
"Why didn't you tell us! Did you forget what the Wang family did for you? "Wang Tianfeng lost his rationality as he roared.
"Why should I tell you? What did you help me with? "Jiang Chen shrugged as he said with an innocent expression.
Wang Tianfeng's expression froze.
"Since you are the heir of Linhua Group, then you must know what your dad said to me that night." Jiang Chen smiled.
Hearing this, Wang Tianfeng's throat moved up and down. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words.
"I didn't plan on leaving. But I just took out Future 1.0 and you guys can't sit still anymore. You want to pick the fruit? How shameless. Please allow me to use this word to describe your dad and your uncle. "
Hearing this, the furious Wang Tianfeng calmed down.
The expression on his face turned cold.
"Are you not afraid of something happening to your family? I know that your family is still in the country. "Wang Tianfeng stared at Jiang Chen and said in a threatening tone.
"Of course not, because they are currently traveling in Xiangjiang and will immigrate to Pannu Islands in a few days. Your Wang family is powerful, do you think you can reach into the special region to detain expatriates? "Jiang Chen laughed.
"Expatriates? You! "Wang Tianfeng's eyes widened.
"That's right, they are now citizens of Xin and gave up their country of origin." Jiang Chen sighed.
It wasn't the best choice, but it was the safest. He didn't want the trouble to bother him anymore.
Although the country wouldn't do something as lowly as kidnapping hostages, it was hard to guarantee that some people wouldn't get carried away and have evil intentions.
It took some effort to convince his parents to immigrate, but in the end, it was successful. The two elders still yearned for the outside world since they worked in a small factory for half their lives and only left the province a few times. Now that their son was successful, the two elders were more than happy to see the outside world.
But they were old and had a lot of concerns. The reason why they were hesitant to leave the country was because they didn't want to trouble their son, and they didn't want to leave their old house. But Jiang Chen promised them that if they missed their hometown, they could go back to visit at any time.
Wang Tianfeng's lips trembled as he couldn't think of any way to threaten Jiang Chen. Just like Jiang Chen said, the Wang family had some influence in the country, but they couldn't reach overseas.
Seeing that Wang Tianfeng had nothing to say, Jiang Chen smiled and stood up.
"You better complete the evacuation within three days, or else the security force may forcefully evict you. By the way, this is all within the framework of the law. "
"You …"
Wang Tianfeng's fists tightened as he wanted to rush up and beat him up. But he controlled himself. This was not the country, if he caused trouble, his uncle wouldn't be able to suppress it for him.
Fortunately, he controlled himself. If he really did rush up, it was uncertain who would be the one to beat up.
"I just like how you can't stand me, but can't do anything to me." Seeing that Wang Tianfeng didn't make a move, Jiang Chen smiled.
He fixed his collar, opened the door of the office, and walked out.
"Seeing that you helped me vent my anger, I'll arrange for a car to send you to the airport safely, along with your employees. By the way, help me pass a message to your dad. Revenge is a dish best served cold, although it's only been a few months. "
Then, Jiang Chen smiled and left Wang Tianfeng, whose face looked like he ate sh * t, without looking back.
…
When Jiang Chen left the Linhua Group's base, the residents at the gate hadn't left yet, but instead, there were more and more of them.
The excited islanders waved the sugarcane sticks in their hands, and it was quite comical inside.
Jiang Chen turned around to look at the workers in the construction site, thought for a moment, and then shouted at the residents.
"Quiet down, everyone calm down!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's shout, the residents looked over.
"First of all, I'm not from Linhua Group." Seeing the unfriendly gazes, Jiang Chen cleared his throat.
Hearing that Jiang Chen was not from Linhua Group, the residents immediately lost interest. But just as they continued to argue, Jiang Chen continued to shout.
"But, I've already negotiated with Linhua Group. Their project will be taken over by Future International. You may not have heard of this name, but it's okay. We'll negotiate with your new president a price you can accept to compensate for your lost land. If you believe in your president, you can leave now. "
The residents looked at each other. A slightly bulky brown-skinned man walked in front of Jiang Chen and spoke in a mix of English.
"Is what you said true?"
"Of course." Jiang Chen nodded.
The man turned around and discussed with the residents.
Finally, they seemed to have reached an agreement, and the man stood in front of Jiang Chen.
"We believe in our new president. But … "The man pointed in the direction of Linhua Group," Before the compensation is confirmed, they are not allowed to leave. "
"No problem." Jiang Chen smiled.
Seeing the residents leave, the police on duty let out a sigh of relief and walked to Jiang Chen's side.
"Thank you, buddy. If it wasn't for you, this would be difficult. "
"It's okay, it's nothing. Especially … some people are innocent. "
