Section 8: Going to the giants

After picking up the documents I signed and put them back in the drawer, Zhang Hong handed me a key. After taking the key, I looked at it and found nothing special.

"My will will be handed over to my most trusted lawyer for execution. If any accident occurs, it will take effect automatically. This lawyer has been with me for thirty years and is one of the people I trust most in my life." Zhang Hong said, sitting down opposite me again, "But sometimes, it is often the person you trust the most to betray you. Just in case, I will give you this key."

"It sounds like this key should have a great purpose."

Zhang Hong nodded and said, "Many people in the world think that the reason why I can go to this day is because of my luck, ruthlessness and cleverness. In fact, they are all wrong. The reason why I can go through so many storms and waves and still stick to this day is not because of others, but because I always leave a way out for myself. This key is the way out for myself since I was young. It is the key to a safe in the Polish Bank in the Netherlands. There is a piece of paper in this safe, which reads the username and password of more than 300 password accounts of 16 international banks around the world."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hong explained: "Password account does not require any proof. As long as you provide a username and password, you can withdraw all cash payments. There are about 2 billion US dollars in cash in these more than 300 accounts. Although it is only one-fifth of my total assets, it should help you a lot at critical moments, especially when it is cash."

"Twenty billion dollars?" After repeating this number, I looked at the key in my hand, and my whole palm felt hot. My god, this... this..., "As long as I have this key, can I open that safe at will?"

"Yes, you can prove your identity by showing this key, and then the bank manager will take you to open that safe."

I blinked my eyes incredibly for a while and said, "So, wouldn't I just need to leave this room with this ring, and I can get this 2 billion US dollars at any time?"

Zhang Hong nodded.

"That is to say, when I get this key, I actually got the 2 billion US dollars?" I looked and asked Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong nodded again, and I said again in disbelief: "Mr. Zhang, do you really know what I mean? What I mean is that I can take away the 2 billion US dollars at any time."

"I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet," Zhang Hong said lightly, "But you'd better not get this money before you have to, because it will definitely cause you big trouble."

Now, I was completely disgusted. I was halfway down on the sofa, with my head tilted, and my mind was blank. I didn't know what to say at all. After a long time, I said, "Mr. Zhang, I personally think that you should tell me the reason why you did this, otherwise, I am very worried that I would do something wrong and let your hard work down."

"The reason is simple, because I believe in you."

"But why do you believe me? Is it because I helped you make Ruirui better? Is it because I submitted this plan? Or..."

Just as I was talking about this, Zhang Hong waved his hand gently and said, "You don't have to ask so much. In short, you know I believe you."

"But...but, this is too illogical. A person like you who is known for his scheming will entrust everything to a college student who has only met once. Even if... even if you write a novel like this, it will be criticized as nonsense."

"Everyone has two sides. I can tell you frankly that my wealth mainly comes from two aspects, smuggling and gambling. Although I have been running such an industry, I am not a gambling person. I don't like gambling, I like to plan and move. But the starting point of my life comes from a gambling. Many years ago, a young man as young as you appeared in front of me. He was like you, without any fame, without any great past. But it was under his leadership that I embarked on the road today. When we just stood firm, he died in an accident. From then on, my career suddenly went smoothly and continued to rise. In ten years, I stood on the spire of the underground pyramid."

After I heard Zhang Hong say so much, I still couldn't figure out what it had to do with me.

At this time, Zhang Hong raised his head and said to me, "And when I first saw you, I felt familiar, you really look like him."

"You believe me because of this reason?" I asked in disbelief.

Zhang Hong did not answer me, but continued: "Over the years, I have always felt that there was a force around me pushing me left and right. Now I have begun to have a premonition that this force seems to do something to me."

"Ha? Who is it? Are there any signs?"

Zhang Hong shook his head slowly, "No, there is no sign, it's just an instinctive premonition of an elderly person who has been rolling in the wind and rain for decades."

Looking at Zhang Hong's worried look, I couldn't help but think to myself: "It's the suspicion of an elderly person."

While I was saying this in my heart, Zhang Hong took a deep breath, then stood up and walked up in the room, "Maybe, everything is my suspicion, but no matter what, it is better to give everything to you than to Ruirui. A man is innocent and is guilty of being a villain. Ruirui is too simple and leaves too much property to her, which will only bring tragedy to her life. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it to you, a young man who I like very much. I believe that with your intelligence, I may not be able to promote my career, but at least I can protect myself. Moreover, I believe that you will take good care of Ruirui for me. In this way, there will be no regrets behind me."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hong waved his hand gently and said, "Okay, don't say that. Before the future comes, none of us knows what the future looks like. Too much worries are just worrying about nothing."

The old man spoke today, basically without logic or ideas. He spoke like a frog jumping. If he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't know where he jumped. This time, he was like this. After just talking about his worries, he went back to the tentative joint plan we were going to implement on the Sino-Vietnam border without any transition. "When I saw the documents provided by Feng Ying, I knew you had basically gained Feng Ying's trust. Do you know why?"

When talking to Zhang Hong now, I basically stopped working my brain, because it was useless to move. So I have been in a state of conditioned reflex conversation for a while, so when I heard him ask me, I asked reflexively: "Why?"

"Because in the plan provided by Feng Ying, you only need to reach 15% of the share in the flower basket market, even if you are qualified. This requirement is actually not difficult. Even if there is no integration, as long as we both sides change from opposition to cooperation, our total market share can reach 15% within the specified time. Therefore, the requirement of 15% is not so much to prove your ability, but rather Feng Ying's power after the two sides cooperated together in order to prove to Tenglong's immortality. From this we can see that

Feng Ying is indeed sincere in joining me." Zhang Hong said this and looked at me, "Young man, to say something you don't like to hear, the entire joint case cannot be promoted without you. But what this plan relies on is not your ability, but your balance. This balance is the trust of both of us in you. And Feng Ying was able to show such great sincerity this time, which is enough to show that she does have a considerable trust in you. From this point of view, I have to admit that you do have a set of things in dealing with women."

I smiled awkwardly and thought to myself, "Are you praising me or hurting me?"

At this time, Zhang Hong looked up at the clock on the wall, "It's night, it's time for me to rest. Let's talk about this tonight."

"Oh." I said, and stood up.

Before I left, Zhang Hong walked up to me, put his shoulder on my shoulder and said, "In order not to make Feng Ying have doubts, I will send someone like them to participate in your project in Vietnam. After the smooth transition, he will join Zhang Fangtian and become the two major deputys of the entire joint gambling industry. What should I do? The three of you discuss by yourself and report the manpower and material resources you need within ten days. If nothing unexpected happens, both of us will approve it."

"Ten days?" I thought about it, nodded again, and opened the door, "I understand."

Just as I was halfway through the door, Zhang Hong suddenly asked me the most inexplicable question on this inexplicable night, "Do you think there are people in the world who will not die?"

"Ah?" I opened my eyes wide with a blank look on my face, looking at Zhang Hong. In addition to being stunned, I was still stunned. This question was a little too profound.

After seeing my dementia appearance, Zhang Hong turned around and murmured: "It's nothing, I'm just a sudden whim."

After sleeping in Zhang Hong's villa for a night and having countless strange dreams, as soon as I woke up, I was sent onto the plane flying back to Xijing. Sitting in the first class of the plane, I suddenly felt like a Jordan. Why do I say it is a Jordan? Because I have been in the air for more days than on the ground. What is this not a "flying man in the air"?

What I didn't expect was that this was just the beginning, and the real busyness was still coming.

After returning to school, I didn't call Peng Yao, and it was even more impossible to contact Zhang Fangtian. Because since Zhang Hong said so easily, I don't have to worry too much. If I guessed correctly, they should be the ones who should be anxious now, not me. I know that even if I don't inform them, they will definitely be instructed by their respective upper-level teams to start making relevant preparations. As for me, what I need to do is just when they are almost ready and come to me to make a decision. I nodded and said, "Yes, it's great."

In this way, with the extremely irresponsible mentality of "let them do it", I spent two days in college with normal college life, class, get out of class, game, and aiming.

On the third day, when I just finished Marxism-Leninism and walked out of the classroom with hundreds of classmates with Zhang Sheng, I saw dozens of famous brand cars parked on the playground of the classroom. There were about a hundred people standing in front of these cars, all of whom were in black suits and black sunglasses, standing straight in the sun, with hands behind me, and legs spread apart.

If I hadn't seen clearly that the two people standing in front were Peng Yao and Zhang Fangtian, I would have thought that there must be some crew filming here. I believe that the students who stood with me would also think so.

Just as everyone pointed at these people and whispered, they saw Peng Yao take off his glasses with a smile, then pointed at me and said, "Don't you call me the boss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a hundred men in black behind him and Zhang Fangtian. He lowered his head and shouted respectfully at me: "Boss."

This call made me dumbfounded. What was the show? With a feeling of being confused, I turned my face to look at Zhang Sheng beside me, and then turned to look at the other side. The one who stood on the other side happened to be the teacher who taught me Marxism-Leninism. This old woman scolded me n times because I slept in class and was the teacher I hated the most. At this time, I saw her swallow a bite, and then said to me with some fear: "Class Chu Tianqi, although I scolded you when you were sleeping last semester, I was working, and I hope you can understand."

At this time, Zhang Sheng gently pushed me and laughed and said, "Brother, from now on, your civilian life has come to an end and you have officially entered the ranks of giants."

I glared at Zhang Sheng, then walked down the stairs, walked to Peng Yao, and said angrily: "Uncle, you have a ill mind."

"What's the disease? This is something I specially arranged for you. Don't you think it's more majestic and more shameful?"

"You are so proud of your face. You wish the whole world knew that I was in the underworld, right?" I gritted my teeth and looked at Peng Yao, then turned around and smiled at everyone, "Hahahaha, don't be nervous, it's filming, it's filming."

After saying that, I quickly turned around and patted Peng Yao who was stunned, "You can't get in the car? Are you standing here as a monkey?"

After a while, more than a hundred people on the playground squeezed back into the car and drove out of the school. Peng Yao, Zhang Fangtian and I were in the same car. In the car, I asked Peng Yao, "Uncle, who taught you to come up with such a stupid idea? Have you watched too many Hong Kong dramas?"

"No one teaches me. I'm just to make you happy. From now on, you are the president of the United Gambling Industry. Although you haven't built all the two casinos yet, it's a matter of time. Even if the village chief takes office, he has to hold a ceremony to perform a job, so I'm thinking of giving you such a show to make you more impressive. Who knows you won't appreciate it?" Peng Yao said, holding a toothpick in his mouth and looking out the car window dissatisfiedly.

I really have no way to do this uncle. He always wants to show it like this, so that you can never understand what he is thinking. But no matter what, he is always reliable than Zhang Fangtian, and you have to rely more on him in the future. So I had to smile again, pat Peng Yao's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I won't mention the past, let's talk about the serious business. If you two come to me, you must have arranged this aspect yourself, right?"

At this time, Zhang Fangtian continued: "Well, Miss Feng personally took charge of it and selected dozens of capable personnel for me. These people are all elites who have received semi-formal agent training and are our absolute capable forces."

As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Yao said, "Although my subordinates are all professional hooligans, they will not be worse than their elites when they really work."

"Okay, uncle, I know you are the best." I smiled and looked at Peng Yao, then continued, "Since you have everything done, you can just drive over directly. Why do you come to me for?"

"You can't say anything. No matter what, now you are the president of the United Gambling Industry. We are both your subordinates. All actions must be approved by you before you can take action. If you can make your own decisions, then what will you do in the future?" Zhang Fangtian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Yao said again: "In addition, we both want everything. Now it's time for you to ask for things."

"Me?" I looked at Peng Yao and Zhang Fangtian in surprise, "What can I want?"

"There's too much." Peng Yao tilted his head and screamed, "Look, once this matter starts to work, although you don't have to worry about all the trivial matters, you should always appear there every now and then. At least, you should stay there for two days on weekends."

"You're right." I nodded, then frowned again, "But I'm still in school, what should I do with my schoolwork?"

"Look, isn't this the problem? Hualan is not Ho Chi Minh. There is no airport there. If you transfer from Ho Chi Minh every time you go, you will be exhausted. So, should you very much be with the bosses on both sides of the country to set up private planes?"

"Ha, private plane?" My eyes almost fell off.

But Zhang Fangtian did not object to this time, but nodded in agreement, "As the president of the United Gambling Industry, he should have a private plane."

Immediately afterwards, Peng Yao said: "Also, you are so romantic and have no women. Are you completely unspirited to work? So, it is normal to have ten or eight secretary to be your company."

Zhang Fangtian frowned slightly, and then said, "There are a little more ten or eight, but if it is really necessary for work, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Also, in addition to shares, you have to use money. Do you have something like the Prime Minister of the State? You should have something like a president's fund for you to spend some money on your daily basis?"

"If this...the amount is within a certain level, it should be considered a reasonable requirement."

"besides……"

After listening to Peng Yao and Zhang Fangtian, I said a lot of words, the more I heard my face turned redder, and I felt like I was flying in the clouds. It took me a long time to finish my words, but I remembered and shouted excitedly: "Damn it, it turns out that the welfare of the underworld management is so good now."

After the car arrived at Peng Yao's nest, the three of us began to formally discuss the resources we requested. After we listed all the resources, I found that most of them were my personal requirements - private jets, beach villas, and an annual salary of 10 million US dollars...

Except for the ten or eight secretary requirements, almost all the benefits Peng Yao and the others mentioned were listed.

When I saw this long list, I couldn't help but take a breath, looked at the two of them in confusion, and asked, "Hey, I haven't done anything yet. I just want so many things. Will it make the bosses very upset?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Zhang Fangtian say, "Don't Mr. Chu remember Wang Jian's story?"

As soon as I heard this, I knew what Zhang Fangtian meant. When Wang Jian led the Qin army from all over the country to attack Chu, he was there and asked the King of Qin for money again and again. When others asked him why he suddenly became so greedy for money, he explained that he did this because the King of Qin entrusted me all the troops of the whole country, so how could he not worry about my unfair intentions? And trying hard to get things proves that his ambition is only this, so the King of Qin would hand over the army to me with confidence.

Although this happened more than two thousand years ago, Wang Jian is in such a similar situation as me today.

Therefore, when I heard Zhang Fangtian say this, I nodded with peace of mind and said, "Okay, then the three of us will jointly submit this resource application form."
