My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife

Chapter 1362 - 1360: Yuan Foundation

After Gao Hong and the others left, Night Fire came over and asked, "Since they’re already aware of your return, shall we head to the company?"Yang Chen gently shook his head, "Now that I’m back, going without bringing a gift wouldn’t be proper."

Night Fire laughed, "That’s right!"

He sat down and said, "Gao Hong has been itching for action these past few days."

Yang Chen nodded slightly.

Because Gao Hong was eager to prove himself, Yang Chen let him handle this task. It’s also a kind of training for him.

Although Gao Hong trained well during his time with the Wolf Fang Squad, after being in prison for so long, returning to missions means it’s uncertain if he can still handle them.

In terms of combat, Yang Chen is confident in Gao Hong, as he has a relatively strong ability for self-management. But executing this kind of task requires awareness.

Yang Chen worried that Gao Hong might have lost the awareness needed for mission execution.

Training awareness is much harder than training physical fitness!

Yang Chen glanced at Night Fire and ordered, "Go contact the people over at Penglai Island and check on the situation there."

"Yes!" Night Fire nodded and left.

...

Until late at night.

Gao Hong and Wang Ming finally returned.

The two of them looked exhilarated.

"Boss! We’re back!" Gao Hong said excitedly.

Yang Chen nodded, poured himself a glass of water, drank, and asked, "How did it go?"

"Handled!" Gao Hong said excitedly, "Boss, you truly foresaw everything! We found out, there’s indeed someone behind Zhao Ze!"

Wang Ming said, "The person behind Zhao Ze is the Yuan Group! A massive conglomerate with overwhelming strength, totaling assets exceeding fifty billion!"

"Fifty billion?" Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, it wasn’t especially impressive.

Currently, the Shangdong Group alone has reached this standard.

The main business of Shangdong Group itself doesn’t hold much value, but generating five billion a year in profit is already excellent. That’s after the rise of its clothing brand, establishing thousands of chain stores.

Previously, the profits of Shangdong Group were pathetically low.

Yet even so, the total assets of Shangdong Group can be calculated to fifty billion!

Why?

Because Shangdong Group owns hotels.

Hotel profits aren’t high, but the buildings they use are their own assets, far exceeding the value of hotel businesses!

And their clothing brand.

Profits from clothing sales are decent but not massive.

But the brand is valuable; just the logo is the most valuable part!

Furthermore, there are those thousand chain stores!

Additionally, Shangdong Group invests in various companies, other companies, and factories.

All of the industries, real estate, brand value, shop value... adding it all together, fifty billion is not considered much for many large conglomerate companies.

But if a company were to achieve fifty billion in annual profit, now that would be truly frightening!

For such a force no more than matching Shangdong Group, wanting to take a bite out of the Longyu Group, Yang Chen felt these large conglomerate company decision-makers shouldn’t be that foolish?

Utilizing a few connections, at least, they should be able to gather some insider information.

For example... how much the Ancheng government supports Longyu Group!

Even the slightest hint, they should be able to hear it, that Longyu Group is Ancheng’s pillar enterprise, with enormous policy support! More importantly, even the Ancheng government is maintaining and vigorously supporting Longyu Group! What does this signify?

He doesn’t believe the Yuan Group wouldn’t be able to figure it out.

Wang Ming noticed Yang Chen’s facial expression change and promptly said, "Boss! Do you know about the Yuan Group?"

Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, staring at Wang Ming, and remained silent.

Wang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, laughed awkwardly and said, "Well... this Yuan Group isn’t a domestic enterprise!"

"The Yuan is from Sanfan City, they were among the early batch of immigrants there. Back then, the Yuan had a prosperous business foundation, later went to the Northern Federation, made big money, forming a vast industrial chain. Recently, Yuan is gradually strengthening its efforts in the domestic market, providing stronger support across various industries! It’s clear they observed Flame Country’s growth and want a piece of the pie. So I’m talking about this Yuan, it’s backed by members of the Yuan Foundation Committee!"

"Yuan Foundation Committee?" If it’s this Yuan, Yang Chen had some knowledge.

Back in the day, the Yuan Foundation Committee even donated substantial funds during wartime!

Speaking of which, they’re actually a hero family!

But if the Yuan Foundation Committee wants to enter Flame Country’s market and use Longyu Group as a stepping stone, they might have picked the wrong target!

Yang Chen asked, "Who did Chen Ze connect with?"

"Yuan Guoqiang!" Gao Hong said, "This Yuan Guoqiang wasn’t brought back from abroad, he should be from a branch of their family, living in the country all along, never been abroad."

Yang Chen slowly nodded, contemplated briefly, then waved them off to rest.

Yang Chen sat on the sofa, pondered for a while, drank the tea in his cup, then got up to go back to his room to sleep.

Next morning.

Yang Chen brought four people to have breakfast at the hotel, prepared to head back to the company.

Who knew, the thug leader Yang Chen had beaten up was waiting near their car.

Seeing this thug leader with two heavy new black eyes, Yang Chen sighed inwardly, figuring he must’ve waited here all night.

"Boss!" Seeing Yang Chen, the thug leader became excited immediately, stepped up to personally open the door for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen glanced at Wang Ming.

Wang Ming quickly explained, "This is Wang Zhao, he’s notable in this district, this time to catch the mastermind, I decided to use a taste of their own medicine, harshly punished Zhao Ze, who would have thought things would turn out like this."

Yang Chen looked at Wang Zhao and asked, "You didn’t return last night?"

Wang Zhao nodded repeatedly, honestly said, "Didn’t go back! It’s a critical moment now, guarding till the very end!"

Yang Chen smiled, patted Wang Zhao’s shoulder, and said, "Well done! No need to be nervous!"

Though saying no need to be nervous, Wang Zhao was still somewhat anxious.

"Your mission’s already been resolved, but I must apologize. I had guessed you might’ve been sent by Longyu Group, but to protect the clues, I acted against you, might’ve hit a bit hard, don’t take it to heart!" Yang Chen spoke gently.

Wang Zhao heard him, felt moved, "It’s what I should do; don’t just say being hit, even if you hang me up, it wouldn’t matter!"

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "Stay with Wang Ming for now, learn more!"

Yang Chen honestly liked people like Wang Zhao, smart, able to adapt to circumstances. That’s why he offered Wang Zhao a job, also lightening Wang Ming’s load at the same time.
