That night, Ma Lan's hands never left the two gold bricks that Ye Chen gave her.
And because the Royal Hotel project has entered a critical stage, Xiao Churan has been very busy these days.
When Ye Chen came back, he took the initiative to take her to and from get off work.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen sent Xiao Churan to the construction site of the Royal Hotel, and then received a call from Chen Zekai.
On the phone, Chen Zekai told him that Wan Pojun had brought nearly a hundred Wanlong Palace soldiers to the Buckingham Palace Hotel.
After hearing this, Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai, "Old Chen, has the administration building been emptied?"
Chen Zekai hurriedly said: "Go back to the young master, it was emptied overnight last night. The original residents were compensated with double the room rate and arranged for them to move to other buildings."
"That's good." Ye Chen ordered with satisfaction: "In this case, you ask Wan Pojun and the others to wait for me in the lecture hall of the administration building. I will go there right away."
"Okay, Master!"
The Executive Building of Buckingham Palace itself serves large-scale business banquets and high-end business meetings. It not only has a large number of high-end guest rooms, but also a huge lecture hall and numerous conference halls.
Among them, the lecture hall is large enough to support an indoor press conference with one or two thousand people.
Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai to clear out the administrative building, intending to use it as the domestic headquarters base of Wanlong Palace in the future.
After driving to Buckingham Palace, Chen Zekai was already waiting outside the lobby. When he saw Ye Chen coming, he opened the car door for him personally and took him to the lecture hall of the administration building.
At this time, nearly a hundred soldiers of the Wanlong Palace were sitting neatly inside, with full determination on their expressions.
Chen Zekai pushed open the door of the lecture hall, Ye Chen stepped in, and Wan Pojun immediately stood up reflexively.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining nearly a hundred soldiers also stood up and looked in awe at Ye Chen who strode in.
When Ye Chen came to the soldiers of Wanlong Palace, Wan Pojun took the lead to kneel down on one knee, raised his fists with both hands above his head, and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, I will lead the eighty-eight soldiers of Wanlong Palace to Jinling.
Listen to your orders!"
The other soldiers behind also knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Attention Mr. Ye's orders!"
The only two people who did not kneel down on one knee were the white-robed tiger king Lu Haotian, who had been deposed by Ye Chen, and the blue-eyed wolf king Chen Zhonglei, whose consciousness had been sealed by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to help Wan Pojun up, and said: "Brothers, you don't need to do this big ceremony, please get up."
As Wan Pojun stood up, everyone else also stood up.
Ye Chen looked at Wan Pojun and asked him: "How are your parents' funeral arrangements going?"
Wan Pojun said to Ye Chen with a grateful expression: "Back to Mr. Ye, thanks to your noble hand, the coffins of my parents were reburied in a cemetery in Xishan, Yanjing yesterday. Thank you for your concern!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said seriously: "Since your parents have been reburied, don't bother them anymore in the future. Also, remember to pay homage to their graves every Qingming Festival."
At this point, Ye Chen sighed and said with some melancholy: "Actually, my situation is very similar to yours. For nearly 20 years, I have not been able to go back to worship at my parents' graves because of my identity. In the past 20 years,
I have always been very ashamed and remorseful. I believe you have experienced this feeling personally, and I hope you can try your best to make up for it in the future."
Wan Pojun nodded repeatedly and said with shame: "Mr. Ye is saying that my subordinates have been overseas for these years and feel extremely painful and self-blame every time during the Qingming Festival and the anniversary of the death of their parents. I will definitely not make the same mistake again in the future."
Ye Chen hummed and asked him: "Have those Wanlong Palace soldiers I sent to Northern Europe returned?"
"Not yet." Wan Pojun said hurriedly: "They safely sent the three people to Hamid in Syria an hour ago, and they should have started their return journey now."
"Okay." Ye Chen said, "Since we are talking about Syria, I have an idea that I want to share with you."
Wan Pojun said without hesitation: "Mr. Ye, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. You don't need to ask for the opinions of your subordinates. No matter what decision you make, your subordinates will abide by it 100%!"
Ye Chen waved his hand: "This matter is related to the future development of Wanlong Palace, so I not only want to seek your opinion, but also the opinions of other Wanlong Palace soldiers."
After saying that, Ye Chen said again: "What I want to talk to you about is the direction in which Wanlong Palace should develop next."
Wan Pojun immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, please speak, my subordinates are all ears!"
Ye Chen nodded and said seriously: "On the first day when Song Jiang was forced to go to Liangshan and turned into a bandit, what he was thinking about was to clean up Zhao'an in the future. Although Wanlong Palace is not a bandit, you have been in war-torn countries and regions around the world for a long time.
The war is about money, not right and wrong. Over the years, there will inevitably be some behaviors that help the evildoers, so although Wanlong Palace has a good reputation, it does not have a good reputation outside."
Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused slightly and continued: "Now, all of you from Wanlong Palace have been subordinated to me, Ye Chen. The road ahead is long and difficult, and I don't want to see you being destroyed by the world in the future."
Therefore, I hope that Wanlong Palace can complete its transformation as soon as possible and gradually clean up its reputation."
Wan Pojun said without hesitation: "Mr. Ye, I have had similar ideas to what you said, but Wanlong Palace has many soldiers and huge expenses. With my ability, I have never thought of how to lead everyone smoothly.
Transformation, Mr. Ye, do you have any good ideas?"
Ye Chen said seriously: "My current thoughts are divided into three directions. The first is to abandon all evil ways and become a reasonable and legal mercenary of justice; the second is to engage in shipping security to ensure the safe passage of merchant ships in areas where pirates are rampant.
;The third one is engaged in team project security, providing overall security services for infrastructure projects in developed and developing countries in the third world."
With that said, Ye Chen told everyone one by one the several directions he and Gu Yanzhong discussed that night.
Among them, the second point is especially focused on shipping security.
Because Ye Chen planned to find a way for Wanlong Palace to establish a base in Syria, using Syria as the rear area to support their future escort work in the Gulf of Aden.
When they heard that they would transform to protect global merchant ships and infrastructure projects of various countries in the third world in the future, the soldiers of Wanlong Palace were also a little excited. This kind of work is not only reasonable and legal, but also has a very positive and positive effect on society, and is related to
Wanlongdian’s previous business direction was completely different.
Wan Pojun was also very excited. He had always wanted Wanlong Palace to clear his name, but he had never found the direction. But after hearing what Ye Chen said, his eyes lit up.
So, he hurriedly asked Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the reputation of Wanlong Palace was really not very good before. Do you think customers will buy it if we transform into shipping security and project security?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Yisu Shipping has received an investment of tens of billions of euros and will become the world's top shipping company. By then, I will hand over all shipping security work to Wanlongdian. As long as you can take this opportunity,
To establish our reputation in the Gulf of Aden, customers will definitely be willing to accept your protection."
Saying that, Ye Chen added: "As for the security work of infrastructure projects in the third world, I have asked an elder to help with the coordination. According to him, there is a lot of demand in this area overseas, and I am afraid that your Wanlong Palace will be busy by then.
Don’t come here!”
