On the phone, Ma Zhiyuan first asked Chen Ran if he knew about Minister Cao's collapse and hospitalization. After learning that Chen Ran knew about it, he asked about the specific situation.
Chen Ran couldn't say much to him, so he could only tell him that it was nothing serious.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran found a lot of text messages on his phone. When he opened it, he saw that he had missed calls.
More than a dozen notifications all came from the same number. They should have been called while he was on the plane.
The number was an unfamiliar number, so Chen Ran looked at it and dialed it.
"Hello, is this Xiaoran?" An urgent voice came after the call was connected.
"Brother Tao?" Chen Ran recognized that the voice belonged to Wang Wentao.
"Where have you been, kid? I haven't seen you for so long." Wang Wentao complained when he heard Chen Ran's voice, but as soon as he complained a few words, he asked hurriedly: "Where are you now?
?”
"I'm in the provincial hospital, what happened?"
Chen Ran heard something was wrong with the other party's tone and thought of what Yang Shijie told him when he just woke up. Wang Wentao called him almost every few days while he was in coma. Although he called Wang Wentao back at that time, he never called him back.
get through.
"I can't tell you clearly on the phone. Just wait for me there and I'll rush over right away."
After Wang Wentao learned that Chen Ran was also in Zhongdu, he hurriedly hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Ran to say anything.
Chen Ran frowned. Wang Wentao was so anxious to see him because he obviously had something urgent to do. What else could Wang Wentao be urgent about? It was obvious that something happened to Mu Gang, but what could happen to Mu Gang?
After all, Mu Gang was in the detention center and was being cared for by Wang Wentao. Moreover, Chen Ran and Mu Gang had spent a lot of time together and knew Mu Gang very well. He was definitely not a troublemaker.
Chen Ran thought about it again and again and couldn't figure out what could happen, so he could only put it aside for the time being. No matter what, let's wait until he met Wang Wentao and understood the situation.
When he came out of the ward, Minister Cao's ward was already empty. There was only one cleaning nurse. Chen Ran knew that Professor Kong must have arranged to examine Minister Cao.
When Chen Ran came out, he didn't bring his bag. When he saw that the room was empty, he asked the cleaning nurse. This nurse was not the two nurses who took care of Minister Cao before, so she didn't know Chen Ran, but she told him
Miss Chen Rancao took a bag in her hand when she went out.
Chen Ran was relieved when he heard that Cao Huiyao was holding it. He originally planned to follow him to have a look, but he saw many people standing in the hall outside and in the conference room diagonally opposite. It seemed that a big leader was coming.
Except for Minister Cao’s secretary, he didn’t know anyone, so he didn’t move forward.
The secretary saw him and walked over to him, causing several people to look at him, but apparently they didn't pay much attention, just thinking that the secretary saw an acquaintance.
"Little miracle doctor..." Minister Cao's secretary's surname is Xie. Secretary Xie doesn't know Chen Ran's name yet. Although Miss Cao introduced Chen Ran as her younger brother, as Minister Cao's secretary, he naturally understands that the Cao family now has only
A daughter, so for a moment, he had no choice but to call Chen Ran the way Professor Kong called her.
"Just call me Chen Ran." Chen Ran nodded.
"Yeah, okay, then let me call you Mr. Chen." Secretary Xie nodded, and then said sincerely to Chen Ran: "Mr. Chen, it's really thanks to you this time..." He said it very emotionally,
Obviously, Minister Cao's sudden illness put him under a lot of pressure.
"That's what I should do." Chen Ran waved his hand. Seeing that the conversation between the two attracted the attention of several people nearby, he interrupted the other person and said, "You go ahead and do some work. I'll go out and take care of some things."
Well, wait until you tell Uncle Cao that I will come back after the party."
"Okay, here is my phone number. If you encounter any trouble, please give me a call..." Minister Cao had just confessed that Chen Ran's medical treatment should be kept confidential. Secretary Xie followed Chen Ran's gaze and noticed the situation on the side.
He also woke up and quickly agreed and handed Chen Ran a business card.
Chen Ran was not polite, although he didn't think he would cause any trouble to the other party.
Wang Wentao was probably not far from the hospital. Chen Ran received his call again not long after he came out of the hospital's backyard.
Although Chen Ran had already thought that Mu Gang's affairs had changed, he still didn't expect...
…
"Because Brother Mu was among the people who were taken away, I asked someone to check it out after I found out about it, but after asking everyone I knew and asking a friend from the National Security Bureau, I still didn't find out that there was such a department in the army.
, no one knows the people who took Brother Mu away..."
After meeting Chen Ran, Wang Wentao didn't bother to ask anything else, so he took Chen Ran to the corner of the garden next to the hospital and told Chen Ran one thing, that is, Mu Gang was missing.
Although Chen Ran was mentally prepared, he was still surprised after hearing this, and then asked what was going on?
Wang Wentao told Chen Ran that a month and a half ago, some people from the Military Investigation Department came to the detention center and took away five prisoners, including Mu Gang.
The receptionist brought out a list of people to mention and said that these five prisoners would be subject to secret investigation.
The steward had never seen much of the world and was frightened by the arrogance. In addition, the other party gave him an internal phone number of the army and asked him to check the identities of several people. After confirming the identity of the other party, he asked several people to take the people away.
Already.
"What did it say?" After hearing this, Chen Ran frowned and asked first. If Mu Gang was not among the five prisoners taken away, when he heard such a thing, he would definitely think of those people first.
They are all fake, and the purpose is to rescue the five prisoners, but Mu Gang is among them. Since these people are fake, if they want to rescue Mu Gang, they must be familiar with Mu Gang, but Mu Gang can only
He will be released from prison in ten or eight days. How could he still do such a thing?
And if Mu Gang didn't know them, then why take Mu Gang out?
Chen Ran and Mu Gang spent some time together in the detention center and knew that Mu Gang had no friends in the detention center.
"After I reported the matter, the superiors sent a task force to investigate. After verification, it was confirmed that the identities of those people were fake. Then the case was classified as a criminal absconding case. Those prisoners and Brother Mu were all
He is wanted." Wang Wentao said to Chen Ran with some regret. Chen Ran asked him to take care of Mu Gang, but he was looked after like this, but he had nothing to do. Although he made great efforts at the time, he could not
In the end, the result did not change, and even he himself was implicated.
"Is there any news about them now?" Chen Ran asked after hearing this.
Wang Wentao shook his head: "I have said hello to several people from the police department. If there is any news, they will notify me as soon as possible, but there is still no news from them. It is like they have disappeared from the world."
Chen Ran frowned, there was something wrong with this matter.
"I know a few friends at the General Staff. I called them to help check." Chen Ran thought for a while and said to Wang Wentao. No matter how much he thought about such things, it was of no use. The key now is to know how to lead the investigation.
The identities of the people who took Mu Gang away.
Wang Wentao nodded. He naturally knew the General Staff Department. It would be best if someone from the General Staff could help. He was not too surprised that Chen Ran knew the people from the General Staff. In his eyes, he, his little brother, was
He is just a strange person, and it is normal for him to know some people from the General Staff. This is why he was eager to contact Chen Ran after the accident.
The person Chen Ran called was naturally Mr. Yang.
After the call was connected, Chen Ran directly explained the matter to Director Yang without any nonsense.
"Brother Tao, don't worry too much. As long as nothing happens to Brother Mu, it will be fine." After understanding the situation, Director Yang went to inquire and hung up the phone. Seeing Wang Wentao's worried look, Chen Ran comforted him.
said.
Wang Wentao looked obviously much more haggard, and he must have been worrying about this matter a lot during this time.
Wang Wentao smiled when he heard this, but his smile was a little forced. If this happened, someone would naturally have to take the blame. Although the main problem was with the steward, the steward's level was not enough, especially since he treated Mu Gang
His special care was well known in the detention center. If nothing happened, it would be fine. But people below him exposed the incident one after another, and eventually he, the director of the detention center, was removed from his post and investigated.
If there is a backing behind him, being dismissed from his post and being investigated will naturally be nothing. Once the news is over, he can be adjusted to other positions. But the key point is that he has no backing. Otherwise, he will not be a guard at the Archaeological Research Institute. Can he be a guard?
The director of the detention center was promoted because of his meritorious service during that adventure with Chen Ran and the others.
Chen Ran said not to worry, but in his heart he was extremely worried about Mu Gang. If something happened to Mu Gang, he really didn't know how to explain it to Weiwei. Fortunately, he had experienced so many things.
When he came out, although he was worried, he didn't mess up. Moreover, what he said was true. As long as nothing happened to Mu Gang, it would be nothing.
Chen Ran thought that Director Yang would reply to him soon, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't been contacted after waiting for twenty minutes. He saw a teahouse opposite the hospital, so he called Wang Wentao and went to the teahouse to wait.
By the way, we can also reminisce about old times.
After the waiter brought the two of them to the private room and served them snacks and tea, Wang Wentao naturally asked where Chen Ran had been during this time and why he had not been contacted.
Chen Ran didn't hide anything from Wang Wentao, but he didn't tell everything. He just said that he went on a secret mission with people from the General Staff and could not contact the outside world.
Thinking of Chen Ran's performance in Guixiongling, Wang Wentao had no doubts at all.
Chen Ran naturally also asked about Wang Wentao's current situation, and was startled when he learned that Wang Wentao was almost idle at home. However, he soon understood that Wang Wentao was implicated by Mu Gang.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ran asked: "Then what are your plans? Do you want to develop into a government department or continue to work as an armed police officer?"
"I've been thinking about doing business with friends recently." Wang Wentao hesitated and said. He naturally knew what Chen Ran meant by asking him, but the series of blows he had suffered recently made him feel a little discouraged.
"I feel like I'm not suitable for being in the officialdom. To be in the officialdom, you have to have the mind to compete with others for profit. I don't have that mind. It's not interesting to hang around in the Qingshui Yamen." Seeing Chen Ran's strangeness, Wang Wentao smiled bitterly and said to him.
Chen Ran explained that the director of the detention center was supposed to be a fat guy, but he didn't have the guts to accept bribes and turned into a human being.
"Then what kind of business are you planning to do?" Chen Ran thought for a while and felt that Wang Wentao was not good at being an official. To be an official, you must be able to do business. Wang Wentao obviously didn't know how to do business.
"A friend of mine is in the surveillance business. I have a lot of connections in this area, so I plan to work with him." Wang Wentao's family is from Zhongdu, and he is in the armed police industry, although he is not very rich.
relationship, but there is no shortage of ways to earn a living.
"It's okay to do this, but it's not a long-term business." Chen Ran nodded first, and then rejected Wang Wentao's idea. He understood Wang Wentao's idea. It is true that relying on relationships can bring in a few business, but after that,
It’s not about entering the market to compete.
Wang Wentao is not an official material, but he is not a business material either.
Before Wang Wentao could say anything, Chen Ran looked at him and said, "Brother Tao, I'm quite short of manpower. How about you help me?"
Wang Wentao was startled, then smiled and said: "Of course I can help you, but apart from being a security guard and guarding the gate for you, I can't do anything else." Seriously speaking, although he was familiar with Chen Ran, in fact, he was familiar with Chen Ran.
He didn't know much about Chen Ran. He only knew that Chen Ran seemed to be very good at antiques and was considered an expert. So after hearing what Chen Ran said, he thought that Chen Ran wanted him to do the same.
"I really need a security guard to watch the gate. I asked Brother Tao to help me just because I wanted you to do this." After hearing Wang Wentao's words, Chen Ran also smiled, and when he saw Wang Wentao was stunned, he continued: "
Of course, the door I showed Brother Tao was not the same."
After speaking, I saw Wang Wentao's confused expression and smiled again, and then told him the truth: "I want Brother Tao to help me set up a security company. I wonder if Brother Tao is interested?"
Chen Ran and Wang Wentao said that they were short of manpower. They were not being polite. He was really short of manpower, and not just an ordinary manpower shortage. He had already decided to acquire a larger jewelry company with billions of funds.
With the acquisition in hand, it is not difficult to acquire it. The difficulty is the problem after the acquisition. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is working alone. Although there are Master Zhao and others in Tianzhong, they are not in management and operation.
The most talented people can only manage a jade processing factory.
Some people can be recruited from the market, but it is obviously not possible to recruit people who are not trusted by Chen Ran, especially since Chen Ran himself cannot sit in an office for a long time.
In addition to the management and operation of a jewelry company, another important department is obviously the security department. For Chen Ran, to a certain extent, the security department is even more important than other aspects, so Chen Ran naturally has to arrange
Manage it with people you can trust.
Normally, it would be enough to appoint a reliable person to be the head of the security department, but Chen Ran thought that in the future his business would definitely be more than just a jewelry company. In addition to business, he would also have to arrange security guards for his family.
Another thing is that the people trained in Tianzhong have to have a security company to put their names on them if they don't have the correct names. Unifying all the security guards into one company will also make it easier to ensure their loyalty.
When Chen Ran asked Yang Shijie to form a team, he thought of setting up a security company, but he was taken away by the National Security Bureau before he could do it. Later, he even thought about leaving the security company affairs to Mu Gang.
The managers of the security company must be running around. If Yang Shijie is left to manage it, he cannot sit in Tianzhong, especially now that he has taken over Longquan Villa and Yang Shijie is also required to manage it.
Wang Wentao was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly: "Xiaoran, why are you thinking of starting a security company? You can't do this without having all the connections."
Security companies are not something that ordinary people can open. To a certain extent, security companies are actually the former underworld, but they are no longer involved in underworld, but the methods are of the same nature, and it is not possible without a relationship with the White House. You must know that now
Many of the businesses of security companies are linked to government departments, such as taking private jobs from government departments, such as the Public Security Bureau, Urban Construction Bureau, Armed Police Force and other departments. It can be said that there are big bosses behind every security company, and there are even many.
Privately, security companies are actually run by the sons of officials. Even if they are not run by themselves, they still have their shares. If you think about competing with them for business, you will know the consequences.
"Brother Tao, just set up the company. I will handle the rest. Moreover, the security company we have established in the short term will not accept work from outside." Chen Ran naturally knew the nature of the security company, but his
The jewelry company needs a large number of manpower, and the successful operation of the security company also requires a process. From the early stage, he does not plan to let the security company take over the business, so that there will be no conflict with other security companies in the early stage.
, as for the future, when the company matures and operates, and its reputation is also built, then of course we will talk about it.
The purpose of starting a company is to make money. How can you make money if you don't take jobs? Wang Wentao was obviously very strange after hearing what Chen Ran said, but before he could ask, Chen Ran spoke again: "In the early stage, I plan to invest 50 million to establish this security company.
, I will increase the capital investment depending on the specific situation in the future. If Brother Tao is willing to help me, in addition to the basic salary, I will give Brother Tao 5% of the shares. Of course, this is only for now, and I will definitely increase it in the future.
."
Chen Ran and Wang Wentao talked about the treatment for him. Five percent of the shares would be 2.5 million. This amount of money is nothing to Chen Ran. If he directly gave Wang Wentao money, let alone this amount of money.
Chen Ran gave away tens of millions to Wang Wentao without even thinking if he needed them, but everything must have a charter. Since he was going to start a company, although Chen Ran didn't plan to expect the company to make money, he still had to have a charter.
, if Wang Wentao is short of money, Chen Ran can give him another amount, but the company's shares should be given as much as they should be. It will be difficult to manage after the chaos, and it will definitely be improved little by little in the future. It is not necessarily a good thing to give him enough at once.
.
When Chen Ran asked Wang Wentao to help him, Wang Wentao didn't pay much attention. Since Chen Ran said this, he naturally had nothing to say. I think Chen Ran would not lose him anyway, and after hearing what Chen Ran meant
It means that Chen Ran will not take care of this security company himself and let him do it all. Although Wang Wentao was a little surprised, he also didn't pay much attention. At this time, he thought that Chen Ran would only spend a few million to do this.
From a security company, such a company would only allow him to manage dozens of people at most. Although he had never done it before, he didn't care. But he never expected that Chen Ran would ask for 50 million, and this was in the early stage.
He will also increase capital investment, and hearing Chen Ran's tone, it is obvious that he does not regard the 50 million as money at all. This is obviously beyond his understanding of Chen Ran.
"How about it? Brother Tao, are you willing to...?"
When Chen Ran saw that Wang Wentao was silent, he asked again, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, his cell phone rang.
Picking up the phone, he saw that it was Mr. Yang who was calling. He didn't want to talk to Wang Wentao anymore, so Chen Ran quickly answered the phone.
