Chapter 1602: Will not change principles because of danger

Su Zhiyu looked at Ye Chen's unwavering gaze and sighed deeply in her heart.

At this moment, there was also a bit of guilt deep in her heart.

In fact, she also knew that everything Ye Chen said was the truth. If it weren't for the sake of her and Su Ruoli, her father Su Shoudao would not have had the chance to go to Syria to survive.

Being able to go to Syria was already Ye Chen showing him mercy.

For her to still beg Ye Chen to take another step back at this time was indeed a bit excessive.

Therefore, she said to Ye Chen with extreme shame, "I'm sorry, Benefactor, it's my fault. When you made this decision, I accepted your three-year agreement condition. I shouldn't have come to beg you to take another step back at this time..."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said indifferently, "He is your father after all. It is human nature for you to plead for him."

After saying that, he checked the time and said, "Alright, let's stop here. The press conference is about to start, and you still need to prepare."

"Okay!" Su Zhiyu nodded and said, "I'll go over the speech draft with Miss Ito again."

At this time, Ye Chen was also secretly thinking, "It seems I have to make another trip to Syria in these two days!"

Ye Chen felt that it would be simple for him to go to Syria.

He could use the same low-altitude parachute method as last time, and he believed he could easily bypass the siege of the Cataclysmic Front.

However, if he wanted to bring Su Shoudao out under the siege of more than ten thousand people, that would definitely not be an easy task.

Therefore, going earlier would allow more time for preparation to see if there were any good methods.

Otherwise, if he delayed the ancestral rites and couldn't let Su Shoudao kowtow and admit his mistakes in front of his parents' graves, how would he explain it to his parents?

Moreover, Ye Chen was also somewhat worried about whether Hamid's defense could withstand the attack of the ten or twenty thousand soldiers of the Cataclysmic Front.

If after a period of time, the Cataclysmic Front saw that the siege was unsuccessful and became bloodthirsty, willing to pay the price of thousands or tens of thousands of lives together with the government army to kill Hamid, then Hamid might really not be able to hold out.

So he should go over as soon as possible to confirm both matters, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams in the future!

Ye Chen and Su Zhiyu arrived at the VIP lounge together. Ito Nanako, Song Wanting, and He Zhiqi were all sitting on the sofa at this time.

Ito Nanako was holding several drafts and communicating with He Zhiqi. Seeing Ye Chen enter, a burst of joy suddenly surged in her eyes. She stood up hurriedly and said with a smile, "Ye Chen-kun, you're here!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly to signal her. He Zhiqi also stood up, saying with a bit of nervousness and shyness, "Mr. Ye, you're here..."

Seeing Ye Chen, Song Wanting also stood up and said respectfully, "Master Ye, you're here!"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded at them, saying, "I'll have to trouble everyone to handle this press conference well later. Our Yisu Shipping has two beautiful shareholders, one beautiful CEO, and another beautiful strategic partner. Any one of you four beauties is a presence like a national beauty. I believe today's press conference will definitely be impressive!"

Song Wanting couldn't help but smile, "Master Ye, you are too good at flattering us. If we talk about national beauties, all three of them are. I'm getting old, so I can't afford these four words... And I'm just here to play a supporting role today; the protagonists are the three of them."

Ito Nanako immediately said, "Wanting sister, you are too humble. Among the three of us, you are the most feminine. If we really want to talk about national beauty, I think only you qualify!"

Song Wanting couldn't help but smile, "Oh my, Nanako, you've been in China for so many days, you haven't learned anything else, but your ability to say polite things is quite smooth!"

Ito Nanako blinked mischievously and said with a giggle, "A famous teacher produces a brilliant student. I learn skills from you every day, Wanting sister, so I must be making progress!"

Ye Chen smiled, "You two should stop flattering each other. If you are still so unserious at the press conference later, outsiders will definitely think that Yisu Shipping is particularly unreliable."

Ito Nanako smiled, "Ye Chen-kun, with Zhiqi, this CEO with outstanding ability, outsiders will absolutely not doubt the strength of Yisu Shipping. After these days of contact, I admire her very much. I really want to poach her to the Ito Group to help me!"

Ye Chen said casually, "Then you can completely go back and discuss with your father to integrate the Ito family's shipping business as well. The three of us will work together to make Yisu Shipping a world-class shipping group. In the future, perhaps we can go public in the United States."

Upon hearing this, Ito Nanako's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "This is a good idea! Instead of just pretending to be a shareholder, it's better to participate in a real sense. I will communicate with Father when I go back. I believe he shouldn't have any objections!"

Su Zhiyu also said very seriously at this time, "I also feel that Benefactor's plan is very feasible. If the three companies form a joint venture, then Benefactor will hold 34% of the shares, and Nanako and I will each hold 33%. By integrating our respective resources and working in the same direction, I believe we will definitely be able to grow stronger!"

He Zhiqi said with some excitement, "If this kind of three-party merger can really be realized, then we will be an invincible existence in all of Asia. Moreover, this kind of merger is beneficial to all three of us without any harm. Not only can it consolidate strength and deal with the outside world, but it can also avoid internal friction caused by competition with each other!"

Speaking of this, He Zhiqi added, "Back then, two ride-hailing apps in the country were burning money and competing desperately every day. Both were killing a thousand enemies while losing a thousand themselves. What they were competing on was not ability, but blood volume. Whoever had more blood volume could survive to the end."

"However, in this business model, the one who survives to the end, even if it wins, is a miserable victory. I'm afraid it would already be on its last breath by then and easily taken advantage of by others. That's why they chose to merge."

"After the two sides merged, not only did they not have to fight to the death, but they could even integrate resources and form a near-monopoly dominant position. In one fell swoop, they squeezed all other competitors in the industry to the edge of death. At the same time, they could use their absolute dominant position to continuously increase prices. That's why their prices have become more and more expensive and their services worse and worse over the years!"

As soon as He Zhiqi finished speaking, Su Zhiyu immediately said, "If we join forces to form an absolute dominant position, we will definitely be able to influence shipping prices to a certain extent!"

Ye Chen smiled, "Let Nanako go back and talk to Mr. Ito about the feasibility of this matter. If Mr. Ito is interested, then you guys can decide the specific details. I won't participate."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Father is still in China and is currently at the Buckingham Palace. It's just that because of his health, he doesn't want to appear in the public eye, so he didn't come down to attend the press conference. After the press conference ends later, I will go find him immediately to ask for his opinion."

Ye Chen nodded, "That's even better. Maybe you can make an appointment for lunch together and talk about this matter while eating."

Ito Nanako asked with an expectant face, "Ye Chen-kun, will you join us at noon?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I have something else to do at noon."

He Zhiqi couldn't help but complain, "You are too thorough in being a hands-off boss, aren't you? You don't participate in some small things usually, and you don't participate in such a big thing either?"

Ye Chen spread his hands and said seriously, "I'm not as professional as you in this regard, so I won't join in the fun."

Just as they were talking, Chen Zekai walked over and said, "Everyone, the press conference starts in five minutes. The media and guests have all arrived."

Su Zhiyu said to the other three women, "Then let's go over first."

Ye Chen said to them, "You go first, I have something to discuss with Old Chen."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Ye Chen-kun, don't keep hiding in the lounge. Remember to come and watch the press conference later!"

"Good!" Ye Chen agreed. After watching the four of them leave, he immediately said to Chen Zekai, "Old Chen, tell my grandfather that I am going to Syria tomorrow morning, and have him transfer the Concorde to Jin Ling tonight!" ===== CHAPTER 1603 =====
