Chapter 1753

That night, Ma Lan's hands never left the two gold bars Ye Chen gave her.

And because the Dihao Hotel project has entered a critical stage, Xiao Churan has been very busy these days.

Ye Chen returned, so he took the initiative to take on the job of picking her up and dropping her off at work.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen sent Xiao Churan to the construction site of the Dihao Hotel, and then received a call from Chen Zekai.

On the phone, Chen Zekai told him that Wan Pojun had arrived at Bai Jinhangong Hotel with nearly a hundred Wanlong Palace soldiers.

After hearing this, Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai, "Old Chen, has the executive floor been cleared?"

Chen Zekai said hurriedly, "Back to Young Master, it was cleared overnight last night. The original guests were compensated with double room rates and arranged to other floors."

"That's good." Ye Chen ordered with satisfaction, "In this way, let Wan Pojun and the others wait for me in the report hall on the executive floor first, and I will go over there."

"Okay, Young Master!"

The executive floor of Bai Jinhangong itself serves large-scale business banquets and high-end business meetings, not only with a large number of high-end guest rooms, but also a huge report hall and numerous meeting rooms.

Among them, the scale of the report hall is enough to support an indoor press conference of one or two thousand people.

Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai to clear the executive floor, intending to use it as the headquarters base of the Wanlong Palace in China in the future.

Driving to Bai Jinhangong, Chen Zekai was already waiting outside the lobby. Seeing Ye Chen coming, he opened the car door for him personally and took him to the report hall on the executive floor.

At this time, nearly a hundred Wanlong Palace soldiers were sitting in it neatly, each with a face full of determination.

Chen Zekai pushed open the door of the report hall, Ye Chen stepped in, and Wan Pojun immediately stood up reflexively.

Immediately after, the remaining nearly a hundred soldiers also stood up one after another, looking at Ye Chen who strode in with awe.

When Ye Chen came to the Wanlong Palace soldiers, Wan Pojun knelt on one knee first, held his fists high above his head with both hands, and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, your subordinate has led eighty-eight soldiers of the Wanlong Palace to Jin Ling to await your dispatch!"

The other soldiers behind also knelt on one knee neatly and said in unison, "Awaiting Mr. Ye's dispatch!"

The only two who did not kneel on one knee were Lu Haotian, the White-Clothed Tiger King who had been crippled by Ye Chen, and Chen Zhonglei, the Green-Eyed Wolf King whose consciousness had been sealed by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, reached out to help Wan Pojun up, and said, "Brothers, there is no need for such a big gift, get up."

As Wan Pojun got up, the others also stood up one after another.

Ye Chen looked at Wan Pojun and asked him, "How did you handle your parents' funeral?"

Wan Pojun said to Ye Chen with a face full of gratitude, "Back to Mr. Ye, thanks to your mercy, your subordinate's parents' coffins were reburied in a cemetery in Xishan, Yanjing yesterday. Thank you for your concern!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Since your parents have been reburied, don't toss them around in the future. Also, remember to go to their graves to worship every Qingming Festival."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen sighed, quite melancholy, and said, "Actually, my situation is very similar to yours. For nearly twenty years, I have not been able to go back to my parents' graves to worship because of my identity. For these 20 years, I have been very ashamed and self-blaming. I believe you have a personal experience of this feeling. I hope you can try your best to make up for it in the future."

Wan Pojun nodded repeatedly and said shamefully, "Mr. Ye is right. Your subordinate has been overseas for these years, and every Qingming Festival and the anniversary of my parents' death, I have been extremely painful and self-blaming. I will definitely not make the same mistake again in the future."

Ye Chen gave a hum and asked him, "Have the few Wanlong Palace soldiers I sent to Northern Europe returned?"

"Not yet." Wan Pojun said hurriedly, "They safely sent those three to Hamid in Syria an hour ago. They should be on their way back now."

"Good." Ye Chen said, "Since we are talking about Syria, I have an idea that I want to communicate with you."

Wan Pojun said without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, you can order anything you have. You don't need to ask for your subordinate's opinion. No matter what decision you make, your subordinate will follow it 100%!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, "This matter concerns the future development of the Wanlong Palace, so I not only want to ask for your opinion, but also ask for the opinions of other Wanlong Palace soldiers."

Ye Chen added, "What I want to talk to you about is the direction in which the Wanlong Palace should develop next."

Wan Pojun immediately said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, please speak, your subordinate is all ears!"

Ye Chen nodded and said earnestly, "When Song Jiang forced his way to Liangshan and became a bandit on the first day, what he thought about was to be recruited and whitewashed in the future. Although the Wanlong Palace is not a bandit, you have been mixed in war-torn countries and regions around the world for a long time. Fighting depends on money, not right or wrong. After so many years, it is inevitable that there will be some acts of helping the tyrant. Therefore, although the Wanlong Palace is famous, it is not a good reputation."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused slightly and continued, "And now, the Wanlong Palace has all been incorporated under my Ye Chen's command. The road ahead is long and difficult. I don't want to see you being spurned by the world in the future. Therefore, I hope that the Wanlong Palace can complete the transformation as soon as possible and gradually wash white."

Wan Pojun said without hesitation, "Mr. Ye, you said these, I also had similar ideas long ago, but the Wanlong Palace has many soldiers and huge expenses. With my ability, I have never thought about how to lead everyone to a smooth transformation. I don't know what good ideas you have, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Chen said earnestly, "My current ideas are in three directions: the first is to abandon all crooked ways and be a reasonable and legal righteous mercenary; the second is to engage in shipping security to ensure the safe passage of merchant ships in areas where pirates are rampant; the third is to engage in team project security, providing overall security services for infrastructure projects of developed and developing countries in the Third World."

As he spoke, Ye Chen told everyone the several directions he discussed with Gu Yanzhong that night one by one.

Among them, the second point is the main one.

Because Ye Chen intends to find a way to establish a base for the Wanlong Palace in Syria, using Syria as a rear area to support their escort work in the Gulf of Aden in the future.

Hearing that they will protect global merchant ships and infrastructure projects in the Third World in the future, the Wanlong Palace soldiers were also slightly excited. This kind of work is not only reasonable and legal, but also has a very positive impact on society, which is very different from the previous business direction of the Wanlong Palace.

Wan Pojun was also excited. He had always wanted to wash the Wanlong Palace white, but he hadn't found a direction. But after hearing Ye Chen finish, he felt enlightened.

So, he asked Ye Chen hurriedly, "Mr. Ye, the reputation of the Wanlong Palace is indeed not very good. Do you think if we transform to do shipping security and project security, will customers buy it?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Yisu Shipping has received an injection of 10 billion euros and will become the world's top shipping enterprise. By then, I will hand over all shipping security work to the Wanlong Palace. As long as you can take this opportunity to make a name for yourself in the Gulf of Aden, customers will definitely be willing to accept your protection."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "As for the security work of infrastructure projects in the Third World, I have already asked an elder to help bridge the gap. According to him, there is a lot of demand for this in overseas, so I am afraid that your Wanlong Palace will be too busy to handle it!"
