Chapter 1816: Starting tomorrow!

When Sheikh brought this news back to the Gulf of Aden, all the pirate organizations in the Gulf of Aden breathed a sigh of relief, and even had a feeling of surviving a disaster.

What they feared most was that the Wanlong Palace would wipe them out and completely cut off their financial path.

But what they didn't expect was that the Wanlong Palace didn't intend to completely monopolize the entire escort business in the Gulf of Aden.

In this way, it left them with sufficient room for survival.

Everyone quickly and happily reached two consensuses: first, before the Wanlong Palace's escort website went online, all speedboats would rest, and no one was allowed to go out to sea to hijack merchant ships, so as not to offend the Wanlong Palace; second, after the Wanlong Palace's escort website went online, they would strictly treat the escort website as an action guide and never touch any ship escorted by the Wanlong Palace.

Immediately following, something that shocked the shipping industry appeared.

In the entire Gulf of Aden, one could no longer see any pirate speedboats cruising; it was as if the pirates had collectively evacuated from this place in an instant.

Ye Chen hadn't expected that the Wanlong Palace's armed escort business would develop so smoothly.

According to this situation, the Wanlong Palace could almost make money lying down in the Gulf of Aden in the future.

Under the premise that these pirates didn't dare to provoke the Wanlong Palace, the Wanlong Palace didn't even need to really send people to escort; they only needed to publish the information of the ships that had paid the escort fees on their own escort website, and they could collect money lying down.

And those pirates would definitely not be stupid enough to come and find trouble with the Wanlong Palace. After all, there were still half of the merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden escorted by other international security companies.

As for those international security companies, they were not enough to fear for pirates, because among them, the larger ones only had a few hundred armed personnel and could never be like the Wanlong Palace, which could kill a pirate organization leader at any time, and the pirates didn't fear them at all.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't suggest that the Wanlong Palace really make money lying down. Since they had entered the field of armed escorts with such high momentum, they naturally had to show their spirit.

Therefore, he still instructed Wan Pojun that the escort work must not be sloppy, and once the freighter prepared to be a sea base was renovated, it should regularly cruise in the Gulf of Aden waters to remind those pirates to roll far away at all times.

And just when the Gulf of Aden was temporarily calm, Jin Ling, where Ye Chen was, began to have undercurrents.

For the past two days, the Mayo Clinic in the United States continued to release the treatment effects of the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill.

As patients showed significant improvement every day, the world's confidence in the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill was also constantly growing.

This also made countries around the world somewhat impatient for this medicine.

Especially after learning that the production of this medicine was not high, many dignitaries in countries around the world also began to be moved by this medicine.

According to the report from Hong Wu's subordinates, the number of foreign personnel arriving in Jin Ling these past two days was significantly higher than usual.

Several five-star hotels that were rarely full were now basically at full capacity.

Even the Bai Jinhangong, which had been less busy before, had many foreigners staying in it.

And most of these people were here for the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill.

Ye Chen, as the initiator of all this, didn't put his attention on this matter at all.

What he was truly concerned about was the upcoming Rejuvenation Pill auction.

From the relevant information on the Wanlong Palace's intelligence network, it could be seen that the Rejuvenation Pill already had a certain influence among the top circles in Europe and America.

Although it wasn't as well-known as the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill, for those top dignitaries, its significance was much greater than that of the Nine Mysteries Rejuvenation Pill.

Now, many top dignitaries in Europe and America were trying every possible way to inquire about the Rejuvenation Pill, but because the Rejuvenation Pill was too mysterious for them, they couldn't find any substantial clues.

And Ye Chen was still confirming every detail of the Rejuvenation Pill auction with Chen Zekai and Song Wanting before the official promotion started.

Song Wanting had already prepared other auction items for the auction, and the entire auction process would also be handled by her Jiqing Hall.

And Chen Zekai had also had people develop the registration and asset verification platform for the Rejuvenation Pill auction, the hotel schedule had been fully reserved, and even the banquet hall had begun to enter the renovation stage.

Regarding the renovation of the banquet hall, Ye Chen instructed him: "Old Chen, on the day the auction starts, all windows in the banquet hall must be completely sealed. All internal surveillance cameras and the monitoring room must be completely disconnected from the internet to avoid hacker attacks and theft of video information. In addition, the monitoring room will be handed over to the Wanlong Palace at that time; all surveillance footage must be kept strictly confidential and not a single bit leaked!"

Chen Zekai immediately said: "Young Master, rest assured, I will personally handle this part of the work!"

Ye Chen nodded and added: "Also, at that time, no outsiders are allowed to approach within 500 meters of the banquet hall. All personnel participating in the auction must undergo comprehensive security checks before entering. We must ensure that no one carries any photography or recording equipment. Once anyone is found privately hiding related equipment, immediately deprive them of the power to participate in the auction and kick them out."

Chen Zekai asked hurriedly: "Young Master, are we not letting them bring mobile phones either? If our auction amount is too large, they will definitely need to use phones to notify financial personnel to transfer funds."

Ye Chen said: "It doesn't matter. You prepare a few old-fashioned Nokia blue-screen mobile phones on-site that can only make and receive calls. If the successful bidder needs to make a call, they can use the phone we provide to call on the spot."

Chen Zekai nodded immediately and said: "Alright, Young Master. I will have people surround the entire banquet hall, leaving only one entrance and exit. I will place the most advanced security equipment at the entrance and not allow anyone to carry any metal objects inside, ensuring nothing goes wrong."

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and added: "I'll call Pojun later. During the auction, have the Wanlong Palace send more manpower over."

Chen Zekai asked him: "Young Master, when do we start the promotion?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow! Start releasing the news tomorrow, then launch our website and start accepting registrations."

"Good!" Chen Zekai said somewhat excitedly: "If this news is released, those top rich people in Europe and America will probably all explode. Maybe some top hidden rich people who have never been heard of before will come!"

Ye Chen laughed: "In the first year, there should still be some people holding a skeptical and wait-and-see attitude. Some people might not come due to face. However, after the first year's auction ends, when the person who wins the Rejuvenation Pill eats it in front of all the top rich people and lets everyone see the efficacy of the Rejuvenation Pill with their own eyes, that will be the moment they truly believe in the Rejuvenation Pill."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen said with a bit of playfulness: "Therefore, as long as this year's auction is a complete success, next year's auction will definitely force all the dignitaries hidden in the dark to come out. By then, I'm afraid some kings and queens of certain countries will also run over personally to bid for the Rejuvenation Pill!" ===== CHAPTER 1817 =====
