Chapter 2999: Returning to the Country

When Ye Chen arrived in Jin Ling, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, Yanjing time.

After Ye Chen passed customs and completed entry procedures in Jin Ling, he walked directly through the VIP channel inside the airport and took the special plane that the Ye family had been waiting for for a long time, taking off in the night to head to Yanjing.

Because Ye Chen's grandfather was publicly developing deep investment cooperation with the official side in Yanjing during this period, Ye Chen was worried that Wu Feiyan's subordinates would monitor Yanjing's entry information, so Ye Chen decided to enter through Jin Ling.

After entering through Jin Ling, he went to Yanjing, which could bypass Yanjing's international terminal and customs. Yanjing has hundreds or thousands of domestic flights every day, and these passengers would definitely not be the target group monitored by the Anti-Qing Society.

Ye Chen's purpose for going to Yanjing this time was only one: to meet his grandfather, synchronize the situation in New York with him, and discuss countermeasures.

Knowing that Ye Chen was coming to Yanjing tonight, Ye Chen's eldest uncle, An Chongqiu, and Li Yalin went to the airport to greet him an hour in advance.

Ye Chen took off from Yanjing and landed in Yanjing two hours later. Domestic flights no longer need to go through customs, so the plane taxied directly to the hangar after landing.

The eldest uncle and Li Yalin had been waiting in the hangar for a long time. The car they drove was parked here. The two were smoking by a trash can with an ashtray outside the car. Seeing the plane Ye Chen was on finally dragging slowly into the hangar, both of them were happy, threw the cigarette butts into the ashtray at the same time, and walked towards the cabin door in big strides.

The cabin door opened, Ye Chen stepped off the plane, and the two greeted him immediately.

"Chen'er!"

"Mr. Ye!"

Seeing Ye Chen, their joy was beyond words.

Ye Chen also responded with a smile, "Eldest Uncle, Detective Li."

An Chongqiu smiled and patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, asking with a smile, "You must be tired after tossing for so long this time, right?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Not tired, I haven't felt tired for a long time."

"That's good." An Chongqiu nodded and said hurriedly, "Your grandfather knew you were coming to Yanjing tonight and hasn't slept, waiting for you. If you're not tired, let's hurry up and go over first."

"Okay!" Ye Chen agreed without hesitation and sat in the Hongqi sedan they drove.

Ye Chen noticed that the license plate number of this Hongqi sedan was very special, and it seemed to be a special number segment that was common in Yanjing, so he asked, "Eldest Uncle, where did you get this car?"

An Chongqiu answered while driving out of the hangar, "This was specially applied for by the department that received our investment. It is mainly taken care of by the security department, and the safety factor is high."

Speaking of this, An Chongqiu added, "The old master has had enough fun spending money recently. The total amount of various cooperation discussed during this period has exceeded one hundred billion US dollars, all of which are promising local industries, covering a wide range. In a few days, your second uncle and I are going to the south. We invested in a lithium battery enterprise and are preparing to build a top-level power lithium battery production and R&D base in the south, specifically for R&D of high-density power lithium batteries needed for new energy vehicles. Next, your second uncle also plans to directly engage in a new energy vehicle brand, taking advantage of the top-notch supply chain in the new energy field in the country to directly engage in vehicle manufacturing."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "The An family didn't seem to be involved in manufacturing much before. Why did you directly engage in vehicle manufacturing this time? This industry has a long investment cycle, occupies a lot of energy, and the profit space is not very optimistic."

An Chongqiu explained with a smile, "New energy is indeed the general direction of future automobile development. The whole world is promoting carbon neutrality and carbon peaking. New energy enterprises are the top priority for promoting carbon peaking. Moreover, the cost of clean energy is lower and does not rely on imports, which can largely alleviate the demand for oil imports. In the future, the cost of fossil fuels will become higher and higher, and the advantages of new energy will become more and more obvious."

Speaking of this, An Chongqiu added, "Actually, to put it bluntly, the old master still hopes to land investment in the real economy. The real economy can create more jobs and integrate more labor and resources to upgrade together. The benefits are greater. If we can promote the upgrading of the entire industry, it would be even better."

Ye Chen nodded understandingly, "My grandfather's investment this time is putting returns in second place."

An Chongqiu said, "The old master said that for any project, the first consideration is how much substantial help it can bring to China; the second consideration is how much it can improve China's influence in this field; and the third consideration is the project's profit and return."

Ye Chen nodded lightly. Originally, he hoped that the An family could make the Anti-Qing Society wary through cooperation with the official side. He didn't expect his grandfather to plan so far ahead.

Half an hour later, the Hongqi car Ye Chen was riding in drove into a state guesthouse that was not open to the public. After completing the registration, An Chongqiu and Li Yalin took Ye Chen to the villa where his grandfather, An Qishan, was staying.

This state guesthouse had many detached small villas, where guests could not disturb each other, and it was quiet and safer.

As soon as An Chongqiu parked the car in front of the villa, Ye Chen's grandfather, An Qishan, and his second uncle, An Kaifeng, came out to greet him.

As soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, he hurriedly came to his grandfather and said, "Grandfather, it's so late, why did you come out?"

An Qishan smiled, "My eldest grandson came from afar, how can I not come out to greet him!"

After speaking, he took Ye Chen's hand and sighed, "Chen'er, you've worked hard these days!"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Not hard, Grandfather, let's go in and talk."

"Okay!" An Qishan nodded and greeted everyone to enter the villa together.

After entering the villa, An Qishan couldn't wait to ask him, "Chen'er, what is the situation in New York? Tell your grandfather in detail!"

Ye Chen knew that the old master was very concerned about the situation in New York, especially everything related to his little brother-in-law, Chen Zhimin.

Therefore, he explained the process of how he got involved with Chen Zhimin after arriving in the United States and how he killed him and the fourth earl of the Anti-Qing Society.

Hearing that Chen Zhimin had turned into ashes and even his ashes had been cleaned up by the Rothschild family, An Qishan sighed, "Chen Zhimin, this bastard, ruined Youyou's life. Not being able to watch him die with my own eyes is truly a pity!"

Ye Chen said, "Grandfather, what do you plan to tell Little Aunt?"

An Qishan said, "Chen Zhimin is also a big figure in New York. If he disappears, news will spread before long. When it reaches your Little Aunt's ears, she should be able to guess that he must be dead. As for other details, it's better not to let her know. Everyone will know it in their hearts in the future, and no one will mention this person again."

Speaking of this, An Qishan sighed slightly and added, "Chen Zhimin being alive is a huge threat to the An family. His death is the best result for the An family. So this matter should be completely cut off after his death, and it should not produce any subsequent influence. Your Little Aunt should be able to figure it out."

Ye Chen nodded lightly. As his grandfather said, the tacit way of handling it is actually the best solution.

At this time, An Qishan added, "Chen'er, I discussed with your eldest uncle and second uncle that we want to gradually abandon the US market in the future. Except for the equity of other enterprises we invested in the United States, other assets in the United States should be transferred back to China if they can be transferred. If they cannot be transferred, we have to find a way to deal with them. I want to hear your opinion on these matters."

Ye Chen said, "Grandfather, this is the An family's business. You, Eldest Uncle, and Second Uncle can decide."

An Qishan shook his head, "Chen'er, I said last time that you have 60% of all the An family's assets, so these things must have your approval. Moreover, in the future, you can directly decide all major matters of the An family. Our ideas will be reported to you in the form of proposals, but the final decision-making power is still with you."

Ye Chen smiled, "Grandfather, I said last time that I can't take the An family's assets now. Let's wait until I solve the Anti-Qing Society. Before that, everything is still up to you."

Actually, Ye Chen never intended to take the An family's assets from the beginning to the end.

Money is something that has long lost the meaning of currency itself to Ye Chen. What's left is just a string of countless numbers.

Agreeing to accept the assets verbally to his grandfather at the beginning was just an expedient measure because his grandfather was too insistent. If one day he could really eradicate the Anti-Qing Society, he would rather retire to the mountains and forests than continue to control these business maps.

An Qishan said at this time, "Chen'er, abandoning the United States means that many of our assets in the United States that cannot be taken away must be settled as soon as possible. Either sell them or find a way to manage them. Otherwise, if we leave those industries and employees there, and no one can manage them in a unified way, these assets will only become worse and worse, less and less valuable, and even eventually become negative assets. Do you have any ideas on this?"

Ye Chen knew what his grandfather meant.

Before tearing his face with Chen Zhimin, the An family's business in the United States was basically managed by him. Now that he is dead, the An family cannot return to New York for a short time. The huge assets will inevitably face shrinkage and decline if no reliable person manages them in a unified way.

Now, the An family cannot go back, and he cannot come forward to take over. Moreover, the An family is being watched by the Anti-Qing Society. No matter who is allowed to take over the An family's business in the United States, it will attract the attention of the Anti-Qing Society, so Ye Chen has no good way for a while.

However, one thing is certain: if the An family's assets are sold off, the market value will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the An family is not short of money, and they are not in a hurry to cash out, but they do not want to let this part of the assets fend for themselves.

The best way is to find a reliable and capable person to manage the An family's industry in the United States on their behalf. The first person Ye Chen could think of was Fei Kexin.

However, after thinking carefully, he quickly passed his own thought, because once Fei Kexin takes over the An family's industry, the Anti-Qing Society will definitely check what the relationship between Fei Kexin and the An family is, which is equivalent to giving the Anti-Qing Society a breakthrough to find himself.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Ye Chen proposed, "Why don't we temporarily entrust the An family's industry in the United States to the Rothschild family, let them help the An family manage this part of the industry on their behalf, and wait until the threat of the Anti-Qing Society is eradicated in the future, then let them return these industries!" ===== CHAPTER 3000 =====
