How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 432

The Great War (1)

Adina came out this time to die. She wanted to use her life to give Yang Chen a reason to deal with the Crown Prince.

Second Prince Harvid followed the plan and deliberately sent a message to the Crown Prince, letting him know that Adina was currently worshiping at Hassanqi’s grave.

Crown Prince Mordan immediately called Hillman and said, “Adina is at Hassanqi’s grave now. Go and kill her.”

After seeing Yang Chen’s strength last night, Hillman was frightened.

He was a little afraid to attack anyone related to Maya.

“Crown Prince, I think Shudler should do it this time. It’s time for him to express his loyalty to you,” Hillman said.

Shudler was also one of the princes who supported the Crown Prince, but his strength and status were far inferior to Hillman and Hassanqi.

Mordan felt that it made sense. It was time for Shudler to show his loyalty.

So, Mordan quickly called Shudler again.

Shudler was not strong enough. He only dared to put on a show, raise his hand to vote, etc. He didn’t dare to do this kind of assassination, and he couldn’t do it.

However, Mordan had made it clear that he wanted him to express his loyalty. If he refused, it would seem insincere.

Shudler’s mind raced, and then he said, “Crown Prince, I don’t think it’s necessary to make extra trouble at this time. When Hassanqi was alive, their lineage was a threat to you. Now that Hassanqi is dead, their lineage can’t threaten you at all. Of course, I can help the Crown Prince solve Adina, but if I don’t do it cleanly and leave evidence, wouldn’t that ruin your big plan? In the current situation, it’s better to remain still than to act rashly. We should wait for the Second Prince to take revenge for Hassanqi and take action against you. Then we can rightfully get rid of the Second Prince and his followers. What do you think?”

Mordan thought about it carefully, and Shudler’s words made some sense.

Shudler continued, “Actually, Crown Prince, if you think about it carefully, isn’t it a little strange that Adina still dares to go to Hassanqi’s grave so openly at this time? If it were you, would you dare to go to worship alone now?”

Mordan: “So, you mean she deliberately wants me to kill her?”

Shudler: “Yes! That’s what I think, but I just can’t figure out why she would do this.”

Mordan: “I know why she did this! Yang Chen, the boss of Starlight Defense, made it clear to me and the Second Prince last night that he would not participate in the fight between me and the Second Prince. He only wanted the lives of Hillman and his son to avenge Hassanqi. But Adina obviously wasn’t satisfied with just avenging Hassanqi. She must also want to create a better future for Lansheed. So she deliberately wants me to kill her, and Yang Chen will avenge her because of Maya’s relationship. Then Yang Chen will deal with me. What an insidious plan!”

Shudler: “That must be right! So, we can’t fall for her trick. Let’s just pretend we don’t know she’s worshiping Hassanqi. It’s already troublesome enough for us to deal with the Second Prince and his followers. If we become enemies with a group like Starlight Defense at this time, our pressure will be even greater, and our chances of winning will not be high. As far as I know, the predecessor of Starlight Defense was Aegis Security Group, which was known for assassinations in the global mercenary world. They are the best at

The Great War (2)

They are the best at creating accidents to assassinate targets. Many warlords in South Myanmar and gang leaders in Black Mexico have fallen into the hands of Aegis Security Group’s killers. If they decide to assassinate you, Crown Prince, you may not even be able to leave your house in the future. What’s the point of becoming king if you have to hide at home all day like you’re in prison?”

This Shudler was not strong, but he was silver-tongued. Mordan was stunned by what he said.

Mordan: “Haha… you’re right. I’m glad I called you, otherwise I would have made a big mistake this time. The most important thing now is to deal with the Second Prince. Everything else can be put aside. Okay, let’s stop here. Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Mordan quickly called Hillman again and ordered him to pretend that he didn’t know Adina was worshiping Hassanqi and let her go.

Adina stayed at Hassanqi’s grave until noon, but no one assassinated her. This made her a little confused. Could it be that the Crown Prince was really scared by Yang Chen?

She was ready to die, but it wouldn’t work if the Crown Prince chickened out at this time.

After thinking for a moment, Adina got up and went home.

The main thing was to be brave. Adina swaggered home.

Maya was very worried about her mother’s safety because she hadn’t returned.

Maya called Adina and asked, “Mom, haven’t you come back yet?”

Adina: “I talked to your dad for a while [referring to her deceased husband], and then I went home. I’m home now, so don’t worry.”

Maya: “Why did you go home alone? If Hillman finds out, he will definitely send someone to arrest you. Come back quickly!”

Adina: “Don’t worry. Yang Chen taught the Crown Prince and his gang a lesson last night. They don’t dare to touch us for the time being. I clearly have a home, so why can’t I come back? You stay there and let Yang Chen protect you. Your mother is old. If something unexpected happens, it’s a good thing. I can reunite with your dad.”

Maya immediately cried and begged her mother to come back quickly.

But Adina was now focused on paving the way for her son, and no one could persuade her.

After hanging up the phone, Maya quickly begged Yang Chen to send someone to her house to bring her mother back. If her mother insisted on not coming back, then send a few bodyguards to guard her.

Yang Chen nodded and sent a few bodyguards to protect Adina.

“Don’t worry, Auntie will be fine. Let’s go eat,” Yang Chen comforted.

Maya nodded and got up to go to the restaurant with Yang Chen.

On the other side, Mordan finished lunch and returned to his room to take a nap.

At this time, he felt something under his pillow.

He quickly got up and opened the pillow to see that there was a short knife underneath. A red star was engraved on the short knife, which was the new logo of Starlight Defense Group.

Mordan was shocked and hurriedly got up and called the bodyguards in.

“Who came in just now? Did you see anyone come in?” Mordan asked.

The bodyguards shook their heads in confusion.

Mordan knew that this was Starlight Defense giving him a warning, meaning that they had the ability to kill him at any time.

“As expected of a mercenary group known for assassinations, their methods are really clever. They managed to avoid all my

The Great War (3)

All the bodyguards and surveillance cameras in my house, sneaked into my room and put the knife under the pillow. It seems that I really can’t fall out with them, the consequences will be very serious,” Mordan thought to himself.

Looking at the confused bodyguards, Mordan’s anger rose.

Damn it, what’s the difference between this and raising a bunch of useless people?

Fortunately, Starlight Defense just wanted to give him a warning. If they had directly assassinated him, wouldn’t he have been dead already, and these bodyguards wouldn’t have noticed?

“You guys go out! Just guard the door. No one can approach my room. Do you hear me?” Mordan said angrily.

The bodyguards nodded and quickly went out to guard the door.

Mordan sat on the bed looking at the short knife engraved with a red star, feeling very complicated.

Originally, he wanted to gather strength to encircle and suppress Starlight Defense, but now it seems that he was thinking too much.

If he continues to borrow people everywhere, it may not be a warning next time.

Mordan took a deep breath, threw the knife on the table, and then lay down to sleep with a heavy heart.

In the afternoon, after the stock market closed, the shareholders of Jinbai Oil and Gas Company with a shareholding ratio of 1% or more were all present in the conference room.

Some shareholders could not attend in person, so they sent representatives or participated in the shareholders’ meeting via video conference.

Yang Chen had not arrived yet, and the shareholders were asking Chairman Shaffir about him.

“Chairman, have you met the representative of Starlight Investment?”

“What did he say to you?”

“What is his purpose in doing this? Is it just a financial investment waiting for dividends, or does he have a deeper strategic purpose?”

……

Shaffir: “To be honest, I don’t know what he’s thinking. I did meet him yesterday, but he only chatted with me briefly, and I don’t know what his purpose is. I think this question should be asked to Mr. Buffett. Mr. Buffett and Starlight Investment are shorting our company together, so he should know the purpose of Starlight Investment.”

Everyone looked at Buffett, who was drinking Coke.

Buffett’s face was solemn, and he said, “To be honest, he made it clear to me that his purpose in shorting Jinbai Oil and Gas Company this time is to take control. As for what he will do after taking control, he didn’t tell me. However, we can infer from common sense that he spent so much money to control Jinbai Oil and Gas Company, it must not be just for dividends, there must be other more important strategic purposes. Therefore, when he comes later, everyone must join hands to fight against him. If he easily controls Jinbai Oil and Gas Company, it may have uncontrollable effects on the world格局 [géjú – situation; pattern; structure].”

Oil is a strategic material, and Yang Chen’s behavior cannot be simply considered from an investment perspective.

As an old Jianghu [jiānghú – literally “rivers and lakes,” referring to the martial arts world or a society of wanderers; here, an experienced person], Buffett certainly knew what impact it would have on the world situation once Yang Chen completely controlled the oil lifeline of the UAE [United Arab Emirates].

The United States does so many things every day just to tie oil to the US dollar.

Once oil transactions are no longer settled in US dollars, the impact will be great.

Science has no borders, but scientists have borders. This sentence can also be used to describe the investment market. Investment has no borders, but investors have borders.

Other shareholders

The Great War (4)

They expressed their opinions one after another.

“If he wants to control Jinbai, or even the entire oil lifeline of the UAE, we will never agree.”

“That’s right! At worst, we will legislate to take back the controlling stake. It is absolutely impossible for him to control our country’s oil lifeline as he wishes.”

“He better just be a simple financial investment. We will recognize that he has invested so much money to control Jinbai Oil and Gas Company. If he dares to have other ideas, we must join hands to deal with him!”

“Jinbai Oil and Gas Company can only be decided by the people of the UAE. No one from any other country can interfere with the control and management rights!”

……

Buffett was very satisfied with the performance of these fools and couldn’t help laughing again.

Before long, Yang Chen arrived at the conference room with bodyguards from Starlight Defense.

Crown Prince Mordan, Second Prince Harvid, and Hillman and his son Hamdan all widened their eyes in shock.

After all this time, Yang Chen is actually the boss of Starlight Investment?

The person who smashed hundreds of billions of US dollars to control Jinbai Oil and Gas Company is him!

Yang Chen really has money and people. He is much stronger than the chairmen of other mercenary groups.

Crown Prince Mordan thought: “Fortunately, he is not involved in the fight between me and the Second Prince, otherwise I would be in big trouble.”

Second Prince Harvid thought: “I didn’t expect him to be so powerful! No, no matter what, I must win him over to help me. With his people and money, becoming king is a small matter, let alone crown prince.”

Hillman thought: “What a difficult opponent! He has money and people. I’m definitely in big trouble. If it doesn’t work, I’ll defect to help the Second Prince. If I continue to help the Crown Prince, I might die in an accident one day.”

Hillman’s son Hamdan thought: “His goal is definitely not just to control Jinbai Oil and Gas Company. His goal is very likely the entire oil industry of the UAE. Hehe… that’s good. We couldn’t deal with him before, but now we can use this excuse to win over all the royal family members to deal with him. If the Second Prince doesn’t deal with Yang Chen, he will lose the support of the royal family members. If the Second Prince deals with Yang Chen like us, Yang Chen will definitely regard him as an enemy, and they will not be able to cooperate. Haha… I’m so smart. This is a conspiracy. The Second Prince knows it’s a trap, but he still has to choose a trap to jump into.”

Hamdan quickly sent his thoughts to the Crown Prince and his father via text message.

After reading Hamdan’s analysis, Mordan and Hillman couldn’t help but smile.

Shaffir quickly got up and went forward to greet Yang Chen.

“Mr. Yang, hello. According to your instructions, shareholders with a shareholding ratio of 1% or more have come to attend the meeting. Some shareholders who cannot attend have also participated in the meeting via video conference.”

Yang Chen nodded and walked to the head of the table and sat down.

Shaffir next to him quickly explained: “Everyone, let me introduce you. This is our new major shareholder, the boss of Starlight Investment Company, Mr. Yang Chen. He is also the new controlling shareholder of our Jinbai Oil and Gas Company. Everyone applauds to welcome him.”

Buffett smiled

The Great War (5)

Clapped, but the other shareholders did not react.

Yang Chen smiled at Buffett and said, “Mr. Buffett, you are very quick to act. You can come as soon as you say so.”

Buffett: “Haha… I received the notice yesterday and flew over immediately. This is Mr. Yang’s first time presiding over a shareholders’ meeting, so of course I have to attend in person.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Thank you for your support, Mr. Buffett. The other shareholders don’t seem to welcome me. Do you have any prejudice against me?”

The shareholders expressed their doubts.

“Why did you spend so much money to control Jinbai Oil and Gas Company? Do you have any political purpose?”

“We don’t care what your purpose is. Even if you are now the controlling shareholder, you cannot interfere with the company’s management. You can only wait for annual dividends.”

“We also want you to understand a fact. If your investment is not pure, we have ten thousand ways to deprive you of your shares. Don’t think we are scaring you. We really mean what we say.”

……

These people have a cloth on their heads, I’m afraid they’ve broken their heads [implying they are foolish or stubborn].

Yang Chen didn’t threaten them, but they threatened Yang Chen first.

Yang Chen: “I originally wanted to have a good talk with you, but since you said that, I don’t think there is anything to talk about. The people I named, sign the equity transfer agreement. Hillman, Hamdan.”

Hillman: “What equity transfer agreement to sign? We don’t plan to sell our shares.”

Hamdan: “You said sign, so we sign? Did you ask us if we wanted to sell?”

Yang Chen: “You two need to understand the situation. I’m not discussing with you, but notifying you to sign the equity transfer agreement. Of course, I am very democratic and law-abiding. Everything is up to you. You can sign if you want, and I can’t force you if you don’t want to. However, if you two still hold shares in Jinbai Oil and Gas Company when you walk out of this conference room today, no one can guarantee your safety. Not even the Crown Prince, I said that!”

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze, everyone’s face was very serious, and even the smiling Buffett put away his smile, replaced by shock and fear.

Buffett regarded Yang Chen as an investor like him, but he was obviously wrong.

He and Yang Chen are really different!

He is a pure investor, and Yang Chen is not just an investor.
