How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 433

The Petty Cash of a Ride-Hailing Driver

Chapter 433

This was Kinshasa, and most of the shareholders were members of the royal family.

Yang Chen’s blatant threat to Hilman and the Hamdan father and son to transfer their shares was clearly disrespectful to the royal family.

Especially since the Hilman father and son were the Crown Prince’s right-hand men, holding high positions within the royal family.

Yang Chen’s arrogant behavior angered these royal family members.

“Too arrogant! What do you think this place is? This is Kinshasa, a place that values the law! How dare you openly threaten Prince Hilman? Do you even respect our royal family?”

“I admit that the Star Defense Company has a frightening reputation, but that’s not a reason for you to do whatever you want! We don’t want to easily fall out with you, but that doesn’t mean we’re afraid to. Understand?”

“You are currently the controlling shareholder, we acknowledge that. But we can pass legislation to strip foreigners of the right to hold Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company shares. So, don’t think you can do whatever you want here!”

…

Without a doubt, these emotionally charged shareholders all supported the Crown Prince and were in cahoots with the Hilman father and son.

They were barely surviving as it was, who had time to think about the future?

Director: “Okay, Prince Haveid.”

Haveid: “Brother, it’s not fair of you to say that. Many royal family members have sold their shares, why can they sell and we can’t? Don’t accuse me of treason; I won’t accept that!”

Clearly, Haveid wanted to please Yang Chen in this way, and it could even be said that he had pinned his hopes of winning the succession on Yang Chen.

After a while, the shill that Choi Jun-hee had hired arrived and threw down a stack of 1,000 dinar bills [dinar: currency used in several Middle Eastern and North African countries].

Haveid: “Brother, don’t make it sound so scary, okay? The oil market is volatile right now, and the company’s stock price could plummet at any time. Now that Mr. Yang is willing to buy at a high price, why can’t we sell? We can sell while the price is high and buy back when the price drops.”

However, he could guarantee that Dragon Country [a common reference to China] could import oil from the UAE [United Arab Emirates] stably and for a long time.

Yang Chen: “Alright! Let’s enjoy it together tonight.”

Choi Jun-hee: “How do you know it’s useless if you don’t report it? Don’t follow me, I’m not participating in the show anymore.”

“But I don’t think it’s reached the point of a complete breakdown. Doesn’t he just want the shares of Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company? Hilman can just give him the shares, but he must guarantee not to help Haveid. When the Crown Prince becomes king in the future, we can slowly play with him.”

Choi Jun-hee: “Then why didn’t you stop it?”

…

At this moment, Yang Chen and Haveid walked over with their bodyguards.

Yang Chen: “Haha… Thank you. I will have someone contact you later to discuss payment. I can meet everyone’s requirements for the major global banks and currencies.”

However, it wouldn’t be so easy to make him obediently pay the 3 million dinar penalty for breach of contract.

The Crown Prince Mordan angrily slammed the table and questioned, “Haveid, what do you want? Do you want to hand over our country’s economic lifeline to a foreigner?”

There were a total of 24 contestants from six continents participating in this program.

“Oh, isn’t this the young master of the Korean SKC Group? Why are you lying here?”

Choi Jun-hee was rolling around on the ground, looking like he was in a lot of pain.

Choi Jun-hee took the newly bought gold jewelry to set up a stall. When he passed an alley, a few people suddenly rushed out of the alley and dragged him in.

Choi Jun-hee once again angrily questioned the cameraman, “Why didn’t you stop them again? You just watched me get beaten?”

Mordan: “It’s easy to sell, but it’s hard to buy back! We must not let a foreigner control our country’s economic lifeline. Your behavior is tantamount to treason!”

Haveid: “Haha… It’s an honor to be friends with Mr. Yang. I hope we can get along well in the future.”

Yang Chen: “Just rob him directly, don’t leave him a single penny.”

Haveid: “That’s right! I specially made this show because I had nothing else to do.”

Choi Jun-hee had also figured out his business strategy. He would use these 100,000 dinars to buy gold jewelry, and then sell it to shills at ten times the price, easily earning one million dinars.

Now, as long as he could get the 5% stake held by the Hilman father and son, Yang Chen could have absolute control of Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company.

The cameraman turned off the camera, and then a van stopped by the side of the road. A few people got out of the car and dragged Choi Jun-hee into the car.

Haveid: “Okay. Director, did you hear Mr. Yang’s request? Don’t leave a single penny for this Korean.”

Based on the thickness, there were at least 100,000 dinars.

Mordan: “Haveid and I can’t mobilize the army for the time being, which is relatively fair. But now that Haveid has climbed up to Yang Chen, it means he has an army he can mobilize. This is very unfavorable to me! Everyone, quickly think about how I should respond.”

Choi Jun-hee: “Participate in what? I’m going to call the police and arrest those who robbed me and beat me.”

After careful consideration, the Crown Prince decided to borrow troops from his father to encircle and suppress the Star Defense Company, and get rid of Yang Chen along the way.

Before Choi Jun-hee could speak, that person shouted, “Why did you hit me? Brothers, get him!”

The Crown Prince Mordan: “What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to have absolute control of Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company and then transfer the profits to your Dragon Country?”

“Even if we deal with him after the Crown Prince becomes king, we will inevitably become mortal enemies with Star Defense. And at that time, he may be hiding in Dragon Country and only needs to remotely control assassins to deal with us. It will be difficult for us to deal with him then, and we won’t even be able to get close to him. So, I think it’s better to seize the opportunity to kill him while he’s still in Kinshasa, and get rid of Star Defense along the way. That’s the right choice.”

Choi Jun-hee very directly said to the cameraman, “Go tell the organizers that if they want my 3 million dinars, they should send someone responsible to talk to me in person. Don’t follow me anymore, I’m going to call the police now.”

The cameraman: “They didn’t hit me, why should I stop them? I’m only responsible for recording your every move, not for ensuring your safety. I only get paid a little over ten thousand dinars a month, do you want me to risk my life?”

But currently, other than the UAE passing legislation to prohibit foreigners from holding Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company shares, there was no other way to stop Yang Chen.

Damn it, Choi Jun-hee was speechless.

The cameraman: “They didn’t rob me, why should I stop them?”

Choi Jun-hee endured the pain and quickly ran out of the alley.

At this moment, the Second Prince Haveid stood up and said, “I will sell you the 1.5% stake I hold. I don’t want you to pay a 20% premium, just give me the current stock price. In addition, this is a power of attorney from Princess Adina, authorizing me to dispose of the 2% stake held by Prince Hassanqi. I will also sell this 2% stake to Mr. Yang.”

After returning home, Mordan immediately gathered his confidants to discuss countermeasures.

Currently, Yang Chen holds 57% of the shares. He only needs to acquire another 10% to achieve absolute control of Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company. In the future, his words will be law, and anyone who opposes will be ineffective.

If it was cheaper in one country, he would buy from that country, which could easily cause unstable supply and have uncontrollable negative impacts on industrial production, etc.

After speaking, Haveid got up and brought the equity transfer agreement to sign.

As the young master of the SKC Group, Choi Jun-hee naturally did not lack money.

Everyone could see that Yang Chen was aiming for absolute control of Kinshasa Oil and Gas.

The cameraman: “That won’t work! You’ve already signed the contract and must participate in the program until someone earns one million dinars. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay 3 million dinars. You have to think carefully.”

Haveid laughed and said, “This guy wants to cheat! Mr. Yang, what do you think the punishment should be?”

The cameraman nodded.

Yang Chen: “Did you make this show?”

Yang Chen: “Transfer profits? Definitely not. I’m a businessman; I definitely want to make money.”

At 7 p.m., Yang Chen and Haveid came to the director’s office to watch the performances of the “Challenge 100 Dinars to Earn 1 Million Dinars” contestants.

Because each contestant’s initial capital was only 100 dinars, and this was the city of tycoons, Kinshasa, it was definitely impossible to make money by doing business with this little money. They had to find a way to accumulate more capital.

“Who are you? What do you want to do? I warn you, I am the son of the chairman of the Korean SKC Group. If you dare to touch me, you will definitely not end well, I mean it!” Choi Jun-hee shouted.

Those people didn’t waste any time with him, snatched the gold jewelry from his arms, and ran away quickly.

These people didn’t waste any words with him, covered his mouth and beat him up, and then kicked him out. The driver immediately started the car and drove away.

The shareholders’ meeting ended in a very unpleasant atmosphere.

Choi Jun-hee was frightened and quickly revealed his identity.

Therefore, in order not to offend Yang Chen, Buffett did not speak.

Controlling this company would make it easier to control other oil companies in the UAE.

From 7 p.m. onwards, the program was broadcast live 24 hours a day to share with the audience.

He knew very well that if the Second Prince won, he and those who supported him would be finished.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Don’t get excited, I’m just saying. If you two agree, sign the transfer agreement, and we will be friends in the future. If you two are unwilling, then I won’t force it. Everyone’s fate is their own choice, I just hope you two don’t regret your choices.

Are there any other shareholders willing to sell their shares? I will acquire them at 120% of the current stock price. If anyone is willing to sell, they can sign the agreement now. I can meet all your currency requirements.”

Choi Jun-hee stuffed the thick stack of bills into his arms, smugly thinking, “I’m still smart, I got 100,000 dinars so easily. Now I can do business.”

Buffett’s expression was very serious; he was thinking of ways to stop Yang Chen’s plan.

Choi Jun-hee: “…”

Those royal family shareholders who supported the Second Prince didn’t say anything. They couldn’t wait for Yang Chen to weaken the Crown Prince’s power.

The Hilman father and son definitely didn’t want to sell their shares to Yang Chen, so they both agreed to send troops to encircle and suppress the Star Defense Company now, and get rid of Yang Chen along the way.

Choi Jun-hee’s method was begging.

Haveid very politely stepped forward and shook Yang Chen’s hand, saying, “Mr. Yang, congratulations on getting one step closer to controlling Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company.”

The cameraman asked as he chased after him, “Do you want to continue participating in the competition?”

Several strong men immediately surrounded Choi Jun-hee and beat him up, and then ran away in the dark.

Those who supported him also quickly signed the agreement.

One of them deliberately bumped into Choi Jun-hee.

“I am the son of the chairman of the Korean SKC Group, you can’t hurt me!” Choi Jun-hee shouted loudly.

Haveid was overjoyed. He felt that Yang Chen’s acceptance of the invitation was equivalent to standing on the same front with him in disguise.

The program theoretically had no time limit until a contestant earned 1 million dinars.

Oil and natural gas are strategic materials. When Dragon Country buys oil, it first considers long-term and stable supply, not price.

At this time, Choi Jun-hee was trying to make money.

Subsequently, Haveid’s confidants stood up and expressed their willingness to sell their shares to Yang Chen.

With the oil problem solved, not only would domestic industrial production be guaranteed, but also international exchanges could avoid being manipulated by some countries.

Yang Chen roughly estimated that the shares of Haveid and others added up to about 5.1%.

After Yang Chen controlled the UAE’s oil exports, he didn’t necessarily have to sell it to Dragon Country at a low price.

This was the reason why Dragon Country was willing to accept Russia’s expensive oil and natural gas, because Russia could guarantee a long-term and stable supply.

Yang Chen pointed to the screen showing Choi Jun-hee, the young master of the Korean SKC Group, and said, “This kid has cursed me. Prince Haveid, can you help me teach him a lesson?”

At this time, several strong men walked into the alley.

The Crown Prince Mordan also had this idea. He also felt that Yang Chen was going to help Haveid compete with him for the crown prince position.

Haveid: “He dared to curse Mr. Yang? Outrageous, he must be taught a lesson! Director, stage a robbery scene for him.”

“There is no better way now, we must go all out. First, we must quickly promote legislation to prohibit foreigners from holding Kinshasa Oil and Gas Company shares. Second, we must borrow troops from the king to encircle and suppress the Star Defense Company. Even if we live in fear in the future, it is better than losing the competition now and being eliminated by the Second Prince.”

The cameraman: “It was too dark inside just now, I didn’t capture the faces of those people, it’s useless to call the police.”

Choi Jun-hee turned his head and saw that it was Yang Chen, and immediately understood.

The director: “Okay, Prince Haveid. I will notify them to rob him of everything.”

Haveid: “Haha… Okay, okay. Thank you, Mr. Yang. I wonder if Mr. Yang is free tonight? I would like to invite you to enjoy a reality show, ‘Challenge 100 Dinars to Earn 1 Million Dinars’. I wonder if Mr. Yang has time?”

Yang Chen: “Thank you, Prince Haveid, and all the royal shareholders. You will be my friends in the future; feel free to ask if you need anything.”

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Choi Jun-hee looked at the cameraman and said, “Did you see that?”

“It’s you! You arranged all of this, didn’t you?” Choi Jun-hee questioned.

Haveid quickly said, “It wasn’t Mr. Yang who arranged it; I arranged it.”

Choi Jun-hee: “Who are you? We have no grievances, why did you arrange this for me?”

Haveid: “You cursed Mr. Yang, of course I have to teach you how to behave. My name is Haveid Muhammad, the Second Prince of the UAE. If you are not convinced, you can come to me for revenge at any time.”
