Chapter 132 Company Trouble
A day passed quickly, and the truck left the logistics park and headed towards the Xiaowan Town that Cui Jian was familiar with. After leaving the city, Duanmu felt a little uneasy and said, "Turn on the radar."
The radar rose up and began to rotate 360 degrees. Hai Lan looked at the screen and said, "There are a few ordinary vehicles, but no aircraft." The radar can capture dynamic targets.
The driver's voice came: "Five kilometers to go, no abnormalities found."
Duanmu looked at the map and said, "Go get some gas."
Cui Jian came over and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Duanmu said: "I received seventeen calls before dinner, and I didn't receive a single call after dinner."
The truck drove two kilometers and turned right into a gas station. The driver got out of the car to communicate and made a circle to report on the monitoring and surrounding conditions. After filling up the gas, the truck slowly left the gas station and drove onto the highway.
At 10:59 p.m., the truck arrived at the fishing boat dock in Xiaowan Town. The small dock was T-shaped, with fishing boats parked on both sides of the dock. There were not many boats, mostly local fishermen's boats. It was the wrong time, so no one could be seen on the dock. However, there were three SUVs parked on the side of the dock road. When Lemon and others got off the car, the headlights of the three cars shone directly over.
Then there were gunshots. Hela pulled Lemon back first. A car came quickly and blocked the truck's path. The gunmen advanced towards the truck. They didn't notice that a car came from the opposite direction. The car didn't turn on the lights and stopped directly next to the three SUVs. The two gunmen who stayed behind were instantly knocked down by Duanmu.
At this time, the four vehicles were 50 meters away from the truck, and the ten gunmen happened to walk to the completely empty space in the middle. When they heard the gunshots behind them, they immediately became confused. They turned back and were immediately blinded by the three dazzling headlights. They continued to move forward and faced a special bulletproof container.
Duanmu and Cui Jian were not polite at all. They hid in the darkness beside the car and emptied the magazines at the gunman in the middle as if they were shooting at a dead target.
Earlier, when the truck slowly left the gas station, Cui Jian and Duanmu got out of the truck and got into a car on the side of the road, using the truck's position to block the camera. The driver of the car came out of the bathroom and returned to the car, surprised and happy, surprised at how there were two more people, and happy at the thick banknotes in front of him.
The driver drove past the dock and found the ambush vehicle, and continued to drive to Xifeng Mountain. During the period, the two sides reached an agreement, and Duanmu bought the car with a sum of money. According to the distance between the truck and the dock and the speed of the truck, the two men made a surprise attack. Originally, they wanted to use their high beams to dazzle the gunman, but they didn't expect that the three vehicles of the gangsters would dazzle first.
High beams are really useless, at least not something that the human eye can look directly at. Borrowing a car to conduct reconnaissance and then making a surprise attack was Duanmu's plan, while using high beams was Cui Jian's idea.
The strong combination killed the gunmen immediately. Duanmu stayed behind, and Cui Jian went around from the side, avoiding the strong light, and walked closer: "Everyone, put down your guns." They could call the police, but when the police arrived, Lemon would not be able to leave.
A few minutes later, a ship in the distance shone its lights onto the dock. Three long and two short beeps were the agreed signal. Hailan opened the door, led Lemon and Lacey out of the car, and walked onto the T-shaped dock. One of the gunmen tried to move, but was immediately shot by Cui Jian and Duanmu. The other gunmen who were injured or surrendered had thrown away their pistols and lay quietly on the ground.
Lemon and Lacey boarded the fishing boat without saying goodbye to Duan Cui. The fishing boat would have to change to another boat, or to another one, which was not a problem Cui Jian and Duan Mu needed to worry about. Since they were already on the boat, the wanderers would definitely do everything they could to protect Lemon and Lacey. The truck drove away first, and they had to cover up the existence of the safe house by replacing the container.
Then it was the same old story: the police came, the ambulance came, and the company lawyer came again. But today the police had a few difficult questions to answer. The first question was: Where is your employer?
Duanmu and Cui Jian both answered: I don't know. After the gunfight started, they lost sight of their employer.
Second question: Why are you here?
Both of them answered: The employer required it.
The third question: The criminals said you were riding in a truck, where is the truck?
The two replied: Nonsense, we were riding in a car that we bought temporarily and we even left the owner’s phone number.
The fourth question: Where did the gun come from? Where are your guns?
The two replied: We stole it from the criminals. We didn't carry any guns. The reason was that the company's pistols had locators.
The bad news: because his employer disappeared, the company could only pay Cui Jian $20 as compensation for two days of work, and could not settle the project bonus. The $200 million in Cui Jian's account was a bonus given by his employer during his employment. After paying $70 in taxes, the remaining $130 million was legal income.
After adding the previous bank balance to the 150 million US dollars, Cui Jian currently has 170 million US dollars, equivalent to 23 billion won. This amount of money cannot buy a villa in downtown Hancheng, a luxury villa in the suburbs, or a high-rise hotel-style villa.
The most suitable house for 23 billion is a large country villa, that is, a suburban villa, but the surrounding supporting facilities are very poor, and it is mostly used by rich people for holidays and weekend vacations.
While waiting at the police station, Cui Jian searched through his phone and found that the money was still not enough and the ghost was not fierce enough.
……
Because the employer disappeared, this record took more time. It was already four o'clock in the morning when all the record and other formalities were completed. The company sent a car to take Cui Jian and Duanmu back to the city. Duanmu looked tired and didn't say a word along the way. The car first took Cui Jian to the logistics park. Cui Jian got off the car and drove away the car with steel plates allocated by the company.
After getting in the car, Cui Jian turned on his phone, which was in the car. There were seven missed calls, three from Li Ran, three from Ye Lan's secretary, and one from overseas. After calling back, he found that it was Yu Ming. Because of the time difference, he didn't disturb him. Yu Ming said it was okay, just asking Cui Jian if there was anything he needed to buy.
Cui Jian turned on the Bluetooth, drove, and talked to Yu Ming about the house. Hearing that Cui Jian wanted to buy a house, Yu Ming asked for a fair deal and asked for a 2% agency fee of the purchase price.
Cui Jian agreed readily.
Cui Jian's requirements: a house in the city, with a basement, front and back yards, high security level, and strong privacy. He did not have high requirements for the scenery and size of the house. Cui Jian thought that Song Zhongji's new wife's house was good, and Yu Ming told him that the house started at 200 billion. Cui Jian then thought that a house similar to Kim Tae Hee's was barely acceptable, but the road in front of the door was narrow. Yu Ming told Cui Jian that the market value of the house was 100 billion, and there was no market for it.
Yu Ming explained the solution based on the 23 billion: suburban, small to medium-sized apartment, 200 square meters of land, 100 square meters of building, and 100 square meters of open space. Even so, this house must have a fierce ghost, the kind that is particularly good at causing trouble.
Then we can only wait until Yu Ming comes back. It was almost six in the morning when Cui Jian got home. He looked through the refrigerator. He threw away some of the food in the refrigerator, picked out some, and took out eggs and cabbage. He cooked rice porridge, took a shower, changed clothes, put the dirty clothes in the washing machine, fried eggs, and made a spicy cabbage.
Cui Jian happily ate breakfast and went back to sleep. He slept until 3pm when he was woken up by the urge to urinate. After washing up, he took out the frozen meat from the freezer to thaw it, drove to the company, returned the car, the pistol and the bullets. The pistol used in the shootout was confiscated by the police as usual.
Today the company is not peaceful. It is said that the day before yesterday afternoon, the Dayin board of directors, as a shareholder of Dayin Security, proposed to fire Li Ran. The reason is that Li Ran made a mistake in his work, referring to the suggestion of blocking the South Terrace when inspecting the security of Jumu Club.
Dayin Group owns 27% of the shares of its subsidiary Dayin Security and is the second largest shareholder of Dayin Security. The largest shareholder is Ye Lan, who owns 51% of the shares of Dayin Security.
The dismissal notice was delivered to Li Ran, but he ignored it and told the CEO of Dayin Group that only Ye Lan could fire him. The CEO and the lawyer explained the terms of Li Ran's contract, saying that Li Ran's work had caused huge losses to the client, and if Li Ran did not accept the dismissal, he would have to resign. There was no compensation for resigning.
Li Ran replied: If you don’t disappear within 10 seconds, I will have someone throw you out.
Then the CEO and the lawyer were really thrown out, but they really had no choice. As a small company for Ye Lan to practice, the personnel and administrative rights were all in Ye Lan's hands. Although Ye Lan's general assistant was acting on behalf of Ye Lan, he also refused to fire Li Ran. However, as a group company, they had the right to expel Dayin Security from the group building.
Ye Lan returned to Hancheng from Canada overnight, and had a fight with the president in the group's high-level meeting yesterday morning. Ye Wen, as the chairman, did not express any opinion. Due to Ye Lan's tough attitude, the two sides finally reached an agreement that Ye Lan would acquire 27% of the group's shares, leave the group, and move out of the group building within three months.
After the meeting, Ye Lan met with Li Ran immediately and completed the site selection for the new office in the afternoon. Then Ye Lan arranged for the general assistant to meet privately with Nangong of Hancheng Security, preparing to use Nangong's excellent computer technology to rebuild the network system away from Dayin Group.
On that day, many security guards and logistics staff who were originally affiliated with Dayin Security submitted transfer applications. Ye Lan approved all of them. They will return to Dayin Group's Human Resources Department and wait for job assignments.
After a day's hard work, the small but sophisticated framework of Dayin Security was completed. Currently, Dayin Security has only four security guards responsible for the company's operations, six financial, front desk and administrative staff, and one firearms custody specialist.
There were 4 bodyguards, namely Duanmu, Li Ran, Cui Jian and Diudiu. Ye Lan was very generous and changed the original 4:6 split to 3:7. She also personally called Cui Jian several times, but because Cui Jian's phone was turned off, she was never able to contact him.
Late last night, Ye Lan held a meeting with the logistics staff. There were no major problems with the administrative, financial and logistics staff. They would recruit people when needed, and the company could barely maintain operations. The biggest problem was the legal department. As an employee of Dayin Security, everyone knew that Cui Jian was a killer and a bad luck god. He was called a bad luck god because Cui Jian encountered the most dangers during security missions. He was called a killer because Cui Jian could always fight his way out. Without a strong legal department to back him up, the bodyguards could not be protected.
An employee suggested that instead of maintaining a long-term cooperative relationship with a law firm, it would be better to rely on a big company. This refers to the legal departments of the three major groups.
This morning, Ye Lan and Ye Wen met privately, hoping to retain the cooperation between the company and the group's legal department. Ye Wen was impartial and asked Ye Lan to negotiate with the president. As the chairman, it was not easy for him to directly intervene in the operation of the group. Ye Wen did not dislike Ye Lan, and he also hoped that Ye Lan could persevere in the difficult situation. Unfortunately, the president was angry because of what happened yesterday, and Ye Lan's appointment was rescheduled for two months later. Ye Lan blocked the president, but the president kindly said that work matters must be done according to procedures.
Ye Lan didn't know that although Li Di was not a member of Nemo, he was the biggest behind-the-scenes boss of the shelter. Ye Lan contacted Li Di, the president of Jumu Group. Li Di was very enthusiastic about her, but rejected his proposal on the grounds that Jumu's legal department had already established a cooperative relationship with Hancheng Security.
Finally, only the Lin Group was left. Ye Lan was not familiar with the president of the Lin Group, so she could only ask for help from Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye asked her to go directly to the Li family to find Mo Ling. As long as she could convince Mo Ling, it would be equivalent to convincing the Lin Group's legal department, which was equivalent to convincing the president of Lin Group.
When Cui Jian went to see Ye Lan, Ye Lan happened to be going to Li's house. The capable girl asked Cui Jian to accompany her to Li's house while she and Cui Jian talked in the car to save time.
People who are familiar with the two security companies know that although Dayin Security has fewer bodyguards, it has strong combat capabilities and has achieved remarkable results. On the contrary, Hancheng Security is either dead or injured when attacked. With oral accounts and conversations at the dinner table, people gradually came to believe that Dayin Security can only guard against villains and killers, while Hancheng Security can only guard against gentlemen.
The core person who caused such rumors was naturally Cui Jian. Ye Lan wanted to win over Cui Jian, and she had not yet formally thanked Cui Jian for saving Ye Zheng and his mother's life, so she wanted to see Cui Jian as soon as she returned from Canada. Li Ran told Ye Lan that based on his understanding of Cui Jian, money and material thanks were just icing on the cake and would not have the effect of winning him over. Ye Lan asked Li Ran what she should do, and Li Ran said to give him a big red envelope, thank him sincerely, and not restrict his free work attitude.
Li Ran added: He would not go to Hancheng Security anyway. It was not because Cui Jian was worried about being fired from Hancheng Security again, but because he had already remembered the fact that he was fired on his first day at work.
Ye Lan: "Manager Li suggested that the new company's project fee be doubled. What do you think?" Under normal circumstances, Hancheng Security and Dayin Security would take orders together, unless it was a project, specifically asking which company or bodyguard to take the project. Once the premium increases, three types of contracts will appear. The employer can choose a low price or a high price, or a low price or a high price. It is obvious that Ye Lan intends to completely separate from Hancheng Security.
Cui Jian was thinking: Where are we going? Why are you dragging me along? Why are you telling me all this? Why did you have to tell me while we were in the car when we could have just walked?
"How can I see it?" Cui Jian looked at Ye Lan who was staring at him and thought for a long time: "I can see it on my phone."
Ye Lan didn't expect to get this answer. Seeing Cui Jian's stupid answer, she couldn't help laughing. A smear of saliva flew onto Cui Jian's face, and a bubble appeared.
Ye Lan was sweating profusely: He didn't see it, did he? Can I just pretend it didn't happen?
Cui Jian: Wouldn’t it be impolite to wipe it now?
Ye Lan changed the subject: "The salary of security companies is not that high. I need to find a balance. How many bodyguards do I need to have how much logistical support. I decided to go the elite high-priced route, increase the compensation ratio, and increase the project fee. All of this is to attract capable bodyguards to join the company. Hancheng Security has too many bodyguards and their levels are uneven, so they can't provide high-end services. However, we have too few bodyguards and no one is willing to work with us on projects."
Blah blah, Ye Lan explained all her thoughts to Cui Jian.
Cui Jian felt drowsy after listening to this. When Ye Lan finished speaking, Cui Jian perked up: "Boss, what you said is really good."
Ye Lan understood that Cui Jian was not Li Ran. Li Ran was not only strong in his own ability, but also had quite good management skills and had a unique perspective on people and things. But Cui Jian was: I don't watch, I don't listen, I don't talk.
Cui Jian took out a piece of white chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Ye Lan: Please stop talking.
Ye Lan took the chocolate and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time a subordinate gave her a snack. Compared with Cui Jian's mature and strong body, she didn't expect that his heart was still quite childish.
Ye Lan continued: "The location of our new company..."
Cui Jian silently handed over the second piece of chocolate: All for you.
