"Ye Fang, if you want to build a gambling ship, you wouldn't put your target on a dilapidated aircraft carrier, right? The cost of the transformation will be an astronomical figure. It would be weird if you don't pay to death!" He Chaoqiong secretly scolded Ye Fang. He Chaoqiong walked back and forth in her boudoir in Haojiang. She knew that she could not contact Ye Fang for the time being. Even if she could contact Ye Fang, it was estimated that Ye Fang would not listen to He Chaoqiong.

The only way to stop Ye Fang is to go to Ukraine in person! He Chaoqiong finally stopped.

He Chaoqiong has a resolute and decisive personality, and she is also worried that her father He Hongsheng will stop her, so she has no intention of telling her father to go to Ye Fang, but just goes to Ukraine to relax first.

Early the next morning, He Chaoqiong's private plane took off from Haojiang and headed straight for Ukraine. A few hours later, the plane slowly landed at Kiev International Airport. Despite its small size, Ukraine is home to many super-rich Europeans, not only because Ukraine has a good living and cultural environment, but more importantly, Ukraine is rich in beauties, and each of them is at the Miss World level.

As soon as He Chaoqiong landed on the ground, he frowned when he saw the Ukrainian beauties passing by, and murmured, "Why did you come here?"

"Miss, the car is ready!" the female assistant said respectfully.

He Chaoqiong pushed up her sunglasses out of habit and said, "Let's go!"

Then a huge team of bodyguards and nannies followed He Chaoqiong out of the airport hall. There was a fleet of vehicles parked on the roadside of the airport, including He Chaoqiong's nanny car, special bodyguard cars, and luxury buses housing the nanny and assistant team. This group of people came out of the airport in a high profile, which was very eye-catching, especially the tall and perfect figure of the leader, Chaoqiong Ho, which attracted the attention of many people, including Gorman, a Russian oil tycoon.

Gorman is not only a super rich man in Russia, but also a frequent visitor on the global rich list. Although he is over 50 years old, he has never given up his extravagant life. This time he came to Ukraine not only to discuss business, but also to hunt for novelties and beauty. So when he and He Chaoqiong's private plane landed at the airport and saw such beautiful women as He Chaoqiong, the restless heart in his heart immediately started to move. Then he called his men to follow him immediately to see where He Chaoqiong would stay.

His subordinates had long known about Gorman's hobby and did not dare to neglect it. They quickly led people to follow He Chaoqiong's motorcade.

"Sir, General Horton is waiting for you at Lakeside Manor!" A subordinate said respectfully to Gorman.

Gorman glanced at his men with a sinister and arrogant look, and said with a smile, "I hope General Horton's goods this time are not too rubbish, let's go."

As he spoke, Gorman's motorcade headed towards the lakeside manor, which was the area where Ye Fang's villa was located.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, Ukraine, once the largest arms factory in the Soviet Union, left behind hundreds of millions of tons of various arms. Because there is no war to fight, these arms not only occupy a large number of Ukrainian warehouses and increase storage costs, but more importantly, in the face of these arms that are enough to rearm the armies of countries around the world, if destroyed, it will be an astronomical sum, and the last resort The Ukrainian military privately sells these arms to all parts of the world, especially small African countries, through channels.

The largest arms dealer among them is Gorman. In five years, the Ukrainian military and Gorman have traded arms worth more than 15 billion US dollars, suddenly pushing Gorman to the position of the world's largest arms dealer. Gorman is in the oil business. He can easily transport tons of arms to all parts of the world using oil tankers. Gorman enjoys this kind of business without capital.

Gorman came to Ukraine this time to discuss the quantity and type of the next batch of arms. The person he contacted was General Horton, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, who is responsible for the management of national military equipment. It is expected that the amount of this arms transaction will not be low. at US$2000 million.

What surprised Gorman was that He Chaoqiong was traveling in the lakeside manor. The reason was that He Chaoqiong could not find out where Ye Fang lived so quickly. For He Chaoqiong, he went directly to the most luxurious residential area in Ukraine to settle down. Let’s talk about it later, so the assistant directly finalized a villa in the lakeside manor through an agency in Ukraine. It is not difficult to find Ye Fang in He Chaoqiong's plan, as long as he stays at the door of the Black Sea Shipyard and is not afraid that Ye Fang will not show up.

In this way, by chance, Ye Fang and He Chaoqiong lived in the same manor, and they were not far apart, only a few minutes' walk away.

Ye Fang never imagined that He Chaoqiong would kill him secretly. Early this morning, Xiang Yu went to the shipyard on behalf of Ye Fang to submit the relevant qualifications and instructions for the use of the ship, and signed a contract in accordance with the requirements of the Ukrainian government. The main idea of ​​this contract is that if the ship is bought back, it cannot be used for military purposes. If it is used for military purposes, it will face huge claims from the Ukrainian government. However, those who are familiar with these processes understand that this contract is just a blank piece of paper. If a country has the ability to transform this dilapidated aircraft carrier, it is simply not something that the Ukrainian government can afford. However, out of concern for the United States, Ukraine still Have everyone who bids sign this contract.

After Xiang Yu returned to the villa, Su Long reported to Ye Fang that the area around the villa had been monitored. Although the people monitoring the situation appeared as cleaners or passers-by, these could not be hidden from Su Long's eyes.

"I knew that once this information was uploaded, we would be completely exposed to others' sight." Ye Fang walked to the window, gently moved the curtains to reveal a gap, and saw a cleaning crew on the roadside in the distance. Occasionally, he would look at the villa where Ye Fang was.

"The person in charge in India is named Sanjay. He is very friendly to me and said he would come over to visit you in the evening. I don't know what the purpose is?" Xiang Yu said.

"Night owls come into the house for whatever they want." Ye Fang snorted coldly and closed the curtains.

"Tell everyone to be alert from now on and pay close attention to what's going on around you." Ye Fang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Brother Ye!" Su Long continued, "I see that there are two uninhabited houses near our villa. I can arrange for people to set up observation posts there to expand the surveillance range."

"Okay, let's do it." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"This...should be illegal? It's not appropriate for us to do this. Once the Uzbek police catch him, we will be very passive in diplomacy." Xiang Yu said.

"If people like Su Long can be caught by the Ukrainian police, their people will be thrown into the international arena." Ye Fang smiled and comforted Xiang Yu and said, "It's okay, I have my own sense of proportion!"

"You can do whatever you want. I can't control you anyway." After saying that, Xiang Yu turned around and left Ye Fang's room. Ye Fang smiled helplessly and shook his head. At this time, Ye Fang's satellite phone rang. When he picked it up, he heard it was Zhang Xiuying. Zhang Xiuying patiently asked Ye Fang about her food and accommodation situation, and whether she was used to the life and food there. Ye Fang patiently chatted with Zhang Xiuying for a long time. Being able to hear Zhang Xiuying's care in a foreign country made Ye Fang feel... A kind of happiness that arises leisurely in the heart.

Before Ye Fang's happiness completely subsided, Zhang Xiuying's next news immediately brought Ye Fang back to reality.

"What, you mean she knew I came to Ukraine?" Ye Fang learned from Zhang Xiuying that He Chaoqiong should have known that she was going to Ukraine, and Ye Fang jumped up from his seat in fright.

"Qianqian told me this. I think you know what to do next." Zhang Xiuying said.

"Okay, Aunt Ying, I know what to do, please take good care of yourself." After saying that, Ye Fang hung up the phone. Ye Fang stood there for a long time, thinking from his perspective. If you were He Chaoqiong, how would you react when you learned that you suddenly went to Ukraine to buy a gambling boat?

Ye Fang's mind was running rapidly, and suddenly Ye Fang opened his eyes wide and said slowly, "Isn't this aunt just coming to Ukraine to kill her?"

Thinking of this, Ye Fang quickly walked out of the room and knocked on Xiang Yu's room. Xiang Yu saw Ye Fang and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Use your channels to check for me. Are there any flights from Haojiang to Ukraine last night and today? Get me the flight list too!" Ye Fang said solemnly.

When Xiang Yu saw Ye Fang's serious expression, his expression became serious and he asked, "Is it related to boat gambling?"

"Well, hurry up!" Ye Fang said.

"Okay, wait for my news." Xiang Yu replied.

Ten minutes later, Xiang Yu found Ye Fang and handed him a piece of paper. Ye Fang looked at the contents on the paper and sighed, "This woman is still fast!"

"Who is this woman?" Xiang Yu asked curiously.

"You don't know her?" Ye Fang asked.

"Do I have to know her?" Xiang Yu asked with his eyes wide open.

Ye Fang was stunned by this question, nodded, and said in a serious tone, "It's normal that you don't know her. She is the eldest daughter of the gambling king of Haojiang, He Chaoqiong."

"She's also here to compete for gambling boats?" Xiang Yu asked urgently.

"Maybe, maybe there are other purposes." Ye Fang turned to look at Xiang Yu and asked, "Can you find out where she lives?"

Xiang Yu took out another piece of paper and handed it to Ye Fang. Ye Fang looked at it and said in surprise, "You actually live in the lakeside manor?! What a coincidence!" He glanced at Xiang Yu and asked, "What else did you find out? Come, bring it to me together."

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "No, that's all."

Ye Fang rolled his eyes at Xiang Yu and said angrily, "If your ability to do things could be shared with people who are more sophisticated, you would be even better." After saying that, Ye Fang bypassed Xiang Yu and went to Su Long to discuss the evening's affairs, "Hey, What do you mean by this? Please make it clear!" Xiang Yu's voice came from behind, but Ye Fang ignored it.

Ye Fang knew that He Chaoqiong wanted to surprise or scare him, but he didn't know who gave it to whom.

In the afternoon, Xiang Yu reported that Sanjay from the Indian company came to visit Ye Fang. Ye Fang murmured, "I'm finally here. I want to see what your plans are."

What surprised Ye Fang was that Sanjay brought an assistant and his translator. Sanjay is just like those Indian businessmen Ye Fang saw on TV. He is in his 40s, tall, with good facial features, especially his body that smells like curry.

What surprised Ye Fang was that Sanjay actually knew a little bit of Chinese. There was no problem with a simple conversation. The two parties sat down after greeting each other. Sanjay spoke very directly, not so roundly, and said directly, "Mr. Xu, I came to see you this time to bid jointly with you?"

"Jointly bid?" Ye Fang raised his eyebrows, not understanding what kind of medicine Sanjay was selling in his gourd.

"To tell you the truth, I have no interest in this broken ship at all. I estimate that the shipping cost of towing this ship from here to our country is at least 5000 million U.S. dollars." Sanjay smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It will take us The company can't even pay a fraction of the shipping fee even if it sells ten round trips. But you are different. As far as I know, you want to open a casino in Haojiang and use it as a gambling ship. Once this ship is towed back to Haojiang, it will definitely become the center of the entire Asia. The largest and most luxurious gambling ship! Then the shipping fee will be earned back in minutes."

"Mr. Sanjay, please state your request directly." Ye Fang interrupted Sanjay directly.

Sanjay was slightly embarrassed, but it passed quickly and continued, "What I mean is very simple. I will serve as your companion to bid for the gambling boat and cover you to achieve your goal."

Ye Fang nodded and asked, "Isn't this free?"

Sanjay smiled softly, without feeling any shame at all, and said directly, "I have only one request. You pay my deposit of 200 million US dollars. If you succeed in bidding in the end, 200 million US dollars will be my reward. You Is it okay to watch?”

Hearing Sanjay's condition, Xiang Yu almost kicked him. This was clearly a threat and a waste of money. You don't pay a penny, just accompany the bid, and you can get 200 million US dollars for nothing. Is there such a good deal in the world?

"Mr. Sanjay, do you think we are fools?" Xiang Yu saw that Ye Fang had not spoken for a long time and seemed to be considering the conditions proposed by Sanjay. She couldn't help but cursed.

"Miss Xiang, don't be angry. We are talking about business, why should we be angry? There is an old Chinese saying that business cannot be done without justice!" Sanjay continued, not feeling ashamed but proud, "If you don't agree, , then the worst I can do is invest my own money to participate in the bidding. I don’t mind the final transaction price of this ship being more than 800 million yuan.”

"You——" Xiang Yu was so angry that he almost cursed.

Ye Fang stretched out his hand to call Su Long over and asked him to take Xiang Yu out directly. After all, it was too shameful for Xiang Yu to yell here. Ye Fang had already made up his mind not to let this woman stay here when talking about things in the future. It would be too much trouble.

"Mr. Xu, you look like you are in big business. What do you think of my suggestion?" Sanjay always looked polite.

Ye Fang finally nodded and said, "I think Mr. Sanjay's cooperation plan is very valuable. I wish our cooperation a success!" As Ye Fang stood up, Sanjay also quickly stood up and shook Ye Fang's hand. together.

"The cooperation was successful!" Sanjay said with a smile.

"Mr. Sanjay, I am the most honest person in life and business. If you can do it, I will definitely do it. If you can't do it, I can't guarantee what will happen in the future." Although Ye Fang He said it with a smile, but the murderous intent in the smile made Sanjay shudder.

Sanjay's expression changed, he forced out a smile and said, "Of course, of course! I understand! I will definitely do it!"

"That's good! Butler, see the guests off!" Ye Fangchong said to the steward in a deep voice.

Watching Sanjay walk out of the door of the villa, Ye Fang snorted coldly, took a wet towel from Su Long, wiped his right hand carefully, as if there was something dirty on it, and then said slowly, "Check for me. Know Sanjay’s background.”

"Yes!"
