Game within game: chess player

For two days before the bidding, Ye Fang, Su Long and Xiang Yu kept communicating with domestic parties to discuss details, especially the issue of contacting the tugboat company after the bidding was implemented. This was an urgent issue. However, the matter of the tugboat company had not been finalized until the night before the bidding. Several tugboat companies were contacted either because the hull was too big to be towed, or because the ship was too big to be towed. Even all the tugboat companies in Ukraine had secretly agreed that the ship must be towed in Wa. Ye Fang was severely beaten in the matter of the tugboat Geliang.

In the end, it was He Chaoqiong who came forward to help Ye Fang coordinate a tugboat company on behalf of the He family. From a professional point of view, the price was very fair. He Chaoqiong helped Ye Fang solve a big problem, which made Ye Fang very grateful to He Chaoqiong. Everyone It feels like things have taken another solid step forward.

On the day of the auction, everyone washed up and got up early. Ye Fang was hesitant to participate in the auction because of Kelly's sudden appearance. If he went, he was worried that his appearance would add variables to the auction. If he didn't go, he didn't want to miss this historic moment. He Chaoqiong saw Ye Fang's hesitation and simply said, "Go if you want, wear a mask, and wrap it tightly. Who among the reporters and spectators at the bidding site can recognize you."

Ye Fang nodded and said, "You are right. Then I will go and take a look?"

"Go!" He Chaoqiong encouraged.

"Okay, then go!" Ye Fang said firmly.

However, Ye Fang went as an ordinary person this time, and Xiang Yu was the sole agent of China Entertainment. Although he could not go on stage to sign, Ye Fang was very satisfied as a witness and person who experienced it.

"Are you going?" Ye Fang asked He Chaoqiong.

He Chaoqiong shook his head and said, "I won't go. There are too many media at the scene. If I go, it will easily cause you trouble. I will wait for you to come back at home."

"Okay then." Ye Fang said.

After everyone was ready, they headed towards the Black Sea Shipyard. Unlike Ye Fang's imagination, there was no scene of loud gongs, drums, and firecrackers at the entrance of the Black Sea Shipyard, and there was not even a welcome banner. However, it was obvious that there were many luxury cars, and some reporters were walking into the venue carrying guns and cannons. Of course, there were also some reporters waiting at the door waiting for representatives of China Entertainment to enter.

Ye Fang and Su Long got off the bus early and walked to the shipyard. Ye Fang and Su Long's low-key dress looked very eye-catching in the crowd, which made Ye Fang feel a little uneasy. The two hurriedly walked into the auction hall with the crowd, then found a corner and sat down, waiting patiently for the auction to begin. Ye Fang's eyes kept scanning the crowd to see if Kelly appeared.

But what surprised Ye Fang was that Kelly never showed up from beginning to end, which made Ye Fang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As the representative of China Entertainment, Xiang Yu attracted attention as soon as he entered the venue, and all the guns and short guns were aimed at Xiang Yu. The reporters asked a lot of questions, and Xiang Yu selected some answers to explain the company's construction of gambling boats. determination. At this time, Kelly, who had been paying attention to the entire venue through the surveillance screen, saw the young Xiang Yu and smiled and said, "Why did China Entertainment send a little girl here?"

"Big bosses like Haojiang who engage in ship gambling don't like to be high-profile, and they will definitely not come on such an occasion." A receptionist at the shipyard said with a smile.

Kelly nodded and said nothing, her eyes always paying attention to the changes on the screen. At this time, India's Sanjay and his team also walked into the venue. He originally wanted to use the opportunity of the reporter's interview to promote the company but encountered a cold reception. Obviously At this time, everyone knew that he was just here to run with him, and no one paid any attention to him, which made him feel a little embarrassed and quickly found a place to sit down.

"Brother Ye, Sanjay is also here. This company has been found in China. It is a company that is good at opportunism. It has no serious main business and is about to go bankrupt. But with this money, this company He can come back to life again." Su Long whispered from the side.

Ye Fang snorted coldly, glanced at Sanjay, and said, "We will deal with him after the matter here is settled."

"Don't worry, you can't run away." Su Long replied.

The auction started soon. Dozens of people attending the auction were nervously watching the first auction of the new millennium, hoping to find some interesting news. But what made everyone a little disappointed was that the entire auction process only lasted 10 minutes, and the reserve price was US$2000 million. China Entertainment directly raised the placard, while Sanjay looked at the auctioneer with an indifferent expression as he finally dropped the hammer helplessly. Since the United States did not participate, there were only two actual bidders. Coupled with Sanjay's inaction, this auction was actually an auction by China Entertainment alone.

Everyone made concluding speeches with slight disappointment. Xiang Yu signed the contract with the Black Sea Shipyard on behalf of China Entertainment and paid the money. When the signature pen landed, everyone including Ye Fang and Xiang Yu were present. Everyone was extremely excited, and everyone knew what this meant to China. It meant that China's first step in exploring the deep blue had begun, and a new era was created in Ye Fang's hands.

"Okay!" Ye Fang couldn't help but stand up and applaud loudly, feeling inexplicably excited. Xiang Yu on the stage naturally knew why Ye Fang was so excited, and waved to Ye Fang.

At this time, Kelly, who saw the end of the auction ceremony on the surveillance screen, straightened her clothes, stood up, and said indifferently, "What's the point of being happy about spending 2000 million on a bunch of junk?"

After speaking, Kelly glanced at the screen for the last time and was about to turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and suddenly turned back to look at a figure in the corner. She actually felt that the figure looked familiar. But at this time, Ye Fang was wearing a mask and wrapped it extremely tightly, so Kelly didn't notice anything unusual, she just felt that this person seemed to have been seen somewhere.

After signing the contract, there is another step where the shipyard will take everyone to visit the Wagarian. Ye Fang and Su Long mixed in the crowd and walked towards the Wagarian together. Seeing the steel fortress getting bigger and bigger, Ye Fang felt that his breathing became heavier. Although the Vagliang was rusty at this time, it still gave everyone on the scene a sense of oppression.

Under the leadership of the person in charge of the shipyard engineering department, everyone boarded the Vagliang through the hanging ladder and came to the deck. Xiang Yu, on behalf of China Entertainment, listened to the introduction of the shipyard staff and suddenly interrupted: "Hello, I would like to ask I wonder when the design drawings of this ship can be handed over to us?"

"Design drawings?"

"Yes! If we want to transform this ship into a gambling ship, we must know the hull structure. How can we change it without design drawings?"

"This...the design drawings are not within the scope of the contract handover. I'm sorry about this!"

"Not within the handover range?!" Xiang Yu suddenly raised his voice. At this time, Xiang Yu unconsciously glanced at where Ye Fang was standing, and saw that Ye Fang just shook his head at her.

"Please tell your leader that we must take away this design drawing, otherwise we will not be able to complete the overall transformation of the hull."

Just when Xiang Yu was attacking the worker at the shipyard, another group of people walked over not far away, and they seemed to be visiting the Wagliang. Ye Fang took a closer look and immediately knew who this group of people was.

"I'm sorry, this beautiful lady, I can't hand over the design drawings to you!" The speaker was none other than Horton, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Defense, who was caught by Ye Fang in the basement that night. Among this group of people was Gorman, a rich Russian man. Today, Holden accompanied Gorman to visit the Vaghlian, and happened to run into Ye Fang and his group.

Xiang Yu looked back at Holden, who was in his 50s, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"This is General Horton, our country's Deputy Minister of Defense." Someone introduced next to him.

"Deputy Minister of Defense?!" Xiang Yu was at a loss for words. She never thought that she could meet senior officials of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense here. Xiang Yu was still naturally afraid of dealing with officials. At this time, she couldn't help but look Taking a look at Ye Fang, I hope that Ye Fang can quickly come to the rescue at this time. Now she knows that it is really difficult to deal with these people, and she is especially not good at this kind of communication work.

"When this ship was auctioned, it was just the hull. As a once important military strategic weapon, the design drawings contain too many sensitive contents, including some of our country's military secrets. So I'm sorry, but these cannot be taken away." Holden remained polite at this time and patiently answered Xiang Yu's questions.

At this time, Ye Fang quietly walked up to Xiang Yu and whispered a few words. Xiang Yu seemed to have found a beacon in the sea and said confidently, "I wonder if the cars produced in your country come with instructions when they leave the factory? Even if it is like what Mr. Minister said, There is some sensitive information, but as far as I know, the Vaglian was less than 70.00% completed ten years ago, and all the shipboard weapon systems and engine equipment have been dismantled for sale to foreign countries. Now it is sold for nothing more than a steel Shell. We don’t want any weapons system drawings. As long as the hull design drawings are convenient for us to decorate, can’t we satisfy this requirement?”

Holden was speechless when he heard what Xiang Yu said, while Gorman looked at Ye Fang with a solemn expression. Ye Fang's eyes were so bright that they made him thoughtful.

Ye Fang glanced around and saw that there was no one from the United States here. He whispered a few words to Yu, nodded to Yu, took a step forward, came to Holden and said, "Mr. Minister, if there is no drawing meaning, Now we have to invest a large amount of money, and we are willing to donate this money to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine through you to support national defense construction, what do you think?"

Xiang Yu's voice was not loud and only Holden and Gorman could hear it. Hearing Xiang Yu's statement, Holden's eyes lit up. He pretended to think for a while and nodded and said, "You are quite right." It makes sense, I will think about it." As he said that, Holden looked up at Ye Fang who was standing behind him, then called his assistant over to write down Xiang Yu's contact information, and then the group turned and left.

Xiang Yu returned to Ye Fang and asked, "Do you think he will agree?"

"It should be possible, otherwise he wouldn't consider it." Ye Fang said.

"Then are we going to have to pay more money?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Money is only called money when it is in circulation, otherwise it is just waste paper." Ye Fang said.

After everyone walked around on the Wageliang deck, they got off the ship and walked towards the gate of the shipyard. At this time, Ye Fang no longer avoided anything and strode in the middle of the team. Su Long on the side whispered in Ye Fang's ear, "That Sanjay withdrew as soon as the auction ended, as if he was afraid that we would regret it."

"This kid is a very fast runner. This kind of person specializes in speculation. He naturally knows how to give up when things are good. I guess this kid will leave overnight." Ye Fang said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, I will send someone to stop him now." Su Long said.

Ye Fang shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to deal with him. The most important thing is that we concentrate on taking care of Wagarian's affairs. As for him, if he can escape, the monk cannot escape the temple. When I am free, I will take care of him." Take care of him.”

At this time, Gorman happened to come out of the shipyard building, and the two parties met at the door. Gorman waved to the bodyguards behind him and suddenly surrounded Ye Fang and his group. Xiang Yu's face became fully alert. Only Ye Fang looked at Gorman curiously.

Then Gorman moved his huge body and walked up to Ye Fang, looked at Ye Fang's bright eyes seriously, smiled, and said, "Sir, have we met somewhere?"

"I don't think so." Ye Fang looked at Gorman and said with a smile.

"What's your relationship with her?" Gorman pointed at Ye Fang and then at Xiyu.

"I'm her boss!" Ye Fang said lightly.

"So you are the one who bought the Vagrian?" Gorman said suddenly.

Ye Fang nodded uncertainly.

Gorman laughed and said, "My name is Gorman. I like making friends and gambling. I wonder if you would be interested in having a drink with me?"

Ye Fang raised his eyes and glanced at Gorman's bodyguards around him. Everyone put their right hands in their arms. Obviously everyone had a gun in their hands. He knew that he had to go with Gorman on this trip today. He smiled and said "Well, I like making friends too!"

"If you don't mind, take a car with me. You can bring a translator and a bodyguard." Gorman said solemnly.

"No need, I'll just bring the translator." Ye Fanghun said nonchalantly. Su Long on the side was about to speak but Ye Fang stopped him and said to Su Long, "You can just follow behind. You Xiang Yuzai, it’s okay.”

"Yes, Brother Ye." Only then did Su Long remember that the little girl in front of him also graduated from special operations in the military, but he was usually confused by her straightforward appearance.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt her." At this time, Xiang Yu seemed to have found the value of his existence for the first time.

Gorman's car is a specially built super luxury RV. The entire RV is like a moving fortress, with luxurious decorations and everything you need. Even if there were a few more people in the RV, it wouldn't feel crowded. Gorman brought two bodyguards, and Ye Fang got into the RV with only Xiang Yu.

Then the two convoys slowly left the Black Sea Shipyard.
