"Zhou Kai is responsible for the group's real estate development, including Defang Real Estate and Lin's Real Estate, as well as part of the real estate business of Shanghai Wang Group."

"Zhuoyi, in addition to being in charge of the group's real estate sales company, you are also in charge of the property group."

Zhou Kai and Gu Zhuoyi were also very happy after hearing what Ye Fang said.

"Mr. Ye, how do you manage the company in Liangjiang?" Cai Xiaoling asked.

"The companies in Liangjiang are all new and are not yet on track. You can take charge of them for the time being. As for the Jiuding Group, I will be in charge." Ye Fang said. So far, Ye Fang only used a small meeting to complete the first adjustment of the group structure. , then Ye Fang and Cai Xiaoling said, "Then documents will be issued in the name of the group, and job responsibilities and quantitative assessments will be done at the same time. It is still necessary to emphasize that institutions other than Junhe Insurance will no longer expand before the end of the year and will make every effort to consolidate the existing company's business. "

"Yes, Mr. Ye!" everyone replied.

Just when Ye Fang was in the meeting, Ye Fang's phone suddenly rang. When Ye Fang picked up the phone, he heard that it was Miyagi. It turned out that Wan Tianyuan begged Miyagi to bring him to see Ye Fang and apologize to Ye Fang in person. Ye Fang thought it was unnecessary, but Wan Tianyuan refused. In addition to apologizing to Ye Fang, he also wanted to sell Lehua Entertainment to Ye Fang. This was also considered a business cooperation. Ye Fang couldn't shirk it, so he asked Miyagi and Wan Tianyuan came directly to the group headquarters to talk, and then Ye Fang told Leng Chuan to go downstairs and pick up the two Miyagis.

Ye Fang continued the meeting, and several people reorganized the group's business. Some unresolved matters were resolved directly while Ye Fang was in the group. About an hour later, Leng Chuan brought Miyagi and Wan Tianyuan to Ye Fang's office. At this time, the executive meeting was basically over.

"Mr. Zhou?!" Wan Tianyuan suddenly saw Zhou Kai and quickly stepped forward and held Zhou Kai's hand. Zhou Kai was also surprised. He didn't expect to see Wan Tianyuan here. Zhou Kai's Defang Real Estate has business dealings with companies under Wan Tianyuan. Many of Tianyuan Group's real estate businesses are contracted from Defang Real Estate. To put it bluntly, part of Tianyuan Group's business relies on Defang Real Estate.

"Dr. Wan, why are you here?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Zhou Kai, do you know Boss Wan?" Ye Fang asked.

"Well, Mr. Ye, the German side has a lot of business dealings with Tianyuan Group." Zhou Kai said truthfully.

"Mr. Zhou, you and Mr. Ye..." Wan Tianyuan saw that Zhou Kai didn't seem to be here to discuss business.

"Mr. Ye is my boss, and I work for Mr. Ye." Zhou Kai said with a smile.

"Ah -" Wan Tianyuan was shocked in his heart. Zhou Kai's German Real Estate can be regarded as a real party of Tianyuan Group. The business sold to Tianyuan Group in the past six months was calculated in billions. Now Wan Tianyuan knows that Ye Fang's power is basically It's not something you can shake. Fortunately, Wan Tianyuan is a veteran who has been in society for many years. He smiled and replied, "I'm here to talk about cooperation with Mr. Ye. Talk about cooperation."

"Oh, then you can talk to Mr. Ye. Let's have tea another day." After Zhou Kai said that, he followed Bi Xingfa and others out of Ye Fang's office. Gu Zhuoyi seemed to want to say a few words to Ye Fang alone, but I found that apart from work, the two of them didn't have much in common, so they finally left the office with the others.

"Sit down." Ye Fang reached out and gestured to Wan Tianyuan, but Miyagi did not sit down with Wan Tianyuan. He now regarded Ye Fang as his boss, so he directly started serving tea and water.

Ye Fang didn't say anything, and everything seemed to be taken for granted, but Wan Tianyuan was quite surprised.

"Boss Ye, the child's matter..."

Before Wan Tianyuan could finish speaking, Ye Fang waved his hand to stop Wan Tianyuan and said, "The matter with your noble master is over. As long as he doesn't disturb the normal operations of Times Media anymore. And I heard Miyagi say, Do you want to sell Lehua Entertainment?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye. To tell you the truth, this entertainment company has been a blood transfusion of the group over the years, and it really doesn't make much money. It is not an exaggeration to describe my son's state as being lost in playthings. A few years ago, I wanted to have fun. My son disagrees with selling Hua. But this time I think if he is still allowed to run this company, he will definitely get into trouble. If I can meet Mr. Ye this time, you have a lot of money and will not pursue it. What about next time? ?So this time I made up my mind to sell Lehua Entertainment. I know that Times Media is currently in a period of expansion. With Lehua Entertainment, Times Media’s expansion will be greatly accelerated. As for the purchase price, it is easy to negotiate." Wan Tianyuan After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Fang and quietly waited for Ye Fang's reply.

Wan Tianyuan has almost the same idea as Li Jingshan of Wynn Media. Entertainment companies are a typical resource-based industry. The biggest asset is celebrity artists, followed by channel promotion resources. The first-line artists that Lehua Entertainment has worked so hard to cultivate have been poached by Miao Qianqian and the others, which is equivalent to killing Lehua Entertainment. I don't know how much investment it would take to cultivate another first-line artist, so Wan Tianyuan now wants to get rid of this blood-sucking monster.

"Miyagi, I don't know much about Dong Wan's Lehua Entertainment. What do you think?" Ye Fang turned to ask Miyagi. This is the good thing about letting Wan Tianyuan remember Miyagi.

Miyagi glanced at Wan Tianyuan and said unhurriedly, "Mr. Wan is a typical person who hopes that his son will succeed. In the past few years, Mr. Wan has focused all his attention on Lehua Entertainment. Not to mention the management is not good, but Tianyuan Group Bearing a lot of cash transfusion pressure. Since Wan Dong wants to transfer Lehua Entertainment, Mr. Ye might as well take the opportunity and acquire Lehua. Now Lehua still has some second- and third-tier artists. Times Media is now very popular in the entertainment market and wants to It’s just a matter of time before Lehua Entertainment takes over, and this can be considered a strong alliance.”

After Miyagi finished speaking, Wan Tianyuan immediately cast a grateful look at Miyagi.

"Okay, as the saying goes, listen to others and eat enough, then I will agree to acquire Lehua Entertainment on behalf of Times Media." Ye Fang said directly.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye." Wan Tianyuan thanked him.

In the end, Ye Fang and Wan Tianyuan negotiated and completed the acquisition of Lehua Entertainment by exchanging shares for funds according to the model of acquiring Wynn Media, which surprised Wan Tianyuan. Now Wan Tianyuan has the same mentality as Li Jingshan at the time. He gave the company to Ye Fang. If he takes shares, the cooperation can be closer. Then Ye Fang called Cai Xiaoling to go through the process. Cai Xiaoling said dissatisfiedly in front of Wan Tianyuan, "Boss, didn't you just finish the meeting and say that the company will no longer expand? Why are you acquiring another company now?"

Ye Fang blushed and immediately said, "There is no cash transaction this time. Besides, it is just a process and will be handed over directly to Times Media for management."

"Okay." Cai Xiaoling just complained. As an employee, she could only obey orders.

Wan Tianyuan and Cai Xiaoling then communicated the specific details. Miyagi was left alone in the office. Ye Fang motioned for Miyagi to sit down, and then said directly, "I saw Ye Chengan."

"Have you seen him?" Miyagi did not expect that Ye Fang would see Ye Chengan so soon.

Ye Fang nodded slightly and said, "I have told him to come to me, and I will talk to him directly then."

"But I haven't found the information about the other eight partners yet." Miyagi said directly.

"It's normal that you can't find him in such a short time. I'll let Ye Chengan tell me this in person." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"If you need anything from me, just give it to me directly," Miyagi said.

"When I finish talking to Ye Chengan, you can go back first." Ye Fang said.

"Yes." Miyagi then stood up and left Ye Fang's office, and then left the International Financial Center with Wan Tianyuan.

On the way back in the car, Wan Tianyuan took out a check of 50 and handed it to Miyagi to express his gratitude. Miyagi accepted the check without any hesitation. For Wan Tianyuan, Miyagi's words were far away. It's much more valuable than this 50.

Ye Fang spent this day at the company, and even had lunch delivered to the office by Cai Xiaoling. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Leng Chuan came over to call Ye Fang and said it was time to set off.

Ye Fang looked at the time and nodded, "Let's go."

Leng Chuan took Ye Fang straight to the outskirts of the capital, and his destination was the first prison in the capital. Different from the second prison where Ye Fang is detained, most of the prisoners in the first prison are economic criminals or job criminals. To put it bluntly, the prisoners detained here are either rich or noble. Although that is all in the past tense, it is also a status symbol in the No. [-] Prison. There were once many criminals worth hundreds of millions or even billions. The officials in custody all started from department-level cadres.

Haidong had already contacted Ye Fang in advance. When Leng Chuan drove to the prison office area, there were already people waiting at the gate.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, my name is Li Shuang, and I am the warden of the third prison district. Brother Dong has already explained the matter. Come with me."

Ye Fang asked Leng Chuan to wait in the car while he followed Li Shuang towards the depths of the prison, passing several iron gates in succession. Ye Fang came to a place similar to a reception room. Li Shuang told Ye Fang to wait a moment and someone would be there shortly.

Fifteen minutes later, the iron door was pushed open, and the guard came in with a woman with white hair. Ye Fang thought he had seen it wrong, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was Sister Xia. At this time, Sister Xia seemed to have aged 15 years. Her original black hair was now all gray, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible even in the dimly lit living room.

"Ye Fang? It's really you!" Sister Xia grabbed Ye Fang's hand and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.

Ye Fang looked at Sister Xia, who was once a woman, and sighed. He helped Sister Xia sit down across from each other at the reception table. The guard stood aside and said in a deep voice, "You have half an hour." After saying this, the guard turned around. Went out.

"Sister Xia, why have you aged so much all of a sudden?" Ye Fang felt a little distressed when he looked at Sister Xia.

"Hey. Don't you know what's going on here? So what if we have good food and good housing." Sister Xia said with a wry smile.

"I will ask someone to arrange the best conditions for you. No matter what, you must eat well and live comfortably." Ye Fang said.

"Everything is fine here. Tell me about you. What tricks have you gotten up to after such a long time? You know you are a restless person." Sister Xia asked.

"There are many things." Then Ye Fang told Sister Xia everything that happened in the past half year. Sister Xia listened with great interest. Because of the limited time, Ye Fang only focused on the key points, and finally dropped the topic overseas. Above the South African oil fields. Ye Fang told Sister Xia his thoughts, and Sister Xia also understood Ye Fang's future ideas, nodded and said, "I will leave the oil field to your management, I am relieved. As for the construction of the oil storage base you mentioned , I think you can rent it in the early stage. After all, the investment in building an oil storage base is huge, and it is not cost-effective at least for now. You can build it while storing oil. Now many state-owned and private enterprises have oil storage sites that can be rented out. I know someone who may be able to Help you."

"Who?" Ye Fang asked.

"His name is Li Jingshan." Sister Xia said.

"Li Jingshan?! Is it Li Jingshan from United Petrochemical?" Ye Fang asked.

"Do you know him?" Sister Xia asked curiously.

"That's right, I bought a company from him a while ago." Ye Fang said.

"That's OK. As far as I know, Unipec built an oil storage base two years ago that can be rented out. Although it is not big, it is definitely enough for the initial stage." Sister Xia said.

"Okay, I'll contact him when I get back." Ye Fang said.

At this time, the guard came in and said, "It's time."

"Go back quickly, sister, thank you for coming to see me." Sister Xia's eyes were slightly red and she said while holding Ye Fang's hand.

"Sister Xia, I will come to see you often, and I will make arrangements for you here. Relax and everything will be fine. I'll wait for you to come out," Ye Fang said.

"Okay, thank you!" Sister Xia said with tears.

Ye Fang met Li Shuang again after coming out of prison. Ye Fang said to Li Shuang, "Brother, please help me adjust the prison area for her so that she can have good food and housing."

Li Shuang agreed without thinking, "I will go through the procedures to adjust her to the first ward as soon as possible. Don't worry."

"Thank you!" Ye Fang then took out a business card and handed it to Li Shuang and said, "This is my business card. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Li Shuang took the gold-gilt business card handed over by Ye Fang, carefully put it away, and then watched Ye Fang leave. Then Li Shuang immediately called Haidong and said, "Brother Dong, he has left."

"Okay, whatever requirements he has, just try to satisfy them within your scope of authority." Haidong said.

"I know, Brother Dong." Li Shuang said.

"Okay, that's it." Haidong then hung up the phone.

On the way back, Ye Fang directly called Zhao An and said, "Second brother, help me make an appointment with Li Jingshan of United Petrochemical. I want to see him tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with him right away."

"I'll wait for him in Xiyuan tomorrow morning."

"okay, I get it."

The next day, just after Ye Fang finished breakfast, Zhao An and Li Jingshan came to Xiyuan. Li Jingshan didn't know why Ye Fang suddenly wanted to see him. When he asked Zhao An, Zhao An didn't know why Ye Fang wanted to see Li Jingshan.
