Xiang Yu has been spying on the Japanese consulting company for the past few days and personally followed Yasuda, the company's biggest boss. After three days of non-stop work, Xiang Yu finally discovered that Yasuda always goes to the same place at three o'clock every afternoon. This place is Located in a factory in downtown Taipei. Externally, this factory is a company that produces and processes Japanese-style beef. The entire company includes slaughtering, cutting, storage and sales. At first, Xiang Yu didn't think about other places, but Yasuda came to the factory on time every day, which aroused Xiang Yu's suspicion.

One night Xiang Yu sneaked into the company and found a secret place in the company's beef processing workshop. It was an independent space located underground in the company and should be similar to a bomb shelter.

Xiang Yu had received special agent-level training in lurking disguises in China. She found a factory work uniform and easily sneaked into this space, and found that this space was actually a secret base set up by the Japanese government. It should be similar to the information collection center in Taiwan. It has huge information collection and analysis capabilities. The most important thing is that Xiang Yu also discovered a place where unknown persons are detained here.

It's just that this place is very tightly defended. Unless Xiang Yu leads an attack, there's no way he can get in. Xiang Yuqiang suppressed his urge to go in and check it out and withdrew from the company.

"Are you saying that your third brother Xiang Rong may be detained here?" Ye Fang asked.

"Well, I think it's very possible." Xiang Yu said solemnly.

"If we go in, we will most likely have to attack by force. But if we don't find your third brother by force, we have to prepare to evacuate, otherwise we will most likely not be able to get out of Taipei." Ye Fang said. Now Ye Fang is not only thinking about Xiang Rong, but also about investing in establishing a company in Taipei and investing in TSMC. He has to find a way to rescue Xiang Rong without letting this matter affect his business layout in Taiwan. , otherwise one billion US dollars of his own may be wasted, at least he, a South African conglomerate, cannot fail here.

"Ten thousand steps back. Even if your third brother is imprisoned here, we still have to consider how to leave after being rescued. And you must be clear. If you go in and find that your third brother is not there, everyone must evacuate. .Do you understand?" Ye Fang said, staring into Xiang Yu's eyes.

"I understand." Xiang Yu nodded.

"This is not the time to act on impulse." Ye Fang said.

"Then when can we take action?" Xiang Yu asked.

"You discuss the plan with Leng Chuan. In two days I will leave Taipei for South Africa, and then from South Africa to Russia. That day is when we leave here. Your third brother will leave regardless of whether you can rescue him or not. If found There is no third brother in there, and you can't act without authorization. Then you can wait until you return to Taipei for a while before looking for an opportunity, understand?" Ye Fang said.

"I understand!" Xiang Yu nodded again.

At this time, Su Yue knocked on the door and came in. Xiang Yu slowly turned his head to Su Yue and asked with an unkind expression, "Who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Su Yue." Su Yue said with a smile.

"This is Su Yue, the future person in charge of the company in Taipei." Ye Fang said.

"Why are the people in charge of you all women, but beautiful women?" Xiang Yu's tone was extremely aggressive. After Xiang Yu said this, both Su Yue and Su Yue looked at him with the same eyes. Ye Fang.

Ye Fang blushed and rushed to Yu and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Su is a native of Taipei and graduated from a well-known overseas university. I... specially recruited him to be the person in charge of the Taipei company. You have nothing to do here, go." Call your elder brother and inform him of the situation."

Xiang Yu rolled his eyes at Ye Fang, then looked at Su Yue with a wary look, and said, "Be careful, he is not a good person... Oh! Why are you pushing me... Hey - Ye Fang, you asshole!"

Xiang Yu was pushed out of the room by Ye Fang, and then said to Su Yue sheepishly, "Don't listen to the little girl talking nonsense, her big brother has spoiled her."

"Does she like you too?" Su Yue said suddenly.

"What, she likes me? Stop making trouble, she is just a child in my eyes, at best, she is my best friend's sister." Ye Fang obviously did not agree with Su Yue's statement.

Su Yue didn't argue with Ye Fang, and just said, "I don't mind an excellent man who is loved by all women. But I don't understand why she called you Ye Fang? Shouldn't it be Ye Nanfang, or should it be more intimately called Nanfang?" "

Ye Fang said casually, "People who are very close to me will call me this name. It's just a code name."

"Then I will call you Ye Fang from now on." Su Yue said with a smile.

"Okay, do whatever you want." Ye Fang was still thinking about Su Yue's words at this time. Does that little girl Xiang Yu really like him? Probably not. Ye Fang vowed that he would never provoke any woman again. His world really couldn't bear too many emotions.

At this time, Su Yue said, "By the way, Zhang Mingyuan from Uni-President Enterprise wants to see you, shall I see you or not?"

"See you, of course I will," Ye Fang replied.

"Okay, then I'll ask him to meet at the hotel in the evening." Su Yue said.

That night, Zhang Mingyuan came to the private room of the hotel and saw Ye Fang and Su Yue mentioned by Zhang Zhongmou.

"Miss Su?" Zhang Mingyuan obviously knew Su Yue.

Su Yuechong smiled at Zhang Mingyuan and nodded, and said, "Hello, Director Zhang! I am now the person in charge of Jiangshan Holdings, a subsidiary of Mr. Ye Group. In the future, I will fully handle the company's affairs on behalf of Mr. Ye."

Zhang Mingyuan met Su Yue at a business banquet at Tianlun Dynasty Nightclub, but Su Yue impressed Zhang Mingyuan deeply in terms of temperament and conversation. It's just that there are many legends about Su Yue in the Tianlun Dynasty. Whether they are the woman of a gangster brother or an intellectual woman with overseas higher education, Zhang Mingyuan thinks that it is all a kind of hype. The reason why Su Yue is unwilling to come forward is just because of kindness. The customer didn't pay enough.

Zhang Mingyuan is a self-made industrialist. From the bottom of his heart, he looks down on women like Su Yue. He thinks that most of them are good and beautiful but lose their appearance. It's just that Su Yue's conversation is a little special. But to say that such a woman can manage and operate. Zhang Mingyuan would never believe in a good company.

Therefore, when Zhang Mingyuan saw Ye Fang, he immediately thought that Su Yue must have fallen in love with Ye Fang. If this was the case, Ye Fang's impression in Zhang Mingyuan's heart dropped a lot. This also made Zhang Mingyuan preconceptions that people like Ye Fang were He didn't have the ability to plan a sniper attack on the Taiwan stock market. Now he suddenly felt that it might be a mistake to rush to see Ye Fang.

But now that he was sitting opposite Ye Fang, Zhang Mingyuan could only continue the conversation.

Zhang Mingyuan knew that Zhang Zhongmou had reached a US$[-] billion equity merger agreement with Ye Fang, and also knew about Ye Fang’s relationship with South Africa. Although this relationship has yet to be confirmed, this does not prevent Zhang Mingyuan from reaching out to Ye Fang with goodwill. Have a serious talk. Mainly to test Ye Fang's determination to acquire the unified enterprise, and secondly to see if it is possible to achieve another level of cooperation with Ye Fang.

Su Yue obviously didn't catch Zhang Mingyuan's eyes. He just nodded symbolically to Su Yue and then sat down opposite Ye Fang.

"Mr. Ye, I heard from TSMC Director Zhang that you are very interested in our unified enterprise. I would like to ask if there is anything wrong?"

Ye Fang looked at Zhang Mingyuan's test and said directly, "Yes, I am raising funds to acquire Uni-President Enterprise."

Is it so direct? ! This was the first time that Zhang Mingyuan saw Ye Fang stealing other people's things so directly.

"I wonder how much funds Mr. Ye is planning to mobilize?" Zhang Mingyuan believed that these figures were too sensitive and Ye Fang should not disclose them. Who would have thought that Ye Fang would directly reply, "The first phase of funding is US$20 billion, the second phase of funding is US$[-] billion, and as for the third phase, it depends on the acquisition situation."

Zhang Mingyuan smiled almost mockingly when he heard Ye Fang's words, and said, "Mr. Ye, do you think that by gathering these billions of dollars, you can acquire Uni-President Enterprises? Don't say whether these funds are enough, you may not know that Uni-President Enterprises is a family The Zhang family has absolute control over the enterprise, and it is not something you can just acquire if you want."

"I know." Ye Fang nodded.

"It's really unwise to do something you know you can't do." Zhang Mingyuan said.

Ye Fang smiled and said, "Director Zhang, I admit that I am very optimistic about the future development of Uni-President Enterprise. I know your assets and trump cards very well. But you don't know my trump card very well. Uni-President Enterprise has been in the food industry for 30 years. Many years, but I tell you that as long as I am willing, it will take me up to three months to start everything from scratch for your unified enterprise."

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said these three words.

"You don't believe it?" Ye Fang said with a sneer on his lips, "I know that Uni-President Enterprise opened up the mainland market two years ago. It was also from that year that Uni-President Enterprise officially entered the fast lane of development. Every year, the mainland's operations It accounts for more than 60.00% of the total revenue of Uni-President Enterprises, and this proportion is still growing. This is something that can’t be helped. After all, the mainland market is too broad, and it is simply not comparable to Taiwan’s small country. Therefore, the current mainland market It’s one of your Achilles’ heel.”

"So what?" Zhang Mingyuan's expression gradually became serious. Obviously, he did not expect that a South African could understand his company so well. Obviously, he was definitely prepared.

"Your second Achilles' heel is your competitor, Master Kong. In three months, I can make Uni-President completely lose the mainland market, and then I can join forces with Master Kong, one using the power of capital, the other using industrial competition, to completely annex the entire continent. market and drive Uni-President out of Taiwan. As an industry that started in the food industry, if mainland officials issue a report on harmful substances for your instant noodles and other products, do you think your company will still have a market in the future?" Ye Fang relaxed Said freely.

"You -" Zhang Mingyuan began to shed beads of sweat on his forehead, but it passed quickly and sneered, "If it were in South Africa, I believe Mr. Ye might have the ability to block the market, but I don't believe you can cover it up with just one hand in the mainland." sky!"

"Of course, I can't stretch my hand that far. But I want to tell you one thing, Russia is working on a shore-to-shore energy agreement."

"So what! What does this have to do with you?" Zhang Mingyuan asked.

"I forgot to tell you that the oil fields that are Russia's main energy output belong to my eldest brother Gorman. I believe he added a clause in the negotiation agreement to expel a Taiwanese private enterprise from the mainland market. This shouldn't be a difficult thing to do. After all, a country's Petroleum energy security is far more important than a company that produces instant noodles, don't you think?" Ye Fang asked, staring at Zhang Mingyuan with burning eyes.

Zhang Mingyuan's chest heaved violently. He had to admit that what Ye Fang said was completely possible, but it was all based on the premise that Ye Fang really had the eldest brother of the oil tycoon and the second brother of the South African president. If there is no such thing, then Ye Fang is just pulling the skin of a tiger. At this time, Zhang Mingyuan has the same idea as Zhang Zhongmou, that is, he is worried that Ye Fang is bluffing and is inevitably suspected of being a white wolf.

A little impatience will ruin the big plan. You can't break up with Ye Fang at this time, otherwise there will be no room for change. Zhang Mingyuan began to think about the second plan in his mind. He saw Zhang Mingyuan exhaled deeply, smiled pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Mr. Ye, harmony will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. I don't think Mr. Ye doesn't understand the principle of harmony making money." Understand, instead of fighting and losing both sides, it is better to cooperate in another way. Since Mr. Ye values ​​​​the unified enterprise so much, how about I propose an intermediate plan?"

"Please tell me." Ye Fang said.

"According to the current market value of Uni-President, how about you pay [-] million US dollars, and I am willing to transfer [-]% of the shares and give you a seat on the board of directors?" Zhang Mingyuan gave a plan that was relatively fair at least for now. But it was only limited to this point in time, because the market value of Uni-President Enterprises had shrunk significantly a year later. Zhang Mingyuan was deeply grateful that his decision to join Ye Fang was correct.

But he didn't expect that Ye Fang secretly increased his shareholding in Uni-President Enterprises, which almost caused Zhang Mingyuan to lose control of Uni-President Enterprises.

"Ten percent is a bit low. Based on TSMC's investment, I will suffer a big loss. I will propose a plan, which is still 20.00 million US dollars. I want to unify [-]% of the company's shares." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"This is impossible! It's too high!" Zhang Mingyuan rejected it without thinking, then gritted his teeth and said, "Maximum 15.00%, no more."

Ye Fang glanced at Su Yue. Su Yue's eyes could not conceal the surprise. Su Yue said directly, "Director Zhang's plan is fair. I think it is okay."

"Since Mr. Su thinks it's okay, I have no objection." Ye Fang said calmly, spreading his hands.

"I have three conditions." Zhang Mingyuan felt that he had to bite Ye Fang hard at this time, so he directly put forward the conditions.

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!" Ye Fang looked indifferent.

"First, I need Mr. Ye to help me open up the market in South Africa and even the entire Africa."

"can."

"Second, if Uni-President encounters something that cannot be solved in the mainland market, Mr. Ye cannot sit idly by." Zhang Mingyuan meant that Ye Fang had to use resources when they should.

"can."

"Thirdly, I also want to sign this agreement on Mr. Ye's oil field in South Africa." Zhang Mingyuan said.

“Is my oil field so attractive?”

After sending Zhang Mingyuan away, Su Yue gave Ye Fang a heartfelt thumbs up and said, "Boss Ye, great move!"

Just when Ye Fang and Su Yue were about to celebrate their success in capturing Zhang Mingyuan tonight, Leng Chuan suddenly reported that a large number of gang members were coming towards the hotel, and they should be members of the Sihai Gang.

"Sihai Gang?!" Ye Fang knew that tonight would be extremely dangerous.
