Game within game: chess player

At this time, even though Xiang Yu was calm, he could not help but look solemn and unbelievable, and even a little lost his temper. Lan Lu saw this and quickly grabbed Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu didn't know what was going on, how could his third brother appear here for no reason. Xiang Yu confirmed again and again that it was his third brother.

Ye Fang also noticed Xiang Yu's abnormality, but due to the situation at the scene, it was inconvenient to ask. Zhang Mingyuan was on Zhang Zhongmou's private plane, and the two teams had already started to board the plane. Lan Lu pulled Xiang Yu, who looked confused and unwilling, onto the plane, and then the two planes took off at the same time in the night and headed straight for South Africa.

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

At this time, in a single room on the plane, Ye Xiang learned about the situation from Leng Chuan and Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu told them about the strange scene that had just happened.

"How could I be wrong? I have lived with my third brother for so many years, and I can recognize him at a glance." Xiang Yu said with tears.

Ye Fang stood up and walked around the room, laughing at himself and said, "This is in line with the old saying, it's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you. We tried so hard but couldn't find him, but we didn't expect him to be right here with us." In front of you."

At this time, Ye Fangli quickly thought of countless possibilities. One scenario was that Xiang Rong betrayed him, but this possibility was extremely small. After all, the Xiang family worked in important national security departments. Once something went wrong with him, it would inevitably affect the entire Xiang Rong family. home, so this option is highly unlikely.

Another situation is that Xiang Rong escaped by chance and is now committed to Uni-President Enterprises, but cannot return home due to some special reasons. But there were two people who performed the mission with Xiang Rong, and their whereabouts were still unknown at this time. Even Leng Chuan and Xiang Yu didn't find any of their own people after sneaking into the beef processing factory in Japan. However, it was indeed a place where Japan detained intelligence personnel from other countries. Several South Asians and two Koreans were detained there. In order not to arouse suspicion, Leng Chuan rescued the North Koreans and then released them, creating the illusion that North Korea was rescuing the hostages.

Of course, there are many situations that may occur. After all, special operations personnel working on the front line actually face too many emergencies. In emergencies, it all depends on the on-the-spot response capabilities of the parties involved. If the response is successful, the crisis may be turned into safety. If the response is not timely, there may be direct sacrifice.

"Did he see you?" Ye Fang asked Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "You probably didn't see him. He was standing behind the crowd with his head lowered."

"You can recognize him when he lowers his head?" Ye Fang said in surprise.

Xiang Yu raised his head and said, "Of course, I have received professional training. People who know each other can recognize you just by looking at their backs. Now even if you make up as an old man and pass in front of me, I can recognize you at a glance."

Ye Fang never expected that Xiang Yu's words would turn out to be a prophecy. A few years later, Xiang Yu would actually save Ye Fang's life by relying on this ability.

"I'll call your elder brother and see what he says." Ye Fang looked at Xiang Yu and said, Xiang Yu nodded solemnly.

Ye Fang called Xiang Guo and explained the specific situation. Xiang Guo pondered for a while and said firmly, "Xiang Rong will never betray the motherland. He must have a special plan or be temporarily out of contact. He needs to Contact him as soon as possible, but be sure to pay attention to safety. This incident is very unusual, and I can’t figure out what happened for the time being. We must contact him while ensuring safety.”

"Then leave the joint to..." Does Ye Fang mean to leave this to Xiang Yu?

Xiang Guo thought seriously for a moment and said, "This matter cannot be left to Xiang Yu. She has a very good relationship with Xiang Rong. She is prone to irrational behavior in the event of an emergency. Not only was it not helpful for the rescue operation at that time, It is very likely that the rescue operation will fail. Let her return to the country, give her the phone, and I will tell her."

Ye Fang then handed the phone to Xiang Yu and said, "Your elder brother wants to speak to you directly."

"Follow me?!" Xiang Yu looked at Ye Fang and took the call. After saying a few words, Xiang Yu shouted, "I won't go back. The third brother is here now. I want to take him home."

Xiang Guo didn't know what he said on the other side of the phone. Xiang Yu argued a few more words with tears in his eyes, and finally nodded in agreement. Ye Fang couldn't bear to see Xiang Yu holding the pear flower in the rain. If he found him and Xiang Guo to plead with him, Xiang Guo would most likely agree to let Xiang Yu stay, even if he didn't meet Xiang Rong.

But in the end, Ye Fang endured it. Xiang Yu was indeed prone to act impulsively when he was young, and this kind of personality was prone to bad things.

With tears in his eyes, Xiang Yu handed the phone to Ye Fang. Ye Fang picked up the phone and said to Xiang Guo, "Let the plane stop in Singapore and I will arrange for someone to pick her up."

Ye Fang hung up the phone and asked Leng Chuan to tell the cockpit to stop at Singapore Airport.

Ye Fang turned around to comfort Xiang Yu and said, "You are indeed not suitable for this mission in your current situation. Go home and leave the rest to me."

Xiang Yu wiped his tears and said, "You have to ensure that I bring my third brother back safely!"

"I promise!" Ye Fang promised with three fingers.

"Ye Fang, if you break your promise, I will hate you forever!" After saying that, Xiang Yu turned around and left the room, and met Su Yue head-on. Xiang Yu glanced at Su Yue with a hostile look and went back to the room to pack up and prepare to get off the plane.

"Miss Xiang, what's wrong with her?" Su Yue brought a cup of coffee to Ye Fang and asked, "I heard that the plane will temporarily dock at the Singapore Airport. Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, she has to get off the plane for something." Ye Fang said casually.

"Oh." Su Yue knew something happened, but Ye Fang didn't tell her. She never took the initiative to ask. She knew that if Ye Fang wanted her to know, he would tell her.

After arriving in Singapore, Xiang Yu got off the plane by himself. At this time, this black car had already parked at the airport. Xiang Yu came to the car with a serious face. Before getting in the car, he looked back at the plane again and shouted to Ye Fang who was standing at the door of the plane, "Ye Fang, don't forget what you promised me." After saying that, he said without hesitation. Got into the black car, and then the car disappeared into the night.

After a short rest, the plane took off again. Since the stopover was very short, it hardly affected any flight time.

The two planes arrived at the South African Capital International Airport at noon the next day. Just as Ye Fang said, South African President Mbeki made an exception and returned to the airport to personally greet them for the first time. He also welcomed Ye Fang and the three people with the same ceremony as welcoming heads of other countries. .

Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan are both very famous businessmen in Southeast Asia, especially Zhang Zhongmou. As a business giant in the high-tech field, he is the absolute center of any country he goes to. However, there has never been a moment when the president of the country personally greeted him. Zhang Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan feel that their lives have been worthwhile.

After getting off the plane, Ye Fang gave South African President Mbeki a big hug first. During the hug, Ye Fang lay in Mbeki's ear and whispered, "Second brother, I can invite these two gods of wealth to you." Now, it’s up to you how much gold you can get out of them.”

"I understand, I understand!" Mbeki said as if he was a brother who understands everything.

Then Ye Fang politely introduced Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan to Mbeki. Mbeki shook hands with them one by one. Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan did not have Ye Fang's ear-returning real-time translation system. They all had translators beside Mbeki. to ensure a smooth call. Fortunately, Mbeki knew English and was able to communicate with Zhang Zhongmou almost without any barriers. Later, South African children presented wreaths to the two, and there were hundreds of South African people around them waving flowers. It can be said that It gave Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan enough face.

"Boss, your reputation in South Africa is incredible." Su Yue praised sincerely.

"Where is this? The boss's strength is more than that." Leng Chuan said, patting the horse from behind.

Ye Fang ignored the two men's teasing. While paying attention to Zhang Zhongmou, he also glanced at Xiang Rong in Zhang Mingyuan's team with the corner of his eye, and saw Xiang Rong's calm face. At the same time, Ye Fang also noticed that there were always two people on the left and right behind Xiang Rong, following him step by step. Judging from the distance between them, it was obvious that the two people behind him were almost monitoring Xiang Rong. This aroused Ye Fang's concern. Alert, it seems there must be other engines.

Liao Yuanzheng, Han Hui, and Xiong Yang from Ye Fang's South African company were also in the welcoming team at the airport. After seeing Ye Fang exchanging greetings with Mbeki, several people found an opportunity and hurriedly greeted them.

Ye Fang came back last time to deal with Zhou Guanglong. Liao Yuanzheng and Han Hui didn't change much, but Xiong Yang was tanned.

"Hello, boss!" Xiong Yang shook hands with Ye Fang with a very respectful attitude.

"Damn it! Are you still adapting to life in South Africa? You didn't cause trouble for Mr. Liao, did you?" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"Boss, how dare you? I work hard for the boss." Xiong Yang replied

"Xiong Yang is very good and enjoys his work. The diamond mining is progressing smoothly. Now the company's preparations have been completed. I heard that you are coming to the oil field. Xiong Yang and the workers worked overtime and finally completed all the preparations for the diamond mining. , I’m just waiting for you to take the first shot." Liao Yuanzheng praised.

"What kind of cannon?" Ye Fang didn't understand.

"Mr. Ye, it's like this. Diamond mining here needs to bury explosive points. After igniting this cannon, the relevant equipment can start drilling. It's just for good luck. We are all waiting for you to light this first cannon." Liao Yuanzheng said.

"Okay, I'll take the first shot." Ye Fang said with a smile.

The scene of Ye Fang and Liao Yuanzheng chatting was watched by Zhang Zhongmou. He needed to confirm whether Ye Fang's qualifications were what he said. After all, there was no business record or information about Ye Fang on the market, so Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan needs to see to believe, which is why he insists on coming to South Africa to see Ye Fang Oilfield.

At noon, South African President Mbeki hosted a state banquet for Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan at the Presidential Palace in the capital. The two were flattered, especially since dozens of police cars cleared the way from the airport to the Presidential Palace in the capital, and people waving flowers could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. The common people and the mighty motorcade marched in the urban area of ​​the capital, giving Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan the greatest satisfaction for their vanity.

At the banquet, Mbeki euphemistically expressed the hope that TSMC and Uni-President Enterprises could set up factories or branches in South Africa. Faced with Mbeki’s expression, Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Zhongmou had no nerve to say no. Besides, Zhang Mingyuan originally hoped to open up a factory. It can be said that the two parties hit it off with the needs of the South African market. South Africa's cheap labor costs can be said to be its biggest advantage. The only thing it lacks is skilled industrial workers.

However, under Ye Fang's suggestion, these are not problems. Ye Fang suggested that South Africa could first set up a school for industrial worker training. The two factories would send mature workers according to job needs to train South African employees. Those who meet the standards can be hired. In this way, it can take as little as three months and as many as six months to train South Africa's first generation of industrial workers. The two companies can even send out skilled workers to train here in rotation for three months. The government will provide corresponding subsidies to spread the word. The leading training model drives the maturity of South African industrial workers.

Ye Fang then put forward many suggestions, and Mbeki arranged for someone to record them and then implemented them one by one. Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan also nodded frequently to Ye Fang's suggestions. It can be seen that Ye Fang is sincerely investing in South Africa, which moved Mbeki very much.

After lunch, since Mbeki had a state visit in the afternoon, he could not go to the oil field with Ye Fang. In the afternoon, Ye Fang took Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan directly to the oil town.

"Boss, the government has set up offices in the town and has stationed troops around it. At the same time, the road from the capital to the oil town has also begun to be renovated. When you come to the oil town again next year, the transportation will be more convenient. Yes." Han Hui introduced.

Ye Fang noticed that road renovations had begun from the capital to the oil town. Although it was not comparable to the asphalt roads in China, it was much better. At least the ride was no longer bumpy.

After two hours of journey, the whole convoy arrived at the oil town. Originally, the term "town" should have been a dirty word in the ears of Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Zhongmou, but when they arrived at the oil town, their perceptions were completely overturned. This is simply a small city. The city has all kinds of supplies, the roads are clean and even traffic lights are there, the city's commerce is beginning to flourish, and the seaside is just three kilometers away, making it feel like a paradise.

"Mingyuan, do you think it would be very profitable to invest in some real estate here?" Zhang Zhongmou said.

"It will definitely make money! But you don't like the small money in real estate. Let's leave this small business to me and Brother Ye." Zhang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"You old fox." Zhang Zhongmou laughed and scolded, but for Zhang Zhongmou, no matter how big the real estate business is, it is still a small business. The long construction time is not conducive to capital turnover. If you have that time to produce more chips, you will have nothing to lose.

"Both Directors Zhang, the real estate development planning of the town is already in progress. We plan to build the town according to the Dubai model. In the future, this town will not only be an oil producing area, but also a tourist and holiday paradise." Liao Yuanzheng said.

"Oh?!" Hearing what Liao Yuanzheng said, Zhang Zhongmou became interested. If it was just to build a few buildings, he might not be interested, but he was still interested in building a city that could be remembered in history. He quickly added, "After the planning drawing is released, I will I’ll take a look first and invest if I can!”

"I'll vote too!" Zhang Mingyuan quickly raised his hand and said.

Ye Fang and Su Yue looked at each other and smiled. Ye Fang said, "Okay, Director Zhang, let's go see the oil fields and diamond mines!"

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Ye Fang pressed the button to start the diamond mine. After a loud noise, a huge black hole appeared on the ground, which also meant that Ye Fang's sapphire mine officially entered the mining stage.

Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Mingyuan looked at each other, nodded, and said to Ye Fang, "Let's sign the contract."
