The motorcade stopped directly in front of the villa. Ye Fang, who was in the car, still had a solemn expression. Who would have thought that after getting out of the car, he immediately had a kind expression on his face. No one could tell that he was unhappy at all, and Xiong Yang felt deeply like a king. Such a moody character reminds Xiong Yang to be careful in dealing with him in the future, otherwise he will be doomed in an instant.

After getting off the car, Liao Yuanzheng enthusiastically introduced the villa to Ye Fang. Although his heart was bleeding, there was nothing he could do. Liao Yuanzheng's idea was very simple: send Ye Fang away first. After all, the upper-level management of the group is now in a vacuum. As long as Ye Fang leaves, Longpai Petroleum will still have the final say.

Ye Fang listened to Liao Yuanzheng's introduction and looked at the seaside villas in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh, "Those who know it are in South Africa, but those who don't know think it is on the beach in Hawaii."

After hearing what Ye Fang said, everyone laughed and agreed. Liao Yuanzheng glanced at Xiong Yang, hoping that Xiong Yang would give him some hints. After all, this road was a separate space for Ye Fang and Xiong Yang. Maybe Ye Fang would say something. In particular, he wanted Xiong Yang to give him some expressions in reply.

Who would have thought that Xiong Yang acted like a normal person, following Ye Fang closely with his head lowered, without even looking at Liao Yuanzheng, which made Liao Yuanzheng sensitively aware of something unusual.

"Brother Ye!"

"Mr. Ye!"

The first shout was from Zhou Kai, but the second shout was from Han Hui. When Zhou Kai saw Ye Fang, he rushed over to him and hugged Ye Fang tightly. Tears and snot started to flow down his face before he could speak. This was probably not a show.

This guy can act better than me! Xiong Yang murmured in his heart.

"Okay, how can you cry like an adult?" Ye Fang pushed Zhou Kai away and asked with a smile, "How are you doing here? Do you still blame me in your heart?"

"No way, I have never complained about you. I know you are doing good for me. Look, these villas were developed by our company. This largest villa was reserved by Mr. Liao..."

"This...this set was originally reserved by me for Mr. Ye." Before Zhou Kai finished speaking, Liao Yuanzheng hurriedly stopped him, while Xiong Yang on the side held back his laughter.

"Oh, that's it, Mr. Liao really means something." Zhou Kai seemed to have something in his words, but Liao Yuanzheng acted as if he didn't hear anything.

"Hello, Old Han." Ye Fang took the initiative to greet Han Hui. Han Hui quickly stepped forward to hold Ye Fang's hand with both hands and said sincerely, "I am very happy to see Mr. Ye again."

Han Hui came from a financial management background and had a rigorous style of work. He rarely showed his emotions. Ye Fang could deeply feel Han Hui's inner excitement after saying these words.

"Me too!" As he spoke, Ye Fang gently patted the back of Han Hui's hand with his left hand, making Han Hui feel that Ye Fang seemed to have another meaning. Liao Yuanzheng on the side saw such a scene, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.

"Mr. Ye, let's go in and talk. It's too hot outside in South Africa right now." Liao Yuanzheng interrupted.

"Okay, let's go in and chat." Ye Fang followed Liao Yuanzheng towards the largest seaside villa. This kind of single villa has thousands of square meters, like a small castle, and is surrounded by gardens and swimming pools.

Liao Yuanzheng introduced the villa very carefully. After all, it was designed according to his ideas at the time. Naturally, he was very clear about the design standards and concepts.

Listening to Liao Yuanzheng's introduction, Ye Fang nodded frequently to express satisfaction. Behind him, Xiong Yang and Zhou Kai were whispering, but Liao Yuanzheng did not see it.

Everyone walked into the villa and immediately felt the slightest chill. Ye Fang looked at the complete facilities of the villa and asked Jiang Cao and others to prepare meals. He himself brought Liao Yuanzheng, Han Hui, Xiong Yang, Zhou Kai, Nan Yi and Pang Hongfei. Arrive at the conference room on the second floor.

Ye Fang's face turned extremely cold the moment he walked into the conference room and sat down. The temperature of the already air-conditioned conference room immediately dropped several degrees, and no one had the intention to sit down.

Pang Hongfei, who was standing behind Ye Fang with Nanyi, looked at Ye Fang's core management team in South Africa and said goodbye in his heart. Ye Fang was young, but he was very imposing in front of these people, and everyone had a trembling expression.

"Mr. Liao, tell me about the situation of the oil company." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"Yes, Mr. Ye." Liao Yuanzheng felt a vague sense of ominousness, but he didn't know where it came from, so he had to bite the bullet and report to Ye Fang the situation of the oil company last year, especially the profit situation after 911/[-]. Liao Yuanzheng was still very attentive to the company's management, and was very familiar with all business data, which made Ye Fang nod frequently.

South Africa's Longpai Oil Company seized the opportunity under Ye Fang's strategic plan, exploited large quantities of oil fields and hoarded high-quality crude oil with the help of Russia's Gorman Oil Company. After the 911/100 incident, the national oil price more than doubled, going straight to US$70 a barrel. After the US launched a war against Afghanistan, the oil price began to fall back, and is currently floating around US$[-].

As Longpai Oil Company continued to ship oil, the company not only turned a profit in one fell swoop, but its profits soared. It now has more than 200 billion US dollars in cash on its books, and with the continued output of sapphire mines, it now has a daily net profit All are over [-] million US dollars.

Liao Yuanzheng's introduction made Pang Hongfei behind Ye Fang click his tongue. He never thought that Ye Fang's oil company in South Africa could achieve such a scale. This scale is not inferior to those of state-owned oil companies in the country. The most important thing is that Ye Fang's oil company in South Africa has reached such a scale. Fang's oil companies have low taxes, which is simply like making money from the ground.

Pang Hongfei really didn't know how Ye Fang negotiated the tax policy with the South African government. It was just like picking up money for nothing.

After listening to Liao Yuanzheng's introduction, Ye Fang nodded with satisfaction, looked slightly calmer, and said, "The profits from the oil side are still pretty good."

"It is indeed good. President Mbeki is also very satisfied with the profitability of the oil company. Recently we have developed the eastern oil field, and the profits will be even better in the future." Liao Yuanzheng thought he had passed the test, and his nervousness eased a little.

"The company's profits are good. I would like to ask why Mr. Han was transferred from the position of financial director and your wife was asked to take over? Don't you know about financial avoidance?" Ye Fang suddenly asked.

The sweat on Liao Yuanzheng's forehead immediately dropped when he heard Ye Fang ask this question. He hesitated for a long time and said, "I think the development of the eastern oil fields is always an opportunity for South Korea. Plus, my wife works in finance... so..."

Ye Fang sighed softly and said, "Old Liao, I kept you in the company because of my friendship with Sister Xia, and entrusted you with important tasks. But your performance today made me very disappointed. I will give you a You have the decency to resign yourself. I will not give you any less of the discounted shares and everything else that should be given to you. Of course, you should not take away the things you should have, and you can’t take away even a penny!"

"Mr. Ye...I'm sorry...please spare me this time." Liao Yuanzheng knelt down in front of the conference table without caring about his dignity at this time.

"I have given you so much of my business and funds because I fully trust you! Now I want to ask you, are you worthy of my trust?" Ye Fang glanced at Liao Yuanzheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and continued, "I will withdraw. In the first step, I will assume that you brought your wife in because of the future of Mr. Han. I will ask Mr. Han to go back and check the company's accounts now. If there is no problem with the accounts, just treat what I said today as nothing I said. . But if the account is found to be unclear, I will send both of you to prison! Do you dare?"

"This..." At this time, Liao Yuanzheng's face was bruised and white. Finally, his head drooped and he said, "I don't dare! I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I have betrayed your trust!"

"For Sister Xia's sake, I won't pursue these things. I will let Mr. Han find out which ones are yours and which ones are not yours." Ye Fang stood up and slowly exhaled, then Suddenly he shouted an octave higher, "Leave the company right now, right now!"

"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye...I beg you not to kick me out of the company. You...you can give Zhou Kai a chance. Give me a chance too. Transfer me to a remote country." I am willing to go too. Really!" Liao Yuanzheng begged for mercy.

Hearing Liao Yuanzheng's words, Zhou Kai rolled his eyes at him angrily, cursing in his heart, "Can you be like me?" !

"As the old saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister. Old Liao, tell me the truth, during the time I was missing, did you think I would never come back?" After saying this, Ye Fang's eyes went straight. Liao Yuanzheng stared at Liao Yuanzheng. Liao Yuanzheng originally wanted to argue, but after looking up and seeing Ye Fang's eyes that could reach deep into his heart, he finally gave up.

One thing Liao Yuanzheng had to admit was that he really thought that Ye Fang was dead or missing. He believed that the probability of Ye Fang coming back was extremely low. In addition, the decoupling of the group headquarters from the management of the oil company made him feel that he The opportunity came to take full control of the company, so that led to today's consequences.

Liao Yuanzheng sighed and stood up slowly, bowed to Ye Fang, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for being tolerant to me! I will resign immediately!"

At this time, Nan Yi stood up and said to Liao Yuanzheng, "Please, Mr. Liao!"

Liao Yuanzheng followed Nan Yi out of the conference room without looking back, saying goodbye to Longpai Oil Company completely. Afterwards, it was verified that Liao Yuanzheng had embezzled and withheld various funds totaling more than [-] million U.S. dollars. Ye Fang did not take action against him for Sister Xia's sake, so he discounted his shares and returned the full amount to him after deducting the embezzled funds.

Liao Yuanzheng knew that he could not survive in South Africa, so his family moved to Hawaii, the United States. A few years later, Ye Fang met Liao Yuanzheng once when he was in danger in the United States.

"From now on, Mr. Han, you will be the person in charge of South Africa's Dragon Oil Company!" Ye Fang said formally.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for trusting me. I will definitely work hard." Han Hui said excitedly.

"Everyone, sit down. We have discussed the company's situation in detail." Ye Fang motioned for everyone to sit down. Pang Hongfei sat on Ye Fang's left hand side, and Han Hui sat on Ye Fang's right hand side. No one knew about this Pang Hongfei now. What kind of role does Ye Fang play next to him? I just have a vague feeling that Ye Fang values ​​Pang Hongfei very much.

Next, Xiong Yang and Zhou Kai reported to Ye Fang respectively on Sapphire Company and Real Estate Company. All business data were also very gratifying. Ye Fang knew that these companies in South Africa were experiencing their golden three years of development. The next three years will definitely be the three years when business develops most rapidly and profits are the highest. After three years, it will not be as good as the stable development period.

After listening to the reports of several people, Ye Fang nodded frequently, and finally concluded, "Diamond companies and real estate companies still have room to continue to make profits in the future, so Xiong Yang and Zhou Kai must support me. I need a lot of cash flow. You are now It is the core of the profit of the entire group. Xiong Yang, you kid, stop eating, drinking and having fun every day. The diamond company is on track. Think more about other projects related to jewelry. Use money to make money, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." Xiong Yang blushed and nodded quickly.

"I'm not worried about Zhou Kai, but you are worried that your kid will stop making progress while lying on Diamond Mountain. If next year's profit is not more than five times this year's, you kid, go back to Guangzhou and continue to be your little gangster. Go." Ye Fang said loudly.

"No, Mr. Ye, I will work hard, I will work hard! Don't worry!" Xiong Yang said quickly.

At this time, Han Hui said, "Mr. Ye, the price of oil is now a little lower than it was on 911/[-]. Do you think this is a peak and a decline, or a short-term adjustment? I remember you said that the price of oil will definitely exceed one hundred dollars."

"Old Pang, tell everyone." Ye Fang said to Pang Hongfei.

Ye Fang knew that Pang Hongfei was an expert on national issues, and the oil issue best reflected the international political trend. Ye Fang also wanted to hear Pang Hongfei's views on the future trend of oil prices.

Pang Hongfei knew that Ye Fang was looking after himself on the one hand, and on the other hand he was also giving himself a chance to perform. Pang Hongfei sorted out his thoughts in his mind and directly asserted, "International oil prices will definitely continue to rise in the future! This increase in oil prices will appear superficially It seems that it was caused by the 911 incident. In fact, from another aspect, it is caused by the promotion of additional issuance of US dollars, which requires that oil prices must rise. Otherwise, the United States alone will not be able to digest these additional issuances of US dollars. If it cannot digest it, it will inevitably cause the United States to Domestic inflation. The short-term digestion of the additional issuance of U.S. dollars will undoubtedly push up the price of oil the fastest. If I were the U.S. government, even if I knew in advance that 911 would happen, I would not order to stop it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime situation for the U.S. government. Opportunities and excuses!”

When Pang Hongfei finished saying this, others didn't think much of it, but Ye Fang looked at Pang Hongfei with strange eyes, because what Pang Hongfei said was true.

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong? Am I right?" Pang Hongfei asked when he saw Ye Fang looking at him in surprise.

"Yes, yes, keep talking!" Ye Fang said.

"Another point is that I think the United States will use the war in Afghanistan to launch another war this time!"

After Pang Hongfei said this, everyone in the conference room showed incredulous expressions. They felt that Pang Hongfei was exaggerating. The war in Afghanistan has not yet been completed. How can the United States launch another war?

"Who else will it hit?" Ye Fang asked.

"Iraq!" Pang Hongfei said firmly!
