391 Heading to Laos

Previously, the butler said he could find a secluded place, but now it seems there's no need to look anymore.

With the connection to Atlantis, there shouldn't be a problem.

"Let's use this place as our camp. When the time comes, you can notify General Atat. Getting a mountain shouldn't be an issue."

What Wang Jianguo didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, the butler walked in holding a file folder.

"Eldest Master, this was sent over by General Atat. He said you have the right to use the land within a one-kilometer radius here. You can do anything here, even build a military base.

Moreover, no outsiders can enter this area without your permission. He also said that if you need it, he can lend you troops."

The butler's words left everyone shocked. The right to use a one-kilometer radius with no restrictions? They could even build a military base here?

This was truly like having a pillow delivered just as you were getting sleepy. As for lending troops, that wasn't needed for now.

"Boss, this is great! Now we can act freely without worrying about crossing any red lines with the higher-ups here."

Carrot Head was exhilarated. He never imagined before how good it could be to have a powerful backer.

Then again, the factions that had previously extended olive branches to them weren't as reliable or as powerful as the current one.

Wang Jianguo's mood was also soaring at the moment, but he quickly calmed down. The current Atlantis had a very special status.

He still didn't know the relationship between his son and Atlantis. Previously, the butler had only said they were 'our people,' but 'our people' could mean many things—like those Bodyguards from Xitan Palace.

Another possibility was collaborators. He was naturally very at ease with the former, but with the latter, he couldn't be completely without caution. After all, people's hearts were unpredictable, especially here in Southeast Asia.

It seemed he would have to talk with his son after returning, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

For now, this would have to do. He took the file folder from the butler, opened it, and found some certificates, documents, and even a military pass.

With this pass, they could go anywhere in Cambodia without hindrance.

However, he wouldn't need it because he was about to leave Cambodia. Carrot Head and the others, on the other hand, would need it very much.

So, without hesitation, he tossed the items into Carrot Head's arms. "Carrot Head, these are for you. Later, I'll transfer one billion us dollars to you. The company and training matters are in your hands.

Give them the best possible treatment, but tier it by level. That way, it'll motivate them.

Contact me if the money runs out. If there's anything you can't handle, you can go to General Atat.

Alright, we'll leave Cambodia soon. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Looking at the items in his hands and hearing Wang Jianguo's words, Carrot Head felt an indescribable emotion.

Was this what it felt like to be trusted?

One billion us dollars, just given to him like that?

"Boss, aren't you afraid I'll run off with that one billion us dollars? You know that's not a small sum. With that money, I could live comfortably for the rest of my life."

In response, Wang Jianguo revealed a faint smile and slowly uttered four words: "I believe in you!"

He dared to give it, so naturally he wasn't afraid the other would run. Moreover, when you employ someone, you trust them. Besides, the other was the lifesaver of both him and Wang Jianjun. He knew what kind of person he was.

Those simple four words left Carrot Head stunned. After a moment, he said solemnly, "Boss, thank you for your trust. I promise I won't let you down."

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo laughed heartily, stepped forward, and patted his shoulder. "Carrot Head, it's me who should thank you. Alright, between men, I won't say anything too sentimental to avoid misunderstandings. After all, I'm a pure man.

Once the company is established, you'll be in charge of everything. I have only one requirement: benchmark it against Blackwater Company. I'll give you an annual salary of one million us dollars. Of course, this million is just the start. In the future, it could be tens of millions, or even a hundred million."

A hundred million us dollars annual salary?

Carrot Head had never imagined he was worth so much money. He didn't think Wang Jianguo was just making empty promises.

Not to mention that the other was the father of the Lord of Tiangong, just the cash flow he currently had was enough to make him believe it.

After giving his instructions, Wang Jianguo didn't stay in Cambodia any longer. He took Wang Jianjun and the others to the airport.

Next destination!

Laos! (Old name for Laos)

This country is also ranked in Southeast Asia, and not just that—it's near the top.

Of course, it's ranked near the top in terms of poverty.

Just as Wang Jianguo was heading to Laos, airport staff, upon learning his identity, immediately notified their superiors.

The information was passed up layer by layer until it finally reached the ears of The Chief.

The center of power in Laos!

Upon hearing that the father of the Lord of Tiangong was coming to Laos, Surisi couldn't contain his excitement.

"Minister Lamon, quickly, have the honor guard prepared. Also, seal off the airport immediately. Notify Minister Kio and have him accompany us to the airport to welcome them."

Lamon! Minister of Defense of Laos!

Kio! Minister of Finance of Laos!

He understood The Chief's feelings perfectly. An ordinary businessman wouldn't warrant such treatment, but this was different.

Who was this person? The father of the Lord of Tiangong. The influence of Heavenly Palace Group was growing globally. If they could attract him to invest here...

Not only would they personally welcome him, they would even... well, they would spare no effort.

There was no other way—they were truly tired of being poor!

If they didn't find a way to boost the economy soon, they might not even be able to afford food.

What face? Screw that!

Face can't put food on the table. Money brings face. Without money, no one even looks at you. And you still want face?

That's a joke. So they had to cling tightly to this thick thigh.

As soon as The Chief's order was given, the departments below sprang into action without delay. They were about to welcome the God of Wealth—they couldn't afford any negligence.

In less than twenty minutes, the airport was placed under military control. Red carpets were rolled out. The airport manager even gathered the staff to personally check their appearance.

Those who were ugly were immediately waved off to go on vacation. Even though they weren't qualified to greet the guests, what if they were accidentally seen?

If the staff were too ugly, would it affect the guest's mood and cause them to leave?

If that happened, wouldn't the higher-ups skin him alive?

So, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Passengers at the airport watched this scene, a sense of familiarity washing over them. Wasn't this the treatment reserved for welcoming leaders of other countries?

Was there a state visit today?

Meanwhile, passengers rushing to the airport were suddenly notified that their flights were delayed. As for when they would resume, they could only wait for further notice from the airport.

This left them puzzled, but instead of turning back, they continued toward the airport. They wanted to see what was happening there.
