112: Chapter 112 Company Branch Location Selection

...

Inside a villa on the inner ring of Binhai City.

After opening the package, the middle-aged man stared at the jar full of capsules for a long time. The color of these capsules was as brilliant and azure as the ocean.

"Hiss—these little pills look quite exquisite."

Did he put something in here? Lin Tianxiong muttered to himself, then poured a few out and sniffed them, but couldn't detect anything unusual.

Lin Tianxiong couldn't be blamed for being cautious; the box didn't even have a label, looking very much like a generic product from a small workshop. If his son hadn't sent it to him, Lin Tianxiong—who even picked big brands when buying socks—would have thrown it in the trash long ago.

But after all, it was a gesture of filial piety from his boy...

This sort of thing didn't happen often. Thinking of this, Lin Tianxiong grinned, showing a relieved expression as if it hadn't been a waste to raise him all these years.

After taking two capsules,

Before long, Lin Tianxiong's face flushed red and he broke into a sweat, his eyes gleaming. He felt like he had endless energy in his body, his back no longer ached, and his whole being was full of vitality.

"So powerful! Where did he get such good stuff?"

Meanwhile, on the other side,

A week had passed since Xu Anqing and her group arrived in Molo Country. During this time, the group and the inspection team had visited four islands with the assistance of the Molo Government.

Today was their second time landing on Ruang Island. The island was surrounded by stretches of the Gold Coast, where waves crashed against black volcanic reefs, kicking up layers of white foam that contrasted sharply with the deep blue Indo-Pacific Ocean in the distance. The coastline was dotted with lush coconut groves and virgin forests, with dense vegetation stretching from the mountain peaks down to the narrow coastal plains.

At a simple resting spot, Abdul caught his breath and pointed to several brightly colored small birds on the bushes, introducing them to the group:

"My friends, look, those are the relatively famous Ruang Island Sunbirds."

The group looked over. The birds' lower backs and tail coverts were a metallic purple, while their underparts were yellow with dense longitudinal streaks, looking very beautiful.

As they were observing, Abdul spoke up: "Ms. Xu, Mr. Li, this might be a bit forward, but I still want to know what project your company intends to invest in. Our Molo Government will definitely cooperate with you fully."

Abdul was getting a bit anxious. After wandering around for so many days, this company still wouldn't let anything slip. If he hadn't heard that this company was a hundred-billion-level enterprise, he really wouldn't want to wait on them anymore.

"Minister Abdul, to tell you the truth, our company wants to open a branch in your country."

After taking a small sip of water, Xu Anqing finally revealed her purpose. After several days of running around, she finally had a lead.

Sigh, one word from the boss, and the subordinates run their legs off.

"Ms. Xu, is that true?" Abdul was overjoyed and somewhat incredulous. His country was simply too poor; what were they after? Were they after the sweeter fruit here?

To this, Xu Anqing only gave a faint nod.

At dusk, after sending off the people from the Molo Government, the group from Third-Party Technology hurried back to the hotel.

Zhou Hui searched the room thoroughly, and only after confirming it was safe and free of any surveillance cameras did he sit back on the sofa. Xu Anqing and Li Chengjian were also there.

They were preparing to hold a small meeting.

"Isn't the boss coming?" Zhou Hui asked with a grin.

"He said he's busy; let's decide and then report to him," Xu Anqing said with some confusion. She had heard some noise on the other end, sounding like many machines were excavating something.

"Let's talk about our views. Where should we build the branch?"

Li Chengjian spread out the map of Molo Country, his finger moving between the four main islands: "President Xu, from the current perspective, forget about Yote Island; it's unstable right now. The environment on Eli Island is too remote. Only Big Molo Island and Ruang Island are suitable."

Speaking of this, Li Chengjian paused and said: "I remember the boss's instructions to us; is it the bigger the land for the branch, the better?"

Xu Anqing smiled slightly: "That's right, that's his usual style."

"Then we could choose this place south of Big Molo Island. The terrain here is flat, and there's only one village inside called Silimita."

Li Chengjian drew a circle on the map. Don't be fooled by the small circle; the area designated inside was a full 12 million square meters, five times larger than the world's largest Chrysler Global Headquarters. The largest in the Central Continent, the Penguin Island currently under construction, was only 800,000 square meters.

"Brother Zhou, what's your opinion?"

This was how Xu Anqing had always addressed Zhou Hui in private.

Zhou Hui frowned, "Old Li, this is too small."

Hearing this, Li Chengjian suddenly wanted to stuff the map into his brain. You should know that drawing such a place required a lot of mental preparation on his part.

Did he think he was building his own house? Both the land and the construction required money, each being an astronomical figure that ordinary people wouldn't dare imagine, yet he just blurted it out.

"I think so too."

Xu Anqing nodded in agreement.

"President Xu is right, there is a better place," Li Chengjian pointed to another spot on the map and said: "The northeastern part of Ruang Island. The hills here have a gentle slope, and we could take the whole area, which is a full 30 million square meters."

This middle-aged man felt a bit of a heart tremor.

"Now that's more like it," Zhou Hui said with satisfaction, seeing that it was more than twice the size of the previous circle.

Xu Anqing gestured towards an area in the diametrically opposite position, "What about here?"

"This..."

Li Chengjian smiled bitterly: "President Xu, this used to be the capital of Ruang Island. Although the four islands have been unified and the capital is now on Big Molo Island, this place is still a major city in Molo."

It was time to make a decision. Xu Anqing pondered. What she had to think about wasn't complicated; she just had to guess the thoughts of her mysterious and powerful boss who didn't like to manage things.

After all, if he wasn't satisfied, they would have to choose again.

Xu Anqing's slender fingers gently tapped on the glass coffee table, making a rhythmic 'da-da' sound. Outside the window, the night was deep, and the sound of waves hitting the shore could be heard faintly in the distance.

She remembered what Lin Fang had said to her before.

"I want to truly invite you to join the company. I'll have you sign an agreement. If you..."

"Boss, stop talking, I'll sign anything!"

Lin Fang: ...

What followed was a matter of course. Her clearance level in the company's inner world was B5, and she had learned many more things.

Xu Anqing looked at the map. This time the goal was to give the company its own base, the bigger the better, so that the company could be expanded and strengthened.

So...

Xu Anqing used a pen to circle the 43,000-hectare, or 430-million-square-meter, Ruang Island. The entire island would serve as the company's branch.

After hearing her opinion,

Zhou Hui clapped his hands in approval, while Li Chengjian was dumbfounded. If this really happened, it wouldn't be a company, it would clearly be a small country! With this kind of boldness, there was a reason she had become the CEO.

Once the decision was made, the group began to discuss.

How to persuade the Molo Government and get them to agree to evict the 300,000 people on the island from the company's territory.
