Chapter 3477 Special circumstances
Li Zhifeng hesitated. Anyone who saw him now knew that he was about to make the next most difficult decision.

Randall was confident, he knew that the other party would definitely surrender.

And once he surrenders this time, he will surrender forever.

From then on, he could only live in his own shadow.

"That's it, then."

Finally, Li Zhifeng took a long breath and said, "Just do as you say."

“This is the smartest decision you’ll ever make.”

Randall tried his best to hide his satisfaction on his face: "Sir, I assure you that we will succeed."

"I'm going to prepare now."

Now that he had made up his mind, Li Zhifeng no longer hesitated: "Of course, I also need your assistance in this."

"For example?" Randall asked curiously.

Li Zhifeng stared at him intently: "Mr. Sneijder, do you really think I don't know that you actually have your own intelligence network here? If you don't use these intelligence networks and just let my people take risks, then I don't think there is any need for us to continue to cooperate."

Randall thought about it for a while, and finally said, "Okay, let's get started."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Li Zhifeng hesitated for a moment, then shook hands with him.

This means that an alliance has been re-established between them, an alliance that seems to have ulterior motives.

……

Manila.

It's another sunny morning.

Meng Shaoyuan got up very early.

He loved breathing the morning air.

Sweet and makes people happy.

This will bring good luck to the whole day.

Meng Shaoyuan has always believed that a person's luck for the day begins from the first minute he wakes up.

For breakfast, we had pure Chinese style.

Porridge, fried dough sticks, eggs, and buns.

It was just that Meng Shaoyuan had finally found a Chinese overseas in Manila who could cook authentic Chinese food.

Although there are many Chinese expatriates in Manila, to be honest, it is not easy to find a satisfactory cook for a single set.

The overseas Chinese here have lived in Manila for several lifetimes, and their food tastes have gradually developed towards the local people's tastes.

Therefore, the taste of Chinese food is not so authentic.

It took Meng Shaoyuan some effort to find a truly good chef.

"Owner."

While they were eating there, Peng Bilan walked in.

"Let's eat together." Meng Shaoyuan asked her to sit down. "I told you, you don't need to call me master here anymore."

"No, I won't do that." Peng Bilan was very stubborn on this point.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed inwardly.

This is all my own fault.

The special circumstances at that time led to the current special situation.

Forget it, forget it, let’s talk about this later.

"eat first."

Seeing Peng Bilan wanted to say something, Meng Shaoyuan interrupted her: "After you have eaten your fill, let's discuss things."

Peng Bilan obediently drank a bowl of porridge and ate an egg.

She never ate much.

"Okay, you can talk now."

Meng Shaoyuan put down his chopsticks, picked up an egg and peeled it while speaking.

"We have already shipped at least half of the gold."

Peng Bilan said, "Although there were some minor setbacks, it was generally smooth. I just got news from the United States that the first batch of gold shipped to the United States was personally handled by Wu Jingyi and has been properly escorted to the designated location."

"Tell Wu Jingyi that according to my previous plan, not all the gold can be kept in the United States."

Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I am about to go to the United States, to be honest, I don't trust this country at all. There is an old saying in China that eggs should not be put in one basket."

"clear."

Peng Bilan then added: "Xiao Ke has arrived in San Romano. The company has been established and has contacted the local US military. All procedures are complete. Soon, he will search for local gold."

Meng Shaoyuan said, "Hmm," and said, "Tell Xiao Ke to be extremely cautious. We have been planning carefully in the Philippines for so long, and we must not let a small mistake lead to failure."

Peng Bilan nodded: "At present, there is a special situation. After the liberation of Manila, the situation here has calmed down and recovered quickly, but this also brought some troubles.

Although we are currently controlling the largest gang in Manila, there are still some sporadic gangsters who are targeting us. Although they dare not take action against companies directly controlled by foreigners, as you know, we employ local people to operate many companies on a daily basis. "

As Manila's economy and order recover, more and more foreign companies are moving in.

They also hired a lot of local people.

Some local businessmen and professional managers in Manila before the outbreak of the war were hired to run branches.

The same is true for the group that Peng Bilan is in charge of.

Many of these companies are even fully run by local people.

Many people have set their eyes on this piece of fat meat.

As Peng Bilan said, the locals dare not directly offend companies controlled by foreigners.

But other aspects?

"Recently, many of our branches have been blackmailed by some hooligans and police." Peng Bilan continued to report: "If it was just a simple extortion of a little money, it would be completely within the controllable range, but recently these people have become more and more excessive.

They want to get involved in almost all businesses and take a piece of the pie. Some policemen even want to directly take over the company's shares. The managers in charge of these branches have to spend most of their energy every day to deal with these things. "

Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Why don't you ask for help directly from the parent company?"

Peng Bilan smiled bitterly: "Master, they are all locals."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

Confused.

I was really confused.

They are all locals.

They can seek help from their superior company, but what about the future?

They are all locals with families and concerns.

Then the thugs, especially the police, can of course temporarily stop harassing them and turn to target their families.

Those people's superiors will step in to resolve these issues for the benefit of their own companies.

And then the families of the locals?

Who will care?

"One of our branches had this problem yesterday." Peng Bilan continued, "The manager of the Naga company is called Ge Suojia. He is a relatively upright person. He refused those people's extortion several times, but he was retaliated against very quickly!"
