ABT Chapter 0068
Cheng Gang's recurring headache kicked in again.
Next month, the Economic Negotiation Conference will be held in Tiancheng. Representatives from the business sectors at home and abroad will attend. Choosing Tiancheng as the venue was a major achievement for Cheng Gang. In order to secure this honor from neighboring cities, he had offended quite a few people. Now, both overtly and covertly, he didn't know how many people were secretly mocking him.
Now, he could very aptly describe himself as being in hot water; a new official with three fires blazing, and this first fire, had him roasted to a crisp...
At noon, in order to entertain the organizers of the association, Zhao Tianming specially arranged a banquet. During the banquet, the head of the conference preparatory group, Liu Lei, didn't touch a single dish or drink, and instead read out a piece of news:
Due to the poor security situation in Tiancheng, for the safety of the delegation, the Neon Business Representative requested to bring their own security convoy.
For a moment, the leaders present all looked grim - it was clear that this was a request made for their own safety, but... why did it feel so uncomfortable to hear it?
Who doesn't trust whom?!
"Comrades, I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm not comfortable with this! I've said what I needed to say. As for the specifics, you figure it out yourselves!" With these words, Liu Lei got up directly and left without saying goodbye.
Zhao Tianming's orders had already come down. Matters unrelated to oneself are best left alone. After consoling everyone for a few words, he left. Leaving Cheng Gang alone to face the scrutinizing gazes of everyone.
After everyone dispersed, Cheng Gang sat alone in the private room for a long time, contemplating. He took out his phone and dialed his secretary's number.
"Contact Zhengxin Company and ask if they can provide bulletproof modifications for vehicles. If they can, arrange for their boss to come over. I want to see him. No, if they can do it, I'll personally go to their company!"
Zhengxin... Li Fanyu looked at the dignified gentleman in front of him and clicked his tongue in amazement.
This gentleman was the customer who had paid the modification deposit earlier, named Hao Li. Li Fanyu found him familiar upon seeing him in person. Upon asking, he found out that this handsome uncle was the head of the prestigious Jinmu Investment Group in Tiancheng City.
Moreover, he had another identity - Tiancheng City's wealthiest man.
As for why Li Fanyu modified the car, he sighed deeply and explained the cause and effect.
It turned out that half a year ago, Hao Li took over a piece of land by the sea. Originally, Hao Li intended to build a resort on that piece of land. But during the execution, he had a bit of a falling out with the local villagers.
In that piece of land, there was a cliff facing the sea, with several bat caves on it. Several years ago, the nearby villagers heard that bat guano had medicinal value, so they started catching bats, collecting bat guano, and selling it to pharmaceutical factories.
Bat-made medicine was highly effective for coughs and chronic bronchitis. As a result, this group of people did indeed make a fortune over five years.
But just as they wanted to continue contracting with the village, the entire seaside, along with that cliff, was bought by Hao Li.
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Contradictions arise.
Seeing that Jinmu Investment Group was about to start construction, that group of people became anxious.
In recent years, Hao Li had become rich through investments, but the more money he had, the more timid he became. As an investor, he often had to deal with people with conflicting interests on construction sites, fearing that someone might harm him.
Hao Li had considered every aspect and hired a large number of bodyguards to protect his wife and children. But when it came to transportation, he was still worried.
A rich man's son mustn't stand under a crumbling wall, so Hao Li couldn't afford to be careless about his personal safety.
Yesterday, after seeing the news that Zhengxin Company could modify bulletproof cars, he immediately came here with his bodyguards.
Women are so gossipy. Wang Meimei, who had been listening attentively nearby, couldn't help but approach Hao Li and say, "Mr. Hao, since you're also developing tourism, why don't you just give up that piece of land to them? Living in constant fear, how can you continue like this?"
"Is that feasible? If the land is of no use, giving it away is fine. But if I back down now, how can I do business in the future?" Li Fanyu glared at her, thinking, What are you joining in for? If I give up the land, will he still come to us to modify his car?
Wang Meimei stuck out her tongue and returned to her desk, pretending to sort through documents.
Hao Li slapped his thigh and said, "Exactly! That's what I was thinking! I can't back down on this matter. Brother, can you modify the car to the highest safety level?"
Li Fanyu thought for a moment. The safety level of the Sandstorm was Level II, meeting the international Level II bulletproof standard. The highest bulletproof level internationally was Level IV, capable of withstanding 12.7mm caliber tungsten core armor-piercing bullets.
In China, such a safety standard would be more than enough. Moreover, with Xapp's capabilities, they should be able to meet or even exceed this level.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fanyu nodded and said, "It's possible, but the price... it'll have to be at least five million."
On the other end, Hao Li immediately interrupted him, took out a checkbook, wrote a few checks, and handed them over, saying, "Brother, go ahead and modify it. Money is no object for me!"
