Francis's office, which is also the office of the trade market manager, is located in the southeast corner of the market.

It was a rather old-looking two-story building, but that did not affect its status in the market. It was less than 300 meters away from the stall that Chen Dong had rented.

This was Chen Dong's second visit to the small building, but he had a different feeling each time.

On the way to the small building.

Sim did not hide anything, but selected the key points and explained them to Chen Dong, hoping to gain Chen Dong's understanding and support.

People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill!

Chen Dong could understand Sim's desire to climb the social ladder.

There's an old saying that goes, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!"

This saying applies equally well in both official and professional settings!

The matter is actually quite simple.

Chen Dong's proposed barter system was a very tempting plan.

In addition, Chen Dong has funds, a trading company, and railcars as a backup.

These advantages are not seen in other Chinese middlemen.

If handled properly, it can certainly bring in tens of millions of dollars in returns.

That's why Sim felt so much pressure, so he decided to use it as leverage to get what he desperately needed.

So, Francis wanted to meet with Chen Dong to discuss cooperation.

Chen Dong didn't know much about Francis.

All I know is that he is the owner of the Chelsea free market and a very powerful person.

To do business in the trade market, you need to rent a stall here.

Renting a stall costs $2,000 a year.

The entire market has thousands of stalls, and the rental of these stalls alone represents an astonishing amount of wealth.

And those who can provide such a place and become its owners are certainly not ordinary people.

If there wasn't a complex network of interpersonal relationships behind this, Chen Dong would never believe it even if you beat him to death.

As they were talking.

The two had already arrived at the second floor of the office building.

At the door of the innermost room stood two burly men in black suits, bodyguards hired by Francis.

Upon seeing Chen Dong and his companion, one of them pushed open the door and said...

"Gentlemen, the boss is already waiting inside. Please come in."

As they spoke, the two of them moved to the side, making way for the entrance.
