This elder of the Silver Fox Merchant Guild is named Gao Cangshan. He now resides in Yuecheng, and his strength is roughly the same as Elder Zhou's.

Moreover, the relationship between the two has never been very "harmonious".

Previously, he had heard that Ye Chen, a young man in his early twenties, had joined the Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce, and he had a lot of objections to it.

So today I took a private plane from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

The Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce now has four remaining founders. Ye Chen joined yesterday, and didn't three of them agree?

Having met the requirements for joining the Chamber of Commerce, there was no need to seek the consent of the fourth elder, who was none other than Gao Cangshan.

And he's not even in Shanghai.

Gao Cangshan, along with other members of the chamber of commerce who were not in Shanghai, were notified after Ye Chen joined. In the past, when new members joined, it was usually in roughly the same order.

A twenty-year-old can join their Silver Fox Merchant Guild?

Why should I?

This made Gao Cangshan extremely unhappy.

As mentioned before, the Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce just rejected a request from a billionaire worth around 100 billion to join.

This billionaire was introduced by Gao Cangshan.

When it was initially decided whether this billionaire could join, only Gao Cangshan and the white-haired old man agreed.

Elder Zhou and another elder voted against it.

This isn't because they're opposing Gao Cangshan, but because the billionaire's rise to wealth is questionable, and he's not a very good person either; there are many rumors about him.

Just now, the person I invited was rejected, but the person Old Zhou invited accepted.

Isn't this a slap in the face for him?!

They are both founders of the Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce, with equal status and position, and their relationship isn't bad either. So why should the person recommended by Old Man Zhou be allowed in?

Gao Cangshan felt humiliated.

At their age and status, face is more important than anything else.

Having been humiliated, Gao Cangshan certainly couldn't stand it.

In an attempt to save face, Gao Cangshan had a heated argument with Old Zhou after arriving at Qingshi Manor.

After an argument, Gao Cangshan, upon learning that Ye Chen lived next to Old Zhou's house, suggested that he meet him.

"good."

Old Zhou and Gao Cangshan arrived at the Tan Palace.

Just then, Ye Chen stepped out of the villa and saw two elderly men getting out of a car.

"This is Ye Chen."

"Xiao Chen, he is Gao Cangshan, another elder of our Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce."

Mr. Zhou introduced them to each other.

Looking at Ye Chen from afar, Gao Cangshan was somewhat surprised.

This Ye Chen seems to be more complex than he thought.

The aura emanating from Ye Chen is almost impossible for a young person to possess.

It seems that Ye Chen has something special about him.

Upon arriving at Old Zhou's villa and chatting with Ye Chen, Gao Cangshan increasingly felt that Ye Chen's demeanor was extraordinary.

Logically speaking, it would be good for such a young person with unlimited potential to join their Silver Fox Merchant Guild.

If Ye Chen had been recommended by someone else, he wouldn't have said anything by now.

But the fact that Ye Chen was recommended by Old Man Zhou made Gao Cangshan particularly unhappy.

If he agrees to let Ye Chen join, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?

He still cares about his image.

What kind of business have you been doing lately?

Gao Cangshan inquired.

"Recently... I am planning to acquire Yinglong Security Group."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and answered casually.

This was the first thing he had to do after finishing his exams.

Once we acquire Yinglong Security Group, it will be a great asset in dealing with Xu Jiuding in the future.

However, Ye Chen's casual answer left Old Zhou and Gao Cangshan dumbfounded.

"Xiao Chen, what did you say?"

"You're planning to acquire Yinglong Security Group?!"

Old Zhou asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"

Ye Chen countered, somewhat puzzled as to why Elder Zhou was so surprised.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Old Zhou's expression turned strange.

Yinglong Security Group has an absurdly powerful and extremely complex background.

He wouldn't even want to mess with Yinglong Security Group, let alone acquire it, but now, Xiao Chen actually wants to acquire it...

"Young man, you're incredibly arrogant."

"Even if you're bragging, you shouldn't brag like that."

Gao Cangshan spoke with even more disdain.

My good impression of Ye Chen vanished instantly.

Gao Cangshan knew some of the secrets of Yinglong Security Group.

Acquisition of Yinglong Security Group?

Do you have the connections and the ability?

Behind Yinglong Security Group stands a very important figure.

Others may not know, but he believed he was incapable of acquiring Yinglong Security Group.

Even he himself can't do it, yet a young man in his early twenties has such a big mouth.

Why don't you just say you're planning to acquire Tencent?!

"Bragging? I never brag."

Ye Chen refuted Gao Cangshan's questions.

The challenge can be completed by checking in at six different attractions in three different cities.

Aside from being a bit time-consuming, it's not difficult at all.

Ye Chen was fully confident in completing the challenge; Yinglong Security Group would definitely not escape his grasp.

"Isn't this just bragging?!"

Gao Cangshan snorted coldly, his impression of Ye Chen getting worse and worse.

At this moment, even Old Zhou wanted to persuade Ye Chen.

"How about we make a bet, young man?"

Suddenly remembering something, Gao Cangshan made a suggestion.

"What kind of bet?"

"I'm betting on whether you can acquire Yinglong Security Group. If you can take over Yinglong Security Group within three months."

"I will give you my position as a senior member of the Silver Fox Merchant Guild."

Gao Cangshan spoke.

In order to go against Old Man Zhou and to save face, Ye Chen will definitely be kicked out.

Gao Cangshan overheard Ye Chen bragging and came up with this idea.

In this way, it becomes perfectly legitimate.

"If you can't, then you should voluntarily withdraw from the Silver Fox Merchant Guild!"

Upon hearing Gao Cangshan's words, Old Zhou quickly gave him a meaningful look.

Acquiring Yinglong Security Group in three months is simply impossible.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen shook his head.

Seeing this, Old Zhou thought Ye Chen understood his meaning, but just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Chen's next words made Old Zhou's heart beat faster.

Ye Chen shook his head, not to refuse Gao Cangshan, but to increase the offer.

"Isn't this bet a bit too small?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile.

Since Gao Cangshan voluntarily relinquished his position as an elder of the Silver Fox Chamber of Commerce to him, what reason did Ye Chen have not to accept it?

There's still a significant gap between regular members and veteran members.

Moreover, Ye Chen wanted to take advantage of Gao Cangshan's profits and make more money. Wouldn't that be great?

"Okay, very good, then let's add more!"

Gao Cangshan was amused; he didn't mind that this young man was willing to give him money.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Cangshan made a bet that shocked even Old Zhou!
