Roderick gave Ye Chen a document, the contents of which stated that Roderick would transfer one-third of the ownership of the Krell Technology Research Institute, held by the Byrne International Capital Group, to Ye Chen.

“Mr. Ye, this is a small token of my appreciation on behalf of Bain International Capital Group.”

"Roderick said politely."

The Krell Institute of Technology is internationally renowned and powerful. It was jointly established ten years ago by three major groups.

To date, one-third of the control of the Krell Institute of Technology is held by the Bain International Capital Group, one-third by the Kesma Group, and the remaining one-third is held by the wealthy tycoon August.

The three giants jointly manage the entire Krell Institute of Technology.

This gift was incredibly painful, even for the wealthy and powerful Bain International Capital Group.

If they hadn't desperately needed to network with top executives at leading international banks, Roderick would never have offered such a generous gift.

"Mr. Roderick, please tell me what's on your mind."

Ye Chen did not directly agree to accept the gift, but instead asked the question directly.

As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason, and since Roderick has given such a valuable gift, it certainly wasn't given for nothing.

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's gift is bound to do so." Although Ye Chen was also very interested in the Krell Technology Research Institute, he wouldn't accept it unless Roderick told him why he needed it.

Some gifts shouldn't be accepted casually.

“Mr. Ye, it’s nothing really that I have any major issues. I just heard that you are not only the first royal bank in the oil country, but also the most prestigious VIP of Guzi Bank.”

Seeing this, Roderick no longer concealed his intentions and immediately explained them:

"Our Bain International Capital Group urgently needs to make contact with senior executives of a major bank, so I was wondering if Mr. Ye could help us?"

"Roderick asked nervously."

"It's a small matter, it's easy."

When Ye Chen spoke, he thought Roderick wanted something from him, but it turned out he just wanted to make contact with the top executives of the First Royal Bank of the oil-producing country and the Guzi Bank, and asked Ye Chen to act as an intermediary.

This is a small matter. I can make a phone call and have a meal later, and it will be settled.

Compared to owning one-third of the Krell Institute of Technology, this is very easy.

"This is wonderful, thank you Mr. Ye."

"Roderick said excitedly."

He appeared excited on the surface, but inwardly he couldn't help but think that such a thing was probably a trivial matter only to Mr. Ye, who had a wide network of connections.

For anyone else, it would be an impossible task!

Often, connections aren't something money can easily buy.

"I'll give you a phone number."

Ye Chen gave Roderick a phone number, the one Ye Chen had met at the banquet in Yuecheng a few days ago with the executive of the First Royal Bank of the oil-producing country.

Ye Chen told Roderick that the executive of the First Royal Bank of the oil-producing country happened to be in China. Roderick then made the call and invited the executive to have dinner.

I'll act as a middleman and get involved, and things will be pretty much settled.

"Yes, Mr. Ye..."

After writing down the phone number, Roderick was very excited. He thought he would have to wait a while, but he didn't expect Mr. Ye to be able to help him solve this problem so quickly.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ye. I will contact you again after I make an appointment with the other party."

Roderick added Ye Chen's contact information, then said goodbye and went to take action.

After seeing Roderick off, Ye Chen took the gift Roderick had given him and returned to Han Maoyu and the others.

Just now, when they saw foreigners suddenly come to find Ye Chen, the group was a little curious, but they were also worried about disturbing Ye Chen, so they watched from a distance and did not dare to approach.

"Old Ye, what did that foreign man give you? Would you mind telling us?"

Han Maoyu couldn't help but ask.

Judging from the manner of that foreign man, he was there specifically to deliver something to Lao Ye. But what could he possibly be that would make him chase after Lao Ye all the way here?

"Tch, no need to guess, it's definitely luxury goods or watches, utterly boring."

Upon seeing this, Kong Yuda curled his lip and said in a sarcastic tone.

"It's nothing, it's just that they gave me partial ownership of a place called the Krell Technology Research Institute."

Ye Chen answered casually.

"What?! What did you say?!"

Ye Chen's words startled Kong Yuda, who screamed and asked, thinking he had misheard.

"Krell Technology Institute, you're saying that the foreign man just gave away part of the ownership of Krell Technology Institute?!"

Kong Yuda stared at Ye Chen in astonishment, looking incredulous.

Han Maoyu was equally astonished. He had just heard from Kong Yuda how powerful the Krell Technology Research Institute was, and now, in the next second, Old Ye had become one of its controllers. This was incredible!

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"Are you sure you didn't mispronounce it? It's the K, Ra, Er, Technology Research Institute, and not some other research institute?"

Kong Yuda asked carefully, afraid that Ye Chen had mispronounced the name. Now, a difference of just one character could make a world of difference.

"That's right, it's the Krell Technology Research Institute."

Ye Chen answered affirmatively. He had looked at it several times; how could he be wrong?

"How could this be? How could someone give you ownership of the Krell Technology Research Institute?"

Kong Yuda's face was filled with surprise and confusion.

The Krell Institute of Technology is such a prestigious institution that even a partial ownership of it is extremely valuable. How could someone who owns it possibly give it away so easily?

"Who was that foreigner who gave it to you at the Krell Institute of Technology?"

Kong Yuda still couldn't believe it and spoke hesitantly.

"He is the owner of Byrne International Capital Group."

Hearing Ye Chen's answer, Kong Yuda was completely stunned!

Kong Yuda stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen.

That's right, that's right.

He had some understanding of the Krell Institute of Technology and knew its three controllers, one of whom was indeed Byrne International Capital Group.

At this moment, Kong Yuda was certain that Ye Chen was not lying to him, but was telling the truth.

My God, this is unbelievable!!!

"Boss, are you tired? Let me massage your legs and shoulders."

After confirming the truth, Kong Yuda's attitude towards Ye Chen changed completely. He began to fawn over Ye Chen, revealing his true colors as a "simp".

He did this in the hope that Ye Chen would agree to arrange for him to work at the Krell Technology Research Institute.
