Old An is the old housekeeper who lives far away in Chicago.

Duanmu Ci changed into slippers. "You two can decide such a small matter. Why bother asking me?"

Bu Tongxun followed behind him, "Recently, the family has acquired several large steel plants and needs F Company's iron ore as raw materials. The amount involved may be quite large, so we came to inquire."

Duanmu Ci sat on the sofa and thought for a while. "How about this? Have the Australian delegation come directly to China, to Haishan, instead of going to Chicago. I will personally preside over the negotiations with them."

Bu Tongxun hesitated and said, "Although this is a very important collaboration, it doesn't seem important enough for you, sir, to personally take charge. My presence is sufficient."

Duanmu Ci waved his hand, "I've been a bit bored lately, so it's good to find something to do for fun—by the way, could you bring me the information on that... company F?"

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Duanmu Ci certainly understood this simple truth.

Bu Tongxun was clearly prepared, and directly pulled out a few sheets of white paper from the coffee table in front of her and handed them to Duanmu Ci, "This is the information about that company."

Duanmu Ci took it and glanced through it briefly, discovering that this F company was truly remarkable and quite powerful.

F Group, a young company founded in 2003, has developed at an unprecedented pace. In just a few years, it has become Australia's third-largest iron ore exporter and a very significant player in Australia's mining exports.

"Looks like a formidable rival." Duanmu Ci put the documents back on the coffee table.

"But I don't think they're a match for adults, so we don't need to worry about them too much," Bu Tongxun said sincerely.

"If you want to make a difference in this world, never underestimate any of your rivals," Duanmu Ci advised. "Remember to remind me before they arrive that I will personally pick them up at the airport... as the department manager."

"Go pick them up at the airport in person?" Bu Tongxun asked with some doubt. "Actually, there's no need to go so early. The negotiations haven't even started yet. You can sit in your office and wait for them to arrive."

That's a very...

Duanmu Ci felt it necessary to educate his right-hand man. He looked directly into Bu Tongxun's eyes and said very seriously, "War begins the moment the decision is made in one's heart."
