Chapter 455 Ferris Wheel
Yinglu District, Ferris Wheel Company Headquarters.
Under the light curtain in the conference room, a huge picture of foreign landscape appeared on the table.
Beneath the ever-rolling white clouds and azure waves, there are densely packed islands. Each island has its name marked above it, representing a different oceanic island country.
The exact number of islands in the ocean is difficult to count, but the total number exceeds 30,000.
In today's world, in order to cope with the impending great bombardment, in addition to the powerful countries that occupy one end of the world, such as the Dashun Republic, the Linax Federation, and the Noros Theocracy, the remaining countries and regions have strengthened their contacts and cooperation under this pressure, and gradually formed regional alliances.
For example, there is the Northern Alliance in Nordland, a remote area in the west; there is the Paranio faith region at the junction of the eastern and western continental plates; and there is the Sanmawoga Continental Association, which is across the sea from the western continent.
In the Eastern Ocean, there is also an Oceanic Union composed of many oceanic island nations. However, compared with other regional alliances, this is only a very loose alliance.
When the Dashun Republic overthrew the old imperial family, most of the overseas island countries stood on the side of the old imperial family. Therefore, after the imperial family was overthrown, the hostile relationship was not eliminated. The Dashun Republic continued to suppress and divide them for decades, resulting in many internal conflicts.
To escape this situation, twenty-eight island nations formed a high-level conference and, with the help and support of certain external forces, established the Ferris Wheel Company. On the massive, constantly rotating Ferris wheel at the company's headquarters, each of the twenty-eight capsules represented a nation.
Although the prototype of the Ferris Wheel Company existed before the old times, it took less than ten years from its announcement to its establishment.
Over the past decade, the company has developed rapidly under the parallel strategy of self-research and development and purchasing technology from all over the world, especially in island agriculture, marine animal husbandry, artificial landscape space, regional transportation, and waste processing and recycling.
In today's meeting room, all twenty-eight key directors were present, sitting in front of the landscaped table. The person presiding over the meeting said:
"The consortium's representatives are currently observing and evaluating our Ferris Wheel company for a period of three months to a year. This will determine whether we can join the consortium, and if so, we will face severe challenges."
All the company directors have serious expressions at this moment, because they have come to a crossroads. This step is related to whether the company can continue, whether the capital and technology they have gathered can find a way out, and even more so, it is related to what they believe to be the fate and future of the island nations.
Before the big impact actually comes, they must be prepared for everything.
"The directors should be aware that once the application process begins, we will inevitably arouse the hostility of the Dashun government and local companies. The veil of harmony and warmth we have previously maintained will be torn off, and they will spare no effort to suppress and exclude us..."
The person in charge of the meeting said in a high-pitched voice: "They will try every possible way to knock us down, kill us, eat our flesh and blood, and absorb nutrients from our corpses, so we cannot fail, we must ensure success!
After the imperial war ended and the old imperial family was overthrown, the Dashun government used the Canglong Company and the Ocean Development Group to continuously infiltrate and suppress us for decades.
Our lifelines, including biological ecology, algae cultivation and refining, mineral exploration and mining, ocean transportation, military weapons and implant technology, are all controlled by Dashun's state-owned enterprises and capital groups.
Now, if we simply join the corporate alliance, we can break through the technological blockade and gain military support from the alliance. If we retreat at this point, the Ocean Islands will forever be at the mercy of the Dashun government and companies from around the world."
The meeting chairperson said to the many directors, "The consortium also has its own demands. Our advantage is that they need us. They need a stable foothold in Dashun, but the prerequisite is... that we can maintain our presence."
He then stretched out his hand to take out the credentials for the lower world, and then tapped the light curtain a few times. Immediately, a dense crowd of characters appeared on it, about a hundred of them, with their simple information annotated next to them.
These people include company executives, government officials, and military personnel; there are also clients, gang members, and some seemingly ordinary drivers, warehouse managers, and even unemployed people.
"According to Wu Qi's analysis, these are the people who have posed a threat to the company in recent years. Recently, the most critical figures are these..."
The scene changed again, and many figures faded, leaving only seven, among whom were the three people including Chen Chuan that Sister Huan had known.
The meeting leader said, "In order to prevent our plan to join the consortium from being disrupted, we must eliminate these seven threats as much as possible."
One director took a look and said, "I remember sending a team to eliminate a target last time, but it failed. Because the target was a member of the Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau has increased their surveillance and monitoring of us. Our legal team is still handling this matter."
"This further demonstrates the threat this individual poses to us, and also shows that we didn't take this matter seriously enough before."
The person in charge of the meeting said, "We should redeploy our personnel and elimination teams to eliminate these targets at all costs. Hopefully, we can see results in a relatively short period of time."
A director spoke up, "The company's current fighters are being closely watched by the Bureau, making it difficult for us to mobilize additional personnel. Given the target's exceptional strength, I suggest we request personnel from Langtao Gym. We'll need someone from the Gong family to intervene."
Lang Tao Guan is the most famous fighting gym in the ocean, and many famous fighters have come out of it.
Because when the academy was first established, the land was granted by the royal family of Gong, so the real masters in the academy will only come out when invited by the direct heirs of Gong.
The person in charge of the meeting said, "Then let Gong Zhanxin go there."
He looked at all the directors on both sides of the table and said, "In the next three months to a year, for the benefit of the company and the future of all nations, we need to eliminate all the people Wu Qi has listed!"
In the Wuyi College dormitory, after Chen Chuan had packed up all his things, it was already the 28th. He planned to leave for Yangzhi tonight.
However, he remembered the task that Commissioner Liang had assigned to him before, so he checked and found that there were indeed some scattered discussions about Chen Bitong on the resident platform.
The main thing is that this person will set up a training and guidance class in the central city, and someone proudly posted an invitation letter, which aroused the envy of many people.
He checked and found that the person who took out the letter was most likely the son of a central city government official, and most of the messages below were from young people of similar status.
It can be seen that Chen Bitong's influence is not only in the field of communication. In addition to his own reputation, there is also the power of the faction behind him.
He noticed that the invitation letter was dated in February, which was about the start of the new semester at Wuyi, and he should have returned from Yangzhi by then.
After thinking for a moment, he stepped out of the platform and went to the training room to continue his practice for the day.
At eight o'clock in the evening, he came out of the dormitory carrying a suitcase and drove out of the Xuangong Building in a Gard car. When leaving, he greeted and said goodbye to Hongfu who was standing on the eaves of the building as usual, and then gradually walked away under the gaze of the veil.
Because he had made an appointment with Lu Fang to go back to Yangzhi together, he first came to Shenwei District. After more than an hour, he arrived in front of the underground fighting gym.
At night, the central city is full of colorful lights flashing, and even on this quiet street, you can see the interlaced neon lights and light beams.
Lu Fang was already waiting here with his luggage. When he saw the car coming, he waved to him and walked forward.
Chen Chuan reached out and turned the rotary lock of the passenger door, then got out of the car, walked to the back and opened the trunk for him, asked him to put his luggage there, and then returned to the car.
After Lu Fang got in, he saw Chao Ming squatting on the back seat and was a little surprised: "This is..."
Chen Chuan said: "It's called Chaoming."
He called out to Mingjiu and greeted Lu Fang.
Lu Fang smiled and said, "Hello."
Chen Chuan said: "Is everything handled, Senior?"
Lu Fang turned around and said, "Everything has been taken care of. There are two seniors at the fighting gym who won't be going back for the New Year, and there won't be many people studying during the New Year. Um, as for Thirteen, she won't be accepting any commissions during the New Year."
Chen Chuan nodded. He had heard from Lu Fang before that although No. 13 had resonance technology, because she had no identity, she would often encounter some debt default behaviors when she accepted commissions. Sometimes, Lu Fang would come forward to help her solve the problems, and she would also share some of the rewards with Lu Fang. The two of them could be considered to be mutually beneficial.
He started the car and drove towards the avenue.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall what Ni Qianqian had told him a few days ago.
The Ferris Wheel Company didn't know why it was targeting him, and perhaps it couldn't use inherent logic to judge the situation here.
It is actually quite difficult to attack him in the central city, but it is relatively easy outside.
However, if he was from the Ferris Wheel Company, they would not likely attack him in Yangzhi. Instead, they would probably attack on the National Avenue, because it was open and remote, with no support, and it would be convenient to arrange manpower.
However, since he came out this time, Wu Bei has not seen anyone following or monitoring him, and his itinerary has also been blocked, so he should be safe on the way back this time.
On the contrary, when he returned to the central city again, someone with a keen eye was able to infer the time of his return based on his telegrams and past events.
So if they were to take action against him, it would probably be at that time.
However, this was just his assumption, because he was still unclear about the other party's purpose and determination. It was also possible that he was just thinking too much.
But whether or not, it’s always a good idea to be prepared in advance.
