Upon hearing the shipping magnate's words, the faces of everyone in the room turned extremely grim.
Xu Jinheng, on the other hand, refused to budge no matter what.
Xu Shixun, exasperated and frustrated, said, "Jinheng, Jinheng! If only you had half of Chen Dong's vision, what a pity..."
Unfortunately, Xu Jinheng didn't have that ability.
Thinking of this, Xu Shixun, as a father, felt a deep sense of loss.
...
Hidden Dragon Residence.
Chen Dong looked tired.
To solve the current problem, Chen Dong is now working at lightning speed.
But at this moment, Chen Dong also had deep worries.
"Boss, it's late, aren't you going to rest?"
Uncle Fu walked over and asked with concern.
Chen Dong looked up and saw that Uncle Fu was carrying a cup of ginseng tea.
Seeing this, Chen Dong immediately laughed and said, "You can tell that I'm not in the mood to sleep."
Uncle Fu shook his head helplessly and placed the ginseng tea on the coffee table.
Chen Dong picked up the ginseng tea and took a few sips.
Uncle Fu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Boss, don't keep things to yourself. Although I don't understand those things, you seem to have run into a hurdle this time, haven't you?"
Uncle Fu couldn't say too much, after all, he was just the steward of Hidden Dragon Residence.
Uncle Fu never inquired much about matters outside of Hidden Dragon Residence.
However, seeing Chen Dong so melancholy tonight was rare, and even Uncle Fu couldn't hold back his emotions.
"Uncle Fu, please sit down."
As Chen Dong spoke, he patted the sofa with one hand.
Uncle Fu sat down, still looking worried.
Chen Dong sipped his ginseng tea while chatting intermittently with Uncle Fu.
Chen Dong said, "I have indeed encountered a problem."
"Firstly, I'm not sure about the situation on the shipping magnate's side. Although he has agreed to cooperate with me, the shipping magnate is not just one person; behind him is the entire shipping magnate family and company."
"If the shipping magnate can't withstand the resistance from his family, he's very likely to give up cooperating with me."
Thinking about this gave Chen Dong a headache.
He knew very well that the shipping magnate himself was very firm in his stance on these matters.
But the shipping magnate was, after all, a living, breathing human being, not a god.
Humans are inherently weak.
The shipping magnate was willing to disregard everything and help Chen Dong transport oil from the perspective of national righteousness.
So, what about the rest of the shipping magnate's family?
This presents a variable for Chen Dong.
But the variables don't stop there.
Chen Dong sighed, "The oil extraction equipment is still nowhere to be found. Even if the shipping magnate doesn't have any problems, I still have to find a way to get the oil extraction equipment."
The blockade by the two major capital groups is no small matter.
Even someone as strong as Chen Dong felt immense pressure.
Uncle Fu blinked, then said awkwardly, "Boss, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Yes, that's true," Chen Dong said casually.
At this point, Uncle Fu changed the subject and continued, "Although I don't understand these things, I do know another principle. No matter what happens to a person, it will eventually pass. Whether the outcome is good or bad, it will all become the past."
“Boss, sitting here now will only harm your health and will do you no good. I think you should rest instead.”
"Perhaps, when I wake up, it will be dawn?"
Uncle Fu's words had a double meaning, which made Chen Dong feel much better.
Too.
Sometimes, those involved are confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
It is precisely because Uncle Fu does not understand these things that he can speak so insightfully.
Chen Dong's lips curled up, then he raised an eyebrow, regaining his former radiance.
Chen Dong stood up and said with a faint smile, "Uncle Fu, the ginseng tea is quite good. You should get some rest."
After speaking, Chen Dong went back to his room to rest.
Seeing this, Uncle Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Chen Dong had finally come out of his rut.
Wolong glanced at Uncle Fu and silently gave him a thumbs up.
Nothing was said that night.
That night, Chen Dong calmed himself down and slept soundly.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Uncle Fu noticed that Chen Dong's mood had suddenly become quite good.
In fact, Chen Dong is now fully aware of the situation.
If the shipping magnate's side fails to cooperate, Chen Dong has other options, but these options require more investment.
Chen Dong felt refreshed.
A comprehensive plan was gradually taking shape in his mind.
The foreseeable future and predictable outcomes are what allow Chen Dong to remain calm.
Not just anyone can board his big ship.
Compared to Chen Dong's confidence, the shipping magnate was unable to sleep at night.
The shipping magnate did the math and realized that by helping Chen Dong, his family would suffer losses of at least $1 billion.
If I don't help...
First, he has already said what he wanted to say, and it is not in Xu Shixun's character to go back on his word now.
Secondly, Xu Shixun also wanted to befriend Chen Dong.
The shipping magnate squinted, secretly calculating in his mind.
"Chen Dong cares so much about oil that he is willing to offend two major capital forces in order to bring oil back to China. Such behavior is beyond what ordinary businessmen would do."
"Could it be that Chen Dong is backed by China?"
Xu Shixun had a guess in his mind.
Perhaps Chen Dong really is a mouthpiece for the mainland authorities.
...
Inside Hidden Dragon Residence, Chen Dong calmly ate his delicious breakfast.
A night has passed.
There was no news of Xu Shixun backing out.
The fact that this message hasn't arrived means that the matter is already halfway to success.
