Ye Chen didn't have a good impression of Kong Yuda, who was arrogant at first but obsequious at second, and ignored him.
While Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were relaxing at the farmhouse, Roderick briefly told the other two giants about the news that their Byrne International Capital Group had transferred ownership of the Krell Technology Research Institute to Ye Chen.
Upon hearing the news, the tycoon August was initially extremely surprised, but then something suddenly occurred to him, so he immediately contacted the chairman of the Kesma Group.
After a brief discussion, the two sides reached an agreement.
It might actually be a good thing for Byrne International Capital Group to transfer ownership of its Krell Institute of Technology to someone else.
The position of director of the Krell Institute of Technology has always been rotated among the three giants.
Since they all own one-third of the research institute, and everyone is equal, no one is more powerful than the other. So it was decided that the three giants would take turns serving as the director of the Krell Technology Research Institute, with a rotation every two years.
The current director of the Krell Institute of Technology is August, who has served for two years as per regulations. The next director of the institute will be someone from the Bain International Capital Group.
But now that the other party has transferred ownership, August has started to have ulterior motives.
Shouldn't these two old folks welcome a newcomer who's about to join the team?
As for how to welcome him, that's simple—just strip this newcomer of his opportunity to be the director of the Krell Institute of Technology for the next two years.
Ogster wanted to continue serving as director for another two years, and in order to get the chairman of the Kesma Group on his side, Ogster promised a lot of benefits.
After the two made their decision, they decided to hold a video conference of the three giants to discuss the matter, since the year was almost over.
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the newcomer had just taken over, was unfamiliar with the work, and didn't know anything about it, to act swiftly and decisively, giving him no time to react.
It's a good thing for a newcomer to suffer some setbacks; they're doing it for the newcomer's sake.
Because of the time difference, by the time the two of them had everything ready and made a video call to Ye Chen, it was already evening for Ye Chen.
When the video call connected, Augster and Chairman Kesma were quite surprised to see Ye Chen; they hadn't expected him to be so young.
Leaving aside the elderly August, even the relatively young Chairman Kesma was already over forty.
Now, seeing a young man in his early twenties suddenly become their companion, one of the three giants on equal footing with them, both of them were quite surprised.
However, while they were surprised, they were secretly overjoyed. Compared to swindling an old man, swindling a clueless and inexperienced young man was much easier.
Before Ye Chen could even speak, August felt that his plan was already 90% successful.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Ye Chen. Let me introduce myself..."
August was a very good actor, pretending to be a kind old man and offering to introduce Ye Chen. He hoped to lull Ye Chen into a false sense of security and make him fall into his trap without realizing it. Then, Ye Chen would thank him after being fooled.
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
Chairman Kesima also greeted Ye Chen.
"Hello, both of you."
After chatting idly with Ye Chen, when he felt he had confused Ye Chen, he got straight to the point.
“Mr. Ye, our Krell Technology Research Institute should have a new director next year.”
"I will be the next director. Mr. Ye is too young and has just joined. I think he should learn more from his experience."
August began to brainwash Ye Chen.
"Yes, Mr. Ye..."
Chairman Kesma also chimed in, suggesting that they give Ye Chen some sleeping pills in hopes of getting his approval.
At first, Ye Chen had a good impression of the extremely enthusiastic August, but after listening to his brainwashing, Ye Chen immediately became wary.
Does this old fox think that because he's young, inexperienced, and unfamiliar with the Krell Institute of Technology, he can dig a pit for himself and make himself jump into it?!
LOL.
The chairman of the Kesma Group was also likely bribed by Ogster.
When Ye Chen was bored during the day, he chatted with Roderick and learned some basic information about the Krell Technology Research Institute. Roderick naturally told Ye Chen about the institute's director rotating every two years and that it would soon be his turn.
Just then, a staff member from the chairman of the Kesma Group came over and quietly told him something. The chairman's expression immediately turned serious.
Ye Chen ignored Ogster, who had dug a hole for him, and instead looked at the chairman of the Kesma Group.
"Isn't the biggest business of your Kesma Group related to real estate?"
Ye Chen said meaningfully.
"yes."
The chairman of the Kesma Group nodded. This was common knowledge. What did Ye Chen mean by saying this?
“I heard that your Kesma Group is currently actively seeking to cooperate with Hilton International Hotels Group to become a long-term partner.”
Ye Chen continued.
Roderick also gave Ye Chen a brief introduction to the two giants.
According to Ye Chen, Hilton International Hotels Group plans to make a major move next year, building many new hotels around the world to expand its business.
This means Hilton needs a long-term partner, a real estate developer.
Ye Chen verified that several international real estate developers, including the Kesma Group, had proactively contacted Hilton International Hotel Group, wanting to become partners. Currently, Hilton International Hotel Group's senior management is discussing the matter and has not yet made a decision.
"I think I will be the next director of the Krell Institute of Technology."
Ye Chen spoke calmly.
Hearing this, August sneered. Since Ye Chen hadn't fallen for the trick, he didn't continue pretending.
"You want to become the next director? No way."
Ogest confidently asserted that he was allied with the chairman of the Kesma Group, and with him on his side, how could Ye Chen possibly become the next director?!
The chairman of Kesma also seems to be preparing to make a statement.
“I can make you a long-term partner of Hilton International Hotels Group.”
Ye Chen did not answer Augster, but instead casually said something to the chairman of the Kesma Group.
The other person, who had been absent-minded, widened their eyes and their heart started racing when they heard Ye Chen's words!
"What did you say?!"
The chairman of the Kesma Group asked in astonishment:
"Why are you so confident that you can make me a long-term partner of Hilton?"
