Chapter 899 No one dared to provoke her
The only problem is that three large baskets of durians were missing from the storage space.
I didn't expect Jiuge to like this, that's great.
My silly dog had never eaten durian before he met her, but after he tried it, he thought it was pretty good.
If you can eat together, there will be far fewer conflicts.
Before the Lunar New Year, Xia Ran took Su Mingzhe to attend several banquets hosted by overseas Chinese.
Now, no one dares to underestimate or provoke Xia Ran.
She always sat at the same table with a group of elderly men who were in charge of the household.
After all, there are previous examples; Qin Wanda's entire family was wiped out.
Although it was ultimately determined to be a natural death, no one is stupid enough to think that the whole family would die in one death.
This is the biggest problem in itself.
However, the incoherent ramblings and expressions of fear of the two young masters of the Qin family before their deaths were still noticed and heard by those who were interested.
I even went out of my way to find out everything that happened during that period, and once I put it all together, the result was almost obvious.
Qin Wangda's family has messed with the wrong people, and all the blame is being placed on Xia Ran.
But no one dared to bring this up in public.
Given that Hayden, who was very close to Qin Wangda, also died around the same time, everyone knew what had happened.
Xia Ran didn't know this, nor did she care if others knew; people are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.
She is not afraid of being known as long as others cannot find evidence to bring her to justice.
Because even if she had a motive, she never actually carried out the crime, so she wasn't afraid of being investigated or charged.
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her should be prepared to be wiped out.
That evening, after returning home, Su Mingzhe asked Xia Ran, "Why were you sitting at the most prestigious table? Or what did you do to make those old men willing to sit at the same table with you?"
"Be strong, be incredibly strong. There are no shortcuts. When you're out in the world, strength is what matters."
Xia Ran then waved her hand and said very boldly, "But don't worry, you can sit at whichever table I sit at outside."
Su Mingzhe kissed Xia Ran; he loved his wife's bold and bossy demeanor.
Feeling incredibly secure and safe, I nodded happily, "Yes, yes, from now on I'll rely entirely on you, my wife."
Xia Ran hugged his silly dog tightly and gave it a big kiss. "Yeah, don't worry, I'll definitely treat you to the best of everything."
On February 2nd, Xia Ran received a call from Shao Pengfei saying that an oil field had been discovered on one of the plots of land that Lao Sha's family had bought.
"The estimated production is around 50 billion barrels. The oil layer is shallow and easy to extract."
The high pressure causes the oil to spray out on its own, eliminating the need for an oil pump. The high permeability also allows the oil to flow smoothly and without resistance.
It's practically an open-pit oil field; extraction is easy and inexpensive.
Xia Ran was overjoyed. "Great! Buy equipment to mine, continue to stockpile oil, and don't sell it for now. Stock up on it all!"
"Well, I know."
He then mentioned something else: he had met with the crown prince a few days ago and signed a long-term security agreement with him at a very attractive price.
Previously, their security team was basically trained by Baba Yangjia.
"Baba Sheep's security personnel are not bad, but they still can't compare to ours. After watching a live-fire exercise, they made the decision on the spot."
"That's good. You can decide for yourself. Continue to increase our personnel training efforts."
"Okay, what percentage of last year's will we use this year?"
Xia Ran asked, "What about three times? 30 people, can that be trained?"
"No problem, Jiang Huai and Liu Cheng are now in full charge of this area."
How about we go with five times the standard this year? The operation is getting bigger and bigger, and we don't have enough people.
I plan to meet with other heads of state from around the world after the New Year, since their money is the easiest to earn.
Oh, the biggest problem here is that our training base is going to be moved, and we can't keep Da Mao anymore. Ye Liqin officially resigned a few days ago.
It should be the current prime minister who takes office, but it's unclear what the new president's style will be.
"Is Putin going to take power? It's definitely time to move," Xia Ran said.
"Let's move. A new broom sweeps clean, and if things go wrong, it might end up burning us too."
Besides, you've seen Russia's economy; it's just so-so, and it won't get better in the short term. Their big money has already been divided up, and there's absolutely no way they can make money like before.
We can continue our businesses related to food and clothing, as well as agriculture and animal husbandry; we should withdraw from everything else.
"Okay, I know what to do."
Xia Ran suggested, "Once you've successfully connected with the leaders in the Middle East, you can introduce them to sell some weapons made in our country."
We'll act as middlemen and make a profit from the difference. This business is particularly lucrative. We'll try to negotiate a higher price; those places aren't short of money.
Selling weapons would definitely be profitable. "Is it possible? Would the government agree?"
"It should be possible. You talk to them first. Once you've settled things on your end, I'll talk to our country. Our country has no reason to refuse."
They just wanted to charge as high a price as possible, trying to match Old M's prices.
For wealthy people, the higher the price, the more secure they feel, as if they've bought a good product.
Don't try to save them money; wealthy people will question the product quality if you price it too low.
Shao Pengfei asked, "I understand. What do you think the probability is that our country will agree?"
"More than 80% of them are short of money. Why not sell? Only a fool wouldn't make money."
"Then I know what to do."
"Yeah, go for it."
Xia Ran then made a phone call back to China, instructing Li Huaimin to begin collecting the discarded gas cylinders.
How could she forget the references to gas cylinders and Laiyang steel pipes from later generations?
I'm not sure what level of quality Laiyang steel pipes are at now, but it's time to stock up on gas cylinders in advance.
Everyone's year-end bonuses and dividends were deposited into their accounts a few days ago.
Wang Lan's autobiography became an instant hit after being serialized in her own newspaper.
The same is true for published genuine books; as many as are published, they sell out, and sometimes the supply can't keep up with demand.
The key is that this is a true story, not just a tale, which makes it more moving and inspiring, especially for people struggling in difficult situations.
This is because their own newspaper receives a bagful of letters from readers almost every day.
Wang Lan returned to China a few days ago and will do a related interview program on her own TV station.
Xia Ran knew the book would be a hit, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Chen Jin said that the production team already assembled plans to bring this book to the screen after the new year.
Seeing that this kind of independent and strong female protagonist novel is very popular nowadays, Xia Ran told Chen Jin about it.
"We should encourage our newspaper's contributors to write more stories about independent and strong female protagonists, which will increase the price per article."
Write fewer stories about mistresses taking over or love above all else; those are just for fooling idiots.
Nothing is more appealing than money, and Xia Ran believed that wherever the money was, there would be the writing style she desired.
