I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Chen Ling drank a few sips of hot water and felt much better. Thoughts began to be put on the conversation with Mr. Feng.

"What happened?" Chen Ling asked.

Before going to the southern desert, Chen Ling gave Mr. Feng a plan; on the day he came back, Mr. Feng confirmed on the phone that there was nothing wrong, and Mr. Li from CS company wanted to meet him. This shows that CS company is interested in cooperation.

"Our company attaches great importance to the port project. We have found many lines to get close to the decision makers of this project, and the effect is not bad. Mr. Chen, you are a very important clue. Mr. Li, our company originally wanted to meet and talk with you. However, our domestic opinion on your proposal is too radical." Mr. Feng said with discretion.

He didn't tell the truth completely. CS company really attaches great importance to the port project and has spent a lot of energy on it, but has not found any clues. There are also reasons for the unclear attitude of the Algerian authorities on the project.

When Chen Ling appeared and gave Mr. Feng a plan, Mr. Feng was a treasure at first. Starting from getting to know Chen Ling, he gradually analyzed Chen Ling's local strength. In his analysis conclusion, Chen Ling has a very good relationship with the local senior management. His evidence mainly consists of the following points:

First of all, Chen Ling got the $20 million Sidela Hotel project by himself. This is the biggest manifestation of his strength.

Then, Chen Ling broke the "equal distribution" situation in one fell swoop on the cement matter and controlled the port's lighter business.

These two points are extraordinary things for the people who are currently doing engineering in Algeria. And the last point is that in the restaurant in the sand nest, Chen Ling's performance has exceeded Feng's imagination.

From then on, Feng always wanted to have a relationship with Chen Ling and cooperate on projects. Only considering that Chen Ling's Anyang Group is also a construction company, so there are concerns.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ling took the initiative to come to the door and proposed to cooperate in port projects. Mr. Feng was overjoyed and carefully analyzed the plans and materials provided by Chen Ling, and believed that the feasibility was very high. So it was reported to President Li, hoping that President Li would personally express his views with Chen Ling.

President Li was really interested in the beginning, but, for unknown reasons, he gradually raised a few questions to President Feng and asked him to verify it again.

Mr. Li's question is that Chen Ling is young. According to his background check, this person's background in China is unremarkable, but he suddenly appeared after he came to Algeria. This is unreasonable. Although Mr. Feng's previous analysis listed one, two and three, there is no direct evidence for one thing.

It's not surprising that President Li's question is placed on ordinary people, so President Feng is not easy to refute. He wants to find better and more direct evidence.

However, in the past two days, it seems that Mr. Li’s translator and secretary has found some relationship. It is said that he can directly discuss cooperation with the boss of the Ministry of Communications and the port company. So Mr. Li gradually reduced his attention to Chen Ling's side, and took his secretary out frequently in the past two days just for this port project.

Mr. Feng did not directly participate, but knew that they had met with the heads of the Department of Water Transport of the Ministry of Communications, the Infrastructure Section of the Port Company and other departments.

Mr. Feng is anxious, because although these officials are useful, they are all technical officials and cannot make decisions. Secondly, Mr. Feng is worried that Mr. Li's time and energy will be dispersed, and he may finally abandon the line of Chen Ling.

So last night, Mr. Feng and Mr. Li once again brought up Chen Ling's plan. President Li clearly requested that if Chen Lingneng brought him to see the Minister of Transportation or the officials in the Presidential Office in charge of corresponding affairs, he would consider Chen Ling's plan again.

Mr. Feng didn't know whether Chen Ling could see the Minister, so before he went on a business trip today, he had to make a clear statement with Chen Ling to see Chen Ling's attitude.

After listening to Feng's words, Chen Ling smiled and drank a few more sips of water.

Why do you let yourself go to see the minister?

Dehuche wants Chen Ling to meet his father to break down the pressure; CS wants him to see the minister to get into the relationship. However, meeting the minister at this time was of no special significance, because this project Chen Ling couldn't do it himself, and a large group had to do it together.

"President Feng, you can meet the minister, but we have to be prepared, what will we talk about with the minister, okay?" Chen Ling said.

His request is not excessive, on the contrary, it is very reasonable. Can’t you just introduce CS when you meet the minister? It doesn't make much sense, a waste of opportunity.

Chen Ling knows that it is easy to meet the minister himself, but for many companies, meeting the minister is a very precious opportunity.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will prepare. When do you plan to meet him? The boss of the port company will do as well." Mr. Feng said.

"I'll call and ask, if the minister is free, we'll meet up, okay?" Chen Ling wrote lightly.

Mr. Feng was taken aback, and said, "But I'm on a business trip right away, and Olan's affairs are also very important, and I won't be back in three days."

"No problem, I'll make an appointment first, and see him when you come back. If you want to go, you, President Li, will also go." Chen Ling smiled. He can easily make an appointment with the minister by calling or calling Dehouche.

Mr. Feng looked at the time and got up and said, “Then it’s so set. After about three days, I will talk to Mr. Li and get ready.”

After leaving Mr. Feng away, Chen Ling went back to the room to wash.

He took a shower, took out the newly bought perfume and sprayed it on. After thinking about it, I opened the bag I brought back in the desert and started to choose gifts.

Chen Ling chose a bracelet for Lilia with gold inlaid with rubies; for Grandma Lilia a long necklace, a slender gold chain, and the pendant was an emerald, which fell to her chest.

Chen Ling knew that these were precious metals, but didn't know what grade these gems were, so he picked them out when they looked pretty.

Finally, he picked a ring for himself. This ring is very ordinary, the whole body is gold, there are no gems inlaid in it. It's just that there is a symbol on the ring where the gems are usually inlaid, and Chen Ling doesn't recognize it.

Chen Ling put on the ring, feeling a bit like a rich man. Looking at himself in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction.

Today, I made an appointment to meet with Dehuche, to buy gifts for his old man.

Chen Ling considered buying two jewelry boxes by the way, and put Lilia's bracelet and her grandma's necklace together, so that it would look good as a gift.

The meeting place was in Sidela, a French coffee shop not far from the construction site.

When Chen Ling arrived, Dehuche had already been waiting there. This is relatively rare among locals who are used to being late.

The two greeted them, and Dehuche took out an envelope with materials from several companies. Dehuche handled an offshore company for Chen Ling, and then the offshore company registered a joint venture company in Algeria.

The name of the joint venture company is MOIN, with Chen Ling's offshore company accounting for 70%, and Dehuche as a representative for the other 30%.

This is the first step that Dehuche and Chen Ling discussed. Later, we will participate in the port project in the name of this company.

Chen Ling probably looked around, accepted the materials, and said, "Dehuche, I want to buy a few things today. In addition to the gift for your father, please help me choose two jewelry boxes."

With that, he took out the bracelet and necklace from his bag and put them on the table.

Dehuche's eyes lit up, he picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, his face showing a surprised expression. He looked at the necklace again, his mouth opened and couldn't close.

"Mr. Chen, may I ask, where did you buy these jewelry?" Dehuche asked eagerly, "Is it still available for sale?"

Chen Ling didn't know if this kind of jewelry was available in the market, and said, "I was given to me by someone else. Why, is it valuable?"

"Great!" Dehuche admired. "Great, Mr. Chen, these two things, if I read correctly, are the jewelry used by the royal family before, and this is the top one. I judge with naked eyes. Gems are the best."

Chen Ling thought about the dozens of pieces of jewelry in the house, as well as the wooden box that Montel had sent over, feeling that Dehuche was a bit exaggerated.

"I'm going to give it away. You can choose two boxes for me."

"Give it to someone? Mr. Chen, what kind of person is worthy of such an expensive gift from you?"
