Chapter 405: Chapter 237: Inviting President Feng for a SPA

Of course, Chen Xiao couldn’t possibly solve these problems all by himself.

Xu Wu’s main goal was for him to discover certain issues and then learn to think like a boss, figuring out how to prevent them from happening again in the future.

The way he would handle a problem he discovered would certainly be different from how one of the company’s functional departments would handle it.

It was even possible that some plaza general managers, upon discovering problems during their own inspections, would cover them up just to protect their positions.

Chen Xiao readily accepted this job. In fact, he had to accept it.

Junxiao Group was his, Zhao Xiangjun’s, and Xu Wu’s business. In fact, it was mainly his and Zhao Xiangjun’s. He couldn’t just remain completely uninvolved.

Besides, these kinds of problems weren’t exclusive to the Junxiao Business Management Association.

Didn’t Junxing Auto have them? In the supply chain’s pricing system, adding a little extra anywhere could create huge profits. Chen Xiao couldn’t intervene much in this area for now, but he would gradually get involved in the future.

What about Junxiao Capital? If problems arose there, they would be major cases that severely damaged the company’s interests. Fortunately, Xu Wu had a firm grip on this area, and Chen Xiao had his "Wisdom Eye" to see investment returns. If a situation developed differently from the return rate he saw, it meant something was wrong.

The Junxiao Hotel Management Group would have them too. Wherever there was profit, there would be corruption. So, Boss Chen couldn’t just loaf around anymore. He could combine his inspection tours with a bit of leisure.

Xu Wu didn’t stay in Chen Xiao’s office for long. She was too busy. After confirming the plan to invest in Hassan’s new international security company, "Blue Star Guard," she briefly discussed current work issues with Chen Xiao, brainstormed some solutions, and then returned to her own office.

She had to immediately arrange for Xiao Qi to follow the plan agreed upon with Chen Xiao and reach a consensus with Hassan as quickly as possible.

As if Hassan would have any objections. What was the difference between the terms Junxiao Group was offering and just giving him free money?

Junxiao Group would invest 30 million US Dollars, and Hassan’s team would invest 20 million US Dollars, for a share split of 51% to 49%.

This already exceeded Hassan’s wildest expectations. After all, Junxiao Group was the rich patron. What did he, Hassan, have? A few lives that weren’t worth much?

In his experience, in places like the Middle East or Southeast Asia, money could buy lives. Money was everything.

Weren’t people like them just selling their lives before?

This investment from Junxiao Group was angel investing—no, it could only be considered seed investment!

Where in the world could you find an investment firm that would throw 30 million US Dollars at a few mercenaries in a seed round? What was the difference between this and a handout?

Hassan said excitedly to Xiao Qi, "Junxiao Group is badass!"

Xiao Qi was exasperated. Ever since Hassan had learned this "term of praise," it had practically become his catchphrase. For everything, he would give a thumbs-up and exclaim, "Badass!"

Then, when he heard the clause stating that for all the equipment he purchased from Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group, Junxiao Group would subsidize half the cost in the form of "humanitarian aid"!

Hassan almost fell to his knees. "Junxiao Group is truly better to me than Allah, better to me than my own father!"

Xiao Qi had no idea what President Xu was thinking to offer such generous terms. The key was that there was no upper limit on Hassan’s procurement amount. ’As long as you buy, we’ll subsidize!’

’Shouldn’t this be something Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group is doing? Why is it Junxiao Group instead?’

This was like buying a product from Store A, only for Store B to give you a rebate. Such a strange thing was unheard of!

"Xiao Qi, can I purchase 50 million US Dollars worth of equipment from Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group?"

Even though Junxiao Group said there was no limit, Hassan was afraid of looking too greedy and angering them, which might lead to them cutting him off later.

Xu Wu had anticipated this and already given instructions.

Xiao Qi smiled and replied, "It’s fine. Even if you go into debt to buy it, Junxiao Group won’t care. Everything will be handled according to the terms of the contract!"

"I should remind you, though, that some equipment probably can’t be sold to you initially. You know, due to regulations, sensitive gear can’t even get through customs!"

Hassan knew this. Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group certainly wouldn’t provide him with their most advanced equipment at first. But even technology that Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group considered obsolete would be enough to let him dominate the field in his region!

Compared to what he’d been able to get his hands on before, this was generations ahead.

Besides, Xiao Qi had implied it couldn’t be provided *for now*, not *forever*. He believed that as their cooperation deepened, some of those forbidden territories would gradually be opened to him.

’The prerequisite is that I have to win Junxiao Group’s trust!’

With terms this good, Hassan would have to be an idiot to refuse.

He was no idiot, and he immediately pledged his loyalty.

"Xiao Qi, I have no more requests. I will do everything just as Junxiao Group arranges. From now on, I, Hassan, will be Junxiao Group’s blade overseas."

Xiao Qi chuckled. "Don’t be so hasty. I’m not finished yet!"

’There’s more?’ Hassan’s expression immediately turned serious. He guessed that Junxiao Group was finally about to state its demands.

After all, it would be unreasonable for them to offer such great terms without asking for something in return. Right now, Hassan was filled with gratitude for Junxiao Group. As long as their request was something he could accomplish, he would agree without a second thought.

"Junxiao Group requires that within the first month of your security company’s establishment, it must have no fewer than 300 officially contracted employees. Hired mercenaries don’t count!"

Hassan was stunned. ’What kind of requirement is this? For an international security company, you need a lot of people. Once business really takes off, having tens of thousands of employees is normal. What kind of demand is a mere 300 people?’
