"Ping An, you are partly right."
Chen Xiaolong said, "I called you here so early in the morning, one reason is to let you know about this place. I'll be here whenever you come to Paris.
I probably won’t go back to the manor often.
My people will slowly expand from this block, take their time, I'm not in a hurry.
I'm not even 20 yet, why should I be in such a hurry? "
Chen Pingan looked into his eyes quietly, "You may not be very old, but you have great ambitions.
I believe that among all the people in the Chen family, no one is more ambitious than you.
Including when I first heard your name, my third uncle said that you have your own ideas about the management and development of the family.
From that moment on, I knew you were a very ambitious person."
Chen Xiaolong smiled and said, "What's the use of just having ambition?
Without money, guns, and power, you can't do anything.
So I really need money. With money I can buy guns and men.
The most useful thing I learned from you is that you can give up all the gains and benefits just to achieve your most important goal.
I learned this in two years.
I feel that with this, I can gain a firm foothold in the Parisian underworld for at least three to five years!"
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Maybe I don't understand your world.
Money is important, but in the face of real power, it is nothing!
I think Uncle Wu’s approach is the right one.”
Chen Xiaolong smiled and said, "Ping An, you know what? I once thought that if you don't recognize the Chen family, I will kill you!
Because you make so much money.
I don't want you to make money for the Chen family's enemies in the future, so people like you should either serve the family or die."
Hearing this, Chen Pingan was not angry.
Because he had seen similar things after his death in his previous life.
Besides, for ambitious people, talents who cannot be used by them are worse than dead ones.
If Chen Xiaolong had said this two years ago, he might have immediately started thinking of ways to kill Xiaolong first.
Now?
These words only meant one thing, that is, Chen Xiaolong decided not to hide anything from himself anymore.
In other words, go one step further than the conditions you promised yourself.
"So you see, I am now the glue that Li Yifei uses to patch up the holes.
Although I could have refused at the time, the Chen family still had branches in China, and I did owe the Huo family a favor.
After Huo Xiuzhu proposed it, I couldn't just refuse directly, otherwise my image would collapse."
He picked up his coffee and took a sip. "You should understand what I mean."
Chen Xiaolong put out his cigar, shrugged his shoulders, and looked indifferent.
"You are the only one who knows your situation best, and I am not with you.
With your abilities, I'm not worried at all. Even when it comes to protecting your family, I don't think you need my help.
Those dozen or so foreigners must be mercenaries!
It's just that their families also live with you in the manor.
I’m not worried about you.”
Chen Pingan nodded, "Now that it's come to this, I'll make you a promise.
Whenever you need money, no matter how much, as long as I have it, as long as you ask, it will be in your account within two days."
Chen Xiaolong opened his mouth and asked after a moment: "What do I need to pay?"
Chen Pingan shook his head, "It's not you, it's the Chen family who wants to make a promise to me.
Even if you all think of me as a member of the Chen family, I know in my heart that I am not.
The family I recognize does not include you.
Therefore, when you become the head of the family in the future, no matter what happens, the Chen family must help me at all costs when I need it!
As for protecting my parents and my sister, they are real Chen family members, you shouldn't ignore them."
"Even if it means the destruction of the Chen family?" Chen Xiaolong frowned, somewhat hesitant.
Chen Pingan thought for a moment before speaking.
"I have no idea.
But I have a feeling that if I continue on my current path, there will be danger in the end, and it will affect my parents and my sister.
If I were captured, I would definitely find a way to leave clues.
When the time comes, you will have to take action to get me out. As for the means... I will use any means necessary!
Even if it means kidnapping or murder, you must get me out."
Chen Xiaolong asked in surprise: "Isn't that too exaggerated?"
Chen Pingan shook his head. "I'm not exaggerating. Take Huo Xiuzhu and Li Yifei for example."
The bosses behind Huo Xiuzhu's fund company are actually Li Yifei and another person.
And now, I only know Li Yifei.
Li Yifei alone is already at the ceiling level, I dare not imagine what level the other person is at.
I want to help Li Yifei make money, but what if someone else comes forward?
Doesn't that mean I have to work for him?"
Chen Xiaolong thought about it and shook his head decisively.
"Forget it, I can't afford to offend him!" He spread his hands, "I can't afford to offend Li Yifei either, it's just that I'm not in the same place as them, and they're very powerful in China.
When they come here, they are definitely not as good as us who have lived here for many years.
But in the country, I don’t have confidence.
So I can lend you money, but I won't agree to your conditions.
I don't want the entire Chen family to be destroyed because of you.
If that's the case, I might as well go to school and be a good kid, at least my family can live well."
Chen Ping'an stared into his eyes for a while before nodding slightly.
"Forget it. Besides the 4 million I gave you, from now on, if you come to me again, we'll follow business rules.
In addition, the Chen family will withdraw their shares from my company and turn their shares into investments, just like other investors.
Do you agree to this condition?"
After picking up the cigarette box, taking out a cigar and lighting it, he looked at Chen Xiaolong's thoughtful expression and added a sentence.
"It's likely that the Chen family loses billions in profits every year."
Chen Xiaolong's expression changed.
To be honest, even if he monopolized the entire underground business in District 49, he would probably only make this much money every year.
After all, District 49 is not big.
Of course, if he really manages to monopolize District 49, he will definitely expand!
But Chen Ping'an's request would undoubtedly drag the Chen family into the abyss, which was what he didn't want to see even more.
The problem is, he and Chen Pingan were chatting face to face, and this topic came up.
Chen Pingan was forcing him to express his opinion.
He was also treated completely as the head of the Chen family, and Chen Pingan himself was talking to him as a partner.
If he sought advice from his father and fifth uncle at this time, it would undoubtedly be a sign of cowardice.
He, who had just revealed his ambition, didn't want this to happen!
But no matter how you look at it, Chen Ping'an is not worth him betting the entire Chen family on!
You know, grandpa is in the country!
Chen Xiaolong looked down at the coffee cup in his hand, thought for a moment, and then shook his head decisively.
“I can’t agree to your terms.
In any case, I have no right and should not gamble the entire Chen family.
If you force me, I would rather give up the position of the head of the Chen family and talk directly to my father or fifth uncle.
I will go back to the manor tomorrow and go to school with my schoolbag on my back, what do you think?"
