Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 579 - 386: Kunlun! (Double Length) (Part 2)

Chapter 579: Chapter 386: Kunlun! (Double Length) (Part 2)

In "Mu Heavenly Son," it also mentions that King Mu of Western Zhou rode the Eight Stallions westward and saw the Western Mother at Kunlun Mountain.

The story is about the earliest traveler, King Mu of Western Zhou, who once traversed Tianshan and ascended Kunlun, eventually seeing the Western Mother at the Jasper Pool.

However, these tales are too fantastical, often regarded as mythical stories fabricated by people of that era.

But now, the "Land of Eternal Life" that the Gwen Clan has been searching for is unexpectedly also at Kunlun Mountain...

Coupled with those legends... it’s intriguing and imaginative.

Myth... Eternal life...

Qi Yun flipped out of bed, came to the sofa, lit a cigarette, and the words "Kunlun Mountain" echoed repeatedly in his mind.

He didn’t believe De Gaulle was deceiving him, because there was no reason to.

If the other party didn’t want him to know the real location, they could have kept this information from him, especially when he was unaware of the specific progress in solving it.

The reason De Gaulle disclosed this information to him was likely purposeful, probably to leverage his influence in Huaxia to facilitate subsequent operations.

"Phew~"

Qi Yun exhaled a long plume of smoke and detached himself from chaotic thoughts. It’s useless to dwell on these now; the key is that if any secrets are truly found, he can’t let that guy take full advantage.

Having made a decision, he stopped dwelling on these matters and began to receive today’s intelligence reports.

[Current Intelligence Points: 15]

[Today’s Intelligence 1 (Red): The day before yesterday, Japan’s Imperial Family discovered the theft of the Eight-footed Jade Hook, but the Emperor, fearing accountability by the public, strictly sealed this news from outside, simultaneously arranging forces for a secret investigation, including the FBI team in Japan;

Currently, the fugitive Ichiro Kojima, who fled to Seoul, has been captured by agents]

FBI!

Seeing these words, Qi Yun couldn’t help but twitch his brows.

Even though they confirmed repeatedly that no traces were left that day, he inexplicably still had some apprehension about what is reputed as the world’s most powerful intelligence agency.

After contemplating for a few seconds, he picked up his phone, composed a message for Harris, reminding him to be cautious and to avoid going to the United States anytime soon.

Harris had long transferred the 3.5 billion USD from selling the Eight-footed Jade Hook into his Swiss Bank account without revealing his identity to the buyer, so unless issues arose on Harris’ end, Qi Yun felt they shouldn’t trace back to him.

Moreover, Harris isn’t an easy character; as long as he’s not on U.S. soil, the FBI might not necessarily handle him...

[Today’s Intelligence 2 (Red): Mossad agents have located the hiding spot of Husse spokesperson Hayah, situated in the eastern part of Mulan Province, planning retaliatory action for Husse’s sneak attack with the second round targeting Hayah, scheduled for 4 AM today]

Hmm?

Qi Yun was taken aback, having seen the news earlier in the morning about Israel’s sneak attack on Husse, and now another piece of intelligence arrives.

The other party happened to assist him at sea once before, knowing this, he couldn’t just stand by idly, right?

He checked the time, it was already nearing half-past three in the morning, with only half an hour left before the raid time, heedless of whether Salaman had rested, he immediately dialed the number.

"Doo doo doo..."

The phone rang for quite a while before being answered.

"Hello, Qi Yun, is there something you need?" Salaman’s voice sounded muddled, though awakened in the middle of the night, there was no trace of displeasure in his tone.

Qi Yun wasted no words, promptly informing the other party of the matter: "Just now, a friend told me some news..."

After listening, Salaman swiftly sat up from bed: "Can you be sure!?"

"My information is reliable and won’t be wrong." Qi Yun confidently replied.

Salaman paused for two seconds, his voice instantly losing any sleepiness, becoming exceptionally serious: "Alright, got it, thank you for telling me this news."

"Additionally, I originally had something I wanted to ask of you, but I’ll contact you after handling this matter first."

If Salaman was seeking help, it certainly wouldn’t be simple, but Qi Yun didn’t pry further, just concisely replied: "Okay, you take care of it first."

The two ended the call, Qi Yun continued looking at the last piece of intelligence.

[Today’s Intelligence 3 (Green): The internal turmoil within Bao Island’s Evergreen Marine has led major shareholder Zhang Wei to complete disappointment with the company, deciding to sell off all his shares, currently searching for suitable candidates]

Evergreen Marine.

One of the world’s largest shipping companies, also one of the most profitable shipping companies.

Its routes cover global locations, with a market value exceeding hundreds of billions.

The company operates hundreds of merchant ships, an absolute industry overlord.

Moreover, shipping is not only a profitable business but also a crucial element controlling the lifeline of global logistics.

Especially in cross-border trade and resources transportation, whoever holds shipping channels can occupy a proactive position in the industry chain.

Qi Yun stroked his chin, quickly calculating in his mind.

This Zhang Wei intends to sell shares, not favoring the internal shareholders’ foundation but seeking candidates outside, there must be some rationale here...

Could he seize the opportunity to acquire the shares from the other party?

Even securing just a portion would be worthwhile.

...

The next morning, Qi Yun contacted Road Xingye from Bao Island, asking him to assist in investigating the situation with Evergreen Marine.

Then began a busy day.

With Huang Zhiqiang personally instructing, all departments gave green lights, so Qi Yun and Sky Company jointly formed — Sky Shining Energy quickly completed the approval process.

Qi Yun held the position of vice president at Sky Shining Energy.

The general manager was a person named Ji Kai, who was around thirty years old, even younger than Qi Yun.

Everyone knew this newly established Sky Shining Energy was a prized commodity, and given how long this matter had been brewing, it was obvious how fierce the competition for this general manager position would be.

This Ji Kai managed to emerge victorious, and the power behind him is evident.

"President Qi, I look forward to your guidance in the future." Within the temporary office building of Sky Shining Energy, Ji Kai warmly shook Qi Yun’s hand, his demeanor suggesting he was more like the vice president.

"Haha, President Ji is too kind." Qi Yun wore a smile as well, since the other party offered goodwill, he was willing to accept it.

Furthermore, he wasn’t particularly concerned about who would be in charge of this new company in the future, as long as the project gets completed well and he isn’t shortchanged in dividends.

After all, he’s merely holding the position, possibly getting reassigned to the group company after some time...

"I’ve arranged a gathering this evening, and I hope President Qi will grace us with your presence so we can get acquainted, facilitating work in the future." Ji Kai released his hand and continued in a low voice.

"Sure, no problem, contact me tonight." Qi Yun agreed with a nod and a smile.

That afternoon, the Oil Country delegation arrived in Shanghai.

Leading the delegation was the Minister of Energy, a trusted associate of Salaman, knowing the intricacies of the situation.

So upon landing at the airport, he declined the official and Sky Company’s arrangements, opting to visit Qi Yun at the hotel first.

This action made many realize the clear message: the Oil Country only recognized Qi Yun.

Even after the contracts were signed, it would be impossible to oust him... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The signing ceremony’s press conference was held in the banquet hall of the International Conference Center, with not only officials and key company executives attending but also packed with journalists from various media.

Seated on the podium, Huang Zhiqiang sat centrally, with the Oil Country’s Minister of Energy to his left, and Qi Yun to his right, followed by Ji Kai, state-owned and Huayi Group executives.

Qi Yun initially asked Director Sun whether the seating order between him and Ji Kai was incorrect, only to be told it was Huang Zhiqiang’s decision.

The ceremony began with Huang Zhiqiang delivering a brief speech, lasting barely five minutes, illustrating that this individual was indeed pragmatic.

Everything proceeded smoothly thereafter, with agreements signed with the Oil Country’s representatives, solidifying the matter, and subsequently minimizing the need for Qi Yun’s involvement.

After the ceremony, numerous media outlets sought interviews with Qi Yun, all of which he politely declined.

PS: Thanks to all godfathers for the monthly votes, thank you!
