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

Chen Ling smiled and did not answer Dehuche's question. There are some things, just know it by yourself.

Dehuche was not easy to follow up, but he was thinking that the Algerian woman was worthy of Chen Ling's gift.

In fact, Dehuqie wanted to cross it. Chen Ling didn't know how valuable these two pieces of jewelry were, he just thought they looked good; Chen Ling never thought about what kind of women Lilia and her grandmother are, and whether they are worthy of this jewelry. .

The two left the cafe and went to a handicraft market to select jewelry boxes and gifts for Dehuche's father.

Dehuche recommended several jewelry boxes, all of which are in a strong Arabic style. Finally, Chen Ling chose a jewelry box with Syrian shell inlay craftsmanship. This process uses the inner luster of the pearl oyster such as a rainbow nacre layer, which is inlaid on the wooden box after processing, forming various patterns and colors.

Chen Ling chose two sea-blue shell inlaid jewelry boxes. His idea is that these two pieces of jewellery come from the desert and put them in a jewellery box from the ocean.

Dehuche told Chen Ling that his father had a hobby of collecting hats and there were hundreds of hats in his family. In this handicraft market, sometimes unique hats appear, which can be bought and given to his father.

The two went around the market twice, but they didn't find this kind of hat. Most of the items sold on the market are in the collections of Dehuche’s father.

Just as the two were about to leave in disappointment, Chen Ling suddenly thought of the straw hat that Chinese workers like to wear. The main function of this kind of straw hat is to block the sun. The sunshine in Algeria is very strong during the dry season. Workers like to wear a straw hat on the construction site first, and then buckle the helmet on the outside of the straw hat.

What's more interesting is that most people's straw hats are printed with the word "Shanghai", and some are printed with general signs of railway traffic.

Chen Ling thought, this is also a Chinese characteristic, and it is very likely that there is no such straw hat in the collection of the Minister of Transportation. He and Dehuche said that, as expected, Dehuche thought his father hadn't collected this kind of hat.

Chen Ling called Wang Jing on the spot and asked him to collect two new straw hats with Chinese characters printed on them. Wang Jing agreed and went to get it right away.

Before the two separated, Dehuche told Chen Ling that he could go to the port company tomorrow afternoon and sign the memorandum of understanding for the port project in the name of MOIN.

With the memorandum of understanding, Chen Ling can justly promote the port project.

Chen Ling has been waiting for this document. Before that, he was unable to sign it because he had no entity. With this memorandum of understanding, I believe that the leaders of CS will have enough confidence in Chen Ling.

Because Chen Ling knows that CS company has not signed this document so far.

Chen Ling left Sidel and did not return to the camp, but went to Fairchild Security Company.

Last night, François proposed that instead of starting a security service company from scratch, it would be better to directly acquire a security company and quickly enter this field. At that time, François's opinion was that he could talk to Fairchild. François was once one of the heads of this company and knew the situation very well.

The four people discussed it and thought this method was feasible. Especially Chen Ling thinks this idea is good, because he thinks it is too troublesome to start from scratch.

Acquiring a company is also a troublesome thing, often stepping on "landmines", but because of Francois's relationship, this matter has become simple.

The four of them made an appointment to visit Fairchild's company today.

Fairchild is an international security company that has established a subsidiary in Algeria. This subsidiary is to be acquired this time.

In fact, since militants attacked the secret military warehouse at the port of Algiers, Fairchild’s business in Algeria can be said to have been dubious. On the one hand, because of its “successful protection of military secret warehouses” and its reputation, its business in the private sector has grown rapidly; on the other hand, Fairchild’s most important customer in Algeria is the military, and the military is in the port. After the warehouse incident, various secret warehouses were completely rectified, and Fairchild lost a lot of business, which caused difficulties in the cash flow of Fairchild during this period of time.

Fairchild's headquarters is very dissatisfied with this and considers to temporarily withdraw from Algeria's security market.

This gave Chen Ling an opportunity for the four of them.

In Fairchild’s office, a deal was quickly negotiated. Chen Lingsi purchased all the assets and business of Fairchild Company in Algeria with 3 million US dollars in cash.

3 million U.S. dollars to obtain a well-trained team of hundreds of people, dozens of ongoing contracts, as well as ready-made facilities, weapons and equipment, business licenses, etc. Chen Ling and the four have already prepared 30 million US dollars to start the company, and now it has only spent one-tenth.

Bill proposed to divide the remaining money.

"Our business will also be internationalized in the future." Chen Ling said, "not only in North Africa, but also in sub-Saharan countries to develop business. Therefore, the remaining money is reserved for future use."

Molly poured cold water: "This internationalization is not so easy. Every country has strict requirements on security companies. When it comes to weapons, the government is very cautious."

"It doesn't matter, we can expand the company's business a bit, not only for security, we also do logistics. Enter the market with logistics services, and then develop security business." Chen Ling said.

Francois immediately agreed: "This is a good idea. These two businesses are complementary. Important logistics infrastructures such as ports, airports, and railways all need security; some remote land transportation lines also need security. In Africa, this Both businesses are promising."

Bill smiled and said, "François, I think you know these industries well. Will you be the CEO of the company?"

Chen Ling said: "Yes!"

François didn't seem to be very happy: "I'm the CEO? I can lead someone to be a security guard, but I can't manage a company."

"You are wrong, François. The company we acquired is business as usual, and you, the CEO, did a good job." Bill insisted that François be the CEO.

Molly said: "The chairman and all the directors can be changed once, and the others remain the same. The four of us have no suitable management company."

Chen Ling is a major shareholder. He said, "Let’s find a lawyer to start the acquisition procedure. Regarding the management, François, you have to manage the business, Molly, you have to manage the finances, and Bill is in charge of the personnel."

The three of François booed and did not agree. The three of them, especially Bill, are used to being free and loose, and it is impossible to be tied into the company.

"Listen to me." Chen Ling said with a smile, "I mean you are responsible for these aspects, not for you to directly manage these things, but for you to find corresponding candidates to manage these things."

Molly smiled and said, "Chairman, what are you doing then?"

Chen Ling never thought that he would do something specific in the security company, but he couldn't say it at this time, otherwise Molly and the three would follow suit.

Chen Ling changed the subject: "I have a choice, suitable for the company's secretary."

"Secretary? Woman?" Molly's eyes were bad.

"Yes, it's a woman." Chen Ling was a little vacant, although he didn't have any other thoughts.

"Humph!" Molly snorted coldly, "You are the chairman, and anyone can arrange for it. Arrange someone to manage the finances, chairman!"

"I just promised her to help her find a job." Chen Ling defended, looking pale and weak.

François sensed that the atmosphere had changed a little, and said: "I will also find people to do business. I can't stay still, I still like to lead people in action. Bill, do you have a choice?"

Bill smiled and said, "Candidate? François, do you really think I know someone who is a professional person?"

Chen Ling felt a headache. Business management is a specialized subject. Apart from François, who has some experience, Chen Ling is a layman. However, fortunately, Fairchild's management system is more critical, and the entire team is mature and capable. This matter is not particularly anxious.

"Well, let's find someone to complete the acquisition procedures first." Chen Ling said, "Then, we will slowly transition to build a team we can trust."

But Molly clung to the original topic, approached Chen Ling, pointed under him, and asked tiredly: "Your secretary, will you wash your hair?"
