Chapter 357 - 353: Ceding Power
After listening to Zhao Zhengxiong’s analysis, Ling Chen looked at him in a new light. He always thought Zhao was careless, but he turned out to be a meticulous person with a great sense of the bigger picture, not blinded by immediate lucrative gains but rather able to see through them and act accordingly.
Before, Ling Chen thought only Jiang Hao was smart, but it seems Zhao Zhengxiong is not bad either.
Ling Chen smirked and nodded, "You’ve thought it through well. Since you’re suggesting this, you must have a complete plan. Let’s hear it."
With Ling Chen’s affirmation, Zhao Zhengxiong felt encouraged and continued, "The Old City is our stronghold, we definitely can’t lose it. Moreover, the Central District is the center of East Sea City, the most prosperous area. We can’t let such a juicy slice slip away. The East District is adjacent to both the Old City and Central District, which makes it easy to manage. My idea is to only keep these two districts. We can give up the West District and South District to others."
"Good, I support your decision." Ling Chen didn’t hesitate; Zhao Zhengxiong’s analysis was logical and sound, making this the best arrangement. With that said, Ling Chen turned to Jiang Yunkai, "How is the progress with those four security companies?"
"After preliminary screening, only a bit more than thirty individuals meet the basic conditions."
Jiang Yunkai finished speaking, Zhao Zhengxiong couldn’t help but complain, "Chen, don’t blame me for nagging, but isn’t Kai a bit too harsh? I sent over four hundred people, and not even one-tenth got selected."
"My plan is to transform the security company into a top-notch individual combat team, naturally the selection must be strict. Give me half a year to train them, those thirty plus people will be as effective as three hundred, I assure you won’t be disappointed."
"Really? That’s impressive."
It wasn’t just Zhao Zhengxiong and Nanrong Hao; even Ling Chen was somewhat skeptical, thinking Jiang Yunkai’s statement was an exaggeration.
