There are many kinds of deserters, those who retreat without permission on the battlefield are considered deserters, and if it is placed in the mall, the Chen Group withdraws from Malaysia, which sounds like a strategic transfer, but in the bones, it is still because of the pressure brought by Avalon, so that the leadership of the Chen Group, including Chen Xinyi, made the decision to withdraw the investment.

The decision is very good, but the entire withdrawal of a huge group is a thousand times more difficult than the relocation of a big tree, not to mention anything else, just talking about the handling of personnel, it is an extremely headache, more than 90 percent of the country's employees will be dismissed, Zhang Xuan estimates that this cost alone is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.

At first glance, it sounds like a lot, but in fact it is nothing, like Ford, a worldwide company, a labor dispute settlement reserve, as high as billions of dollars, people who do not understand will naturally feel extremely exaggerated, but hundreds of thousands of employees, billions of dollars fall on people's heads, it is only tens of thousands of dollars, compared with the capitalist countries that have been extremely perfect in the protection of workers' rights and interests, a worker's compensation of tens of thousands of dollars is simply not a problem.

The reason why the Chen Group only paid a price of hundreds of millions of dollars is not all because of the small number of people, although Malaysia is already developing into a completely capitalist country, but after all, the degree of development is not insufficient, and the salary level and the degree of legal perfection have also given the Chen Group a lot of advantages.

But even so, it is still enough for Zhang Xuan to be busy, as the leader of the law firm, responsible for the legal related matters of the entire group, Zhang Xuan is busy these days and has almost no time to sleep. In addition to dealing with these legal matters, Zhang Xuan also had to deal with government agencies.

On the surface, what the Chen Group needs to pay is only hundreds of millions of dollars in severance compensation, but in fact, the auction appraisal price of some real estate has already made the Chen Group make a lot of money.

So in general, the Chen Group's divestment is difficult but not painful, even if it is not difficult to find a country with a lower cost of human resources than Malaysia, it is the Malaysian government that has really been hit hard by the Chen Group's behavior.

That's why the Malaysian government is doing everything to obstruct it.

The presidential palace has called me an unknown number of times, saying that His Excellency the president is willing to negotiate with Chen Xinyi, who is now at the helm of the Chen Group, to try to retain the Chen Group, but Chen Xinyi has a resolute attitude towards the invitation of the presidential palace.

She wasn't going to see the president, and she was disappointed in the president when she had been detained by the General Department of Taxation for a whole day, and now she had to bear her wrath since the president had chosen to side with Avalon.

Don't underestimate a businessman, in a real capitalist country, businessmen, or to be more precise about capitalists, the energy in their hands can be said to be terrifying, and in a society where money is supreme, there is almost nothing that capitalists who hold the magic wand of the economy cannot do.

The capitalists were outraged, and the consequences were severe.

In capitalist countries, the power of the president is actually mainly concentrated externally, and at home, the orders signed and issued by the president himself must also be within the framework of the law, but don't forget that the laws of capitalist society are themselves made by the capitalist class, even if they behave fairly and selflessly, everything in their bones is still to allow capital, a predator, to swim and eat freely.

As long as everything the Chen Group does is within the scope of the law, then even the president can't do too much to obstruct it.

Of course, not everyone can regard the president and the government as nothing, at least in the entire Chen Group, only Chen Xinyi and Zhang Xuan, can not put the President Ma and the government in their eyes, other employees, even some high-level managers, their roots are always here, unless they settle down and move with the Chen Group.

After several days of preparation, the first batch of properties sold by the Chen Group officially entered the auction. The auction was held at 8pm at an extremely prestigious auction house in Kuala Lumpur.

Originally, Zhang Xuan didn't want Chen Xinyi to participate, but just as Zhang Xuan was about to leave for the auction hall, he saw Chen Xinyi, Zhang Ran and Sally walking out.

"Miss, you ...... this"

Chen Xinyi and the three of them were dressed very formally, and even Zhang Ran wore dark suits and ties, which was still the outfit that Chen Xinyi chose when she accompanied Zhang Ran.

"Since it is an auction of the assets of our Chen Group, I also want to take a look." Chen Xinyi was smiling, and she seemed to be in a good mood. But Zhang Ran frowned and said, "Although it is safe in the auction hall, it is ...... all the way."

"The mercenaries of our mercenary group will be responsible for protecting Mr. Chen's safety throughout the whole process, and Zhang Ran is also here, so there should be no problem." Sally stepped forward to answer this question for Chen Xinyi. Zhang Xuan's eyes moved to Sally, he always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that Sally at this time looked too much like Chen Xinyi's personal assistant.

In fact, Zhang Xuan's judgment is very correct, when Sally and Chen Xinyi reached a united front alliance, she herself was used to putting herself in the position of assistant, although Chen Xinyi and Anna or Wuying are fundamentally different types, but as the president of a super large group, Chen Xinyi has enough domineering to make Sally surrender.

"Get in the car."

Chen Xinyi didn't give Zhang Xuan more chance to speak, and the mercenaries of Blood Rose had already driven Chen Xinyi's car out, and the group of five cars left the Chen Group building again and headed towards tonight's auction house.

Before the official start at eight o'clock, Chen Xinyi and others entered the auction venue in a low-key manner, Zhang Xuan, who had already made arrangements, was naturally able to lead Chen Xinyi and others into a box to ensure privacy, out of consideration for safety, Zhang Xuan did not tell the people in the auction hall the news of Chen Xinyi's personal arrival, so most of the people who participated in tonight's auction did not know that Chen Xinyi would come in person.

When the clock struck eight o'clock, the host in a suit and leather shoes with a spring breeze on his face strode up to the auction stand, picked up the microphone, and announced the official start of tonight's auction.

Although the Chan Group has real estate to be auctioned tonight, the auction will not only auction these real estates, but also some valuable items such as jewelry and antiques will also be auctioned among the real estate of the Chen Group, and the first thing to be auctioned is a Damascus sword that is said to be more than 500 years old and comes from the Age of Discovery.

Foreigners' concept of swords is different from that of Chinese people, and a unified word covers all Chinese people's single-handed weapons such as knives and swords. Zhang Ran looked at the weapon held by the host's hands, it was clearly an Arab scimitar, and judging from the patterns that could be seen, Zhang Ran didn't think that this Arab scimitar had much to do with the Damascus sword, and even Zhang Ran was a little skeptical that this thing was a product of that era.

After all, this is not Sotheby's, and who can guarantee that the so-called antiques will be genuine?

It's Chen Xinyi, although she doesn't understand this, but when she found that Zhang Ran watched it with relish, she couldn't help but whisper: "Like it?" If you like it, buy it. ”

"It's not that I like it, I'm just a little curious, things like these are actually not practical anymore, no matter how good the swords of that era are, they can't be compared with the blades made of modern metal craftsmanship, oh, it's actually worth 300,000 dollars, you must know that a 3,000-dollar dogleg from the Cold Steel Company can easily cut this Arab scimitar into two ......"

Regarding Zhang Ran's argument, whether it was Chen Xinyi or Sally, a strange look appeared on their faces.

"What, I said it wrong? If you don't believe it, you can ask her, the knives produced by the cold steel company are actually not the top, I know a cold weapon enthusiast, he made his own knives, the performance is more excellent, and the most expensive is only tens of thousands of dollars. ”

Chen Xinyi shook her head with a smile and said in a low voice: "Zhang Ran, when people buy such a knife back, I'm afraid they haven't thought about using it, and the performance doesn't matter at all." ”

"I know......" Zhang Ran smiled a little embarrassedly, of course he was not a fool, and he also knew what the meaning of the antique itself was, he just had his own opinion on the antique of weapons such as knives.

"A weapon, if it has a spirit of its own, is afraid that it would rather drink the blood of the enemy on the battlefield, even if it is broken in the battle array, it is better to be buried in a grave or to be buttered and hung on the wall. A true sword will only be shattered in a grinding battle, not a specimen to be admired......" As he spoke, Zhang Ran's voice became lower and lower, as a sadness suddenly rose in his heart.

Aren't weapons, mercenaries just weapons?

The only difference is between things and people. Just like these mercenaries, once they are made into mercenaries by fate, is their fate only to fight to the death? Like an old knife, like a fast hand, like cold-blooded, he obviously had the opportunity to be hung on the wall, but in the end he couldn't help but return to the battlefield, even if he was crushed on the battlefield, he had no regrets.

"Zhang Ran, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps sensing Zhang Ran's mood change, Chen Xinyi asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's watch the auction." Zhang Ran spoke, raised his head, and refocused his gaze into the auction room, perhaps because of the location of the box, when Zhang Ran's eyes swept over the entire auction hall, he suddenly let out a low snort.

"Look, we are at three o'clock, at the gate, the few people who came in, is there a person who is very familiar!"

With Zhang Ran's reminder, everyone, including Zhang Xuan, looked at the door of the auction hall together.
