"Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in old men!" Ye Chen glanced at the elderly and smiled awkwardly.

"Get lost!" Kun Wuchang said irritably. "What exactly do you want? Don't beat around the bush, just say it!"

"Sir, didn't you just say?" Ye Chen said. "Besides money, you can give anything!"

"..." Kun Wuchang's face froze at Ye Chen's words.

Besides money, anything can be given...

This statement is too broad. If Ye Chen doesn't want money and wants to be Huaxia's chairman, can they give it?

Kun Wuchang regretted his words, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot.

"Ye Chen, just say what you want, we'll try our best to fulfill it!" Li Kuishou said.

Compared to Kun Wuchang's anything-can-be-given, Li Kuishou's words were much more skillful; he said they would try to fulfill, but not that they definitely would!

"Try your best to fulfill?" Ye Chen frowned and looked at Kun Wuchang. "This gentleman said besides money, anything can be given!"

"He..."

Li Kuishou tried to cover up, but before he could think of a reason, he was interrupted by Kun Wuchang.

"Ye Chen, I was wrong!" Kun Wuchang said. "I was just bragging earlier, don't take it seriously!"

"..."

This time it was Ye Chen's turn to be dumbfounded. Kun Wuchang said so frankly, if someone takes it seriously, they're an idiot. Ye Chen couldn't take it seriously even if he wanted to.

Seeing Ye Chen's dumbfounded expression, a group of elders gave Kun Wuchang a thumbs up. This old man is really clever!

Ye Chen is a little fox, if you want to take advantage of him, you'd better throw caution to the wind, don't bother picking up what's left!

"Alright, let's talk business!" Ye Chen said.

"Speak!" The group of elders looked at Ye Chen with serious expressions.

Ye Chen asking them for several trillion was completely absurd, not to be taken seriously! However, Ye Chen said it this way as a setup, preparing them mentally!

"My conditions are not excessive, so you must agree, otherwise we'll part ways!" Ye Chen said.

"Tell us the conditions first!" Li Kuishou said.

Ye Chen's attitude was too strong, leaving no room at all, which amused them and frustrated them.

Ye Chen is too tricky, flipping the situation around like the sea's Nezha, too difficult to control.

"My conditions are simple: give me resources so my companies can operate and become the strongest in Huaxia, even globally!" Ye Chen said.

Yanran International, Wanshi Medicine, Ye Film Industry, all are Ye Chen's companies!

Moreover, these companies are industry leaders, with virtually no competitors, already at the top of the industry!

But Ye Chen was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to go further, to monopolize the industry!

However, how easy is it to talk about industry monopoly?

The biggest hurdle to Ye Chen's desire for a monopoly is not other companies, but Huaxia!

Huaxia has strict legal regulations, simply not allowing industry monopolies due to their negative impact!

So, what Ye Chen wants in resources is not money, but a pardon token, a special privilege!

"You've already left Earth, why run a company?"

The elders understood Ye Chen's intention, but didn't grasp his motives.

Ye Chen stood at the peak of the universe, not competing in the cosmic realm, why start a company?

Does money still hold meaning for Ye Chen?

"I don't like running a company, but my woman does, and that's enough!"

Ye Chen has been carefree for so long, acting as an idle boss, it's time to play his part.

"Monopolies have great harm, we need to think about it!" Li Kuishou pondered, seeming very troubled.

"Is it difficult for you to let my company grow?" Ye Chen said.

"You want a monopoly!" Li Kuishou said. "Industry monopoly is harmful, even state enterprises don't dare monopolize, let alone your company!"

"I said earlier, if you don't agree, then we part ways!" Ye Chen said. "Since you find it difficult, let's break up!"

Ye Chen knew his worth, hence his strong stance, refusing to compromise!

In fact, Ye Chen wasn't being excessive, he only asked for some privileges to let his company expand freely.

If they don't even agree to that, why should Ye Chen protect them?

"Ye Chen, wait a moment!" Li Kuishou saw Ye Chen about to leave, hastily grabbed him.

"Sir, I've made myself clear, if you don't agree, there's nothing I can do!" Ye Chen said.

"We're just hesitant, not refusing!" Li Kuishou said.

Ye Chen's firm stance left them helpless, forcing their compromise!

"No, no, no!" Ye Chen shook his head. "While you hesitate, I feel I'm losing, so I've changed my mind!"

"What?" Li Kuishou shouted.

"I feel you lack sincerity, so I've decisively given up!" Ye Chen said.

"How are we insincere?" Li Kuishou said, feeling wronged.

"I ask you for money, you find it difficult; I ask for power, you hesitate. Is that sincerity?" Ye Chen nitpicked.

"We truly find it difficult!" Li Kuishou said.

"Mm, I know you find it difficult!" Ye Chen agreed. "So, I've given up cooperation to relieve you!"

"..."

Seeing Ye Chen's carefree attitude, a group of elders was infuriated, wanting to stomp him.

"I've transcended Heaven and Earth, and don't care about any material!" Ye Chen suddenly said. "So, I consider for you, not making it too difficult!"

"But, I considered for you, you didn't consider for me!"

"I'm at least an epic havoc, even if not supreme in the cosmos, I'm still ranked!"

"People like me value cause and effect most!"

"If you don't invest, why should I protect you?" Ye Chen looked at the group of elders seriously.

"..."

Ye Chen's tone was extraordinarily sincere, leaving the elders speechless, unable to refute.

Indeed!

Someone like Ye Chen values cause and effect and wouldn't fight life and death for Huaxia without reason!

Moreover, Ye Chen's terms seem difficult, but aren't tough at all!

Because whether it's trillions or industry monopoly, they can afford both!

Ye Chen didn't say he wants to be chairman, which was enough face for them!

"Alright, if there's nothing, I'll be on my way!" Ye Chen glanced at the elders and prepared to leave.

"Ye Chen!" Li Kuishou panicked.

"Don't say it!" Ye Chen said. "Earth is my hometown, Huaxia is my home, even if you don't say, I will protect here!"

"..."

Ye Chen spoke righteously, leaving the elders solemn, already remorseful.

"Leaving now!"

At this moment, Ye Chen strode forward, waving emphatically to the elders, exuding a freedom impossible to ignore.

"Ye Chen, we were wrong!" Finally, the elders reacted and rushed to stop Ye Chen.
