Chapter: 2787

He Yuanjiang was stunned.

Just as he didn't know what excuse or reason to use, Ye Chen suddenly came up with an idea and responded via voice message: "Ms. He, I found your contact information through the International Headhunting Company. I paid them 50,000 US dollars to find you. Originally, they were supposed to contact me first, but I think it's more direct and efficient for us to discuss this important cooperation personally."

The headhunting company is a specialized enterprise that searches for high-end talent. They're like real estate agents, familiar with all kinds of properties. In theory, as long as you pay them, they won't be able to find any information about the property owners.

At this point, the headhunting company is the same. He Yuanjiang was thrilled by Ye Chen's words and immediately gave him a thumbs up, thinking that this explanation was indeed seamless.

Sure enough, Ye Huaixiu on the other side didn't have any doubts and replied, "I understand now, but I'm really sorry. I'm currently in Syria, and it may take at least half a year for me to leave here, so it's possible I won't be able to collaborate with you, really sorry!"

Ye Chen didn't expect Ye Huaixiu to reject him immediately, but he naturally wouldn't give up easily, so he quickly replied, "I thought Ms. He was in the US, never expecting her to be in Syria. Why did she run away there?"

Ye Huaixiu replied, "I'm with a few university classmates, and we're all coming here to shoot a documentary about war. Then, we'll use the documentary as a trigger to launch a charity fund against war."

Ye Chen exclaimed, "Ms. He, if you're interested in setting up a charity fund against war, I personally can donate some money to you. If Ms. He, you can collaborate with me long-term, then I can make a one-time donation of $30 million to your charity fund."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "To be honest, it's not quite right for financial professionals like yourselves to go to Syria to shoot war documentaries. Professionals should focus on doing professional things, and documentary-making is something that can be left to professional teams. You, as financial talents, should think of all possible ways to create more wealth and job opportunities for society."

Ye Huaixiu replied, "Mr. Ye, you're saying very sensibly, but in reality, the situation in Syria is quite dangerous. Even many professional documentary-making teams don't dare to venture into such areas and get close to the war front."

"Moreover, we have also seen some European documentary teams' working methods. They generally try to stay as far away from the front lines as possible and take a very narrow perspective in their filming. Sometimes, they are even influenced by Western mainstream media, not exposing the harshness of war but praising it and beautifying it instead."

"This kind of thing can't possibly let outsiders realize how brutal war is, so it's impossible to make those who live in peaceful times aware of the significance of anti-war efforts."

Ye Chen immediately said, "Ms. He, wouldn't this work? I can sponsor your team with $2 million, allowing you to better shoot this documentary, but I only have one condition: Ms. He, you must not continue to stay in Syria. The money will go to your team, but you yourself must come to Jinling to help me set up the business of overseas transportation. How about it?"

As Ye Chen finished speaking, Ha'eruan Jiang suddenly raised her thumb to him and praised, "Great move! Leaving the tiger's den!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "This isn't like leaving a tiger's den; this is like leaving a flock of sheep from a pack of wolves."

At that moment, Haixiu replied, "Let me leave the team? That won't work! We have all mutually pledged to stay together. None of us will unilaterally retreat."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "This isn't letting you go; I'm just giving your team a better option."

As he spoke, Ye Chen deliberately changed the subject and asked her, "Ms. He, don't know how life is going in Syria? Are various supplies able to receive sufficient supply, and are personal safety measures adequate?"

Haixiu replied, "We're relatively tough here because we're currently in a war stage. Supplies are severely lacking, and as for our personal safety, the government has sent a few soldiers to protect us. Overall, it's relatively safe."

On the side, Ha'eruan Jiang heard this and suddenly relaxed her expression.

As he spoke, Ye Chen deliberately changed the subject and asked her, "According to my understanding, it seems that their government troops and opposition forces have been locked in a fierce battle for a long time. Their government troops are lacking in money, provisions, and weapons, and definitely lack training, which must mean their combat capabilities are very low. In such a situation, they only sent a few soldiers to protect your safety, so I estimate that it's basically just a formality, and you three are high-caliber individuals with no means of self-defense, let alone escaping in case something unexpected happens."

Haixiu replied hesitantly, "I don't think it's that serious, though."

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Well, that's just your opinion. If something really goes wrong, I'm afraid it won't make a difference either."

He then thought of something and spoke up, "I've heard that in the Middle East where there is chaos and war, mercenaries are very popular. You can hire dozens of well-equipped and trained mercenaries to protect you throughout, ensuring your safety even more thoroughly."

Haixiu said awkwardly, "The cost of hiring mercenaries is too high. We consulted with Blackwater Company in the US on Syria's frontline, and they require a daily salary per mercenary, which amounts to $2,000 per person. Moreover, we have to calculate separately for any weapons or equipment needed, let alone ammunition fees if we need them to provide vehicles. Our original budget is already very tight, so we can't even hire mercenaries." JrNovels.com
