Chapter: 3666

Cui Yanzhong nodded seriously: "That's correct! Although this is a dog-eat-dog world, basic logic still follows legal principles. Cooperating with sovereign countries and standing firm on legal grounds is feasible."

Saying that, Cui Yanzhong added: "However, Ye Chen, I think you should further transform the Wan Long Palace more thoroughly."

Ye Chen asked hastily: "Cousin, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Oh my, you two are chatting so loudly in the courtyard that it's already prepared food and drink! Why don't we go inside to eat while chatting?" said Lin Wanqiu beside him.

"Yes, Dad!" Cui Qiuyi still tightly hugged Ye Chen's arm, saying with a cooing voice. "I'm starving already, waiting for Brother Ye Chen to come back and eat together."

"Right, right, right!" Cui Yanzhong laughed. "Let's go in and chat while eating!"

The four of them then moved to the villa dining room and sat down at the dinner table.

As soon as Ye Chen sat down, he asked Cui Yanzhong impatiently: "Uncle Cui, what are your thoughts and suggestions about Wan Long Palace?"

Cui Yanzhong said seriously: "I think if it's just a Wan Long Palace on its own, it would naturally be doing mercenary work because that way is the most profitable and has the greatest potential for growth."

As he spoke, Cui Yanzhong's tone changed suddenly. "But Ye Chen, you should know that your low-key and secretive approach is only temporary. If you want to promote the Ye family's reputation, sooner or later you will have to personally take charge from behind the scenes to go out front."

"When that day comes, all eyes in the world will focus on you, and there will certainly be many people eager to dig up your so-called dark history, especially your enemies. They will not miss any opportunity to frame and attack you in front of the whole world!"

"If Wan Long Palace is still just a mercenary organization at that time, and you become the true owner of Wan Long Palace, then you'll have to take responsibility for all of Wan Long Palace's debts. Once others know this connection, you will definitely be ostracized by mainstream society."

"And once you're ostracized by mainstream society, it won't just affect your own reputation, but also the Ye family's reputation."

"So, my advice is that you should quickly let Wan Long Palace achieve a thorough whitewashing and transformation, making sure Wan Long Palace is reasonable and lawful in the eyes of the whole world!"

"Otherwise, if you receive Wan Long Palace today, it's equivalent to planting a bomb for yourself!"

Cui Yanzhong's words suddenly caught Ye Chen's attention.

Wan Long Palace's identity and situation are indeed special. In the mainstream world, organizations like Wan Long Palace that engage in mercenary work are always viewed with a gray tone. If people want to choose a label between good or bad, every mercenary organization will undoubtedly be considered bad in the eyes of the crowd.

As for the matter of absorbing Wan Long Palace into oneself, it's still unknown to outsiders, but this secret cannot remain hidden forever. There will certainly be a day when others find out.

When that time comes, people's aversion to mercenary organizations will also be transferred onto him.

Therefore, Ye Chen hurriedly asked Cui Yanzhong, "Cui Uncle, do you have any good advice about Wan Long Palace?"

Cui Yanzhong smiled slightly and said seriously, "I have an idea, which may not be good or mature. If it's to be implemented, there will be certain sacrifices involved. Whether it can be done depends on your judgment. If you're willing to bear the cost, I'll roughly tell you my plan."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, saying humbly: "You have a lot more life experience and personal abilities than I do. I believe your methods will definitely be better than mine!"

Cui Yanzhong smiled and said: "Don't bother beating around the bush, let's roughly discuss my ideas."

As he spoke, Cui Yanzhong straightened his body and said seriously: "In my opinion, Wan Long Palace's greatest value lies in its fighting power. If this fighting power is used in the mercenary organization domain, it will naturally bring higher returns, but also faces the problems I mentioned earlier - societal backlash and a bad reputation among the people. Since that's the case, why not change Wan Long Palace's future operation strategy to let it rely on its own fighting power to make money? On one hand, you can say it to yourself, in the future, only cooperate with sovereign countries, stand on a just and lawful basis, and on the other hand, I think we can explore the international security domain. International security has developed rapidly over the years, and its reputation among the people is extremely positive!"

"What do you mean by international security?" Ye Chen asked hurriedly: "Cui Uncle, what kind of fields does international security refer to?" JrNovels.com
