Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 192: Concealing the truth

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Material Transfer Center.

Chen Yang stood in front of the window with a cup of coffee in his hand, his eyes fixed on the unknown distance, but in his mind he was thinking about how to get in touch with Zhou Yuanyi.

A small asset management director can create millions of dollars in assets without anyone noticing.

This situation seems incredible to anyone.

You know, the director of the Asset Management Department has no rank in the Ministry of Finance.

He was a genuine seventh-rank clerk, but it was such a small official who could actually embezzle such a huge sum of money.

Well, after all, it was Minister Kong who took the lead.

What kind of leader you have, what kind of subordinates you will have.

"Knock knock knock." There was a crisp knock on the door.

Chen Yang put down the coffee and said, "Come in."

Secretary He Yuehua pushed open the office door and said, "Assistant Chen, Mr. Steve wants to see you."

"Steve?" Chen Yang was stunned. This Steve was no small character.

He is the vice-consul of the British Embassy in Shanghai.

When Chen Yang was looking for partners in the British pharmaceutical industry, this guy was also considered.

Not only him, but also several nobles such as the Jameson family and the Morton family were dragged into it.

This Steve graduated from Cambridge College in the British Empire. His family background is very prominent, but it is only prominent on the surface.

How much money can you make as a vice consul?

However, at this time, a vice consul of the embassy came to Meihua Building? Chen Yang was a little curious about his purpose.

"Please ask him to come up, Secretary He, and make a cup of coffee without sugar."

He Yuehua nodded slightly and walked out quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman walked slowly into the office.

Chen Yang smiled and joked: "Mr. Steve, why are you here instead of staying at the embassy at this time?"

"Aren't you afraid that Sir Karl will fire you from your position?"

"Mr. Chen is right." Steve's smile was a little bitter.

"Mr. Karl has reported to the mainland. I am no longer the vice consul."

"Ah," Chen Yang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Steve, you know, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, Mr. Chen, this is my own choice," Steve's smile was a little bitter but he didn't feel very depressed.

On the contrary, it has a bit of a spirited feel.

"Although the position of vice consul is high, it is just for show. The salary is not enough to do anything."

Chen Yang was a little surprised and asked, "Have you suffered a blow? I think you seem to have some mental problems."

"Mr. Chen, I forgot to tell you that I am now the head of Royal Dutch Shell in Asia." Steve said with a beaming smile.

"What?" Chen Yang finally understood why Steve had that expression.

Compared to the position of head of Royal Dutch Shell in Asia, it is better not to be the deputy consul of the embassy.

"Congratulations, congratulations," Chen Yang said with a smile, "We Chinese have a saying that goes 'A blessing in disguise.'"

"Mr. Steve is truly blessed by a noble person. He actually got such a great opportunity."

"So, what is it that brought you to me?"

Steve chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen is such a smart person, can't you guess why I'm looking for you?"

Chen Yang thought for a while and tried to say, "Oil?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is really smart." Steve nodded and said, "Yes, it's oil."

"Royal Shell has discovered an oil field in the Burmese Exploration Center. Although the reserves are not large, they are only 200 meters from the surface."

"I heard from Wilson that you bought the oil field in Burma that his firm owned."

"The return on that oil field is not that great. Compared to the one I have, it's nothing."

"So, I believe Mr. Chen must be very interested in this."

"Mr. Steve, I think your proposal seems unrealistic." Chen Yang was silent for a while and said, "As far as I know, Shell will not give resources like oil fields to outsiders."

"Besides, Myanmar is still a colony of the British Empire. It seems difficult for us to bypass the British Empire's jurisdiction and obtain the right to develop the oil fields."

"Bit Trading Company's oil field was sold only after they evaluated it and found that the returns did not meet the target."

"And the oil field in your hands is only 200 meters from the surface. How could such a natural gold mine fall into our hands?"

Steve smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, is there a possibility that the report sent back to Shell did not specify the specific benefits of this oil field?"

"That is to say, the headquarters may think that this oil field is similar to the one you have and has no development value at all."

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he said with emotion: "You mean to hide the truth from the world."

Steve shook his head and said, "Chinese culture is really broad and profound, there are always some unexpected words."

"Yes, it is to conceal the truth."

Chen Yang looked Steve up and down and said, "Mr. Steve, to be honest, I still have some concerns. As a noble family, doing this kind of thing does not seem to be consistent with your status."

Steve's face changed slightly, and after a while, he sighed heavily and said: "Mr. Chen really understands our working style."

"If it was before, I would never do it, but after this incident, I feel that some things are far less important than money."

"As you know, after I leave office, I will return to my home country to answer inquiries from the foreign affairs department."

"I have been studying for half my life and have always put loyalty to the British Empire first. Unfortunately, there are always some people who, under the guise of patriotism, secretly do things that betray the interests of the country."

“Not only can they hold high positions, they can even trade for national interests.”

"Since others can do these things, I can also use the little power I have to exchange for some of the benefits I deserve."

"Very smart idea." Chen Yang applauded and said, "It seems that Mr. Steve already has the qualities to be a successful businessman."

"But I still have some concerns. Even if you are the head of Shell Asia, you don't have the final say on the report submitted to the headquarters."

"Are you sure you can convince your men not to cause trouble?"

"You know, the income from an oil field can turn a dog into a wolf in a matter of minutes."

Steve said confidently: "Mr. Chen, do you think I would conspire with those men?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible? They are all people who have seen the world. Common interests can't move them at all."

"But we can change our thinking."

"Do you think it would be easier for the surveying staff to handle it?"
