Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2472 - 1830: Brown’s Terms (2)

"What else do you require from me concerning Mr. Cilio? Surely it is not solely for the resources of my conglomerate."

Bai Xiaosheng inquired, "Regarding my global resources spanning Asia, Europe, and America, you might not feel entirely secure, perceiving them as too remote. It proves more convenient to keep watch over Cilio in this vicinity. Therefore, should I infer that your conditions pertain to my business ventures in Bichi City? After all, it is not a matter of extreme secrecy."

Following Bai Xiaosheng's astute deduction, Mr. Brown could not help but regard him with a keen gaze, exclaiming, "Indeed, rumors of Mr. Bai Xiaosheng's extraordinary wisdom, exceeding the norm, are proven true!"

Bai Xiaosheng waved dismissively and chuckled, "You are too kind. In the matter of Mr. Cilio, I am willing to lend my assistance. I can even designate him as one of the primary directors for my commercial operations in Bichi City. However, given his present deficiency in personnel management skills, I believe he should be confined to responsibilities involving direction and strategic planning."

Without a doubt, Bai Xiaosheng's intention was to position Cilio as a 'promising talent,' a significant concession to Mr. Brown. Yet, by withholding personnel authority, the ultimate control remained with Bai Xiaosheng, and final decisions on direction and strategy would still rest with him.

With Cilio's integration, Mr. Brown would naturally extend his full backing to the business initiatives in Bichi City.

What a meticulously crafted arrangement! Mr. Brown mused inwardly.

Among the younger generation, Bai Xiaosheng stood as one of the three exceptionally sagacious individuals he had encountered.

Bai Xiaosheng, Wen Yan, and the group's deputy executive chairman, whom he had not seen in quite some time!

If the chance ever arose, he would eagerly witness the trio engage in a contest of minds.

Naturally, these reflections in Mr. Brown's mind held a touch of jest.

"Mr. Brown, if you have any further requests, please do not hesitate to voice them. Should my current proposal not meet your satisfaction, we can continue our deliberations at a leisurely pace," Bai Xiaosheng conveyed with a gentle smile.

"There is no need; one ought to appreciate what one has. I am already deeply appreciative of Mr. Bai's arrangements," Mr. Brown responded with a laugh. "I am confident that when Mr. Xiaosheng witnesses Cilio's capabilities and development in the future, he will certainly find valuable uses for him."

At this, Bai Xiaosheng promptly nodded, stating, "I pledge my word that I shall absolutely make the most of Mr. Cilio's abilities!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Brown's features relaxed into a smile.

A silver lining.

Cilio's current predicament stemmed from past actions and consequences, yet for him, it might prove to be a beneficial turn of events.

Mr. Brown observed with clarity that Cilio had undergone a complete metamorphosis since departing from the court, appearing reborn from adversity. To his astonishment, Cilio had even offered apologies and expressed gratitude, as if finally grasping the intricacies of the professional world.

It's not too late!

More so than the lost position, Mr. Brown found solace in Cilio's growth and maturation following this significant upheaval.

In the ensuing period, Mr. Brown resolved to meticulously mentor Cilio.

He would then present him to Bai Xiaosheng for practical, real-world training.

Mr. Brown harbored the conviction that within a decade or two, his son would undoubtedly achieve remarkable feats in the business arena, surpassing his own accomplishments.

In truth, Mr. Brown's foresight proved accurate. Ten years hence, Cilio would indeed rank among the select few who stood at the zenith of Africa's business landscape.

Of course, these are matters of the future, and we shall not linger on them presently.

Subsequently, Bai Xiaosheng engaged in numerous further discussions with Mr. Brown, delving into his strategic commercial plans for Bichi City.

Mr. Brown was equally captivated by the sheer audacity and expansive vision of Bai Xiaosheng's ambitions, solidifying his commitment to support Bai Xiaosheng with even greater conviction—

This young man, should his trajectory of growth continue, possesses boundless potential. By aligning himself with Bai Xiaosheng, Cilio is assuredly destined for more significant opportunities and encounters in his lifetime.

Furthermore, for Cilio to re-enter the business world and achieve future success, he would undoubtedly depend on the foundation laid by Bai Xiaosheng's commercial endeavors in Bichi City.

Consequently, Mr. Brown actively contributed, highlighting concepts that, while brilliant, lacked concrete support, and indicating areas where he could provide assistance to expedite project launches.

With Mr. Brown, a prominent local magnate, fully invested, Bai Xiaosheng was naturally delighted.

The two conversed until they arrived at the business delegation's quarters, leaving a lingering sense of unfinished discussion.

Mr. Brown specifically provided Bai Xiaosheng with his contact details, proposing continued exchanges and communication moving forward. The group's enterprises in the African region would also enthusiastically participate, fostering synergistic gains—a truly auspicious win-win scenario.

As they exited the vehicle and bid their goodbyes, Cilio approached, appearing to have something to relay to Bai Xiaosheng.

Mr. Brown intentionally stepped away, creating space.

Initially feeling a sense of awkwardness, Cilio eventually blushed and conveyed his gratitude to Bai Xiaosheng.

Considering his disposition, expressing thanks in person must have demanded considerable fortitude, suggesting a significant shift in his perspective following this encounter.

Bai Xiaosheng didn't elaborate, offering only a smile and extending his hand to Cilio for a handshake.

From a distance, Mr. Brown, with subtly pricked ears, observed the exchange, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Following this, Bai Xiaosheng parted ways with Mr. Brown and his son, watching their car depart.

Subsequently, Bai Xiaosheng accompanied Hou Yuncheng back to their accommodation.

"The situation has finally been resolved to our satisfaction," Hou Yuncheng remarked with a smile. "I must also provide a swift report to my superiors. Per the upcoming schedule, we are set to depart again tomorrow. By the way, will your commercial ventures in Bichi City be impacted if we extend our stay here for a few more days?"

Bai Xiaosheng's business initiatives, boasting the participation of numerous prominent merchants including Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan, and now fortified by the influential inclusion of Mr. Brown, were rapidly escalating in scale and demonstrating immense potential.

This single collaborative effort, spanning enterprises across two continents and two nations, was sufficient to overshadow all prior joint ventures, naturally capturing Hou Yuncheng's profound interest.

Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile, "The arrangements are already proceeding smoothly, so my personal presence isn't essential. I will join the main group."

With Bai Xiaosheng's decision made, Hou Yuncheng offered no further objections and simply nodded.

Upon their return to the residence, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying hurried over, having heard the news.

They had previously planned to accompany him to the trial grounds, but Bai Xiaosheng had instructed them to remain and focus on the business matters within Bichi City.

Now that a resolution had been reached, both were understandably keen to learn the specifics.

Bai Xiaosheng provided them with a concise summary of the events.

In truth, prior to his departure, Bai Xiaosheng had already shared certain details with them.

Upon learning that Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Brown had collaborated to orchestrate the outcome, their astonishment was palpable.

Even though they were confident in Bai Xiaosheng's ability to prevail, upon hearing the detailed account he provided, they couldn't help but voice their continuous exclamations.

"That Tike was truly ruthless, aiming for a fatal strike!"

"It's a shame he didn't foresee your alliance with Mr. Brown; it ended up backfiring spectacularly!"

"Haha, Tike was so infuriated by you, Xiaosheng, that he actually passed out—he had it coming."

"From this point forward, the group will likely be without a figure like Tike..."

After concluding their discussion on this matter, Bai Xiaosheng was about to inquire about the progress of their tasks related to Bichi City when a hasty knocking sounded at the door.

Suspecting another unexpected development, Lin Weiwei quickly went to answer it.

It turned out to be Hou Yuncheng's chief secretary standing at the threshold.

The secretary exhibited clear signs of elation. Upon spotting Bai Xiaosheng, he beamed and announced, "Mr. Bai, we've just received the latest intelligence. The rare-earth company with whom you were previously in negotiations has proactively extended an offer for cooperation. Furthermore, several major corporations that had initially refused terms have now reached out. They are affiliated with Mr. Brown's network and expressed a desire to cooperate under the most favorable conditions, specifically as a gesture towards you. The leadership is delighted, the higher-ups are satisfied, and Director Hou specifically dispatched me to convey this excellent news to you!"

A wry smile touched Bai Xiaosheng's lips.

Mr. Brown had acted swiftly, effectively creating an opportunity to enhance his own standing and accomplishments.

At that precise moment, a distinct prompt sounded within Bai Xiaosheng's mind, accompanied by the voice of Red Lotus—

"Scoring, commence!"
