The Empress Is Gigolo 608 The Value Of The Martial Arts Center

Once they got ahold of power, they would surely want to seek progression and obtain even more strength.

Getting ahold of such power would enable them to possess substantial strength in one leap. Even though they wouldn't be experts of weapons, these highly-skilled martial artists were already weapons themselves. Such power would be sufficient to raise anyone's eyebrows.

As for the amount of time to get there, Ren Baqian believed that it wouldn't take long.

After all, paper couldn't contain fire; this would be discovered by others sooner or later. On one hand, the nation would allow more people to train sooner or later. This was something that was impossible to hide forever because that would defeat its purpose of existence. It would most likely begin with a small group of troops, extending to training of the special forces for instance. Once the number of people grew larger, news would very easily leak out.

On the other hand, it was impossible for the experts nurtured by the nation to stay in the military bases and live incognito forever. After obtaining strength, people would be unwilling to be indifferent. Think about it—would you be willing to conceal your ident.i.ty after attaining strength that surpa.s.sed ordinary people? What if your family ran into problems? What if your family was humiliated? Once these experts did something, they would very easily be detected.

Most importantly, after the martial arts center was set up and when experts nurtured in the center became stronger, it would force the nation to reveal this matter even earlier.

Therefore, regardless of what the trigger was, this matter wouldn't stay a secret for too long. Ren Baqian originally guessed that it would last ten to 15 years at most. However, with the addition of his own martial arts center, the timeline would be accelerated, and the reveal could happen in just seven to ten years.

Plus, what could he gain from the pharmaceutical factory in 15 years? Even if he could earn up to several billion or even ten billion in profits per year, he would only gain over 100 billion yuan in 15 years. Even though this might seem like a large sum, 100 billion yuan in 15 years' time would probably be equivalent to just ten billion yuan at present.

Even though he would still be a very wealthy person, it was definitely incomparable to the things that setting up a martial arts center could bring him.

The martial arts center wouldn't only bring him money, but also power as well as a large network that would extend over the entire world.

As such, Ren Baqian had a lot of expectations for this plan of setting up a martial arts center. He already foresaw that changes would occur in the future, which was why he had to obtain as much strength as he possibly could before that happened. This way, he could then leap to the pinnacle of this world before the changes began and watch as things happened.

His time on Earth was limited to only ten days per month, leaving him with no time and energy to get involved in technology or other businesses. Besides, even if he wanted to do such things, he didn't have the knowledge for it. After getting slightly more than a billion yuan in bonus from the pharmaceutical factory and adding the tens of millions that he originally had, he would only have a little more than two billion yuan in total. This might be an astronomical sum to ordinary people, but this amount wouldn't be enough to bring about any major changes to this world.

However, on the contrary, he had the expertise regarding everything the martial arts center needed. The number of experts and rare manuals that he possessed were his greatest resources. Also, he would be able to ride on the wave of the major changes that were about to happen. Only a fool would fail to take full advantage of these factors.

…

Ren Baqian looked through everything that Shen Feng had prepared for him before making some arrangements and allowing her to take her leave.

Ren Baqian then gave Ren Wannian a call.

"Hey brother, it's already been a few years, and you've finally remembered that you have a younger brother!" Ren Wannian sounded very surprised when he answered the call. He had been attending university for a couple of years, and this was the first time that he had received a call from his elder brother, who had been appearing and disappearing unpredictably over the last few years.

Not to mention himself, even Papa and Mama Ren had constantly been grumbling about how their chick had grown up. Back when Ren Baqian graduated from university and first started working, they would usually receive a call from him every two to three days. Unknowingly, this now extended to ten days or even two weeks before they would receive a call from him.

The brothers chatted a little about their family matters before Ren Baqian asked, "You have to find a place to do an interns.h.i.+p at the end of the year right? Do you have any plans yet?"

"It's rare for elder brother to be thinking about me—could it be that you have a good recommendation that you have arranged for me?" Ren Wannian laughed.

"Indeed, there are some matters that I won't feel a.s.sured about unless they are handled by my own family," Ren Baqian answered.

Besides, he was rarely on Earth, so he still needed someone to be in charge of the general situation. Even though Shen Feng did things very properly, she had recently been less capable than desired. After all, the things on her plate had been increasing and many issues had started to exceed her capabilities. Her background was another huge problem as well.

As for Ding Jie, even though that kid was hard-working enough and was willing to use his brain, he was a little timid due to his background. He had improved slightly after learning martial arts, yet it was still too early for him to take up such responsibilities.

Since Ren Baqian would require more manpower in the future, it would be better to rope Ren Wannian in as early as possible.

"Brother, that notion of yours is already outdated. I'm already a professional manager now. Even though owners can rest a.s.sured regarding their family businesses, there are many troublesome things that need to be handled given the growing pains that come with expansion. I'm already wanted!" Ren Wannian burst out laughing.

"Oh? What are you doing that can be better than the opportunity I have for you?" Ren Baqian laughed. He couldn't help but lament to himself—even though it didn't feel like a long time had pa.s.sed, his younger brother had already grown up.

"The same position as you!" Ren Wannian replied softly and secretively. Even though there were people who wanted him to keep it confidential, as a student who hadn't gone through professional training, he didn't have a strong concept of confidentiality. He had a hard time keeping it from his cla.s.smates, friends, and even his parents. Finally, he couldn't help but let the cat out of the bag when Ren Baqian asked about it now.

Despite the fact that Ren Baqian had very rarely returned or called home over the last few years, they had been together since they were young, so Ren Wannian still maintained a very close relations.h.i.+p with this elder brother of his.

Besides, Ren Wannian always felt that he wasn't on the same level as his brother. He shared this secret with his elder brother because Ren Baqian knew more things and more people than he did and could probably give him some ideas.

"My position?" Ren Baqian asked as he very quickly thought of a possibility. "A government organization?"

Even though he very rarely a.s.sumed this ident.i.ty, his family only came to know that he held this position because he made it up back when they went to Lu Province to help Ren Wannian settle his problems.

"Correct!" Ren Wannian said.

Ren Baqian knitted his eyebrows. As an ordinary third year university student, how did Ren Wannian get into a government organization? This was entering a government organization, not just any ordinary office job. Even if it was just an office job, he hadn't even taken his examinations.

The only remaining possibility was through Ren Baqian himself.

The nation definitely wouldn't allow Ren Baqian to fly on his own so easily and would surely try any means possible to tie him down to the nation.

Ren Wannian was one of their means.

"Was it the research inst.i.tute or the special affairs agency? Or was it the operations base?" Ren Baqian asked in a deep voice.

"Brother, you know about it?" Ren Wannian was a little surprised. There were many government organizations and many remote departments that people had never heard of. On the contrary, Ren Baqian guessed it, and this made Ren Wannian feel very surprised.

"Forget it! Don't go—they are using you as leverage!" Ren Baqian said.

"What do you mean? Brother, what do you know about this?" Ren Wannian raised his voice and asked.

"If you join me, you will know in the future. I will pay them a visit, and they won't look for you ever again," Ren Baqian answered faintly.

"Brother, you have that big of an influence?" Ren Wannian was stunned.

"A little greater than you imagined. You will know when you come and work with me in the future. You have to be extremely deferential to your bosses when you join certain departments, but if you join me, you can do as you wish and won't have to bother with things that you don't wish to."

Ren Baqian's words were very ordinary, but somehow, Ren Wannian felt that his elder brother really acted a bit differently.

From Ren Baqian's words, he felt that his elder brother's position definitely wasn't what he and his parents a.s.sumed it was. It wasn't as simple as being a manager of a drug factory or a pharmaceutical factory and was definitely not an internal position in the organization that Ren Baqian had previously revealed.
