Chapter 359: Chapter 359 Cooperation_1

Shen Dong laughed and said, "You’ve made a wise choice. Otherwise, if you made me angry, I would not only go after your people in Dragon Country or those coming to Dragon Country, but I might also target your personnel deployed in other countries and regions."

Victor said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Shen, it seems I shouldn’t have made this call. If I hadn’t told you all this and just acted on my own, there might have been no issue at all."

Shen Dong sneered, "You should feel lucky you made this call. Now that you’ve lost your people in Dragon Country, I guessed that you would try to recruit and train new personnel. I will be watching your every move, and if you proceed with that, you will lose money and personnel, and achieve nothing else."

Victor said bitterly, "Mr. Shen, you are one of the most terrifying people I’ve ever met in my life."

Shen Dong smiled faintly, "Actually, I’m not terrible. Just don’t oppose me, and I won’t bother with your affairs."

Victor said with a bitter smile, "Isn’t it interfering in my affairs when you don’t allow me to recruit and train people in Dragon Country?"

Shen Dong said seriously, "That is not interfering. Dragon Country is where I live, and I can’t let you cause chaos here!"

"All right," Victor said helplessly, then quickly changed the subject, "Since we cannot cooperate on this matter, and since I have also promised you to give up on the assassin business in the Dragon Country market, perhaps we can collaborate in other areas of business."

Victor still didn’t want to give up on the prospect of collaborating with Shen Dong.

Shen Dong was definitely someone you would want as a friend, not as an enemy.

Maintaining a good relationship with Shen Dong was definitely beneficial and harmless.

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren’t you an assassin organization? What other businesses do you have?"

Victor explained, "Mr. Shen, if you think that way, it shows you don’t know much about Paqi Sanctuary. Paqi Sanctuary was originally an organization that protected its own commercial interests, which only later evolved into an assassin organization."

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong suddenly remembered. Shang Yinghao had mentioned that Paqi Sanctuary was initially an organization that protected its own commercial interests before gradually developing into an assassin organization.

And according to the information he had checked, this was indeed the case.

Now that Victor had confirmed it himself, Shen Dong was even more certain.

Victor continued, "Mr. Shen, in many countries, we have legitimate businesses. Otherwise, how could I have said earlier that giving you a ten percent stake in Paqi Sanctuary would yield at least five billion US dollars in dividends each year? The assassin business alone could not possibly generate such profits. In fact, if we talk about making money, the assassin business is just a small part of Paqi Sanctuary. We earn much more from other businesses. The assassin business was established merely to ensure the safe and continuous development of other operations."

Shen Dong suddenly understood. That’s it.

No wonder Victor just said that a ten percent share would yield five billion US dollars a year in dividends.

Shen Dong had been somewhat puzzled before.

This was equivalent to Paqi Sanctuary earning at least fifty billion US dollars in profit each year.

At the time, Shen Dong wondered how many people would need to be killed to achieve that.

Now, he finally understood the situation. There were many other profitable businesses.

Shen Dong thought for a moment and then said, "Mr. Victor, my business is all in Dragon Country. For now, I can’t think of any collaboration that might be possible between us."

Since Paqi Sanctuary’s other businesses were legitimate, then collaboration was not out of the question.

As long as he stayed away from any illegal or criminal activities.

However, he wasn’t well informed about the other businesses of Paqi Sanctuary. His operations were only in Dragon Country and hadn’t expanded to other countries, so at the moment, he didn’t see any potential for collaboration.

Victor laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, I’ve looked into your industries. There are many opportunities for us to collaborate. For instance, Yikang Pharmaceutical, in which you’ve invested, has already developed a medicine for treating cancer. Fonghui Pharmaceuticals, now the third-ranked global pharmaceutical company, belongs to us at Paqi Sanctuary, and we are major shareholders. You’re also a shareholder in a film company and are currently investing in movie production. We are also major shareholders in Disney Film Industry of Lighthouse Country. These are all areas where we can cooperate."

This further surprised Shen Dong.

Fonghui Pharmaceuticals, a name that resonates with prestige, even in Dragon Country, where many pharmaceuticals are imported from Fonghui.

Fonghui Pharmaceuticals is one of the most profitable pharmaceutical companies in the world.

As for Disney Film Industry, it’s even more famous.

Many of the Lighthouse Country films introduced in Dragon Country are made by Disney Film Industry.

Shen Dong had truly not expected that Paqi Sanctuary was so powerful, to the extent that it was a major shareholder in these companies.

If that was the case, collaboration was indeed possible.

A partnership between Yikang Pharmaceutical and Fonghui Pharmaceuticals would open up the international market. Any issues encountered on the international market could be dealt with by Fonghui Pharmaceuticals, alleviating Yikang Pharmaceutical from such worries.

If Qianda Film and Television were to team up with Disney Film Industry, it could push Qianda’s films more effectively into the international market.

Thinking of this, Shen Dong said, "We can indeed collaborate. How about this, send me a list of some of the businesses and companies under Paqi Sanctuary’s control, and I’ll see what else we can work on. When you come to Dragon Country, we can discuss in detail. In the future, if I want to enter other industries or move into the international market, I can also proactively seek your partnership. How does that sound?"

Victor replied happily, "No problem."

Shen Dong thought of something and asked, "You won’t have any issues coming to Dragon Country, right?"

Victor chuckled, "No problem. My identity is that of a legitimate businessman, not some lawbreaker or criminal. The Lighthouse Country government has even given me a title, Vice-Chairman of the National Business Federation. I’ve been to your Dragon Country a few times."

Shen Dong said, surprised, "You’re actually the Vice-Chairman of the Lighthouse Country Business Federation. Don’t the big shots in your Lighthouse Country government know that you’re also involved in the assassin business?"

"Of course, they do," Victor said with a smile, "but so what? Our Lighthouse Country is not like your Dragon Country. As long as you have money, everything’s fine. Paqi Sanctuary brings profits to the Lighthouse Country, so killing a few people is no big deal—after all, we don’t touch those official bigwigs."

Shen Dong sighed, "Your Lighthouse Country really is a land of freedom. No wonder the wealthy from our Dragon Country all want to run over there. If I get the chance, I’ll have to visit."

"Welcome," said Victor. "I’ll host you when you come, so you can fully experience the culture and customs of our Lighthouse Country. This is the world of capital. We control the capital; we control everything. I can guarantee that all your aspirations can be fulfilled in Lighthouse Country!"

Shen Dong replied, "Thank you for that."

Suddenly, Shen Dong felt that this Victor was quite decent.

Initially, he thought that once the matter with Qian Haoming was sorted, there wouldn’t be any further interactions with Victor.

Yet unexpectedly, they were now discussing a partnership.

Shen Dong didn’t want to concern himself with too much. After all, there were plenty of people like Victor in this world.

Even if Victor didn’t do these things, someone else would.

Shen Dong only wanted to ensure that the other party wouldn’t cause trouble in Dragon Country.

As for what Victor did in other countries, it was not for Shen Dong to worry about.

Moreover, he would only engage with Victor in legal businesses.

As for illegal enterprises, he would steer clear.

Shen Dong, who could earn money legally, certainly had no desire to dabble in illicit dealings.

Of course, Shen Dong wouldn’t consider emigrating; he felt his homeland was just fine. There was no need to leave behind his roots and distance himself from his native land.

After a few more exchanges, they ended the call.
