Chapter 173: Looking for the twelve zodiac animal heads
"Boss, please tell me, if you have anything to do, just ask." Brother Wu said directly.
“Have you ever heard of the twelve zodiac animal heads?” Su Cheng asked.
"Twelve zodiac animal heads? Never heard of it!" Brother Wu thought about it carefully, but found that he had never heard of this thing.
In fact, in this era, not many people know about the twelve zodiac animal heads.
After many high-priced auctions and "The Destruction of the Old Summer Palace" in primary school Chinese textbooks, it became known to the general public.
“The bronze statue of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. It was a red bronze statue during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1860, the British and French allied forces invaded China and burned the Old Summer Palace. The bronze statue of the animal heads It began to be lost overseas.
The head of the zodiac bronze statue is in a realistic style, and the casting is fine. The wrinkles and down on the animal head are all clear and lifelike. The materials used to cast the animal head were refined by the Qing court at that time. It is made of red copper, with a deep color on the outside and a polished interior, which has lasted for hundreds of years without rusting.”
Su Cheng briefly introduced the origin of the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads, and at the same time, he took it out of his bag. Eleven drawings provide detailed introduction to the bronze statues of animal heads of the eleven zodiac signs, including ox head, monkey head, tiger head, pig head, rat head, rabbit head, horse head, etc.
Brother Wu looked through them one by one and was surprised to find that there were only eleven zodiac animal heads in them.
"Boss, isn't there a bronze statue of the twelve zodiac signs? There is also a bronze statue of a dog's head?" Brother Wu asked curiously.
“I have bought the bronze dog head statue at an auction. I believe you have guessed what I asked you to do this time. I hope you can help find this statue all over the world. 11 bronze statues of the zodiac, and bring them back to me, I will use them," Su Cheng said directly.
In the data, Xiao Ai described in detail the general situation of the current location of the zodiac bronze statues through later data analysis, such as the sources of auctions, etc., so he also helped to find these bronze statues and lowered the price the difficulty.
This can be regarded as a test of the ability of the intelligence department established by Brother Wu!
Although, the coverage of Tianhe intelligence department currently only covers the entire Xiangjiang and a small part of overseas areas.
But they also have intelligence allies around the world who share information with each other.
In order for a small-scale intelligence organization like theirs to expand intelligence to the world as quickly as possible, they must find peers in major countries in the world and then cooperate.
"Okay, I will use the intelligence to look for it. I can't guarantee how much I can find. The information shows that the whereabouts of snake heads, chicken heads, and sheep heads are currently unknown." Brother Wu said directly.
He can't guarantee that all the zodiac animals can be found by the boss. After all, the world is too big.
If it is buried in a corner and no one knows about it, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to dig it out from a corner.
"Don't worry, just pay attention to this matter. You don't need to spend too much manpower and material resources to search. You can find as many as you can." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Intelligence is very expensive. He would not spend huge sums of money to find the twelve zodiac animal heads because there is no need.
Just do your best.
“By the way, boss, I received news that in Persia, strikes and demonstrations have occurred frequently across the country since August, almost paralyzing the entire country. As one of the world’s major oil-producing countries, if a strike It will affect oil production and may lead to tight supply of crude oil in the world," Wu Ge suddenly said.
"Well, I understand. Please continue to pay attention to the situation over there. If there is an emergency, please call me directly to report." Su Cheng nodded and said without much surprise.
Relying on Xiao Ai, Su Cheng has naturally known these things for a long time.
The strike demonstration was nothing, but a large-scale uprising broke out afterwards. Fierce wars broke out between the rebel army and the Shah government throughout Persia, which caused Persia to stop exporting oil to the outside world. At that time, it was time for Sioux City to ship.
This time is not far away.
At that time, almost all crude oil from Sioux City returned to Xiangjiang.
According to news from the Tuen Mun Oil Base, oil tankers are now transported to the Tuen Mun Oil Base Terminal almost every day. As for the two small-scale oil storage places in Singapore and Lamma Island, they are already full.
About mid-October, all crude oil will be pulled back to the storage warehouse at the Tuen Mun Oil Base in Xiangjiang.
Because the distance between the Middle East and Xiangjiang is closer than that of the United Kingdom and South America, all crude oil from the Middle East can be brought back within this month.
Therefore, the domestic war in Persia will not affect the crude oil purchased by Sioux City in the Middle East.
"I just came from Tianyuan Company, and I heard the security guard at the door say that boss, you are here." At this time, Wang Hai walked in from the outside with a smile and greeted Su Cheng.
"Well, I have something to ask Brother Wu. How are you doing? How is the company lately?" Su Cheng sat on the sofa, crossing his legs and saying with a smile.
"Naturally it is getting better day by day. Last month, if we did not count the investment from the intelligence department, our profit even reached 1.35 million, which can be said to have created a record high, even if the intelligence department is not included. With the continuous investment here, we still have a profit of 120,000 yuan." Speaking of this, Wang Hai is still satisfied with the Tianhe Bodyguard Company under his management.
Tianhe Bodyguard Company currently has more than 500 private bodyguards and more than 2,200 ordinary security personnel, which is quite large.
As long as these personnel are dispatched, they will be able to continuously create profits for the company.
Moreover, as the intelligence department becomes more and more complete, more and more people will buy intelligence information from them on the road, which can also create higher value for Tianhe Company.
"Well, not bad, you did a very good job." Su Cheng said with satisfaction.
He doesn't care whether Tianhe International Bodyguard Company can make money. After all, the purpose of establishing this company is not to make profits, but to protect the safety of his industry.
Now, since they can be self-sufficient and do not need Su City to continue to provide them with blood transfusions, it is naturally enough to prove that they are doing a very good job.
Of course, if the intelligence department needs large-scale investment, he will still have to invest money.
After all, as the Su Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Tianyuan Investment Company gradually expand in scale and gradually penetrate into the world, the current intelligence capabilities are not enough.
"There are a hundred people on the north playground, all aged between ten and twelve years old. They are all selected and trained from stowaways. We strictly control both physical fitness and character. I plan to focus on cultivating similar people in the future. Training new recruits from a young age will help increase their loyalty, and the cost is not high. Just feed them before they go out to work," Brother Wu said, pointing to a group of people in the north.
Through the glass window in the office, Su Cheng discovered at this time that there was a group of younger people training near the sea in the north.
Cultivating one from an early age is indeed conducive to improving loyalty.
Among the stowaways, many of them don’t even have enough to eat.
This place can provide them with food and accommodation, so it is naturally easy to recruit such personnel.
