Chapter 415: Chapter 308: Phoenix Bodyguard Company
An Tianxia Security Company is located in the Pudong New District of the magic metropolis. This is the Fan family’s headquarters, and the entire group has five branches, each branch having about one hundred professional bodyguards.
Located at the headquarters, An Tianxia Building, standing thirty-seven stories high, doesn’t stand out among the high rises of the Pudong New District. However, at this time, nearly five to six hundred professional bodyguards occupy this building. These individuals are all from the company’s own ranks and have undergone strict training before starting their jobs.
The sun is shining brightly today, and An Tianxia appears somewhat extraordinary compared to the usual days. Including its five branches, a total of five hundred and seventy professional bodyguards have all assembled at the headquarters building.
Fan Gao, the general manager of An Tianxia, is the younger brother of the Family Head Fan Zhijian. He is also the highest responsible person of the entire bodyguard company. This man, standing at one point nine meters tall, and towering like an iron tower, had once had a brief encounter with Chu Mo.
Long before Chu Mo’s first meeting with Elder Lu, he got into a conflict with a bunch of rich second-generation youths from the city, including Lu Siyue and several other rich local heirs. That was the only time in Chu Mo’s life when he personally took action to fight. The helpers sought by the opposing group of rich heirs came from the Fan family’s bodyguard company.
The one leading them at that time was none other than Fan Gao, Fan Zhijian’s younger brother.
Jiang Tao, the head of a detective agency, once evaluated this man, stating that if Jiang Tao was to duel with him to the death, his chances of winning were only fifty percent!
This was someone who could go head-to-head with Jiang Tao, so Chu Mo had a very deep impression of him!
“Mr. Chu, Manager Fan has already instructed me to fully cooperate with you during the handover work. An Tianxia Security Company has a total of five hundred and seventy professional bodyguards, fifty-nine logistical support personnel. Everyone is here now. From now on, An Tianxia is all yours!”
In front of An Tianxia Building’s main lobby entrance, hundreds of professional bodyguards were neatly arranged into six squares, all displaying strict discipline and vigorous spirit.
With a loud voice, slightly rough in tone, Fan Gao shook hands with Chu Mo. As Fan Zhijian’s brother, he naturally could not follow the bodyguard company to be sold to Chu Mo. After completing the transfer of power, he would return to the Fan family to take over other family businesses.
Chu Mo, standing at one point eight two meters, had to look up slightly to meet the gaze of Fan Gao, the one point nine meter tall iron tower. Facing such a powerful force, who could stand against Jiang Tao, Chu Mo honestly felt a surge of admiration.
Chu Mo had only seen three people of Jiang Tao’s caliber of top-level combat strength.
One was Jiang Tao himself, another was Fan Gao standing before him, and the last one was Li Hongda’s driver that he had seen while he was at the entrance of Prince Gong’s Mansion in the Capital City with Li Hongda of Jiangnan’s prominent Li family.
All three had a common aura about them, like tigers descending the mountain. An ordinary person would feel their legs go numb just from being glared at by them.
“Manager Fan has been with An Tianxia for many decades and must have deep feelings for it. To let Manager Fan and An Tianxia part ways, I too find it hard to let go.
As such, if Manager Fan is interested in staying, everything in An Tianxia will remain the same. You will still manage here, and I guarantee that everyone’s compensation will be doubled. And Manager Fan, you will only need to take orders from me!”
The tall middle-aged man with sturdy muscles slightly bowed his head, his voice steady as he spoke:
“Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your kind offer, but the family has other arrangements, and I must respectfully decline!”
Chu Mo wasn’t surprised by this outcome; he simply shook his head in slight regret. Having such a strong force on call would undoubtedly raise his level of security.
Of course, the man before him was a direct relative of the Fan family, Fan Zhijian’s younger brother; he couldn’t possibly abandon the interests of his family to follow Chu Mo.
After a soft sigh, Chu Mo did not insist any further and turned to Zhang Ailun, the acting head of the detective agency by his side, and instructed:
“Ailun, I leave this place to you now!”@@novelbin@@
Zhang Ailun, originally the deputy head of the detective agency and known for his simplistic and loyal demeanor, might have had insufficient ambition, but he was more than capable in maintaining the status quo. Following behind him were dozens of the detective agency’s elite backbone. Though he might appear meek in front of Chu Mo, when facing the five to six hundred professional bodyguards, he exuded an iron-blooded aura!
“Attention~”
When Zhang Ailun’s loud voice boomed in Chu Mo’s ears, it left them slightly ringing; however, the voice was very effective for the bodyguards below. At his command, the five to six hundred professional bodyguards below stood at attention with a thunderous response.
Chu Mo only glanced at the neatly coordinated movements of the dense crowd before him. He nodded slightly, his confidence in An Tianxia’s professional bodyguards increasing by a fraction.
Being the largest bodyguard company in the entire metropolis, handling nearly one-third of the city’s bodyguard business, An Tianxia’s professional capability was beyond doubt.
Chu Mo wasn’t interested in hearing Ailun, with his booming voice, address the hundreds of bodyguards before him. He merely promised to double the compensation of all the bodyguards in the future, playing the good guy. As for the bad guy role, that was for Zhang Ailun to play!
Walking into the thirty-seven-story An Tianxia Building alongside Fan Gao, Chu Mo observed as Fan Gao seemed familiar with every blade of grass there. He detailed for Chu Mo everything about each floor of the building, and even every room.
“The first floor of the An Tianxia Building is the office area, and the second to the sixth floors are the dormitories for the employees,” Fan Gao detailed methodically. “The seventh to tenth floors are the activity areas, which are equipped with various fitness equipment. The team members come here to exercise during their rest times. I have drawn up detailed training plans for each person to ensure they don’t neglect their professional skills.”
“Moreover, the eleventh to fifteenth floors are designated as the recreation area. There is a huge swimming pool on the thirteenth floor. Our company, An Tianxia Security Company, is different from ordinary security companies. We pay more attention to the employees’ mental well-being, hence our employees feel a strong sense of belonging to the company and to the entire Fan family…”
Standing in the general manager’s office on the thirty-seventh floor, Chu Mo listened to Fan Gao’s thorough introduction while gazing into the distance from the office’s vast floor-to-ceiling windows.
There were many high-rise buildings surrounding the An Tianxia Building, and even from the top of the thirty-seventh floor, the view was somewhat obstructed. Nevertheless, he could still clearly see the iconic trio of skyscrapers in the Lujiazui area of the Magic Capital from this spot.
Taking a breath, he reflected on the events of the previous night when he had reached an agreement with Fan Zhijian to acquire An Tianxia Security Company. He had hurried over here today eager to integrate the company’s forces in the shortest possible time.
An Tianxia had five hundred and seventy professional bodyguards, three to four times the size of his own detective agency. Only by quickly taking control of all the forces here could Chu Mo feel completely at ease with the upcoming plans!
“Mr. Chu, that’s the situation with An Tianxia,” Fan Gao continued. “If you have any questions, feel free to come to me at any time. Additionally, I need to inform you of another matter. Due to business needs, An Tianxia is currently in talks with Phoenix Security Company for a takeover. Phoenix is an all-female bodyguard company.
As you know, many renowned and high-status women require bodyguard services, and since we at An Tianxia only have male bodyguards, there tend to be some issues on finer details.
Thus, we decided to recruit some female bodyguards, which led to the talks with Phoenix Security Company. My deputy, Fan Long, is handling this. He will be joining your ranks at An Tianxia, and you can leave the matter to him.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, who had previously seemed indifferent, suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly.
Female bodyguards had always been a rare resource compared to their male counterparts; even Jiang Tao’s detective agency consisted entirely of one hundred and fifty male staff members.
For Chu Mo’s several spokespeople, such as Zhan Bingxue, Qin Zixuan, Yang Xuan, and others, the presence of female bodyguards was necessary to ensure their safety; they could handle any inconveniences that might arise.
Like his detective agency, An Tianxia’s five hundred and seventy bodyguards were all male. Before Fan Gao mentioned it, Chu Mo hadn’t considered this aspect, but now that he did, he realized he indeed needed professional female bodyguards to ensure the safety of the women.
Since he placed great importance on this matter, Chu Mo responded with uncommon earnestness, “Manager Fan, please tell me more about this Phoenix Security Company!”
The towering Fan Gao immediately nodded. His voice was gruff as he explained, “Phoenix Security Company was founded by a group of retired female soldiers. They have eighty-one female bodyguards in total, each either retired from the military or skilled in martial arts and combat sports. Ordinary people wouldn’t stand a chance against three or five of them. Though they’re women, their individual combat abilities are not inferior to those of professional male bodyguards like ours.
Phoenix Security’s headquarters is located on the forty-eighth floor of the Pudong Anqing Building. The company is valued at six hundred million yuan. In Magic Capital’s security industry, because they only provide services for women, they have certain specialties and limitations, so they’ve never been particularly hot or cold.”
Chu Mo nodded slightly, mentally noting the information about Phoenix Security Company, and then said no more.
Glancing at his wristwatch, he noted it was two twenty in the afternoon.
Through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see clearly the several hundred bodyguards downstairs engaging in group combat exercises, and Zhang Ailun seemed to be assessing their combat capabilities.
He didn’t mind that conducting an assessment on the very first day might be a bit too much. Since he had handed over the detective agency to Zhang Ailun to manage, how to proceed was Zhang’s business. Chu Mo wanted a result, specifically, taking control of An Tianxia’s entire force in the shortest amount of time.
Chu Mo had no further role to play in the upcoming events and felt it was a waste of time to stay. With an intention to leave, he extended his final invitation to Fan Gao, “Manager Fan, I have other matters to attend to and won’t stay much longer. You can coordinate the rest with Zhang Ailun. However, I want to say this: should you wish to come over, my door is always open for you, Manager Fan!”
After shaking hands and parting ways with Fan Gao, Chu Mo arrived at the main entrance of the building, where Fang Lihu was already greeting him with a dozen bodyguards.
A Rolls-Royce, a Bentley, and four Hongqi cars approached. Casting a final glance at the several hundred bodyguards in front of the building, as well as the dozens of luxury cars worth tens of millions parked in the rear garage, Chu Mo thought to himself that from today onwards, all of these would belong to him.
Settling into the back seat of the Phantom, his close personal secretary Xia Xue naturally fastened his seat belt for him. As the vehicle smoothly advanced, Chu Mo spoke up, “Xia Xue, look into this Phoenix Security Company for me. Contact their person in charge as soon as possible. You coordinate with Fan Long; I’m leaving the acquisition of Phoenix Security in your hands.”
The exceptionally beautiful secretary Xia Xue immediately nodded with respect, her voice warm yet solemn, “Yes, Mr. Chu. Rest assured, I will handle this matter properly.”
