Chapter 502 Layout
Chu Mo's voice wasn't loud, but as his words fell, the entire reception hall seemed to explode instantaneously, a touch of emotion flashing across the faces of the three people before him.
Among them, the one with the greatest reaction was the Capital City's great beauty Fang Nianhan, who, in the prime of youth with a peak of attractiveness, couldn't control her emotions, suddenly stood up. Her beautiful eyes stared directly at the calm Chu Mo opposite her, her voice trembling slightly as she said:
"Chu... Mr. Chu, is everything you said true?"
Chu Mo simply hooked his lips into a slight smile. He wasn't concerned with Fang Nianhan's reaction. Instead, he focused his gaze on the head of the Fang family opposite him, speaking evenly:
"I wonder what Mr. Fang thinks of this!"
The tall and composed Fang Fugui gently adjusted his tie. Despite the recent chaos, after all, he was a tycoon with twenty billion in assets and quickly regained his composure before speaking:
"If this were five or ten years ago, when the bodyguard industry in Capital City was still not established, entering the Capital City bodyguard industry might have been much simpler. However, now, like in Magic City, the bodyguard industry in Capital City is already saturated. The market share has been thoroughly scavenged, and breaking in won't be easy.
I'll give Mr. Chu a brief overview of the situation in Capital City. In the bodyguard industry, there are a total of four companies worth mentioning: Victorious Bodyguard Company in Chaoyang District, Flying Bodyguard Company in Tongzhou District, Tongyi Bodyguard Company in Shunyi District, and our Fangding Bodyguard Company.
Among these companies, Flying has the greatest power, with seven hundred ninety-five registered professional bodyguards, a market value of fifty-eight billion, and its leader is a half-step Grandmaster.
Next is Tongyi, with assets of thirty-two billion, our Fangding ranks third with twenty billion, and the last one, Victorious, with thirteen billion in assets. After these, there are some scattered smaller firms, but these are only barely surviving in the cracks and are not worth considering.
Of course, Nianhan's Guangsha Bodyguard Company is a bit special due to its recent establishment and the fact that it's supported by Great Grandmaster Jiang, so it's not listed in the same category. Mr. Chu, if you want to create the biggest bodyguard company in Capital City, you will inevitably infringe on the interests of these companies. It's manageable for Fangding, but the other three will likely resist vigorously, even joining forces to suppress you, especially the Flying Bodyguard Company. They definitely don't want anyone to threaten their position as the leader, and they'll probably use all sorts of methods when the time comes!
Moreover, Flying is supported by the Yang family...!"
With decades of life experience as a top tycoon, Fang Fugui wouldn't get carried away by a few words from Chu Mo. The situation in Capital City was already incredibly complex. The four bodyguard companies maintained a balance of power, especially with the Yang family backing the leading Flying Bodyguard Company. Shaking up their position wasn't as simple as just talking about it.
Now, Fang Nianhan, who had initially stood up, had also gradually calmed down. When Chu Mo first mentioned forming the biggest bodyguard company in Capital City, she had only considered that her Guangsha Bodyguard Company would be Chu Mo's best choice, and she would be in control of a top bodyguard firm with a value of tens of billions, naturally feeling extraordinarily excited.
However, now that she heard her father's analysis, the hopes in her heart gradually shattered by reality. As her father had said, the power landscape in Capital City had already been formed. To make an impact, one must disrupt the current scenario, fundamentally reshuffle the various powers in Capital City, which would also cause a massive chain reaction. Even if Mr. Chu of Magic City personally stepped in, it was doubtful that any good would come of it.
Fang Nianhan, who had slowly simmered down, sat back down in her seat. At that moment, she realized her faux pas. After sitting gently back down, she didn't dare to speak any further.
Chu Mo wanted to establish a foothold in Capital City, naturally seeking a force capable of protecting himself, much like in Magic City, where he owned the city's largest detective agency. The agency's staff numbered up to a thousand, with professional bodyguards accounting for four to five hundred of them.
Only with such a strong military might could he ensure his power remained undisturbed. In Capital City, which was not only Chu Mo's second major setup but also the headquarters of the Yang family, ranked third among the eight great families that had always been dissatisfied with him. He needed to fortify himself with formidable military strength.
Fang Fugui had laid out the situation, but Chu Mo had naturally considered everything thoroughly. He looked at the trio before him, leisurely picked up his tea, and sipped it momentarily before putting the cup down. The seemingly indifferent Chu Mo suddenly turned his gaze to Fang Nianhan beside him, his voice unhurried:
"Nianhan, what do you think of the current office space of Guangsha Bodyguard Company?"
Fang Nianhan, who had resolved to keep silent, was caught off guard by Chu Mo's direct question. She paused for a moment, instinctively glancing at her father beside her. She didn't dare to speak rashly this time, so after a rare moment of serious contemplation, Fang Nianhan cautiously said:
"Thanks to Mr. Chu's help, originally Guangsha Bodyguard Company only occupied a quarter of the 26th floor of Guang'an Building. If it hadn't been for Mr. Chu's intervention, we might have been driven out. But now, not only have we fully taken over the entire 2000 square meters of the 26th floor, Mr. Chu even allocated us the 27th floor."
