#173 - Find the twelve zodiac animal heads

"Boss, please speak. Just tell me what you need," Brother Wu said directly.

"Have you heard of the twelve zodiac animal heads?" Su Cheng asked.

"The twelve zodiac animal heads? Never heard of them!" Brother Wu thought carefully, but found that he had never heard of such a thing.

In fact, in this era, there were not many people who knew about the twelve zodiac animal heads.

It was only after several high-priced auctions and the lesson 'The Destruction of the Old Summer Palace' in elementary school Chinese textbooks that the general public became familiar with them.

"The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads were originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyantang Hall of the Old Summer Palace. They were bronze statues cast during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1860, the Anglo-French allied forces invaded China and burned down the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statues of the animal heads began to be lost overseas.

The heads of the zodiac bronze statues are realistic in style and exquisitely cast. The wrinkles and fluff on the animal heads are clear and lifelike. The materials used to cast the animal heads were refined red copper by the Qing court at that time. The appearance is deep in color and contains a refined light, and it does not rust after a hundred years."

Su Cheng briefly introduced the origin of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads. At the same time, he took out eleven drawings from his bag, which detailed the bronze statues of eleven zodiac animal heads, including the ox head, monkey head, tiger head, pig head, rat head, rabbit head, and horse head.

Brother Wu looked through them roughly one by one and was surprised to find that there were only eleven zodiac animal heads.

"Boss, aren't there twelve zodiac bronze statues? What about the dog head bronze statue?" Brother Wu asked curiously.

"I have already bought the dog head bronze statue at an auction. I believe you have guessed what I want you to do this time. I hope you can help me find these 11 zodiac bronze statues all over the world and bring them back to me. I have a use for them," Su Cheng said directly.

In the information, Xiao Ai analyzed the approximate location of the zodiac bronze statues based on information from later generations, such as the source of the auctions, etc., which reduced the difficulty of finding these bronze statues.

This can also be regarded as a test of the ability of the intelligence department built by Brother Wu!

Although the coverage of Tianhe's intelligence department is currently only in Xiangjiang and a small part of overseas regions.

But they also have intelligence allies around the world who share information with each other.

In order to expand their intelligence to the whole world as soon as possible, these small-scale intelligence organizations must find counterparts in major countries around the world and then cooperate.

"Okay, I will use intelligence to find them. As for how many I can find, I can't guarantee. The information shows that the whereabouts of the snake head, chicken head, and sheep head are currently unknown," Brother Wu said directly.

He couldn't guarantee that all the zodiac animal heads could be found for the boss. After all, the world is too big.

If they were buried in a corner of the ground and no one knew about it, no matter how great their abilities were, they would not be able to dig them out of a corner.

"Don't worry, just pay attention to this matter. You don't need to spend too much manpower and resources to find them. Just find as many as you can," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Intelligence is very expensive. He wouldn't spend a lot of money to find the twelve zodiac animal heads, because there was no need.

Just do your best.

"By the way, boss, I received news that in Persia, since August, strikes and demonstrations have occurred frequently throughout the country, almost paralyzing the entire country. As one of the world's major oil producers, if the strikes affect oil production, it may lead to a tight supply of crude oil in the world," Brother Wu said suddenly.

"Well, I know. Continue to pay attention to the situation there. If there is an emergency, call me directly to report," Su Cheng nodded and said, without much surprise.

Relying on Xiao Ai, Su Cheng naturally knew these things clearly.

That time is not far away.

By then, Su Cheng's crude oil will be almost back in Xiangjiang.

According to news from the Tuen Mun oil base, oil tankers are now being transported to the Tuen Mun oil base wharf almost every day. As for Singapore and Lamma Island, the two small-scale oil storage locations, they are already full.

Around mid-October, all the crude oil will be pulled back to the storage warehouse of the Tuen Mun oil base in Xiangjiang.

And because the distance between the Middle East and Xiangjiang is closer than that of the United Kingdom and South America, the crude oil from the Middle East can be completely pulled back this month.

Therefore, the war in Persia will not affect Su Cheng's crude oil purchased in the Middle East.

"I just came from Tianyuan Company and heard the security guard at the door say that you were here, boss," Wang Hai said with a smile as he walked in from outside, greeting Su Cheng.

"Well, I have something to discuss with Brother Wu. How is the company doing recently?" Su Cheng said with a smile, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"Naturally, it's getting better every day. Last month, if we don't count the investment in the intelligence department, our profit even reached 1.35 million, which can be said to have created a new historical high. Even if we include the continued investment in the intelligence department, we still have a profit of 120,000," Wang Hai said, still satisfied with the Tianhe Security Company under his management.

Tianhe Security Company currently has more than 500 private bodyguards and more than 2,200 ordinary security personnel, which is a considerable scale.

The latest novels are available at Six 9 Books!

As long as these personnel are dispatched, they can continuously generate profits for the company.

Moreover, as the intelligence department becomes more and more完善, more and more people on the street will buy intelligence information from them, which can also create higher value for Tianhe Company.

"Well, not bad, you guys are doing very well," Su Cheng said with satisfaction.

He doesn't care whether Tianhe International Security Company can make money. After all, the purpose of establishing this company is not to make profits, but to protect the security of his industry.

Now that they can be self-sufficient and don't need Su Cheng to continue to inject funds into them, it is naturally enough to prove that they are doing very well.

Of course, if the intelligence department needs a large-scale investment, he will still invest money.

After all, as the scale of Su's Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Tianyuan Investment Company gradually expands and gradually penetrates the world, the current intelligence capabilities are not enough.

"There are 100 people on the north playground, all between the ages of ten and twelve. They were selected from smuggled immigrants for training. We strictly control their physical fitness and character. I plan to focus on training similar new people in the future, starting from a young age, which is conducive to improving their loyalty, and the cost is not high. Just give them enough food before they go to work," Brother Wu said, pointing to a group of people in the north.

Through the glass window in the office, Su Cheng realized at this time that there was a group of younger people training near the sea in the north.

Training from a young age is indeed conducive to improving loyalty.

And many of the smuggled immigrants 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.
