About an hour later, Chen Xing returned to the conference room after taking a nap.
"What are you doing1
The picture in front of him made him a little angry.
He was a little nervous at first, but he didn't expect that the other party would go so far and actually play poker.
"Are you planning to piss me off to death?" Chen Xing said with a cold face, "If that's the case, then I can tell you that you are almost done."
"It's okay." "We don't dare to offend the Prime Minister." "Did you misunderstand?" "Classmate Chen, please understand the situation clearly before making a judgment, okay?"
Several women showed innocent expressions.
"I asked you to negotiate, but you are playing cards and being unreasonable. Chen Xing is angry.
Several women explained that because the negotiations were fruitless and both parties were insisting on their positions, they unanimously decided to use the results of the card game to determine the ownership of the Dadongting.
When Chen Xing heard it, he felt it was okay, so he asked them what the result of the card game was. The answer was, a draw!
It's like doing nothing.
"I warn you, my patience has run out1
"I'll give you another chance."
"If the results of the discussion are not reached before dawn, I guarantee you." Chen Xing bared his teeth and glared at each of them with a fierce look in his eyes, "Someone will scream miserably. 1
He dropped the harsh words and left with an angry step, leaving the four women looking at each other in shock.
Another two hours passed. Through the glass window, the first hint of fish white appeared on the horizon, it was already morning.
Chen Xing has already thought about how to punish a few disobedient women later. He had even thought about where he would be in the bathtub, what postures and movements he would use.
That's right, he had already decided in his heart that these women would not discuss the matter to a satisfactory outcome for him.
However, when he returned to the conference room, he was completely stunned.
I saw that Nuo Da's hall was empty, not even a single figure.
Ran?
He stared blankly at the conference table, and it took him a while before he remembered to dial a few women's messages.
"Deep, beep, beep, beep, beep"
Without exception, all calls were hung up after one ring.
"Lying grass 1
Chen Xing threw the portable screen on the table. His mood at this moment could no longer be described as angry, he almost wanted to kill someone.
"None of them are good1
"Quantama is a bitch 1
He couldn't help but cursed loudly and kicked the chair around.
"You guys remember 1
"You'd better not let me see you in the future, otherwise I'll kill you every time I see you 1
After venting for several hours, Chen Xing gradually calmed down.
After regaining his senses, he then thought about it, they were all women from his own family, and they were all still pregnant with their children. It’s not incomprehensible to be a little willful occasionally.
After all, forcing them to make a decision on such a big matter would be very difficult for both parties.
For the sake of your unborn child, just give them some time.
Anyway, he has convinced Aaliyah and Trilis, and as long as he doesn't agree, they can't start a war.
Thinking this way, he felt much better.
I looked at my watch and saw it was ten o'clock in the morning. After a whole night of fuss last night, it's time to catch up on some sleep.
Chen Xing left the conference room, found a room with a bed, and slept soundly.
Although his character is not generous, he is not a person who likes to get entangled. Even if you are angry and unwilling, you will not keep thinking about it and struggle over and over again. The more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
The past is past, and there is no point in gritting your teeth and farting all day long. Forget about the unpleasantness for the time being, eat when you need to eat, and sleep when you need to sleep.
“Didi, didi 1
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing was woken up by the message tone of his black watch.
He rolled over sleepily, activated the screen, and read the message. It was from Jian Yue Canglian, reporting to him the latest situation in Orchid Town.
All the living corpses collected in Nolan's corpse wave have been transported to Orchid Town, and pits have been dug and buried.
At present, the expeditionary force has basically completed its work and is preparing to return to Monitor Lizard City to rest.
Speaking of the expeditionary army, Chen Xing thought of the founding of the country by mercenaries. Last time we just made a start and did not discuss follow-up plans. We happened to be in Sanchahe City now, so we might as well convene a chamber of commerce to finalize the matter of founding the country.
My own women are difficult to deal with, but they are more than enough to deal with these businessmen.
For persimmons, always look for soft ones.
After a while, Chen Xing summoned all the leaders of the Sanchahe City Chamber of Commerce for a meeting in the conference room.
"How did you discuss the matter you mentioned last time?" Chen Xing asked the Chamber of Commerce Chairman/Ximeilov.
"This, this." Merov hesitated for a while and said with some anxiety, "Prime Minister, can the matter of founding the country be slowed down for a while?"
"Slow down?" Chen Xing asked doubtfully, "Why do you have to slow down? Isn't it different if you do it later or earlier?"
"There is a saying that if it is going to rain and my mother is going to get married, there is nothing we can do about it." Chen Xing looked at the other party, "Delaying time can't change anything, don't you think so, Mr. Melov? "
"This, that, your Excellency is right." Merov nodded and sighed, "We really can't change anything, but" he changed the topic and said seriously, "The tradition of free trade cities being managed by merchants has continued. Hundreds of years"
"A sage once said that existence is reasonable."
"So we believe that there is a reason for such a tradition to exist."
"In other words, the existence of a free trade city is of great significance to the kingdom's economy."
"Sir, we have been operating here for hundreds of years, but we are asked to pack up and leave overnight. Isn't this kind of request unfair to us?" Merov asked cautiously.
"You think it's unfair?" Chen Xing sneered, "Since ancient times, dynasties have changed and power has been shuffled. How can there be anything fair or unfair?"
"It's just about who has the toughest fist, who has the loudest voice, and who has the final say." Chen Xing said, clenching his fists.
"Now, Ambergris River," he pointed to himself, "I have the final say."
"Sir, you are, this is." Faced with such a domineering declaration, Merov didn't know how to argue. It's true that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain.
He looked helplessly at the other business leaders, but everyone had a look of horror on their faces. They were obviously frightened by Chen Xing's remarks, and were shocked and afraid.
Let me ask, can they not be shocked? The other party didn't even want the most basic fig leaf, and directly threatened them with force to force them to submit. Can they not be afraid? The other party has all the power in the world, and a single word can wipe them out.
"Don't be unconvinced," Chen Xing softened his tone and persuaded, "The reason why you are here today is because you are usually too ruthless in making money."
"I thought you were overly exploiting the mercenary group, which is why we had to establish a country to fight for our own interests."
"Sir, I don't understand." Merov looked confused. "Since ancient times, merchants and mercenaries have had a symbiotic relationship, just like leaves and roots. They play a role in their respective fields and achieve each other's achievements. There is no one party. Which side to exploit?”
Chen Xing shook his head and said, "Businessmen accumulated wealth and had their own business empires, but mercenaries had nothing. They were dead and disabled. They were lucky enough to survive until retirement, but they were also poor. Finally, they died in a dirty alley, waiting. City cleaners came to collect the bodies.”
"Sir, what you say is a bit overgeneralized." Merov said sincerely, "There are businessmen who go bankrupt and jump off buildings, and there are mercenaries who have achieved brilliant achievements like you."
"I'm talking about the majority." Chen Xing emphasized, "Most, you know, most businessmen can enjoy their old age, but mercenaries, it is almost impossible1
"You have Sanchahe City, what do you have as mercenaries?" Chen Xing asked.
"Lan Guo" someone said weakly.
"Lan Kingdom 1 Chen Xing yelled, "How dare you mention that damn thing to me 1
"Anyone with a little bit of brain can see that Qiao An is using mercenaries and treating them as stepping stones to the throne. 1
"Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense to you anymore" Chen Xing announced, "I only want one result, to cooperate or not to cooperate"
"If you choose the latter, I can change someone to talk to you, for example," Chen Xing said with a gloomy face, "Arqiao Mu from the Black Prison."
"I believe that you will have a very pleasant meeting." Chen Xing raised the corner of his mouth and showed a cruel smile.
The business leaders suddenly panicked, stood up in a hurry, and explained to Chen Xing in a flurry of words.
"No, no, no. 1 "Sir, we didn't mean that. 1 "Sir, you misunderstood. 1 "We are willing to cooperate. Really, we are willing to cooperate. 1
"Sir, Prime Minister 1 Melov grabbed Chen Xing's hand and repeatedly emphasized that it was not that they were unwilling to cooperate, but that the matter was unexpected and he hoped to give them some time to discuss.
Chen Xing agreed to Meilov's request. After all, the tofu that burns your mouth still needs to be eaten in one bite.
After businessmen discussed it day and night, the second meeting was held at the Free Trade Building.
Chamber of Commerce Chairman/President Meilov proposed to Chen Xing that he could consider establishing a mercenary nation in Jinfen Port.
"We can provide money and armed business groups to fully assist you in establishing a country in Jinfen Port." Melov patted his chest and said with confidence.
"Excuse me"
Chen Xing looked at each other.
"Am I short of money?"
"Do I need an army?"
"Do I need your support?"
Chen Xing's three consecutive questions left Meilov speechless.
"Okay, stop showing off your cleverness." Chen Xing said impatiently, "Don't try to divert the conflict, I have no interest in Jinfen Port."
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Merov asked Chen Xing again to give them some time to discuss.
Although there was a suspicion of delay, Chen Xing didn't care. It's already been a long time, and he doesn't mind waiting a few more days.
Moreover, in the face of such a big change, it is indeed necessary to give businessmen a little buffer time, and the conflicts that can be reduced should be reduced as much as possible.
After all, when we established our country in Sanchahe City, we still met these merchants without looking up. As Merov said, merchants and mercenaries have a symbiotic relationship, so there is no need to get too serious.
A week passed quickly.
After repeated discussions, Melov once again asked Chen Xing whether he could leave half of the city for the Chamber of Commerce.
In other words, Sanchahe City is divided into two parts, one half for merchants and one half for mercenaries, and they do not interfere with each other.
And Melov hinted to Chen Xing that if pushed too hard, some people might fight to the death.
Merchant management of Sanchahe City has a history of hundreds of years. The chain of interests is intertwined and has far-reaching influence. It is closely related to the commerce of all countries in the world.
A single move can affect the whole body. Once there is any turmoil in Sanchahe City, the world's stock markets will also be in chaos.
To put it simply, the water in Sanchahe City is very deep, and the interests involved are not just those of the Red Country. If it is not handled well, it is likely to cause a worldwide financial tsunami.
"So you are threatening me?" Chen Xing asked. The cold light flashed in his eyes, which made Maylov feel frightened.
"My Lord Prime Minister," Merov said with a pained face, "Ice Blue City was not built in a day. This sentence is also applicable to a free trade city." "
"This matter is of great importance, sir, please think twice before you act." Merov bowed solemnly.
Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I'll think about it again and give you the answer later."
Seeing that Chen Xing agreed to consider it, Meilov saluted again, "Then we will go back and wait for you, sir."
"Kangdang 1
Before the word "good news" could be uttered, a loud noise suddenly came from behind Melov, and he was suddenly frightened and his whole body trembled. He subconsciously turned around and saw two strong men knocking open the door and breaking in.
A group of hotel guards caught up from behind.
"Mr. Merov, yes, I'm sorry, we can't stop them1
The guards were out of breath and looked a little embarrassed.
Chen Xing was shocked when he saw the person coming.
"Huozui, Pang Li, why are you here?"
At this moment, the two of them looked anxious, sweating profusely, and their faces and bodies were covered in mud, as if they had been traveling for days and nights in a row.
"Boss 1
"Ye, Ye Yang"
Huozui struggled and looked at Pang Li for a few times before gritting his teeth and continuing, "Miss Ye Yang instigated several army commanders to rebel."
"The brothers were put under house arrest, and all their black watches and communication equipment were confiscated."
"With the help of Commander Xiang and Miss Cang Lian, the brothers barely escaped 1
"What? 1 Chen Xing stared at the other party with wide eyes and a face of disbelief. Ye Yang Bailiu actually rebelled!
"What Huozui said is true," Pang Li assured.
Immediately afterwards, several more people broke in, namely Xiang Caidi, Jian Yue Canglian, Da Mao, Cassie and others.
Everyone looked like they were tired from traveling and had been traveling for several days in a row.
Although Chen Xing didn't want to believe it, the reality in front of him was telling him that something big had happened!
He quickly dialed Ye Yang Bailiu's voice communication, but the result was a busy signal, and the other party blocked him directly.
"Wocao 1
Chen Xing couldn't help but curse and dialed Lacey's voice again. As if it was agreed upon, it was also a busy signal.
He had a very bad premonition and started dialing Aaliyah's voice.
"Dudu, dudu, dudu"
busy tone!
Aaliyah actually blocked him.
"Boss, watch TV 1
"There is also 1 online
Chen Xing took the portable screen handed over by Cassie. The front page headline of the online news turned out to be the announcement of his removal from the post of prime minister.
[In view of Chen Erliu’s special status, he is temporarily dismissed from the post of Prime Minister of the North! ]
“There is also action in the South1
“Omg 1
"Boss, look here 1
The front page headline of another large news website was published by Ice Blue City.
[In view of Chen Erliu’s special status, he is temporarily exempted from the post of Prime Minister of the South! ]
As if they had discussed it, the format of the two pieces of news was exactly the same, except for the difference in the titles of "Prime Minister of the North" and "Prime Minister of the South."
A huge change occurred suddenly. Chen Xing grabbed his hair hard and felt that his whole body was about to collapse.
He dialed the voices of Bai Ye Fenghua, Bai Ye Liufang, Guihu, A Qiaomu and others in sequence, and all received busy signals.
Finally, he dialed Triris's voice, but the signal was still busy.
"Who, who is doing this? 1
Chen Xing's eyes were red.
Forget about the others, there was no way Triris would not answer his communication.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became, and a possibility suddenly flashed in his mind.
He quickly dialed the voice of the seventh princess of Qing Kingdom.
"Dudu, dudu, dudu"
Still busy tone.
By now, he already had the answer in his mind.
"Sola, is this a good thing you did? 1
He asked through gritted teeth, looking at the black watch.
The screen went dark, and Sora didn't respond to him.
Oops
It didn't take him long to figure out the key points.
He had calculated everything, but he had missed the potential threat of Sora.
Although he persuaded Aaliya and Trilis, with Sora's active cooperation, Bai Yefenghua, Baiye Liufang, Lacey, and Yeyang Bailiu, who control the actual power and army, are fully capable of blocking him and the two Supreme connection.
Once the war starts, even if he can contact both sides, it will be too late.
He could even conclude that as long as he left Sanchahe City now, he would be chased and intercepted by people sent by Bai Ye Fenghua and Lacey.
