"Madam, you can still bargain with me now. This is something I didn't expect."
At the beginning of a new day, Xu Chuan could only quickly tighten his desires and deal with the things in front of him one by one.
Amanda's phone was the first to ring.
Her attitude didn't seem to give up, and she was using Alex's experiences to negotiate terms with Xu Chuan.
But it was obvious that this woman was asking for a high price. She actually knew the value of the chips in her hand, and it was no longer possible to achieve her original purpose.
Even if we cooperate with Umbrella, a 50-50 split is impossible.
"If you must have this attitude, then we will continue to delay it. When Percy calms down, I will see if you still want to talk nonsense with me." The initiative lies in Xu Chuan's hands. Of course, it is impossible to be polite to the other party. However, it is still necessary to ensure that Alex’s past information is not leaked.
They are now pulling each other's back and bargaining.
Amanda must return the jammer, and finally be able to gain some benefits from Zeitloff's matter. After all, cultivating Alex's organization has also spent a lot of resources.
If you invest, you will get a return. This is the consensus of Western societies in Europe and the United States, and Xu Chuan can understand it.
"We can talk about this again. My consistent position is to make the cake bigger so that everyone can take a bite." Xu Chuan did not immediately reach a specific agreement with the other party, and of course he would delay it if he could.
"I will go to New York in a few days. You know, I bought a team. We can meet and discuss it in detail then." He wanted to stabilize the woman for the time being. "I will bring the equipment with me then. past."
Although it was the other party who was anxious, Xu Chuan was also worried about Percy's counterattack, and Amanda couldn't hold on for a single round.
Comparatively speaking, this woman is easier to deal with. Percy, that old fox, is really difficult to handle.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan contacted Birkhoff directly. His technical team was dismantling and studying the jammer, saying that they were trying to figure out how to crack something inside. Xu Chuan asked them to hurry up and restore it after studying it and then operate it. Return to America.
"That's pretty much it. Someone needs to be left in Moscow to be responsible for Alex's safety, and of course her mother." Xu Chuan looked at Nikita, his inner thoughts clearly revealed.
But what surprised him was that Nikita rejected the matter, "I want to go back to the United States. I care more about the organization's affairs. Amanda let Percy escape. I know very well what he will think. I can’t let him succeed if he tries to take back the organization.”
"Here Alex, Gogol's departure has left Smike with no manpower available. The PMCs he hired cannot pose any danger to Alex. Just let Curtis or someone else stay. "
The most important thing is that Alex needs to form her own team, but this does take some time.
"That's okay. This guy got together with Zetlov's public relations manager. I guess he will be very happy to hear the news." Xu Chuan nodded in agreement, although it was indeed very annoying to have this loser by his side. It's easy to use, but now I need it for work.
…
"No, boss, my house has just been renovated and I haven't lived in it for a few days." But I didn't expect Curtis to object. After hearing the news, Curtis held his head with a forced 996 expression on his face. .
"Fuck, give me the key, and I'll help you take care of the house." What kind of reason is this? Xu Chuan said he couldn't accept it, "Okay, I'll leave your good brother to you, and you can bring someone to help Eric." Si forms a team.”
The most important thing is not to allow others to interfere, even Levkin, who is now cooperating, this must not be compromised.
"It won't take too long, just three months. At that time, let your good brother become a regular employee."
Zeitlov's foundation is still there, and Gogol was not taken away entirely by Ali. Some personnel in positions that he could not buy out are still there.
Xu Chuan threw out a bait, and Curtis easily bit the hook. This guy is really good to his friends.
"What about you, boss?"
"I'm going back to China. I have work there and I have to go back. Then I'll go directly to New York to continue the acquisition of the Pirates."
Xu Chuan looked up to the sky and sighed. He didn't expect that he was so busy. This was not the life he wanted. Wouldn't it be nice to just eat and wait for death?
…
In the headquarters building of Zetloff Group, Alex was conducting another interview in the same office as yesterday. This time the reporter was a mainstream media in Europe.
She is now the darling of the media. The exiled princess returns home to inherit the family property. It is like a fairy tale. Her attention is even greater than that of those celebrities. Many media are contacting Zetloff to give her an exclusive interview.
Someone has even found out that she had appeared at a UC Technology product launch before. Well, he was Xu Chuan's assistant at that time.
Of course Umbrella has thought of these things and made corresponding arrangements.
Looking at the photo, Alex replied with an inexplicable smile on her face, "I was interning at UC Technology at that time, and I really learned a lot during that time."
…
The interview ended. Both parties were very satisfied with the interview. After the reporter left, Alex collapsed on the sofa. She was so tired.
She had never experienced this kind of life before, and she wasn't completely used to it yet.
There was a knock on the office door. Alex propped herself up on the sofa to stand up, and then a sharp pain came from somewhere that made her take a breath.
Slowly walk behind the desk and do your homework before letting the person outside the door in.
This is a tall and tall young man under the age of twenty. He is neatly dressed and well-mannered. It is obvious that he has received a so-called elite education. His expression is a bit unnatural and even shy.
Alex looked at it carefully, and then shouted in surprise, "Ivan!"
But luckily she still remembered her injuries and didn't jump up excitedly.
This was her childhood playmate, whose father also died in that attack. He joined Gogol as an adult, nominally to track down the murderer.
Even after many years, Alex still recognized her former friend at a glance.
"Alexandra, long time no see. It's so nice to see you." A young man named Ivan was hugged by Alex in embarrassment.
Alex was very happy, and at the same time a little emotional. The little kid who seemed to be taller than herself back then was now a muscular hunk.
"Long time no see, how have you been these past years?" Alex let go of each other and started reminiscing with Ivan.
"Fortunately, I have been living with my mother, and the group has been taking care of us."
After the attack that year, the widows of the victims were raised by Zetloff, and their lives and children's education were well arranged.
Of course, Smike didn't do anything about this, and it was considered a means to win over people's hearts.
Alex hesitated for a moment and did not tell the person behind the attack. She still didn't know what the purpose of this childhood friend was here.
"Uncle Levkin asked me to come here. He told me what happened back then. I think you need help." Ivan's expression was very sad and angry. He had received Gogol's most rigorous training just for revenge, and when he arrived Finally, he discovered that his enemy was right beside him.
Alex was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Levkin had already told Ivan about this, but this also showed that the little friend in front of her should be trustworthy.
"Smike is our common enemy, I will not let him go." Alex's attitude was of course very firm, and then she talked about work matters, "How is Gogol's situation?"
As the child of Zetlov's former core staff, Ali certainly couldn't tell him his plan. All he took away were his confidants and all his resources, and he also transferred all the funds in his account.
What is left is basically an empty shell, with a handful of combat personnel and most civilian personnel.
"We need to rebuild Gogol, and we must do it as soon as possible." Alex thought about what Xu Chuan said, "In Zetlov's overseas mining operations, Gogol was previously responsible for security issues, but now Alibaba is independent. We must find ways to ensure the safety of these assets, otherwise it will definitely cause very large losses."
According to Xu Chuan, Ali Taseloff will definitely put his mind on these industries. The production and sales channels of these assets are mature. It can be said that as long as they grab them, they can achieve profits. If those investments on the African continent are left alone, , it is very likely that everything will become someone else's bag.
Ivan agreed. He must have understood the specific situation before coming. "However, our current manpower is completely insufficient. The most we can guarantee now is domestic manpower."
Even so, the manpower is still stretched thin, and as for those abroad, we really can't take care of them in the short term.
"I've thought about this. Since the minerals in Africa may not be saved, we might as well use these inevitable losses to exchange for the support of others."
That's right, Alex is going to turn her elbows out. She plans to liquidate what assets may be lost, and then use these to cooperate with Umbrella to deal with Gogol.
This was not something Xu Chuan asked her to do, but a decision she made after careful consideration.
Umbrella is also currently developing in Africa. Zettloff's minerals in Africa can accept Umbrella's shareholding, and they will be temporarily responsible for security work. This can be regarded as a win-win result.
Xu Chuan really hadn't thought about it that way. This incident was completely out of his plan, which meant that his already stretched manpower was even worse.
So, after hearing about this at night, Xu Chuan directly pressed the girl who was doing the work privately on the bed and spanked her butt hard.
However, it is obvious that this behavior has no deterrent effect and Alex will regard it as a reward.
"I can save at most half of Zetlov's minerals in Africa. You can discuss the rest with Levkin, but I think Ali is definitely bound to get it. You don't have any good ideas."
Zeitloff's assets in Africa are not large compared to his business in the country, but even so, they involve several large rare metal mines, such as a copper mine and a gold mine in Zimbabwe. mine as well as a diamond mine.
There is also a uranium mine in Tanzania, and there is also investment in oil in South Sudan, where Umbrella has begun its layout.
Many of these mining companies are in normal production. Xu Chuan believes that Ali must be plotting against them. As long as it causes trouble in the area and worsens the local situation, Zetlov can only withdraw its employees. At that time, Ali will be in vain. Pick up.
"I may be able to help you save the South Sudan and Central and North Africa regions, but I can't do anything else." This was the conclusion he made after careful consideration.
Alex raised her upper hand, and her bound hands were fixed to the wall lamp with a rope. Her legs trembled and she made a sound of "Woo~" from her mouth. There was a piece of pure white cloth stuffed there, which was obvious. This pure white fabric was the same as the one she had left.
Xu Chuan was standing in front of Alex with a serious look on his face, seemingly discussing business matters with her, but he needed to ignore the moving right hand he had stretched out underneath.
Alex's face was red, and her eyes full of moisture were full of prayer.
Xu Chuan's left hand touched the other person's face, seeming a little confused, "What do you want to say? Do you want me to stop? I'm just checking your injuries." He said so, but his movements did not stop at all.
Alex rubbed her cheek against his hand out of habit, then shook her head and nodded again.
The tacit understanding between the two made it easy for Xu Chuan to understand what Alex meant. She was telling him not to stop, and she was fine.
However, this kind of thing can never go as the other party wants.
"Ha", Xu Chuan smiled, and his smile looked so evil in the dim light.
"Be good, I still have some things to do, please stay by yourself for a while.",
The rope on Alex's hand was not very secure. Of course it could not trap a trained agent, but it had a strong symbolic meaning. It could be said that even without the rope, Xu Chuan asked her to pull it with her hands. On the wall lamp, she would not put her hand down without the other person's consent.
Accepting everything the other party imposes with an attitude of gratitude is the rule between them.
And Xu Chuan silently recited in his heart, 'If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be surprised if the sky falls...' and walked out of the room. If he stayed any longer, he would definitely go straight to the topic. This girl's attraction to him in some aspects seemed to exceed his self-control. force.
No wonder those chaebols keep changing women, because sometimes it’s like opening a blind box and there will be surprises.
