Wilson smiled and looked at Jayce. “Nine, you’ve been isolated by Ah Liang.”
Jayce looked at Qiao Liang in astonishment and shouted, “We had a great time working together in Sweden! Are you going to abandon me for seven?”
Qiao Liang took a look at Jayce and frowned. “Take care of the business in Country M. I gotta hang up.”
“Wait a minute.” Wilson said to Qiao Liang, “What should I prepare for my trip to City A?”
Qiao Liang thought for a while. “You don’t have to prepare anything. Just come over. The foreign minister wants to meet you.”
Wilson frowned. “Aren’t you in charge of the business in China? Why does the foreign minister suddenly want to meet me?”
“Maybe you can give him a sense of security.” Qiao Liang said as he turned off the video. On the other side, Wilson and Jayce, sitting in front of the computer, looked at each other with doubt. The corner of Jayce’s eyes twitched. “How can a person like you give others a sense of security? Is the foreign minister blind?”
Wilson slowly stood up, gracefully turned off the computer, looked at Jayce with a smile and said, “Nine, in any case, compared with you,I can give people a greater sense of security.”
Jayce stared and shouted at Wilson’s back. “As for sense of security, both you and Qiao Liang are no match for me!”
Wilson left without looking back. Jayce snorted and glared at his subordinate who stood at the door and tried to stop laughing. “What are you looking at? One more look and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
Lei Lin smiled and handed a document to Jayce. “Mr. Nine, this is the design drawing of the latest weapon. Please have a look. If you think it’s okay, I’ll have them produce it. This sniper rifle’s range has reached two kilometers, and ballistic...” Lei Lin followed Jayce and handed him another file as he said, “Our men have found where Chu Ling was. This the satellite picture. Do you need to contact him now?”
Jayce raised his eyebrows, took a look at the picture and smiled. “What is he doing in the desert? Catching a snake to eat or seeking death?”
“It’s said that he invested in an oil field in Saudi Arabia. Maybe he is searching for an oil well over there.” Lei Lin said with a smile. Jayce threw the picture back to Lei Lin. “No matter if he is digging diamonds or oil, contact him. Tell him Ah Liang has a job for him and ask him to go to City A to find Ah Liang.”
He then muttered, “Since when has Qiao Liang been emboldened enough to order Chu Ling around?”
On this side, Qiao Liang was sitting in the reception room of the police station and processing documents, when his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone. When hearing what the other side said, he raised his eyebrows. “Do I have to step in on such a trivial matter? Then why do I need you?”
The other side hurriedly apologized. Soon his cell phone rang again. He took a look at the caller ID and rejected the call. This call was from Xiao Jing who should have been sleeping at home. Xiao Jing had to hold an emergency meeting in his office with his face all dark. After introducing the key points of the meeting, he looked at the executives and asked, “Do you understand what I just said?”
An executive sitting next to him frowned and said solemnly, “President Xiao, wouldn’t this be too risky?”
Xiao Jing looked at the executive who continued. “We’re not going to fight one company but the whole business circle of City A. I’ve counted the number of them. The number of the companies that have cooperated with Hongkun Group or Lu Guangxiong is at least thirty. It’s okay if we just fight Hongkun Group or its subsidiaries, but we’re going to go against over thirty. This is too risky. If we’re short of fund or not careful enough, we’ll be doomed.”
Xiao Jing nodded and looked at the other executives, asking, “Have the rest of you got anything to say?”
“We agree with Mr. Gao. Although the Qiao’s International Group is very strong, we are not capable of fighting over thirty companies at the same time. If the companies of other cities join the war and go against us, the Qiao’s International Group might disappear overnight.” Another executive said.
Xiao Jing nodded again. The others looked at Xiao Jing and asked. “Do you agree with us, President Xiao?”
Xiao Jing leaned backward and gave a cold smile. “I think you’ve known how many spies we’ve cleared out in the past week. These spies almost sold our company to Hongkun Group. I worked overtime in President Qiao’s office for a whole week to defend our company, whereas you showed up and left punctually. You went home to stay with your family or have fun in bars, as if what happened to the company had nothing to do with you.”
The others all lowered their heads and didn’t look at Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing smiled. “Yes, it’s hard to fight over thirty companies at the same time, but have you thought that these companies have been dragged down by Hongkun Group. If we take these companies down, wouldn’t our business scope widen? Wouldn’t our company be scaled up? And wouldn’t you get more dividends? Let’s think about which international company doesn’t develop on the edge of the cliff. If you don’t take risks, how can we grow stronger?”
The executives looked at each other in silence and Xiao Jing continued. “Take Long Xiao Group for example. Could it be free from any risks before it became the No.1 company group in the world that is engaged in so many fields? I remember when Long Xiao was merely a small gun factory in the beginning, but now it has monopolized the global economy’s lifeline and controlled eighty percent of the world’s arms deal. Almost all arms deal are dealt through Long Xiao. Didn’t they take risks to develop from a small gun factory into the world’s largest arms dealer?”
“President Xiao, we can’t compare with Long Xiao.” An executive said, “Long Xiao Group is strong because it has the whole world behind them, but what about us? We don’t have anything... except you and President Qiao. This comparison is too far-fetched and we’re not going to buy it.”
