Like Lin Laoyao, Xiao Zheng also arranged a car for himself to leave.
He was not afraid that the White House would not prepare a special car for them. But before they came, they expected that this dinner would not be easy. Once they fell out or the conversation was not pleasant enough. It would be a little inappropriate to take someone else's car.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao both prepared a car for themselves. It was convenient to leave freely.
In the parking lot, Xiao Zheng just met Lin Laoyao, who was about to get in the car.
Lin Laoyao was obviously a little surprised that Xiao Zheng could leave so quickly.
"Don't you want to stay a little longer?" Lin Laoyao stood at the door of the car and looked at Xiao Zheng in a suit.
Lin Laoyao was old.
Xiao Zheng was also approaching 40.
They were all the richest men in the world. They were rich and had great power. It could be said that any head of state would treat them politely when he saw them.
If it weren't for the fact that the place they chose to duel this time was New York, the United States. They believed that His Excellency the President would be friendlier to them.
Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette against the wind and handed Lin Laoyao another cigarette. He smiled and said, "You are all gone. Why should I stay?"
"Anyone in this world can be a bargaining chip. It can also be a weapon. "Lin Laoyao asked. "I'm not interested in the President. Don't you?"
The subtext of this sentence was that His Excellency the President first wanted to stop them from dueling. If he couldn't stop it, he might choose one of them to profit from it.
But both sides not only did not choose to interrupt the duel, but also refused the olive branch offered by His Excellency the President.
To both sides, this was not a very wise thing to do. But at the same time, it was also a sufficiently rational decision.
They were Hua Xia people first, and then they were world-famous businessmen. Cooperate with the President of the United States?
How could Xiao Zheng explain to Mr. Hu?
How could Mr. Hu believe that he would not betray his motherland?
Even if Mr. Hu believed it, would the rumors outside believe it?
Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao were both big shots who had lived for a long time. They knew where the bottom line was. He knew what he could do and what he couldn't.
Yes.
The President was indeed the most powerful person in the United States. But how long could his power last? Was there really no one who could keep him in check? All of this was unknown.
At least, Xiao Zheng wasn't worried that the president would use his power to check and balance him.
He also believed that the President did not have the authority to do so.
Why did they choose to launch the final battle in the United States? Because to Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao, this was a grand battle. He also needed to have enough freedom.
The capitalistic United States was completely in line with their conditions. Even if His Excellency the President intervened, he would not be able to change the situation.
After taking a puff, Xiao Zheng said slowly, "In fact, I'm still not sure how to fight this battle."
It wasn't that he didn't know how to deal with Lin Laoyao. It was just that they did not know where this battle would end up. Where was the winning hand? In other words, where was the core of the competition?
Lin Laoyao asked, "How do you want to fight?"
"What about you?" Xiao Zheng didn't answer directly.
"You'll know soon," Lin Laoyao said meaningfully. There was also a hint of fortitude in those unfathomable eyes.
Xiao Zheng nodded, "I'll wait and see."
…
The trip to Washington was not pleasant.
At least this dinner in the White House, Xiao Zheng didn't have a good time.
Early the next morning, Lu Xi came to have morning tea with Xiao Zheng. He said with relish, "Although I have seen His Excellency the President being defeated. In fact, His Excellency the President is squeezed by Congress several times every week on average. But people in our circle really won't blatantly disgust His Excellency the President. After all, the power in his hands is something that ordinary businessmen can't compete with. "
"I'm a businessman. But I'm not an American businessman. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "The person who can deal with me is in Hua Xia, not the United States. Even if he is the President, he doesn't have this ability. "
"That's true." Lu Xi nodded and suddenly changed the topic. "Then will the battle between you and Boss Lin continue?"
"Of course. And it will start soon. "Xiao Zheng pursed his lips.
He had a hunch that Lin Laoyao wouldn't let him wait too long. On the other hand, Xiao Zheng can't delay in the United States for too long. Indeed, His Excellency the President doesn't have the ability to make the final decision on this matter. But the longer it drags on, it will inevitably affect the situation.
This is what Xiao Zheng didn't want to see.
The reason why he chose the United States was to have a hard fight with Lin Laoyao without any restrictions. A hard fight about dignity, future, and even fate.
If he won, he would hide his achievements and fame. If he lost, he would have to leave.
At lunch, Gandalf pulled Xiao Zheng to a very secluded restaurant.
This restaurant is Gandalf's property and the brand he created in the early days of Washington. Today, there are at least one hundred branches around the world. It is also one of Gandalf's proudest works.
At the table, Gandalf thoughtfully asked: "Are you really not afraid of His Excellency the President's revenge?"
"I can't say I'm not afraid." Xiao Zheng shrugged. "I just don't care too much."
"You mean –" Gandalf was somewhat puzzled.
"In the future, Xin Ao may have a business spin-off that will be listed in the United States. But the core of the business is still Hua Xia. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "So no matter how powerful the President is, I'm afraid he won't be able to affect my business in Hua Xia. Secondly, I'm going to retire soon. The President won't find a chance to make things difficult for me. "
"You really want to go all out." With a wry smile, Gandalf spat out a mouthful of turbid air. "I received the news. Lin Laoyao is contacting the real moguls in the business world. "
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng was surprised. "Don't tell me you and Justin don't count?"
"Barely." Gandalf smiled in a somewhat strange manner. "You, me, Justin, and Lin Laoyao. That makes four people. There are also seven people on the list, but I can't guess who they will be. "
"But these eleven people will become the world's most luxurious business lineup in the near future. And these eleven people will also form a super luxurious global alliance. Whoever becomes the leader will be the real number one in the world. "Gandalf looked at Xiao Zheng and joked. "I think the last battle between you and Lin Laoyao is to see who will become the leader, right?"
The leader is number one in the world. If not, then he is number two in the world.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng curiously asked: "This alliance is run by Lin Laoyao?"
"You can think of it that way." Gandalf nodded. "And as far as I know, those big shots were talked to one by one by Lin Laoyao. They all recognize this alliance and are even very interested in it. "
"Of course, the reason why this alliance can go on smoothly is because of Lin Laoyao's efforts. Even if it's me, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to run such an organization. "
