The day after the list was confirmed, Xiao Zheng was introduced to the North American oil king by Gandalf. A little old man in his late seventies.
Perhaps it's because of his age, Mosika's height has shrunk to less than 1.7 meters. According to the little old man's self-introduction, he was a famous playboy in New York City in the seventies and eighties. A true representative of a handsome man.
In this regard, Xiao Zheng can only interpret this phenomenon as a sign of malnutrition even in the United States. Otherwise, how could this little old man be a playboy?
However, the little old man's self-introduction opened up the situation for Xiao Zheng.
Mosika is a good person. Despite his age, he didn't create too much of a generation gap with Xiao Zheng. He's also very talkative.
But just as Xiao Zheng was about to enter the main topic and discuss with Mosika about the meeting in five days, the little old man suddenly waved his hand and smiled. "Boss Xiao, I know why you're here. But I can't give you an answer for the time being. "
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng wasn't surprised at all but still asked with some curiosity. "What's the reason?"
"I really don't want to fight for the world's number one position. After all, I'm too old. "Mosika smiled. "But I believe there are many people who want to fight for this vote. Boss Xiao, if you were me, would you easily give away this vote? "
"Indeed, I won't." Xiao Zheng nodded honestly.
"So – let's just talk about the scenery today, not business." The little old man waved his hand and several beautiful maids waiting on the side came up to greet him.
Xiao Zheng tactfully refused the maids' offer. Silently, he lit a cigarette.
In the next few days of meetings, Xiao Zheng didn't even get a single vote for himself. Although this is completely reasonable for Xiao Zheng's current situation. But after all, Gandalf came forward to introduce him.
This inevitably made Xiao Zheng feel discouraged.
"I heard that Lin Laoyao didn't meet with many people, but they all said they would support him." But basically everyone says they will support him. "Gandalf added another sentence to add insult to injury. He smiled bitterly. "It's very disadvantageous for us now."
He didn't expect that no one would support Xiao Zheng when he showed up. This made him feel a little embarrassed.
But on the other hand, Gandalf fully understands their original intentions.
First of all, each person only had one vote. If they didn't compete for it, then everyone would want to maximize the value of this vote. Moreover, even if they couldn't maximize their gains, they had to choose a team with an advantage at the last moment.
For example, Lin Laoyao won in the end. And Xiao Zheng spent a lot of money to buy a few tickets. In the end, would those people be satisfied?
No one was short of such benefits. Therefore, what he was really interested in was not who could afford it. It was about who could provide long-term benefits.
Therefore, it was reasonable that Xiao Zheng couldn't get a vote.
However, it was within Xiao Zheng's expectations that Lin Laoyao could get a ticket. After all, Lin Laoyao was already well-known in Hua Xia. And in New York, although he rarely came here. His terrifying influence has long spread around the world.
Even Wall Street tycoons like Gandalf and Justin are in awe of Lin Laoyao.
How could those big shots on the list not admire Lin Laoyao?
This was the reason why Lin Laoyao wanted Xiao Zheng to withdraw from this battle.
Everyone had already guessed it. Lin Laoyao's move was to force Xiao Zheng to retreat. So much so that he didn't dare to compete with him.
But Xiao Zheng didn't believe it.
He must completely defeat Lin Laoyao when he was at his strongest.
Only in this way, his future retirement would be more enjoyable and valuable.
"It's not like I haven't encountered a headwind situation before." Xiao Zheng shrugged. "Whether it's before, now, or in the future, I don't think there will be too many situations like this. But it's not my style to retreat when I encounter a problem. I also don't want to give up so easily. "
Gandalf sighed softly: "But the current situation is really difficult for us."
Gandalf had already counted the votes. Including Xiao Zheng's one vote, he currently only holds two votes. Moreover, Gandalf also believes that in addition to Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao, there will be at least three more people who will participate in the election.
In other words, he is in a race with four people. Even if each person gets one vote, it will be almost completely divided up. As for Lin Laoyao who has the most advantage, I only need to hold three to four votes to be able to sit on the fishing platform.
How can Xiao Zheng fight against Lin Laoyao?
After several days of trying, Gandalf was a bit discouraged. Although he wouldn't back down at the last minute, and he would even give his vote to someone else. But if he wants to help Xiao Zheng open up the situation and even take the position of the leader. The difficulty has become insurmountable.
Among Xiao Zheng's competitors, Lin Laoyao is not the only one. Even if his biggest competitor is Lin Laoyao. For Xiao Zheng to divide up the votes is also a fatal blow.
In Gandalf's view, Xiao Zheng needs to get at least four votes in order to win. And if Lin Laoyao excels, he may need five votes.
For Xiao Zheng, this is basically an impossible task.
Because among the people that Gandalf introduced to Xiao Zheng, no one is interested in leaving a vote for Xiao Zheng.
Even if he was so talented and so young, it was impossible for him to win.
There are only three days left until the meeting. Gandalf did not continue to accompany Xiao Zheng in his useless work. In fact, he had already used all his connections and resources. But in fact, he did not achieve any results. On the contrary, Gandalf ate a belly full of anger.
Those damn guys, even if one of them is willing to vote for Xiao Zheng. At least Gandalf has some psychological comfort.
These two days, he has no face to face Xiao Zheng.
While Gandalf is madly ashamed of himself, Xiao Zheng on the other side of the room hasn't stopped for a moment.
He is working hard and fighting for it.
He doesn't want to lose to Lin Laoyao.
He still remembers how Lin Laoyao humiliated him when they first met. He even wanted to drive him out on the spot.
He relied on Lin Xiaozhu's rescue and Lin Huayin's strong retention to stay in the Lin family.
That experience will not become a reason for Xiao Zheng to hate Lin Laoyao. But he is a man, he also needs dignity.
He had always looked forward to the day when he could openly stand in front of Old Monster Lin and use his own hard work and strength to defeat this omnipotent expert that no one seemed to be able to defeat.
And this opportunity is now in front of him.
Will Xiao Zheng choose to give up?
Will he choose to retreat without a fight?
Will he be suppressed by Lin Laoyao for the rest of his life and accept his ridicule and humiliation?
Xiao Zheng has come this far, he must take the last step. Whether he wins or loses, he can't let himself leave any regrets.
