Jefferson.
A group with fifty years of history. He controlled close to ten listed subsidiaries. It could be called a huge business empire. In the early years, it started with real estate. Now, it covered all walks of life, building a perfect and terrifying business chain. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a commercial aircraft carrier.
Miss Sophia, who was sitting opposite Xiao Zheng, was Jefferson's largest shareholder and a deputy director of the board of directors. She was a super-rich woman with a net worth of more than 10 billion USD.
At this moment, such an extraordinary young rich woman was sitting in front of Xiao Zheng to discuss business cooperation. Frankly speaking, not to mention Xiao Zheng, even Shen Han, who was sitting next to him, was very confused. I don't understand why Jefferson would attach so much importance to this meeting.
One should know that although Xin Ao had a certain amount of influence in Pearl City. But on the international stage, he was still a complete rookie. There weren't any successful cases, and there weren't any sensational business plans. Even sending a Vice President of a subsidiary company to attend the Pearl Summit was already giving Xin Ao enough face. But now, Jefferson's high and mighty daughter had come in person, and the mystery behind it was enough to make one's imagination run wild.
"Three years?" Xiao Zheng said with a stunned expression. "Didn't we agree on two years?"
"Because I'm very optimistic about Xin Ao's prospects, and I also believe that Xin Ao will be able to help Jefferson break through Hua Xia's situation. Therefore, I made the decision on my own and added another year, "Sofia said with a smile. "Mr Xiao, do you disagree?"
"Of course." Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile. "It's Xin Ao's honor."
What was this girl trying to do?
Xiao Zheng did not believe in coincidences in this world. Any so-called coincidence was, in the end, a man-made conspiracy. In this regard, Xiao Zheng had to be on his guard against Sofia, guessing at the traps and schemes she might have set up.
Of course, the purpose of Xiao Zheng's trip was to form a partnership with Jefferson. He was naturally happy to accept Sophia's proposal to extend the cooperation period. His only worry was that Sophia was abusing her power for personal gain and plotting something behind his back.
One had to know that Jefferson was a large international corporation. In terms of value, the young Xin Ao was like a newborn baby in front of it. There was no comparison at all. Even one of Jefferson's subsidiaries was listed in the United States. It was difficult to compare them. Thus, Xiao Zheng could not help but suspect Sofia's intentions. She was even more worried that she would lose the Xin Ao that Lin Huayin had worked so hard to build.
"Shen Han, I left my cigarettes in the car," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Shen Han was slightly taken aback, but she quickly realized that Xiao Zheng wanted to talk to her alone. He slowly got up and said, "I'll go get it for you."
With that, she slowly walked out of the private room. It provided a private space for the two of them.
After Shen Han left, Xiao Zheng calmly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one. Then, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Sophia meaningfully. "You spent so much effort to find me. Don't tell me it's for the sake of opening up the situation in Hua Xia? "
"Then what do you think I'm here for?" Sophia asked back. "Yes. Jefferson does have a certain status in the United States. But it has been deteriorating in recent years, and its market value has shrunk by several percent. So I came to Hua Xia to see if there's a good direction for development. After all, Hua Xia has become the second largest economy in the world. It has gone far beyond Japan. "
"Don't talk nonsense with me." Xiao Zheng shook his head. "I just want to know, are you really here to talk business?"
"I'm a businesswoman. If you're not here to talk business, don't tell me you're here to stroll in the garden? "Sophia said with a sly face.
Xiao Zheng knew that Sophia was not a woman to be trifled with. This could be judged from the assassination of Jones she plotted. Not only was this woman extremely smart, but she was also an extremely cruel and merciless woman. Had it not been for his quick reaction, he would have gone to hell together with Jones. Therefore, Xiao Zheng had been extremely wary of this woman from the beginning. He was worried that she would set a trap for him without him noticing.
"Considering your net worth and Jefferson's influence in the United States, why would you care so much about our Xin Ao?" Why would they care so much about New Mysteries? "
"I've never seen anyone take the initiative to defame their own company's employees on the negotiation table," Sophia said with a faint smile. "Mr. Xiao. If you were my employee, I would have fired you on your first day of work. "
"Rest assured. I'll never be your employee," Xiao Zheng said with an indifferent face.
"Why are you so sure?" Sophia smiled. "To be frank, I'm very interested in Xin Ao, and I'm also very happy to invest in Xin Ao. As a matter of fact, Xin Ao isn't as simple as you think. Whether it's the Pearl HQ or the branch in Yan Capital, we have a very complete leadership structure. As long as we have enough funds, we will surely become a world-famous giant enterprise within three to five years. "
"Thank you for your appreciation," Xiao Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and said with a calm face. "But I advise you to give up on this idea. Our CEO Lin won't easily invest in us. As far as I know, many founders of enterprises were eventually kicked out of the board of directors due to mutual deception. "
Hearing Xiao Zheng's description, Sophia pursed her lips and smiled. "Mr. Xiao, in terms of killing people, you're indeed a top-notch expert. But in terms of business, you're as young as a newborn baby. I can't help but laugh at what you said. "
"Are you mocking me?" Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow. His murderous intent rose.
"I'm complimenting you on how cute you are." Sophia smiled. "Can't you tell?"
Xiao Zheng's face darkened, and he changed the topic. "Alright. Let's stop the gossip here. Since you're willing to cooperate with Xin Ao, then sign the contract. "
As he spoke, he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Sophia, who was sitting across from him.
"Can you lend me the pen in front of your chest?" Sofia pointed at Xiao Zheng's fountain pen that was used to kill people. She said calmly. "I was in a hurry when I left the house. I forgot to ghostwrite. "
Xiao Zheng glanced at Sophia and sneered. "You didn't even bring a pen when you went out to sign the contract?"
Even so, he still handed the pen to Sophia. "Be careful, this pen is very heavy."
The moment Sophia took the pen, she almost dropped it.
Indeed.
It was indeed difficult for a girl who had no strength to truss a chicken to use a fountain pen that weighed more than five kilograms. But fortunately, it was just a signature and not an 800-word essay. After signing the contract, Sophia smiled and handed it to Xiao Zheng. She said, "Mr. Xiao, from today onwards, we're colleagues. I hope we'll have a pleasant cooperation in the future. "
"I hope it's pleasant." Xiao Zheng extended his arm, his face gloomy and cold. "Otherwise, you'll end up like Jones."
