Itō seemed to have guessed that Sophia would react this way. He shook his head and said, "I've said it before. Business is about giving and taking. I've given Mr. Xiao a big gift. If he doesn't give me anything in return. How can I continue to be the boss? How can my subordinates trust me? "
After talking for more than ten minutes, Sophia hung up the phone. She muttered with a tired expression, "Itō is really a shrewd person."
Itō's words sounded very convincing. Even Sophia, who had a glib tongue, couldn't refute him.
Give a gift?
"I killed him." Itō said word by word. "That's giving face to Miss Sophia."
Itō's cold expression gradually relaxed. He elegantly lit a cigarette and said with a calm expression, "As the host, I shouldn't make Miss Sophia feel uncomfortable. In fact, I planned to do so on the day you arrived in Tokyo. "
"Since Mr. Itō gave me face," Sophia retorted with a tough attitude. "Why not give him another one? I will definitely remember this favor in my heart. "
However, after giving the gift, Itō immediately requested a deep collaboration with Xiao Zheng and Xin Ao's Phantom series.
"And he even gave you a difficult problem." Sophia smiled. "He even dared to kill people in order to cooperate with you. How can you refuse such a partner? Especially on his turf. "
In order to cooperate with Xiao Zheng, Itō was willing to let his subordinates die. If Xiao Zheng refused, who could guess what crazy things Itō would do?
After a pause, he continued, "Three days. I hope to get a satisfactory answer in three days. If not, I will deal with it in my own way. "
Of course, apart from being eloquent, Sophia was also a difficult woman to deal with. When I find that reasoning doesn't work, I will choose to be unreasonable.
"Five days." Sophia said with a smile. "This is a business worth billions. Three days is too hasty. "
"I'm sorry about that." Itō's eyes were as calm as ever, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "But Miss Sophia, if you hadn't brought Mr. Xiao here, how would I have lost a general? Or, do you think I'm a bloodthirsty murderer? Do you like to attack your own subordinates? "
Yes. From Xiao Zheng's point of view, or perhaps from Phantom's point of view, Itō's actions could indeed be considered as helping Xiao Zheng. Even though it was a little extreme and cold-blooded, it was definitely not a bad thing.
"Oh?" Itō looked up and his gaze landed on Sophia's exquisite face. "What do you mean?"
Asking a loyal servant to commit seppuku in front of him?
She had the guts to risk her life to kill Jones, the leader of the Fox Hunters. How could she be a good woman? She had the confidence to do so. In terms of Fox Hunting's status, although Itō was the richest man in Dongjing, he still couldn't compare to Sophia, who controlled two huge forces in North America and Europe.
Sophia was dumbfounded.
At this moment, not only did the so-called meeting gift not make Xiao Zheng feel happy, it was like a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
"Mr. Xiao is my good friend. I was the one who brought him here," Sophia said, pursing her lips. "If you force him to cooperate, aren't you not giving me face? If word gets out, how am I supposed to speak in public? "
"In that case, Itō's so-called gift is just a favor that doesn't cost him much," Xiao Zheng said, pursing his lips.
Perhaps it was because he was afraid of Sophia's huge forces in the West, or perhaps Itō didn't intend for things to escalate to an uncontrollable state. A faint smile appeared on his lips. "I can give Miss Sophia another favor."
After finishing the tea in the pot, Sophia stood up and bade farewell. "Thank you, Mr. Itō, for your warm hospitality. Please come to my house the next time you go to New York. I will serve the most delicious coffee to Mr. Itō. "
Itō said that killing his subordinates was giving Sophia face. Otherwise, why would Mr. Itō, the richest man in Dongjing, the person with the highest status in the Japanese Empire, whom even the emperor and nobles respected, murder his subordinates for a mere Xiao Zheng?
"Thank you." Sophia smiled faintly and nodded.
Sophia was the one who brought him here. Now that there was a problem and they were in a deadlock, as one of the hosts of this meeting, she naturally had to say something. "Mr. Itō, I am very embarrassed by what you did."
"But you have already made me uncomfortable," Sophia said indifferently.
"Yes." Sophia did not hide it and smiled. "I have long heard that Itō is vicious and merciless, and that he does all kinds of evil deeds. You openly rejected him just now and became his enemy. I am afraid that he will vent his anger on me and attack me personally. So I arranged for someone to protect my life. "
"Alright. Five days. "Ito did not reject Sofia's request, and he leaned forward slightly as he spoke. "Miss Sophia, you should know that I have given you enough face."
The scene of the disembowelment was still vivid in his mind. If Itō was so cruel to his subordinates, how could he treat an enemy who was unwilling to cooperate with him?
Xiao Zheng had met quite a number of big shots. Whether it was Lu Dashan, who looked sloppy but was actually very decisive, Xiao Zheng had met many big shots. Or Lin Chaotian, who made Xiao Zheng feel superior from the beginning. Not to mention his brother's wealth, the mother-in-law who could dominate Hua Xia, or Bai Wuxia, who had a dragon in her body. According to Xiao Zheng's current knowledge, he believed that these people were not weaker than Itō. However, Xiao Zheng thought that none of these people would be as cruel and merciless as Itō.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zheng asked with concern as he drove the car.
The conversation that followed had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng. Although he had a business worth billions in his hands. After all, this was a date between Sophia and Itō. As an outsider, the best way for him to do so was to listen in. He even tried to avoid interrupting.
"The one who died just now is called Koji. He is indeed the general agent of Chanel in Tokyo. Of course, to put it bluntly, he is just an errand boy for Itō." Sophia smiled. "According to the information, this Koji cheated Itō of nearly ten billion yen during his work. Recently, he was exposed and was illegally imprisoned by Itō."
Xiao Zheng wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but Sophia beat him to it and sat in the front passenger seat. Xiao Zheng had no choice but to take on the responsibility of driving. On the other hand, Sophia made a phone call as soon as she got in the car and said a lot of nonsense. Xiao Zheng was not in the mood to listen.
"By the way, help me hire a hundred bodyguards," Xiao Zheng said exaggeratedly. "The Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi has hundreds of thousands of members. If I get blocked by them, even if I have a pair of invisible wings, I probably won't be able to fly out of this small place."
"I'm looking forward to it." Itō got up to send him off. He only stopped when they reached the entrance of the villa.
He would not let his subordinates die in vain!
"You seem to have made more than one phone call just now," Xiao Zheng said with a straight face.
Moreover, Itō had already expressed his stance.
Did Xiao Zheng have the face to do so?
"In other words, if Xiao Zheng doesn't agree to cooperate, Mr. Itō will use his own method to solve it?" Does Mr. Ito intend to use his own method to resolve this? "Sofia narrowed her eyes slightly, but the corners of her lips curled into a sneer that was even more resolute than a man's.
