Seeing that David Steer was still blabbering on, Xiao Yunhai interrupted him directly. "Mr. Steer, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. You know, my gaming company has some problems that need to be dealt with. "
David Steer wasn't angry at being interrupted at all. Smiling, he said, "Mr. Xiao, please go ahead."
His tone was rather smug, because to him, he was the winner today.
Xiao Yunhai took a deep look at him, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
Just as he was about to get into the car, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Mr. Xiao, can I treat you to a cup of coffee?" Vanessa Bessie stood there, smiling sweetly. Beside her were two tall and mighty bodyguards.
Xiao Yunhai wanted to know what this young lady of the Bessie family wanted. He said, "A date with a beauty. Of course, I'm more than happy to."
Vanessa Bessie smiled. "Aren't you afraid that Miss Zhao will find out? I heard that you're the world's most famous henpecked husband. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed loudly. "She's not that petty. Miss Bessie, if you don't mind, please get into my car. "
Vanessa Bessie nodded and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Yunhai drove Vanessa Bessie to a famous Italian café in Los Angeles. The two bodyguards followed closely behind them.
After Vanessa Bessie got out of the car, she said to the two, "You guys go ahead. I have something to talk to Mr. Xiao. It'll probably take half an hour."
One of the bodyguards frowned and said, "Miss, according to Mr. Bessie's instructions, we need 24 hours …"
Vanessa Bessie waved her hand and said, "With Mr. Xiao around, who do you think can hurt me? Go, come pick me up in half an hour. "
The two went to the window on the second floor of the café and ordered two cups of the best coffee. Xiao Yunhai glanced at the bodyguards who hadn't left at all. He smiled and said, "They're quite responsible. Why? Does Miss Bessie often get into danger? "
Vanessa Bessie sighed and said, "Not in the past, but I don't dare say it now. I've worked at Citibank for three years, and the sector I'm in charge of is growing at a rate of 30% every year. I've successfully entered the list of candidates for the family's position. There are five other people who are equally qualified as me. One can imagine how intense the competition is. Two years ago, a candidate from the Bessie family fell off the mountain while racing with someone. That's why we're all very concerned about our own safety, lest we get assassinated. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Your words sound like something I've read in a novel."
Vanessa Bessie said solemnly, "Reality is much more serious and cruel than novels. This is the tragedy of a big family. While we gained wealth and power, we also lost a lot of things. Mr Xiao, I really envy you. Although he's worth billions, he has a lot of freedom. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I envy you guys. He didn't need to do anything, and he could live a life of luxury. To be honest, if I were born in a family like yours, I'd definitely be a qualified second-generation heir. I definitely wouldn't work as hard as you do. Life is only a few decades. Even if you become the boss, so what? It'd be great to live a carefree life. "
Vanessa Bessie shook her head and said, "This is the difference in values between people."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Miss Bessie, may I know why you're looking for me this time?"
Vanessa Bessie said, "Mr Xiao, I know that you bought the shares of Steyr Networks to chase David Steyr away and become the CEO. Now that I'm here, I'm afraid your plan can't be realized. "
Xiao Yunhai immediately understood what she wanted to do. He said, "So you want to buy my shares and help me finish what I couldn't, right?"
Vanessa Bessie nodded and said, "That's right. Mr Xiao, your company and Steyr Networks overlap in many areas. They're even competitors. Since you can't be the CEO of Steyr Networks, you can't merge them together. You might as well give up on the next one. "
Xiao Yunhai saw that Vanessa Bessie's eyes lit up when she talked about business. She was very smart and capable. He sighed and said, "David Steyr is really asking for trouble. He shouldn't have given you this opportunity to get financing. "
Vanessa Bessie said, "He had no choice. Citibank gave him a personal loan of 200 billion USD at low interest rates to repay Mark Benton's investment. Otherwise, he would have been sued by Mr. Benton's family immediately. So, he had no choice but to ask the bank for help. That's why I have the opportunity to become a shareholder of Steyr Networks. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I was still wondering why someone as smart as David Steyr would let you in. So that's how it is. Haha, impressive. You're indeed impressive. "
Vanessa Bessie smiled and said, "I'm not as impressive as you think. It's just the situation."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about David Steyr. Obviously, he had already predicted everyone's reaction. That's why he was so confident in inviting you in. He knew that even if I wanted to sell my shares, I would never sell them to you. “
Vanessa Bessie's expression changed. She asked, "Why?"
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said, "Because I definitely don't want Steyr Networks to fall into the hands of your Bessie family. You're too powerful. So powerful that Mr. Steyr and I are afraid. Like you said, we have too many overlapping businesses. Once you, Miss Bessie, are given a platform to compete with me, with your family's background, I won't have a foothold in Europe and America. Mr. Steyr knows this very well. That's why he's not worried that I'll work with you. "
At this point, even Xiao Yunhai couldn't help but admire David Steyr's ability to keep his balance.
It wasn't that he didn't know Vanessa Bessie's motive, but he still dared to use her. This showed how bold he was.
It was no wonder that he could develop Steyr Networks to what it was today. The only reason he could beat him was because he had more knowledge from his previous life.
In terms of tactics, there was still a huge gap between him and David.
Vanessa Bessie heard Xiao Yunhai's words and frowned slightly. She said, "Mr. Xiao, since you've already guessed his intention, will you let Mr. Steyr succeed?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "I'm sorry, Miss Bessie. You might be disappointed. David Steyr's company and the Bessie family's company are clearly a threat to me. "
Vanessa Bessie said anxiously, "I'm willing to buy your shares at a premium of 50%. You'll also gain the friendship of the Bessie family."
She came to Steyr Networks to take it down and show her talent to her family. Xiao Yunhai's shares were the most crucial point. If he wasn't willing to sell, then all her plans wouldn't be able to be carried out. It would be a fool's dream to chase David Steyr out.
Xiao Yunhai said, "We'll already be competitors by then. There's no friendship. I apologize again. Even if it's double the price, I won't sell it to you. This afternoon's coffee is on me. "
With that, Xiao Yunhai didn't care about Vanessa Bessie's ugly expression. He got up, paid at the counter, and drove away.
Steyr Networks
David Steyr looked at the cars coming and going outside the window. His face was expressionless.
When Xiao Yunhai left with Vanessa Bessie, he knew clearly that his guess was right. The Bessie family's eldest daughter came for his company.
Although he was very confident that Xiao Yunhai wouldn't sell his shares to her, if that guy lost his mind and sold them, then he would be in danger of being replaced by Vanessa Bessie.
Therefore, although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil. He was like a gambler waiting for his last card.
His phone rang. David Steyr took a deep breath. The caller ID was Xiao Yunhai's number.
"Mr. Xiao, what's the matter?" David Steyr asked calmly.
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Mr. Steyr, there's a person in Hua Xia called Zhuge Liang. He's always been good at foreseeing the enemy's moves. How do you think you compare to him?"
David Steyr said calmly, "I don't think I have that ability."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "You're too humble. You do. You dared to pull the Bessie family into this. You really played a good move. Unfortunately, you miscalculated one thing. I, Xiao Yunhai, am not afraid of challenges, even if the other party is a core member of the Bessie family. And Vanessa Bessie is very persistent in wanting your company. She's actually willing to raise the price by 80%. Haha, so you've completely lost. Congratulations, you can rest now. "
After that, without waiting for David Steyr's response, Xiao Yunhai hung up the phone. He thought to himself, Old man, I'll give you a good scare.
This time, David Steyr was really scared. His face turned pale, and he didn't even realize that his phone had fallen to the ground.
"It's over. I miscalculated. Xiao Yunhai became the richest man in the world at such a young age. He's so arrogant and looks down on everyone. Even if he knows that the Bessie family is powerful, why would he compromise?"
David Steyr sat down in his chair and felt that the sky was falling.
Just then, the phone on the ground rang again.
David Stel turned a deaf ear to it as though he had lost consciousness. Only after it rang three times did he pick up the phone and answer it.
"Mr. Steyr, Mr. Xiao just met with Miss Bessie. After less than ten minutes, Mr. Xiao came out, and Miss Bessie came out five minutes later. She didn't look good. "
David Steyr was stunned when he heard the private detective's words. Then, he was overjoyed and laughed. "Very good, I got it. I'll pay you double the price I promised you."
David Steyr put down the phone and scolded, "Kungfu Xiao, you bastard. How dare you lie to me."
Although he was scolding, he was overjoyed.
The thing he was most worried about didn't happen. It was the best thing for him.
He won the bet this time.
