Twenty minutes later, a lawyer whispered something into his ear.
Elvis opened his eyes abruptly and said angrily, "You want to participate in the financial management and business operations of Citibank and TCP Energy Company? That's wishful thinking."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Mr. Elvis, how many times do I have to say it before you understand that you don't have a choice? If you don't sign it, then our deal is over. Anyway, I've already made a lot of money, haven't I? "
Elvis' expression was extremely ugly. He realized that he had fallen for Xiao Yunhai's trick in his rage.
If he had looked at the contract first and then paid, there might still be room for negotiation.
But now that the money had been paid, even if he refused to sign it, he would not be able to get it back. It was a double loss.
Elvis looked at Xiao Yunhai's smiling face and gritted his teeth in hatred. If he had a knife in his hand, he would definitely make a cut on it.
The two of them stared at each other for a full three minutes. Only then did Elvis pick up the pen and sign the four agreements. With the last stroke, there was a tearing sound as the paper was cut open.
Xiao Yunhai picked up the two contracts and said, "It was a pleasure working with you this time. I look forward to our next cooperation."
Elvis was already fuming, but he still held it in and did not vent it on the spot. He said, "Where's the thing I want?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Anyway, you're very familiar with the territory of the Black Snake Mercenaries. You can just send someone to get it. You'd better hurry, or I'll have to charge you a storage fee. Alright, now that we're done, I don't think you'll treat me to lunch. See you next time. "
With that, Xiao Yunhai left with Christy under the escort of the bodyguards.
Once Xiao Yunhai left, Elvis stood up and flipped the table. Before he could curse, he suddenly felt dizzy. He sat down on the chair and fainted.
The bodyguards were flustered and quickly sent him to the hospital.
Xiao Yunhai came out of the hotel and got into the car. Before he could drive ten kilometers, he received a call from President Lyle.
"Mr. Xiao, since you're in Washington, do you want to visit the White House? Here, steak and coffee are pretty good. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "President Lyle is really well-informed."
Lyle said, "If we don't even know such an important thing, then our intelligence system is too weak. Mr. Xiao, let me tell you something. Mr. Elvis was sent to the hospital five minutes ago. "
Xiao Yunhai stared blankly and said, "This old man's temper is a little too big. It seems like he hasn't trained himself well."
When Lyle heard that, he could not help but laugh out loud. He said, "Mr. Xiao, you're really something. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have to go to the hospital before I could get the signature. "
The two chatted for a while before Xiao Yunhai asked the driver to turn around and head to the White House.
The White House was the place where the President of the United States lived and worked. It was the center of power in the United States. The building area was 70,000 square meters, but it was not luxurious. If it did not represent the United States, no one would be interested in it at all.
After arriving at the White House, Lyle personally showed Xiao Yunhai the library, the map room, the porcelain room, the diplomatic reception hall, and other places. Then, he had lunch with his wife at his place of residence.
This kind of treatment could be said to be quite good.
After lunch, Xiao Yunhai went to Lyle's office.
"Mr. Xiao, this is what you wanted." Lyle picked up a file from the table and handed it to Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai opened it and took a look. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. President."
Lyle waved his hand and said, "There's also Chief Judge Simon. He's the one you should thank the most."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'll give him a call when I get back."
It turned out that what Lyle gave him was the license to set up a security company with the right to use special weapons that Apollo Anderson wanted for 300 billion US dollars.
After the two chatted for a while, Lyle said, "Mr. Xiao, I haven't thanked you for giving the Bessey family a way out. You're actually giving me a way out by doing this. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Mr. President, are the Bessey family and the Anderson family so powerful that even you and Chief Judge Simon can't control them?"
Lyle nodded and smiled bitterly. "For more than a hundred years, the election of the President of the United States was under their control. Either the Besseys won, or the Andersons won. After the President took office, he naturally spared no effort to help them develop. Even if he was unwilling, he had to place their people in important positions in the government and the military. Over time, their power grew, and the President of the United States' power became smaller and smaller. Even if he wanted to suppress them, he was already powerless. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Raising a tiger is inviting calamity. Mr. Lyle, what do you plan to do? Let them continue to wreak havoc in the United States? If this continues, I'm afraid that in less than twenty years, the United States won't need a President anymore. "
Lyle's expression showed a trace of disappointment. He said, "I don't want to continue like this, but what can I do?"
Xiao Yunhai looked at Lyle's expression and suddenly laughed. He said, "Mr. Lyle, you don't have to act. I'm a director, and I still have a good eye for people. You're someone who wants to do great things, how can you let the United States be manipulated by them? "
Lyle couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Mr. Xiao, I want to thank you for thinking so highly of me."
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's not that I think highly of you. Any politician who wanted to make a difference would not allow such a thing to happen. Mr. Lyle, you've been working hard for the position of President for decades. If you don't do something that will go down in history, it would be a waste of your years of perseverance. "
When he heard Xiao Yunhai's words, Lyle's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the person who understood his political ambitions the most would be this young man.
"Mr. Xiao, you're right. I don't want this to continue. The United States belongs to the Americans, not the two families. It's just that I can't do anything about it. "
Xiao Yunhai looked at him deeply and said, "Mr. Lyle, let's get to the point. You invited me here this time to deal with the Bessie family and the Anderson family, right? Chief Judge Simon should be involved in this, right? "
Lyle said in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, it's a pity that you're not in politics. You're right, we do want to do this. At the very least, we have to control their power and not let them do whatever they want. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "But what can a businessman like me help you with?"
Lyle said, "I've discussed it with Chief Judge Simon. Confronting them head-on is tantamount to throwing an egg at a rock. Fortunately, the two families aren't on the same side. In most of their business dealings, there's competition and hostility, especially in the arms industry. Our intention is to find a way to provoke a fight between them and let them have internal friction. Politically, we'll find a way. Financially, the only one who can get in between them is you. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Why me? I want to hear the truth. "
Lyle didn't even think about it and replied, "Because you're from Hua Xia."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "The two of you really know how to pick people. That's right, I'll always be an outsider to the United States. What benefits can an outsider like me get? I can't work for free, right? "
Lyle smiled and said, "If you can get rid of the two families, other than the arms industry, you can take over their businesses. At the same time, as long as Chief Judge Simon and I are still in our positions, the government and the law will definitely help you. Just like this security company, you said 3,000 people, but the maximum we can give you is 30,000. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Your conditions are too attractive. The Bessie family and I are like fire and water now. Either they die, or I die. I have no reason not to agree. "
Lyle smiled and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Since they want to cause trouble, of course I'll give them a chance. Sigh, I can only reluctantly part with them. I plan to give some of the Citibank and TCP Energy shares I just got to the Anderson family and let them become the shareholders of the two core businesses of the Bessie family. I think they're more experienced than I am when it comes to sabotaging. When the time comes, I won't care anymore and let them do whatever they want. "
Lyle clapped and laughed. "Looks like we didn't choose the wrong person to work with."
Xiao Yunhai said, "You can think of it as me being afraid of trouble. You know, with the Anderson family joining us, no matter what the Bessie family does, I won't be at a disadvantage. "
Lyle laughed and said, "That's true."
The two chatted for a while more before Xiao Yunhai left.
