Gao Yuan had just sent Hu Yonghua, who was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, out of the living room, when she happened to run into Hu Yifei, who was coming excitedly.
"Huh? Dad, why are you here?"
"You brat! Do I still need to report to you where I am? Okay, I still have things to do. Follow Director Gao and work hard. I'm optimistic about you! Hahaha!"
"Well……"
Looking at Hu Yonghua's left figure with a crooked mouth, Hu Yifei looked at Gao Yuan with a question mark on his forehead.
"Director Gao, what did you talk about with my dad to make him so happy?"
"Nothing, I just asked him to do the company a favor."
"He asked him for help and he was so happy?" Hu Yifei looked puzzled.
"Haha! Then you have to see if this helps a lot..." Gao Yuan smiled meaningfully.
"By the way, you came to see me for something?"
"Oh yes! I almost forgot about this, that... Mr. Yu from Juchang is here..."
…
Across the ocean, CIA headquarters.
Naji Pell looked at the latest information in his hand, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Shit! Where do they have the confidence to refuse us? The person is in our hands now, and we have the final say for how many years he will be imprisoned!
Doesn’t it mean that you are training the other party as your successor? You won’t give in even if you do this?
The last time we did Stone Al, it went very smoothly!"
His deputy said helplessly.
"Director, you have forgotten that the French Minister of Economy at the time was one of our own..."
"You don't need to remind me! If it weren't for us, would he be president now?
There is no country in this world that we cannot handle, let alone any company that we cannot handle!
Juchang will be no exception!”
Director Najib was quite angry.
Yes, the private negotiations with Juchang failed. The other party clearly rejected all their "unequal treaties" and threatened to use legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests...
The opponent's tough attitude was obviously beyond his expectation.
When he thought about it, even if the other party refused to accept his conditions in full, he would at least be cautious and have some concerns.
Unexpectedly, he was so stubborn, and the team of lawyers was already ready to be sent over...
"Uh... Director, after all, Juchang is not Stone Al, and we are no longer in the information-blocked era of 2013. This matter is now making a big fuss on the Internet and has become a global hot spot.
Public opinion is somewhat unfavorable to us, and our business reputation has also been affected. After all...our reasons are really untenable..."
"We have listed so many crimes for her, coupled with our world-renowned long-arm jurisdiction, why is it untenable!" Najib glared at the deputy.
"Ahem! Well... Mr. Director, I just wanted to report to you that after this period of evidence collection, we did not find anything we wanted in the other party's mobile phone and notebook.
In addition, the evidence collection work for several target companies also encountered some troubles and did not go smoothly..."
"Huh? How could this happen? Hadn't it been arranged before? How could something go wrong?" Najib said angrily.
"Director, there is something strange about this matter. During the evidence collection process, we found that the other party seemed to have eliminated some key clues in advance.
Moreover, the electronic products carried by the target person had just been replaced not long ago, and they were blank without any useful content at all.
Even during the interrogation process, the other party was unusually calm and cooperative, without any panic, and all his words and deeds were flawless, as if...as if they had been rehearsed in advance..."
"What?!" Najib was stunned.
"You mean, the other party knew our plan a long time ago, so they made preparations in advance?"
"This... subordinates are not sure, but judging from the series of previous actions, the other party is indeed on guard against us.
Then it is not impossible to make preventive measures especially for certain important executives..."
"How is that possible! Are these guys... so careful?"
Najib looked a little confused.
This time, they conducted a surprise attack without any warning, and even the Chinese Intelligence Bureau was concealed.
Even if the other party notices the clues, is it possible for an ordinary company to be so watertight that even important executives have to start emergency training?
If the other party really has such vigilance... then is it a private enterprise or an intelligence unit?
However, the matter has come to this point, and it is no longer helpful to delve deeper into what went wrong.
Everyone has been arrested, and now he has an arrow on the string and has to shoot...
"Don't we still have the evidence provided by Hong Kong Bank?" Najib asked.
"With only a few emails, it may be difficult to convict the other party.
Although the Maple Leaf Country is our back garden, it is up to us to decide how we want to judge it, but the whole world is watching this matter now, and there is not much room for manipulation..."
The deputy said with a frown.
"Director, you can delay it for a while. The key is that China is putting pressure on the Black Palace.
This time, the opponent's attitude was unusually resolute. He must be well aware of Juchang's strategic influence and showed an attitude of never giving in.
There will be no problem in this short period of time, but as time goes by, the pressure on our side will probably increase..."
When Najib heard this, he felt even more angry.
Why is it so bad lately?
The first thing a new official does when he takes office is that he sets his own house on fire, leaves out important data, and gets scolded.
Now this second fire has just been half burned, and another bucket of cold water has been thrown on it...
Now that things have come to this, we can’t give up halfway now, right?
Can’t even handle a Fortune 500 company…
Do I, the CIA, have no face? How can I, the director of the CIA, be embarrassed?
If this gets out, I will definitely become an international laughing stock.
His face was gloomy, and after pondering for a moment, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Hmph! If we can't get it... then we'll ruin it!
Since they don’t eat and drink as a penalty when toasting, let’s start implementing the second phase of the plan in advance!”
"Ah?" The deputy was surprised when he heard this and said hesitantly.
“But Director, according to the original plan, the second phase should not be officially implemented until next year.
You know, after all, this plan involves an entire industry chain, as well as many countries and well-known companies in the industry chain. Just suppressing the backlash from relevant stakeholders is probably an arduous task.
Director...I'm afraid our current preparations are not sufficient yet."
Najib snorted coldly.
"Stupid! You just said that others are already prepared. When we are fully prepared, do you think the other party will be more prepared?
Whatever means are available at that time, I am afraid the effect will be greatly reduced.
We just don’t want to give each other breathing space now!
Even if they knew that we would deal with them, they would never have thought that we would act so quickly and so cruelly!
Now is the time to compete with each other. If they are tough, we must be tougher, let the other side know how heavy the losses will be if they go against us, and force the other side to surrender to us!"
The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.
"As for the backlash from interested parties... Huh! Fruit, Sanxin, Coutong, Wangjie... and even China's own local comprador companies...
In this world, we are not the only ones who don’t want the other party to be in power!
Otherwise, do you think that just a few words from a few politicians can lead to such a large blockade alliance?
You can rest assured that even if they suffer some losses, they will actively cooperate with us!"
