Chapter six hundred and second bargaining chip
Chapter 602
"Incompetent!" Elizabeth frowned and cursed unhappily while hanging up the phone. The news from North America made her very angry. Catherine, an outsider, suddenly escaped and did not intercept it in time. This is understandable, because in North America, it emphasizes personal freedom. If there is no special order, even the core subordinates of the Taylor family will not be able to strictly control their personal health.
But when people run away, there are always traces left? If these are not found, then Elizabeth will not be angry. The reason is very simple. If Catherine left some countermeasures, then the target is definitely not the one who encouraged her to escape, but the backup plan left for herself. In other words, these methods should be more tolerant to her side. How come there are no clues now?
In fact, Elizabeth Taylor could probably guess what Catherine discovered and then escaped. After all, Catherine's mission, using remote networks to monitor the relationship between Zhu Sha and Li Hai, was issued by her personally, and did not pass the internal procedures of the family. Of course, this also led to the current difficulty in tracing the situation to some extent, but Elizabeth absolutely does not admit this.
Yesterday at the beginning of the negotiations with Li Hai, she suddenly proposed a marriage proposal. The original intention was to test Li Hai's attitude towards her side, and whether Catherine was turned against by Li Hai. The result of the test made Elizabeth a little frustrated. Obviously Li Hai still did not waver. The previous pressure did not play the expected role, including the complete withdrawal of Europeans! This oriental boy not only has strong skills, but also has a tough personality. He is still full of confidence in the power he has.
Otherwise, no matter whether you are willing to accept marriage or not, normal people always have to hesitate and consider this kind of suggestion? But Li Hai did not hesitate at the time, just as this suggestion itself was not worth considering at all and had no value at all! Although Elizabeth was not an ordinary person, she was also a little annoyed by being looked down upon by others.
If Catherine was indeed instigated by Li Hai, and Li Hai already knew that he had sent someone to secretly monitor him, trying to find evidence of his bad behavior to damage his reputation, Li Hai would have a considerable hostility towards him, which would be reasonable.
Elizabeth choked her hands into her hair in distress and lay on the table without any image. This time, the adjustment of Li Hai's strategy was made by her. After returning to China, the Taylor family reassessed the changes in the situation and their future development direction. As a result, they determined that under the premise that European and Eastern powers began to approach, this market had begun to open to foreign capital, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the market!
Although, from the perspective of national strategy, North America and the Eastern Powers are still opposite, this does not prevent them from making a fortune! Over the years, the Eastern Powers have always been North America's most important trading partners, right? Moreover, the capitalist's personal gain has always been for sale as long as there is enough profit, even the noose that hangs itself.
After a brief discussion, the decision-making team of the Taylor family made a bold decision: to do their best to replace the cooperative position of the Cross Sword Alliance and the Zhijiang Development Foundation! Because according to the existing information, including information from senior leaders of the Eastern Powers, in this strategic cooperation between Europe and the Eastern Powers, the Zhijiang Foundation cut a considerable piece of cake, which was supported and protected by the senior national leaders.
More importantly, the Zhijiang Foundation has a very special nature. Although it belongs to the state, its leader Li Hai is quite strong, and it is rarely disturbed by other forces during its rise, which means that it has a high independence! In other words, in the economic field, the stability of this foundation is far higher than that of other state-owned entities. This is what the Taylor family values most.
As for the secret role that Zhijiang Foundation may assume, it is not a big problem in the Taylor family. Everyone is a businessman, and the system is actually similar. Those who engage in secret operations are all money-burning roles, and they all need continuous blood transfusions. Therefore, the economic entities that are placed on the surface of these secret organizations do not have the idea of whether to devote themselves to the national strategy.
After proceeding step by step, it was finally time to negotiate with Li Hai and Zhijiang Foundation, but Elizabeth suddenly realized that she had no means to deal with Li Hai! She originally thought that under her multi-party offensive, Li Hai was already smoking everywhere, and would hold on to the olive branch she extended as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. However, she didn't expect that Li Hai was still firm and even disdainful of her friendship suggestions!
"Is this bastard really a stern heart?" Elizabeth pounded the table hard, and the ruthlessness of the "Queen" in the killer world was fully revealed. If she hadn't seen Li Hai's murderous scene with her own eyes and still had lingering fears, she would really want to play some tricks and kill Li Hai directly, how easy would it be?
The problem is that Li Hai's skills, from the information collected from all aspects, are almost beyond the scope of human beings! Using violent means obviously has no effect on him. Behind him is the support of local provincial officials, the local officialdom will not give him much help. His organization has a deep foundation and wide influence in the local area. Such organizations cannot be eradicated at all. If the economic suppression is excessive, there will be a big trouble in the local area. At that time, the local officials who have been bribed by him will oppose them.
After thinking about it, Elizabeth actually found that there was no good way to deal with Li Hai! Of course, he proposed cooperation negotiation step by step, invested funds and advanced technology, and was confident that he would negotiate the cooperation, but in that case, the benefits would be relatively reduced. If he wanted to recover the cost and make up for the compensation for the Cross Sword Alliance, he didn't know how long it would take!
Finally, Elizabeth came to a conclusion that made her smile only: if she could find Dr. Catherine's countermeasures, obtain evidence that Li Hai is not glorious and unfair, and disrupt his position, it might really help her current situation! This is indeed contrary to common sense, because it involves a cooperation plan of tens of billions of meters, and the individual is simply insignificant. If it doesn't work, just replace someone? However, most of the power and stability of the Zhijiang Technology Foundation are from Li Hai personally, so this abnormal situation occurs.
However, it is not easy to find Catherine in their nest under the protection of such a large organization? Elizabeth had no confidence when he thought about it. If their Taylor family wanted to hide someone from the nest, it would be difficult to find even if they used the most powerful national power in the world!
Despite such distress, Elizabeth still knew very well that she could only use calmness to control her cooperation suggestions to Li Hai. If she was anxious to have any results, she would put herself in a passive state. She could only wait for Li Hai's reply!
She stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the beautiful city under her feet. This was the one-story office building she ordered her men to rent. The Tajia Foundation had already put on a protracted battle. Of course, she could not stay in such a small villa every day. And this floor could just look at the building of the Zhijiang Foundation from a certain angle! Elizabeth's eyes were unconsciously staring at a certain floor, and she didn't know what Li Hai was doing at this time? She could not monitor the building, which had very strict security measures and there might be another world underground. The Tajia organization would make a big fuss if it was on someone's territory.
While she was ecstatic, her private phone suddenly rang. Elizabeth picked it up and saw it, but it was a strange number. She was a little curious. Who called it? Logically speaking, those who knew her phone were registered numbers, and few strangers called it.
So she answered it. When she first heard the sound from the opposite side, her heart accelerated. This was exactly the phone call she was waiting anxiously from Li Hai!
"Miss Taylor, I have some private matters, I want to have fun with you." Li Hai was not polite when talking to Elizabeth Taylor. This was the woman who almost died under her command. Now she is back to make trouble with her. What's the point of being polite: "I have a friend from abroad who wants to open a psychological clinic locally, but her original employer seems to be difficult to talk. Can you help me?"
Psychological Clinic? Taylor raised his eyebrows and felt a little angry. Even if he was playing tricks first, Li Hai's attitude would not take him seriously! But Elizabeth also knew that he should not have a quarrel with Li Hai now. Perhaps the biggest mistake she made was to pay the price early and force the Europeans to withdraw from the cooperation negotiations, and also put her on a heavy burden. She could not bear the consequences of the failure of the negotiations with Li Hai! In that case, Li Hai might have nothing, but it would not be hurt. But for Taylor, those promised to the Cross Sword Alliance should still be handed over. Isn't this a waste?
So, she could only calm down: "Psychological clinic? It's a good choice. I see that many people in this city don't realize that they need services in this area! So, if I help you, what reward can you give me?" One of the principles of spies is to try to trade when they can trade. Violent actions are the last resort! Because technology and organization have developed to the present, spy operations have become more and more complicated, like the kind in movies, where a small team goes deep into the tiger's den and makes a huge upside down scene, which is just a joke for real spies.
Since Catherine has fallen into Li Hai, Elizabeth can only trade with Li Hai except to send her subordinates to search for countermeasures that she may have left behind. Fortunately, he is still interested in trading! At this time, Elizabeth is grateful again. If it weren't for the fact that he had set up the chess piece of Catherine, he would probably not even have the bargaining chips to trade now? In this sense, Catherine fell into Li Hai's hands, in fact, the losses to her might not have been very large.
Li Hai also knew this, but who made him need Katherine's psychological counseling and cooperation? "Ms. Taylor, we can negotiate cooperation, and of course the specific content requires further negotiation. In addition, I can hand over the secret line around Cheng Qian to you."
Putting down the phone, Li Hai gently tapped a photo with his finger. On it, there was a scene where Wang Feng and Cheng Qian raised their glasses and had fun together! Chapter 602 End
