Is it a lot of $540 million? Nonsense, of course it's a lot.
But now there is a problem, it is that it has a half-cent relationship with UC Technology. Master Xu said, as a Chinese, why should I donate to the American Lutheran Foundation? Do you think I look like a sucker?
However, before it was time to show off with these guys, he always felt that what these people did was not that simple, just like this one with zero and total money. This guy who gave him the name of Marshal Xin Kou didn't seem to care so much, and he didn't even mention the time limit.
Xu Chuan now needs to send some information outside to verify his guesses.
Is it simple? It's simple and simple, assuming that bastard Curtis did not escape from the Staples Center and could still pay attention to his situation here.
Now all the hostages were sitting on the ground, Xu Chuan's left hand was holding Xuela's shoulder. The woman seemed very comfortable leaning against her. Xu Chuan felt that she was about to fall asleep.
His right hand was always on his knee, and his index finger tapped gently rhythmically. This was a communication method within Umbrella that was similar to Moss' password. He was not worried that anyone could understand it because he had his own coding rules.
He had repeated what he wanted to say twice, and if Curtis was here, he should have received it.
Xu Chuan's request was very simple. He asked the other party to contact UC Technology's management in Los Angeles and issued a statement before several other companies make a decision.
He wants to see how the self-proclaimed Marshal Xin Kou will react after this statement, or he wants to see if this is Marshal Xin Kou.
Then he turned his attention to one of the robbers. Although this man had never spoken, he was obviously a woman in terms of height, body shape and movement habits.
Of course, she covered her face and wore loose clothes, and Xu Chuan could not appreciate the other person's appearance and figure. What he was curious about was a bracelet on her hand. If he read it correctly, this bracelet with not very conspicuous shape was expensive.
How could he know this? Because Xu Ziwen had a similar one, which was the 18th birthday gift that Zhang Qi gave her two years ago, and a total of seven-digit soft girl coins.
This thing should not appear in the hands of a robber, whether it was robbed or another Patty Hurst.
...
LAPD Director Plank and the mayor of Los Angeles are discussing the conditions for the robbers with the CEOs of several companies. He means delaying time or pretending to agree to the other party's request. Since the offer is made, of course you can bargain, which can give LAPD some time.
However, these capitalists did not think so. The president of Dewitt Investment is on vacation in Australia. He told Plank about his thoughts in the form of video conferencing. "Sorry, although Pitt's incident is very regrettable, we all know that such precedent cannot be opened."
If they compromise now, they will threaten them with their employees in the future, and will they still make money?
Plank has two big heads, and these cold-blooded guys don’t even intend to post a delay statement, but he has no choice at all. These companies are not only big taxpayers, but also donors to the Los Angeles Police Department. Without their support, LAPD’s budget will be a problem next year.
He looked at the representatives of the five companies in front of him and decided to ask Robert to try to contact the robbers again, "Wait, why are there five, it should be six."
Where did the representatives of UC Technology go?
Just when he let go of his doubts and was about to meet the NBA league president representative and the managers of two teams, UC Technology held a separate press conference.
Philip Koso, the director of the Los Angeles branch of UC Technology, saw the big boss trapped on the stadium on TV and almost rushed back to the company. He knew very well that there would be instructions from the headquarters.
Sure enough, after meeting with the senior executives of the Zhengye Mansion of Los Angeles on behalf of UC Technology, he received another instruction from the headquarters to hold a separate press conference. The public relations department arranged it very quickly and almost contacted all the media in less than half an hour.
However, Philip looked at the manuscript in his hand and looked excited but feeling constipated. Who wrote the speech?
The place where they held a press conference was chosen outside the blockade line of Staples Center. Major media had prepared long guns and short cannons. They all knew the requests made by the robbers and were all curious about the attitudes of various companies.
UC Technology was the first to issue a statement that they did not expect, and a group of reporters were rushing to ask various questions.
Philip waved his hand and calmed everyone down, "I will issue a statement on behalf of the head office. If you have any questions, you can ask later."
He took the speech, licked his lips first and then began to say, "On behalf of the current CEO of UC Technology, Ms. Xue, I would like to make this statement. As a multinational company headquartered in China for less than a year, I really didn't expect that America, the most developed country in the world, would have poverty alleviation. This is indeed our negligence."
"As we all know, UC Technology is a people-oriented enterprise. In our opinion, the lives and safety of more than 80 hostages are as important as the chairman of UC Technology. We hereby declare that if several other companies do not intend to pay, UC Technology can bear all of these 540 million yuan, of course, the premise is to ensure the safety of everyone, not just the employees of several companies."
Philip paused for a moment, and asked someone to maintain order on the scene, and then continued to recite, "Not only that, we will spend another 540 million to set up our own foundation in China, and at the same time, the poverty alleviation work in the United States will also be put on the agenda."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The last few sentences were read out by him gritting his teeth. There is no way for him to eat this bowl of rice.
Once this statement was released, it was like it was on a calm water surface. Uh, it seemed that it wasn't right. It was like a bomb dropped in the whirlpool, which instantly caused representatives of several other companies to scold the streets.
What does UC technology mean when we agree to advance and retreat together?
Philip said that you are only employees who are tied up, and ours is the big boss, which is incomparable.
The video posted online has caused heated discussions among the American people, or they have broken their defenses.
"When do we need Chinese people to save them?"
Some people even pointed their finger at other companies, thinking that UC Technology issued this statement because these people have discussed the results and these capitalists will not spend money to save people.
For a time, the gates of several companies were surrounded by countless people, holding up slogans and shouting slogans.
When the news came back to China, a group of fun people on the Internet were almost crazy.
"I really didn't expect that America would actually have poverty alleviation. Sorry, why do I feel that this sarcastic tone is in the same place as the great god?"
"No matter what, I'll change my phone before the Chinese New Year."
"But, have you discovered a rule? Before the last time the master of Grammys encountered a kidnapping case. This time the same is true, Grammys will not be in conflict with him, right?"
"Damn it, you don't feel anything if you don't say it. Just count how many things he has encountered. Don't be possessed by a decay."
"Damn, you might be the truth."
Later, someone listed various emergencies that Xu Chuan had encountered, and basically confirmed this statement.
...
The direction of things did not develop according to the script of Marshal Xin Kou at all. When he sat behind the technical desk and looked up at the news played on the only two large screens left in the air, he really wanted to scold him.
They do not care whether these companies will really donate their money, or that if capitalists donate, they can make what they are doing now legitimate. At least among the lower class people, SAL can get a lot of support and is also an opportunity to establish an image.
However, this statement from UC Technology made their plan ruined, not only did it ruin it, but also diverted the public's attention. Now they are just kidnappers, but it is UC Technology that builds its image.
Some people even talked about whether they were spies sent by China, otherwise how could they have thought of asking a Chinese to donate to the American Poverty Alleviation Foundation?
Of course, most of these are the ones who are on Twitter who are leading the rhythm, and they want to make most of them pay attention to the identity of Xuchuan and Chinese.
Those accounts that said SAL good things on Twitter were directly blocked. This so-called Marshal Xin Kou wanted to establish an image in the hearts of the lower class people, and was destined to be unable to stand up.
Xu Chuan has been observing the behavior of this bald black man. This guy seems a little irritable now. He has been secretly checking his phone, as if he is waiting for someone's news.
Xu Chuan continued to tap his finger and sent the message. This news also shows that Curtis is indeed still in the stadium. It's very good that this grandson was exempted from being fired.
Curtis, hiding in the private room, was still contacting the headquarters, "The boss is sending a message again, but I'm in trouble now, the phone is almost out of power."
Burkhoff is giving him technical support, "Hey, man, don't worry, give me two more minutes and I will be able to take over Staples' central server soon, and you won't need to translate those codes at that time."
"You'd better get faster." Curtis looked at the battery that had dropped below 5% and was very troubled. He didn't dare to leave at all, worried about missing the message sent by Xu Chuan, and there was no charger in the room.
"He was saying, check who the black man was in contact and try to confirm the other person's location."
Burkhoff replied opposite, "No one in the Staples Center can use the phone, I will check the nearby base station."
"Then how do you determine this guy's phone number?"
"Don't worry, it's really easy." Burkhoff was full of confidence. "Hey, man, please don't question the Night Walker, I'm a god on the Internet."
"Okay, dear god, please hurry up. I really need to find a charger to charge now." Before I finished speaking, Curtis' phone turned off decisively.
Berkhof, who is far away in Morocco, finally broke through the firewall of Staples Center, "Okay, now is the time for SHOW TIME."
Umbrella's network department has long bid farewell to the era when only Burkhoff plus a notebook. They are now a team of hundreds of people.
Of course, it is impossible for these people to get together. They usually work in various branches of UC Technology to handle some technical work.
This time, there was only one small team of more than a dozen people. After taking over the network system of the Staples Center, each of them performed their own duties. Some controlled the monitoring system, some set up springboards, and some were erasing their traces.
"I saw the boss." After taking over the monitoring, one of the personnel saw Master Xu sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Burkhoff walked over and took a look, "Set the picture into AI, and she can translate it herself."
Umbrella's artificial intelligence is much more convenient to use than Curtis.
"Everyone checked the surveillance and found all the robbers. They must be more than five of them." Burkhoff commanded his men, which was similar to the work he had done in the organization before.
On the other hand, Smith is trying to mobilize people and passively waiting for the police or the FBI's actions is not their style.
But the trouble is that Nikita and Michael went to Baiya, Swag and Parker also supported him, and now there are no people available near Los Angeles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Williams and Sanborn are both on the East Coast, and Smith has asked them to catch the earliest plane to Los Angeles. I wonder if they can catch up.
Smith can only contact his cousin, Brian Mills.
Brian was also very anxious. Although Xuela did not allow them to protect her intimately during this event, as his big client, if something happened, it would be a serious blow to his retirement career.
Therefore, he and his companions were also paying attention to Staplesri's situation. It was easy to reach an agreement with Smith. If the other party needs personnel, he could help.
In the Staples Center, Xu Chuan watched Marshal Xin Kou walk into the corner, as if he was following the phone call. He would definitely not hear what he said, but seeing this guy's expression nodded and danced, it seemed that the other party's level was higher than him.
So who would be the marshal like this, the head of state?
Just knowing that there was something wrong with these people, Xu Chuan continued to send messages. He was almost sure that there was a manipulator behind these people, maybe that was the real Xin Kou.
That guy made such a big noise, definitely not to tell everyone that they wanted to eliminate the bourgeoisie and attract all the attention of LAPD here. What is their real goal? This is the real problem.
Xu Chuan thought a lot, such as the Los Angeles branch of the United Reserve Bank, and the banks that are easily targeted by robbers.
But if he could guess such a thing, that would be a real ghost.
And it's still early to say this now. Even if you want to be a yellow bird, you don't have any cards to play in your hands. I can only hope that Smith can make arrangements.
After answering the phone, the black man seemed to have received new instructions. He walked to all the hostages and continued his performance.
"It's almost time, we can start the next phase of the trial."
Two kidnappers dragged a black man in formal clothes out of the crowd. He was tied with his hands behind his back, just like the MP who died before.
Chapter completed!
