Ilya Levkin is a shareholder of the Zetlov Group and is also a good friend of Alex's father, Nikolai Udinov.
After the accident that happened to Nikolai's family, Levkin had doubts about Smike. After all, Smike, who finally got Zetlov's executive officer, was the biggest beneficiary.
But Nicholas's manor was burned to ruins by fire, and he could not find any evidence to prove this.
Of course he was shocked to hear Alexandra's name now. After all, Levkin had always thought that the child must be dead.
Looking at the Asian man in front of him, the boss of UC Technology, Levkin couldn't imagine why he heard this name in his mouth.
Xu Chuan looked at Smike who was talking in front of him with a smile, and then continued in a low voice to Levkin beside him, "If you are interested in this name, we can make an appointment to discuss it in detail."
Levkin knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he took out a business card and handed it over.
Xu Chuan took it and put it in his pocket. At this time, Smike's speech happened to be at the end. Of course, he followed everyone and started applauding.
Afterwards, the band in the hall started playing, which represented the official start of the dinner, which made people suspect that Xu Chuan did not continue to have contact with Levkin.
He was wandering around the banquet hall with a glass of mineral water, collecting information by the way. Most of the people here were Smike's connections, and they were also the targets that Umbrella needed to attack. Of course, some of them needed to be fought over. This would depend on what happened next.
The circumstances of the meeting between husband and wife.
Although this person is not involved in Zeitloff's daily business, he and his family hold a considerable proportion of the shares. If added to what Alex theoretically owns, it will be a share that can influence the board of directors' decisions.
strength.
Of course, there is another person who is equally important, that is, Alex's mother. This woman holds half of Nicola's inheritance, but she is sleeping on the same bed with Smike, and some things are really hard to talk about.
Therefore, if Xu Chuan does not consider Alex's feelings, he really hopes that this woman will die quickly and does not want to save this trouble at all.
The banquet was still going on. After learning Xu Chuan's identity, some customs officials from the E Kingdom Government began to greet him. They probably thought that there might be some cooperation between Zetlov and UC Technology, otherwise Zetlov had just been arrested because of
After being humiliated about the acquisition, how could I still invite people over?
This kind of meeting between the bosses of a multinational group may even affect the stock prices of both companies in the future. Of course, UC Technology has not yet IPO, so the impact on him will be much smaller.
The people present were not only officials but also businessmen. These people were all talented people. Some people were already asking about the areas in which the two parties would cooperate and were preparing to get a share of the pie in advance.
"I guess everyone is guessing what we are talking about?" Sergey Smike finally greeted all the government officials, and then found Xu Chuan in the corner.
Young Master Xu tried his best to remain unobtrusive, but even if he hid on the edge of the crowd, he still couldn't avoid various interactions with strangers.
The guests at the dinner party were divided into various circles and talked, and now their eyes were vaguely focused on them.
Xu Chuan looked at the joking expression on Smike's face and nodded in agreement, "I regret not letting UC Technology raise funds now, otherwise I should be able to increase my worth by several billion immediately when the market opens tomorrow."
Smike burst out laughing. The other party was right. The news of their meeting after the banquet would be known to the media without waiting until tomorrow. This news would be enough to bring back the stock price fluctuations caused by the failed acquisition during this period, and
It's very possible that you can make a lot of money.
This was enough to soften the board's attitude toward him. Only by appeasing the board could he focus on Gogol's problem. It can be said that Bear Grylls came at the right time.
Xu Chuan also laughed and asked, "Why didn't I see Mr. Taseloff this time?"
Smike's smile stopped abruptly, and he looked at the young man in front of him to confirm whether he was asking about Ali on purpose.
However, this person's expression was normal, his eyes were clear, and he seemed to be really asking sincerely.
Smike did not answer the question, but stretched out his hand and patted Xu Chuan on the shoulder like an elder, "There is a party after the dinner. I hope you can come to it."
"Really? That's great. I like parties the most."
Smike left with satisfaction. Carolina, who was following him, winked at Xu Chuan and stuffed a golden card into his hand.
Seeing them walking to another crowd, Xu Chuan slowly stopped smiling, then raised his hand and dusted the patted shoulder twice, as if there was something dirty.
"Oh, my advantage is not so easy to take advantage of." From Smike's speech just now, he knew the purpose of this guy inviting him here. Xu Chuan thought there was some complicated trap waiting for him before, but he didn't
Thinking that the other party only cares about the fluctuation of stock prices.
"You are being underestimated!" Xu Chuan looked at Sergei Smike who continued to talk and laugh, and then laughed heartily.
He didn't feel that he had lost face. There was nothing in the world that was more valuable than your opponent looking down on you, so Xu Chuan was really happy at this moment.
And this also shows that this guy doesn't know that he has an Umbrella, otherwise he would check everyone for contraband before entering.
If I make a mistake today, the Glock 19 I have on me can put Moscow into a state of emergency.
However, the other party does have the qualifications to look down on him. The scale of Zetlov, a giant, is much larger than that of UC Technology, and its business scope is wider. Not to mention that the current UC Technology even takes Umbrella and other secret assets.
Added together, it may be less than one-fifth of Zetlov's.
Xu Chuan played with the golden card in his hand. The material should be an alloy, and there was nothing on it except a Zetlov logo.
He didn't know how many people Carolina gave this kind of card to, but it was certain that the number of people was very small.
The banquet lasted until about nine o'clock in the evening before the guests dispersed one after another. Xu Chuan was taken to an empty room upstairs by a staff member. "Sir, please wait a moment. We will arrange a car to take you there."
To your destination, of course, you can bring an accompanying person with you.”
After speaking, he thoughtfully handed a mask into his hand, then bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Xu Chuan looked at the Zorro-like mask in his hand, and a question arose in his mind: why do Westerners cover half of their faces, while Chinese do the opposite? Is it really because they have to leave their mouths open for kissing?
?
Well, his brain is going out of control again.
Without letting him wait long, Zetlov's staff came over and took him to the back entrance of the palace. Several cars were parked here, and Curtis also put on a mask and was waiting for him here.
Seeing Xu Chuan come out, Curtis hurriedly greeted him, "Boss, what do they mean?"
Xu Chuan didn't come out after the banquet, which made him nervous for a while, until someone told him to go to the back door.
Xu Chuan shrugged, "What else could it be? It couldn't be taking us to see the night view, right?"
The two of them got into the car. Although it was easy for them to do so, they were already prepared to seize the car and run away at any time.
But what they thought didn't happen. The car drove to a location almost two kilometers away from the palace. There was a wooden house with a faint light on it.
Following the staff into the wooden house, there was no one inside. Xu Chuan almost took out his gun, but the other party led them into a room, where a cabinet opened to the left and right, revealing a passage leading underground.
After looking at each other with Curtis, both of them heightened their vigilance before following the person in.
