Chapter 322 He is under my care! (seeking subscription)
On this day, Li Xiao was reading the current affairs news in the newspaper in the living room. From a distance, he heard the humming engines of several cars.
"Sir, people from the DuPont Consortium and First Citigroup are here." At this time, the servant who was serving came to report in a little panic.
"DuPont and No. [-] Citigroup? I haven't settled with them yet, but they came here by themselves. Let them come closer!" Li Xiao couldn't help squinting his eyes when he heard this, and looked away from the post in his hand.
Not long after, two people walked into the living room. They were DuPont and Stillman, the speakers of the two major consortiums, DuPont and First Citigroup.
One of these two people is fat and fat, and the other is tall and thin. Standing together with completely different body shapes, they also form a very sharp contrast with each other.
Although he had been informed by the servants a long time ago, Li Xiao had no intention of welcoming them. He didn't put down the newspaper he was reading, raised his eyelids, and glanced lightly at the group of people who walked into the room. Glancing at the two of them, they looked very contemptuous.
"Oh, Mr. Li, oh my god, I saw you on the movie screen a few days ago with a majestic image of you defeating monsters, and today I finally got to see you in real life. Is there anything luckier than this?" Si Tillman grinned and laughed, while extending his hand enthusiastically to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao ignored it, and pointed at the sofa next to the two of them, then bypassed Stillman who was frozen there, and settled down on the main seat of the sofa with a relaxed expression.
Stillman's hand was stuck there, he couldn't lift it or let it go, looking very embarrassed.
However, after decades of rolling in the business circle, he has also cultivated his deep city skills. The gloomy look in his eyes flashed away, and then, Stillman continued to maintain the hypocritical smile on his face After looking at each other with DuPont, they sat down on the sofa seats on both sides of the main seat.
"It's very rare for the speakers of the two families to come to the door together. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. If you have anything to do, just talk straight to the point." Li Xiaoru said authentically.
……
……
"Mr. Li is really a straightforward person. Presumably you should have learned from Scott about what happened before. This is indeed what we did, and we cannot deny it. But you should also know that the reason why we dared to In spite of the world's disgrace, Scott was kidnapped because of the backing of the forces behind it. It can be said that nine of the top ten consortiums intend to join forces and want to kick Rothschild out of the United States. It’s just for the purpose of execution, and we’re only targeting Scott, and we dare not show any disrespect to Mr. Li!” Scott’s eyes narrowed to two crescent moons, and he narrated the matter, and at the same time He also paid attention to the expression on Li Xiao's face, hoping to judge the other party's thoughts from his demeanor.
But soon he found that it was futile.
Li Xiao's expression was like the water in the ancient well, calm and composed, without any waves.
"And then?" Li Xiao tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, raised his eyebrows,
Stillman couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, but he actually had a purpose for saying such words.Firstly, he wanted to tell Li Xiao that he and others did not have any malicious intentions.The second is to move out the top ten consortiums behind him, hoping to let Li Xiao know his purpose, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so that the next conversation can begin.
But whether it's the two of them, or the top ten consortiums, they seem to be as light as a feather in front of Li Xiao, insignificant, let alone sweeping a stormy sea in his heart.
"Then, we want to cooperate with Mr. Li to discover the secret of the elixir of life together. In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to pay more than Scott."
But Du Pont, who was obviously much rougher in mind, didn't realize it, fiddled with his brown mustache, and talked freely, with a feeling of being rich and powerful.
I saw him stroking his palms, and two attendants walked in outside the door. They were carrying two large black suitcases in their hands. From their struggling expressions, it could be seen that they were heavy.
Under DuPont's signal, they put the two heavy boxes on the coffee table. After opening the zipper, it can be seen that one of the boxes is full of golden gold, while the other box is neatly packed. Qi's beautiful knives are piled up together, real gold and silver, priceless.
The properties here are at least tens of millions of yuan. Even for the two major financial groups, under the background of the Great Depression, it is quite a big deal to be able to pay such an amount. .
"This is a gold stake in advance. After the elixir of life is truly refined, we will pay double the money. Besides, there are nine consortiums to provide convenience for you. I think Mr. Li should have no reason to do so. Refuse such cooperation." DuPont chuckled, and the fat on his face was trembling.
Ever since Scott revealed the secret of the elixir, DuPont and Stillman have been dreaming of it day and night.
Although after the Triumph returned from the ocean expedition, Scott ordered all the entourage to sign a confidentiality agreement, so that they could not disclose the location of the island, and they had to keep their mouths shut.
But DuPont, Stillman, and even the nine consortiums behind them are so powerful. As long as they are willing, they can easily control the US presidential election, and even influence the US and the world. Even if the economic trend is to destroy some poor and remote small countries, it is easy and effortless.
After using some methods, they also learned the exact location of the Skull Island, so they transferred two giant ships with confidence, and also deployed many professional nautical explorers to go to the other side of the ocean, but it was weird. What's more, when their team members arrived at that sea area, the island suddenly disappeared. Even after wandering in the sea area for ten days and a half months, they couldn't find any trace.
But according to the news that they placed spies on the Triumph, the Skull Island really existed, and the weirdness and mystery in it were unknown.
So in desperation, DuPont and Stillman finally couldn't hold back and came to Li Xiao for cooperation.
As long as they can live forever, even if it is tens of millions of dollars, it is worth paying half of their assets. After all, for them, as long as the foundation of the consortium is as solid as a rock, it is a matter of minutes to make money , but this life is perishable, of course they have to grasp it.
……
……
At this time, DuPont and Stillman also placed this huge sum of money in front of Li Xiao.Compared with Scott's Rothschild family, their nine consortiums can definitely give Li Xiao better conditions and support, so they can't think of any reason why Li Xiao would reject their cooperation plan.
But to their surprise, Li Xiao's indifferent gaze just glanced at the suitcase casually, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head and directly rejected their cooperation intention.
"Sir, why, can I know the reason for your refusal?" Stillman's heart thumped, his fists were clenched slightly, and he couldn't help but get up from the sofa, his words were full of surprise And the color of incomprehension.
"We have an old saying in the East, which is called different ways and no conspiracies." Li Xiao said.
"Differences do not conspire with each other? Aren't we all pursuing the law of longevity now? What's the difference?" Stillman frowned slightly.
"During the prosperity of my ancient country of China, it was prosperous and powerful, the country was mighty, the guests from all directions were honored, and all nations came to court." Li Xiao was not busy explaining, but suddenly changed the topic.
"Indeed." Stillman nodded, undeniably.First Citigroup, as a financial oligarch, has banks all over the world. As the family speaker, Stillman naturally cannot avoid learning about the civilization and history of many other countries.He also knows the great dominance of China at its peak.Therefore, Stillman also paid great attention to the group's business in China, and opened five or six banks in just one place in Shanghai.
It's just that he didn't know the intention of Li Xiao's words, and he was a little baffled.
"These countries that come to pay tribute are called vassal states, and they are under the care of the vassal state. Once the vassal state is attacked, it will violate the majesty of the ancestral state, and the invaders must be dealt a head-on blow. Magnificent momentum, to boost the country's prestige. Speaking of this, do you understand what I mean?!" At the end, Li Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and his tone became more serious, appearing to be stern.
Stillman couldn't help but tremble when he heard the words.
What a treacherous and cunning man was Stillman?Speaking of this, the implication of Li Xiao's words could not be more obvious.Scott took the lead in expressing his loyalty to Li Xiao, that is, he expressed his intention of surrender, and then he was taken care of by Li Xiao, forming a relationship between an emperor and his subjects, while DuPont and Stillman were like invaders. Similarly, they not only kidnapped Scott, but also slapped and humiliated him. In this way, the two formed a hostile relationship. In the final analysis, how can the clan and the attacker cooperate?
It can be said that when the two decided to kidnap Scott, the relationship between each other was already closed.
At this time, the atmosphere in the living room also dropped suddenly, and suddenly became dignified and tense.
……
……
Just as Stillman's eyes flickered and his heart turned, he was thinking about how to deal with it.On the other side, the irritable DuPont suddenly jumped.
Dupont suddenly stood up, and the gold crutch leaned heavily on the ground, making a sonorous and ear-piercing sound.
With a look of sarcasm on DuPont's face, he shouted loudly: "Damn guy, I also borrowed an ancient Chinese saying, we think highly of you when we come to discuss things with you today, don't push yourself just because you have mastered the so-called alchemy and kung fu. , the stakes in this, don't regret it after weighing it clearly!"
DuPont's face was jumping wildly, and his distorted face showed a tyrannical look. Relying on the backing of nine consortia, he seemed to be fueled by fierce flames, and his arrogance reached the point of no cure.
Stillman's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He tugged at the corner of Dupont's clothes, and gave him another hard look, signaling him to shut up.
If it was said that there was still room for negotiation because of their differences of opinion, then now, it has really reached the point of tearing their faces apart, and the atmosphere has become tense.
Stillman went to look at Li Xiao again. At this time, the indifferent expression on his face no longer existed. What was frightening was that it was completely gloomy, full of a terrifying aura.
"I'm afraid I should tell you this sentence... By the way, when you slapped Scott, which hand did you use, should it be the right hand?" Li Xiao tore off the sticky note on the coffee table. He took off a thin piece of paper and pinched it between his fingertips.
"Hmph, it's ridiculous, I'm obviously using the left..." Just when Du Pont was about to refute, his fat face trembled because of speaking, but he froze there abruptly, his eyes were wide open. It was so big that the eyeballs were about to burst.
A cold feeling passed over his wrist, and then a surge of pain came over him.He suddenly lowered his head to look, only to see the joint of his wrist and palm, blood flowed horizontally, bubbling out, and the white bones and flesh and blood tissue were broken and exposed outside.One hand was severed at the root, and together with the golden crutch, it fell to the ground with a bang!There was a strong smell of blood in the air of the living room.
"My hand, what's going on, who can tell me why this damn thing happened!" DuPont let out a hoarse cry of pain, his face was pale, covered with cold sweat, his body was shaking, and he was almost going to faint past.
"This, how is it possible..." Stillman was dumbfounded, swallowed deeply, and there was a long trill in his words.
Du Pont didn't see it, but he saw it. Just now, Li Xiao bent his wrist slightly, and then flicked it lightly, but the thin paper in his hand was like a dart, and it directly sank into Du Pont's wrist, giving one of his hands to him. Cut it down!
He felt very unbelievable, but not far from him, the blood-stained thin paper swaying down in the air, this horrifying scene reminded him all the time that this was not an illusion!
"Go well, don't send it off." Li Xiao put his hands on his chest, and said lightly: "If you don't leave, you will not only leave one hand."
At this time, the attendants who reacted were about to draw out their weapons and attack Li Xiao, but this was stopped by Stillman.Witnessing the horrific scene just now, Stillman believed that the piece of paper in Li Xiao's hand was as sharp and fast as a bullet, so to provoke him now would be death!
Stillman maintained the only sliver of rationality in the fear, and while ordering his followers to help Dupont into the car, he watched Li Xiao vigilantly, and fled tremblingly, until he got into the car, using the maximum accelerator horsepower After driving away from the villa, he finally let go of the heart hanging in his throat. He let out a sigh of relief, his forehead and back were covered with cold sweat!
