Chapter 282: Career
When Li Mochen returned to the locker room, he found Louise Lindon, who seemed to be waiting here. He noticed that the girl was still holding two bottles of champagne in her hands.
"Congratulations!"
Louise Linden stuffed a bottle of champagne into Li Mochen's hand: "For your Rising Sun Company, and for your individual championship." ”
Li Mochen smiled dumbly, uncorked the champagne, and touched Louise: "I accept the Rising Sun Company, but we have to wait for next week." ”
It is said that the girl in front of him is his opponent in the next round.
"No!" Louise shook her head slightly, "You are already the Atlanta High School Individual Champion now, and I have already informed the tournament committee that you have officially abstained from the next round." ”
"Abstaining? why?" Li Mochen's expression was surprised.
"You know why, Amo. In the next game, will you treat me the same way you did Carol? I think since that's the case, it's better to abstain, so that you can save a little face. ”
Louise chuckled: "If it's a mentoring battle, we have a chance, and there's no need to be in the ring." ”
Li Mochen suddenly understood that for Louise, the eldest lady of the Linden family, it was unacceptable to lose miserably in the next ring or to guide the battle. He was willing to sell favors to the other party and release a little water in the ring, but for Louise, it was even more humiliating.
"Wow, I guess the NHSAA tournament committee, and the advertisers, the TV stations, they must be angry, and the board of directors of the academy will not agree, right?"
He knew that the NHSAA Tournament Committee had recently made a lot of money from his events, and that some of that revenue would also come to Lyndon College.
"But I don't have to care what they think, do I?"
When Louise said this, her expression was slightly solemn: "Let's get down to business, the academy will prepare a celebration ball for you tomorrow night, do you have time to attend?"
This is the purpose of her here, waiting for Li Mochen's return.
"Of course. ”
As Li Mochen was saying this, he saw Chu Siguo holding a mobile phone and hurriedly walked over from the aisle in front: "BOSS, there is your phone, I think you should listen to it." The other side said that he was the deputy head of the Holy Blood Hunting Order, Candela-"
When Louise heard the word 'holy blood', she couldn't help but look at her eyes slightly, but her expression then calmed down, and she waved her hand to Li Mochen with a smile and signaled her leave. Li Mochen took the phone and walked into the dressing room.
"Mr. Alexandra Candela, is it?"
"It's me, little one. ”
The voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse and magnetic: "I think you should have received our letter, right?"
Li Mochen felt a little uncomfortable, the other party was treating him as a junior, and his words were casual.
If it was like Franks of the Teutonic Cross, it was true that the elders who cared for him were fine, but this Alexandra Candela-Li Mochen didn't think that the other party was like Franks.
Therefore, Li Mochen's tone was more alienated and cold: "I received it, Mr. Candela." I'm sorry, though, but I'm not interested in business on the Antolian mainland. As you may have heard, the five armed merchant ships left behind by my father have sunk, and my Rising Sun Company has completely withdrawn from the maritime trade business, so there is nothing that can be done. ”
There was silence on the other side of the phone for half a minute, and if it weren't for the rustling electronic tone, Li Mochen almost thought that the other party had hung up the phone. He thought that this deputy head of Alexandra Candela must have been surprised, and he was considering his words.
Sure enough, when the hoarse voice sounded again, it was a little more solemn: "Andre, I don't think you should understand the meaning of the friendship of the Holy Blood Hunting Regiment. As a friend of your father, I feel compelled to inform you. The Alliance Wings Boat Regiment organized by your father during his lifetime sells us all kinds of arms and all kinds of daily necessities every year, and the profit is more than 50 million gold. And then the various magical materials he gets from us every year are worth more than 1500 million. Even if he threw these things directly to those big groups, he could directly sell them for two to three times the price. And your father's partners, as well as the Cardia and the Triangular Vikings. You know, you can easily pull out a large group of ships in America with the letter we gave you—"
"Mr. Candela, I beg your pardon for being rude, I've already done my research on the Alliance Wings and the Antolian continent. ”
Li Mochen interrupted Alexandra Candela's words: "This is indeed a very profitable business, but high profits also mean high risks, right? Mr. Candela, if you know me well, you should know that my career in Atlanta is booming, and I am not short of money. What reason do I have to get involved in the Antolian continent and take that risk that I shouldn't have taken? I am grateful for the friendship of the Holy Blood Hunters, but I really have no intention of inheriting this business now. ”
"Andrey, don't rush to make a decision, okay?"
Alexandra Candela didn't seem to know what to say, and there was a strange emotion in his words: "Well, I'm back in America now, on the west coast of America. I'll go to Atlanta and meet you in a while, and I think we can have an open and honest conversation, and then it's not too late for you to say no. ”
After Li Mochen pondered for a while, he still agreed. Then he looked at the mobile phone and fell into contemplation, the reason why he refused the Holy Blood Hunting Regiment, first, he was not prepared and did not make up his mind, and secondly, because he was disgusted with the other party's attitude of giving alms; from the conversation between the two sides, the attitude of the deputy head of the Holy Blood Hunting Regiment in this matter was even more urgent than he imagined.
What's going on over there?
Li Mochen was puzzled, and then shook his head and prepared to change his clothes. Since he barely sweated this time, he didn't plan to take a shower.
However, Li Mochen had just finished taking off his shirt when he heard his mobile phone ring again.
This time it was Edward Jeffries, whose voice was full of joy and enthusiasm: "Andre, are you free for the evening? ”
Li Mochen's spirits perked up: "The contract? Is it Edward Jewelry Company?"
"That's right, what I mentioned to you before, the most sincere company at the moment. ”
Mr. Jeffries laughed: "One hundred and twenty million in two years, and in addition to special terms, Edward Jewellery Company will create two exclusive products for you in two years, and you will receive four percent of the proceeds." ”
"That's five times the size of a cutiro. ”
Li Mochen couldn't help but be taken aback, after all, the previous Katiro costume was only 12 million gold a year.
"It's a different kind of Amo, although Katilo clothing is the top luxury brand in the clothing industry, but they are only dealing in clothing at the moment. In addition to ornaments such as jewelry, Edward's Jewelry Company also deals in auxiliary magical equipment such as jewelry, earrings, necklaces, and brooches. ”
There was a slight smug hint in Jeffries' voice: "So tonight, Amo, do you have to find time to find out anyway? EMMM~, and then we will have a celebration dinner, and the vice president of Norfolk Motor Company will be there, and he will be very interested in you. We may sign the next endorsement contract within a day or two. ”
Li Mochen thought that today was really his lucky day, and all kinds of good things were coming one after another. And his choice was indeed correct, and Edward Jeffries's connections and abilities were beyond doubt.
