Chapter 6: Not a Simple Woman
Mariko Shida's visit was naturally arranged by Chairman Yasuda. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's not hard to guess at all, regardless of whether Lee Kit, Harry and the others are aware of the discussions between Chairman Yasuda and his subordinates.
Because the tour route in Kyoto was recommended by Chairman Yasuda, including today's luncheon, he also came forward to arrange. If there is no connection between Mariko and Chairman Yasuda, then he won't believe it if he really kills Li Jie.
It's just that what Li Jie didn't expect was that Mariko actually came to meet Harry in this way. This reminded Li of the meeting he had arranged for Harry to meet.
Harry pretended to be a waiter serving Tony Stark as a way to lower his profile and show a sense of sincerity in working together. In this way, as a foreshadowing before mutual negotiation, it itself has a certain psychological foreshadowing effect. It will make your negotiator feel that you are sincere enough, especially if you are in a high position and are in a more passive position.
For example, Harry at that time, he had just taken over, and the Osborne Group was not very stable. And very, very young, plus having the same experience of losing his father at an early age as Tony. So although the whole negotiation was completed by Pepper, Tony was also touched by the weakness of his heart, so he gave the green light all the way to the cooperation.
And when the person who uses this method is replaced by a woman, especially a woman full of charm, then it will be even more powerful.
"It's rude, and I'm going to be Mariko Shida. I ask for your kind attention, Mr. Harry Osborne. Mariko bowed respectfully to Harry, in a standard posture of seventy-five degrees to the East.
"Oh, that's rude. I really didn't know it was Miss Mariko. Harry was a little stunned, and he didn't remember for a moment who this Mariko was.
But Li Jie quickly whispered in his ear about the Zhitian Foundation, and he quickly remembered who this woman should be.
"I really didn't expect that it was the head of the Shida Foundation, and he was rude just now. Harry didn't expect that the same way he had done Tony had been used on him, which made him a little embarrassed.
Li Jie and Peter also bowed, regardless of whether they wanted to stay away from the Shishida Foundation, but on the premise that there was no conflict of interest between the two companies, the superficial etiquette still had to be done.
"Mr. Harry, I am sure that many Oriental girls would like to be able to serve a young talent like you at close range. Mariko's smile was charming. Especially for a woman like her, who is a little bit pretty in her twenties and a woman in her thirties, this smile is full of a charming flavor.
Sometimes a woman's attractiveness doesn't have to be sexy with her body exposed. Women who are truly proficient in this art sometimes only need a smile and a look, as well as a seemingly casual turn of the head to expose the neck, and a slight combing of the hair. These movements, combined with the right tone and phrases, can naturally create a seductive atmosphere.
Of course, many times, this atmosphere does not mean that this woman wants to sleep with you. Sometimes she's just using some of her strengths. And Mariko is undoubtedly a master of this way.
Mariko's words are ambiguous and have the flavor of a pun. Harry was a little embarrassed, and he turned his head to look at Peter, and saw that the innocent little spider's ears were a little red, and he turned his face out of the window.
However, when he looked at Li Jie, he found that Li Jie was still looking at Mariko with a very calm face.
"Mariko-sama, what is your intention in coming? If you want to talk about cooperation with the Shishida Foundation, I think our company's reply has been very clear. Osborne Group has no intention of cooperating with your company for the time being. Li Jie interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere that Mariko had just created with a very official, but polite conversation.
Although the interruption was abrupt, it made Harry breathe a sigh of relief. Mariko's conversation just now, he really didn't know how to pick it up.
"If the Osborne Group is serious about developing medical plans in cooperation with local companies in the East, then we will give priority to your company. "Lee's rhetoric is very formal diplomatic rhetoric. There is a lot of nonsense, but there is only one meaning, that is, cooperation is no play.
"I'm sorry Miss Mariko, but this is a private trip. Mr. Harry had come to travel and didn't want to be bothered by business. "Li Jie, this is ready to send off.
Li Jie and Harry had discussed the Determined Tian Foundation before, and the background of this consortium was too serious. Now that Harry had been in power for less than a year, dealing with these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods didn't do him much good. And now the Osborne Group is focusing on the field of medical biology, which is different from the traditional field of weapons.
The severed limb regeneration program is sought after in countries around the world, and there is no need to deal with all sorts of gray people like the arms supply chain. The Shishida Foundation wants to get a piece of the Toyo pie, but the scale of this consortium is too large, and it has a strong black background. If it's just a little bit of small profits, I'm afraid it won't satisfy the appetite of this kind of company at all.
Neither Harry nor Li Jie wanted to share a little of the company's profits with a group of underworlds.
Li Jie's rhetoric almost made Mariko angry. As the leader of the Kanto region of the East, the person who dares to talk to her like this in the East has not been seen for ten years.
But as a brilliant businessman and leader of the group, she quickly calmed down her resentment, and even the expression on her face did not change. "Mr. Lee, I heard that you are Mr. Harry's personal advisor. I've heard of your name, and I've heard that you can help Mr. Harry decide a lot of things. ”
Mariko still has a smile on her face, but her words are full of knives.
"Yes, Jason is my most trusted advisor. What he says is my permission. However, Harry has learned a lot from his nearly year in the business world. He quickly said this for Li Jie, and at the same time patted Li Jie on the shoulder to show his trust in him.
Mariko still smiled respectfully on the surface, but no one knows what she thought in her heart. Li Jie's hard and soft refusal, and Harry's selfless trust in Li Jie caught her off guard.
"I'm sorry Mariko-sama, but it's really rude today. But we want to continue our trip and I'm sorry I think it's time for us to go. As he spoke, he prepared to leave the shop with Harry and Peter.
And he also exchanged a look with Harry, and Chairman Yasuda's behavior is worth pondering. Maybe I should go back to Osaka in the afternoon and discuss the issue of Chairman Yasuda.
Seeing that everyone was leaving, Mariko Tsushida couldn't sit still. Since the routine is useless, then let's do business. "Please wait a minute, Mr. Harry, I have something to discuss with you. ”
"Mariko-san, I'm really sorry. For the time being, we have no desire to find a strategic partner in Toyo. Harry repeated what Li Jie had just said, acting like he was doing business.
"No, you're mistaken. But you'll soon understand. "Since the tender policy is useless to these people, Mariko has reverted to her strong woman style. Full of confidence between the words, there is an air of a superior.
"Come out. At Mariko's shout, a somewhat thin boy hurried over from outside the veranda.
The boy looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a Caucasian and yellow mixed race. This is somewhat similar to Li Jie.
It's just that the boy's eyes look a little cringe, although he is a little stronger than his Asian peers. But that cringe-inducing look makes people look uncomfortable.
Lee, Harry, and Peter were a little confused about what Mariko was going to do.
"Presentation to the guests. Mariko's expression as she spoke to the boy had a condescending look. The boy looks scared of Mariko. Although judging by his demeanor and actions, he was a little reluctant.
But he still pulled a sharp knife out of his bosom. The moment he pulled out the knife, both Li Jie and Peter subconsciously thought that he was going to do something wrong to Harry, so they both protected Harry.
However, the boy took out the knife and did not use it to commit murder. His face was a little nervous, and he kept looking at Mariko, and there was some supping in his eyes. But Mariko's eyes were very determined. The boy eventually gave up.
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and finally swiped his fingers hard. The knife is very, very sharp, and you can see that you have very good forging and grinding techniques.
Because this knife, which is only twelve centimeters long, cutting off the four fingers of the boy's left hand is as sharp as cutting tofu.
Four fingers were broken at the root, and the blood that splattered from the fracture was more than three meters away. has already splashed from the position of the eaves corridor to the location where Li Jie and the others had just eaten.
The blue glazed porcelain is dyed with bright red blood flowers, like peach blossoms in spring, but the color is more vivid and gorgeous.
"Are you crazy?" Li Jie shouted at Mariko in disbelief. Although she knew that Mariko had a background in the dark, she didn't expect Mariko to order her subordinates to do so in this way. What's the use of that?
Hearing Li Jie's words, Mariko didn't pay attention to him. Just a word. "I'm sorry for the blood, but soon Mr. Harry will understand the purpose of all this. ”
As Mariko said, it is true that Li Jie and the others quickly understood Mariko's purpose in doing this.
The severed part of the boy's limb is being frantically reborn at a speed visible to the naked eye. First the skeletal part of the knuckle, then some of the musculatures and nerves that are wrapped around the bone, and the epidermis is restored.
In less than ten seconds, the boy's four broken fingers were intact. If it weren't for the severed limbs on the ground and the blood that had just been splashed, it would almost make people suspect that nothing had just happened.
Li Jie and the others exchanged glances with some shock to each other. The shock was not because of the boy's ability to recover, but because the boy's ability to recover made Li Jie and the others think of another person.
A man who fought with them and who had shown great resilience. And this person is currently wandering around the whole East, and I don't know what he's doing.
Li Jie secretly turned his face and at the same time blocked the side of his face with one hand to prevent Mariko from seeing it. He lightly gestured with his mouth: Wolverine Logan.
