Richie, who was far away in Switzerland, received a call from Marvin Davis, although Marvin Davis did not say it explicitly on the phone, but Rich could already understand the meaning of his words.

Richie laughed, "Birds grow wings, and they always want to conquer the blue sky." ”

He knew the story better than Marvin Davis, and from the time Jonas first met Ivan, he had been watching what Jonas was going to do.

Although he was not clear about some of the links in this, he roughly deduced the whole story based on some of Jonas's movements.

Jonas was particularly satisfied with his ruthlessness, but even more satisfied that Jonas was able to talk and laugh with Allen.

If you want to become a leader, violence alone is not enough, violence can always be an auxiliary means, not as a basis for the survival of a group.

Even gangsters need to find the foundation of the group's survival, whether it is smuggling arms, or drug trafficking, or sex and sex industries.

For the deformed behemoth of the alliance of interests, maintaining relations with the big names of various countries, establishing a positive image, and distributing internal benefits are far more important than violent means.

Jonas, who was once a simple child, has gradually become a leader with a city government and means, which is more important than his ability to make money by investing in his partners.

As for Richie, now that his power has been severely damaged by being wanted by Armenia, it is more effective to continue to exert his influence through Jonas as a spokesperson than if he appeared in person.

Because he has gained notoriety, Jonas is different.

Jonas has a good image, and governments and royal families are willing to communicate directly with him without being sneaky.

Even in the hearts of the general public, Jonas has become an idol of young people all over the world because of his superb football skills and outstanding earning ability.

He and Jonas have no direct conflict of interest, as they are thirty-one years apart, and by the time Jonas has grown to the point where he can challenge his position, he is already old.

So, after a deep sigh, he dialed Allen's satellite phone directly.

Langkawi Island, Alan stays at the Park Resort on the bay of Blau Island, a hotel located under a steep mountain with a secluded beach.

After dinner, he returned to the hotel and found that it was full of the heads of companies and major shareholders in the oil industry.

Although it is in the same industry, it is also a rare opportunity to gather so many peers together at one time.

After a while, Allen exchanged views with several colleagues on the recent international oil prices and other issues.

Although everyone is paying special attention to the tragedy of the Moore booster station, no one will touch Allen's bad head here.

In the bar, he was sitting at the bar with Hodgson, the president of Philip Brothers, when his assistant Lewis walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Richie's phone." ”

"I'm sorry, I need to get a call first. ”

Hodgson raised his glass. "Feel free to do so, I'll need to talk to Askell too. ”

Eskell is Norway's Minister of Energy and he is one of the most popular guests at this hotel today.

Allen's leg still ached a little, but at this moment he didn't care at all, speculating about Richie's purpose.

Arriving at a clean room next to the bar, Alan answered the phone. "Hello, Mark. ”

Makridge's voice came from the other side. "Hello Alan, we haven't spoken directly in years. ”

"Yes. Since Richie's arrest, Phillips, as Ritchie's rival company, has been the vanguard of the Armenian government, and his communication with Richie has become less and less.

"Because there is too little communication, there will be misunderstandings and conflicts between us. Rich pondered for a moment and then said, "Only by increasing communication can the estrangement be resolved, do you think?"

"That's exactly what I'm looking forward to. ”

On the other end of the phone, Rich sighed and said, "Phillips' oil extraction cost control last year was the best in the world. The performance of $3.46/barrel oil equivalent is not bad even compared to Saudi Arabia's oil fields. I have been working on oil development in Port Hackett, Nigeria, where the cost has been high, and I hope to have the opportunity to increase cooperation. ”

The average cost of extracting crude oil from Phillips Petroleum last year was only $3.46 per barrel, which is not the lowest in the world, but it is definitely among the lowest.

For example, the cost of oil extraction off the coast of Angola is two or three times that of this price at the lowest, and it can be controlled below ten US dollars, and Jonas will be happy.

The only oil fields that can compete with Phillips are some oil fields in the Middle East, where cost control is not done well, and it is completely dependent on the sky.

Most of the oil wells there are self-blowout wells, which are extremely cheap to extract.

Alan understood what Richie meant, and this was in the name of cooperation, giving Phillips some benefits.

Although it is not explicitly stated that this is compensation for Phillips, this is what it means.

"Phillips Petroleum is always looking to enter the African market, and Mark, you're a generous partner," Allen said. ”

Richie laughed. "So, let the people below talk about it. I hope that through cooperation, we can strengthen the ties between us. ”

"Thank you, Mark. I wish you good health. ”

"Again, Alan. I wish you good health as well. ”

In the Shangri-La Hotel, Jonas didn't know that Richie had taken all the responsibility for this big case at once.

Richie's call to Allen is actually telling Allen that I did everything.

Whether it's cooperation or revenge, come to me!

Although he has gone to a serious trouble, Jonas is still worried. Because, Nicole, a guy who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, also came to Langkawi Island.

He got the news when Nicole landed on the dock at Langkawi Island with two assistants.

At this time, he arranged for several bodyguards for Nicole, and he was still looking for people everywhere in Los Angeles.

After Nicole arrived in Langkawi, she was quite low-key, she contacted Teresa, and through Teresa's connection, she came to the Shangri-La Hotel without alerting anyone else.

But her arrival can't be hidden from Jonas, nor from the DeHertz family.

Because Heidwin, who is in charge of the general reception, is the steward of the DeHertz family, and the bodyguards and drivers on the island are arranged by Jonas.

Before Nicole's car entered the hotel, Venus's phone call was made to Jonas. "Jonas, I want you to take care of this. I don't want any stain on your engagement with Neuer. ”

"Of course, Dad. This is my engagement. ”

Theresa lives in a small building next to the beach, where she and her father live.

When Nicole got out of the car, she saw Jonas at the door, and couldn't help but sarcastically say, "I didn't expect that my face is really big......"

It was still raining lightly, and Jonas stood in front of Nicole without an umbrella. "Why are you coming?"

"Don't be like an enemy, I'm not here to ruin your engagement, just to see this grand, sensational engagement that will make a splash around the world. ”

"Is that just the purpose?"

Nicole said with some sarcasm, "Jonas, you're too nervous. If I wanted to be your caged bird, to be the signature of the Hoffman family, I would not have refused to be your fiancée in the first place. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "People's hearts always change, and I don't want you to be the uncertainty of tomorrow." ”

"How do you need me to prove it?"

"No, think about the status of a shareholder in Fox, and I think you'll make the right choice. ”

At this time, Marvin Davis came over with his big star lover Joan Collins with an umbrella. "Nicole, it's a pleasure to see you in Langkawi. Jonas has already negotiated with me for the transfer of shares in Twentieth Century Fox, and in a month and a half, you will be the second largest shareholder of Twentieth Century Fox. ”

"This is really good news. Hello, Collins. ”

Nicole stepped forward and hugged Collins, who smiled and said, "Nicole, seeing you so young and beautiful really makes me envious." Just call me Joan. ”

Corinthians, who was born in 33, is 53 years old, but he still has a lot of charm. However, compared to Nicole, who is less than 20 years old, she is already a thing of the past.

Jonas then said, "Nicole, tomorrow you are with Marvin Davis at the engagement, and your place is by his side." ”

He looked back at Theresa, who was standing at the door of the house, and added, "You can go and accompany Sophia, you are not allowed to attend the bachelorette party tonight, and you are not allowed to perform on stage tomorrow." ”

Nicole rolled her eyes and said, "I also have one condition. ”

"You know, I'm always going to try to accommodate your requests. ”

"Stay with me tonight. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Jonas said helplessly: "Definitely not tonight, I will go to Los Angeles to accompany you after the New Year." ”

Of course, Nicole knew that it was impossible for Jonas to accompany her tonight, and she deliberately asked for a price, feeling that she was about to touch the bottom line of Jonas. She smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry about me, I'm just trying to see your engagement." I said goodbye to Theresa and went to Sophia. ”

Jonas's rights company in the UK has been given to Sophia, and Theresa and Nicole have also met because of this relationship. It's just that Jonas doesn't know when they got on such a good footing.

It may be that Neuer, a common "enemy", unites them.

However, it would be a little too narcissistic to think this way.

Seeing Nicole obediently go to the villa where Grandma Hannah lived, Jonas's heart felt a little more comfortable, and even had a sense of pride.

Anyway, she came all the way to it for herself.

It's a pity that Sophia and Eugene are having a good time. The fierce and vicious Plov, in front of his daughter, lost a little domineering and became a daughter slave.

Sophia no longer has Nicole's mother in her memory, so she reluctantly kissed her for the sake of the gift, and pouted her ass to play with Eugene.

Nicole, who was left out in the cold, was not disappointed, she knew that she only saw her child once in a few months, and the child did not remember her deeply.

When Sophia is older, she will know that her mother's status is irreplaceable by others.

She took the trouble to tease Sophia with gifts, and in a short time, she attracted the attraction of the two children, and the two of them pestered her to play.

Grandma Hannah breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jonas a look and told him to go to his bachelorette ball.

Before the wedding of Britain and the United States, both men and women will hold a bachelorette ball, which means that they will end their single life and have to take care of their hearts in the future.

Since this activity was given to both men and women to give them one last chance to indulge, it quickly became popular.

Jonas has specially invited a team of dancers from the famous Moulin Rouge from Paris, who will be the protagonists of this evening's ball.

The Moulin Rouge has 40 actresses and 20 men from all over the world, mainly Australia, Russia, and the United Kingdom.

Actresses must be trained in ballet, be at least 1.7 meters tall, and be between the ages.

They should be pretty, with bright smiles, slender thighs, and playful noses......

Their salaries are $800 per month, and veteran actors can reach up to 2,000, but their main salary depends on audience consumption and tips.

Of course, Jonas only invited actresses, and the male actors would not be invited, he was not afraid that Neuer would be taken advantage of, mainly because he was afraid that the girls from those big families would not be able to control it, and they would take a fancy to those male actors and cause scandals.

Society is like this, men can play as they please, but women can't.

Forty female dancers, far from enough for Jonas's more than a hundred relatives and friends.

At the beginning, men and women played separately, but some friends who brought female companions, fearing that the men would play too much, came to scout the "enemy situation" one by two, and finally stayed here.

For large-scale striptease, these girls are more attentive than men.

Jonas also went to the dance hall where the girls were in the name of caring for Neuer, and the girls who stayed here were more reserved.

However, their reserve is also relative. When Jonas came to this side, he was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and as soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by a group of young women leading young girls.

"Sisters, close the door and don't let any more men in. ”

"Turn off the lights and blindfold Jonas. ”

"I'm so excited!"

"I'm so excited to think of playing with Jonas!"

The lights on the dance floor immediately dimmed, and Jonas was surrounded by dozens of women, all with his chest puffed out, and he didn't even dare to resist, so he could only obey.

As a result, he was tied to a chair, even his hands were tied behind his back, and he was blindfolded.

Neuer's meeting was soft-spoken and amused, and he didn't have the idea of saving Jonas at all, but watched the excitement with relish.

At first, he was just a bet on the girls, and whoever loses will take advantage of Jonas according to the rules.

But the wine helps Yaxing, and the more they go to the back, the more crazy they play.

Jonas's hands were loosened, his shirt was removed, and he touched the plump parts of an unknown number of people in the dark, and he had to guess exactly who the object was.

If you guess wrong, you will be dripping wax......

Poor Jonas, just listening to the gasp, felt out who the other party was, and did not dare to guess the correct answer.

He could only be dripping with candles all over his body again and again......
