Chapter 293: Negotiation
Qiu Ruoyu immediately turned around, only to see six figures walking out of the entrance of the cabin, and when he saw the face of the leader clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a look of consternation welled up in his eyes: "Xiao Zhenshan." β
Ye Ning had also turned around, and he also recognized that the group of people led by the former helmsman of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhenshan, who was dressed in a straight suit, his hair was neatly combed, and there was no change from the past, but if you look closely, you will find that the calm and elegant gentlemanly bearing has disappeared, and there is a little more snake-like coldness in his eyes.
Behind Xiao Zhenshan, except for the two foreigners who had taken Ye Ning and the others before, the other three were all from Huaxia, thirty-five to forty years old, with a strong figure, a cold face, and a sharp look in their eyes.
"One congenital early stage, two congenital Xiaocheng, this is not a small stroke. After a group of people approached, Ye Ning also understood the realm level of the three through induction, and at the same time, he was a little awe-inspiring in his heart, but he also had some doubts, please move the three congenital powerhouses, I don't know how Xiao Zhenshan did it, it is said that the latter should never have this ability, otherwise, how could the Du family suppress the Xiao family, and the Xiao family would have already entered the provincial ranks.
"The world is impermanent, I really didn't expect that one day we would meet in this way. When he came to Qiu Ruoyu and stopped three meters in front of him, Xiao Zhenshan glanced at the two of them separately, and shook his head with some emotion.
"Xiao Zhenshan, it turns out that you are the mastermind behind all this. Qiu Ruoyu took a deep breath of the cold air on the sea, forced himself to calm down, and said word for word.
"I don't want to. Xiao Zhenshan said indifferently: "If you are not forced to do so, who is willing to take risks." β
It's not hidden, it's right, once some roads are chosen, there is no possibility of turning back, and if you are fiddling with hypocrisy at this time, who will you show it?
Qiu Ruoyu sneered: "Heh, I have no choice, if I remember correctly, the shares of the Xiao family in your hand have been exchanged for 100 million in cash, if it is said that the worth of more than 100 million is called a last resort, then it is not that 99% of the 8 million people in Zhonghai City have to take risks." β
Xiao Zhenshan's eyes crossed a sudden, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Shi is my hard work for more than ten years, if you are me, you will also be unwilling." β
Qiu Ruoyu said lightly: "The shopping mall has been up and down, it is not surprising that you have become rich overnight, or you have lost all your homes, you didn't start from scratch back then, and now you obviously have a lot of cash, if you are unwilling, you can make a comeback, with your ability, three or five years later, it is not impossible for 100 million to become 1 billion." β
Xiao Zhenshan snorted: "Are you teaching me to be a man?"
"I'm just telling you what I would do if I were to change places with you. β
Qiu Ruoyu's tone was indifferent, and when she really entered the negotiation mode, the distractions in her heart were eliminated a lot, and the sense of crisis in the "tiger's den" was also minimized.
"Hahaha. Xiao Zhenshan suddenly laughed loudly, and gave a thumbs up to Qiu Ruoyu: "Okay, a good comeback, Qiu Ruoyu, you are so courageous, women don't let you shave your eyebrows, I think otherwise, I will buy all the Huayuan shares you have with 100 million, and you will make a comeback for me to see." At the end of the words, the corners of his mouth flashed with a rich mockery.
Qiu Ruoyu sighed secretly, originally she still had a glimmer of hope that she could persuade Xiao Zhenshan to rein in the precipice, give some "compensation" as she meant, and end up in "peace" as if nothing had happened, but at the moment, she was too naΓ―ve, Xiao Zhenshan was planning to go all the way to the dark.
"Let's not waste time, since we have asked me to negotiate, let's hear what the conditions are. β
Xiao Zhenshan's face became strange: "Niece, I see that you haven't figured out the situation." β
"How?"
"There are seventeen people on that cargo ship, and their lives are all in my hands, so you should tell me what conditions you can give in exchange for these seventeen lives. Xiao Zhenshan stretched out a palm, shook it suddenly, and made a movement that he could control, and his face did not hide the excitement and happiness.
Qiu Ruoyu groaned slightly, and said calmly: "Seventeen hostages, I will give a ransom of 100 million at most, this is my bottom line, if I can't satisfy you, then I can only say sorry." β
Xiao Zhenshan suddenly widened a pair of eyes, as if he had met an idiot: "One hundred million, are you joking with me." β
Qiu Ruoyu's tone was resolute: "Just 100 million, don't be confused, I, Qiu Ruoyu, am a businessman, not a bodhisattva of all beings, there are tens of millions of people who die in vain every day in this world, and I Qiu Ruoyu doesn't have that kindness... You yourself know in your heart that if you really hurt seventeen lives, your Xiao family will be completely finished. β
Qiu Ruoyu knows very well that when negotiating with a person who has embarked on the point of no return, you must behave ruthlessly, and never show a trace of cowardice and hesitation.
Xiao Zhenshan seemed to have heard a big joke, pointed to the ocean, and said with a cruel smile: "Qiu Ruoyu, you really don't know the situation, do you think that I, Xiao Zhenshan, am really mad and want to break the net? Hehe, let me tell you the truth, those seventeen hostages are just a bargaining chip for me to lure you to the high seas, and I bet that you will not ignore their safety." β
As he spoke, he turned his finger and pointed to his feet: "Now that you have boarded this boat, do you think you still have room for bargaining?"
Turning his finger again, he pointed at Ye Ning: "Or do you think that with him protecting you, you will be safe and sound?"
After a series of questions, Xiao Zhenshan's face showed a touch of pride and pride, and his mood was even better than ever, the previous series of measures were just the bait he put down, the purpose was to lure Qiu Ruoyu into the bait, and it turned out that he succeeded, from beginning to end, the real hostage in his eyes was not the seventeen people at all, but Qiu Ruoyu himself.
A wisp of extreme uneasiness flashed from his eyes, Qiu Ruoyu's mind turned sharply, and he suddenly thought of a certain possibility, so he said with a hint of temptation: "Xiao Zhenshan, I know what you think, out of Huaxia, the Qiu family's deterrent power is not so customary, but have you thought clearly, if something happens to me, even if you return to China with the legal documents with my handprint, do you think you can take over the Huayuan shares I hold?"
Hearing Qiu Ruoyu say this, Xiao Zhenshan shook his finger and said firmly: "Qiu Ruoyu, you also underestimate my Xiao Zhenshan's wisdom too much, you died overseas, I will go back to take over your inheritance, the Qiu family is not blind, do you think I will do this kind of stupid thing? Your inheritance can only be inherited by your father..."
