Chapter 1421: The Premise of Cooperation
After waiting for a while, the door of the study opened again, and Hall walked out of the study, came to Zhao Baliang, and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, the head of the family wants to talk to you!"
Zhao Baliang nodded.
Hall turned around and turned on the screen hanging on the wall of the living room, connecting the computer signal from the study to the living room.
Then, Nadine's serious face with a faint smile appeared on the screen.
Seeing Nadine, Zhao Baliang smiled slightly: "Mr. Nadine, long time no see!"
Nadine nodded, looked at Zhao Baliang, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen you for so long, but your deeds in Huaxia have already reached me! To be able to do so many things in Huaxia in such a short period of time, your ability is really beyond my expectations!"
Zhao Baliang smiled.
Huang Weiwei on the side was extremely surprised, Nadine's Chinese language is much more fluent than Hall, if it weren't for Nadine's appearance as a typical white European, I'm afraid Huang Weiwei would think that this is a Chinese voice when she listens to this voice!
After chatting for a while, Nadine first cut to the chase: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you want to talk to me personally, I think, there must be a reason for this!
Zhao Baliang nodded, and then said with a chuckle: "Mr. Nadine, the transaction of three hundred catties of demon beast meat, Mr. Hall must have already told you, right?"
Nadine nodded and said, "Yes! However, Mr. Zhao, you should understand that the Howard Group is worth more than tens of billions! This deal, if you talk about it, it seems that we have lost some! However, I want to hear your reasons, perhaps, you can give me a reason to convince me!"
Zhao Baliang laughed, and then shook his head: "No, I don't want to convince you, I just want Mr. Nadine to know that I want the Howard Group, I don't want to accept it completely, I just need the Howard family to use the power in Huaxia to help me for a period of time in the future!"
Hearing Zhao Baliang's words, Hall on the side was in a cold sweat.
This guy doesn't explain his words in advance, if this makes the head of the family mistakenly think that his understanding ability has deviated, it will be a big blow to his status in the family!
Sure enough, Nadine's eyes on the screen turned slightly, as if he glanced at Hall standing next to Zhao Baliang, and then said calmly: "Oh? But, I listen to Hall, it doesn't seem to be the case!"
Zhao Baliang smiled and nodded: "Of course! I deliberately didn't make it clear to Mr. Hall! Otherwise, there would be no conversation between us!"
Nadine's eyes froze slightly, and then he understood what Zhao Baliang meant.
Indeed, if it was just the Howard family using some power in Huaxia to help Zhao Baliang, it would not be a big deal for the Rothschild family, and Hall would be able to decide it himself!
Only when he encounters something that Hall can't decide, he will contact Nadine, so if there is no misunderstanding, Zhao Baliang will not be able to see Nadine.
At that moment, Nadine frowned and asked, "It seems that what Mr. Zhao wants to tell me is not about this demon beast meat transaction!"
Zhao Baliang smiled, but arched his hand and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Nadine, I apologize for my previous concealment! However, I think this conversation will definitely not disappoint the Rothschild family, Mr. Nadine!"
Nadine laughed, "I'm looking forward to it!"
Zhao Baliang's face gradually became serious, and then, looking deeply at Nadine on the screen, he said word by word: "I want to cooperate with the Rothschild family!"
Nadine raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Baliang with a smile: "Oh, cooperation, now, aren't you and the Rothschild family and Mr. Zhao in cooperation?"
Indeed, the Rothschild family's Château Lafite and Zhao Baliang's Lushuijia Winery, as well as some other aspects, have some cooperation, and those collaborations are all facilitated by Elena's efforts.
And Elena is Nadine's daughter!
Zhao Baliang smiled bitterly in his heart, looking at the old man's expression, he should have known the relationship between Elena and himself!
However, Zhao Baliang didn't think about hiding it, he just smiled slightly, didn't take over the topic, and didn't mention Elena, just smiled casually: "The cooperation I am talking about is not commercial!"
Nadine glanced at Zhao Baliang with some confusion, a little puzzled by what he meant.
Zhao Baliang smiled slightly: "My identity is not just a businessman!"
Hearing this, Nadine's pupils shrank suddenly!
He understood what Zhao Baliang meant!
Zhao Baliang's identity, in addition to being a businessman, is also an important figure in the Huaxia military and the official! Although he is not a high-level figure in Huaxia, he can be regarded as a pivotal figure!
But this identity has no role for the Rothschild family, and it has nothing to do with cooperation.
And in addition to these two identities, Zhao Baliang's last identity is a cultivator!
Since Zhao Baliang said that it was not a commercial cooperation, it should be a cooperation on the cultivator side!
Thinking of this, Nadine's eyes showed a faint look.
No one knows the current state of the Rothschild family better than Nadine.
The huge family that has dominated Europe for hundreds of years and once almost dominated the world has gradually disappeared behind the scenes, not because the strength of the Rothschild family has become weak, but because, after reaching a certain height, the Rothschild family suddenly found that it is impossible to maintain the current strength with financial resources alone!
In this world, strength includes many aspects, and financial resources are just one of them!
Force, force, can be regarded as a condition for judging strength!
And among them, the most important thing is not the financial resources that many people envy, but the force!
Force is fundamental!
Only with strong force can we maintain the inheritance coveted by countless people after reaching the height of the Rothschild family! Otherwise, even if we have wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, we can only become the target of coveted by outsiders!
The Rothschilds understood this truth decades ago.
Therefore, in the past few decades, nearly a hundred years, the Rothschild family has been committed to developing family force, and the core of family force is the power of cultivators!
It's just that although the Rothschild family's financial resources are the best in the world, if they want to cultivate cultivators, they can't do it with financial resources alone.
Although the Rothschild family also had some accumulation before, it was not strong, and the cultivators in the family were only some Yellow Rank Xuan Rank, and even Earth Rank, and the only few Heavenly Rank cultivators were only in the early stage of the Heaven Rank, and the highest strength was only a cultivator at the peak of the middle Heaven Rank!
The strength of such a cultivator is obviously not proportional to the financial resources and power held by the Rothschild family, and because of this, the Rothschild family is under pressure from all sides, and it is also getting bigger and bigger!
This is also the reason why, after discovering that Zhao Baliang was a cultivator in Australia, the Rothschild family was extremely cautious!
Because, the Rothschild family knows very well that in the business world, although their own family can be called a generation of overlords, but for those Huaxia cultivator families that have a longer inheritance time and a stronger foundation, as long as a master of the late stage of the Heavenly Rank comes out, it can make the entire Rothschild family collapse!
Therefore, the Rothschild family, who suspected that Zhao Baliang was the descendant of the cultivator family, would show such enthusiasm for Zhao Baliang in Australia, and even retreated again and again!
And at this moment, after understanding what Zhao Baliang meant, Nadine's heart was a little excited.
For Zhao Baliang, Nadine has already noticed it!
As early as when he was in Australia, Nadine had already heard the name of Zhao Baliang and made a decision for him.
Then, the collection of information on Zhao Baliang has become an important task of the Rothschild family's intelligence department, and it can be said that under the all-pervasive investigation of the Rothschild family, Nadine's understanding of Zhao Baliang even exceeds that of most people in China!
Because of this, Nadine knew what kind of status Zhao Baliang had in today's cultivation world!
In the cultivation world of Qi refining and body refining, Zhao Baliang is the leader of the Cloud Alliance, although the current Cloud Alliance cannot compete head-on with the Cultivator Family Elder Council, but it has also faintly fought against each other, and even, not long ago, Zhao Baliang personally destroyed the Ninth Elder Family of the Cultivator Family Elders, the Huo Family!
And in the internal strength cultivation world, Zhao Baliang's status is even higher!
The entire Inner Cultivation Circle, under Zhao Baliang's strong hand, formed an Alliance of Internal Strength Cultivators, and Zhao Baliang was the leader of this alliance!
Although Zhao Baliang's control over this alliance is not so strong, this can also show Zhao Baliang's strength and status!
In addition, Zhao Baliang himself is still a genuine Heaven Rank master, and moreover, he is a master who has killed a late Heaven Rank cultivator!
Based on these, Zhao Baliang is extremely important in Nadine's eyes!
At this moment, Nadine calmed down his mind, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhao Baliang, and said, "Mr. Zhao, can you elaborate on it?"
Zhao Baliang nodded with a smile, and then, with a flip of his palm, he handed a USB flash drive in his hand to Hall who was standing aside.
"Mr. Hall, pass on a copy of this to Mr. Nadine!"
Hall nodded, hurriedly took it, and walked into the study.
Just a few moments later, Nadine on the screen had already seen an electronic version of the information that Hale had passed on.
After a while, Nadine smiled bitterly, raised his head, and looked at Zhao Baliang: "Mr. Zhao, show me this information, what's the purpose?"
Zhao Baliang smiled: "This pressure, presumably the Rothschild family, should bear the brunt, right? If there are no more measures, the first to be impacted at that time should be the Rothschild family!"
Nadine nodded, and did not deny Zhao Baliang's statement: "That's right! However, what does this have to do with the cooperation in Mr. Zhao's mouth?"
Zhao Baliang pondered for a moment: "Although the Rothschild family bears the brunt of the attack, as a cultivator, I can't escape! I'm not a person who likes to sit back and wait for death! My recent actions in Huaxia are just to integrate forces! So, I think, there is a premise of cooperation between us!"
Nadine frowned, deep in thought.
