Ye Er was dressed up very charmingly today, a subtle Hanfu set showed the softness of Chinese women, and her dark eyes were full of sincerity and kindness, which made Smith relax from his nervous state of vigilance.

"Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your trust." Chen Yiyi smiled and got up from Ye'er's side and invited Smith in.

She was dressed in a subtle half-dress evening dress, with lake-blue silk and a beige shawl, which was just like a pair of Dilian with Ye'er.

"Beautiful Miss Su has an appointment, even if the whole of Kyoto is burning, it can't stop me." Smith held Chen Yiyi's hand and wanted to imprint a kiss.

"You may be seated;" Chen Yiyi's wrist turned slightly, and Smith let go of it with interest.

Zhu Tong waited for him to sit down, pointed to a row of world-famous wines on the table, and said, "Today is just a private conversation, Mr. Smith doesn't have to be too nervous at all, what do you want to use?" Please feel free. ”

"Thanks, I've drunk it." Smith said, biting his lip.

Whatever he said, he didn't dare to drink the wine prepared by "Divine Doctor Li Xiang", although he really wanted to drink a glass or a few glasses.

"Okay, let's have tea." Zhu Tong was polite.

There was no tea set in the Tokagin Liquor House, and the simple brewed tea was not tea at all in his opinion. But Ye'er prepared a set of tea sets and poured out a cup and held it to Smith.

"Beautiful Miss Su, even a glass of poisoned wine will turn into wonderful holy water when it passes through your hands." Smith complimented a little and said; "Mr. Li, you didn't invite me here to drink something, did you?"

"Of course." Zhu Tong nodded; "I would like to discuss with you the prospects of Fuhua Shipbuilding."

"Fuhua Shipbuilding will become a great company, we are creating a shipbuilding city, Shanghai needs it, and you need it." Smith gestured contrivedly; "Don't you think so? Although there are differences between us, it does not hinder the great prospects of Fuhua Shipbuilding. ”

"Do you really think so?" I wish the child an unfathomable smile; "Mr. Smith, I'm going to the Night Ranch in an hour. Do you know why I invited you to meet at this time? ”

"Did something happen?" Smith asked, surprised.

There is nothing special, Zhu Tong will not rush to the Tianye Ranch overnight. Smith knew that it would take three hours to get to the ranch at the earliest, and it would take time to get into the ranch. If there is a slight delay, at least until tomorrow morning, it is impossible for Zhu Tong to return to Jiujin.

"Mr. Karl is now in Shanghai, do you know why he left suddenly?" Zhu Tong asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, he didn't give me a chance to say goodbye."

"Mr. Karl was almost assassinated last night, he didn't dare to stay in Kyoto, this is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can talk to him. Zhu Tong took out his mobile phone, dialed a number and handed it to Smith.

"Not for the time being, please say anything you want." Smith made several attempts to contact Carl during the day, but all of them failed. Zhu Tong's actions show that Carl is now under his protection, and it is better not to answer such calls.

"Mr. Smith, no matter how big the differences between you and me are, we hope that Fuhua Shipbuilding will sign a formal contract as soon as possible; Is that right? ”

"That's right, at least at this point, our goals are the same." Smith replied cautiously. He began to mutter: What the hell is he going to say?

"However, I have just received the news that Mr. Lehman is lobbying some friends to put pressure on him to freeze the cooperation. At the same time, Mr. Lehman is seeking passage of a bill in the United States Congress that would restrict similar cooperation. ”

Before Zhu Tong finished speaking, Smith couldn't help but stand up: "You must be a rumor, Mr. Lehman wouldn't do that." ”

Chen Yiyi said word by word: "Mr. Smith, you must have many friends, from now on, you have twenty-four hours to verify the truth of the facts. We're still here tomorrow night, and the final decision must be made then. It should be noted that no matter what kind of answer you get, the shares of United Shipbuilding in Fuhua Shipbuilding will not exceed 43%, which is our bottom line. ”

"I'll find out in a moment." Smith pulled out his phone and began to verify.

Zhu Tong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded to Chen Yiyi. In that case, it's better for her to say it.

Ten minutes later, Smith put down his phone; He already had a vague answer.

"If you tell the truth, we're all in big trouble. I would like to know, is the source of your news reliable? ”

"Last night, the murderer who went to Hayada Hospital to try to assassinate Carl was your special assistant, Mr. Wenger. He also wanted to kill me. "Zhu Tong took out the syringe seized from Wenger's body;" There's something very special in it, and it's called: Camellia. Mr. Smith, please think calmly: Why did you suddenly lose support? Why did Lord Hamilton and Mr. Lehman withdraw from the United Ship so early? And in this negotiation, apart from you and me, is there anyone else's mind at the negotiating table? If what I'm saying is true, who has more to lose? ”

Smith knew exactly what the "Camellia" was, and he stared at the tiny syringe.

Zhu Tong's words reminded Smith that the recent situation was indeed not quite right. Mr. Lehman and Lord Hamilton are a level above him, and they will not lose sight of the prospects of Fuhua Shipbuilding and the huge rewards that can be obtained after signing the contract. For no particular reason, it is impossible for them to give up the low-hanging fruit.

"Can I talk to Carl? I've always thought of him as a father. Smith looked at the phone on the table.

Ten minutes earlier, he had refused to touch the phone and speak to Carl. Now, he needs to listen to the old-timers.

Zhu Tong dialed the number again, and before handing it to Smith, he said, "Pay attention to the call, this phone is not encrypted." You know Mr. Wenger's background better than I do. ”

Smith nodded, took the phone and began to talk to Carl.

There was a deep tacit understanding between the two, chatting about seemingly unrelated topics, and after three minutes, Smith hung up.

"What do you think I should do?" Seeing what happened to Carl, Smith inevitably felt sad that the rabbit had died.

In terms of status, Carl belongs to the core members of the committee, not to mention him. In terms of investment, Smith invested almost all of his net worth in the Fuhua shipbuilding project because of greed, and Carl, as one of the initiators, also invested a considerable share. If Howard Shipbuilding fails, Smith may be forced to declare bankruptcy.

"Conclude the negotiations as soon as possible and sign the official documents."

"But if it's that bad, there's no point in us signing a contract." Smith was frustrated.

"I won't discuss specific issues tonight" Zhu Tong looked at his watch and stood up; "As you can see, Mr. Smith, Lord Hamilton is wasting all of our time. He is not a mediator, but a blocker. I don't think we'll have more than two months left. Until then, we need to face the difficulties together. I must remind you to be sure to take care of your own safety! ”

Smith opened his mouth, and a few words swirled in his throat into a few muffled shocks.

"Mr. Li, you have to take care too." He quickly understood Zhu Tong's kindness.
