Along the way, I carefully interrogated Anxin about some information about Liu Changlong.
I'm a little reassured. After all, Liu Changlong is a person who eats in New York, although he has a very good relationship with the An family, but under the pressure of the Dawson family, maybe he will sell me.
Anxin told me that Liu Changlong was very reliable, but she didn't say the specific reason in detail, in short, the meaning from her words was probably that Liu Changlong and the An family "are not an ordinary relationship".
Then I learned more about some information about the Dawson family, but unfortunately this girl usually doesn't know much about the forces of this underworld, I only know that the Dawson family controls the largest drug trafficking and smuggling network in North America, and I don't know anything about other more detailed information.
It's a bit difficult, and although I have the heart to communicate with the Dawson family, I really don't have any chips in my hand that can impress them. The car was going fast, and the thoughts were spinning in my head.
The meeting place was at the "Blue Devils" club where I was last time.
Liu Changlong was a little surprised to see me -- he immediately recognized me as the policeman who had come to him last time to make trouble, and after I looked for him that day, he was so distraught that he didn't go to the wedding the next day, so he didn't see me make a big fuss about the wedding -- it is said that he spent a lot of effort to find out what I called the "murder case", but of course he found nothing.
After we shook hands, I explained the events of that day with a wry smile, and Liu Changlong looked at me with a frown. I thought he would be furious, but suddenly he shook his head and sighed: "It's dangerous, if you were the one sent by my enemy to assassinate me, I would have died a long time ago, damn it, my people were so careless and let you in casually......"
I shrugged my shoulders: "This is a common loophole in people's hearts, and everyone believes in the police. Besides, I showed my ID. β
"Okay." Liu Changlong's eyes flashed, and he spread his hands: "You must know that you have been a hot person in the past two days, and you are looking for you everywhere." Don't know what I can do for you? β
I groaned for a while, glanced at the An Liangxin brothers and sisters who were silent next to me, and said word by word: "Help me bring a message to the Dawson family, I want to talk to them." β
"What?" Liu Changlong frowned, and his face showed embarrassment: "It's not easy, now their subordinates are making trouble for you, as long as you show up, you will soon be shot to death." β
I smiled wryly, "So I have to talk to them, I don't want to die at the hands of someone else for no reason." Trust me, I can fix this. As long as you pull a string for me in the middle. β
Liu Changlong was still hesitating, and it could be seen that he had some concerns-he didn't want to wade into this troubled water. Now I'm the one who wants to know about the Dawson family, and he doesn't want to offend the Dawson family by being accused of colluding with me. Although I said that I could convince the Dawson family, it was obvious that Liu Changlong was not familiar with me, so he naturally didn't trust me very much. He still has to mess around in New York, offending the Dawson family, and his life will be sad in the future.
Just when Liu Changlong was still hesitating, An Liang said in a timely manner: "Uncle Liu, you can help with this." There should be no problem with this. β
When An Liang opened his mouth, it was obviously different. An Liang is the eldest son of the An family, that is to say, the future heir of the An family, and this identity is far more effective than me, who has no background in the United States.
Liu Changlong smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll try." After a pause, he added, "I happened to go to Dawson's house once in the evening, so I'll try my luck." β
I breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at An Liang gratefully.
Liu Changlong put on his coat and went out with his subordinates, before going out, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "You better leave me first, if the people of the Dawson family refuse to talk to you and ask me to hand you over directly, I am afraid that I will ......"
I looked at him and smiled, "In this way, you meet the Dawson family and help me pass a word to them." β
"What?"
"What?" Anxin couldn't help but ask me.
I smiled at first, and then said, "You ask them, do the Dawson family want to be an underground family only engaged in drug trafficking and smuggling forever, or do they want to become another Locke family." β
After I finished saying this sentence in a hurry, Liu Changlong's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he looked me up and down carefully, as if he had seen me for the first time. After a full ten seconds, he whispered, "Young man, do you have such confidence? β
I said lightly: "If you go, I'll wait with you, if they don't agree and force you to hand over, you can just hand me over, I don't blame you." β
Liu Changlong suddenly laughed and said loudly: "Okay! You kid is so kind, and I, Liu Changlong, am not a coward. Don't worry, even if old Dawson puts a gun at my head, I will never hand you over! β
After Liu Changlong left, An Liang stared at me with a strange gaze, as if he wanted to see me through as a person.
Anxin couldn't help but say: "The Locke family you are talking about, is it the ......?"
I nodded, "Yes, I mean the Locke family!" β
The Locke family, the largest arms dealer in North America - what is the most profitable business in the world? Not drugs, of course, but arms! After World War II, the United States, which had earned enough money from Europeans on arms, had the capital to develop into the number one power at once. In the United States, it is impossible for a pure businessman like An Jia, a pure commercial company like Microsoft, and even less a pure underworld force like the Dawson family that controls the will of the upper echelons. However, those arms dealers who control the supply of national arms can control even the will of the state.
Because they have money! Why can't the United States pass that gun control law for so many years? Why does the President of the United States dare to wage so many wars around the world? Because there are those arms dealers behind who control too many forces!
The Locke family, the largest arms dealer in the United States, is no longer comparable to a family like Dawson. Dawson is nothing more than the head of the underworld, and the Locke family can even influence the election of the president of the United States......
"How dare you brag!" Anxin looked at me unconvinced: "If the Dawson family cooperates with you, will you be able to reach the level of the Locke family?" You're going to do an arms business with them? β
"Of course not. How can I be in the arms business? I shrugged my shoulders: "But I can give them a way, give them a hope...... After all, this is not a war year, although there are still local wars in the world, but it cannot be like World War I, World War II, that is the golden age of arms dealers, and now it is no longer possible to make arms in this year, even if the Dawson family wants to do it, those existing arms giants will not allow him to develop. β
An Liang suddenly spoke: "Chen Yang, I just found out today that you are really special. β
"Oh?"
An Liang thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Maybe you are the one who is really suitable for Yang Wei." You're the same people as she is, you're both smart, adventurous, and imaginative......"
I could feel that An Liang's smile was sincere and heartfelt.
I sighed and smiled, "Thank you." An Liang, you are indeed a good person, if there is no Yang Wei, maybe we can become good friends. β
I'm telling the truth.
I knew that I couldn't be the kind of really good friend with An Liang anymore - because of Yang Wei's relationship.
I've never believed that two men who are rivals in love with each other can be really good friends. Even if the two can let go of their past suspicions, it is impossible to establish the most intimate friendship. We are all men who can let go and see, but we are not saints after all.
The wait time is very long.
Although I look confident on the surface, I don't know the bottom inside.
Whether the Dawson family will be moved by my words, I am not sure yet.
Although this thing seems ridiculous - can I impress the Dawson family with just one word from me??
But don't forget, I'm Chen Yang. It was Chen Yang, who was once regarded by many media as a rising star and a legend in the business world, and I went back and forth between Yuanda and Henkel and Yang Wei's company, and then used an amazing plan to change the fate of these three companies. Although I am just an executor and a chess piece in this plan, in the eyes of the outside world, these are all made by me Chen Yang! ββIn a word, a lot of the media see me as a person who can do miracles!
If an ordinary person said this to the Dawson family, maybe others would think that this person was crazy. But when such words came out of my Chen Yang's mouth, they had to carefully consider the possible surnames in my words.
To put it simply, my previous experiences have become an intangible capital for me.
I lit a cigarette in a hurry, and sat on the sofa with a calm expression on my face, but my palms were sweaty.
What if the person in charge of the Iamori family is an idiot? What if they are desperate to cooperate with Wang Hao? These are all possible.
But I still have to pretend to be calm and confident.
When Chen Yuan was training me, he once said to me: If you yourself show that you are not confident, then how can you infect others and make others believe in you? Even if you don't have a score in your heart, you have to pretend to be full of confidence! Confidence, sometimes it's just pretending!!
It was getting dark, I first called Yang Wei to report my safety, I didn't tell Yang Wei in detail about my plan on the phone, after all, things are still unclear. It's just that Yang Wei told me one thing, she just saw the latest news in today's newspaper, Wang Hao has officially become the chairman of IBB, and Wang Hao announced to the media that he will not give up the interests of IBB in Henkel in Germany. In other words, after Wang Hao took control of IBB, he was ready to wrestle with Chen Yuan. At the same time, Wang Hao's first thing was to fire me, the CEO of IBB, who was sent to Henkel.
I laughed: "This guy is crazy. Henkel's piece of fat, Wang Ting and you were not able to snatch it from Chen Yuan at the beginning, and now he has a badly injured IBB, but he still wants to challenge Chen Yuan......"
After hanging up the phone, I closed my eyes and recuperated, so I didn't care about losing the title of president of Henkel. Anyway, I've done everything I wanted to do, and I've used Henkel to make a lot of money for myself. Now he has suddenly fired me, and according to the contract, he has to pay me a liquidated damages. I gained almost a million dollars more.
I even maliciously thought that it would be better for Wang Hao to refuse to pay me liquidated damages, and then I would fight a lawsuit with him justifiably - once this lawsuit is made, as long as the media is properly publicized in China, my own company will be known immediately - this is much easier than spending money on advertising myself!
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Changlong returned.
He didn't look like he had any expression on his face, but as soon as he entered, he looked at me with a strange look.
I resisted the intense curiosity and anxiety in my heart, and waited for him to speak first--to do the whole show!
After a long time, he finally couldn't help it: "Chen Yang, how did you do it?" β
I smiled, this time from the bottom of my heart. As soon as he said that, I knew it had worked.
Liu Changlong shook his head and said slowly: "I went to see old Dawson, and just said that you want to cooperate with them and talk about it, but I was immediately pointed at my head by the old wolf Buck and five or six people under the Dawson family. They refused without hesitation and demanded that I hand him over immediately. Old Dawson looked at me with murderous intent. β
Speaking of this, Liu Changlong glanced up at me and said, "Do you know, you were originally destined to die, and the person you killed in the conflict on the highway was a distant nephew of a member of the Dawson family. β
"And what about later?" An An couldn't help but ask first.
"Later? Later, I passed on Chen Yang's words to them. β
An An showed a strange look in his eyes: "And then they changed their attitudes?" β
"No, it's not that simple." Liu Changlong shook his head: "Old Dawson didn't speak, but several family management members of their family expressed their disdain for Chen Yang. β
"And then?" I asked unhurriedly.
Liu Changlong looked at me and said, "Then old Dawson's son, Mike; Dawson spoke, and he said he thought he could talk to you first and see what you could bring to them. β
I immediately stood up, picked up my coat, and said lightly, "Okay, where are we going?" β
Liu Changlong looked at me in surprise: "How do you know that he is going to talk to you now?" β
I put on my coat and walked out, smiling and saying, "Quite simply, this McDonson seems to be a very shrewd and courageous man, otherwise he wouldn't have decided to talk to me because of my words, so I guess he must want to see me as soon as possible, and smart people don't like to waste their time waiting - am I right?" β
Liu Changlong suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that Mike didn't guess wrong. β
"Oh?" I was a little surprised, stopped and looked back at Liu Changlong.
Liu Changlong smiled meaningfully: "Mike said, you must be anxious to meet, his words are like this, 'Chen Yang's life is in danger at all times, for his own life, he must be more anxious than me.'" That's what I said. β
I smiled faintly, but a strange feeling secretly rose in my heart - it seems that this son of the Dawson family is probably a difficult person to deal with.
