Chapter 40: Talking About Business (2)
In a certain corridor of Warsaw's Royal Castle, the snow-white marble and gold leaf reflect the bright lights, and the voices of speech echo in it, and the sound and light are stacked in the corridor, making this golden corridor seem particularly deep.
Cheng Mo stood at the side entrance of the hall, while Napoleon VII and his bodyguards stood in the middle of the corridor.
Napoleon VII put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and the white lace bow tie also shook slightly, Cheng Mo's humility made him let down his guard a little, so he said: "I don't know your organization, I don't know you as a person, there is no trust between us, you don't have a credible institution to endorse you, I can't trust your intelligence..... So, all you want to say is that, and you can leave. ”
Cheng Mo was not sure about convincing Napoleon VII, and to be honest, he had no confidence in the correctness of Li Jiting's intelligence, Li Jiting only said the cause of the incident in a general way, and did not say the source of the intelligence at all, Cheng Mo guessed that it was information from the Chinese intelligence system, but this point was not only Cheng Mo's speculation, but it was still impossible to mention.
However, since he took over this task, Cheng Mo could only try his best to complete it, so he looked into Napoleon VII's eyes with sincerity, "Your Excellency, I hope you can think about it more, I think it is difficult for you to find an intelligence organization in Europe that dares to risk offending the church and serves you, maybe you think you can trust something like Ipsos or Frost/ Sullivan, but I think you also know that big organizations will not work for you, their information may be more reliable, but it will also be vague in terms of direction, involving sensitive areas, and they will not even accept commissioned investigations, let alone take the initiative to remind you..... And our organization is small, but all of them are heretics with carriers..... As long as the price is right, we dare to get any information you want to get, but it is not convenient to sell..... I don't think Ipsos or Sullivan would dare to do that. ”
Hearing Cheng Mo's words, Napoleon VII did not speak, nor did he move his steps to leave, obviously Cheng Mo moved him, although the Napoleonic family has its own sources of intelligence, but most of these information come from the network of European nobles, ordinary news will be transmitted relatively quickly, but when it comes to the church and the government, the response speed of this network will be relatively weak, especially the church.
Like this time, when his father was killed and the "cross bee" disappeared, he got the news relatively late.
At this time, Li Jiting said to Cheng Mo on the team's internal channel: "That's right, institutions like Ipsos and Sullivan really won't work for the Napoleon family, but some intelligence dealers on the dark web are not necessarily, such as 'Black Lightning' or 'Hurricane's Breath', both of which are more famous intelligence traffickers on the dark web..... You could say our organization is called ..... It's called 'Peach Blossom Luck'...... There is no better luck than peach blossom luck..... Of course, I don't think you will like it, or we call it 'Shunfeng Express', which should be a good name, right?"
Li Jiting's joke Cheng Mo didn't bother to respond at all, is it important what the name of the organization is? It doesn't matter what an organization is called if it has not yet established credit.
Seeing that Napoleon VII seemed to be shaken, Cheng Mo then said in a deep voice: "Of course, there are some intelligence dealers such as 'Black Lightning' and 'Hurricane's Breath' on the dark web, I think they don't even dare to show up in front of you, so they will be more reliable than us..... Our organization wants to build more than just a business relationship with you, but a long-term relationship....."
"Heretics are both your advantage and your disadvantage, and the focus of intelligence work is on the quantity and quality of intelligence information collected and entered, and the second is authenticity..... According to you, the vast majority of your organization should be Chinese, and it is difficult for the Chinese to integrate into Europe, let alone obtain important information. ”
"We speak with facts, for example, we know that the relationship between you and your father is not as bad as the outside world speculates, I think for you, the 'cross bee' is important, but the revenge of your father should be even more important!"
"Hey! Cheng Mo, I told you that the relationship between their father and son is very bad, and the world is even more cruel than you think, especially the competition between the big family for the inheritance and the head of the family, the title snake watch, is extremely bloody, no less than the competition for the throne, you can't make such irresponsible speculation because of your own feelings......!
"I'm sure of my judgment. Cheng Mo responded to Li Jiting.
At this moment, Napoleon VII's expression became solemn, as if he was provoked, there was light gathering in his eyes, and then his fierce burning gaze shot towards Cheng Mo, and then he looked at Cheng Mo and said in a cold tone: "You actually dare to spy on me?"
There was an irrepressible murderous aura in this cold gaze, and the guards next to Napoleon VII seemed to tense their muscles, like leopards ready to pounce on their prey.
The long and narrow corridor was filled with a murderous atmosphere, and a huge pressure swept towards Cheng Mo, but Cheng Mo was very calm, and the more angry Napoleon VII was, the more accurate his guess was.
"Your Excellency, in life we are not only snooping on others, but also being spied on by others, and it is not only us who are interested in you, but also gossip media, business organizations and even churches and your friends, although we are facing each other, our lives are not like this straight corridor at the moment, but a labyrinth, on top of the high walls, there are countless people in the corners you don't know are spying on your direction, some will try to confuse you, some will want to guide you, and some will be willing to help you in the best way to find your way..... With a little bit of trust, a door will open to you, and it may not necessarily lead to the future you want, but you will find that it will be a good one..... It is our job to pry into other people's secrets, and I would like to apologize to you if our work has made you feel unpleasant!" said Finisher and bowed slightly to Napoleon VII.
"To express our apologies, our organization can first provide you with a message about your father's death and a message about the death of your father. Shirkov's Russians are related, this person is a descendant of the Shirkov family, after the fall of Tsarist Russia, the Shirkov family became a declining aristocracy in Russia, in the early years, the Grand Duke Shirkov was also an official sent by Russia to China, responsible for the construction of the Far East, the Grand Duke Shirkov lived in Harbin for a long time, and there were actually descendants left in our country, and Filaret has been living in France....."
Li Jiting made a fuss and said on the internal channel: "You just sent out the news that I got with great difficulty? I didn't get any benefits, it's really a loss, right? I know that you are hanging a big fish for a long time, and you are reluctant to let the child trap the wolf..... Let's put forward some conditions!"
"Uncle Lee, I guess Napoleon VII is not the kind of person who is stingy, as long as this source of yours is correct, he will not be stingy. ”
Cheng Mo didn't make any requests, and suddenly said an important piece of information, so that Napoleon VII's attention immediately shifted to Filaret Dmitrievich Shirkov, and also lowered his guard against Cheng Mo, Napoleon VII said in a deep voice: "If this information you give is true, I will give you a reasonable reward.....
"Your Excellency, it is a great honor that you are willing to try to trust our organization, if there is anything you need to consult, please send an email to this XXXXXX mailbox, we are ready to provide you with the service you need most. ”
Napoleon VII nodded, indicating that he remembered his email address.
"Then I'll take my leave. Cheng Mo bowed slightly again, then turned around and left the corridor and walked into the hall.
Cheng Mo looked towards the position where Li Jiting began to stand, where he and the brown-haired girl were gone, Cheng Mo looked around and searched, and was about to ask Li Jiting where he was on the team channel, when he heard Li Jiting say on the team channel: "Loser! I'll go first..... You can also go back, and the task of liaising with Napoleon VII will be entrusted to you later. If you can't get the money back, you're ready to sign a deed of sale!!"
