462: Chapter 462: Can’t Help But Admit It!

Meeting!

Meeting overnight!

No matter where you are or what you’re doing.

Inside the three corporate giants, meetings were rapidly organized.

This was a crisis concerning life and death, a moment to decide fate!

The executives of each company were truly filled with regret.

If they had known the other side was so impulsive, so quick to extremes, why did they let the Aseyah Youth Army stir up trouble?

This is just great, now they’re practically killing themselves!

Tanglong Industrial Group…

definitely not a pushover!

They’re tough as nails!

Not only can you not crush them, but they’ve almost stabbed you to death!

You really can’t help but admire them!

…

This matter is of great importance!

All companies first went about confirming.

According to the directory of data in the emails, they arranged for their elite technical forces to quickly search.

The results were frightening.

There were absolutely no signs of intrusion or copying to be seen, yet the contents of the emails were indeed real.

Such ‘divine’ technology also matched the superior skills that the opponent had demonstrated during the tech competition.

The so-called defense systems were completely like sieves, full of holes.

And the most panic-stricken were Nuoximen NSN and CSA.

In the tech competition, the two of them were ‘instantly killed’ out of nowhere.

All electronic equipment was directly formatted, reverted to factory settings.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness this time, the other side was threatening for money, extorting.

They did not ‘format’ them; otherwise, these two companies would probably have already kneeled by now.

Years of technology accumulation, project information, corporate secrets, all gone with the wind.

It would inevitably drag down a large number of customers, kneeling alongside them.

Transportation, energy, insurance, banking, internet…

many industry enterprise users would not be spared.

For instance, if the depositors at their banking clients suddenly found the money in their accounts gone.

The hard-earned savings of a lifetime, the retirement money saved up, the wife’s private stash, all gone, what kind of horrific disaster would that trigger?

Clients in the internet industry, providing services like gaming, chatting, and live streaming to many netizens.

If they were to suddenly drop offline en masse, without even an account left, what kind of tragedy would that be?

And as for causing planes to lose control, trains to derail, factories to shut down…

all of these are simply unimaginable.

The three corporate giants, thinking themselves so domineering!

Thinking that by finding the Aseyah Youth Army to barbarically stir up trouble, they could intimidate Wu Jie and Tang Xiao…

But what was the result?

They were too naive!

They totally forgot, they were defeated in the tech competition, beaten till they were in complete disarray.

Having lost in the tech competition, without a sense of awe, they instead threatened and extorted without knowing they were courting death.

Little did they know, Wu Jie and his team played by even less conventional rules!

Isn’t this the classic ‘courting death if you don’t mess around’?

If nobody bothers me, I won’t bother them!

If someone bothers me, I’ll eradicate them root and branch!

A hotheaded opponent is really one you can’t afford to provoke!

In short!

This time, the three corporate giants really kicked steel!

They’re enjoying it too much!

As a result, many people from the top management, major shareholders, accounting firms, etc.

of the three giants all ‘joyfully received’ overtime work, busier than ever.

And the core issue had shifted from how to confirm and track down the perpetrator to how to survive the crisis.

Pay the money?

Of course, it was necessary to pay, but one hundred million Gold Coins, that’s almost like selling them!

Change one million Gold Coins to one billion Gold Coins.

The three companies could readily accept that.

After all, once the secret data got out, it wouldn’t be something a hundred billion Gold Coins could smooth over.

Countless people like vultures, cheetahs, and lions would swoop in to scavenge the carcass, all too eager to claim a share.

But…

Would paying the money solve the problem in the long term?

Not if they pay today and are asked for more tomorrow, over and over again, relentless extortion.

Turning the three global giants into ATMs?

Therefore.

The elites of the major companies were frantically thinking of strategies.

Exhausting all means to find advantageous conditions, so they might negotiate with Tanglong Industrial Group.

At this critical juncture of life and death, no one dared think about continuing the conflict.

If things escalated, they would certainly be the first to fall.

And Tanglong Industrial Group, which always operated legally and in compliance, could at worst abandon the overseas market and retreat to defend domestically.

Who would dare to take them on then?

If it’s not good to escalate the situation further, then try to find a way to compromise and negotiate.

Firstly.

They urged the Aseyah Youth Army to find every possible way to notify Tanglong Industrial Group as quickly as they could.

They would never interfere with their winning the bid, nor pose any threat to the implementation of their project.

Next.

A reparation of one hundred million gold coins was terrifying.

Three times that amount for the three companies combined would be three hundred million gold coins!

According to the assessment report provided by Swiss banks last year, the total wealth of all humanity was only a little over two hundred million gold coins.

They were publicly listed companies; reallocating funds in large amounts would expose them to significant financial risks.

They couldn’t afford to pay too much in cash.

Could some of the reparation payment be substituted with licensing their proprietary technologies instead?

Having established themselves in multiple industries over the years, they had accrued a wealth of patents.

Just the fees they collected annually for the use of their patents earned them a tidy sum.

If Tanglong Industrial Group wanted them, all patents could be licensed for free, permanently.

Lastly.

Could a secret negotiation be conducted?

They might consider joining forces, to jointly carve up the global information and communications market.

Tanglong Industrial Group taking the lead, with their three companies as subordinates?

As long as they were spared from bankruptcy and ruin, everything was negotiable.

…

After the meeting, all three companies responded to the email with identical content!

And considering that they were indeed wrong about the series of explosions, which posed a threat to Wu Jie and Tang Xiao’s personal safety,

Anyone would be righteously infuriated and deeply upset by such an incident.

Therefore, to show sufficient sincerity and convey their heartfelt apologies,

All three companies attached transfer screenshots in their emails.

Each sent two hundred million gold coins as a gesture of apology for the explosion incident.

Sending the email, it was truly a case of “man proposes, god disposes”.

…

The night was vast.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao arrived at the airport without any hitches.

Just as they settled into the corporate jet, Cai Xu called, his voice charged with excitement.

“President Tang, great news!

The broker suddenly called me back and said they don’t want a penny anymore!”

“They said they suddenly realized that this project benefits the nation and the people and is good for them, too!”

“So, the Aseyah Youth Army will assist us with security for no charge to ensure the project proceeds smoothly!”

“They even said that whether it’s land acquisition and demolition or the use of water, electricity, and land, whoever disturbs this is against them!”

“This is such a drastic change in attitude!

I…

I really didn’t expect them to change their minds this quickly!”

Cai Xu was overflowing with excitement, his tone filled with exhilaration.

Tang Xiao replied with a light smile.

“Then just wait to sign the contract, and don’t forget to apply for the project commission bonus!”

“Absolutely!

Definitely!

Thank you, President Tang.

I wish you a safe journey!”

After TANG Xiao acknowledged with a hum, she hung up, checked the anonymous account for any financial movements, and noticed an email alert.

“We’ve received three huge sums.

They must be from the three ruffians.

You should quickly check your email; they must have replied!”

Wu Jie rolled over lazily on the bed.

He peeked at Tang Xiao’s phone and scoffed, frowning:

“Wasn’t it supposed to be three hundred million gold coins?

Why’d they only give so little?”

Tang Xiao snorted with laughter.

“Keep dreaming!

Even if you took over their three companies, they aren’t worth that much!”

“Quickly get on your computer and see how they’ve responded!”

As she spoke, Tang Xiao went to get Wu Jie’s backpack and placed the laptop in front of him.

“Don’t just sit there; hurry up and check!”

Wu Jie smirked: “What difference does it make, to check or not?

Now that they’ve been caught by the throat and realized the severity, they wouldn’t dare to mess around.

They will definitely offer to pay and ask to negotiate!”

“You just need to contact them directly.

We all know what’s going on, no need for pretense.

Why should I bother to disguise the address, log into an anonymous email, and read their nonsense?

Isn’t this just making an unnecessary fuss?”

Tang Xiao paused.

“That’s true!

We’ve already laid our cards on the table!”

Wu Jie laughed: “Dad loves dealing with these foreigners.

His principles are strong; he doesn’t tolerate any loss.

I think it’s best to let him handle negotiations with those three ruffians.

Can’t go wrong with that!”

“Right!”

Tang Xiao laughed in agreement:

“Why didn’t I think of that?

Since he’s not busy, I’ll let him handle this!”

Saying so, Tang Xiao quickly called her father on an international call.

Not interested in eavesdropping, Wu Jie immediately got up to freshen up, taking a hot shower.

When he returned to lie on the bed in his underwear, Tang Xiao’s phone call was almost over.

“…

Yeah, since we have what they desperately need, they wouldn’t dare to make a move.

We’ve set a deadline that’s far from approaching, and they’ve already deposited two hundred million into the account, indicating that their attitude is quite positive.

Take your time to negotiate with them!”

“Haha!

Of course, a thorough negotiation is necessary!

This is a rare opportunity for me to shine for the country!”

Tang Long laughed heartily, then suddenly asked, “By the way, where’s Jie?

Why do I only hear you talking, what’s he up to?”

“He…

has already gone to sleep!

Alright, our plane is about to take off.

We should land in Tianyuan by tomorrow afternoon around two or three o’clock.

You can talk to him then!”

After finishing the call, Tang Xiao hung up and immediately grabbed Wu Jie’s ear fiercely.

“You little rascal!

Fumbling around while I was on the phone, are you asking for a beating?”

…

The night stretched on endlessly.

The navigation lights blinked.

The corporate jet slowly moved to one end of the runway.

With the piercing whine of the twin turbofan engines, the plane surged with speed.

Like an arrow released from a bow, it sprinted at high speed along the runway, soon soaring up into the vast dark night.

And the roaring sound of the engines drowned out the playful banter and teasing from the rest cabin at the rear of the plane…
