My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 490 - 490 490 Think you can trap me

490: Chapter 490: Think you can trap me?

Not so easy!

490: Chapter 490: Think you can trap me?

Not so easy!

The atmosphere was deadly silent!

All of a sudden, a hush fell over the room!

Inside the meeting room, everyone was somewhat stunned.

What on earth did Wu Jie mean by suddenly throwing his knife onto the table at the slightest disagreement?

And to say he was a pig slaughterer…

Clearly a senior executive of Tanglong Industrial Group, yet he mocked himself as a butcher!

What did he mean by that?

Was he implying that the three international giants present were pigs?

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Thomson’s mouth, his eyes slightly squinting, with more anger than shock in his gaze.

“Mr.

Wu, please mind your negotiating attitude!

We’re here with ample sincerity!”

Thomson said loudly, summoning his courage.

Wu Jie picked up the Broad-bladed Combat Knife, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his brows furrowing slightly as he inspected the finely crafted knife.

This Broad-bladed Combat Knife, made of composite materials, was very comfortable to handle, fitting well whether clutching it normally or in reverse.

The most critical aspect was…

The knife was neither too light nor too heavy; swinging, chopping, and stabbing all felt incredibly agile.

Moreover, it was extremely sharp and tough.

To use such an excellent knife for slaughtering pigs…

would, of course, be a pity.

However, Thomson’s words really infuriated Wu Jie.

“What do you mean by minding my negotiating attitude?

Am I not showing sincerity?”

Wu Jie placed the knife down, giving a cold, sideways glance:

“As I’ve already said, I’m just a pig slaughterer with a knife on me.

What’s the problem with that?”

“Look at you all, scared stiff.

Is that necessary?

This isn’t some high-explosive grenade—what are you afraid of?”

“Compared to the day when you had the Youth Army of Aseyah create that series of explosions, the power and bloodshed of that event were something a knife could never match.”

Joseph, the President of Nuoximen NSN, said loudly:

“It seems Mr.

Wu has misunderstood us.

Our request for a secret agreement was never meant with ill will, it was merely self-defense.”

Wu Jie chuckled, “Self-defense?

What kind of bullshit self-defense?”

“Are you afraid we’ll be insatiable, constantly blackmailing and extorting you afterward?”

“Are you afraid we’ll be faithless, taking the benefits but then exposing and ruining you?”

“You all deny hiring someone to create the explosion, so what right do you have to make us admit to illegal intrusion?”

“Please!

You think because you’re cunning, deceitful, and shameless that everyone else is like you?

Can’t you think straight for once?”

His barrage of retorts left everyone speechless.

After a long silence, Heinter, the Chairman of Langsi CSA, spoke up with a slightly lifted head:

“Not signing a secret agreement is fine, but could we consider signing a strategic alliance agreement instead?”

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow.

“What’s this new trick of yours?

Let’s hear it then!”

Heinter explained:

“We won’t mention past events anymore; your side won’t bring up the bombing incidents, and we won’t talk about the cyber intrusion.

Any private compensation that has been agreed upon verbally will be honored.”

“However, to foster mutual trust, our four companies will sign a global strategic alliance agreement—to exchange advanced technology, share technology patents, and maintain cyber security…”

Wu Jie quickly grasped the idea.

Heinter wanted, since they couldn’t candidly admit to their respective crimes, to instead bind them all together.

Especially Tanglong Industrial Group.

Becoming ‘allies’ with the three international giants meant there would be no reason to secretly sell trade secrets or destroy the other companies.

Compared to Thomson’s bullshit secret agreement, Wu Jie actually felt this strategic alliance agreement was relatively better.

Once signed, it would be like joining the league of the four international giants.

Of course, it was only ‘relatively’ better.

Heinter’s proposal still had its pitfalls.

The simplest point.

Before becoming ‘allies,’ Tanglong Industrial Group could globally source components, choosing those with the best cost-performance ratio.

Whether domestically produced or foreign, as long as they performed well and were reasonably priced, they could be purchased for use.

But once they became ‘allies,’ they would have to prioritize buying products from the three companies.

A domestically produced server that used to cost a few thousand yuan to meet their needs

would likely cost twice as much if purchased from them.

This fact alone could lead to increased hardware costs for future projects, significantly reducing profits.

What a total scam!

Beyond that.

What “mutually maintaining cybersecurity”…

This is simply another huge pitfall.

The situation is quite clear now.

All those years for the three companies to meticulously develop their defense systems, yet they all have more or less some vulnerabilities.

Each vulnerability is a major security risk.

If we become allies, wouldn’t that mean we’re left to wipe their asses?

Once someone exploits a vulnerability to launch a cyberattack against them, the group would also have to join the battle to help them.

In short.

The strategic cooperation agreement proposed by Heinter, though it seemingly elevates Tanglong Industrial Group, in reality?

It’s nothing more than them wanting to tie us together, for better or worse.

“…After signing the agreement, there are only advantages and not a single disadvantage, I think Mr.

Wu should seriously consider it!”

After Heinter finished speaking, he bowed slightly with the grace of a gentleman.

What a smiling tiger!

You mention all the benefits but keep quiet about the drawbacks!

Wu Jie picked up the Broad-bladed Combat Knife, lightly picking at the scabs under his nails with its point.

“No matter if it’s good or bad, you all just sit down first!”

“I’m a butcher, not a murderer!

What are you afraid of?”

“Do you think you are pigs?”

Wu Jie snorted lightly with a chuckle.

After a round of eye contact, everyone then returned to their seats.

No sooner had they sat down than Thomson stated, “I support Heinter’s view.

Let’s not discuss, much less sign, any secretive agreement with huge controversy.”

Joseph also nodded, “I support Heinter too!”

Wu Jie put down the knife and snorted, “But I disagree!”

Before anyone could question him, Wu Jie sneered:

“Although each of your three companies has been established for a long time in the network communication industry, with broad business coverage, abundant technical accumulation, and a rich variety of products, our group really has no need to tie ourselves to you!”

“Network communication is just one of our group’s business areas.

We also dabble in other industries, so Heinter, you talk about mutual benefits, but where do I see them exactly?”

“You might have a slight lead in hardware equipment, but what else is there that’s worth learning from?

A great King, yet dragging along three Bronzes to a likely death, why?”

“As for cross-holding shares, our group’s stocks are soaring, the future share prices will be high, while you have already reached a certain bottleneck stage, with lukewarm share prices.

How much future is there in holding more shares?”

Thomson’s face immediately darkened.

“Mr.

Wu, you think you’re above the three international giants, don’t you?”

Wu Jie shook his head:

“It’s not that I look down on you, but that I simply don’t value you!

We were all minding our own business, so why stir things up?

Got nothing better to do?”

“According to the conditions provided by my wife, if you follow them, I can guarantee we will have peace for at least four months.

Isn’t that enough?”

“Don’t tell me that in four months, you can’t fix the system vulnerabilities and still risk being invaded again.

What kind of international giants are you then?

Might as well announce bankruptcy and disband!”

Heinter was somewhat embarrassed.

“You don’t agree to a secret agreement or sign a strategic cooperation agreement, so how can we trust you in the long term?”

“Long-term trust?”

Wu Jie laughed loudly, “Please!

Business is a battlefield!

It’s already not bad that you aren’t suddenly thrown into life and death crises, what more do you want?”

“Want to sleep easy forever?

That’s possible!

After four months, each of you can just pay fifty billion Gold Coins every month, or the equivalent in other foreign currencies.

As long as the payment is full and on time, I guarantee I’ll keep the secrets and won’t spread the word!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s face turned green.

Fifty billion Gold Coins a month!

This is outright extortion!

Fifty billion!

And in Gold Coins!

Who the hell can afford such protection money?

Even paying it once a year would be painful enough!

At this moment!

The people from the three companies looked at each other.

Had they known it would come to this, they felt it would have been better to negotiate with Tang Xiao.

This ‘butcher’ in front of them, Wu Jie, was utterly merciless, such a terrible pit!

And not only was he merciless, but also damn shrewd.

Who else could quickly realize that the strategic cooperation agreement was also filled with countless traps?

Trying to trap Wu Jie, savvy as he was, proved too difficult!

How could they possibly negotiate further?
