The day after the list was finalized, Xiao Zheng met the North American oil king on the recommendation of Gandolf. .A little old man who is nearly seventy years old.
Perhaps because of his age, Mojica's height has shrunk to less than 1.7 meters. According to the little old man's self-introduction, in the 1970s and 1980s, he was a popular playboy in New York City. A true representative of handsome men.
Regarding this, Xiao Zheng could only interpret this phenomenon as the fact that even the United States was suffering from malnutrition at that time. Otherwise, how could this little old man be a playboy
However, the little old man's self-introduction still opened up the situation for Xiao Zheng very well.
Mojica is a good person. Although she is older, she does not have much generation gap with Xiao Zheng. Also very talkative.
But just when Xiao was about to get into the topic and discuss with Mojika about the alliance leader meeting five days later, the little old man suddenly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Xiao, I know your reason for coming. But I can't answer this question for the time being. Your answer."
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng was not surprised at all, but still asked curiously. "For what reason?"
"I really didn't want to compete for the number one spot in the world. After all, I'm too old." Mojika said with a smile. "But I believe that many people want to win my vote. Boss Xiao, if you were me, would you give this vote away easily?"
"Indeed not." Xiao Zheng nodded frankly.
"So - let's just talk about romance today, not business." The little old man waved, and several beautiful maids waiting nearby came to greet him.
Xiao Zheng politely rejected the maid's kindness. He lit a cigarette in silence.
In the successive meetings over the next few days, Xiao Zheng failed to win a single vote for himself. Although this is completely reasonable for Xiao Zheng's current situation. But after all, Gandolf came forward to introduce him.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I heard that not many people met with Lin Laoyao. But basically they expressed their support for him." Gandolf said something to make things worse. He smiled bitterly. "It's very bad for us now."
He also didn't expect that no one would support Xiao Zheng even when he came forward. This also made him somewhat embarrassed.
But on the other hand, Gandolf also fully understood the original intentions of those people.
First of all, one person has one vote. If you don't compete, everyone wants to maximize the value of this vote. Furthermore, even if you can't maximize your chances, you still have to choose a team with an advantage at the last minute.
For example, Lin Laoyao finally won. And Xiao Zheng spent a lot of money to buy a few votes. In the end, will those voters be satisfied
No one lacks that benefit. So what really matters is not who can offer the starting price. But who can provide long-term benefits.
Therefore, it is basically reasonable for Xiao Zheng not to get a single vote.
But Xiao Zheng expected Lin Laoyao to get the ticket. After all, Lin Laoyao is already well-known in China. In New York, he rarely came over. But its terrifying influence has already spread around the world.
Even Wall Street tycoons like Gandolf Justin are in awe of Old Yao Lin.
How could those big guys on the list not admire Lin Laoyao so much
This is why Lao Lin hopes that Xiao Zheng will withdraw from this battle.
Everyone guessed it. Lin Laoyao's move was to force Xiao Zheng back. It even made him dare not compete with himself.
But Xiao Zheng didn't believe in this evil.
He must completely defeat Lin Laoyao when he is at his strongest.
Only in this way can his future retirement be more enjoyable and valuable.
"It's not like I've never encountered headwinds." Xiao Zheng shrugged. "Whether it's before, now, or in the future, I think there will be many situations like this. But retreating if you encounter difficulties is not my style. I don't want to give up easily."
Gandolf sighed: "But the situation in front of us is indeed very difficult for us."
Gandolf counted them. Counting Xiao Zheng's vote, he can only occupy two votes at present. And Gandolf also believes that in addition to Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao, at least three people will participate in the election.
In other words, he is racing against four people. Even if one person gets one vote, the division is almost completely divided. As the most advantageous Lin Laoyao, I only have three to four votes, so I can basically sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
How else could Xiao Zheng fight against Old Demon Lin
After these days of trying, Gandolf was a little discouraged. Although he will not shrink from the battle, he will even vote for others. But he wanted to help Xiao Zheng open up the situation and even win the position of alliance leader. The difficulty has become too great to overcome.
Xiao Zheng's competitor is not just Lin Laoyao. Even if his biggest competitor is Lin Laoyao. But others dividing the votes was a fatal blow to Xiao Zheng.
In Gandolf's view, Xiao Zheng needs at least four votes to be sure of victory. And once Lin Laoyao performs exceptionally, he may need five votes.
For Xiao Zheng, this was basically an impossible task.
Because among the people Gandolf introduced Xiao Zheng to contact, no one was interested in leaving their votes to Xiao Zheng.
Even though he is so talented and so young.
There are only three days left before the meeting. Gandolf did not continue to accompany Xiao Zheng to do useless work. In fact, he has already made full use of his personal network resources. But in fact, it did not achieve any effect. On the contrary, Gandolf was very angry.
Even one of those damn guys is willing to vote for Xiao Zheng. At least Gandolf had some psychological comfort.
In the past two days, he felt a little embarrassed to face Xiao Zheng.
While Gandolf was feeling crazy and ashamed here, Xiao Zheng on the other side did not rest for a moment.
He is working hard and striving for it.
He didn't want to lose to Lin Laoyao.
He still remembered how Lin Laoyao humiliated him when they first met. He even had to kick himself out on the spot.
He relied on Lin Xiaozhu's rescue and Lin Huayin's strong persuasion to stay in the Lin family.
That experience will not be the reason why Xiao Zhengji hates Old Yao Lin. But he is a man and he also needs dignity.
He has been looking forward to the day when he can stand upright in front of Lin Laoyao, and through his own efforts and strength, he can defeat this omnipotent strong man who seems to be unbeatable.
And this opportunity is already here.
Will Xiao Zheng choose to give up
Will you choose to retreat without a fight
Will he be suppressed by Old Demon Lin and accept his ridicule and humiliation for the rest of his life
Xiao Zheng has come this far, and he must take the last step. Regardless of winning or losing, he cannot allow himself to have any regrets.
