Looking vaguely at the men in black robes in front of him, if Fansen hadn't found a familiar figure standing outside the coffin, Tang Xiaoxiao would have almost thought that he had traveled to another world. Rebirth has already happened anyway, and traveling to another world is not the same. The terrible thing about Shenma is that it is a pity that he has worked so hard for the power and status he has gained over the years... Ahem, I was thinking wrongly.
"The ceremony has been completed. My Majesty the Queen, it's time to get up." Fansen raised his eyebrows, with a teasing smile on his face. He stretched out his left hand and handed it to Tang Xiaoxiao, "This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing." You were able to fall asleep during the Skull and Bones initiation ceremony, and you slept so soundly. If I hadn’t heard your snoring, I would have thought you had fainted from fright.”
Tang Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, supported Fansen's arm, and sat up from the coffin. A trace of unknown crimson flashed on her cheeks. She wiped the unknown liquid on the corner of her lips that looked like saliva, "Is the snoring really that loud? ? I was just too tired. I was a little scared when I was lying here, but then I was too sleepy and fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw them talking about these things, and I thought I had traveled through time."
Fansen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. I knew you would be scared. I'll stay outside."
While speaking, Fansen had already helped Tang Xiaoxiao out of the coffin. Most of the twelve round table elders looked exhausted. The first elder couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Tang Xiaoxiao's energetic appearance, "Dear Tang, Young people are young people, and you are full of energy after spending the whole night like this, but we old guys really don’t have the energy to accompany you anymore.”
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, elder."
The Great Elder took out a black velvet box from his hand and handed it to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Tang, from today on, you are a senior member of the Skull and Bones Society. Your name and information will be entered in a password within three days. Sent to your personal email, this is a Skull and Bones ring, don’t lose it.”
"Thank you, Great Elder." Tang Xiaoxiao took the black velvet box with both hands, opened it, and saw a pure black ring with strange patterns inside. There were extremely strange totem patterns on the ring surface, which seemed to be a seal. The ring Inside is a row of tiny Latin letters—queen.
When they returned to the manor castle, the twelve round table elders hurriedly said goodbye to Tang Xiaoxiao and Fansen. Most of them were already old and couldn't bear such a whole night of tossing, so they could only go back to rest in a hurry. On the contrary, more than a dozen members of the Skull and Bones Society Under the leadership of Parker Sugney, a small party was held for Tang Xiaoxiao's initiation.
A group of people were having a great time, and Tang Xiaoxiao could see that although the Skull and Bones Society was a bit mysterious and weird, it was also very harmonious inside. Most of the people present today were the proud members of the upper class in North America. They had changed from their past pomp and vanity. Taking off the mask of hypocrisy, being true to herself, and facing her newcomer with a very kind smile, Tang Xiaoxiao has long been accustomed to the excitement of this kind of party. Even if she always likes a quiet temperament, she will not let this overflowing What feelings of disgust arise from the passion.
Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao giggling in the middle of the dance floor, Fansen sat in a dark corner with a glass of red wine in his hand and a calm and beautiful smile on his face.
Tang Xiaoxiao can belong to the light, but he himself belongs to the darkness.
It was not until the party came to an end that the leader of the party, Parker Sugney, finally found Tang Xiaoxiao quietly and shrugged at her, "What do you think? My Majesty the Queen?"
"At least now, I feel pretty good." Tang Xiaoxiao responded with the same American shrug, and then extended his hand, "Thank you very much for inviting me to join the Skull and Bones Society, Mr. White Turban."
Parker is from the Middle East. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't mean to ridicule or insult him by calling him White Turban. On the contrary, she was grateful to this young man... As for Mr. White Turban, well, White Turban is Parker's name. Code name in Skull and Bones.
Parker smiled heartily, "It's because you are very good, my little queen."
Fansen, who was sitting in a dark corner, saw Parker approaching Tang Xiaoxiao, frowned slightly, put down his wine glass, stood up and said lightly, "The crew is waiting for you to go back to filming."
The implication is that you should go back.
Tang Xiaoxiao is not an idiot. Naturally, she knows that Fansen is reminding herself that so many people on the crew are waiting for us. Postponing the shooting for one day will cost Hongguoguo's dollars. As for the underlying meaning of Fansen's words, I'm sorry, she I really don't have the heart to speculate.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Parker, I still have something to do and may have to leave first..."
Before Tang Xiaoxiao could finish his words, Parker's expression tightened and he immediately said, "Tang, I'm sorry to keep you chatting for so long, but... I have a business I want to do with you. Are you willing?"
Hearing that there was business to be done, not to mention Tang Xiaoxiao, even Fansen stopped and looked back at Parker.
Parker shrugged and pointed to the conference room next to him, "Let's go in and chat. It's too noisy here and it's inconvenient."
The three people walked in and each poured a cup of tea. Parker cleared his throat, and the first sentence made Tang Xiaoxiao's face darken, "Tang, I wonder if you still have the courage to do the oil and gas business?"
"Mr. Parker Sugney, what do you mean?!" Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Parker with a cold face. South China Sea Oil and Gas was one of her biggest shames. She completely fell into someone else's trap. In the end, I almost spent my whole life in it, and had to flee the country sadly. I still dare not return to the country. Not to mention the people in front of me, even Xue Xiaohan next to me didn't dare to mention this matter easily.
Seeing the anger on Tang Xiaoxiao's face, Parker said quickly, "I just want to ask, do you still have the courage to do the oil and gas business? If you still dare to do it, I am willing to cooperate with you and do a business... You should know that I As the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, I have a large amount of oil and natural gas fields in my hands. If they can be fully exploited, I believe it will be beneficial to both of us."
Parker was not afraid of Tang Xiaoxiao, he just didn't dare to offend Fansen who was behind Tang Xiaoxiao.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and glanced up at Fansen. Seeing his slight nod, she felt relieved and asked, "Why me? Parker, in terms of financial resources, I'm afraid many families They are all richer than me, Tang Xiaoxiao, right? I, Tang Xiaoxiao, am just a little girl who was kicked out of her home. How can I compare with those international plutocrats? I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, Parker, I really don't see it If you don’t know what my advantages are, why would you choose to cooperate with me?”
"Dear Tang, the situation in the Middle East is extremely complicated. What we need are not those ambitious international chaebols. What we want are sincere businessmen who come to the Middle East to exploit oil. Do you understand?"
Parker's glazed eyes were shining with light, and he said persistently and seriously, "First, if those big chaebols are introduced to the Middle East, with their ambition and strength, they will definitely get involved in the arms business, which is very important to our current situation in the Middle East. There is no benefit to the situation, and I will not do anything like that. Secondly, the reason why I chose you as a partner is that I heard that you fell into the trap of the Baldana family a while ago, and you lost billions of dollars. All our oil and gas investments have been in vain, but because of this, your technology and resources are there, which is of great benefit and convenience for us to fully develop the oil and gas resources in the Middle East."
Tang Xiaoxiao picked up the teacup without realizing it, took a sip of tea, and a glint flashed in her eyes, "Very good, I accept this reason. Then, let's discuss the responsibilities and obligations that both parties should be responsible for, and then decide later." How about sharing the profits?"
Parker leaned his body on the back of the sofa and said lazily, "It's very simple. I will be responsible for opening up all aspects for you. I will be responsible for providing resources and legal procedures for government departments, and asking the military to conduct inspections on this development project." For protection, you need to provide all resources in terms of technology, human resources, financial resources, etc.”
Tang Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her lips and said in a neutral tone, "Parker, you are just using the existing resources in your hands, but I need a lot of manpower, financial and material resources to support this project. Even as a businessman, I We all bow down to you, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Parker."
Parker smiled innocently, "The two of us are integrating resources, aren't we? That's fair."
"Okay then, let me ask again, what should be done with the profit sharing?" Tang Xiaoxiao's attitude was somewhat aggressive.
"It's very simple. You write a profit sharing model, I write one, and we both neutralize it, which is the profit sharing this time. How about it?" Parker smiled as cunningly as a fox.
"good."
Tang Xiaoxiao responded happily. Fansen took out two pens and paper and handed them to the two of them respectively. In just thirty seconds, Tang Xiaoxiao had already written down on the paper.
When the mystery was revealed, not to mention Tang Xiaoxiao, even Parker laughed tacitly. Tang Xiaoxiao wrote 60% for his side and 40% for the other side, while Parker also wrote 60% for his side and 40% for the other side. After neutralization, the two sides were divided into 50% and 50%.
Although this is simple to say, it is also a test for both parties, testing each other's character. If it is just a short-term cooperation, Tang Xiaoxiao can naturally write 90% for himself and 10% for the other party. In this way, no matter how much the other party writes, it will be in his absolute benefit to neutralize it. But once it goes so far, the cooperation between the two parties will I'm afraid I won't be able to proceed. Just think about it, who wants to cooperate with a partner who cares about everything
Holding the paper in his hand, Parker finally stood up, raised his arms and saluted Tang Xiaoxiao solemnly, "Tang, from today on, we are true partners, and you will be my friend."
Watching Parker's back getting further and further away, Tang Xiaoxiao finally showed unconcealable joy on her face as she got into the car and almost jumped out of her seat. She was responsible for the oil and gas development plan of Baitou Reef in the South China Sea. The hurdle in her heart that she couldn't overcome was her inner demon for so long... But today, she finally took another step forward.
