Arthur was about to leave after the Knights Hospitaller's account received 50 million US dollars from Xia Lei.
There was no documentation for this remittance, but Xia Lei was not worried that the Knights Hospitaller would cheat him of the money. The other party values glory more than anything else, this is one of them. Furthermore, the silver metal regarded as a sacred object by the Knights Hospitaller was still in his hand, so he was not worried that the Knights Hospitaller would not implement the agreement.
Fifty million US dollars is a huge amount of money, but to him it is just a number. He is willing to give 50 million US dollars to redeem Amanda and Park Taiyong, and he doesn't care about using 50 million US dollars to buy killers, mercenaries and militants to start a war with FA organizations!
It is difficult to predict what kind of chemical reaction the $50 million, the fanatical believers of the Knights Hospitallers, and the weapons and equipment of the Thunder Horse Group will produce. However, it is conceivable that the FA organization will face the biggest existential crisis since its establishment!
The flames of revenge have begun to burn.
"Mr. Xia, the four of them will stay with you. I hope you can treat them well." Arthur said to Xia Lei at the door of Ping An's residence.
Xia Lei said: "If you are worried, take them back."
"No, no, no." Arthur waved his hands repeatedly, "If I want to keep them as hostages, I have to keep my promise. Mr. Xia, you won't let me become a person who doesn't keep his word, right?"
Xia Lei shrugged. Arthur would be done with whatever he said, and there would be nothing good for him. However, he knew very well that Arthur kept the Gray sisters and the Russo sisters, not as hostages, but as people who acted as informants and monitored him. But he didn't care, because in his opinion, these four women were good-looking but not very capable.
"Can I have a few words with them?" Arthur was very kind.
Xia Lei smiled, "They are yours, why do you need my permission? If you are willing, you can spend the whole day with them."
"It doesn't take a whole day, I only need a few minutes." Arthur walked towards the corner on the side of the door.
The Gray sisters and the Russo sisters also walked towards the corner.
Xia Lei thought that Arthur and the four women were just talking in the corner, but he didn't expect that Arthur turned 7∽7∽7∽7∽, m.⊙.co△m and walked behind the corner. The four women followed him around the corner and avoided his sight.
Xia Lei couldn't help but smile, his left eye twitched slightly, and the five people standing behind the corner talking secretly came into his sight. That's when the lip reading technology started.
"Mr. Arthur, why do you let us stay? We can't do anything here." Rosa.
"Yeah, let us follow you back. We want to go to war with the FA organization. We are not afraid of death." Giovanna.
Stella and Teresa said similar things. None of the four women understood why Arthur asked them to stay, and they were obviously unwilling.
"That's enough, you all say goodbye. I have made a decision and I will not change it again." Arthur's expression was serious, "Now you listen to me, this is very important!"
The four women suddenly became quiet.
"I didn't leave you here just to let you play. I have a mission for you." Arthur lowered his voice, "You have to collect all the information on Xia Lei and report any situation to me. In addition, you have to Get close to him and spy on the information about the sacred object at any time. Also, you must try to find out how much he knows about the secret of the sacred object. This is very important to us."
"Mr. Arthur, he is so cunning, how can we do it?" Stella looked very worried. She remembered what happened last night. The four of them and Arthur were all deceived by Xia Lei, and now Arthur asked them to play a spy game with Xia Lei. It was scary to think about such a thing.
"This is an order! You must execute it and complete it!" Arthur said coldly: "Have you forgotten those trainings? Do you still want me to teach you how to deal with a man? You have natural advantages, and He is naturally weak. Use your brains and you will succeed."
Four women, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to say anything. But they understood what Arthur meant. Their bodies were the best weapons against men. Arthur wanted their pink cannonballs to bomb Xia Lei and then capture Xia Lei.
"Okay, that's it. You know the contact information, but be careful not to let Xia Lei know." Arthur.
The four women nodded in unison and said in unison: "Guard the faith and help the suffering!"
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze. He was not surprised that Arthur gave such a task to four women, but he just felt a little headache. He also thought secretly in his heart: "He asked them to find out how much I know about the secret of the sacred object. If I know more, will the Knights of the Hospital turn their guns and kill me after getting the sacred object?"
This is really possible, because only the mouth of the dead is the most stable.
Arthur and the four women walked out of the corner. Arthur had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened just now. He said: "Mr. Xia, I'm leaving, please keep in touch. I will pass on relevant information to you at any time. In addition, I would like to ask when will our weapons be available?"
Xia Lei said: "I will ask the customers in South America to prepare them for you. You can directly take the weapons you need from my customers, and I will make up for them here."
"Well, this is best. Goodbye then." Arthur walked towards a taxi waiting on the roadside. Xia Lei ordered that car for him. He didn't want his people to send Arthur off, and he didn't want anyone to find out that he was in contact with the Knights Hospitallers.
"Mr. Xia." Giovanna said in a very gentle voice: "Can you walk around with us? We want to get familiar with the environment."
"I'm not free. You go find the aunt who sweeps the floor. She will meet your requirements." After saying this, Xia Lei turned around and walked towards the Thunder Horse Military Factory.
The sisters from the Gray family and the Russo family looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they both looked at Xia Lei's back.
The day after sending Arthur away, Liu Zhengnan and Qing Caiyue came back, and even the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle sent to France for the exhibition came back with them. Xia Lei went to pick up the plane in person, but before he left the airport, he was surrounded by reporters from all walks of life.
"Mr. Xia, is the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle a new type of fighting vehicle independently developed by the Thunder Horse Group?"
“Mr.
"Mr. Xia, can this kind of tank be mass-produced?"
"Mr. Xia, will our army be equipped with scavenger infantry fighting vehicles?"
"Mr. Xia, why is the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle exhibited abroad first instead of at home? Is it an export weapon and equipment?"
A lot of reporters, a lot of questions.
Xia Lei raised his hand and waited until the scene calmed down a little before saying: "I have nothing to do for the time being. Please come to the Thunder Horse Military Factory tomorrow. I will hold a press conference on the Scavenger Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Then I will Not only will your questions be answered, but you will also have the opportunity to see our Scavenger Infantry Fighting Vehicles conduct live exercises.”
"Mr. Xia..."
"Mr. Xia..."
Xia Lei stopped answering any questions. He squeezed through the reporters blocking his way and left with Liu Zhengnan and Xia Xue who had come to pick him up at the airport.
"Brother, do you really want to hold a press conference?" Xia Xue asked aloud as she got into the car driven by Elena.
"Of course, why not? We have good stuff, wouldn't it be silly to hide it? If the media likes to speculate, let them speculate. This is equivalent to giving us free advertising." Xia Lei.
Xia Xue chuckled and said, "Brother, leave the planning work to me."
"Okay, no problem." Xia Lei agreed immediately. My sister's work ability is getting stronger and stronger, and it's time to let her take charge of some work alone.
"Let me help you." Liu Zhengnan.
"Yeah." Xia Xue smiled even sweeter, "I know you love me the most?"
Xia Lei frowned, "Am I actually in line behind Zhengnan?"
"You are tied for first place!" Xia Xue.
There was laughter in the car.
Returning to Thunder Horse Military Factory, Xia Lei sent invitations to some people. Xia Xue and Liu Zhengnan began planning tomorrow's press conference.
Early the next morning, media from all walks of life rushed to the Thunder Horse Military Factory in advance. In the big news interview truck, the signature female anchors of major TV stations also appeared, preparing to interview Xia Lei. Some guests also arrived in advance, including Shi Boren, Tang Tianlong and some military figures. They were all invited by Xia Lei.
People who Xia Lei didn't invite also came, including Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun, as well as Yu Shanhe and Ling Hao. Xia Lei did not invite them, but they were still able to attend the press conference in an official capacity.
The press conference was held at the shooting range of Thunder Horse Military Factory. Xia Xue and Liu Zhengnan arranged the podium and audience seats. There was also a red carpet on the passage leading to the podium, making it look stylish.
When the time came, Xia Lei stepped onto the red carpet and walked to the podium calmly. He did not invite any leaders to make a speech. As soon as he took the stage, he introduced relevant information about the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle and its future production plans. Reporters from all walks of life rushed to ask questions, and he responded easily without any sign of stage fright. Standing on the podium, he looked less like an entrepreneur and more like a political figure with a very strong aura.
"Why doesn't he die?" Mu Jianfeng looked at Xia Lei, who was standing on the podium and talking. His face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"It's strange to me, too. So many people want him to die, but instead of dying, he's living better and better." Ye Kun also looked depressed.
"We have to stop supplying him with parts for the production of light weapons. We must do this!" Mu Jianfeng said firmly.
Ye Kun frowned, "That guy holds the key to us. If we stop supplying parts to Thunder Horse Group..."
Mu Jianfeng interrupted Ye Kun, "It's better to die standing than to be bitten to death by him bit by bit."
"Teacher, just be straight, who means this?" Ye Kun. He never believed that Mu Jianfeng was a person who would "die standing up".
At this time, Ling Hao came over and said, "Is it important who means this? I think your two companies will be eliminated by Thunder Horse Group in a few years. This is the important thing."
Ye Kun seemed to understand something. He nodded, but did not come out.
Ling Hao said calmly: "I think Mu Lao is right. Rather than being bitten to death by him, it's better to give it a try. If you give it a try, it might be him who dies, not you. Are you and I right?"
"Then please ask Mr. Ling to help." Mu Jianfeng said with a smile.
Ling Hao smiled. His eyes moved to the direction of Yu Shanhe.
Yu Shanhe didn't come over. He looked at Xia Lei, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
ps: I have something to do tomorrow and will be delayed for a day. I hereby ask for leave. Normal updates will resume the day after tomorrow!
