"I just want to make you lose a lot, and I make a lot of money from it," Xiao Yan said. "Three days ago, your stock suddenly had a good market. Am I right? There were three big purchases."
Steven's look can already be described as "fear".
"You controlled it?"
"Of course," said Xiao Yan, "and more than that. In half an hour, I will throw out all I have."
Steven looked at Xiao Yan for a long time and said, "what kind of commitment do you need to let me go?"
"Promise?" said Xiao Yan. "I don't think you will know what credit is. Mr. Johnson, you should be glad that I just let you lose a sum of money, not your life."
"Mr. Xiao, if I encounter a big problem in terms of funds, I think I will be more interested in Mr. Xiao's map. So why don't we step back and let me go. I promise not to rob Mr. Xiao of the map in your hand." Steven said.
"As I said, I'm not interested in your promise. For me, your promise is not as valuable as a piece of shit." Xiao Yan said.
Steven thinks that Xiao Yan's means are not just in the stock market. It is likely that Xiao Yan will not let him go happily when his stock market completely collapses.
"Mr. Xiao, will you let me go in three hours?" Steven asked.
"It depends on your cooperation," Xiao Yan said. "If you cooperate enough, I will let you go. If you don't cooperate enough, I can't guarantee that their guns won't go off. If you die here, someone may think you killed yourself in your own territory."
"What conditions can I promise you so that you can let me go?" Steven was happy.
Xiao Yan was silent with a smile.
This reaction made Steven even more flustered. He was not afraid that Xiao Yan would talk to him about terms, but that Xiao Yan would not talk to him. Such a taste of being kept in the dark is not wonderful.
Shen Xinbai is also confused by Xiao Yan. Listening to what he just said, it is obvious that he wants to make conditions, but Steven asks, he doesn't say. Either they are selling off, or there are no conditions at all. They just tease Steven and make him afraid.
"Mr. Xiao, I think it's not good for you and me to be so hostile now. Why don't we have a good talk and win-win cooperation? What do you think?" Steven said.
"Not so much," said Xiao Yan. "I'm not interested in working with you."
"Mr. Xiao, I think you will be surprised if you understand my sincerity." Steven is still trying.
The more he talked about cooperation so calmly, the more it showed that he was flustered. I have no foundation in my heart, so I can only find out the meaning of Xiao Yan by constantly talking. Shen Xinbai suddenly feels that Steven is very poor. He meets Xiao Yan, who never speaks well and can spit out blood every minute.
And what's more terrible is that the opponent didn't even have the kindness to respond to him, so he closed his eyes directly.
Shen Xinbai wants to know Steven's psychological shadow area at this time. So when Steven looked at himself, he kindly shrugged his shoulders to show that he couldn't help. At least I paid attention to him. I just don't know if this can calm his inner panic.
"Mrs. Xiao..." Steven takes an inch and plans to start with Shen Xinbai.
But Shen Xinbai raised his hand and restrained his words: "Mr. Johnson, I just came to see the excitement. You can ignore my existence."
"Steven, if you dare to look at my wife again, I think the time you stay here will be extended indefinitely." although Xiao Yan closed his eyes, he seemed to see everything.
Steven looked at the Xiao banquet with his eyes closed, and then looked at the irrelevant Shen Xinbai. He helplessly called "God" and leaned on the sofa.
But his God will not come to save him.
An hour has passed, two hours have passed, three hours have passed... Steven is like an ant on a hot pot, but he is not as free as an ant on a hot pot. He can't move at all.
"Mr. Xiao, can you let me go now?" Steven asked, looking at the medieval wall clock not far away.
"Well", Xiao Yan just opened his eyes and looked like he had just woke up.
"No hurry," said Xiao Yan, "wait another half an hour... An hour at most. Do you still have this patience?"
"Dinner, I think we can have a good talk. Your current attitude really makes me see no sincerity." Steven began his ineffective lobbying again.
Shen Xinbai thinks that Steven has at least one advantage, that is, he has perseverance. Three hours have passed, but once the opportunity is seized, he still has to continue his lobbying.
"OK, tell me your opinion." Xiao Yan said.
Maybe he has had enough sleep and has the spirit. Xiao Yan didn't refuse Steven's proposal this time. Why does Shen Xinbai always think that Xiao Yan is teasing Steven? Maybe there will be another blood spitting dialogue.
"I can guarantee that I won't trouble the Xiao family in the future. If you don't believe it, I can sign an agreement with you. In addition, I will compensate you for what you lost in this contest, and even give more. As long as you let me go now, the terms are up to you," Steven said.
"If I let you go now, you still have a chance to recover the defeat," Xiao Yan said. "I'm not a philanthropist. There's no need to let everything come to the original point after playing around. Our Xiao family's human and material resources are not so wasteful. Just... You reminded me."
Seeing the dangerous smell in Xiao Yan's eyes, Steven was a little scared, but on the surface, he was still very calm. He asked, "what good idea does Mr. Xiao have?"
"Should you compensate me for the loss you brought me?"
"Well, what do you say? I'll have someone write you a check," Steven said.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "you don't need to write me a check. The Xiao family doesn't pay attention to this little money. Remember this account first, and I'll make you ten times compensation if you have a chance in the future."
"Feast", Steven said, "I think your income in this stock market storm can't exceed 500 million. I lost more than 1 billion, and you didn't earn more. Isn't it a loss for both sides? Why don't I give you 500 million and lose a little less myself? In this way, won't everyone be happy?"
Let alone Xiao Yan's impatience, even Shen Xinbai will be bored to death by Steven's nagging.
"Mr. Johnson, I heard you are an Asian expert. I wonder how much you know about Asian films?" Shen Xinbai asked.
"No less than you Asians." Steven is confident in himself. In order to prove that he is indeed an Asian, he speaks this sentence in Chinese and is very fluent.
Hearing that Steven used Chinese, Shen Xinbai also said to him in Chinese, "have you seen a film called Da Hua's journey to the west?"
"Of course," said Steven. "Mrs. Xiao is in the entertainment industry. Does Mrs. Xiao want to talk to me about business? I think I'll give Mrs. Xiao some good suggestions."
"You misunderstood," Shen Xinbai said, "I don't need you to give me advice, because I don't think your mind can be clearer than my husband's in business. The reason why I mention this film to you is because your actions remind me of a role in the film."
"Oh? Which role is it?" Steven didn't realize that Shen Xinbai was laughing at him.
But the Xiao banquet on one side was already holding back a smile.
Shen Xinbai said, "do you have any impression of the Tang Monk inside?"
Steven's face, which was still wearing a gentleman's smile, froze in an instant.
"Oh, no, Mrs. Shaw, I don't think it's polite for you to make such a metaphor to me." Steven used his mother tongue again.
Shen Xinbai smiled and said in English, "I also know it's impolite to describe you, but your noise gives me a headache."
Steven was embarrassed, but he still had to show a minimum of respect for the beautiful lady and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble."
"If you are willing to shut up from now on, I think I will be very happy." Shen Xinbai said.
Steven was so despised by Shen Xinbai that he naturally felt that there was no place to put his face. He was really embarrassed to say anything.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yan received an email.
Click to look carefully. After a while, put the mobile phone screen in front of Steven: "do you know?"
Steven looked at it carefully for a while and his face changed greatly.
"Feast! Let's have a good talk, I think..."
"Don't be nervous," Xiao Yan stopped him. "If you keep your nose to yourself, I don't think these things will appear in your government. But if you don't keep your nose to yourself... I'm sorry, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg."
Steven understood the meaning of Xiao Yan and his mood immediately calmed down.
After a while, he nodded and said, "OK, ok... Mr. Xiao, you are really an excellent opponent. I lost this game to you."
"That's it," said Xiao Yan. "I also think Mr. Johnson is a very good opponent. Before losing two games to you, you always want me to win one game?"
"No, Mr. Xiao, you're wrong. I only won you one game. How can a small victory be comparable to what Mr. Xiao got this time?" Steven said.
Listening to their conversation, Shen Xinbai was also drunk. I doubt whether these two people can flatter until tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't have much time to have such a boring conversation with Steven. He had ordered the bodyguard to say, "send Mr. Steven back to the place where we met."
After looking at Steven's shorts, Xiao Yan said, "there should be clothes in the cabin. Find one for him to take away."
"Banquet, you are a kind opponent," Steven smiled.
"Of course," said Xiao Yan, "if this happens again, I will let you go decently. But next time, I can't guarantee that you will be safe."
The conversation between the two people was not like a contest between opponents, but like a partner.
