Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 385 Kill him!

In the quiet reception hall of the Cheval Blanc Manor in Paris, two men in neat suits came in. They were Neo Otto and Ronnie Covein.

As soon as the two came in, the manager in the reception hall immediately went up to greet them.

Whether it is Neo Otto or the former Ronnie Covein, they are people with status. As a welcome manager, it is a basic requirement to remember the appearance of those celebrities.

"Mr. Otto, Mr. Covein, stay safe and sound. How long are you here for a short stay this time?" The welcome manager always had that kind of spring-like smile on his face. Feel.

Neo Otto looked at the welcome manager: "Renault, Mr. Nicholas Halliway lives with you?"

Reno, the welcome manager, frowned: "Mr. Otto, protecting the check-in information of our guests is a basic industry requirement. If you ask me that, it is difficult for me to answer."

Now Neo Otto was a little embarrassed.They found out that Nicholas Halliway lived in the White Horse Manor to the limit, but no one knew the specific room.

"It's fine if he doesn't say anything. With Hariway's ability, he must live in those rooms on the top floor. Let's go and see them one by one?" Ronnie Covein said.

Usually he would not be so reckless, but now the situation is different, the most important thing is to get things done.

The welcome manager Renault's face changed drastically: "Mr. Covein, this is a very bad suggestion."

"Reynolds, we need to find Mr. Halliway for a very important matter. You should know us a little bit, and there will be absolutely nothing out of the ordinary." Neo Otto is still quite rational, and he still tries to meet him. Manager Bin is reasonable.

Greeting manager Renault doesn't trust Ronnie Covein, but he does trust Neo Otto.Of course, the most important thing is not to believe in Neo Otto but to trust his father Otto the Old.

"Mr. Halliway has already left." The welcome manager sighed: "Your trip was in vain."

"What?" Ronnie Covein's face changed suddenly: "Where did he go, and when did he leave?"

"This is already the limit of what I can disclose, please don't force me anymore."

Neo Otto was in a much more stable mood. He looked at the welcome manager: "We met with Mr. Halliway before. It was agreed that Mr. Halliway would discuss important matters with us in the near future, but Mr. Halliway Missed appointment."

"Mr. Halliway will not miss the appointment!"

At this moment, a tall young man came from not far away.

When he got closer, the man bowed slightly to Neo Otto and Ronnie Covein: "Mr. Halliway has left France temporarily, but he has not forgotten his agreement with the two, which makes me Wait here."

"Leaving France?" Ronnie Covein glanced at the young man and found that he was probably only 25 or [-]. He was at a loss: "What we have to talk about is very important, you can't make a decision. Halliway Where did Mr. go, we can go to him, it's better to talk to him face to face."

Neo Otto frowned slightly. He felt that Ronnie Covein was a little too impatient, which made a lot of etiquette missing.The young man in front of him was Hariwell's man no matter what, so he shouldn't be treated like this.

However, the words have already been said, and it is not easy for him to refute Ronnie Covein's face.

The young man didn't care much: "It's okay, it's not an important thing."

As soon as this remark came out, even Neo Otto felt a little uncomfortable: "We are going to talk to Mr. Halliway about a cooperation involving tens of billions of dollars. Is this not an important thing?"

"No." The young man shook his head very naturally: "You two, don't ask about Mr. Halliway's whereabouts anymore. He is a private matter and it is not convenient to disclose it."

At this time, the welcome manager Renault retreated sensibly, leaving only Neo Otto and the young man.

When the welcome manager left, the young man smiled and said, "For us, the cooperation of more than 100 billion is really not an important matter. I can make a decision."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Neo Otto and laughed: "Looking at Mr. Otto's appearance, a decision has been made on the development of a new twin-engine wide-body machine."

Ronnie Covein's eyelids twitched, he didn't expect this young man to be the spokesman of Nicholas Halliway.

Is Nicholas Halliway so arrogant that more than 100 billion investment is handed over to such a child with no hair yet?
However, compared to Ronnie Covein's skeptical attitude, Neo Otto quickly accepted the current situation, he pondered for a moment, and said: "EADS and BAE have agreed on the project of the new model, and will The project is named A350."

"Sure enough, you are very eager. When did EADS and BAE become so efficient?" The young man said with a lot of ridicule, and he seemed to be very familiar with these two giant companies.

Ronnie Covein was a little upset. He always felt that the young man in front of him always looked superior when he talked to them.

Even if he is demoted now, it's not just a cat or a dog who can show off in front of him casually.

However, Neo Otto was not annoyed by this, but directly admitted: "Our situation is indeed not very good now, the pressure of the Boeing 787 is too strong. Boeing has it, and we must have it."

"So use our money to develop new aircraft?" The young man joked.

Neo Otto nodded: "You can also get a lot of profit from the new aircraft, can't you?"

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about this cooperation project." The young man shook his head: "Civil aviation planes are not very profitable."

"Civil aviation. Aren't planes very profitable?" Neo Otto accurately grasped the point of the young man's words: "Then what kind of planes make money?"

The young man laughed: "It's nothing, since it's an order from No. 350, we will naturally obey it. We will fund the A[-] project to Xu Cang, and the shares of the Jinmen Airbus General Assembly Plant will also be given to Xu Cang."

"We have no objection to the shares of Jinmen Airbus General Assembly Plant. Mr. Halliway mentioned before that the main direction of the A350 project will be proposed by you. I wonder if Mr. Halliway has any requirements for this?"

"A request?" The young man smiled slightly: "Don't ask us about the specific design ideas of the A350. We are only responsible for paying the money. You can just ask Xu Cang, and he will make requirements for the future project direction."

"Xu Cang?" Neo Otto knew Xu Cang, and the two had a good relationship in private: "But Xu Cang is just a pilot, he knows about aircraft design?"

The young man spread his hands: "This is not what we care about. As I said, we will be responsible for the capital contribution. Let's draw up an agreement. After the agreement is signed, the funds will be in place in one step."

"In one step!?" Ronnie Covein was shocked: "You mean to give more than 100 billion US dollars at once?"

In his original idea, the money should be distributed many times over a long period of time. How can there be more than 100 billion US dollars at one time?

The young man smiled and said, "I said, this is not an important matter. I will be here for a few days. After the agreement is drawn up, I will sign it on behalf of Mr. Halliway."

"You?" Ronnie Covein frowned.

The young man clapped his hands: "That's right, it's me. Don't worry, I have the qualifications. Alright, Mr. Halliway's instructions are done, you two can do what you want."

After speaking, the young man made a gesture to leave.But just after taking two steps, Neo Otto couldn't help but asked, "Excuse me, why did Mr. Halliway leave JP Morgan Chase back then? The fund you are in now has more money than JP Morgan Chase?" future?"

The young man stopped in his tracks, turned his head and smiled at Neo Otto, "Why do you think Mr. Halliway has left JPMorgan Chase?"

In a side hall of Jiming Temple in Tianning, China, compared with the frequent pilgrims coming and going in the main hall, the never-ending sound of wooden fish knocking, and the curling green smoke, this side hall is It looks very quiet.

Although the building is quite old, the sound insulation effect is very good. Only when you calm down can you hear some movement outside.

At this moment, there are no Buddha statues in the side hall, but there are two tablets enshrined on an incense table.One of them had been there a long time ago, and it was the tablet of Xu Ruxing's wife Han Jingsheng.

However, at this moment, there was an extra tablet next to Han Jingsheng's tablet, and the name engraved on it turned out to be Xu Ruxing.

This is Xu Ruxing's tablet!

There were only two people in the side hall, one of them was Xu Ruxing's best friend, Lawyer Mo Hui, and the other was actually Nicholas Halliway who rushed over from France.

At this time, Nicholas Halliway was wearing a pure black suit with a white flower on his chest, which was the standard style of clothing for funerals.

I saw Nicholas Halliway leaning on a cane, staring fixedly at Xu Ruxing's tablet on the case, without saying a word for a long time.

Mo Hui stood behind Nicholas Halliway with his hands behind his back: "You should be in France now to handle the matter he entrusted to you."

"It's just a trivial matter. I arranged for someone to talk to Airbus, and it will be fine." Nicholas Halliway suddenly turned around: "Compared to this, I want to know him more!"

Mo Hui frowned: "He? Xu Ruxing? Isn't he already gone? Is there anything I want to know."

Nicholas Halliway leaned on his crutches with both hands: "He left in such a hurry and left an unclear will. Of course I want to come back and have a look. But, are you moving so fast? Where is his body?" ?”

Mo Hui frowned even deeper: "Cremation! Halliway, do you think it's appropriate to say these words on this occasion?"

"Mo Hui, we followed him together back then, but you quit halfway, why?" Nicholas Halliway suddenly pointed the finger at Mo Hui.

Unexpectedly, Mo Hui's face darkened instantly: "My mind is not on making money, I have my own ideals and life."

"No, no, No. [-] gave you great freedom. You can do your own thing, but you still left." Nicholas Halliway moved, approached Mo Hui, and came in a dark way One sentence: "You're afraid of him, aren't you?"

Mo Hui's face changed: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

"It took him less than 20 years from having nothing to owning the world." Nicholas Halliway's eyes flashed a trace of reminiscence: "He is so perfect, as if everything has no secrets in his eyes. By his side, you I feel so humble and fearful, it seems that even a little bit of dark thoughts in my heart will be perceived by him, so you chose to leave, didn't you?"

Mo Hui's expression was indifferent: "You worship him like a god!"

"Didn't he deserve it?" asked Nicholas Halliway. "And yet he died, so suddenly, so unexpectedly."

"So, you came to confirm his death?" Mo Hui lowered his brows slightly: "It's a pity that you don't have this chance."

Nicholas Halliway took a deep breath and asked suddenly, "Do you remember what day it is?"

Mo Hui was startled: "What?"

"No. [-] will definitely come here for a few days at two times a year. One is June [-], which is the anniversary of his wife's death, and the other is now. September [-], which is his wife's birthday."

Mo Hui's expression froze: "September [-]rd?"

Because of the sudden death of his best friend, Mo Hui spent the past few days in a daze. He even forgot that today is September [-]rd.

"What do you want to do?" Mo Hui suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

"Of course one thing is confirmed."

Nicholas Halliway suddenly lifted the crutch with his right hand, then grabbed the middle of the crutch in the air, immediately put it flat, and threw it in the direction of the incense table.

Even though Nicholas Halliway was a businessman, his physical strength was extremely strong, and Mo Hui could clearly see that the bottom of the crutch was not a regular round head, but a spike.

With such a strong force, the crutch directly hit Han Jingsheng's tablet, and then directly penetrated Han Jingsheng's tablet, and nailed it to the wooden wall behind.

Mo Hui took a breath and shouted loudly: "What are you doing!"

However, after Nicholas Halliway threw his cane, his face was extremely dignified, and his body was tense all the time, like a cheetah ready to go. It could be seen that he was very nervous.

It stayed like this for about half a minute, except for Mo Hui's angry curses, there was no other movement around.

Suddenly, Nicholas Halliway's gloomy and excited voice sounded in the side hall: "He's dead, he's really dead, hahahaha!"

Nicholas Halliway's mouth opened to the point of exaggeration, as if there was an infinite joy in him to release.

But even though he opened his mouth wide, his voice was not loud, as if he was deliberately suppressing it, but it was close to being uncontrollable.

Nicholas Halliway stared at the only Xu Ruxing tablet left on the case, showing a trace of regret: "You will die too."

If Xu Ruxing hadn't died, then it was Han Jingsheng's birthday, so he must be in the temple.Nicholas Halliway made a move to destroy Han Jingsheng's tablet. As long as Xu Ruxing was still alive, he would immediately take revenge like a storm, but the reality was that he didn't.

Then, there is only one explanation, Xu Ruxing is really dead.

"Even if he died, he left a will, and you must faithfully abide by the will." Mo Hui said coldly.

Nicholas Halliway looked indifferent: "I have only one objection to his will."

Mo Hui frowned: "What?"

Nicholas Halliway asked quietly, "Where's the code?"

"Password?" Mo Hui's face also turned cold: "No one knows the password except him."

"Impossible, he will never bring such an important thing to the grave." Nicholas Halliway stared at Mo Hui, but he couldn't see a trace of strangeness on Mo Hui's face, and he couldn't help being suspicious: "Are you really have no idea?"

Nicholas Halliway was silent, he turned his head to glance at Xu Ruxing's tablet, and then left the side hall.

Looking at his back, Mo Hui shouted: "Are you going to betray him?"

"Gods will naturally gain eternal faith." Nicholas Halliway kept walking: "But he is dead, so he is not a god, so my belief is naturally not eternal."

After the words fell, the figure of Nicholas Halliway had disappeared from Mo Hui's vision.

Leaving the side hall, the secretary Louise Hughes who met Xu Cang before greeted him, and asked, "Is number one dead?"

Nicholas Halliway just replied indifferently: "Dead."

Louise Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Nicholas Halliway's footsteps.

"Just now there was news from France that people from Airbus approached him. EADS and BAE agreed to develop a new model, named A350."

"A350." Nicholas Halliway twitched the corner of his mouth, stopped, and looked back at the side hall where Xu Ruxing's tablet was located.

Louise Hughes said in a low voice: "If No. [-] dies, will we continue to carry out the things we have explained before? We don't need to hand over the cooperation with Airbus to Xu Cang."

"It doesn't matter." Nicholas Halliway waved his hand: "This is the last order of No. [-], and it will naturally be carried out."

Louise Hughes was startled, but said nothing more.

The two walked for a while, and when they reached a secluded place, Nicholas Halliway asked, "How is Cha?"

"I found the doctor in charge of No. [-]. According to him, No. [-] died of pancreatic cancer." Louise Hughes frowned: "Moreover, the development of pancreatic cancer is extremely rare, very, very fast, so that So I missed the best time to intervene."

Nicholas Halliway kept walking: "What else?"

"It is said that No. [-] recorded a video for Xu Cang before he died."

Nicholas Halliway stopped abruptly and looked back at Louise Hughes: "Where's the video?"

"I don't know." Louise Hughes shook her head: "The doctor was invited out after that, and he didn't know anything about it. What should I do, what should Xu Cang do?"

Nicholas Halliway thought for a while: "Do you think he has the possibility of cooperation?"

Louise Hughes hardly thought about it: "If you ask my opinion, I didn't feel it the first time I came into contact with him. His sense of autonomy is too strong and he will not cooperate with us. Moreover, this person is very smart , even if he is willing to cooperate, I don't think it is an appropriate decision to cooperate with him."

Nicholas Halliway frowned: "Are you so sure?"

There was a hint of fear hidden in Louise Hughes's expression: "If possible, I would rather he disappear forever in this world."

"why?"

Louise Hughes took a deep breath, and then spit out a sentence: "He makes me feel like. Number one."

Nicholas Halliway's face suddenly tightened, his eyelids slowly drooped, and he was silent for a full minute.

What Louise Hughes said to Xu Cang before was true. For example, Nicholas Halliway didn't value money. What he cared about was a secret of Xu Ruxing, but that secret needed a password to open it.But except for Xu Ruxing, no one knows the password.

Since Xu Ruxing recorded a video for Xu Cang before he died, the password may be hidden in the video.

If the video is already in Xu Cang's hands, and they kill Xu Cang again, wouldn't the video disappear from now on?

Based on this worry, Nicholas Halliway was hesitating whether to wait until he got the video before getting rid of Xu Cang.However, Louise Hughes' last words struck Nicholas Halliway deeply.

"Kill him!" Nicholas Halliway finally expressed his decision: "Where is he now?"

"Japan!" Louise Hughes said.

Nicholas Halliway looked at Louise Hughes: "I don't care where he is, I only care about the result."

"Now he is receiving a lot of attention in Japan, at least before the hearing. If you do something at this time, it is easy to attract some unnecessary attention." Louise Hughes: "Or do we not need to pay attention to these?"

Nicholas Halliway pondered for a moment: "It's good to have less trouble, what's your plan?"

"I found out that after the hearing, Xu Cang will go to Hokkaido to visit a fruit drying factory. The land transportation there is inconvenient. If you want to hurry, if you take off near Tokyo, you can only fly from Miyakejima Airport to Rebun Airport. There are small airports full of local transportation in Japan, and only a small commuter airline is in operation. In such a closed environment like an airplane, not only can the scope of influence be controlled, Xu Cang will not have any escape route."

Louise Hughes continued: "I have already bought off the security personnel at Miyakejima Airport, and our people can carry weapons up there."

Facing Louise Hughes' sophisticated plan, Nicholas Halliway shook his head: "No, this is still not safe enough. You can guarantee that the security inspector you bribed will be able to pass through normally. If there are people on the plane during the operation What if other people intervene?"

Louise Hughes thought for a while: "Then I also want to bribe the crew on duty?"

"What about the passengers? Do you want to bribe the passengers too? Maybe the people who execute the flight can know in advance, but can you be sure who will be on the plane then?"

What if other passengers on the plane intervene in order to protect themselves during the operation, resulting in the failure of the operation?
Louise Hughes thought of the possibility too: "So what?"

Nicholas Halliway said indifferently: "Buying the entire Miyakejima Airport and that commuter company, I want to ensure that our people can pass through the security check normally, and there will be no other people on the plane who will interfere with the operation."

Louise Hughes bowed her head respectfully: "I see, I will do it. If there is no accident, after thirteen days, his life will be over."

Nicholas Halliway hummed, looked back at the side hall with exposed cornices, and murmured: "Xu, I'm sorry, I still want to kill him."
