"If you are not worried about me trafficking people, come with me. I will show you something really nice."
As the head of Koch Industries, Li Chengqian would not have to stay in a hotel even if he came to China.
.........
檀宫
Located on the west side of Xijiao Hotel on Hongqiao Road in Shanghai, the luxurious villas are mainly built in British, Faracić and Italian styles. There are only 47384.6 villas in Tan Palace with a total area of 18 square meters. Each villa is worth hundreds of millions of yuan and is known as "the No. luxury house in Shanghai."
A month ago, at the instruction of Li Chengqian, the Shanghai Koch Industries branch spent a large sum of money to purchase one of the villas from a wealthy businessman who was in urgent need of funds.
"I should have thought of it earlier. In the Magic City, only Tanyuan is worthy of your noble status, Mr. Koch."
Daisy sighed as she looked at the mansion in front of her.
"It is rare for a person to live to be seventy. Ten years are spent as a child, ten years as an old and weak person, and there are still fifty years to live.
If divided into day and night, there are only about 25 years. Add to that the wind, rain, disasters and illnesses. How many days are left in a person's life?
I don’t ask to live a hundred years, but I ask that my heart be happy; if you think this house is nice, I will give it to you.”
Li Chengqian put the key in Daisy's hand, gently touched her cheek and said.
"Huh, have you always been so costly in picking up girls?"
Daisy is not stupid. Although she can get a luxury house by just opening her hands, she will definitely be looked down upon by Li Chengqian, so she chose to refuse.
“I am only generous to those I like, and since you are unwilling to accept my gift, come and help me with my work;
If Koch wants to develop well in China, it needs capable Chinese people to join. I am very good at judging people, and you are the person Koch needs."
Li Chengqian finally expressed Daisy's inner expectations.
"I was originally a financial director at a local real estate company. Even if I joined Koch, how could I help you?"
Seeing that her wish had been fulfilled, Daisy did not rush to agree, but began to back down.
If I go to Koch, what position can you give me?
"Start as the financial director of the Shanghai branch of Koch Industries. Once you've achieved success, I'll hand over the East China region to you."
"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll mess up and ruin your company?"
"I just trust my own eyesight. Okay, let me show you around the house."
Li Chengqian took people to visit the house, and the bedroom was naturally the first stop.
…………
Two days later
In Ye Jinyan's office at Jingyan Group
Looking at the resignation letter on his desk, Ye Jinyan frowned; although he knew that what happened at the cocktail party that day had caused Daisy a lot of trouble, he did not expect things to come to this point.
"She was wrong about what happened at the cocktail party. I can apologize on her behalf. As for the rumors in the company, everyone has their own opinions. You really don't need to care about them."
Ye Jinyan still admired this capable man in front of him, so he tried his best to keep him.
"I originally thought I could not care, but it turns out that I can't do it."
Daisy is really a tease. Even at this time, she did not forget to earn Ye Jinyan's guilt.
"It's not easy to find a job outside. If you leave in such a hurry, you may not be able to find a suitable one. Do you really have to leave?"
"You must go."
Daisy said firmly.
"Okay, although we can't be colleagues anymore, we are still friends after all. Can you tell me what your plans are for the future?"
Such a pair of beautiful long legs has been swaying before his eyes for so many years, and it would be a lie for Ye Jinyan to say that he has no thoughts at all; he is just used to being reserved, or perhaps because of the presence of the tigress in his family, he dares not take even a single step out of line.
Now that the cooked duck has flown away, I can’t help but feel a little annoyed.
"I heard that Koch's Shanghai branch is recruiting a financial director. I want to give it a try."
"Koch? It's indeed a good choice."
Originally, he wanted to see if I could help, but when he heard it was Koch, Ye Jinyan was glad that he didn't say anything outrageous.
Chapter 287 Mysterious Side
You can't just leave a big company whenever you want, and it's even harder for a financial director like Daisy, so it took a month for her to actually leave Jingyan and join the Shanghai Koch branch.
It was impossible for Li Chengqian to stay in the country for such a long time. Now he has returned to America. In the cliff villa in Laheia, California, he was playing with a golden ball with great interest.
"The Treasure of Alexandria, Temple of the Moon, Tomb Raider, Origin of Life, very good, this world is much more interesting than I thought."
Li Chengqian muttered to himself as he looked at the golden ball in front of him.
…………
Dididi
"Master, someone has hacked into the defense system of the Beverly Hills villa. Do you want to start the self-defense counterattack procedure?"
That night, just as Li Chengqian was thinking about his life, the artificial intelligence Skynet sent an early warning.
"Wait a minute, send out the nanorobots to monitor that group of people. I want to see who is so bold as to dare to touch the enemy."
The FBI only sent a few undercover agents to infiltrate Beverly Hills in the form of job applications and directly invade. Li Chengqian was indeed very curious about who was so stubborn.
At the same time, the three infiltrating teams had entered the Koch family's treasure room.
"Laura, is it really okay for us to do this? This is America, and the Koch family is notoriously difficult to mess with. If William Koch finds out, we will probably have no peace for the rest of our lives."
Bryce worried.
"Rice worked for Koch Sr. in his early years. I don't know if he is still connected with William Koch now, or if William Koch is the culprit behind the whole thing, so we have no choice at all."
Sneaking into the secret room and taking away the treasure is an operation that Laura is already very familiar with.
steal?
How can you say that I am the head if I have not been caught on the spot?
"Wow, are we at the Louvre?"
As Bryce opened the door to the treasury, Sheridan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the dazzling array of treasures inside.
"Don't forget what we are here for, hurry up and find something."
Among the three, only Laura, who was born into a British aristocratic family, could remain calm. Bryce was dazzled by the treasures in the room; as for Sheridan, who had a criminal record, he had already started packing his things in large and small bags.
I shouldn't have counted on these two bastards. Looking at the performance of Bryce and Sheridan, Laura was furious.
But now that things have come to this, she has no other choice but to continue looking for the golden ball.
ten minutes later
"Bryce, are you sure the golden ball is in this treasure house?"
The golden ball is not a small bead. After searching for it for so long, Laura still hasn't found its whereabouts. She began to doubt the accuracy of the information.
"The stuff must be in the hands of the Koch family. Someone from MI6 saw Chen Luo make a deal with William Koch's butler Jim."
Bryce finally recovered from the shock.
"Since there is none here, let's go back first."
With a backpack full of treasures, Sheridan was in a hurry to return home.
"You guys come and go as you please. You really don't take our Koch family seriously."
There are 4 sets of mechanical armor in the treasure house, which are very different from the styles of the interior, and one of them is opened.
With the assistance of Skynet, the number of Mark III armor in Li Chengqian's hands has expanded to 20 sets.
"What the hell?"
"Run away..."
In fact, Laura didn't need to remind him. The moment Sheridan heard the armored man speak, he picked up his backpack and rushed to the door of the treasure house like a fly.
"Get out of here, you junker."
Relying on his former status as an ace agent and his excellent skills, Sheridan did not take the Mark III armor robot that blocked his way seriously.
spray
The energy pulse cannon of Iron Man in the Marvel world was shown in the current world for the first time; Sheridan was knocked three meters away, and after landing, he didn't even have time to twitch, and he fainted with foam at the mouth.
"Stop, stop, Butler Jim or Mr. Koch, I believe you should have noticed this; this is all a misunderstanding, we don't mean any harm."
Laura boasted that her skills were no less than Sheridan's, but when she saw the four mechanical armors surrounding her tightly with a fierce look in their eyes, she gave in.
"I had no ill intentions, but I only saw three thieves who entered my family's treasure house and stole without my consent. You call this having no ill intentions?"
After coming to this world and learning foreign languages for more than a year, although the big foreign horse in front of him is very cool, it is not enough to make Li Chengqian lose his mind.
"Well, we..."
Laura found herself speechless. After all, no matter how she argued, she could not cover up the fact that they had broken into the house.
"It seems that you have nothing to say. In view of your theft, I will ask each of you to have a hand, and then turn you to the police station."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, a lightsaber appeared in one of the battle armors.
"Wait a minute, my name is Laura Croft, and I'm an archaeologist. I'm sneaking into your villa this time to find a golden ball with the coordinates of the cradle of life. We're here on behalf of the Queen of the British Empire."
The emotionless armor is more intimidating than a living person. With her limbs about to be lost, Laura not only shows her trump card, but also raises the banner.
"The British Empire? This is America. Your old lady can't control me."
The armor directly grabbed Bryce's right hand, as if he was about to take action.
"Wait, like I just said, I am an archaeologist. I have gained a lot from explorations over the years, and I can use them to express my apology."
As Laura said this, Warframe finally stopped what he was doing.
"I hope your stuff won't disappoint me."
After about a minute, Warframe spoke slowly.
"I promise that my collection is no worse than the things in your treasure room. If you don't believe me, I can call them right now and ask them to send the things over."
In addition to her own collection, there is also the accumulation of her ancestors. Laura was very confident when she said this.
"Very well, I shall see what is in your mouth before daybreak; otherwise, I shall send the body of your companion back to your kingdom of England."
"Wait, it's too late before dawn. The things I mentioned are all stored in London."
"I never force anyone to do anything. My armor will take you back. If you want to save your friend, the prerequisite is that your things satisfy me. As for the golden ball, let's talk about this issue after I feel your apology."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, one of the suits of armor started loading mode.
"Will it get me back to London and here before daybreak?"
Looking at the opened armor, Laura was a little skeptical; a minute ago, she had thought it was just a remote-controlled robot.
"Its flying speed is twice that of an F22 fighter. What you should worry about is not whether you can get back before dawn, but whether your stuff can satisfy me."
Chapter 288 Competition
six o'clock in the morning
Laura, wearing the Mark III battle armor and holding a one-cubic iron box, slowly landed on the edge of the swimming pool of the cliff villa in La Rivera, California.
"You arrived an hour later than I expected, but it's indeed not yet daylight."
Li Chengqian, who had just finished his morning swim, climbed out of the swimming pool.
"who are you?"
Laura wondered why the mechanical armor brought her here.
"Who am I? When you brought people to sneak into my house, didn't you do some research in advance?"
Li Chengqian picked up a bath towel and started to wipe his body, speaking as he did so.
"Are you William Koch? I have brought the things, but where are my friends?"
"Your friend is fine, but I really don't like the way you talk. It always makes me feel like a kidnapper."
