479: Chapter 479: Thug Negotiation!
Father-in-law Shows His Authority!
Relentless interrogation!
Sharp and resolute pushback!
Tang Xiao, with her obstinate character, typically responds to soft approaches rather than forceful ones.
Had the representatives of the three behemoths entered the eting room with smiles and an apologetic attitude…
Then, even if Tang Xiao hadn’t made significant concessions in the negotiations, at least she wouldn’t have shown such anger.
However…
No sooner had Tang Xiao finished speaking than Thomson, the CEO of Love信 TLM, let out a cold laugh.
“President Tang, are you saying our attitude is poor?”
“Please!
None of us have said a word just now!”
“Our serious expressions signify the importance we place on the matter, and not smiling doesn’t an we’re disrespecting you!”
“If our attitude were bad, we wouldn’t have flown all this way and asked to negotiate!”
This ti.
Tang Long felt that what Thomson said made sense.
Negotiations are just another form of warfare, after all.
It’s normal for the three giants standing on the brink of life and death to feel resentful and stifled.
keeping silent, not smiling in greeting…
this couldn’t really signify anything!
Was it reasonable to expect soone whose family was on the verge of extinction to exchange pleasantries with a cheerful smile?
What happened to his daughter?
Had she eaten gunpowder?
Her behavior was too out of the ordinary today.
Not only was she hot-tempered, but she also hadn’t called Wu Jie, the negotiation (swindling) expert, which was strange indeed.
Tang Long’s eyebrows knit together slightly, but he didn’t make a sound.
Feeling genuinely upset about last night’s events, Tang Xiao said coldly:
“I’m in a bad mood, so that’s how I talk!”
“Now that we’ve all made our positions clear, let’s drop the pretense!”
“Tell !
How do you plan to ask for peace?”
No sooner had her words fallen than the president of Nuoxin NSN’s Asia-Pacific region imdiately said:
“The hundred million trillion Gold Coins you’re asking for is just unrealistic!”
“Our three companies are offering a total of twelve billion Gold Coins in settlent money, plus three thousand patent technologies for free, permanent licensing!”
“And in return, you would provide us with the vulnerabilities in our defense systems and destroy all confidential data!”
“To avoid any doubts or disagreents, we’d like to transfer the settlent money monthly to a third party, completing the paynt within three months!”
…
Tang Xiao kept silent.
After the other party finished speaking, she imdiately looked towards Tang Long.
“Is this the new condition you’ve co up with after negotiating with them?”
Tang Long shrugged his shoulders:
“They’ve already raised the price a lot, and the amount offered before was even less!”
Tang Xiao turned her head back and sneered:
“This bit of money is supposed to get rid of a beggar?”
“And three thousand patent technologies…
you think your technology is worth a lot?”
Thomson intervened, “Then what do you want, President Tang?
The illegal intrusion into our corporate servers is extrely impolite and a serious violation.
We’re keeping quiet and settling with money for peace’s sake, but what more do you want?”
“Polite?
Illegal?”
Tang Xiao chuckled and said, “Was it polite when you colluded against in the SAM project in East Africa?
Was it legal when you set up a series of explosions in the hotel where I stayed?”
“Calling you three big hooligans is to pay you a complint because what you’ve done is an insult to the word ‘hooligan.’ I’ve never seen businesses engage in such vicious competition and shalessness!”
Cough, cough!
The Chairman of Lansike CSA coughed violently twice.
“Can we stop arguing, please?
The situation has reached this point, so let’s not talk about who’s moral and who’s shaless!”
“Business is like a battlefield, and we’ve lost this battle.
Where we’re wrong, we’ll admit it; where we’re culpable, we’ll compensate!”
“We want to prevent our companies from going bankrupt, to ensure a al for our employees and ourselves, and we don’t want to end up in jail!”
“But I also ask President Tang to carefully consider our situation.
Asking for the moon is no different from directly forcing us to close our doors!”
Tapping her fingertips on the table, Tang Xiao spoke without a hint of jest:
“My conditions are simple: all the technologies listed in the email directory are to be licensed free and permanently without charge.”
“Additionally, the compensation, twenty billion Gold Coins per company, can be paid over four months, transferred into the offshore company account I provide!”
“Within four months, you’ll have enough ti to conduct a self-investigation and completely destroy any incriminating evidence!”
“And it’s not like I would expose you before I have collected all the money.
I’m very rcenary, and I wouldn’t cross swords with money!”
“After four months, the evidence in my hands will beco useless, and I won’t be able to threaten you anymore.
Then we can all live in peace!”
Thomson imdiately asked:
“What about the vulnerabilities in our defense systems?
We’ve spent so much money, are you not going to provide them?”
Tang Xiao snorted with a laugh:
“Four months!
Isn’t that a long enough ti for you to find the vulnerabilities and upgrade to fix them?
You are the three giants, not the three weaklings!”
“If you must admit that you’re incapable and can’t find the system vulnerabilities, then before the four months are up, you can pay to buy them.
Two hundred million Gold Coins per vulnerability, and don’t haggle with !”
With that statent,
the negotiation teams of the three giants imdiately started whispering among themselves.
Two hundred million Gold Coins for each system vulnerability!
It seems high, but not really!
Because each vulnerability represents a huge security risk.
If unscrupulous hackers get hold of them and target the bank, securities, and insurance custors in the financial industry,
the losses incurred would be far beyond a re one or two hundred million Gold Coins.
After a brief discussion among themselves,
the representative from Lansike CSA suddenly raised a hand and asked:
“We have no proof.
Can we sign a secret agreent?”
“No way!
What’s the use of signing ten thousand agreents with you three rascals?”
Tang Xiao’s attitude and tone were tough.
The representative from Nuoxin NSN then raised a doubt:
“We seriously doubt that your group has the capability to breach our defensive systems.
Could it be that you succeeded in your intrusion with the help of your country’s Electronic Warfare Troops?”
Tang Xiao laughed coldly and contemptuously, “What does it matter who I seek help from?
You all can ask the Aseyah Youth Army for support, so why can’t I call for reinforcents?”
…
After responding to several questions,
Thomson suddenly asked curiously:
“President Tang, we will respond to your conditions as soon as possible!
But I’m very curious, that day during the project bidding, did your husband, Wu Jie, have so sort of special ability to foresee the future?
How could he have co up with such an odd yet precise bid of three 666s?”
Tang Xiao replied casually, “I told him to give any number, and he said that 666 is trending online, so he just went with that bid!”
“Really?
Just like that?” Tang Long was astonished.
Tang Xiao smiled faintly.
How could she know how Wu Jie ca up with such an odd bid?
Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was shrewd calculation!
Anyway, her frustratingly unpredictable husband, Wu Jie, was full of mysteries, completely inscrutable!
And this enigmatic man was probably still sleeping this very mont.
After the negotiation eting ended, Tang Xiao called Tang Long into her office.
She closed the door, seated him, and poured so fine tea.
Tang Xiao asked with a flushed face, a bit shy but very curious in her tone:
“Dad, before you knew mom, did you have any other won?
Or, have you, you know, done anything with other won?”
Tang Long’s joyful face suddenly turned cold.
He had never dread that one day his darling daughter would ask him such a private question.
“What’s this all about, why are you asking this?”
“Just tell if you have or not!”
Tang Xiao grew impatient.
Tang Long clenched his teeth tightly, his face turned gloomy as he stared intently at Tang Xiao.
“Tell honestly, did you and your husband have a falling out?”
“If he was here today, he would certainly have put those three ruffians in their place!”
Pointing at Tang Xiao, Tang Long chided her:
“I wondered why you didn’t bring him to such an important negotiation eting!
You must have offended him!”
“What are you staring at for?
You’re not leaving this room until you explain yourself clearly today!”
