Chapter 811 The Distant Savior
Chapter 811 The Distant Savior
Madison was so frightened that he trembled all over. When Archimonde said not to leave Asia, he didn't mean that he wanted him to retire here, but that he wanted him to be buried here. After all, Shanghai was indeed a suitable place for burying people.
Sweat continued to seep out of Madison's forehead, and she was so nervous that she couldn't even speak.
Sir Carl looked at the distinguished guest in front of him with great interest.
Archimonde, Shell's crisis public relations expert, is also one of the powerful figures at the Dutch headquarters.
Carl had heard of him, but this was the first time he had seen him in person.
"Sir Karl, I'm sorry to bother you. I came here because I heard that you have a good relationship with Minister Chen."
"I wonder if you could give me a recommendation."
"There's a Chinese saying that goes 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Am I being a little rude by visiting him so hastily?"
Sir Carl chuckled and said, "Mr. Archimonde's purpose of coming to Shanghai is to find Minister Chen, right?"
"I heard that you are Shell's top expert in dealing with crisis events. I would like to know how you, as an expert, can solve the $300 million compensation this time?"
Archimonde smiled mysteriously and said, "Sir Carl, you don't have to worry about this. There are still more than two months left, so we still have time to operate."
Sir Carl stood up and said, "Mr. Archimonde, if I just want to help you arrange a meeting with Minister Chen, I think there is no problem."
"However, I remind you that Minister Chen doesn't like to talk nonsense with others. His time is very valuable."
"If you don't have any preparation, I think you should think it over first. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have the chance to meet him again."
Archimonde was full of confidence: "Sir Karl, please rest assured that I have never been that kind of person. Since I am here, I must have made preparations."
"That's good," Sir Carl said slowly, "You go back and wait for my news. I have agreed with Minister Chen to notify you immediately."
"Thank you." Archimonde stood up and bowed slightly to Sir Carl, saluted gracefully, then turned and left the office.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
"Archimonde?" Chen Yang looked at the invitation handed over by Sir Carl with a dazed expression.
This guy's name is so unique that if you don't know, you would think that the Scourge has invaded Blue Planet.
By the way, his nickname couldn’t be The Polluter, right?
Sir Carl looked at Chen Yang in surprise and asked, "Minister Chen knows Mr. Archimonde?"
"No, no." Chen Yang suppressed his smile and said, "I just remembered someone with the same name as him."
"He is a ruthless man. He is known as one of the three great Eredar together with Kil'jaeden and the Eredar twins Aresseth and Saralolash."
"That was all many years ago. I only fought against the Scourge led by him at Mount Hyjal."
"Thinking about it now, I still miss it a little bit..."
Don’t you miss it? At that time, World of Warcraft released a castrated version of The Burning Crusade. It’s been so many years since then...
Carl was stunned when he heard this.
The Scourge, the Eredar Triumvirate, Mount Hyjal?
This sounds very magical? Could it be that this Archimonde had led an army?
No, as far as he knew, Archimonde had always been a man of letters. As a Dutch executive of Shell, his job was to deal with group crises.
But, it is possible.
After all, Indonesia, Shell's largest oil-producing area, is still a Dutch colony. Could it be that Archimonde has formed a legion in Indonesia?
However, why does this Scourge sound like they are not good guys, and where is Mount Hyjal?
"Sir Carl. Sir Carl?" Chen Yang called out twice softly. Carl came back to his senses from his daze and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Minister Chen. I'm a little distracted at my age."
Chen Yang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Nothing, I just want to ask, what does this Archimonde want to do with me?"
"If he still wants to discuss compensation, I advise him not to waste his time on it."
"I have made it very clear, either give them oil or money, they have no other choice."
Sir Carl shrugged and said, "I don't really know the details."
"The first thing Mr. Archimonde did when he arrived in China was to fire Madison."
"He is a man of swift and decisive actions, and he is also very cunning. He usually does not let others know his plans."
"But no matter what, I don't think Shell can afford the $300 million in compensation."
Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "That's not my business. The three times the refund is stipulated in the contract."
"I am very sincere. As soon as the contract is signed, I will transfer all the funds for purchasing oil to the other party's account in advance."
"They were not polite to me when they collected the money, and now, I don't need to be polite to them either."
Sir Carl smiled and said, "Of course. No matter who you are, abiding by the spirit of the contract is the bottom line. Otherwise, how can you do business?"
"By the way, Minister Chen, I heard that your penicillin has caused quite a stir in the Shanghai market recently."
"The price of drugs fluctuates greatly. Will this affect the situation of this drug in the local market?"
"You should know that the money we invested in your drug..."
Chen Yang chuckled and said, “Sir Carl, didn’t you all receive your dividends last month?”
“Do you think this benefit is still not enough?”
Karl's face turned red. In front of outsiders, he always showed an image of not caring about money.
Chen Yang's words seemed to have torn off his fig leaf.
"That's not the case. The benefits of this drug have far exceeded our expectations."
“I don’t want anything to go wrong with the medicine.”
Chen Yang said calmly: "Don't worry, this is just a small disturbance caused by the Jews."
"The matter will be resolved soon, and the Soviet Union's demand for medicine will increase greatly in the future."
"No matter how much medicine there is, they can consume it..."
Karl frowned and said, “But if they do this, the price of this drug will definitely plummet in the future.”
“Can we still have stable income?”
Chen Yang smiled faintly and said, "Sir Carl, your vision is a little shallow."
"Our purpose in producing this drug is not to sell it at a high price, but to make it a famous brand."
"It can benefit the whole world. Otherwise, we would not be able to establish pharmaceutical factories in so many countries around the world and even provide drug patent licenses for free."
"I can assure you that the dividends you receive next year will only be more than this year, not less."
Karl seemed to understand something, stared at Chen Yang and smiled: “I understand, you want to be the savior?”
There is one more chapter tonight. I was recently hospitalized and can only write on my phone. I will maintain two chapters at first. If I am unlucky, this small hospital may not be able to do my job and I will have to go to a big hospital for reexamination. It’s a headache…
