Setting down the teacup, Shen Yan calmly uttered the most frightening words.
His attitude startled Allen, who quickly realized what was happening.
The world's top ten law firms...
He suddenly remembered something he had heard recently: a mysterious tycoon had supposedly bought 10% of the shares of one of the world's top ten law firms.
Each household receives 10%, no more, no less.
And all of them happened at the same time!
He had been wondering who it could be, but now Shen Yan's words were incredibly revealing.
Durian mangoes aren't scary; what's scary is when durian mangoes are associated with culture.
Moreover, they are exceptionally wealthy.
Realizing that Shen Yan was not only warning Yorick, but also warning himself, Allen glanced at Yorick, who was barely breathing, and could only sigh.
He bowed deeply and said, "Chairman Shen, it was my fault for making such a poor arrangement. I shouldn't have let him come here to negotiate."
"Please be lenient."
"Snapped!"
Seeing that the other party had given in, Shen Yan snapped his fingers, and Zhang Long stopped.
He looked at Allen and said, "Since you've said that, I'll give you face. But I hope this won't happen again. It's really unpleasant to have a third party suddenly appear in our negotiations."
"We can't continue this discussion now. Why don't you, Allen, talk to headquarters and see when we can start formal negotiations?"
“Okay, Mr. Shen, don’t worry, I’ll call headquarters in a bit,” Allen replied.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan got up and walked outside, and his men followed him out.
207 Yorick's fate sparks widespread discussion.
Shen Yan left.
He left with his men, swaggering away.
The reason he was so arrogant, even certain that Allen and the Condé Nast family behind him would sell the company, was not only because these Westerners only cared about profits.
More importantly, he knew that the family behind him was having financial problems recently.
Furthermore, after the older generation passed away, the family made the wrong moves with Condé Nast.
Coupled with the impact of new media, even Condé Nast, which owns many globally renowned magazines, could not withstand the decline.
They want to divest themselves and move into other industries.
"This person... is amazing."
“Vice President, all I saw was his savagery and arrogance; I didn’t see how capable he was.”
At this moment, Pudman whispered to himself.
Upon hearing this, Allen shook his head: "It's precisely because he's barbaric and arrogant. Haven't you noticed how different he is from the Chinese capital we encountered before the '563' incident?"
Pudman was completely bewildered after hearing this.
Seeing this, Allen sighed. Pudman was his capable assistant, so he would always give him pointers.
Seeing that he still didn't understand what he meant, Allen had no choice but to continue: "The Chinese people we've encountered before, in their Chinese language, are described as being able to bend and stretch."
"The people of the Dragon Kingdom are very clever. They will not make a move unless they are certain of a fatal blow. They usually keep a low profile, but in fact they can unleash extremely strong energy."
"They are skilled in strategy and planning, and we often have to think for a long time when negotiating with them in business."
“Vice President, yes, but this Chairman Shen is different from them. Isn’t that better?”
Pudman looked at his boss with a puzzled expression.
Allen shook his head with a wry smile: "In Chinese terms, mangoes aren't scary, what's scary is mangoes with culture. A Chinese person can do things in a way that is very much in line with our Western ways."
"And they even have Chinese customs mixed in. Aren't such people even more terrifying?"
"He used Yorick to give us a hard time this time. He was able to obtain information about Yorick and release it without warning, which not only demonstrated his intelligence capabilities but also his channels and abilities to spread information."
"That's the scariest part."
Seeing Allen say so much, Pudman finally reacted, his face turned pale, and he took a step back, asking in surprise, "Vice President, do you mean that this Chairman Shen has our group's secrets?"
"Probably."
Allen nodded and patted Pudman on the shoulder: "He can find Yorick's embarrassing moments without anyone noticing, and then release a global announcement. Who knows, they might also have our news."
"That's why he's fearless and has no scruples, which is why I say he's terrifying."
"Because he has the power to overturn the table, we need to be on high alert this time. I can imagine that during the upcoming negotiations, the other party will occasionally spread information that is unfavorable to us, and after it becomes known to everyone, it will affect our negotiating price."
"This is an unequal negotiation."
“We are the sellers, but the initiative is in his hands, which is why I say he is scary. Do you think he is scary?”
Pudman nodded belatedly, his face full of shock: "Terrible."
"Yes, don't worry about this. I will inform the higher-ups of these speculations and information, and they will consider them. Next is the game between the Hows family and him."
"clear."
Allen turned to look at the people behind him, gesturing for them to follow him.
When he stopped in front of Yorick and saw that his head was covered in blood, Allen bent down to look at him, took a tissue out of his pocket and threw it in his face.
He chuckled and said, "Yorick, thank you for taking the lead and shielding me from disaster this time."
"As for our negotiations with you, let's put them on hold for now."
After saying that, Allen got up and left without looking at Yorick again.
He knew that Yorick was doomed this time.
It wasn't that Shen Yan's people almost beat him to death, but rather that Facebook's stock price fluctuated because of his significant influence, and Facebook's investors wouldn't let him off the hook.
...
Amazon patrols the building.
Bezos put down the phone with a gloomy expression.
"Thank you for your generous gift!"
"That bastard Yorick, I sent him to the City of Romance to negotiate the acquisition of Condé Nast, and he messed it up."
"Even the cooperation plan with Zuckerberg that I was originally discussing was terminated because of this!"
"Damn it, he really deserves to die!"
Bezos angrily picked up his phone, veins bulging on his hand. His usually amiable face now looked extremely ferocious.
It's no wonder this is so horrific. This stock price turmoil not only cost him billions, but it's also continuing to fall. Many business partners have called, and several projects that were originally under discussion have been terminated.
These losses are incalculable.
And the board of directors also demanded an explanation from him...
Explain?
How will he explain himself?!
This time, he was also an innocent victim!
"Jingle Bell!"
Just then, a phone rang. Bezos paused when she saw the caller ID, glanced around cautiously, got up, walked to a corner, answered the call, and whispered, "It's me, Bezos."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice continued, "We've found out the details. Yorick had a dispute with a Chinese merchant."
"Although we don't have any evidence to prove that the Chinese were behind this, we can be pretty sure that they are involved."
"The implication is that Yorick needs to give an explanation, and that Chinese man will also have to pay the price."
"clear."
Bezos's body stiffened, and he immediately realized what the other party was going to do. He replied immediately, "I will handle it."
"Okay, we'll have someone send you the information about that Chinese person later. We'll wait for your good news."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Bezos walked weakly to the French windows and took a while to calm herself down.
Everyone knows that he is a world-renowned big boss.
Little did he know that there was a group of top figures above him who, though invisible to the world, firmly controlled the lifeline of the world economy.
"call!"
Bezos let out a sigh of relief, then picked up the phone and dialed: "Hey, help me get rid of someone on May 5.1st..."
...
In the romantic city, inside a business van.
The van we're riding in today was personally ordered by Zhang Feng; it's explosion-proof and bulletproof, ensuring maximum safety, so there won't be any more incidents like yesterday's motorcycle gang causing trouble.
"Boss, the communication stopped after the other party finished the call. It seems they are deliberately preventing us from stealing the address."
Old Deng's voice came through the Bluetooth headset.
Shen Yan closed his eyes to rest, his arms crossed over his chest, appearing very calm.
"Yes, continue monitoring. I need to find them, Old Deng. I trust your ability to identify voices. Write down the voice, and let me know as soon as you find anything."
"Okay, boss."
Old Deng immediately quieted down, and Shen Yan looked out the window, a faint smile playing on his lips: "You really have to come out and see for yourself to know how vast the world outside is."

"Ring ring!" "Ring ring!"...
Just as Shen Yansi was enjoying divine protection, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it.
