I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 672

Chapter 672




Jiang Chen didn't give Natasha a clear response in regards to the Russian president's invitation; he only stated that when the time was right, he would make a trip to Moscow . Restricted by Russia's economic situation, Future Group's development in Russia was limited . The sales of Phantom were incomparable to the popularity in Asia and North America .

When Jiang Chen received a call from Xia Shiyu, he headed to the company .

It was a representative from B City Consortium that has asked for a meeting, and his identity was not be underestimated .

The two determined from their discussion that there was a high chance that the intention of the trip was to settle the feud .

In the battle against Future Group, they were no longer willing to remain in a stalemate . They lost over 10 billion over a 1 . 5 billion dollar project .

Of course, Jiang Chen's side also suffered heavy losses . The most profitable Future Technology showing red on the bottom line was already a worrisome sign .

But if this war persisted, B City Consortium would be the eventual loser . Even if the Federal Reserve assisted them, even if they upgraded their cybersecurity; Jiang Chen with the backup of the quantum computer would penetrate the wall eventually .

The next morning, beside a Gulfstream G650 landed in Coro Island Airport and Jiang Chen met with Carson Loki, the majority shareholder of Frist B City Bank . Different from the other renowned financial tycoons, Jiang Chen never heard of his name before nor did he know anything about the Loki family .

While they are one of the members that controlled the B City Consortium, their recognition was far less than the "cursed" Kennedy family or the Adams family that participated in the Declaration of Independence, but the mysterious Loki family still possessed a tremendous amount of power .

He was not only the majority shareholder of the bank, but he was also one of the secret shareholders of the Federal Reserve . The Ghost Agent in UA had to do some work in order to gather this information .



The kind-looking elder in a blue suit was far more powerful than he appeared .

"It's nice to finally meet you in person . Mr . Jiang Chen looks much younger in person . " Carson Loki walked forward and shook Jiang Chen's hand .

Just from the smile on his face, it was impossible to imagine they were in amidst a bloody financial war .

"Mr . Loki is flattering me . "

Jiang Chen was fathoming the purpose behind his personal visit while chatting with him in a lighthearted mood .

Because Carson Loki was staying in the presidential suite in Sheraton inside the Heart of the Sea, Sheraton's limousine already arrived at the airport . When Mr . Loki arrived at the hotel, Jiang Chen asked Future Tourism's CEO Wei Yun to prepare a conference room .

After half an hour, the two met inside the conference room .

"In some areas, there might be some misunderstandings . And the purpose of my trip is to clarify our misunderstandings . " Carson was straightforward .

"For example?" Jiang Chen smiled .

"For example the freshwater project in Saudi caused us to have some differences, and the differences resulted in frictions in our other businesses . " Carson paused and looked at Jiang Chen . "I will be straightforward . It is beneficial to no one to continue this stalemate . At this point, it is about who has the biggest loss, do you agree with my perspective?"



"I concord with you, but it doesn't mean we will compromise . Future Group only promises to not use unethical tactics first . "

"Oh? So you're saying you are the person behind the information leak?" Carson laughed .

"I never said that . Please don't twist my words, and please don't accuse without any evidence," Jiang Chen stated .

Carson Loki gazed at Jiang Chen, and then paused .

"We will discuss with the other shareholders in Matrix to withdraw from the freshwater project in Saudi . "

In terms of technology, Matrix already lost to Future Heavy Industrial . Withdraw or not, their odds of winning were low . Unless Saudi insisted on building their own treatment plant, their technology was unattractive .

The favor lacked sincerity .

"This was a wise choice . I want to say, however, the problem doesn't lie here . " Jiang Chen shook his head with one hand on the table as he continued while staring into Carson's eyes . "Since you have the intention to settle, I will be straightforward as well . Stop any unethical tactics against Future Group and return to ethical competition . "

He paused, then said seriously .

"Or else, we will continue to escalate our measures . "

Silence lasted for two minutes, Carson began to explain .

"The anti-trust investigation against Future Technology has been in the agenda for a while . With the rise in the virtual reality network, UA will never rely its cybersecurity to a foreign company . We just brought the proposal ahead of the agenda . "

"Is that so? Then we express the deepest regret for the client information leak at First B City Bank . I heard UA received thousands of attacks from foreign IP addresses . I think this leak may be accidental . "

"Accidents may happen again . "

Carson was silent again . After a long moment . Then he used a calming tone .

"We are here to reach an agreement, aren't we?"

"If you're here to settle, then please bring out a proposal with some sincerity . Mr . Loki, I have to remind you that you started the war," Jiang Chen said fiercely .

From the moment Blue Seagull directed its campaign against Future Group, the war was no longer limited between Matrix and Future Heavy Industrial . There was only one way to naturally end the war and that is to stop the attacks from both parties .

The Department of Justice must stop the anti-trust investigation against Future Technology and Future Technology will cease the cyberattack against First B City Bank .

Carson's finger gently tapped on the table and he said .

"We can help you to throw the anti-trust investigation out of the court, but shouldn't you do something for our loss as well?"

"Your recommendation is?"

"Help us recover our credibility and market cap loss . "

"We're not the best in stock manipulation . I don't think I can do too much . " Jiang Chen opened his hand .

"It has nothing to be with the stock itself . There is a proverb in China . Out of blows friendship grows . Since continuing the fight no longer matches both of our interest, then there is only one option remaining . Are you interested in a strategic partnership with us?" Carson Loki smiled .

Carson's proposal surprised Jiang Chen . B City Consortium was willing to set aside their differences and enter a strategic partnership with Future Group?

Jiang Chen contemplated for a long time .

"Your proposal is extremely tempting . But I want to hear the details of this partnership . "

"I came prepared . " The elder took out a document from his briefcase; his smile was bright .

Jiang Chen scanned it through; his eyebrows rose .

[Partnership? Interesting . ]
