Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2411 - 1802: Interview (Part 2)

Is my word not registering?

Bai Xiaosheng’s brow furrowed.

"'Xuanjin' company," Mr. Brown stated deliberately, "is the sole entity within my group operating in the rare earth sector in the African region. Mr. Bai might not grasp its significance, but I can assert that the five entities you’ve scrutinized, along with their associated upstream and downstream partners, don’t collectively match half the importance of 'Xuanjin' company. It commands 23% of Xisuli’s rare earth output. Even I hold it in high esteem; it operates directly under my personal oversight. This current half-year alone will see seven additional subsidiaries integrated into its industrial chain as support companies. Annually, leading financial consortiums from Europe, North America, and South America engage with me, proposing exceptionally advantageous terms for cooperation. The technology and capital they provide serve to continuously enhance my industrial chain. What kind of conditions can Huaxia offer?"

Mr. Brown’s discourse was extensive, and his concluding query rendered Bai Xiaosheng momentarily speechless.

The negotiation hadn't even commenced, yet Mr. Brown had already established an exceedingly demanding position. It appeared that Mr. Brown lacked substantial interest in this collaboration?

Could it truly be due to my presence that Mr. Brown is intentionally creating obstacles for this partnership...

Bai Xiaosheng couldn't ascertain this and let out a profound sigh internally.

Bai Xiaosheng considered that he should later advise Director Hou to dispatch Lu Yun or Jia Chengshan for further communication; perhaps a change in the situation might occur.

With this thought, Bai Xiaosheng spoke, "Huaxia’s enterprises possess distinct advantages in the rare earth domain when contrasted with other nations and territories. I still earnestly hope Mr. Brown will give it consideration. If Mr. Brown genuinely holds no interest, then I..."

"No, I am profoundly interested in cooperating with Huaxia’s companies."

On the other end, Mr. Brown shifted his stance, suddenly proclaiming this.

This development left Bai Xiaosheng rather taken aback.

Mr. Brown’s abrupt shift in tone nearly caused him to "lose his composure."

"Coincidentally, I am currently touring the 'Xuanjin' company headquarters. I understand Mr. Bai is presently in Moribido City? It’s merely a two-hour journey from my location. Why not come over, and we can converse, shall we?" Mr. Brown inquired with a light chuckle.

So, Mr. Brown is already situated in Kaido City, the location of 'Xuanjin' Company?

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t suppress his astonishment; he had presumed Mr. Brown was still in Naliya.

Such a swift transition!

Following the initial surprise, Bai Xiaosheng promptly offered a smile, "I hadn't anticipated Mr. Brown being in Lin City. Then, I must certainly pay you a visit. As you are amenable to discussing cooperation, I shall bring along pertinent members of the business delegation."

"There’s no necessity, you may come unaccompanied," Mr. Brown instructed.

Bai Xiaosheng paused briefly before concurring, "Very well!"

This matter is better addressed directly rather than delayed; hesitation could lead to unforeseen changes.

"It is currently eight in the morning, Mr. Bai. You should make your way over. A two-hour drive should have you arriving promptly. I shall await you here. Oh, I have other urgent matters to attend to, so your promptness is appreciated," Mr. Brown conveyed over the phone.

Bai Xiaosheng readily agreed, "I shall depart immediately."

"Then I eagerly anticipate your arrival. We shall meet in person," Mr. Brown responded cordially.

"I wouldn't presume to, I shall discuss matters with you face-to-face then!"

After mutual pleasantries, the call finally concluded.

Upon hanging up, Bai Xiaosheng contemplated for a couple of minutes before summoning Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to apprise them of the developments.

Both individuals displayed a mixture of surprise, delight, and bewilderment.

"That Mr. Brown is actually in Lin City, Kaido City? It's favorable that he wishes to discuss cooperation directly with you, yet I suspect he might still deliberately complicate matters, perhaps as a means of releasing some pent-up frustration."

"It’s truly astonishing; wasn't he reported to be in Naliya just yesterday? To have flown over overnight? And now he wishes to see Xiaosheng, then claims other engagements, urging haste—it seems as if he's grudgingly making time for us, which feels rather peculiar... However, his willingness to meet is, of course, positive. Still, I harbor a sense of unease about it..."

Bai Xiaosheng offered a shrug and a smile to both of them, "There's no need for excessive speculation. Further analysis might only lead to infinite variables that defy complete comprehension. Please expedite your preparations; I will proceed to inform Director Hou, and we shall reconvene at the entrance."

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying promptly nodded and dispersed with haste to fulfill their tasks.

Bai Xiaosheng, likewise, moved swiftly towards Hou Yuncheng's location.

Arriving at Hou Yuncheng's temporary office, Bai Xiaosheng provided a concise summary of the unfolding situation.
