Bai Xiaosheng presents Vanas with a stark choice, detailing severe consequences for the Hogson Family if they fail to appease Oshan. He outlines potential business disruptions, hefty fines, and even imprisonment for Alger. Vanas, pressured by Bai Xiaosheng's grim predictions, reluctantly offers a significant investment in Oshan, only to have Bai Xiaosheng deem it insufficient. Bai Xiaosheng further elaborates on the catastrophic reputational and market damage the Hogson Family could face, leaving Vanas and Alger in despair.

Before coming to see Vanas and Alger, Bai Xiaosheng actually thought it over carefully.

How to negotiate, what strategy to adopt, whether to take a indirect approach or be straightforward...

In the negotiation, what attitude should he uphold, gentle or aggressive...

Bai Xiaosheng pondered over these kinds of thoughts a lot.

Bai Xiaosheng had his own objectives, with the support of Chief Ogade and Lady Daliya. He was full of motivation and had plenty of cards up his sleeve.

Bai Xiaosheng thought more about the other party, their mindset and decision-making direction.

If this meeting is considered a game, then Hogson, who has not shown himself, has three taboos or weak points.

Firstly, his son.

Alger is the next generation of the Hogson Family, the only one who can be considered a qualified successor. Therefore, whether from an emotional or rational standpoint, Hogson will never sit idly by while he lands in jail or has his reputation damaged; the family cannot bear it.

Secondly, reputation.

Every great family values their reputation, sometimes even more than money. After all, for them, money can always be earned back; that’s not the issue. But reputation is accumulated over generations, and once shattered, no one knows what the outcome will be.

Likewise, damaged reputation can lead to a stock market collapse for the family, making mountains of riches evaporate overnight; that’s no exaggeration.

Thirdly, business.

They can disregard some small amounts of money, but the business within Oshan is not a small amount. If they offend Oshan, it’s foolish to dream of withdrawing fully without massive losses. Just a state-level fine alone could wipe them out.

And this is only a minor aspect; the key point is that if they can’t do business in Oshan, it would create a vacuum zone in the business chain within the Chieftain Union in West Africa.

Imagine transporting raw materials from UA to UB, unable to traverse Oshan, only able to detour through a third country.

Over the years, that kind of cost would accumulate greatly.

Although the Hogson Family is as wealthy as a nation, they lack the capital and courage to tear face with a powerful neighboring Oshan.

Therefore, Hogson dispatched his family’s second-in-command along with his son to personally visit and apologize, hoping to restore relations.

Bai Xiaosheng keenly grasped these three fears of the opponent, and in their verbal duel, he aimed his attacks precisely at the soft spots they couldn’t bear.

Furthermore, from the beginning, Bai Xiaosheng had not planned on being polite with them.

Perhaps anyone else sent by Oshan for negotiations would have reservations, cautious of truly falling out with Hogson, and unwittingly would find themselves constrained.

Bai Xiaosheng had no such reservations.

What if he really pushes Hogson to leave?

Just right, Bai Xiaosheng feels he can attract new businessmen from Huaxia, the West, or Latin America to fill the void, which would be more beneficial to himself.

With this mindset, Bai Xiaosheng’s demeanor wasn’t bluffing—he genuinely left the opponent feeling they must choose between life and death.

People like Vanas, perceptive as they are, naturally detected that Bai Xiaosheng was not pretending.

This is what truly made him afraid.

A Huaxia person obviously can’t be the master of Oshan; perhaps this is the intention behind Supreme Chieftain and his wife’s actions.

Does the Supreme Chieftain intend for Huaxia people to replace them, entering Oshan’s business world?

If so, that’s truly terrifying!

Beside him, Alger also looked at Bai Xiaosheng, who seemed like a wolf or a tiger, feeling alarmed.

What madness had he committed to provoke this ruthless Huaxia person?

This is simply too terrifying!

Not only Vanas and Alger felt fear, but even Chen Feiqiu nearby was secretly shocked.

It’s not much different from debt collectors chasing after payments!

Bai Xiaosheng is driving the Hogson Family into a corner! Ruthless enough!

However, Chen Feiqiu liked it.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng is also fighting for Oshan’s interests.

Standing aside, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying felt immense satisfaction, secretly delighted.

Collecting his thoughts, Vanas looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a complicated gaze, opened his mouth wanting to say something, but for a moment no sound came out.

He had used ninety percent of the authority Hogson gave him.

Raising it by that extra ten percent, would it be useful?

Thinking it over, this Huaxia person probably won’t care about his authority...

Perhaps he could try the approach from Chen Feiqiu.

Vanas considered this.

Although Chen Feiqiu said earlier that Bai Xiaosheng’s words represent him, now the topic involves substantial matters, such as the survival of a business giant in Oshan, and concerns whether Oshan’s economy remains stable!

Could this Huaxia person really make the decision?

Vanas didn’t believe it; he wanted to try.

"Mr. Vanas, I hope you understand that I do not wish to repeatedly emphasize this! Mr. Bai Xiaosheng’s words represent Oshan!"

Chen Feiqiu, upon seeing Vanas looking his way, promptly spoke before him.

Chen Feiqiu is not an ordinary person; his intelligent mind is well aware. Raised with sights and sounds from an early age, and currently receiving teachings from esteemed masters in politics and economics, he knows when to make what decision.

At this moment, he couldn’t afford to drop the ball.

Vanas just glanced at Chen Feiqiu, and his mouth was sealed, leaving him with a wry smile.

When Vanas looked at Bai Xiaosheng again, Bai Xiaosheng spoke slowly, "Mr. Vanas, should you wish to speak, I urge you to think seriously, as we do not have time to repeatedly listen to your bargaining. Moreover, this raises doubts about your sincerity!"

Bai Xiaosheng actually applied pressure again.

Vanas instantly felt tense, laughed dryly, and said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai, there are certain things I cannot decide at this moment. I wish to make a phone call to Mr. Hogson."
