NOVEL WEB Chapter 481 Li Chengji Calls
The caller was Li Chengji, a North Korean woman whom he had met once on the Diamond Queen Cruise Ship...
At that time, this Big Sister claimed to be an assistant to the board of directors of the International Intermediary Company, observing the presidential election activities in the Asian Region. Then, a candidate was killed on the cruise, she encountered an assassin chased by Mountain Eagle from heaven to earth in her room, and almost lost her life.
Mountain Eagle did kill the assassin, but he did not feel like he had saved her life, nor did she feel like she was the one being saved.
At that time, everyone on the cruise, guests and staff alike, were taken to Kamui. Mountain Eagle, seeking to boost Kamui's tourism and using these tourists and businessmen as bargaining chips in negotiations, resorted to all sorts of tricks to trap everyone in Kamui.
Li Chengji had complained to him then, but Mountain Eagle was busy with other important things at the time, so he didn't have time to interact with her, thus missing an opportunity to connect with the upper echelons of the International Intermediary Company.
Time passed, and Mountain Eagle had forgotten about him!
Now, Li Chengji had directly called him, and it was a new number specially activated for registration.
This meant that his registration document at the International Intermediary Company had been leaked!
Of course, she is an insider...
Just like Apple claims to never leak secrets, but in reality, their internal management team responsible for managing iCloud, selling celebrity private photos, is nothing new.
But a few nude photos in the phone are not fatal. For a big conglomerate like International Intermediary Company that operates in the Black World to make such a mistake really upset Mountain Eagle!
"I registered my account yesterday, and today my personal information has been leaked...
Miss Li, generally, interactions that start with malicious intentions do not end well."
Hearing this, Li Chengji on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't expect the famous Mountain Eagle to actually register with his real name. Do you know how many people are impersonating your ID on the International Intermediary Company website to scam contracts?"
Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment and said indifferently, "That has nothing to do with me; verifying identity is the responsibility of International Intermediary Company…"
After finishing, Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, sighed, and then said, "You're probably going to tell me next that you're here to verify my identity..."
Li Chengji said with a smile, "Yes, because only I have met and talked to you at the International Intermediary Company. I can directly confirm your identity just by talking to you.
I don't know how you convinced our VIP clients to connect directly with you, but you should understand that a company needs to maintain constant attention with their main clients.
When I saw your alias, to protect the interests of our VIP clients and also to prevent your name from being used fraudulently, I decided to personally make this call."
Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "What does that mean?
If I'm not Mountain Eagle, even if I completed the task, I wouldn't get paid?"
Li Chengji chuckled and said, "Yes, if you aren't you, not only will you not get paid, but you will also be blacklisted and hunted by the International Intermediary Company for contract fraud."
Mountain Eagle didn't believe Blood Fox would make such a fundamental mistake, but he also didn't think Li Chengji would bother teasing him, he said gravely, "Why? What if there is a namesake?"
Li Chengji said seriously, "Mountain, you underestimate yourself...
Our internal evaluation team would assess the influence of a certain number of well-known mercenaries, assassins, brokers, and agents around the world.
You made the list and ranked quite high!
Mountain Eagle is now your trademark. Even though you never registered on the International Intermediary Company website before, we would still reserve this trademark for you and prevent others from impersonating.
Because verifying the identity of mercenaries is the responsibility of the International Intermediary Company!
Four months ago, someone used your name to accept a security commission for a Philippine tycoon through the International Intermediary Company website. Then he took the client's $500,000 deposit and botched it.
We paid $20 million US dollars in compensation and sent the guy to a Manila black prison to calm the incident down."
Mountain Eagle sighed after listening, saying, "I don't remember doing anything remarkable indq my identity as a mercenary...
You're overestimating me!"
Li Chengji chuckled and said, "You've forgotten; you influenced the intelligence agencies of the US and Russia using Snowden. According to my information, a negotiation about Snowden will be held in Los Angeles next month.
This negotiation involves numerous corporations, intelligence organizations, and political figures...
Mountain, everyone watching you is wondering how much you can gain."
Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle instantly understood Li Chengji's implication, then sighed...
He knew the negotiation couldn't be kept secret from those intent on knowing; he hadn't intended to hide anything, but he didn't expect there to be so many observers...
Everyone knew that the negotiation involved significant intelligence and political interests; inevitably, some would want a share.
Just finding the right party in need, whether assisting one side of the negotiation or simply causing disturbances, could be profitable.
Now Li Chengji had subtly pointed this out, clearly wanting to gain something from him...
Mountain Eagle pondered and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Li Chengji sensed Mountain Eagle's displeasure and said with a smile, "Mountain, you are now a registered user of the International Intermediary Company, hence our client.
Of course, I intend to safeguard you!
Getting the intelligence departments of the US and Russia to sit down together is a big business by itself!"
"I can bring people to Los Angeles to assist you..."
Mountain Eagle had a vague guess and curiously said: "You being so kind makes me feel uneasy...
Let me guess, you're running for a position, or you've already secured a position, and then you need to mediate an influential negotiation to showcase your capabilities...
Hmm, last time you told me you were the senior assistant on the board of directors of the International Intermediary Company in the Asian Region, what is the position above that again..."
Li Chengji paused and said: "Mountain, I am now the acting director of the International Intermediary Company Asian Region!
I need some convincing achievements to secure this position!"
Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said: "Don't lie to me, the more chaotic the situation, the better the business for the International Intermediary Company.
Smoothing out the negotiations would only mean less business for you!"
Li Chengji was silent for a few seconds and then said: "But those businesses have nothing to do with me..."
After giving Mountain Eagle some time to digest the information, Li Chengji continued: "Mountain, many people want to sabotage the negotiations and then use the circumstances to force Snowden to leak secrets for self-preservation.
Those secrets are 'weapons', 'profits', 'favors', even channels of communication...
I believe you can understand!"
Mountain Eagle certainly could understand, otherwise the matter with Snowden wouldn't have dragged on unresolved!
Those secrets can serve as weapons to strike at certain corporations or individuals.
They can serve as bargaining chips, generating substantial profits when used in commercial negotiations.
These will involve many parties because using these illegal secrets for profit or to attack opponents need frequent and high-level mediations with political, business, and media personnel, thus strengthening or even cultivating new corrupt networks.
Ordinary people can't see these things, but in the underworld, these are real and tangible.
Sabotaging the negotiations and pushing Snowden to the brink will generate a demand in the underworld worth billions.
Snowden, a thin man, is seen as a giant whale in the Black World because his explosion would nourish vast areas like a whale fall.
This is why Mountain Eagle has always been insistent on resolving the issue jointly with the United States intelligence organization and that of Russia!
The core interest of Russia at this stage is having the United States shut up about Crimea or reduce pressure.
And the United States cannot afford to have the secrets Snowden possesses be detonated.
Thus, these two organizations are the only ones Mountain Eagle trusts to have the capability and will to thoroughly resolve the Snowden issue!
Of course, Mountain Eagle is also prepared to handle the risks…
Because Snowden will not appear in Los Angeles, no matter how malicious the outside world is, it might all end up focusing on him.
Because as soon as he dies, the communication channels with Snowden will be cut off!
It is because of the high risks of this trip to Los Angeles that Blood Fox has decided to head there in advance…
Faced with Li Chengji's expressed intention, Mountain Eagle hesitated…
Because the International Intermediary Company is indeed very powerful, having the ability to directly convert purchasing power into military or even political power.
Li Chengji's logic is smooth, but Mountain Eagle was unsure if he could trust her!
Sharing the influence of the mediation of the Snowden incident poses no obstacles for Mountain Eagle.
Because he has already obtained the necessary social connections and favors, the rest, without enough power, makes no difference whether he has them or not.
Maybe sensing Mountain Eagle's hesitations, Li Chengji thought for a moment and then seriously said: "The International Intermediary Company Asian Region can publicly act as the third party in negotiations!
I personally will invest 80 million US dollars to set up a Revenge Fund for Snowden!
I'll prepare a mansion in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, as a base, where a top-notch team will be ready at all times to ensure your safety or assist you in any way you wish."
Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment, he wasn't scared by the so-called 80 million US dollars...
While the number sounds intimidating, in reality, if not triggered, this 80 million would remain lying in the fund account of the International Intermediary Company, even providing a certain return to the founder annually.
What truly surprised Mountain Eagle was Li Chengji's determination...
Intervening publicly in such high-level negotiations means the International Intermediary Company is openly taking sides and putting itself as a stake on the negotiation table, risking offending both US and Russia.
But alike, if successful, it would mean that Li Chengji completed the communication work of the US and Russian intelligence organizations in one go.
After achieving a high-level mediation, the influence of the International Intermediary Company would increase significantly.
Once direct communication channels are established between the top leaders, her value as the acting president would dramatically increase.
Feeling Mountain Eagle's hesitation, Li Chengji took advantage of the momentum and said: "Mountain, the 80 million Revenge Fund is not just a security guarantee, it also signifies that the International Intermediary Company will withdraw all tasks related to Snowden.
It also means we will monitor the intelligence related to him at all times and provide advance warnings when potential dangers arise."
Saying so, Li Chengji stated with a very serious attitude: "Mountain, collaborate with me, I will make sure you won't regret it!"
