The 235th floor of the Cloud-Touching Tower is the headquarters of the Ximenjia Consortium.
The headquarters of many well-known conglomerates in the Guta Federation are located inside the Cloud-Touching Tower.
At this moment, sunlight streamed through the glass window onto the wooden floor. Kusisi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing quietly out the window. His shadow stretched long behind him, and beneath his brows, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if he were lost in thought.
This young man possesses a temperament distinctly different from his peers, like a calm ocean with a tranquil exterior but a turbulent interior.
A knock came at the door, and a moment later, a well-dressed woman from Guta Star People entered, bowing and saying, "Chairman, Earl Campbell of the Gendaya Royal Court from Planet Oklo wishes to meet with you, saying he has important matters to discuss."
"A count from the Gendaya Royal Court?" Kusisi frowned slightly. "Do we have business dealings with this man?"
"No." The secretary shook her head.
"Then just dismiss me however you like. Just say I'm not at headquarters for the time being." Kusisi waved his hand. The size of the Ximenjia Consortium was enormous, and as its head, his actual status was in no way inferior to that of the Prime Minister of the Gendaya Royal Court.
Logo's reputation was still in the accumulation stage. Kusisi had never heard of Earl Campbell and had no interest in developing any new business at this time. His priority was to eliminate the negative influence brought by his father and stabilize the situation.
However, his secretary did not immediately turn and leave to carry out Kusisi's orders. Instead, she spoke softly, "Chairman, according to information from the intelligence department, a few days ago, Earl Campbell dined with Beilike's clone. What do you think..."
"Oh? Is that so?" Kusisi turned around, thought for a moment, and said, "Then bring him over."
The secretary withdrew, and a moment later, Logo entered alone. Gain and Caesar, who were not allowed to enter, were waiting outside.
"Hello, Chairman Kusisi." Logo greeted first, his Eye of Insight on his forehead flashing subtly, catching some information.
"Sure enough, a similar aura." Logo thought to himself. He discovered that almost all the high-ranking members of the Guta Federation possessed this aura, which was extremely similar to the Dark Flesh aura in the spatial rift.
This is by no means a coincidence.
Kusisi nodded slightly, then smiled warmly, "It's a great honor to have Earl Campbell visit. Please have a seat!"
After Logo sat down, the two exchanged a few brief words.
Then, Logo got straight to the point.
"May I ask, Chairman, do you wish to capture Beilike?"
Upon hearing this, Kusisi's fingers trembled slightly, but he didn't show it on his face. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Your Excellency means..."
"It's nothing, I just wanted to make friends with the chairman." Logo leaned back in his leather chair, leisurely observing the young Guta People opposite him.
Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes lit up; from Logo's words, Kusisi caught something unusual.
"How much money are you planning to ask for?" Kusisi asked tentatively.
"It depends on your sincerity." Logo chuckled, displaying an unfathomable side, like a shadowy figure hidden in a thick Mist, elusive and hard to fathom.
This attitude gave Kusisi a headache, and Logo's behavior undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.
It's highly likely that Beilike has fallen into the enemy's hands. Even if not, Earl Campbell must have some crucial intelligence, otherwise he wouldn't be so fearless.
After hesitating for a moment, Kusisi held up one finger and quoted a price that he thought was enough to show his sincerity, but not high enough.
"Ten million?"
Negotiations certainly don't start with a high price; it's normal to begin with a low price to test the waters. As for forceful acquisition, Kusisi is a typical businessman; he generally won't resort to violence if something can be resolved with money, especially since the young man in front of him isn't without connections.
Logo stared at Kusisi for a few seconds before slowly saying, "It seems that Beilike isn't important to you. I misjudged you. Farewell!"
After saying this, Logo made a move to get up and leave.
Seeing this, Kusisi did not show any anxiety. He sat quietly in place, watching Logo walk further and further away.
Only when Logo placed his hand on the door did Kusisi seem deflated, shaking his head helplessly and saying, "You've won against the Earl, so what price would satisfy you?"
Kusisi was prepared for a massive hemorrhage.
He hated Belik to the Beilike, which not only led to his father being imprisoned but also dealt a heavy blow to the Ximenjia Consortium.
According to the finance department's estimates, this severe shock will cause the conglomerate at least 10 billion in economic losses.
This is only a short-term loss. In the long run, the Ximenjia Consortium's reputation has been severely damaged, and it will be extremely difficult to repair.
As a result, not a single person in the entire conglomerate's upper echelons didn't want to devour Beilike alive.
If Kusisi can capture Beilike, his position as chairman will be completely unshakeable.
For both public and private reasons, Kusisi would never let Beilike slip away once he had his hands on him.
Logo turned around and chuckled. "Chairman Kusisi, I don't recall ever saying I would sell Beilike to you, did I?"
"What do you mean?" Kusisi's face darkened, thinking that Logo was playing a trick on him.
"You've misunderstood. I've already said that I'm here to make friends with the chairman. I don't care about money. Shouldn't friends help each other?" Logo smiled calmly, then turned around, opened the door, and walked out of Kusisi's office.
This time, the latter did not stop him, but instead pondered the meaning behind Logo's words.
A moment later, he opened his communication terminal and asked the smart assistant to look up information about Logo, and quickly learned about the fledgling Ruibeite Company.
"Mutual assistance..." Kusisi muttered to himself, then summoned his secretary and instructed, "From today onwards, include this Ruibeite Company in our key partner list, and leverage the conglomerate's connections to help it develop."
"Ruibete Group?" the secretary asked, puzzled. "I've never heard of that name before."
Kusisi offered no explanation, simply turning around and saying, "Go do it!"
"Yes!" The secretary withdrew.
Not long after Logo returned to the hotel, he received a message from the Ximenjia Consortium.
It was said that the Ruibete Group had been included in the list of important partners of the Ximenjia Consortium, and he was invited to sign a relevant cooperation agreement.
Logo readily agreed. After signing the contract, he had Tiffany and her brother, who had returned from purchasing the security equipment, carry the metal box containing Beilike and hand it over to Kusisi.
