Dai Yunkai sighed inwardly. He really hoped that Xu Fu could come back. With his abilities and mastery of science and technology, China would become the world's number one power in just a few years. However, he was also certain that someone like George Bernard Shaw would never fall to the level of others.

“Mr. Xiao, if possible, we hope to engage in in-depth cooperation with you, not only in business but also in other areas. To show our sincerity, we are willing to make concessions on the ShowMe issue.”

Xu Fu wanted to know, "Have you made a decision?"

“I was fully authorized before coming here.” “I mean what I say.”

"It seems we need to have a serious talk."

An hour later, the conversation ended, Xu Fu got up and left, and Dai Yunkai also returned to the temporary office on the second floor, where he waited for the busy Qi Jianqiu.

"So, was it successful?"

Dai Yunkai took off his suit jacket and loosened his tie, then took a long breath.

"A preliminary consensus has been reached."

Hearing this, Qi Jianqiu, who had been suspended in the air, finally landed. This time, he gave them an ultimatum: if they still couldn't complete the mission, the person mentioned earlier would be replaced. Recalling everything that had happened before, he couldn't help but say.

"I just don't understand what happened outside that made them suddenly change their minds?"

"Because we're all finished."

"What do you mean?"

Dai Yunkai poured cold water into a cup, tilted his head back, swallowed the water, and said softly.

"As mentioned earlier, the idea was to use him to deal with the ancient martial arts world and the Taoist sect, and then negotiate afterwards. However, not only did it fail, but he also gained the upper hand. Now go outside and see what a bunch of fools who practice boxing are saying about Xu Fu-Xiao. They wish they could recognize him as their father."

"That's wrong!"

Qi Jianqiu frowned: "They must hate George Bernard Shaw."

Da Yunhai smiled and shook his head, then sat down on the sofa and asked a trivial question.

"Old Qi, if someone puts you up against the world boxing champion and you lose, you'll hate him."

"How could that be? We're not even on the same level."

Da Yunhai then asked, "Would you be proud of this?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jianqiu was stunned, his eyes filled with shock and hesitation. After a long while, he finally said, "They won't!"

"I also think it's impossible. It turns out that Zhang Aijiu became a god under Xu Fu-Xiao's control, tearing apart the hands of the thousand-year-old zombies. His physical body carried thunder and storms. Under the influence of countless spiritual energies, the boxers who lost to him not only did not harbor resentment, but instead felt something akin to honor."

"Xiao Zhiguo, through Ajiu's intervention, elevated the status of the ancient martial arts world to an extremely high level. With such a rise in status, how could the various sects not be eternally grateful to him, like door panels?" He sighed deeply after saying this, and continued...

"It has already been returned, but some sects still shamelessly hope that Zhang Aijiu will inscribe words on the plaque by the door."

"You finally understand the meaning of the phrase 'turn your hand to make clouds, turn it back to make rain.'"

"He treated everyone like fools, but what about us?" He was always ready to help others, but I'm ashamed to recall it.

"That boy can only be a friend, not an adversary—that's the conclusion given above."

"Old Qi, we lost. We lost badly."

Chapter 1443 Before leaving

Once a consensus is reached, the next step is straightforward.

Tesla will invest billions of dollars to build a mega-factory in Shanghai and a major metropolitan area in the south to produce civilian powered armor and other products. In return, the local government will provide certain compensation in terms of funding and taxes.

As for ShowMe, the situation is more complicated. After much negotiation, both sides compromised. China allowed ShowMe to retain a certain degree of autonomy, but its data must be subject to control and scrutiny. This situation is not suitable for ShowMe executives like Zacks and Charlie, who want to maintain their independence in order to reflect the company's corporate structure.

Xu Fu knew very well that this was impossible; he had already done very well to get this far.

After several days of arguments and debates, the two sides finally reached a consensus and immediately announced the cooperation to the global economic community.

ShowMe and Tesla's market capitalization surged, increasing by 30% overnight.

Due to his large share of stocks, Xu Fu's net worth also soared, squeezing into the top ten of the rich list. It would be difficult for a top billionaire with assets of tens of billions in his twenties not to become famous.

The media went wild reporting on this event, with some magazines exaggeratingly defining this decade as the "Xu Fu era."

His name has spread throughout the world, becoming a benchmark for parents in educating their children and an idol for countless young people.

Gradually, information about his past, marital status, parents, relatives, etc., was revealed. If Xu Fu had deliberately concealed this information before, now he could no longer hide it.

This is the price you have to pay to become a celebrity.

As more and more information came to light, people realized that Xu Fu, whose net worth was in the tens of billions, was not only a billionaire, but also had intricate connections with the Mafia.

His grandfather, Xiao Zhongqing, was the former head of the Hongmen, and his two uncles were also senior members of the Hongmen. His mother, Bai Zhi, died young and was a famous war correspondent.

The perpetrator's daughter actually escaped to become a war correspondent, and the story behind this is worth pondering. As for the father, that number is blank; no one knows who he is.

At a hotel in Shanghai, Linda threw a box of media interview transcripts on the table and said with a helpless expression.

I think you should disappear for a while.

"Once things are settled here, I'll find a quiet place to practice the Celestial Master's Strategy. I'll leave the company's affairs to you."

Linda frowned: "Don't treat me like a subordinate. I have absolutely no interest in managing the company."

Xu Fu smiled and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"Practicing martial arts"

"Is there nothing else to do besides martial arts?"

“I have a lot of things to do: Seaworn and I run shops, eat, and buy clothes together. When I’m in a good mood, I fight against the dark forces of Gotham with Barbara. Anyway, it’s much more fun than running a company.”

Xu Fu's heart trembled, but he said calmly, "I still don't understand one thing: how did you and Barbara meet?"

"This is between you and me, why are you telling me?"

Xu Fu shook his head and continued inspecting the armor project. Linda stared at him for a while, at a loss, and then said, "I don't know."

"I just don't understand why you're so interested in armor. It's not like you're tired of looking at blueprints every day."

"You wouldn't understand men's hobbies."

"Nonsense, I think you're just trying to pick up girls. That's how you tricked Barbara: you gave her clothes and armor, lured her into bed, and then abandoned her."

You are a despicable person.

Xu Fu was too lazy to pay attention to her. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; who knows what she's thinking? Linda sneered, a little unhappy and a little jealous. It took her a while to calm down. I don't know what she was thinking. Her eyes rolled and suddenly turned gloomy. "Do you know?"

"I'm asking you, is your mother's name Angelica?"

"Why do you want to become a gossip?"

"I'm not a reporter. I'm just curious what's going on online—that your mother returned to the Middle East shortly after giving birth to you and was hit by a stray bullet."

The girl looked at Xu Fu and asked cautiously, "Is it true?"

I don't know much about her. If you want to know, you can ask my grandfather.

Linda's eyes widened.

"I dare not ask. Last time, as soon as I opened my mouth, the old man's face turned purple and became unusually cold, which almost scared me to death."

"If you're afraid, don't speak."

Linda looked Xu Fu up and down but didn't find any other emotion on his face.

You don't seem to care about your parents.

Do you care about complete strangers?

"A stranger?"

The girl was surprised, "You call them strangers."

"then what?"

Xu Fu spread his hands: "If you want to continue this topic, I suggest you get off the bus, turn left, and go take a nap."

You are such an unreasonable person.

Linda swung her fist, making a hissing sound.

Not long after she left, the door was pushed open again, and Lin Xiuzi, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in. The old man looked much better, his back was straight, his hair was neatly combed, and he no longer had the dull appearance he had before.

Upon seeing him, Xu Fu couldn't help but frown.

· ·Requesting flowers····· ······

"Didn't you say you weren't coming back?"

"Leaving a poor family and hometown is difficult; there are some things you just can't understand."

The old man sighed and sat down opposite Xu Fu: "Xiao, I want to thank you. Without you, I might never have been able to return to China."

"If you want to thank me, thank your student; I helped her."

The old man's expression changed at the mention of Linda; he frowned, "Linda..."

"You're not looking at Linda!"

"Why, no!"

The old man had a toothache and wanted to angrily reprimand his disciple, but he didn't dare to speak and could only murmur helplessly.

"What about Carol Ferras? She's been with you for years, are you just going to leave her like this?"
