"Let's go to your office for a chat. Others can take a break as long as they don't leave the living room. You can do whatever else you want."
Hans, who looks very much like a university professor, also behaves very gentlemanly at this time.
After finding the target he wanted, he invited Aoki to leave with him and deliberately relaxed his control on others.
"The suits are very beautiful. John Philips is a custom-made brand in London. I also own two sets. I heard that Leonardo also has their own custom-made suits."
When Hans took Aoki to the office upstairs, he chatted with him on the way.
However, Aoki was in a tense moment at this time, so naturally he would not respond to his words.
"La la la"
Hans was not angry about this, on the contrary, he hummed a tune happily.
"Wow, it's a very avant-garde design. I heard that when Alexander saw the map of his vast empire, he actually cried because there was no place left for him to conquer."
"The design of this bridge is so beautiful. I really hope you can build it as soon as possible. When I was a child, I was obsessed with making models. I especially attached great importance to proportional data and was unwilling to make any mistakes in any details."
When entering Aoki's office, Hans was immediately attracted by the unfinished building and a model of a bridge.
Then he couldn't help but comment on the two buildings.
"This is what you came for. This is the design drawing produced by our cooperative company. If you need it, I can recommend their contact information to you."
Aoki obviously couldn't stand the other person's chattering, so he simply interrupted the other person's words.
"NO! NO! NO! If we are talking about this, there is no need to come to you. Zhongfu Group is a listed company. As a partner of such a major plan, I can get their information by just reading the newspaper."
Hans also heard the sarcasm in Aoki's words, but he was not angry.
Instead, he took the initiative to step forward, put his hand gently on the other person's shoulder, and then controlled the other person's body and walked inside.
"Mr. Aoki, if it's just a casual chat, we can talk about clothing and industrial design all day long, but I don't think you have that in mind, so let's work first."
"My colleague Theo, he has some problems that he needs your help to solve."
Hans made his request while leading Aoki to the other party's desk.
"To put it simply, I actually want your help to complete a few simple fill-in-the-blank questions."
Hans said it very easily.
Aoki walked into the office and found a black man opening his computer. When he saw him coming in, the other person pushed the keyboard towards Aoki and then stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.
"You want my power-on password. What's the use of it? No matter what information you get, the head office in Tokyo will make targeted changes tomorrow morning. It's impossible for you to use our information for blackmail."
Aoki saw that the other party wanted his power-on password, and he immediately became angry and wanted to remind the other party.
"sit down!"
But this time, before he could finish speaking, Hans suddenly emphasized his tone.
After hearing the other party's order, Aoki turned around and looked at the black holes pointing at him, and he sat down calmly.
"Mr. Aoki, I'm not interested in your computer. What I care about is the $640 million worth of bearer bonds locked in your vault that are controlled by your computer."
At this point, Hans stopped going around in circles with Aoki and directly stated his purpose.
"This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for the size of Zhongfu Group, and you must have bought insurance for it, so now as long as you cooperate with me in entering the password to control the vault, when we get the bond,
You can go back to sleep."
As Hans spoke, he removed the silencer from the pistol, and then the gunman pointed it at Aoki. The threat was obvious.
"It's useless for me to enter the password. There are seven passwords in the vault, and the computer only controls one of them. The vault can only be opened with authorization from Tokyo."
When Aoki heard that the other party was really here for the bond, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Then there is no need for you to keep the secret. Please cooperate and enter the password."
Hans was not surprised at all when he heard Aoki's words. It seemed that he had already known the conditions for opening the Nakatomi Group's treasury.
After hearing what Hans said, Aoki chose to remain silent.
Although the control password in his computer was only one of them, he knew very well that if he really entered the password actively, regardless of whether the bond was lost or not, his position as president would definitely be lost.
"Mr. Aoki, your suit is very beautiful. You don't want to get it dirty. That would be a pity."
Regarding Aoki's silence, Hans chose to press forward step by step.
"I can count from one to three. There will never be a number four. Tell me the password, one!"
Seeing that Aoki still didn't answer, Hans simply gave him a final warning.
"I said, I don't know. You can take a plane to Tokyo and ask our president for authorization. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
When Aoki heard Hans' threat, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
After hearing Aoki's words and seeing the other person's expression, Hans was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"All right!"
boom--
Gunfire rang out.
In Aoki's stunned eyes, the bullet passed through his forehead and then shot out from the back of his head, bringing with it a burst of blood.
Blood splashed onto the glass, startling John who was hiding under the desk in the lobby. He didn't even care whether it would alert the crowd inside, and ran directly towards the fire escape next to him.
"What, I heard gunshots again, Mr. Aoki was killed?"
Zhang Pin was not surprised when he saw John running down panting.
After the two of them came out of the hall, they had a dispute about where to go.
What Sir Zhang means is that it is best to go downstairs and take a look. If no one stops you, go out and call the police.
John thought it would be better to call the police directly, but since neither of them had mobile phones, they had to find a landline number.
In addition, the building is not yet completed, and only the floor where Zhongfu Group is located has a telephone line.
John chose to go upstairs and make a phone call.
But after he went up, he discovered that the phone lines in the entire building had been cut long ago. What was even worse was that before he could leave, Hans came up with Aoki.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and hid under the desk in time, he would have almost been blocked by the other party.
"Yes, they seemed to want to open some vault. I heard Mr. Aoki shouting "terrorist"."
John never expected that he would encounter such a thing after he came to attend the banquet.
"Their firepower is very strong, and I suspect that their previous words of not killing people were just a temporary lie."
After seeing Aoki being killed with his own eyes, John suddenly became even more panicked.
His own safety was pretty good. After all, this building had dozens of floors and only a dozen terrorists. Logically speaking, if they wanted to hide, they might not be able to find him.
But his wife Holly was different. The other party was arrested. If those guys didn't keep their words and killed people after achieving their goals, the situation would become even worse.
Although John ran very decisively before, he did not really disregard his wife's safety.
At that time, running away was just the instinct of an old policeman.
Because it was impossible for him alone to defeat those gunmen in the presence of so many innocent people.
Rather than being caught together with Holly, it would be better to escape like now and then find a way to save others.
But now that the critical moment has really come, John is not sure anymore.
"Don't worry, I have thought of some ways, but I'm not sure if they will work."
Zhang Pin heard John's inquiry and looked at the delay alarm on the wall.
"Yes, if there is a fire, 911 can also be called."
John is a policeman himself, so at first he just wanted to call the police.
Now that I received Zhang Pin's reminder, I immediately realized that the fire alarm system of a high-rise building like this must be connected to the fire brigade's alarm system.
He immediately found a fire ax and prepared to destroy the fire alarm.
"There's no rush, let's find an escape route first, otherwise they can locate us after they pass the fire alarm location."
Sir Zhang had not been idle before. He had long guessed that the purpose of this group of people should be the 640 million bearer bonds recently purchased by Zhongfu Group.
The main reason why Zhang Pin chose to hide was that he suspected that this so-called robbery was most likely directed and performed by Aoki himself.
After all, he has not forgotten that Zhongfu Group has a debt of one billion due at the end of the month, but they currently do not have enough funds in their company accounts to pay this debt.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that if the other party does something like this, they can take the opportunity to claim compensation from the insurance company.
With such a large amount of bearer bonds deposited in the company, the other party must have purchased insurance.
But this conjecture was shattered by the gunfire just now.
After all, no matter how much Aoki directs and acts, he will not make fun of his own life.
Ruling out the possibility of Aoki directing and acting, Sir Zhang was not only not happy, but also became more cautious.
Since Aoki didn't direct or act himself, the matter became more complicated.
After Sir Zhang left the hall, he waited at the fire escape to observe the situation inside.
So he heard with his own ears that this group of suspected terrorists seemed to know the situation of Zhongfu Group very well.
Since they know the situation of Zhongfu Group very well, does it contain any information about themselves?
And if the matter was not arranged by Aoki, then what was the purpose of the people hiding behind the scenes planning all this? Zhang Pin did not believe that the other party was just greedy for money.
After all, bearer bonds may seem easy to sell, but you must know that this is a bond worth 640 million.
Although such a large bond is theoretically anonymous, as long as it appears on the market, both the issuer and the banking system will definitely know about it.
Don't look at the fact that the annual transaction volume of the American bond market is in the trillions, so the amount of several hundred million is not a big splash compared to the overall situation.
But US$600 million is definitely a big number for transactions in the bond market.
After all, such a large sum of money, compared to the average family in America, is the annual income of tens of millions of families.
So even if the money is stolen by them, it stands to reason that it will be easily traced.
Unless it is handled by an agency or force that no one dares to investigate.
But if it is that kind of institution, with a theoretical transaction volume of several hundred million, they would look down upon it.
After all, if an existence of that size wants to earn 600 million, it doesn't need to be so troublesome.
They can easily earn more than 600 million by simply sending a document, saying a few words, or making a statement on an important occasion.
Sir Zhang himself always likes to do some little tricks, and he likes to use seemingly unexpected scenes to cover up his intentions, so when encountering such things, he naturally likes to compare his feelings with others.
After such a comparison, he always felt that the other party's purpose this time was not to grab bonds, but to do something.
Don't forget, Ohashi Bank had ideas about the Zhongfu Group, but now the group has been robbed.
If Zhongfu Group's business in America is completely destroyed due to this incident, it means that the investment of the Bridge Group has been wasted.
Sir Zhang is naturally worried that this operation is targeting the Daqiao Group.
You must know that he has just beaten Aoki this time, and the other party's reaction is obviously not very resistant to the investment of the Bridge Group.
But now that Aoki, who was interested in Ohashi Group, is dead, what attitude the next president of Nakatomi Group will have towards Ohashi Group, and even the reaction of Nakatomi Group in Tokyo, will all affect Ohashi Group's move to take over Nakatomi Group.
The first force that wants to prevent Daqiao Group from taking over Zhongfu Group must be Zhongfu Group’s existing capital.
After all, Zhongfu Group belongs to them, and they certainly don't want outsiders to take charge.
But if it were someone from Zhongfu Group's headquarters, their actions wouldn't be so rough.
After all, it stands to reason that as the current owners, they have many ways to resist the takeover of the Bridge Bank. If they do this, they will lose a thousand to themselves. It is very likely that because of bankruptcy, it will make it easier for the Bridge Group to take over.
After excluding the people from the Zhongfu Group headquarters, there are not many suspicious targets left.
Zhongfu Group is now not as good as before due to operating problems, but with years of business accumulation, the value of Zhongfu Group is naturally not low.
So there must be a lot of forces eyeing this piece of fat.
But they are the same as the current board members of Zhongfu Group.
Since these people have their sights on Zhongfu Group, even if they want to stop Ohashi Bank, they cannot use this method.
Because doing this can be regarded as flipping the table. When the time comes to pay such a big representative, you will not get any benefits, but will make you feel embarrassed. ()
