"Mr. Yi, I'm really disappointed in how you're treating your partners," Fia's somewhat angry voice on the satellite phone made Yang Xiaoyou chuckle a bit.
After discussing with Yannick for quite some time, he successfully confirmed the partnership with Both Sides. It wasn't just a collaboration on Arms and Aspects; Yang Xiaoyou also agreed to prioritize their hiring under equal conditions.
Although this operation was a bit troublesome, a contract worth nearly ten million dollars was signed. With the profits from Arms, this contract could earn several million dollars. The total transaction amount for the first three months was about the same, making it extremely worthwhile.
After swallowing this business, continuous development was enhanced. Coupled with the good news from Mo Wenfu, the situation with the Serpent was not causing much of a stir anymore. However, since they hadn't put all their cards on the table, it would still take some time to deal with the remaining forces.
Fortunately, he no longer needed to worry about the cleanup.
Just as he was contemplating a trip to England to see if he could catch up with his parents, he received a call from that somewhat eccentric princess.
"I didn't sell you out; I just didn't want to ruin my relationship with the AB Alliance. I only want to make money and have no interest in stirring up trouble between you two," Yang Xiaoyou replied nonchalantly to the questions from the other end of the satellite phone.
"Hey? Weren't we getting along quite well? How about we partner up to take down AB together?" Fia seemed to have just taken a shower, her hair damp as she tilted her head while holding the phone.
"The cooperation is only on Algeria's side. Your Foundation is much deeper than mine; the benefits you've gained from Yannick probably far exceed what I've gotten. As for the AB Alliance, you big shots can fight it out among yourselves. I can't afford to get involved; as long as it doesn't affect me, I'll just pray for your success," Yang Xiaoyou dismissed her olive branch without a second thought.
Currently, maintaining such a state indicated that his combat power exceeded his territorial capabilities but posed no threat to Both Sides' fundamental status. Being too strong could provoke unnecessary fear, while being too weak might lead to being devoured.
This was indeed a rare developmental phase; he would consider other matters after digesting the benefits gained from Algeria.
"Tch, what an unfeeling fellow, just like an old man," Fia complained before hanging up.
"Boss, was that a call from your future mother-in-law?" Noah, who had been holding back his comments, couldn't help but grin after Yang Xiaoyou hung up.
"Ha, I can't believe you thought of that. I can't handle that kind of character; who knows when I'd get sold out," Yang Xiaoyou found Noah's teasing amusing.
"Actually, Boss, you two are quite compatible. You're both in Arms and are so capable; your voice doesn't sound like an old man's at all," Noah said while counting on his fingers like they were carrots.
It was amusing for Ben and Fein to witness the situation unfold.
Just as everything seemed to be going smoothly and Yang Xiaoyou was ready to set off for England, a piece of bad news came from Nobunaga Hideyoshi.
Initially, with the support of new funding, he and Gustav were negotiating quite well with their original supply channel. However, out of nowhere, another arms dealer emerged, a secondary agent of Ragnarok Arms Company. This competitor was a legitimate professional, far stronger than Yang Xiaoyou, who operated as a Free Arms Dealer.
Under normal circumstances, even HLI Company would treat such agents with respect. They typically specialized in their own business and rarely engaged in the more labor-intensive and complex dealings of Free Arms.
When faced with a tight situation, most Free Arms Dealers would choose to concede, understanding that these agents were not permanent fixtures in the area and only occasionally sought extra profits.
However, hearing that the secondary agent of Thunder God Corporation was coming to snatch away his nearly secured supply channel left Yang Xiaoyou feeling uneasy.
While Thunder God Corporation's strongest aspects were Radar and missiles, it seemed unlikely that their secondary agent would come to steal some obsolete products. Thunder God Corporation had extensive connections; if they wanted such channels, acquiring them would be relatively easy without needing to venture into England's territory.
"Is this trouble brought by Elder Josen? Or does Thunder God have other intentions towards this aging empire?" After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiaoyou spoke to Nobunaga Hideyoshi on the phone.
"Don't worry about their identity. Just try to secure what you can. Do your best; if we can't outmaneuver them, it’s not a big deal."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaoyou considered meeting Hank again. As an American company, Thunder God surely had much more information than he did.
If the competition stemmed solely from their own factors, he would be annoyed but not overly concerned. They could fight for it; if they lost, they lost. The most crucial aspect of this operation had already been established.
He wanted that supply channel; however, if he couldn't secure it, then so be it. His current influence was still somewhat limited. Dealing with professionals like them could be troublesome; although their armed forces might not be very strong, they had numerous official channels that made things inconvenient.
However, if the other party was targeting him because of Elder Josen's issues, then it wouldn't be so easy to let it go.
"Have you been out having fun for a long time?" In a cozy hotel in Paris's Chinatown, an elderly man dressed in traditional attire smiled as he saw a somewhat shy-looking young boy walk in while reading a newspaper at the entrance.
"Yes, Paris is indeed a beautiful city," Yang Xiaoyou said with a polite smile to the elderly man who ran the inn.
Unlike in their home country, where people preferred to wear trendy clothing, here one could see many Chinese wearing traditional attire, as well as White and Black individuals.
"Haha, that's true. However, the pace of development back home is astonishing. By the way, during the time you were away, a sickly foreigner came looking for you. Let me see if I can find his number," the old man chattered for a moment before seemingly recalling something. He got up and started rummaging behind the front desk. After a short while, he handed over a piece of paper.
"Thank you, sir." After glancing at the contact number on the note, Yang Xiaoyou expressed gratitude and then headed to the room he had booked.
As for Hank coming to find him, that was entirely expected. To ensure Nobunaga Hideyoshi could successfully persuade the other party, he had shared all the sticky details with Nobunaga Hideyoshi.
It would be strange if Hank didn't throw a fit upon discovering that Yang Xiaoyou had told others about these matters.
Of course, Yang Xiaoyou needed to provoke that reaction; otherwise, if Hank thought he was the only one aware of these issues, he might start harboring ill intentions.
Knowing so much that one shouldn't know and still being alive meant that fellow was no pushover.
Next week there would be a strong push for promotion; once that was done, it would be time for release again. It felt rather unfortunate to have another end-of-month release. However, given how disappointing the results had been already, it was easier to let go—regretting!
