Chapter 847 - A Choice

Chapter 847: A Choice

When Qu Xuan heard Su Yang’s words, he could not help but recall.

‘I seem to remember that I read the reviews from various media outlets, uploaders, and some phone fanatics’ reviews that the glass phone indeed isn’t a product of this era.

‘Some of the more well-known media outlets even praised the glass phone as the product of modern technology. Some of the more popular media outlets even said that it’s a product with future technology, or rather, alien technology.

‘After all, based on the technology displayed by the glass phone, it’s many levels above modern phones.

‘It feels as if we’re still in the Iron Age, while Su Yang is already in the Steam Age.’

Therefore, when Qu Xuan heard Su Yang mention his technological skills, he thought about it for a while and believed him, which gave him hope.

‘Perhaps... Su Yang really could cure Xue Ya?

‘Maybe... Xue Ya really don’t have to die?’

Thinking of this, Qu Xuan could not help but ask nervously, “President, are you confident?”

Upon hearing Qu Xuan’s direct question, Su Yang pondered for a moment before telling the truth. “To be honest, at this point, I’m still not confident.”

He said honestly, “I was 100% sure that I could save Xue Ya, but unfortunately, those things that could save her have already been used up, and I’m out of stock right now.”

“So... If you ask me whether I’m confident or not, the answer is no.

“But... I can promise you, even if I can’t cure Xue Ya, I have a way to keep you two together.”

When Qu Xuan heard Su Yang’s words, he was stunned for a moment. “Even if she can’t be cured, you can still let us continue to be together?”

Su Yang nodded and did not explain further.

Su Yang had already made an exception by saying that much that day.

Firstly, it was because Qu Xuan had an extraordinary relationship with him. Secondly, Su Yang was truly moved by Qu Xuan’s sincere feelings. If not for these two reasons, Su Yang probably would not have revealed that information.

Qu Xuan could tell that Su Yang did not want to talk about these things since he was a smart person. Hence, he could tell that these were Su Yang’s secrets after thinking about it for a while. ‘If he’s willing to share this much information with me, it means that he treats me as a friend.’

Therefore, he did not ask further. Instead, he said sincerely, “Thank you, President! I’m going to head back and discuss with Xue Ya and ask for her opinion.

“After all, I know that I’ve been torturing her for so long. With the time that she has left, I want her to choose for herself.”

Su Yang did not say anything else. “Sure, I’ll wait for your reply.”

After chatting, the two hung up.

Su Yang hung up the phone. Outside the car window was the brightly lit road of Shanghai. Su Yang looked into the distance where the flames of war seemed to burn the sky. However, his thoughts drifted away.

‘Can I really cure Xue Ya?’

Su Yang was not confident.

That was because he knew how difficult it was to find a cure and the price that he had to pay. It was not that Su Yang did not ask Little Hus to look for special items for treating cancer in the past few months. However, no matter how hard it searched, it could not find anything.

Even if it did find something, the healing ability of the special item it found was very weak. Furthermore, there was a certain price to pay.

Therefore, with Xue Ya’s life on the line, the chance of finding a special item to cure cancer was too low.

However, Su Yang did not lie to Qu Xuan. Even though he might not be able to save Xue Ya, it did not mean that he could not give her a new life.

The [Burning Reincarnation Circus] was Su Yang’s trump card.

Those who were killed by Su Yang, his little monsters, or his special items, would be reborn in the [Burning Reincarnation Circus]. Those who had a strong desire to live would also be summoned back to the circus.

Resurrecting from the circus might make one a monster, but it was also a chance for them to obtain a new life.

Therefore, Su Yang was hesitating whether he should let Xue Ya come back to life in the circus.

There were several reasons for his hesitation. Firstly, Xue Ya and Qu Xuan might not be able to accept that the former would have to become a monster. Secondly, if Xue Ya wanted to enter the circus, Su Yang would have to kill her, or she would need to have a strong desire to live.

Su Yang felt that the first question was not a big problem, but the second question would have certain issues.

‘I need to analyze the specifics.’

After settling everything, Su Yang started the car and drove back to his villa...

The next day, Qu Xuan gave Su Yang a reply. He said that after his persuasion, Xue Ya agreed to stay with Su Yang for a period of time and receive treatment.

Then, he thanked Su Yang again, who did not mind at all.

He had enough money and special abilities at that moment, but he only had a few friends that he had before he became famous. Hence, if he did not help them, he would be left alone.

Therefore, he had Pan Zhaodi go to the hospital to help Qu Xuan and Xue Ya settle the discharge procedures before driving back to the villa.

When Qu Xuan and Xue Ya arrived at the villa, Su Yang was not at home. He was having an internal meeting in the office.

Although it was called an internal meeting, it was actually just with a few senior management staff.

The main content of the internal meeting was the conditions that Yagawa Masaru had made to Jiadian Group.

At the Jiadian headquarters, a few executives were seated in a high-class meeting room on the 10th floor. Su Yang was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. A few executives sat on both sides of him. Zhao Licheng stood opposite him and pointed at the screen as he explained.

“The terms that Yagawa Masaru offered us are very generous, you could say that he’s opened the door for our convenience. Not only is he willing to provide us with assets collateral, low-interest loans, currency exchange, and other businesses, he’s also opening the channels to hundreds of Japanese stores.

“And, at my request, he’s also willing to recommend the leading companies, associations, state bosses, gangs, and other resources of all kinds of industries in Japan. He seems to be very sincere about it.

“Furthermore, when we requested to enter the financial industry and automobile industries, he gave us an affirmative answer. Their country’s big shots can especially approve our passage so that our funds can freely enter and leave, and we can conduct our business fairly.

“So, I think we can consider working with them.”

At the public meeting, in order to prevent the information from leaking and exposing the truth, Zhao Licheng had only given all the surface information without revealing any internal details.

However, as part of the plan, Su Yang understood what he meant. In order to lure Su Yang in, Yagawa Masaru had given Su Yang a series of conditions, such as opening channels, currency exchange, introducing connections, entering the financial industry, etc.

His motive was to allow Su Yang’s funds to enter Japan in large quantities. After the funds entered Japan, Su Yang would definitely need a large amount of funds if he wanted to develop. Hence, low-interest loans became his trap.

The interest rate wasn’t important. What was important was that all loans required collateral. If Su Yang mortgaged the company’s shares or his advanced technology, Yagawa Masaru could then lay siege to Su Yang’s plans in Japan.

As for why Zhao Licheng had requested entry into their financial industry and automobile industries, that is because the financial industry is the easiest industry to encircle with money, and cars are more likely to be occupied in the early stages.

As long as Su Yang was in danger in these two fields, Su Yang’s funds would be trapped.

At the meeting, a few executives questioned Zhao Licheng. They felt that it was too radical to enter a foreign market before the domestic market was fully occupied.

Besides, why should Yoshikawa Yoshihiko help the company get into Japan? Isn’t that strange?

One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.

However, the meeting this time was mainly to convey the company’s next goal to the people present, and not to consider the possibility of entering Japan. So Zhao Licheng briefly explained those doubts before deciding on this plan.

The senior executives did not understand Zhao Licheng’s sudden decision. They thought that Zhao Licheng would be able to see the risks involved. However, when they saw that Su Yang, the big boss, did not raise any objections, they could only hide their doubts in their hearts and silently accept this matter.

After the meeting ended, Su Yang purposely did not return home but returned to the president’s office. As expected, Zhao Licheng knocked on the door and walked in within two minutes.

Su Yang gestured for Jia Xiaoqian, the CEO’s assistant, to leave first. Then, he gestured for Zhao Licheng to sit down.

After everyone left, Su Yang looked at Zhao Licheng and asked, “Did Yagawa Masaru suspect why we chose these two industries?”

Zhao Licheng shook his head. “No. The excuse I came up with was ingenious. Initially, I tried my best to get the glass phone into the Japanese market, but they refused to let go.

“I pretended not to cooperate and prepared to leave to test the other party’s bottom line.

“As expected, they stopped me and told me not to worry. They said that the cellphone industry is a little sensitive, and they do not have the resources to help us. However, we can enter other industries first, so that the country (Japan) can see our sincerity and use. Because of this, it will be easier for us to enter the phone industry.

“After that, I pretended to think about it for a long time. When I thought about Zhongan Automobile, I said with a troubled expression, ‘If you aren’t happy with this, let’s have Zhongan Automobile enter the Japanese market and test the waters first. After all, this is our only real business.’

“The other party did not suspect anything. In fact, he was pleasantly surprised before he agreed.

“Then I took the opportunity to propose the entry into the financial industry, which he did not suspect anything about and agreed.”

Su Yang nodded silently and pondered for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth and said to the void, “Little Deeny, do you have any footages on Yagawa Masaru?”

After two seconds, Little Deeny said, “Yes, Master.”

A moment later, with a flash, a piece of paper appeared on the table.

Su Yang took a look and smiled.

After laughing, Su Yang passed the paper to Zhao Licheng.

Zhao Licheng looked at it and smiled.

This was because the paper recorded Yagawa Masaru’s evaluation of this matter.

Initially, when someone told Yagawa Masaru that Su Yang wanted to enter the automobile industry, Yagawa Masaru’s brows were tightly furrowed. His expression was solemn, and he became alert.

However, when he heard Zhao Licheng mention the financial industry again, he smiled. He thought Zhao Licheng was playing a diversionary tactic. He first mentioned that the auto industry might be a smokescreen, and the finance that he mentioned later was the real purpose of Jiadian Group.

After all, Su Yang’s bloodbath in Hong Kong was well-known throughout Asia. Therefore, it was not surprising that he thought that finance was Su Yang’s real motive.

The technology requirements in the car industry were too high. Furthermore, Su Yang had just bought over a car company, and the process was different. How could he rely on this industry to conquer Japan?

Therefore, it was more likely that he wanted to rely on finance.

After ‘analyzing Su Yang’s true motive’, Yagawa Masaru also made a corresponding response. That was to wait for Su Yang’s funds to slowly come in so that the country could seal off Su Yang’s financial path of retreat. For the time being, they would use financial control as a requirement so that Su Yang had no way of backing out. Then, they would start to use large amounts of funds to attack Su Yang.

Yagawa Masaru believed that Su Yang’s chances of success were close to 1%.

Su Yang and Zhao Licheng looked at each other and smiled.

Su Yang lamented, “Yagawa Masaru is really old for you to be able to plan so thoroughly.”

Zhao Licheng didn’t deny it. He smiled and said, “After all, he’s already over 70.”

At this point, Su Yang could finally put his heart at ease. He stood up and said, “Alright, then you’ll be in charge of this plan. I’ll keep an eye on the technical aspects. As for the rest, I don’t care.

“I have something else to do. I might not have much time recently. You can make the decision yourself.”

Zhao Licheng asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Su Yang waved his hand. “You can’t help me. It’s related to life and death. If nothing unexpected happens, we might be welcoming a new companion.”

Zhao Licheng understood what Su Yang meant. He nodded and did not say anything else.

Just then, Jia Xiaoqian returned. Su Yang and Zhao Licheng chatted for a while more before they left the company.

After sending Jia Xiaoqian to the inspection area, Su Yang drove back to the villa.

When he returned to the villa, Qu Xuan and Xue Ya had already arrived. They were currently touring the villa with Pan Zhaodi.

Due to Xue Ya’s illness, her originally thin frame had become even thinner. At a glance, one would feel like she was just skin and bones.

Coupled with the hair loss from chemotherapy and radiotherapy, his face was pale and bloodless, and there were needle holes on her arm. Her haggard appearance made one’s heart ache.

The same went for Qu Xuan. Even though he was not sick, he had lost a lot of weight. His handsome, sunny face was dark, and his smooth chin was covered with stubble. Those who did not know him would not think that he was a college student.

People would probably even believe that he was in his 30s...
