Chapter 193 North American Agent

Hong Kong, Bayview Center Building.

As the fountain pen tip drew the final stroke on the paper, the bright red seal fell.

The "Strategic Cooperation Memorandum" between Red Star Technology and Huajun Group officially took effect.

"Manager Lin, from now on."

"Huajun is the legs of your Red Star, and also its shield."

Xie Wendong stood up, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Logistics, foreign exchange settlement, overseas customs declaration."

"As long as you manufacture the goods."

"Huajun will pave the road for the rest!"

"Happy cooperation."

Lin Xi put away his fountain pen and swept his gaze over Victoria Harbour outside the window.

The sea surface was sparkling.

But he knew that beneath this calm, a giant wave was about to surge.

Just after sending off Xie Wendong and his party, the phone rang.

The operator indicated it was an urgent long-distance call.

Lin Xi picked up the receiver, and Sun Erga's anxious voice came through.

"Manager Lin! Something happened!"

Sun Erga said on the other end, "That foreigner Harrison, he's gone crazy!"

Lin Xi frowned slightly: "Speak slowly, what happened?"

"The Canton Fair opened today."

"Harrison arrived in Yangcheng yesterday."

"I followed your instructions and took him to see our new product 'Red Star - qingjing'."

"As a result, this old guy acted like he had lost his soul, he didn't even look at it."

"He was just babbling nonsense there."

Sun Erga took a breath.

"It was even more outrageous at the venue just now, he grabbed my hand and kept asking where the prophet was."

"He said only you can save his life."

"Looking at him, it didn't seem like he was acting."

"It looked more like something big happened at home."

Lin Xi tapped his fingers on the desktop twice.

Harrison was the procurement director of Sears Department Store.

Logically speaking, relying on the Red Star · gentle breeze from the year before last, and the explosion of the forest oxygen bar last year, he should be riding high right now.

"Wait for me, don't hang up."

Lin Xi closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly sank into the livestream.

"Everyone, do me a favor."

Lin Xi said in his mind, "Check the historical archives of Sears Department Store in 1982."

"Especially regarding senior personnel changes."

"Focus on the name Harrison Robert, and see what exactly happened to him."

In the livestream, the netizens instantly became active.

【Good guy, I love checking this kind of business gossip! Found it, found it!】

【Streamer, this Harrison is purely a scapegoat! The data says that in early 1982, there was a power struggle within Sears. Simmons, the vice president of the appliance department, framed Harrison for taking kickbacks in order to promote his own nephew.】

【That's right! Now Harrison has been suspended for auditing, and that group of people is planning to send him to jail and then let his nephew take over Harrison's work.】

【This is a typical case of killing the donkey after it has ground the grain; this time Harrison was tragically 'optimized'.】

【Although there are some differences between him now and history, it should be this matter.】

Looking at the information scrolling on the bullet screen, Lin Xi sneered.

So that was it.

In this commercial jungle where the weak are prey to the strong, meritorious officials without a background often die the fastest.

Lin Xi's thoughts turned rapidly, and he instantly had an idea.

He instructed Er Ga: "Tell him to come to Hong Kong immediately."

"I'll wait for him at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel."

...

The next afternoon, Mandarin Oriental Hotel cafe.

When Harrison appeared at the door, Lin Xi almost didn't recognize him.

The elite Harrison from last year, with his meticulously combed hair, stiff suit, and full of business logic, was gone.

Replacing him was a middle-aged man with stubble, a crooked tie, and deep fear in his eyes.

As soon as he saw Lin Xi, he rushed over unsteadily, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood.

"Lin! Save me!"

"You must save me!"

Harrison ignored the surprised gazes around him.

He sat down opposite Lin Xi with a thud, his hands gripping the edge of the table tightly.

"You are the prophet of the East."

"You know feng shui, you must have a way!"

Harrison babbled incoherently, "I've been so unlucky recently, God has abandoned me..."

"No, it's my feng shui that has gone wrong!"

"Obviously the performance is so good, why..."

He shook his hand, trying to pick up the coffee, but spilled it all over the table.

Lin Xi watched him quietly without speaking.

He just beckoned for the waiter to change the tablecloth.

After Harrison calmed down a little, Lin Xi spoke slowly and methodically:

"Robert, there is nothing wrong with your feng shui."

"Then why?! "

Harrison roared with red eyes, "They want to destroy me, and they want to take away all the glory you gave me..."

"Because David Simmons has his eyes on your position."

Lin Xi's light sentence was like a muffled thunder, shocking Harrison into silence on the spot.

He widened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost: "You... how do you know about Simmons?"

He hadn't mentioned this name at all just now!

And that was an internal struggle among the company's top management.

This young man was far away in Hong Kong, how could he even know the name?

Lin Xi sipped his black tea and continued to add salt to the wound without even raising his head:

"Not only do I know about Simmons."

"I also know he is investigating that non-existent $200,000 kickback from Red Star."

"At the same time, he and his nephew have already discussed it."

"Once you are sent to prison, his nephew will officially take over Red Star's procurement line in North America."

"Clatter."

The silver spoon in Harrison's hand dropped into the saucer, making a crisp sound.

A direct hit.

Even the reasons were exactly the same.

A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his skull.

In Harrison's eyes, this young and handsome Oriental in front of him suddenly became tall and mysterious.

It was as if there were countless eyes insightful of the world standing behind him.

Was this the mysterious power of the East?

"Lin... then what should I do?"

Harrison's voice trembled, with a glimmer of hope, "Can you help me change my luck?"

"Even at any cost!"

"Change your luck?"

Lin Xi put down his teacup and let out a soft laugh, "Robert, wake up."

"You are unlucky not because of feng shui, but because you are an employee."

"As long as your rice bowl is in the hands of others."

"No matter how well you do, you are just a fat pig that can be slaughtered at any time."

Lin Xi's words were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing Harrison's last bit of dignity.

Harrison slumped in his chair, his face ashen.

Yes, in front of the huge Sears empire, what was he?

Just as Harrison's psychological defense collapsed completely, Lin Xi leaned forward, his eyes burning like torches, and threw out the real bait.

"Do you want to change your way of living?"

"Don't be a procurement manager for Sears."

Lin Xi's voice was full of seduction, "Be the North American general agent for Red Star Technology!"
