Clow Cards Cardcaptor

Dawn broke, and even in early January, there was no cold in Texas on the Gulf Coast.

Gasoline is fired from the internal combustion engine, electricity is again connected from the grid,

When the traffic in the morning rush hour fills the main road in the morning, the carriages drive through the underground rail ring around the city, and the cars and subways transport the crowd.

As energy drives the urban cornerstone of 'transportation',

A huge cargo ship in the port began to be loaded and unloaded, the airport plane took off, and the city's hospitals, banks, stock exchanges, aerospace centers and other buildings opened.

Known as the "space city", this fourth largest city in the United States and a large international city,

It's another day in the hustle and bustle of Houston.

In this busy scene, several fleets of black business cars are passing through the huge traffic flow. They are heading to the same destination in the urban area by different routes from different locations.

And that place is—

The branch office building of Essenhofer in Houston.

At this moment, this branch office building is also in a state of busyness!

The conference hall on the first floor of the building is a spacious space that can accommodate nearly 100 employees of the entire branch.

The flower basket at the entrance, the large conference table, the microphone on the podium, the background board with lights above,

The staff who are in a hurry to make the final arrangement, the media people who have arrived to adjust the position of the equipment, and the high-level person in charge who directs everyone on the scene,

At this moment, the conference hall where people come and go is a scene of preparations like a large-scale conference.

Everyone present cheered up and waited for the opening. If you want to ask why, it is because today is the largest energy hegemon in North America.

The scene of an agreement between Essenk Forme and five other global energy giants!

Reaching strategic cooperation in the name of maintaining industry stability and stabilizing crude oil prices in North America, etc., through various financial information channels such as Business Week and Wall Street Journal, it has entered people's vision after dinner.

The cooperative transportation of six energy giants on the North Atlantic route revolves around changes in crude oil prices and interests.

I don't know how many industries and how many people's nerves will be affected by this action!

"How is the preparation of the venue, how about the guests from other companies?"

"All the layout of the venue has been completed, and the seating, lighting, media and the process of the signing ceremony are all ready,"

When replying to the boss on the phone of the supervisor in charge of the on-site command,

"Someone else has already arrived."

All the people waiting at the venue saw the first energy giant arrive at this time!

The dark vehicle stopped, leading several assistants behind him, representing the Xuelong Group. Heinz walked into the gate of the venue with a smile while taking pictures of a group of reporters.

At this time, the door inside the venue opened, and Andre's figure appeared from there,

There were a number of company executives beside him. As the president of Essenkfme, he greeted him in the flashlight and shook hands with each other.

Then at this moment, a car stopped at the door,

Representatives from the Royal Shell Group, British Petroleum, Total, NE Natural Gas, and other four energy giants also attended the scene in turn.

After shaking hands with a smile, under the guidance of the reception staff, the main body of the signing ceremony today,

A series of figures with high weight in suits and leather shoes took their seats one after another.

In the formal and dignified atmosphere of the scene,

The signing ceremony officially started according to the pre-arranged process!

"First of all, it's a great honor to be here today..."

The opening speech of the organizer, the speeches of the heads of several other companies as guests, the introduction and prospect of the relevant agreements,

In a word, the scenes that were all finished with a social smile and were told to the public and the media ended, and the meaning and impact of the agreement was finished according to the speech written by the subordinates.

Andre watched the signing assistant walk out with the documents in hand, and the whole venue finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the signing session.

I received a call from the president of NE the day before, and I received a test from my opponent in less than a day. I didn’t know what to do when my backbone suddenly disappeared.

But fortunately for Andrei, the worst situation, such as the "superpower" attacking at night, did not happen.

After flying back from Calgary yesterday, he immediately arranged the preparations for the signing meeting. The last day passed in his nervous preparations.

Seeing that the signing meeting in front of me has successfully entered the final step, with the signing of the "North Atlantic Energy Agreement",

The major crisis in the energy field of Fischer is finally about to be lifted!

think of this,

The big stone that Andre had been pressing in his heart finally fell.

But in this moment!

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Andrei, there seems to be something wrong with this agreement."

A word that broke the atmosphere of the venue and was out of time suddenly sounded!

Interrupting everyone, including Andre, was about to sign, tracing the source of the sound, everyone present looked at the person who said this...

The representative of the person in charge sent by NE company.

"In the documents attached to this agreement..."

A short, slick-looking man with glasses, the NE representative turned over the signed documents in his hand, and asked a fictitious question that flashed in his eyes across the conference table:

"Looks like a contract document for your company's oil exploration in the Middle East is missing."

And at the moment when I heard him mention the contract, all the peace of mind and ease was broken.

Andre's eyes narrowed, and the mind that he had just put down was instantly pulled up!

Sure enough...

The headquarters was stolen a few days ago. At this moment, in this signed document, there is no oil exploration contract of Essenkferme in the Middle East!

but,

The signing documents are handed over to the companies for confirmation before the signing meeting, and they will be ready to sign after they are passed.

The other party deliberately aimed at today's occasion!

After a moment of thinking about NE's fall towards Xingchen Power, and gritted his teeth in his heart, Andre responded calmly as usual:

"It may be that the people below are negligent. After the signing is over, I will have someone reissue the contract."

But as if he had expected him to say so,

"Unfortunately, due to my duty, I cannot sign an incomplete agreement that lacks necessary materials, in the name of the company,"

The NE representative pretended to be embarrassed to answer, and then directly showed the 'blade' with a calculation hidden in his eyes!

"Out of the importance of this important cooperation, I hope you, Mr. Andrei, will let someone show this contract now."

I couldn't help frowning! After going through the dance party the night before, now that the decision makers have finalized cooperation, the contract is actually a big or small issue.

But the other party insists on this point to make a fuss, and it really makes people unable to blame anything!

Hit the sore spot by this blunt speech, the hidden danger of lack of necessary materials finally broke out, and anxiety emerged in my heart,

But after decades of experience in shopping malls, Andre replied in a deep voice with a slight inhalation:

"Esenck Former has been in business in the Middle East for more than ten years, and there are various channels that can prove that we have a good business situation in the industry there,"

"If you have doubts because of the contract, you can wait until the signing session is over."

Knowing that with the strength of Essenkoffmei, even if there is a lack of a North American company, it can be accepted. I heard the implication that Andre wanted to give up NE to keep several other companies.

I don't want to let it go so easily. Although I don't know why the three European companies are unshakable, there is another party.

Glancing to one side, the NE representative suddenly narrowed his eyes and said:

"On this point, we recently learned through certain channels that Essenk Forme is facing a business crisis in the Middle East due to an unexplained disaster in which the mining contract expires early," he said.

"Does this have anything to do with Mr. Andre's failure to show the mining contract?"

As soon as these words fell, the nib of Heinz's pen, which was going to continue to sign, stopped again.

Dirty water!

Hearing the other party's slander out of nothing, I almost couldn't control my emotions, aiming at the signing meeting, spreading bad public opinion to the media, shaking the Xuelong Group,

Andre fully understood that NE wanted to stir up today's signing ceremony!

"This is completely baseless rumor, and we may pursue legal responsibility for it based on the impact!"

It is always more difficult to clarify a thing than to discredit it, especially the difficult-to-verify thing involving the company's internal information. At this moment, Andre can only sternly deny it in the most precise tone.

"We are fully willing to trust Essenkfme, just out of careful consideration, I hope Mr. Andrei can send someone to take out the contract to confirm the contract period of the Middle East business."

But pressing step by step, never leaving the point of taking out the contract, the NE representative immediately threw another attack,

In the dark, his palms clenched tightly, and Andre's frowning eyes sank!

The media in the venue had already begun to be restless, and the signing process and the dialogue had not been completed for a long time, which made them all smell the abnormality, and they also noticed this,

Andre knew that the best way at this time was for him to show the contract to prove everything,

But the problem is that they can't come up with it now!

"Please don't worry about the time. For this important cooperation, I believe everyone is willing to wait a little bit."

What's worse, the other party has calculated this point and pressed hard!

Looking at Andre's expression at this moment, the representative of NE flashed a confidence that the plan was successful, and the reason why he was so sure,

It was because he had received extremely accurate news a day ago,

The CEO of the other party was unable to attend due to an accident.

And even if he was fine, he would never be able to come up with the contract that was said to have been destroyed!

Thinking about the liquidated damages he could get and the benefits of cooperating with Xingchen Power, the person in charge from NE couldn't help showing a winning smile,

At this time, I was cornered, and I sensed the commotion of the media present, and knew that I had to act immediately.

Then, at the moment when Andre decided to postpone the signing by gnashing his teeth on the grounds that "a lot of documents will take time",

The inner door of the conference hall slammed open!

At the signing meeting, there was a team of beautiful and indifferent silver-haired beauties and assistants.

A figure with black hair in a suit entered at this time!
