Chapter 508 Earning Money for Baby's Milk Powder

What happened later really couldn't be blamed on him for losing contact.

The other party arranged for a helicopter to pick him up and take him to a large cruise ship, and then took the cruise ship to the offshore platform, where they treated him to delicious food and drinks along the way.

Everything was fine along the way, except that there was no cell phone signal at sea. I had brought a satellite phone with me and put it in Xiao Yang's suitcase, and I had already boarded the plane.

So the two of them completely lost contact.

"But the result was good in the end. After a few more days of negotiations, the deal was finally closed at 650 million yuan. I handled the technical support myself, and I kept half of the money for the people on the platform."

He told me excitedly, "This platform produces 2.6 million tons of oil annually, and has a 16-year mining license. If calculated based on the median crude oil price in the past decade, this drilling platform can bring me $200-300 million in revenue each year.

I'm counting on it to earn money for milk powder for our baby."

He looked at me, his lips curled up, his face filled with unconcealable happiness.

"Haha, you are really far-sighted."

From now on, when my child goes out, people will praise him for having a mine at home.

"Okay, now tell me what happened to you?"

I told him in detail what happened in Banna, and his face became more and more serious.

"I guess they want to use you to threaten me. If you don't have a locator on you, I guess I'll get a call from the kidnappers as soon as I arrive in City A.

I just don't know if he just wants some money or has other purposes.

If the kidnappers just wanted money, they should have kidnapped Tiantian. I guess they chose you for other purposes."

Yes, Xiao Tiantian is Xiao Shiqiu’s daughter to the outside world. Even if someone knows the truth, Xiao Tiantian is still the real eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and is much more valuable than me who has no official status.

So this is not a simple kidnapping case.

In some dark corner, a pair of eyes have been staring at me. I don’t know what their purpose is.

There's no such thing as a thief who can't be guarded against forever. "Can we make a bold guess and use the process of elimination to see who is really against us?"

I plan to use my years of experience reading detective novels to find the person behind this.

He stroked his chin and said, "Tell me what you think."

Seeing his serious attitude, I immediately perked up, "First of all, if the other party's goal is not money, then they must have other purposes, or they must have a grudge against you.

Have you driven any business rivals to the brink of death recently?"

He pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, although there is competition in the business world, it's not as fierce as in the movies where it's a life-and-death struggle.

In practice, enterprises are more likely to cooperate for mutual benefit rather than fight to the death.

In a mature business ecosystem, entrepreneurs understand that cooperation is more profitable than vicious competition."

After saying this, he smiled and added, "Businessmen understand best the principle that harmony brings wealth."

"Then think again about whether you have ever made enemies with anyone?" I didn't give up and continued to persuade him.

This time he was silent for even longer. "I really can't think of that, but if they have a grudge against me, shouldn't they come directly after me or my family? Why would they be targeting you?"

I slapped my thigh and said, "Right!" He was the one who could find the key point. "This shows that the other party doesn't want to harm you or your family. Has your ex-wife ever encountered something like this?"

"No!" he said without hesitation.

"So the other party must understand your situation and know the true relationship between you two.

The other party's target is not me, but the woman next to you!"
