Chapter 111: I'm worried about Mr. Meta

An extended Lincoln limousine pulled up to a manor house in the eastern suburb of Krisco. The three men, Metadevieu and William, got out of the car, and Katerina greeted them at the door with the servants of the manor. Top Novel,

seeing this situation, Davie was unhappy at the time. He frowned and asked Katerina, 'Where is that Chinese Zhou Ming? He invited us here today, why didn't he come out to greet us?'

Facing Davier's questioning, Karelina replied calmly, 'Mr. Zhou Ming arranged for me to greet Mr. Meta here, considering the language communication problems between the two sides. Mr. Zhou Ming is waiting for a few people in the manor at this time, so please follow me in.'

'Karelina, you really sold yourself to that Chinese Zhou Ming. Don't forget who took you away from Krisco!'

Davier angrily accused Katerina, then turned to Meita and said, 'Mr. Meita, this Chinese Zhou Ming is so arrogant and rude, I don't think we need to continue talking to him at all.'

Meita, however, shook his head gently and said to Katerina, 'In that case, would you please take us in, Miss Katerina.'

Katerina nodded and said yes, and then she led Meta and the others into the courtyard at the back of the manor. There was a tall oak tree, and Zhou Ming was sitting under it drinking tea. When he saw Meta and Davier coming over, he waved at them, but he did not stand up.

This made Davier very angry. He walked up to Zhou Ming and rebuked him, saying, 'Zhou Ming, you really have no gentlemanly manners at all. You are too arrogant and rude. You invited Mr. Mata here, but the way you are acting now is like that of a scoundrel!'

Zhou Ming put down his teacup and laughed coldly: 'If I remember correctly, I only invited Mr. Maita, not you, Mr. Davier. Now that Mr. Maita is not angry, what makes you qualified to speak to me? You are really impatient. Oh, you may not understand what an eunuch is. This is our Chinese term for it. It actually refers to those men in the palace who have been castrated. I think the knowledgeable Mr. Davier can surely understand?'

'Rude, you Chinese are so rude, you are practically uncivilised savages!'

Davier said angrily, his hand shaking as he pointed at Zhou Ming. Davier then said to Meta, 'Mr Meta, this Zhou Ming is really rude. I think that talking to him is an insult to your status!'

At this point, Zhou Ming spoke, his tone very impatient: 'Is this Mr. Davier? If you want to leave, I will ask you to leave in a magnificent ball of flames, because your very presence here is an error.'

If Zhou Ming's arrogance before only made Davier feel that his self-esteem had been hurt, then at this moment he felt a direct insult. He looked at Meta and wanted to say something, but Meta waved him to stop. Meta looked at Zhou Ming a few times, and then said to Davier, 'In that case, Davier, you and William go wait for a while, and I will talk to Mr. Zhou Ming alone.'

Davidier's eyes widened, and his first reaction was to think he had heard it wrong: 'Mr. Mata, what is there to talk about with someone like this?'

Zhou Ming then added fuel to the fire: 'Mr. Davidier, haven't you heard clearly? You don't even have a say here, so why don't you just save yourself the embarrassment and get lost?'

David was so angry at Zhou Ming's words that he trembled all over. If possible, he really wanted to take a knife and kill Zhou Ming, but that was obviously impossible. Even Maeta on the other side did not say anything to help him. In the end, he could only swallow his anger and leave.

After Davier left, Mata sat down at Zhou Ming's invitation. Zhou Ming offered to make him a cup of tea, which was served to Mata by Kalelina. Mata took the teacup and said to him, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, now that it's just the two of us, please feel free to say whatever you want.'

Zhou Ming raised an eyebrow and looked at Mata, sighing and saying, 'As expected of Mr. Mata, you can't hide anything from me.'

Meita took a sip of tea and said, 'The Zhou Ming I have met in the past is not an impolite person. There must be a reason for what he did today. I think Zhou Ming has always wanted to drive away Davie, so the only thing left is that Zhou Ming wants to talk to me alone.'

'That's right. I invited Meita here today because there is something very important to discuss, something that only you and I need to discuss,' Zhou Ming emphasised, 'I hope to cooperate with Mr. Mata, and we will split the final profits of the Dota Project 50-50.'

Mata looked up at Zhou Ming with wide eyes. He could say that, based on his knowledge of Zhou Ming, no matter what Zhou Ming said, he would not be surprised. But this time, he really could not help being surprised. In fact, his first reaction was that the Chinese man was arrogant and delusional, and for a moment, Mata also felt the anger of being insulted in his intelligence and wanted to get up and leave.

However, Meta is Meta after all. He does not have David's arrogant pride, or rather, he has this pride, but he can hold it back.

In the end, Meta thought about it and asked Zhou Ming again to reconfirm. Zhou Ming still gave him a positive reply. Meta spread his hands and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't understand. What makes you so confident that I will agree to you? I don't think you have any advantage over me.'

Zhou Ming nodded to show that he understood, and in fact, Zhou Ming really did understand, because whether it was the closure of the securities company before or the shares in the Chelf market afterwards, it could be said that it was Meta who was chasing after him. What he was doing now was just running around in circles. If he became arrogant just because he had defended against Meta's several attacks, then that would really be contemptible. Especially this recent stock of the Chelf market, Zhou Ming did bankrupt Meta by lowering the stock price, but this did not do him any good.

Meta saw that although Zhou Ming nodded his head to show that he understood, he was still full of confidence, which made Meta curious and ask, 'Does Mr. Zhou Ming still think that I will agree to this?'

'Of course, why wouldn't I?'

Zhou Ming's answer made Maita feel crazy, but Zhou Ming didn't let him feel crazy for long, and continued, 'Because what I want to talk to you about, Mr. Maita, is not about me, but about you.'

This answer made Maita even more surprised. He laughed and made a gesture of invitation, saying, 'I would like to hear what Mr. Zhou Ming has to say about me.'

'Actually, there's not much, just a little story I'd like to share with Mr. Maita.'

Zhou Ming said, 'A long time ago, there was a hunter who lived next to a forest. This hunter had a very good bow, and every day he went into the forest and shot many birds. But in winter, all the birds flew away from this forest, and the hunter never shot any more birds. And the winter in the forest was exceptionally cold, and the hunter's house didn't have much firewood left. So, Mr. Maita, what do you think this hunter would do with his bow?'

'He will burn his bow for firewood to keep himself warm,' Meita replied, but his brow suddenly furrowed as he asked, "Mr. Zhou Ming, are you trying to remind me of something?'

'It's because I'm worried about you, Meita!" Zhou Ming said with a sigh.

'I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Zhou Ming, please be more specific,' Meita said.

'In my opinion, with your wisdom, Mr. Mata, you must have already guessed, you just don't want to admit it. What I want to say is that you, Mr. Mata, are the perfect bow.'

Zhou Ming continued, 'This Dota Project is truly an unprecedented grand scheme, and the wealth involved is also unparalleled. It is even aimed at a superpower. So with such a large fortune in your hands, Mr. Mata, do you think that this will make people feel at ease?'

'Are you saying that I will be persecuted after the completion of the Tower Plan? This is impossible. I am a financial warfare expert employed by the President. This time, the Tower Plan is also supported by the US government. In the end, all this wealth will be handed over to the US government and various Western consortia for safekeeping. How could they possibly do that? This is all your wild speculation. You are deliberately trying to provoke a relationship between me and the US government. I will never fall for it!' Meita categorically denied.

Zhou Ming asked calmly in return, 'Mr. Mata, would you really hand over this twenty trillion dollars?'

'Of course. This wealth originally belongs to the whole world, not just me...'

Mata's originally righteous words came to an abrupt end. Seeing this, Zhou Ming said, 'I personally have great faith in your integrity, Mr. Mata, but will others believe it?'

This time, Maita did not refute Zhou Ming again, but fell into deep thought. Zhou Ming continued, 'Twenty trillion US dollars is no small sum. If it is invested in the financial market, it will definitely trigger a huge financial tsunami. I'm afraid even a superpower like the United States will not be able to withstand it. Therefore, for the sake of world peace and stability, as well as the security of the United States itself, I believe measures should be taken. Because in this world, the most unreliable thing is character.'

In Zhou Ming's words, Meta slowly lowered his head. Zhou Ming knew that he was still struggling at this time, so he decided to give him the final blow: 'There is an old Chinese saying that says that if you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. Anyway, Mr. Meta still has to leave himself a way out.'

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, there was silence on Meta's side for a long time, and finally he looked up and asked, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you have said that character is the most unreliable thing in the world, so how am I supposed to trust you?'

'I have never asked you to believe in me, Mr. Meta. You need to believe in yourself. That is why I said that we are in a cooperative relationship. What do you think, Mr. Meta?' Zhou Ming said.

Meita was confused for a moment, and finally his eyes lit up. He finally smiled again: 'So that's it. Mr. Zhou Ming is indeed very clever. Since Mr. Zhou Ming is so honest, then I will also tell Mr. Zhou Ming some news. Recently, on behalf of the Dota Project, I will be negotiating a highly profitable new ruble purchase deal with the government of Northern Russia. I think Mr. Zhou Ming can also participate.'

'So, Mr. Meita, we are now partners?' Zhou Ming asked.

Maita nodded and said, 'Of course. We have been working together since the beginning, haven't we?'
