Chapter 136 The Purpose of Merchants
Today, such a serious safety accident occurred at the launch conference of the "Cocoon" project. The boss of the Sindorah Group was arrested by the police. Coupled with the self-destruction of artificial intelligence, accidents happened one after another. It is obvious that this project can no longer go on, and the previous investment will definitely be wasted.
After losing such a huge sum of money, Conan wanted to know how Ningguang planned to reduce the losses in the future.
It seems that the doctor can pay more attention to Ningguang's next move. Maybe he can learn more information about those who possess the Eye of God.
At the same time, Kudo Yusaku, who had just found the murderer, also saw Miss Ningguang.
In fact, although this was the first time he saw Ningguang in person, his son and Professor Agasa had asked him to investigate relevant information about her before, so he had a general understanding of her situation.
Kudo Yusaku was unable to find too much detailed information, but just looking at the superficial history of Ningguang's rise, he could see that in less than ten years, she had gone from having nothing to being a wealthy woman. Even he had to admire her ability in business, which required sharpness, decisiveness, courage, etc.
From the information he found, Ningguang has hardly ever done any business at a loss in these years.
As for such a powerful person, Kudo Yusaku did not think that the other party would not take action in the face of such a sudden accident today. He was even a little curious about what actions Ningguang would take to reduce the unexpected losses of this press conference and even turn losses into profits.
Kudo Yusaku waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party's conversation with the staff had come to an end, he walked up and greeted her: "Hello, Miss Ningguang, I am Kudo Yusaku."
Kudo Yusaku nodded, smiled and continued: "Although I have met you before, this should be the first time we officially meet."
Ningguang also nodded and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Kudo, I have heard a lot about you. The mystery novels you write are very exciting. Several of my friends like them very much, especially the Dark Night Baron series. If it is convenient for you, can you give me a few autographs later?"
"Of course it's not inconvenient. I didn't expect that Miss Ningguang and her friends are fans of my books." Kudo Yusaku didn't think much about it and agreed to sign.
Then the topic changed. Kudo Yusaku looked at the somewhat chaotic scene at the press conference and said with concern, "I've heard that Miss Ningguang has outstanding business capabilities. When I knew that the "Cocoon" project I participated in was also invested by Miss Ningguang, I always wanted to meet her. I didn't expect that the first official meeting would be at the crime scene. It's really unfortunate."
"However, both Noah's Ark and Sindorah Company have encountered problems at the same time. The Cocoon project is doomed to fail. I wonder what Miss Ningguang is going to do next?" Kudo Yusaku said this, realizing that there was something wrong with his words, and hurriedly added: "Of course, I don't mean to ask Miss Ningguang for her business secrets. I mean, if Miss Ningguang needs help with any technical issues, you can contact me or my friend Dr. Agasa at any time. After all, we have participated in this project before."
Ningguang kept smiling, neither agreeing nor refusing, and responded in a gentle tone, "Thank you very much, Mr. Kudo."
Then, Ningguang seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then continued, "But you don't have to worry too much. After I saw Jiancun was in trouble and called the police, I contacted my assistant and asked her to immediately contact other directors of Xindora Company to prepare to acquire their shares. I believe I will receive good news from her soon."
Kudo Yusaku raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so when you first saw the crime scene, Miss Ningguang knew that the murderer was Sindora himself? Then why didn't you say it out loud when the police arrived?"
As if she didn't feel the slightly stagnant atmosphere after Kudo Yusaku's words, Ningguang smiled and said, "Yes. Didn't I say before that Mr. Jiancun likes Nashida very much and is almost defenseless in front of her. Sometimes he would tell Nashida many things that he would not be able to say to other people. Therefore, when Nashida saw Jiancun in trouble, she guessed that the culprit was Sintra."
Hearing Ningguang's answer, Kudo Shinichi frowned, and suddenly realized what the vaguely inconsistent factor around Ningguang was - the little girl Nashida who had been with Ningguang before was gone.
Ningguang didn't know that Kudo Yusaku was curious about Nashida's whereabouts, so she continued, "As for the second question... Mr. Kudo, I'm a businessman. The purpose of a businessman is to make money, and solving cases is the job of you police or detectives. In the business world, timing and intelligence are very important. After knowing that the boss of the Sindorah Group is likely to get into trouble, the first thing I have to do is of course to seize the opportunity and grab the Sindorah Group before others know about it."
Kudo Yusaku was puzzled: "But the incident of the Sindora Group had not been exposed at that time, and it was thriving. How could those people agree to transfer the shares to you?"
Ningguang smiled when she heard this question, walked past Kudo Yusaku, stood in front of the window, leaned on the windowsill and looked into the distance for a while, then turned around and said, "Then this is my method..."
Kudo Yusaku turned around and looked at Ningguang's backlit figure, and couldn't see the other person's expression when he said this.
Suddenly, Kudo Yusaku heard a hurried sound of footsteps approaching from behind him. He saw Ningguang in front of him looking up at the person approaching, as if she had received some good news, and she smiled with satisfaction.
Curious, he turned around and saw a gentle, quiet, capable girl walking towards him. She had long blue hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and was wearing a short white cheongsam with gold patterns and white sleeves of the same style. The Chinese knot decoration on her waist had blue beads with the same border as Ningguang's waist. She was holding a lot of documents in her hands, and it was obvious that she was here to report to Ningguang.
Kudo Yusaku's gaze stayed on the other person's Chinese knot decoration for a while before turning away calmly.
He noticed that the other party nodded slightly when she walked past him, then he walked over to Ningguang and said, "Ms. Ningguang, I have completed the tasks you asked me to do. Ms. Keqing said that she has talked to all the directors of the Sindorah Group in Country M, and they all agreed to transfer their shares at the market price. Here are all the information that has been sent over. You can take a quick look at it first."
Ningguang briefly flipped through the file and was obviously satisfied, but there was no particularly surprising reaction on her face, as if she had expected it.
Ningguang briefly introduced the two of them to each other.
Only then did Kudo Yusaku realize that the other person was the assistant that Ningguang had mentioned before.
