I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chen Xi was slightly stunned when he was praised by the beautiful woman in front of him.

He had never seen Ma Yueling praise anyone.

At this moment, the beauty in front of me was swinging one of her legs leisurely, and her crystal clear toes inadvertently poked out from her high heels.

She gently held her cheek with one hand, a gentle smile on her lips, and her eyes seemed to be still immersed in thought about the previous topic.

It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome, and similarly, women who think deeply exude a unique charm.

This scene was so beautiful that Chen Xi was fascinated.

This woman is so beautiful.

After having dinner with Ma Yueling, it was already late at night.

Chen Xi returned home and walked straight to the bed, but just sat there, looking around the empty bedroom with empty eyes, ripples in his heart.

He stood up and walked to the room that once belonged to Jin Nana.

When you open the door, everything seems to be still yesterday, and time has left gentle traces here.

There is a doll on Jin Nana's bed.

That was won for her by Chen Xi himself at the amusement park.

It lay there quietly, as if a bridge connecting the two people's past memories.

Chen Xi gently picked up the doll, stroking its soft surface with his fingertips, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

Unexpectedly, even after the passage of time, she still treasures it.

A smile quietly crept up the corner of his mouth, which was a remembrance of the good old days.

The next day.

Chen Xi finished washing up and walked down from upstairs.

Looking at the man who suddenly appeared, Dongdong and Xiaoming both exclaimed.

"Saori is back?" they both asked at the same time.

Seeing the man shook his head, the two asked again: "Then why did you come back?"

"Well, anyway, the agreement has been made, and the only thing left is a matter of strength..." Chen Xi sighed, picked up a piece of bread, and told the two of them what happened in Sakura Country.

"Fuck, you should take me with you to fight the Japanese. I can definitely snatch their weapons with my bare hands." Dongdong shouted excitedly.

"Head of the Saeki family, why does this sound like an ancient movie?" Xiao Ming was confused.

"What we need to do now is to improve our strength and bring Saori back!" Chen Xi took a sip of coffee and made a cheering gesture. The previous haze was swept away, and now he had the fighting spirit again.

"That...Jin Nana..." Dongdong asked in a low voice.

Of course, Jin Nana’s sudden departure could not be concealed.

However, Chen Xi did not reveal the relationship between the two, only saying that she had recovered her memory.

Chen Xi didn't know what to do with Jin Nana, and he was completely confused and pretended to be in love with her. But if he said that he had no feelings for this woman, it would definitely be fake.

After being together for so many years, lying in the same bed, and doing such crazy things, he naturally regarded Jin Nana as his woman.

The content left by Jin Nana at the time also showed that she had feelings for Chen Xi.

But Jin Nana is different from Saori, so it would not be a good idea to go to her rashly like this.

"When do you plan to return home?" Xiao Ming suddenly asked.

"Just take care of the Australia issue and leave." Chen Xi thought about it and he didn't care too much about getting PR.

This kind of thing is difficult for ordinary people, but as long as you have a company in Australia that can provide huge tax revenue, the Australian officials will beg you to stay.

After all, if you don't know how to trade a broken card for a cash cow, you're a fool.

"Let's go to work, good luck!" The three men high-fived each other after finishing their meal.

I arrived in the city, parked the car, and took some time to go to KURIMU.

"Who is in charge of your store now?" Chen Xi asked a waiter.

Soon, a girl came over, and she seemed to be the store manager.

She seemed to recognize the man as Saori's boyfriend, so she said, "The boss has returned to his country, and when he left, he handed the company's business over to the team."

"Can we contact Jin Nana?" Chen Xi asked again.

The girl smiled and shook her head.

Even if she knew, Jin Nana had probably already greeted the other party, so Chen Xi could only sigh and walk out of the store.

Watching the man's back as he left, the store manager tilted his head and muttered to himself, "He's obviously the boss' boyfriend, why didn't you ask him yourself? Did they break up? That's right, after all, they are from different countries. In a place like Australia, people get together quickly and break up quickly. It seems like I can't find a boyfriend here anymore..."

Real-Car headquarters.

When Alin learned that he had returned, he couldn't wait to come here.

Today, Alin was wearing a gray suit, his hair was sparse at the back of his head, and his shiny leather shoes were almost reflective.

"Why are you suddenly dressed so formally today? Are you going on a blind date?" Chen Xi sat in the boss's chair and teased with a smile.

"Blind date? No, I'm a Victorian MP now. There are only a few Chinese MPs in Victoria, and I'm one of them. I'll be the leader of Australia in the future, hahaha!"

"Congressman?" Chen Xi tilted his head and thought about it.

It seems that several members of parliament had served as consultants to Future Education Group in the past.

As the saying goes, it’s nice to take shelter under a big tree. Many presidents of chambers of commerce or people in large companies serve as councilors.

With the support of the parliamentarians, the situation will be different.

Even if there are any problems, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.

Of course, this is if your MP is in power.

On the contrary, it may also bring a devastating blow to the group.

After all, some people use the name of investigating group problems to attack their political rivals.

"Don't you understand why I should be elected as a member of parliament?"

"It should be for the good development of the company under his name." Chen Xi thought about it.

"Not only that, another reason is that with the status of a councillor, it becomes easier to run for the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Ah? The new president hasn't been elected yet." Chen Xi chuckled.

It's been such a long time since the old president left, and the group is still leaderless.

"There are too many people who want to be the president, and no one wants to be the president."

"That's not right. The Chamber of Commerce is in New South Wales. Can you elect a Victorian MP?"

"What does it matter? The people in the Chamber of Commerce come from all states of Australia. Besides, there are also people from New South Wales..." When Alin said this, his old face turned red and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Hearing this, Chen Xi immediately said with a smile: "It must be your old lover, oh my, this man is still romantic no matter what age he is."

"No, we're just good friends." Alin twitched his face and lit a cigarette to ease the embarrassment.

"Knock, knock." At this time, there was a knock on the office door. An employee came in and handed Chen Xi an envelope.

"Boss, this was sent by Carsales."

Hearing this, Chen Xi looked carefully at the thing in his hand.

Sure enough, there was the Carsales logo printed on it.

"They were just a few steps away from each other, but they still wrote letters? Is their boss gay? Why did he write a love letter to you?" Alin suddenly laughed when he saw this scene.

After the employee left, Chen Xi opened the envelope casually.

Inside was a small card.

"What? Is it a threatening letter?" Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, A Lin asked again.

"How is that possible? There is a company logo on it. Norbert asked me to meet him to talk." Chen Xi raised the card in his hand.

"Oh? A date alone." Alin laughed.

In the afternoon, on a yacht at the seaside.

Looking at the few unfamiliar white people in front of him, Chen Xi was full of doubts.

He originally thought that Norbert had asked him out alone, but he didn't expect there were so many people.

Not only those strangers, but also Edward, who was from the Collins House Group in Mo Village, was sitting next to Chen Xi.

"These people are from the Broken Hill Group." Norbert introduced them to Chen Xi expressionlessly.

It was obvious that he did not come for today's interview out of his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given Chen Xilai the cold face when they met.

This also allowed Chen Xi to receive an important message.

The war between their two companies may have turned into a fight between conglomerates.

In other words, Norbert may no longer have a say in this matter.

However, Chen Xi was also very worried about today's meeting. Will he also become a pawn of the consortium?
After they greeted each other, they sat down one after another.

The table was filled with food, fruit and wine.

It was more like a banquet than a negotiation.

"Don't be so nervous. Today we just come out to chat with each other." Edward looked at the tense atmosphere between Chen Xi and Norbert and spoke first.

"Oh? Is it because of some rumors outside recently that Mr. Norbert has lost his appetite, so he wants to relax at the beach today?" Chen Xi joked.

"How dare you say that? I know all this is your masterpiece to discredit me in front of all the major media." Norbert's fat face turned red.

"You were the one who started it. I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine." Chen Xi smiled.

He deliberately wanted to make things clear in front of these people, otherwise it would be difficult for the two major conglomerates to intervene and mediate.

Instead of letting them discuss the distribution of benefits behind their backs, it is better to bring them to the table and talk openly.

"You sharp-tongued boy, I never thought that you were the boss behind Real-Car. Did you start plotting against me the first time we met on the yacht?" Norbert got angry when he thought about it.

The two of them actually fought with the ghost girl in the same room, and their buttocks were seen by the other party. Now they have become competitors, which is simply a shame.

Norbert guessed that Chen Xi had talked to him before just to get the future plans and deployments of Carsales from him, and now Real-Car was completely copying his business model.

Foreigners are quite disgusted with plagiarism. Don't think that you can just copy and modify it and make it your own work. Even when writing a paper and quoting words from other people's articles, you must indicate the source, which is the Reference at the end of the paper.

"Ha, are you having hallucinations? How did I know you were coming to the yacht? It was obviously me who came here first, and you came on board to solicit investment." Chen Xi's words were well-reasoned, which left Norbert speechless.

"Your Real-Car and my Carsales operation model are exactly the same. You can't argue with that."

"It's just like a sports competition, running, swimming, he will do whatever you say! What is there to protest? Protest is invalid!" Chen Xi waved his hand.

Indeed, there are so many technology companies on the market in China, and it’s a case of you copying me and me copying you, right?

No one cares who invented this model first, but who stands last.

Winners are often the focus of ordinary people. Those bosses who are so glorious on TV screens may have once been the subordinates of some unknown bosses.

The representatives of both consortiums did not speak, but just watched them argue quietly.

When Norbert's voice was almost hoarse, someone from the Broken Hill Group signaled to the waitress to pour a glass of wine for the two of them.

Norbert, who was thirsty, picked up the cup and even forgot about the people around him, and poured the drink into his mouth in one breath.

Seeing him with a red face and thick neck, people on both sides smiled slightly.

"Everyone does business just to make money. Your two companies are in the same business. Fighting each other will only result in unnecessary losses. It is better for you to live in peace. What do you think?" said a tall and thin man from the Broken Hill Group.

Chen Xi remembered that this guy seemed to be called Christopher.

"The Australian market is so small that there is not enough for our two companies to share. I thought you would merge us into one." Christopher made Chen Xi a little confused.

"Merge with you? Our Carsales has already gone public. It's only a matter of time before we swallow you up. Stop flattering yourself." Norbert said sarcastically.

"A merger is impossible, as it does not satisfy our interests. The emergence of two excellent companies in one industry is not a bad thing, but blindly fighting will prevent anyone from making money. We can split and merge, merge and split. Ordinary people, whether they are consumers or retail investors, are just purses that provide us with funds..." Edward, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Chen Xi immediately understood what this guy who liked to hype meant.

The two consortiums simply wanted to use the two companies, Carsales and Real-Car, to make a fortune in the stock market.

As for which party will become the only automobile trading platform in Australia in the future, they don't care.

It can be said that if they want to do it, they can support another person.

The business model is completely transparent, it’s just a matter of funding.

But if they have to do it all over again, the waste of time and money is not worth it for them.

Chen Xi squinted his eyes and looked at these foreigners.

Norbert is not a fool. He is unwilling to give up the company he has worked so hard to build.

In front of the two behemoths, the two leaders of the Australian automotive platform suddenly seemed a little insignificant.

"Our two consortiums control a number of banks and insurance companies in Australia. The financial business of the automobile platform will be linked to them. As long as your two companies follow the arrangements, you will make more money in the future." Christopher continued to tempt them.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely think this was a great idea.

Starting a company or running a business is all about making money.

As for whether the company exists or not, who cares?
Some people may even think that running a company is too risky. They may make money today and lose it tomorrow. It would be better to just make a big profit right away.

However, for Chen Xi, these temptations seem insignificant.

He is just like this. Money doesn't matter to him. He just wants to get things done.

Norbert was a little hesitant. If he didn't do what the other party said and made them angry, the company would be destroyed. It would be better to cooperate honestly.

Edward also continued to persuade: "In Australia, our Collins House Group and Broken Hill Group can mobilize a lot of resources for you, and the government will turn a blind eye to some difficult problems..."

The words of the foreigners were like lingering echoes, echoing repeatedly in the ears of Chen Xi and Norbert.

Chen Xi raised his head involuntarily, and his eyes met Norbert's, who was looking back at him with the same concentration.

The brief eye contact between the two industry giants seemed to be silently communicating some deep meaning that only they could understand. (End of this chapter)
