Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 453 Risking One's Life (Please Subscribe)

With the continuous development of the domestic smart electric vehicle market, China is gradually becoming the world's largest new energy consumer market. Therefore, the strategic importance of lithium mines is becoming increasingly prominent, and relying solely on domestic lithium mines is no longer sufficient to meet market demand.

As the domestic market for new energy products becomes increasingly saturated, these products will inevitably have to go global. Since last year, Dongda University's export trade has become increasingly difficult. However, Dongda University has not been sitting idly by; they are actively seeking ways to break the deadlock. One such method is to establish factories overseas and engage in "entrepot trade."

If you can regulate what I export, then I must avoid risks by reselling the products I produce domestically, breaking them down into smaller parts, entering the target market, and then reassembling and integrating them. Then there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Currently, many new energy companies and related restricted business activities in China are using this method to circumvent costs.

As a newly emerging economy in the OECD, Chile enjoys tariff advantages in international trade. In addition, the country is rich in lithium and copper mines, so many domestic companies have set up factories there. This allows the manufactured parts to be shipped to target markets via Chile, reducing a significant amount of tariff costs.

Lu Yao owns a mobile phone design and manufacturing factory, as well as a drone design and manufacturing factory. The former is an essential device for everyone in today's era, while the latter, with the continuous deterioration of the international situation, will become an international necessity in the future, with a very large demand.

Because the demand for these products in the international market is often one-off and consumed very quickly.

Lu Yao intends to capitalize on this trend. With increasingly severe trade restrictions and a more closed global business environment, it is necessary for Lu Yao to establish a product supply chain overseas.

So after landing in Chile, Lü Yao, who had just rested for one night, immediately threw himself into his work with great enthusiasm. For the first three days after landing in Chile, Lü Yao was meeting with various Chilean companies and wealthy individuals, seeking opportunities for cooperation.

On the third day after landing in Chile, Lü Yao canceled all his afternoon plans and asked Lin Yongzhen and the others to wait for him at the hotel where he was staying, as he was going to meet someone.

Lu Yao originally planned to go by himself, but the security personnel responsible for his safety absolutely refused to agree.

Ensuring Lü Yao's safety is their mission.

Among the four security personnel, the particularly tall and beautiful woman emphasized, "We are all professionally trained and will never reveal who you are meeting with."

After thinking it over, Lü Yao agreed to let them come along.

Lü Yao and Lin Yongzhen currently live in Santiago, Chile, the capital of Chile and the largest city in the country. It is the fourth largest city in South America, located in the central part of the country, on the banks of the Mapocho River, bordered by the Andes Mountains to the east and the port of Valparaiso to the west.

On the outskirts of Santiago, locals can enjoy an almost unobstructed view of the distant Andes Mountains.

The peaks of the Andes Mountains are covered in snow all year round, and the towering mountains stand opposite Santiago, creating a beautiful landscape.

Lu Yao sat in the back of a specially modified Maybach and soon arrived at the agreed location.

Upon arriving here, Lü Yao said to the people in charge of his security, "You guys stay in the car?"

But the two people in front of them skillfully took out blindfolds and earplugs from the storage compartment in front of the car, put them on, and then said in a calm tone, "When the person you are meeting gets in the car, you can pull up the partition inside the car and knock twice, and we will remove the blindfolds and earplugs."

As they spoke, the two people in front of them had already put on earplugs and blindfolds, and the two people in the car following Lü Yao did the same.

It's clear that the other party is indeed very professional.

Not long after, Lü Yao saw a stretched Bentley approaching on a mountain road on the outskirts of the city. The Bentley slowly stopped a short distance away, and then Lü Yao's phone rang. It was a message from the person in the car opposite: "Come to my car?"

Lü Yao quickly replied: "Come over here."

The other end quickly replied: "You're scared, but don't you think I'm not?"

As soon as he received the message, Lü Yao saw the car door opposite open, and then a long leg wearing semi-transparent black stockings stretched out from the rear door of the opposite car, followed by the hem of a trench coat. As Lü Yao's gaze moved upward, he saw a beautiful woman with shoulder-length short hair and a slightly round face.

Lu Yao was very familiar with this woman; she was Tao Siyu, whom he had defeated in Shangnan and who had fled overseas.

Tao Siyu wore sunglasses, and her trench coat paired with black stockings made her look cool and sexy. Combined with her usual unruly personality, Tao Siyu exuded a powerful aura.

Lu Yao couldn't help but take out his phone and send another message to Tao Siyu: "I don't see any fear in you."

Tao Siyu received the message, but she didn't take out her phone to check it. Instead, she went straight to Lu Yao's car, opened the back door, and got in. At the same time, Lu Yao pulled up the partition between the front and back cars.

These partitions are custom-made and have excellent sound insulation.

But Tao Siyu was clearly not at ease, so she deliberately took out a signal jammer and played with it in her hand. This little thing could ensure that she would not be recorded or eavesdropped on.

Lü Yao also smiled and took out a similar little gadget from his pocket.

These were all given to him by Yang Tongtong.

Neither of them objected to the other's actions. In fact, some of their synchronized movements made Tao Siyu nostalgic for the days in Shangnan, when she and Lü Yao were always going back and forth, which was quite lively.

Driven by this emotion, Tao Siyu leaned against the other side of the car door, glanced at Lü Yao out of the corner of her eye, and smiled, "Long time no see."

Lü Yao also smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Tao Siyu said, "I didn't expect you to contact me after you went abroad. Is there something you need?"

Lu Yao pursed his lips and asked, "We formed a certain alliance about two years ago, right? Why are you so hostile towards me now that we meet again?"

Tao Siyu was so angry she laughed: "Didn't you recommend me to someone from abroad? And you call me hostile towards you? You're wrong, I hate you."

Lü Yao was absolutely not being bluffing.

He still laughed nonchalantly, saying, "Isn't it said that the moon is rounder abroad than at home? Besides, the world abroad is so vast, it should be more exciting than at home. For example, places like Tahiti, the Arctic Ocean, or the African grasslands."

Tao Siyu's tone was flat, but her monotone voice clearly indicated her displeasure as she said, "I've been there, and it's just so-so. And what are you pretending for? People like us are born to pursue the pinnacle of wealth and status. Only that world is colorful enough for us, not those places you're talking about where you can go just because you have money."

"Are you still planning to keep talking nonsense?" Tao Siyu asked, getting a little impatient.

Although she was exiled overseas, Tao Siyu didn't stay idle abroad; she still had a lot going on.

Lu Yao stopped the pleasantries and said, "Many people probably already know I'm overseas, and quite a few are probably trying to get back at me, right? Have you heard anything about it?"

Tao Siyu laughed: "I've indeed heard a lot of rumors. It's said that many people are offering bounties on you through various channels, and the prices aren't low either, with the lowest being five million US dollars." Lu Yao shook his head speechlessly: "Only that much? Can't you be more generous?"

Tao Siyu looked at Lü Yao, scrutinizing his expression, seemingly trying to discern any other emotions within him. However, Lü Yao appeared to be a perfect conman, his facial expression almost flawless.

While Tao Siyu was staring at him, Lü Yao continued to ask, "Is this all the information you've heard? Do you have any specific details? I can exchange something for it."

Tao Siyu turned to look out the window, her voice muffled as it bounced back from the other car window: "Can you let our family go back to China?"

Lu Yao pursed his lips: "It's not feasible right now. If you're willing to use this as a bargaining chip, I might be able to make it happen in another year or two."

Tao Siyu sneered when she heard this.

The world today is changing rapidly.

After being away from China for so long, Tao Siyu's family's foundation in China has been largely eroded. What's the point of waiting another year or two? What will be the use of going back once all the family's foundation in China has crumbled?

Therefore, Tao Siyu had absolutely no interest in what Lü Yao was saying.

Lu Yao guessed what Tao Siyu was thinking and continued, "At that time, I will naturally give you a proper way to make your debut. In other words, I can let you rebuild your glory and that of your family."

Tao Siyu narrowed her eyes and then looked back at Lü Yao again.

This time, she saw a particularly serious face.

But considering Lü Yao's character and methods, Tao Siyu asked in return, "Can I trust you?"

She didn't believe Lü Yao at all.

But Lü Yao laughed and said, "Then when have I ever lied in important collaborations?"

Tao Siyu was stunned for a moment, and then a storm of thoughts swept through her mind. All the information about Lü Yao, before she fought with her, during the fight, and even after she went abroad, the many incidents that Lü Yao encountered and resolved... it seemed that Lü Yao really hadn't lied at all.

In fact, he often does what he says.

In this world, the people who understand a person best are often not their relatives, lovers, or friends, but their enemies. Only enemies will go to great lengths to study you and remember you, with the aim of finding the best way and time to harm you.

Tao Siyu undoubtedly had a grudge against Lü Yao.

Even though Lü Yao contacted her after setting up "Weiguang International" and gave her some important information as a means of countermeasures in the future.

But this doesn't really count as an alliance...

It was purely Lü Yao who was exploiting her hatred for him.

Tao Siyu admired Lü Yao for this. This guy was really resourceful. Whether it was someone he could trust or not, someone who loved him or hated him, he could always find a way to use them.

Tao Siyu's hatred for Lü Yao was cleverly exploited by Lü Yao.

After thinking for a while, Tao Siyu regained her composure and continued in a nonchalant tone, "I'm sorry, I really don't have any detailed information. When it comes to doing this kind of thing, everyone has their own channels. Even if some channels overlap, the channels that accept the commission will strictly keep the client's information confidential. So, rumors are just rumors."

"If you're really killed, it will be very difficult to investigate."

Lu Yao had guessed it too, but given Tao Siyu's family's influence and influence overseas, if they really put in the effort to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out something. At the very least, they could set up a trap to attract people and extract information.

But Tao Siyu obviously wouldn't go to such lengths for Lü Yao.

Lu Yao didn't expect Tao Siyu to do that. He continued, "Then I'll change my condition—when I think it's appropriate, you send someone to attack me. It would be best if you could make a big show of it, and you could even get several people to attack together."

ha?
Tao Siyu frowned and looked at Lü Yao: "Are you going to go this far?"

As intelligent as she was, she must have immediately understood Lü Yao's ulterior motives. In fact, orchestrating an assassination was not uncommon both at home and abroad. Throughout the long history of Dongda University, many emperors or high-ranking officials liked to use the tactic of faking their deaths to break the deadlock.

After faking death, the reactions of various forces often take unexpected turns.

Repeatedly faking one's death can easily arouse doubt and hesitation among subordinates, making it very easy to lose the initiative.

That's how the game of thrones works—truth and falsehood intertwine, and when falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood, and when truth is taken for falsehood, even falsehood becomes truth.

Lu Yao's idea wasn't exactly a new one. This trick would be used again when that blond stock market guru took over Dabao in the future. After that, his life photos and historical photos would all be released at once, and with his unparalleled prestige, he would indeed live up to expectations and take over Dabao again.

This shows that creating one's own crisis is indeed a very lucrative endeavor.

Lu Yao knew, of course, that he would be targeted by many forces after going abroad, but he was not afraid. He was not afraid, but he was not unafraid. If those people really made a move, it would only push Lu Yao to a higher position of prestige. But Lu Yao was also afraid. He was afraid that his opponents were too cowardly, or that his security was too good, so that those people would not have any chance to make a move.

That's why Lü Yao sought out Tao Siyu.

He wanted to use Tao Siyu to achieve his own goals.

Given her deep-seated prejudice against him, Tao Siyu is unlikely to pass up this opportunity to "target Lü Yaoqiu".

Tao Siyu was feeling very frustrated. She really didn't want to give up this opportunity, but that would mean falling into Lü Yao's trap again. So Tao Siyu was unhappy, extremely unhappy!

Driven by her displeasure, Tao Siyu said in a slightly threatening tone, "The trick of staging an assassination is indeed effective, but it only works if it's realistic enough, and people will die."

"so."

"Are you going to gamble with your life this time?"
