Chapter 622: Ten Times the Money

Chapter 622: Ten Times the Money

Mochizuki said thoughtfully, "It seems to be Yin Mo."

...

Ida State is located in the northern part of the territory, and there is only a two-hour time difference with China.

Li Qiao arrived at the international airport at 5 pm local time.

Compared with the high and crisp autumn in Nanyang, the temperature in Ida State is a few degrees lower, and the wind howls.

Li Qiao and her group walked through the VIP channel, and after completing the visa application at the customs, they walked out of the airport departure hall and saw Cheng Mo, the hall master, "Miss Li."

Li Qiao nodded and greeted her, "Master Cheng."

Cheng Mo nodded, and said sternly: "Miss Li, the car is ready, do you want to go to the hotel now?"

"Yes." Li Qiao pulled off the peaked cap on her head, her eyes wandered around, and she quickly walked towards the parking lot with her head down.

Liuyun and Luoyu followed behind her and pushed the luggage, and the two exchanged glances occasionally, with doubts in each other's eyes.

When Ms. Li was applying for an entry visa just now, the green book she took out did not seem to be a domestic passport.

After getting in the car, Li Qiao sat by the window, occasionally glancing at the scenery outside the window, as if she lacked interest.

The area of ​​Ada State is small, and the architectural style is mostly steeple castles. The capital and the county have the same name, named Ada City.

This artificial intelligence presentation was held in the capital. The reason why many high-end technology companies have settled here is due to the local tax exemption policy and extremely rich underground network resources.

At this moment, Luo Yu tilted his head, "Has Miss Li been to Ada State before?"

Li Qiao raised her eyelids from the phone, "Well, I came here once."

Luo Yu nodded clearly, no wonder she was not interested, it was not the first time he came here.

About forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Aida State Royal Hotel.

Li Qiao looked up at the sign of the Royal Hotel, and couldn't help but bend her lips.

Royal Hotel is a chain property under Yanhuang.

Not long after, Li Qiao walked into the suite on the top floor. She came to the window, overlooking the entire city of Aida, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Who is negotiating with the Qianmu Group this time?"

Luo Yu came from behind her, "It's me."

"How much is the liquidated damages and compensation?" Li Qiao stroked her nails with a clueless expression.

Luo Yu stepped forward and relayed the calculated amount in detail.

Li Qiao's gaze paused, and wrinkles formed between her brows, "Eighty million?"

"Yes, Ms. Li." Seeing her frowning, Luo Yu explained, "Yanhuang calculated the penalty based on the working hours of the thirteen engineers and their possible years of service in the future. The liquidated damages are about 50 million. As for The compensation... has not caused any obvious losses so far, so..."

Li Qiao summed it up lightly, "Too little."

Her gaze stayed outside the window, and her voice was unhurried, "The cost of training an AI engineer is more than one million. In addition, their previous annual salary and stock awards have to be converted into compensation."

Luo Yu was stunned.

Regardless of whether it complies with commercial norms or not, the amount calculated in this way is a sky-high price.

In fact, those AI engineers are not top technical talents, otherwise they would not be so indifferent.

At this time, without waiting for Luo Yu to speak, Li Qiao added, "They should all have signed a non-competition agreement. How much is the compensation in the agreement?"

"three times."

Li Qiao raised her lips slightly, and said with a final word, "In a rough calculation, let's start with 800 million."

Luo Yu: "..."

When Ms. Li made a move, the amount was directly multiplied by ten times.

The Qianmu Group is afraid that they will not compromise easily.

Luo Yu thought over and over again, and chose to tell the truth, "Miss Li, the level of those dozens of AI engineers is not high, the compensation..."

"It doesn't matter whether they are high-level or not." Li Qiao interrupted Luo Yu with a sly smile, "As long as we believe that they are high-level talents."

Understood.

It is wonderful to reverse black and white grandiosely.

Li Qiao smiled lightly, and looked sideways at Luo Yu, "Just follow this number and go to negotiate with Qianmu."

"OK."

Luo Yu took the lead, turned around and walked out of the suite straightly.

800 million in compensation, will she be kicked out by the negotiators of Qianmu Group?

...

As it was getting late, Li Qiao went out alone in a black sweater and jeans.

She put on a peaked cap and covered the hood of her sweater, walked out of the hotel, and walked slowly on the sidewalk.

The day after tomorrow is a lecture on artificial intelligence prosthetics, held in the conference center of Ada Castle.

There is plenty of time.

In the night, Ada City is brightly lit. In the southwest corner of the main city, there is a bar street with a long history.

With her hands in her sweater pockets, Li Qiao stood in front of a bar called Speak Easy, looking at the colorful light boxes, smiled, and walked in.

In this bar, you need to hand in your mobile phone to enter the bar, and walk through a long underground step to reach the inside of the bar.

Li Qiao put the phone in the tray, watched the bodyguard lock the tray into the cabinet, took the number plate, and followed the bodyguard downstairs.

The biggest difference between this place and other bars is that it is very quiet, there are no loud drumbeats or loud crowds, and the drinkers seated at each table are talking in a very low voice.

Li Qiao walked to table 012 alone, ordered two glasses of brandy, and took small sips.

In the dimly lit and too quiet bar, Li Qiao appeared here, obviously a different kind.

Because she is the only girl in the house.

The Speak Easy bar is not a place for drinking, it is the largest intelligence trading market in Ida State.

It can also be said that it is the only local intelligence organization that can compete with the Sixth Bureau.

But it is also slightly different. The business scope of the Sixth Bureau is for the whole world, while the intelligence here is only limited to the state of Ida.

The six bureaus offer high prices and will reject orders.

The Speak Easy bar does not refuse anyone, and they can give you all the local information in Ida, no matter how big or small.

At this time, Li Qiao had half a glass of wine, and her expression was a little impatient.

She tapped her fingers on the table lightly, and the speed gradually increased, a prelude to the exhaustion of patience.

Five minutes later, a man in a long black trench coat came down the steps at the end.

He was carrying a rectangular wooden box in his hand. He was tall and burly, with piercing eyes like a tiger, a slightly distorted nose, and a conspicuous scar.

When this person appeared, the voices in the bar became weaker.

Everyone stared at him intently, with a hint of caution in their eyes.

People from the Black Hawk Party in Ida State heard that he is planning to run for the current governor's election.

In a blink of an eye, the other party came to the wine table No. 012, and with a bang, the long wooden box was dropped on the table by him, "It's what you want."

His voice was very low, standard Burmese.

Li Qiao held the cup with one hand, glanced at the wooden box, frowned, and said coldly, "Send it to the hotel."
