Chapter 407 Internal Strife Through Transmission: The Fish Takes the Bait!
Chapter 407 Internal Strife Through Transmission: The Fish Takes the Bait!
Adebayor maintained a smile on the surface, but his mind was racing.
The second round of flattery was even more direct than the first!
Moreover, it directly pitted him against Shen Fei, separating his success from the success of Chuanyin.
This person is truly a master; it's not just simple flattery, but rather packaging real events in a different way to make you feel that what he says actually makes sense.
Just like the Lei Jun he imitated.
However, this question must be answered properly, otherwise it will definitely arouse Holman's suspicion, and the other party's next move may not be so pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Hoffman, I'm a little embarrassed by what you're saying."
Adebayor scratched the back of his head, but his face still showed an expression of being slightly flattered by the praise.
He originally wanted to just pretend to be stupid, but then he suddenly thought that this way would be more realistic.
"But to be honest, as you just said, there are indeed many people in Africa who only recognize me!"
For some government officials, things that I can resolve with a single phone call might take others months to process. This isn't a matter of ability; it's a matter of trust.
Africans trust each other; it's in their blood.
Hoffmann's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he wanted to hear. His attendants immediately jotted down the reply:
Adebayo believes the success of Transmit is due to him.
So he immediately asked the third tempting question:
"So you think Africa's technology industry should be led by Africans?"
"certainly!"
Adebayor answered this question without hesitation, after all, Transsion has always done this, only cultivating local forces and never showing its face.
"I have always said that Transsion is not an outsider, Transsion is part of Africa."
But if one day a truly African-led African tech company rises to prominence, that will be the golden age for the African tech industry.
This sentence was carefully crafted.
On the surface, he was responding to Hoffman's question, but deep down he was giving Hoffman the first hook, making him think that Adebayo already had the idea of leaving Transmedia and going it alone.
Hoffman took the bait!
He quickly jotted down a few notes in his notebook, then looked up and asked a question, seemingly casually.
"Have you ever thought about becoming a leader yourself?"
It doesn't represent telepathy, it represents this very issue!
The air in the office had been cold for a long time. Adebayo looked at Hoffman, and Hoffman looked at Adebayo.
Their eyes met in the air, like two swordsmen facing off in the darkness.
Hoffman's eyes were full of anticipation. After all, he had interviewed people with similar questions before, but Adebayo had just achieved fame and fortune back then and didn't have such great desires...
Will his current views change?
Under such gazes, Adebayor lowered his head, then after thinking for a moment, he raised his head and gave a meaningful smile.
"Mr. Hoffman, that's a good question."
I've thought about it!
Of course, let me clarify here: it's not that I want to leave, but rather that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier.
He paused deliberately for a while.
Hoffman paused for a moment, thinking he had caught a big fish.
He thought he had been honest with Adebayor, getting him to open up and reveal his ambitions. Of course, it would have been even better if Adebayor had also voiced some of his grievances.
Unfortunately, they talked for the next two hours, and the more they talked, the more relaxed Adebayo became, and their relationship grew increasingly harmonious.
Unfortunately, he failed to elicit any information from Adebayo about his dissatisfaction with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation!
[Adebayo: Nonsense, I'm just messing with idiots. Do you really think I'm an idiot?]
After the interview, Hoffman shook hands with Adebayo, a handshake that was firmer than when he first arrived, as if he were shaking hands with a future partner.
"Mr. Adebayor, today I witnessed your vision for the African technology market, so we will do our best to follow suit."
Perhaps you will soon meet a like-minded partner!
"expect!"
Adebayor said with a smile.
After a week of intensive processing, the latest issue of Time magazine has been officially published.
Adebayor leaned against the office window, with the bustling city of Las Vegas behind him.
The interview did not mention Adebayo's dissatisfaction with Transsion, but only his gratitude towards Transsion. However, his ambition to go it alone was still evident between the lines.
The report concluded: "As the king of Africa's tech world, perhaps he's grown tired of being someone else's general!"
In addition, former Nigerian President Obasanjo also posted a tweet:
"Adebayor is the pride of Nigeria."
No matter where he is or what he does, he will succeed!
As for related topics and discussions on social media, they are also quite popular.
For example, Weibo in China.
#Interview during the Adebayor era#
"See? Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Making him the CEO of Africa after losing weight is the worst choice ever."
"This guy has revealed his ambition too early. He's just a dog anyway, so it's better to replace him with someone more obedient."
"Are you guys out of your minds? He just said he had some ideas about starting a business..."
Besides, isn't it normal for a highly skilled employee to start their own business? After all, they have the money and the energy.
"It feels like Adebayo is showing his loyalty to Shen Fei. After all, he's an African who became the president of the Africa region, which is equivalent to being on par with a king, and he hasn't sent anyone to check or balance him..."
It's normal for Adebayor to be a little flustered!
Meanwhile, many people shared these comments on AfriLink, and the number of people discussing them continues to increase...
It also successfully made it onto the trending topics list in Africa.
#Adebayo's team goes solo#
#AfricanTechnologicalGoldenAge#
In these discussions, it seems that Adebayo and the telepathic connection have indeed developed a crack without their knowledge, and one that is irreparable.
Meanwhile, the message was transmitted from the African headquarters.
Adebayor's assistant receives dozens of calls every day, including media interviews, colleagues trying to get information, and various intermediaries wanting to make connections.
However, at this critical juncture, Adebayor had his assistant politely decline all offers.
He's waiting! Waiting for the fish to swim over on their own.
On December 20th, the fish finally arrived.
That afternoon, Adebayo had just finished lunch at a high-end restaurant on Victoria Island in Lacks and was about to leave when a manager came over and whispered to him:
"Mr. Adebayo, a gentleman wishes to see you."
He seems to be from some investment group and wants to talk to you.
Adebayo smiled: "An investment group? What's its name?"
"He wouldn't say. He only said that he would tell you when he saw you, and that he meant no harm."
