Xiang Nan faced invitations from several major record companies, after deliberation, he finally chose to decline.
Because his purpose of becoming a singer is not to make a lot of money, but mainly to use the status of a superstar to cover his true identity after becoming famous.
Now, Xiang Nan believes that even if he stands in front of Conklin, he can't believe that he is Jason Bourne.
And this purpose, he has now achieved it. The next thing to do is to persevere, continue to release good songs, and consolidate your position.
Staying at Delos Records, he can still do it, and he can't afford to be a big record company.
Besides, even if he's going to a major label, it's definitely not now.
Because he has only released two singles now, although the sales are good, he also has a certain popularity. But what really tests a singer is the album.
If the sales of the album are not good, then the popularity of the singer is all false.
And there are so many "one special" singers in the music world. That is to say, only one album was released, and it didn't sell well, so it was hidden by the company ever since.
So at present, even if those big companies want to sign Xiangnan, the conditions will not be too outrageous.
Currently the highest price is 2 million pounds proposed by EMI.
In comparison, when Sony signed Michael Jackson, it cost as much as one billion U.S. dollars; Universal Music signed Taylor Swift for 200 million U.S. dollars; Sony signed Adele for 130 million U.S. dollars...
So Xiang Nan is not in a hurry to "sell the bag" now. Even if he wants to sell, after he becomes a superstar, let those record companies pay a sky-high signing fee to sign him.
I dare not say that compared with Michael Jackson, at least it cannot be less than 200 million US dollars.
…
Just when Xiang Nan rejected the invitations from the major records, Conklin led the team back to Langley in despair.
He came to Spain this time to find the real culprit who invaded the Madrid branch.
But he stayed in Madrid with his people for two months, checked all phones, cameras, spy satellites, and inquired about other spy agencies stationed in Madrid.
It is impossible for him to be endlessly exhausted on this matter, so he can only withdraw to Langley in despair.
And this case has become an unsolved case, which also puts more pressure on the CIA.
It is impossible to find out who did it, nor can it find out the purpose of doing it. The current CIA is like a blind man, who may be shot from the dark at any time.
This feeling of horror made Conklin almost unable to fall asleep.
And Conklin's superior, Ward Albert, was even more difficult to accept his incompetence.
"I gave you two months, two months, but you made no progress at all." Albert said angrily.
All the top-secret documents of the stumbling block project were stolen, which put the plan in jeopardy, which also made him angry and worried.
Because of the stumbling block project, he is in charge. Once this plan is exposed, he will face tremendous pressure. Had to take the blame and resign, and even bear legal responsibility.
So Albert was almost **** off.
He will retire in a few years, and he really doesn't want to be so embarrassing.
He did not handle this matter well.
But he swore that he had done a good job, but the opponent was too cunning and left no clues at all.
Therefore, he is a clever woman who cannot cook without rice.
…
"There is no other way, execute the removal plan." Albert then ordered Conklin.
Conklin's face froze for a moment, but then he nodded.
The so-called removal plan is to remove all the agents of the stumbling block plan.
In order to prevent those top-secret documents from being leaked and causing a fatal blow to himself, Albert decided to preemptively strike and the strong man lost his arm.
Kill all these agents by yourself, and then delete the data. At that time, even if these materials are exposed, he can still say that these materials are all forged.
Anyway, no one can be found, no evidence can be found, whether it is the bosses or the reporters, there is nothing they can do about him.
It’s just that these agents are trained with a lot of money, manpower, and material resources. Each is worth a lot of money, like Jason Bourne, worth 30 million US dollars. Once it is all cleared, the price is quite high.
It can be said that the loss was really heavy.
It's just that Albert only wants to keep himself now, so no matter how high the price is, he has to accept it. Otherwise, if he does not sacrifice others, he must sacrifice himself.
Subsequently, under the instructions of Albert, Conklin began to execute the removal plan, killing the agents of the stumbling block project, clearing all the information of the stumbling block project, and destroying the evidence.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan read about death cases in Rome, Hamburg, Barcelona, Innsberg, Manchester and other places in the newspapers.
Some people died of gunshots, some died of car accidents, some died of poisoning...the death toll has exceeded 20 people, most of them were bizarre deaths.
After seeing the news, Xiang Nan realized that it was the CIA executives who started to execute the purge plan.
They want to kill almost all the insiders and destroy the evidence so as to ensure that their official titles will not be dropped, which is really extremely cold-blooded and cruel.
As a result, the top-secret information in Xiang Nan's hands is not very useful.
But this is not entirely a bad thing for him.
First of all, these agents are well-trained. Perhaps the strength of a single person is not as good as Jason Bourne, but tigers cannot hold back a pack of wolves. If they join forces, they will still pose a considerable threat to Xiang Nan. But now, they have all been eliminated, reducing the threat to Xiang Nan.
Secondly, after the stumbling block project was shut down, all materials were archived, and it was difficult to intervene without certain permissions.
In "Bourne Shadow II", Pamela Landy is already a high-level CIA executive, and she has no access to the files of the Stumbling Block project. In this way, as long as Xiang Nan is not targeted by the CIA in the next few days, no one will be able to find out his details.
Three, the stumbling block plan is actually not enough to bring down Ward Albert and Conklin.
Because the stumbling block plan is external, the targets of the assassination are all foreigners who are a threat to the United States, so even if this matter is exposed, Albert and Conklin will be given asylum.
Just like back then, Snowden broke the Prism Project scandal, which shocked the whole world. But the U.S. Secretary of State still said that surveillance is in the national interest and that there is nothing unusual about surveillance of allies.
In the end, none of the top U.S. intelligence agencies left because of this incident. On the contrary, Snowden has been hunted all over the world, and even considered a traitor by more than half of Americans.
So Xiang Nan knew that the stumbling block plan alone could not get Ward Albert. It must be the Black Heather Project, because that plan not only kills foreigners, but also kills Americans.
