Hello 1983 - Chapter 1158
Chapter 1158 Time will tell us the answer
Liu Qingshan entertained these compatriots who were helping each other in an old tavern in Chinatown, Los Angeles.
He handed over the mountain delicacies he brought to the chef of the restaurant, and helped him to process it. Sure enough, several old gentlemen were full of praise.
However, in the end, Liu Qingshan still tactfully expressed his thanks to the old gentlemen, expressing that he would trouble everyone again when needed.
Everyone was a little puzzled, Mr. Zhao pondered for a while, and then showed joy: “Little friend Qingshan, do you already have a way to deal with it?”
Liu Qingshan smiled and picked up the wine glass: “I’ll toast to all the seniors again.”
Three days later, the Los Angeles District Court finally opened the case concerning Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan is no stranger to this place. He came here a few years ago when he was in a lawsuit with the US National Security Agency.
The building of the court is still majestic and solemn, but Liu Qingshan knows that this does not represent absolute fairness.
His team doesn’t have a lot of people. Apart from the second sister Liu Yinfeng, Xiao Li is also with him, as well as Adrian from the Earth Network, Chambers from the film company, and a lawyer, so simple.
However, at the gate of the court, Liu Qingshan saw a huge news media, all armed with long guns and short cannons, it seemed that there were hundreds of them.
This case can be said to have alarmed the entire American media and received great attention.
There are even TV companies that broadcast live directly.
The broadcasting company where Linda worked was one of them. After seeing Liu Qingshan get off the car, Linda raised the microphone to greet him: “Mr. Mountain, hello, we meet again.”
Liu Qingshan was wearing a Chinese stand-up collar, tall and straight, with a smile on his face, calmly: “Hi Linda, it seems that I am very popular.”
“Of course, after all, the only person who can owe such a huge debt is Mr. Mountain.”
Linda said solemnly, she felt that Mr. Mountain seemed to have given up resistance, so she was a little angry. This is not the omnipotent and fearless Mr. Mountain in her mind.
“Mr. Mountain, are you ready to go bankrupt?” Linda turned to the topic.
Liu Qingshan shrugged: “I’m ready.”
Linda’s eyes flashed a complex and unavoidable look, and finally she just said softly: “Then I wish you good luck.”
The other reporters were not far behind, and began to ask questions in a hurry.
Liu Qingshan waved to them: “Time will tell us the answer.”
The reporters are not in a hurry. When the case is being tried, there is a special press booth, and they can participate in the whole process.
Liu Qingshan was about to lead people into the court, but saw a huge convoy approaching, and then foreigners in suits got out of the car one by one.
Besides, someone from Xiao Li’s family also came. It was Xiao Li’s elder brother who greeted Xiao Li, but Xiao Li didn’t even bother to respond.
Old Ba was not present, but a manager of the investment company sent as a representative.
He resisted this from the bottom of his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
“Hello, Mr. Mountain, today’s weather is good.” Lao Suo walked in the front of the group.
He is the organizer and planner of the whole event, responsible for planning and liaison throughout the process.
Behind him, there are representatives of several banks, as well as a team of lawyers and staff, which is quite spectacular.
“The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.”
Liu Qingshan looked up at the sky, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in the sky above the sea in the distance.
Of course, Lao Suo did not understand ancient Chinese poetry, he just shrugged his shoulders: “Mr. Mountain, now is the last chance to reconcile in court.”
“It is indeed the last chance.” Liu Qingshan repeated, “Mr. George, if you and the team you represent don’t want to be the object of public ridicule.”
Lao Suo narrowed his eyes, looking at Liu Qingshan, like a wolf staring at its prey: “No, Mr. Mountain, you have no chance to stand up.”
“Please.” Liu Qingshan stepped up the steps and walked into the gate of the court.
“You won’t cry until you see the coffin.” Lao Suo muttered, and led a large group of Wall Street elites into the gate.
Soon, the empty courtroom was full.
The reporters are excitedly preparing to record, the jury is waiting in full force, and the clerks, lawyers, etc. are all in their positions.
At 9:00 am, the court officially opened.
All the staff suddenly stood up, because the presiding judge had already walked out slowly through the small door at the back.
Liu Qingshan looked at the Santa Claus-like old judge, and smiled unconsciously.
Judge Francis sat down slowly, looked around the audience, and finally fell on Liu Qingshan.
The old man said cheerfully: “Mr. Mountain, we meet again. It’s a pity that you are standing in the dock this time.”
It gives people the feeling that they are chatting about family affairs.
Liu Qingshan bowed slightly: “Hello, Mr. Judge, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Life is like this, changing roles constantly.”
“Well, I hope it can be as everyone wishes, but I know that this is impossible, so no matter what the result is, after it happens, it will be a thing of the past. I hope everyone can just regard him as a memory.”
Judge Francis was long-winded, but everyone was not impatient. This was not only out of awe of the law, but also a respect for an old man full of life wisdom.
After asking the parties for the last time whether they agree to a settlement, Justice Francis is ready to enter the normal trial process.
At this time, Liu Qingshan gestured to the lawyer, and the lawyer then submitted a document to the judge.
The justice put on reading glasses and looked at it calmly. He read very slowly, and it took several minutes to turn a page.
Old Suo’s patience also slowly passed in this slow rhythm, and he gestured to the lawyer.
“Mr. Judge, can we begin?”
The lawyer politely asks the judge.
Francis took off his reading glasses, then rubbed his eyes lightly, and said slowly: “It’s over, I declare, this case ends here.”
“What the hell, it’s over before it starts!” Lao Suo finally couldn’t bear it and protested.
The people below no longer cared about the solemnity of the court, and made voices of dissatisfaction.
It is estimated that many people began to wonder: Mr. Justice, is he old and confused.
“A guy like this should retire and lie at home waiting to die.” No one knew who made a harsh mumbling.
“Okay, be quiet.” The justice tapped the small hammer lightly. “This is the material provided by Mr. Mountain, and there is a certificate jointly provided by Russia and Huaxia Oil and Gas Exploration Organization.”
“In East Siberia and the Far East offshore, two oil areas were discovered, both of which are super-large oil belts, with total reserves estimated to exceed 10 billion barrels.”
“The owner of these two oil areas is Mr. Mountain, so he will not go bankrupt. Of course, there is no need to try this case.”
The soothing words of the justice, to people’s ears, were like thunderclaps, shocking everyone dumbfounded.
Tens of billions of barrels of oil reserves, what is that concept? At the current oil price, that is hundreds of billions of dollars.
That is to say, that Mr. Mountain will become the richest person in the world in just one way!
As for cash, as long as there are oil fields in hand, there will be countless capitals all over the world, waving banknotes to send money.
Even Lao Suo, who is always as cunning as a fox, was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: “No, this is impossible, I suspect that these documents are forged!”
Lao Suo has now realized the seriousness of the problem: If the case really ends before it starts, then everything he carefully planned will be nothing but nothing.
Of course, there will definitely be countless ridicules and ridicules.
This is definitely going to be the biggest joke ever, and it gets passed on.
Perhaps decades or hundreds of years later, someone will still say this: Back then, there was a stupid guy who took the richest man in the world to court, saying that he would go bankrupt…
What’s more, as the organizer and planner of this incident, he will also face a huge crisis of trust.
An investor who loses trust can imagine the fate.
Thinking of this kind of result, Lao Suo felt chills running down his spine, so he must not lose.
Judge Francis looked at Lao Suo calmly: “There is also a fax just sent by the International Petroleum Organization, which also proves this matter.”
Old Suo immediately felt as if he had been hit hard, and shook his body twice. If it wasn’t for someone nearby to support him, he would have fallen directly to the ground.
Even though he has been on Wall Street for decades, he has never suffered a blow of this magnitude.
In order to plan this matter, he worked together vertically and horizontally, and was good at dancing with long sleeves, but in the end he danced lonely.
A moment ago, he was complacent and full of confidence to win; but now, success or failure is nothing.
“Young man, as I said, everything will pass.”
The voice of Justice Francis came again. Compared with the age of the justice, Lao Suo is indeed a young man.
But at this moment, Lao Suo’s mentality has collapsed. Even if the judge gave him a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, it would not be able to heal his spiritual wound at this moment.
“Mr. George, are you okay, I have musk baoxin pill here, maybe how many pills do you need?”
Liu Qingshan came to Lao Suo, took out a small medicine bottle, and shook it in front of his eyes.
Old Suo really felt a little pain in his heart, but after being hit hard, he calmed down completely.
He took two deep breaths, his eyes radiated cold light again, and stared at Liu Qingshan: “Next time, maybe you won’t be so lucky.”
By this time, Lao Suo knew that he had been tricked by this young man long ago.
Obviously, the other party had already explored a large area of oil belt before this, but they chose to endure it all the time, just waiting for the interest group he represented to jump out.
Wait until the happiest time of jumping, and then give a thunderous blow, let the whole world see their jokes.
This is simply rubbing his reputation and status on the floor unceremoniously. He will not avenge his revenge, and he is the wolf of Wall Street.
“Who knows, I am also looking forward to meeting Mr. George next time.” Liu Qingshan also looked at the other party, but his eyes were very peaceful.
In comparison, Lao Suo is completely at a disadvantage. Compared with Liu Qingshan, his realm is still a bit low.
“Goodbye.” Liu Qingshan glanced at Soros, then turned and left.
He knew that this guy would definitely hide in the dark and lick his wound, and then one day in the future, he would suddenly jump out from a dark place and take a bite.
But Liu Qingshan is not afraid, because he will become stronger and stronger.
Walking out of the courthouse, it took less than half an hour from coming in to going out.
The bright sunshine fell on his body, Liu Qingshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: “Today’s weather is really good.”
“Liu, you are so bad!” Xiao Li complained from beside him.
Liu Qingshan had been kept in the dark, and he was still worried about Liu Qingshan, but Xiao Li was extremely happy in his heart.
“Boss, congratulations on becoming the richest man in the world!” Adrian and Chambers were also beaming.
Their companies are all kept, so they don’t have to worry about being taken away by others.
Now they finally know why the boss has been so calm all the time, and whoever it is, who owns the massive oil resources, knows the bottom line.
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded towards them: “Okay, go back and continue working. I believe that after the news is published in the newspapers, the company’s stock will still rise a bit, and your wealth will increase again.”
These two are also minority shareholders of the company. Although they don’t hold many shares, the larger their size, the greater their wealth.
Xiao Li also whistled: “And me.”
Now that he is out of the family, he feels more relaxed.
More importantly, he won Liu Qingshan’s friendship, and it will be difficult for him not to get rich in the future.
As for Liu Yinfeng, she didn’t have much reaction, she only had joy in her heart.
Soon, reporters flocked.
“Mr. Mountain, congratulations, I think you will be the first to see your name on the latest Forbes rich list, how do you feel now?”
Reporter Linda is now smiling brightly: Mr. Mountain is still the idol she admires.
Liu Qingshan blinked: “No, Ms. Linda, you are wrong.”
uh-huh? Linda knew that Mr. Mountain would not answer questions honestly.
Liu Qingshan continued to laugh and said: “I’ll do the math for you. I used to be a billionaire, but now I own a 100 billion oil field, so it just offsets it.”
“That is to say, my current assets are basically zero, a pauper.”
Linda immediately laughed wildly: “Well, congratulations on becoming Mr. Pauper.”
Other reporters were also eager to try. Seeing the situation, Liu Qingshan quickly reached out and pointed to the door: “Everyone, I think Mr. George and his team need your comfort even more at this moment.”
Lao Suo and the others are coming out of the gate of the court. Although the reporters know that Liu Qingshan is embezzling others, they really want to interview the losers like Lao Suo, because now the public must be waiting to see their jokes.
Liu Qingshan got rid of the reporter, then waved to Linda: “As I said, I’m a lucky guy.”
Linda also waved goodbye: Is it really just luck?
