Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1149
In the western suburbs of London, in an old castle.
Donnie Rothschild stood proudly by the window, holding a martini in his hand, looking out at the white fog that was rising outside.
A woman was kneeling behind him. The woman’s blond hair was draped over her white and smooth shoulders. She climbed up to Downey’s feet in a dog-crawling posture, and cuddled her cheeks on Downey’s legs, looking loyal.
She had a collar around her neck, and the long leash was in Downey’s other hand.
“Damn, I hate the weather in London!” Downey took a sip of his martini, looked down at the submissive blonde, and kicked her away: “I’m not in the mood to play with you today! Damn, you Shameless woman!”
The blonde looked up and looked at Downey with an expression of pleading for mercy.
If anyone was there at this moment, they would be shocked. The blonde in front of her was the female star who was famous in Hollywood and known as “the sweetheart of the movie world”!
But it is such a dazzling female star under the beautiful light, but at the moment she is a slave-like existence at the feet of Donnie Rothschild!
The servants below the castle all pricked up their ears, wanting to listen carefully to the whipping, scolding, and howling from upstairs, but unfortunately, they didn’t hear anything tonight.
This kind of silence made them a little unaccustomed to. According to common sense, every time Mr. Downey stayed in this castle and called Miss Sweetheart over, there would be a stern game, but tonight it seemed a little too quiet.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
The castle bell rang.
The housekeeper instructed the servant to quickly open the door to see if the person Downey wanted to wait for came.
Soon, guests were invited in, one was Mohammed, the Arab prince, and the other was Sir Charles of France.
“You two, please wait, I’ll report to Mr. Downey!” The old butler politely bowed to the two of them.
Looking at the old butler who was coping well, and the surrounding environment exuding the atmosphere of the old castle, Mohammed and Charlie glanced at each other unnaturally. This scene made them invariably appear that kind of vampire movie, huge black The castle, and the vampire Count Dracula…
Before the two could scare themselves, they heard footsteps coming from upstairs, and the two looked up, only to see Donnie Rothschild overlooking the two of them on the stairs on the second floor.
“Dear Mr. Downey, hello!”
“Please forgive me for disturbing you so late!”
Muhammad and Charlie bowed respectfully to Downey.
Downey nodded and said to the housekeeper, “Take out my treasured red wine, I want to share it with my distinguished guests!”
“Yes, sir!” The butler bowed and left, and went to the private wine cellar to get wine.
Here Downey came downstairs and invited Muhammad and Charlie to sit down in the parlour.
Downey was wearing a nightgown, reclining comfortably on the sofa, took out a cigar from the coffee table and threw it to the two of them: “Try it, it’s a personal order.”
Arabian princes Mohammed and Charlie are also people of noble birth.
Downey looked at the surprised expressions of the two of them, bit his cigar and smiled slightly: “What do you guys have to do with me so late?”
“We’re here to file a petition! Oh no, we’re here to report the situation to Mr. Downey!”
Downey took out the cigar match and lit the cigar, shook the match and threw it in the golden ashtray.
Looking at the extremely arrogant Donnie Rothschild, Mohammed and Charlie had different feelings in their hearts.
For this Middle Eastern prince, they are not bad on their side. The reason why he kept cursing with Donny and wanting to join the Apostles Association is to let the Apostles Association help open up their country’s arms business.
For a small Arab country full of oil, the surrounding wolves, tigers and leopards have long been eyeing their small chassis. If there is no strong armament, they cannot guarantee their own safety at all. For this reason, Muhammad had to come. Europe, come to the UK to seek refuge from these real bigwigs.
He came here not for money, but for safety!
Compared to Mohammed, Charlie from France is asking for money!
As a descendant of the declining French aristocracy, Charlie used to spend a lot of money with some capital in his family. Soon there was not much left of the huge family property. At this time, Charlie realized that no amount of money can be spent, so he hurried from France to the United Kingdom, hoping to join this mysterious “Apostolic Society” organization to help Make a comeback yourself.
Muhammad and Charlie had their own thoughts, but they had the same goal, and they would spare no expense to join the apostles.
The old butler brought up the treasured red wine, and Downey asked the butler to pour a glass for each person, and then looked at Mohammed and Charlie again with a proud attitude, looking at them like a superior waiting for a report from a subordinate.
“It’s like this, Mr. Downey.” Mohammed said, “We took the initiative to contact the Chinese businessman Shi Zhijian, and with him…”
Mohammed explained in detail the plan he and Charlie designed to trap Shi Zhijian.
Downey was smoking a cigar and drinking red wine with relish.
For a moment—-
“That is to say, you used that **** Shi Zhijian method to sign a tenfold compensation agreement with him? If he fails to provide you with 300,000 electric vehicles on time within three months, then it is a breach of contract and you need to compensate you for 300,000 electric cars. £900 million! On the contrary, if he can complete it on time, then a contract worth £900 million for 300,000 units will make him a full £500 million, am I right?”
“You are very wise, Mr. Downey!”
“Don’t you think it’s stupid to do this? This is the idea he came up with, and he defeated the unlucky Lawrence with such an idea. How could he, such a shrewd person, agree to your suggestion and sign a contract with you. Contract?” Downey felt that the two of them were idiots and took a sip of red wine.
Muhammad and Charlie looked at each other, “We thought the same as you at first, but… he agreed!”
“Cough, what?” Downey almost choked to death on the red wine, staring at the two of them, “What did you say? He agreed?”
“Yes, we were surprised at his decision, but he did. And—”
“And what?”
“And he also debunked the reasons for us doing this in person, saying that we did this to please you!”
Downey was stunned for a moment, then suddenly put down the wine glass, picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a big laugh, “Interesting! It’s really interesting!” Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he stared at the two of them fiercely, “Then now, he is letting you guys Come and declare war on me?”
Mohammed and Charlie were startled, and waved their hands quickly: “No, no! We don’t have that kind of courage, but we are uneasy now, and we don’t know what conspiracy and tricks the surnamed Shi is trying to figure out. I’m here to discuss with you!”
Downey looked at the trembling faces of the two of them and smiled: “What tricks can he have? Since he knew that you were filing a petition, he invited him into the urn and deliberately got in. You said, what is he going to do?” As soon as he patted the table, the red wine splashed, and he said angrily, “Aren’t you looking down on me and declaring war on me? Tell me through your mouth that he is not afraid of me, even if I use any means, he is not afraid!”
Seeing Downey’s sudden rage, Muhammad and Charlie shuddered, and when Downey calmed down a little, they dared to ask: “So, can we refuse to sign with him, so as not to be tricked by him? ”
“Haha, don’t you think this way is right in his tricks?” Downey seemed to see through Shi Zhijian’s mind, “He is playing psychological warfare with you—-he is gambling, betting that you will see through your tricks and tell you, you will be discouraged, Take the initiative to back down! Then he won the game without any effort! And you will only become a laughing stock, and I, who was pulled out by you as a supporter, will also become a joke!”
Muhammad and Charlie looked at each other the same way, thinking about it, and this is indeed the truth. Since Shi Zhijian dismantled their tricks, they have lost their minds. No wonder they fought psychological warfare!
“Then what should we do now?”
“How to do it? Of course I’ll sign a contract with him!” Downey’s face showed a sinister smile, “No factory, no workers, no help for him—-I want to see 300,000 electric cars in three months, he How to make it! How to supply it to you!”
At this moment, Donnie Rothschild seemed to see through everything Shi Zhijian and sneered at his tricks!
Mohamed and Charlie finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had found the backbone, Mr. Downey is really extraordinary!
After a few simple chats, Muhammad and Charlie didn’t dare to stay any longer, so they excused the time and had to go back first.
Downey didn’t want to keep him either, so he signaled the old housekeeper to see off the guest.
When the old housekeeper sent the two away, Downey drank the red wine for a while by himself, and the happiness mixed with the wine made him feel again, so he got up and shouted upstairs: “My servant, I slave, my dear pug! God, get on the leash and wait for me!”
…
As Shi Zhijian’s barrister, beautiful lawyer He Carrie was shocked when she learned that Shi Zhijian had handed over a big business contract involving billions to herself.
At this time, Hecarly had become independent from the Royal Lawyers Corps of the British Empire, and opened a new law firm with a grant from Shi Zhijian.
The team of lawyers has only recently been established. The entire firm has recruited four barristers, including Hecarly, a total of five people. A five-person team like them is simply not qualified to take on cases worth billions of pounds.
Shi Zhijian could have found a more reliable law firm to do it, but Shi Zhijian chose He Jiali. According to his words, I also have a stake in this firm. Such a big case will not flow to outsiders, of course not. Cheap outsiders!
For such an answer, Hecarly of course had doubts, she even wondered if Shi Zhijian was deliberately courting her and plotting to do something bad-after all, she was so good and so beautiful.
But Shi Zhijian’s next act directly broke Miss Hecarly’s self-beautification, and Shi Zhijian actually wanted to “take a cut” in this cooperation!
“I introduced the case, and I’m also a shareholder of the law firm. It doesn’t matter if I get a chance?”
I’ve never seen such a pretentious person! He even got a rebate from his own company? !
Hecarly was speechless.
But for Shi Zhijian, this is not a matter of pretense. According to British law, a contract involving 3 billion pounds like Hecarrie can earn at least 300,000 pounds. Sorry to myself!
On the day of the contract signing, old friend John Hong attended the signing ceremony on behalf of Shi Zhijian.
John Hong was also taken aback when he saw the content of the contract. He wondered if Shi Zhijian made himself a scapegoat by letting him attend the signing ceremony. Of course, this is just a joke.
Out of trust in Shi Zhijian, John Hong met Mohamed and Charlie very readily.
Here, the two also formed a huge team of lawyers, the purpose of which is to prevent Shi Zhijian from defaulting on his debts. Coincidentally, this team of lawyers happened to be the team of royal barristers that Hecarly worked for before.
This team of lawyers can’t be invited if they have money, and this time they are willing to help Mohammed and Charlie because of Donny Rothschild.
It was the first time for Hecarly to compete with the big law firm she had worked for, and her mood was inevitably complicated, and the people in the law firm had a strange expression when they saw her.
As we all know, Hecarly used to be the trump card of this law firm. Many people have done things under her, and now they are “enemies”.
However, when you are a lawyer, you must keep in mind that lawyers are animals without emotions, and all actions are for their own employers.
Like Hecarly, so is the Royal Barry over there.
After the two parties met, they started a war of words about the content of the contract, and they both wanted to earn benefits and gain an advantage for the employer in the contract.
Professional to professional, elite to elite!
This battle lasted for more than three hours, and even John Hong, Mohammed, Charlie and the others were impatiently waiting~www.mtlnovel.com~ Only then did they make the first agreement.
Of course, there is a second time, a third time!
A contract was signed, and it took three days of tossing, and this was all completed.
Since then, Shinhwa Electronics has formally reached an agreement with the two major buyers to provide 300,000 electric vehicles in three months with a deposit of 300 million pounds. If it is overdue, it will be punished tenfold, that is, 3 billion pounds!
Afterwards, Donnie Rothschild deliberately released news, and this huge multi-billion-pound super contract detonated the entire British business community for a while!
Not only alarmed the British business community, but also alarmed the British Prime Minister, the Queen of England!
Everyone will wait and see, waiting to see how Shinhwa Electronics completes this impossible contract!
You know, in such a short period of time, even if the whole of the United Kingdom takes action, it is impossible to complete it with the power of one country!
