Chapter 209: money

Before long, there was another knock on the door.

Then I saw Charles who didn't lower his head, but didn't dare to look at Philip, and brought in the old Aston and other seven people.

The seven stood in two rows and respectfully saluted Philip, who was standing at the desk.

As for how much sincerity there is, then God knows.

Since the old Aston can be called a lord, it means that he is at least a nobleman above the baron and below the duke.

If the nobles of this kind of title have not experienced unfair treatment, they are generally diehards of the royal family and the noble system.

Aston, who is already over 80, was born when the English aristocracy was not completely decayed, allowing him to experience the glory of the aristocracy.

When inheriting the title of the family, it was an extremely difficult battle among the nobles.

The old Aston, who died of an older brother, a younger brother, and went on the battlefield himself, wants to support the Aston family and restore the glory of the family, it must be difficult to rely on himself.

And since he was in the diamond business, he must have done a lot of disgraceful things, so Philip would easily take over the negotiation with the old Aston.

Respectfully finishing the courtesy with Philip, old Aston stood facing Philip, and Li Changheng, who was two meters away, questioned him.

"Henry, now that we have reached an agreement, in front of the holy King of England, we can now tell us where the diamonds are.

Of course, once we confirm the authenticity of the diamond and promise you the reward, it will be paid to you immediately. "

Li Changheng shrugged, "I have found the clues to the motives and methods of the diamond theft, so I almost asked where the diamonds were hidden.

But the most suspected Mr. Hobbs had committed suicide once in order to protect his accomplices.

In this case, I can't push too hard.

Otherwise, if the diamond is not found, you will be charged with torture and death. "

"this,"

The shareholders and directors of the Diamond Group were immediately unable to speak in front of Philip, suggesting that diamonds are important and human lives are worthless.

For Li Changheng, it is impossible for him to really tell the two tons of diamonds until Sinclair Insurance Company pays the 100 million pounds to the Diamond Group, and the Diamond Group puts the money into Hobbes’ account. .

And this matter can't be delayed for long, after all, diamonds are hidden in the sewage treatment tank, and it is not foolproof.

Fortunately, Hobbs himself knew this, and only gave the Diamond Group 48 hours, which forced them to have no time to think too much.

In addition, Sinclair-Barkley told the media about the theft of the diamond, which forced the Diamond Group to devote a lot of energy and network to appease and stabilize customers.

To get the reporter, you have to look for evidence to force the Royal Insurance Association, and look for official relationships, and approve the insurance association to compel Sinclair Insurance Company to pay 100 million pounds of insurance.

And Li Changheng, an explicit helper, secretly had bad intentions, and deliberately delayed taking over the investigation task.

With the three-pronged approach, the Diamond Group has no extra effort to search for diamonds on a large scale in such a short period of time.

Seeing Li Changheng did not dare to take the risk of interrogating the suspected Hobbes, Old Aston frowned and asked, "Then what are you looking for us to do here?"

Li Changheng couldn't help but look at Philip.

Philip knocked on the desk with his hand. "Lord Aston, can we talk in private?"

Old Aston thought for a while before nodding, and then Li Changheng and Charles left the study with the other 6 shareholders.

I don't know what Philip and Aston said, half an hour later, he was silent to deal with the chattering Charles and Lee Chang-hyung of the Andrew brothers.

Seeing the study door opened, he immediately stood up.

I saw the old Aston with a smile on his face but a look of discomfort and worry in his eyes, and the six shareholders got together.

The seven people gathered in a corner of the meeting room and whispered for more than an hour, and finally used the voting method to determine whether they agreed with Philip's proposal.

It's done.

Seeing the helpless expressions of the seven diamond group shareholders, Li Changheng knew that they had agreed, and that they had reached an unanimous agreement.

At the same time, I was convinced in my heart that Philip had 100% of the diamond group in his hands early on, or the shareholders who were present.

Otherwise, it is just money, which may not allow these antiques to compromise.

In an instant, Li Changheng felt that putting Philippura on was definitely the wisest decision.

After taking a stake in the Diamond Group, this company with a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars in the future, 5% is 15 billion US dollars.

After receiving affirmative answers from seven shareholders, Philip said with a smile to Li Changheng, "Henry, let's talk."

Entering the study and closing the door, Li Changheng just sat down when a newspaper was still in front of him by Philip.

"The London Evening News has reported on the Diamond Group and the theft of diamonds.

Oliver Aston, who did not follow, took the evidence at 8 o'clock tonight and went to the Royal Insurance Institute to ask them to explain the matter.

During my negotiations with Lord Aston, when I mentioned his grudge with Sinclair.

He himself made the condition of destroying Sinclair Insurance Company and asked me to cooperate with him to make Sinclair Insurance Company pay 100 million pounds.

So, when the talk was about the time, I had already called the Royal Insurance Institute. When the bank opens tomorrow morning, the money will be transferred to the designated account of the Diamond Group. "

After speaking, Philip sighed with emotion, "Hatred and wealth will always be the greatest motivation for mankind to do anything.

Aston and I agreed on the condition that you have to pay 35 million pounds to their 7 shareholders."

"Talk about the contract tomorrow, and the contract can be transferred as soon as you sign a few days later."

After Li Changheng finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked at Philip.

Philip nodded with a sigh, "The 35 million pounds is for seven shareholders, not the Diamond Group.

When a crisis is in sight, it is easy for people to make plans for themselves.

So you have to transfer this 35 million pounds into their 7 UBS accounts.

And the 5% of the shares they gave will have to be after you actually find the two tons of diamonds.

When it is announced, it will be valued at 500 million pounds, deliberately increasing the true value of the diamond, artificially expanding your merits.

Then use the 5% legal bounty for the lost property as a basis to reward you with 5% of the group’s shares as a reward for saving the entire group.

The most important thing is secretly, there will be rumors that you forced the Diamond Group to sign a 5% share contract before the diamond was retrieved.

The media who like to think about conspiracy theories will definitely report the latter point as the real reason.

In this way, the matter of your shareholding becomes reasonable.

However, these shares are not allowed to be traded in the next ten years, and the voting rights you want can only be determined by the board of directors to decide whether to let you join after making greater contributions to the Diamond Group in the future. "

Li Changheng frowned, "In other words, I spent 60 million pounds and only made a pure investment?"

"Take a long-term view, Henry."

Philip persuaded, "In two months you will be 19 years old and Lord Aston is 81. Regardless of time or ability to make money, you are on the side of the winner.

As for Oliver Aston~lightnovelpub.net~ he shouldn't be your opponent, right? "

"Okay", Li Changheng was helpless on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

It doesn't cost money to buy shares, which means that no one can question the legitimacy and legality of his shares.

Transferring another 35 million pounds to the accounts of seven shareholders with UBS means that everyone is complicit.

In the future, if something goes wrong because of this billion pounds, it will be unlucky for everyone.

But this is impossible. The seven shareholders who have received the money will stand with Li Changheng 100% and cover up and destroy all clues and evidence.

Moreover, the money was transferred internally by UBS and would not attract the attention of the outside world, which is why Philip was willing to come forward.

Then Li Changheng thought, this matter should not involve Annie.

After thinking for a while, he said, "After I buy the land in Hyde Park, I will donate it to the royal family's private fund anonymously.

You and I certainly don't want to involve Annie, right? "

Philip smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Very well, I did not misunderstand you, boy."

A flash of pride in Philip's eyes immediately reminded Li Changheng of the situation when they met this morning.

The old man said that he hoped he could buy the land near Hyde Park and return it to the royal family as a gift for his marriage to Annie.

At that time, I vowed to say that the land would be passed on to myself and Anne's descendants, but I didn't expect that the land would really become the royal family if it didn't arrive for a day.

Then the next morning, Li Changheng, who was still unhappy, fell silent when he saw the newspaper.

ps, 5 more for monthly pass.
