Charles rolled his eyes at Mattford. The old man didn't look like he was joking, which made him feel a little nervous, and he was also curious. It has to be said that legendary figures like Mattford are definitely not comparable to ordinary people. Even if Charles wanted to leave, he still wanted to hear what Mattford was going to say before leaving.

After all, it was suddenly decided to give yourself half of a huge industry, and anyone who was reluctant to take it, wanted to know what prompted Metford to make such a decision.

In fact, in Charles' view, Metford had a chance to escape from the city. Before the Earl's Mansion reacted, it was as simple as an application and immediate approval for a big man like him. No one would be kicked into trouble by a donkey for a few small money.

But he didn't plan to leave, and he wanted to divide half of his property to himself... Charles just wanted to know why.

After a brief silence, Charles shook his head, "Can you tell me why? Don't deceive and conceal it. Let's say something real. Only in this way can I make a rational judgment."

Metford breathed a sigh of relief, and even a smile appeared on his face, "I said, I want to use you. Many people know that you have a good relationship with the Earl's Mansion and the Queen. If you take over the Steam Daily, the people in Zhongcheng and Shangcheng will not have the courage to intervene in the operation of this place, nor will they want to swallow it."

He shrugged with his pipe, "Steam Daily was on the verge of bankruptcy. I pulled it back and let it grow to the point where it didn't require anyone to pay any fees. I could print a copy for everyone and make money. It was my half-life's hard work. I could die, but it, and its spirit cannot be eliminated!"

"In addition to these thoughts, I have some other thoughts..." He smoked and smoked, "You are a very emotional person. You may not have noticed it yourself, but I know."

"If the Earl's Mansion doesn't let me disappear and give me a chance to leave there alively, I need a chance to get up again. If the newspaper is gone, it will be difficult for me to get up, but if the newspaper is still there and it is still in your hands, I believe you will give me a chance, or even more opportunities, am I right?"

Shire nodded, assuming he agreed to Metford's request and became the owner and dominant of Steam Daily. When Metford comes to him one day, he will definitely give him the greatest help.

Metford's smile was even more, "If the Earl's Mansion was willing to let me go, then I believe that although I only have 50% of the shares in my hand, you will not compete with me for control of the newspaper. I am still Bos here, although we want to share the profits here."

"It seems like I've lost a lot, but in fact I made a profit because one of the newspaper's largest shareholders and has something to do with the Earl's Mansion. This is what I want to accomplish most in the past decade!"

"I will not lose money if I die, or if I don't die, and I will even get some reliable guarantees. My children far away in the royal court can continue to benefit from it, so that I can avoid my last worries. So, why don't I do this?"

He then took out three documents from the drawer and placed them on the table, "Before you come, I have asked someone to prepare this document. As long as you sign it, half of this newspaper will belong to you!" He pushed the contract to the edge of the table, took out a gold pen and put it on the table, gently pressing the equity gift agreement, and looking at Charles expectantly.

The moment Charles called him, he thought about running away, but soon he gave up on the idea.

Escape, where can I escape?

All his money and wealth are in Aipeda City. These things are either in the bank or real estate. Even if they go to the bank to withdraw money, they will not be able to withdraw much in a short period of time, and they may even be discovered in advance that he is going to run away.

Without this money, he would not have lived a great life even if he ran outside.

He was already very old, and the Sin Private Camp did not welcome him. The biggest Sin Private City was Liberty City, which was a city where he was integrated with heaven. If he had money, he would live in heaven. If he had no money, he would fall into hell. He could not even go there because he had no money.

And once he escapes, the Earl's Mansion will immediately seal the Steam Daily, and all his glory and wealth will evaporate instantly. Not only will he be unlucky, but his children far away in the imperial court will also be unlucky, so he cannot escape - the old Metford without wealth is not Mr. Metford that the Iron Brotherhood likes.

In order to keep the secret in his heart, some people even sent assassins to solve him, an insider who has no value.

But if he doesn't escape, he still has a chance to gamble, just like he did many years ago. If he wins the bet, it is no different from the past. As he said, instead, Charles became a shareholder of the newspaper, which will allow the newspaper and the Earl's Mansion to have further relations. This is a good thing.

As long as the newspaper is still there and under his control or influence, as long as he gains freedom, he can regain his heart and become a superior person anytime and anywhere. For people of their social status and level, making money is very simple as long as the rulers do not cause trouble for them.

If you lose a bet, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the worst choice is the best. If you lose a bet, you can leave something for yourself and your children, and leave something for your city or even in history. His life is perfect and he will not get any worse results.

All of this is based on the two "sensual" "repaying kindness" of Charles. For the first time, he took the initiative to take on a task and made Alfred the object of the newspaper's exclusive interview - it was impossible for him not to know this person. The previous style of thinking was just the reserve and acting of a big man.

That interview allowed Steam Daily to reveal the truth from a unique perspective, and the praise and subscription volume increased a huge step at once. At least they proved that they were not a tabloid with only six pages of news.

This time, Charles even took on some connections to call himself, which also shows that Charles is actually a very emotional person. The old man has been working in newspapers for so many years and has been involved in some secret clubs. He has seen so many people in his life that many people know each other in his life.

He saw Charles very accurately. When others thought that he had left the newspaper because of following the filming Queen, he had gained social status and influence, Metford had guessed the reason for him to do so. He just wanted to pursue a more free life because they talked about news transactions and buyouts.

Such a person who appears to be cold but is actually emotional and knows how to be grateful and repay kindness is the only suitable candidate around Metford.

If the newspaper is entrusted to other "tycoons" or even the Brotherhood of Steel, the moment he walked out of the newspaper door tonight was the moment he "deathed suicide for fear of guilt"!

On the surface, everyone is a good friend and a good brother. They can sit together and drink together for the group party, but in fact, everyone's inner covetousness and greed for other people's wealth, status, etc. have long been exposed.

It's like Metford was also greedy for other people's achievements, and no one is a good bird.

Only Charles is different. Of course, this is also a bet. He bets that he did not see the wrong person. He even knew how to deal with Charles correctly. Some people said that he had seen countless women in his life, but in fact, he could not count the men he had seen. This sentence seemed to be incorrect.

Seeing that Charles was still hesitating, Metford stood up with a smile. He placed his pipe on the table, unbuttoned his shirt, and was about to really kneel down and beg Charles, which made Charles embarrassed.

Charles looked at Metford with a bad face and sighed, "You are such a disgusting person!"

This sentence means Charles' promise. Mattford laughed and pulled out a bottle of sparkling wine from the wine rack in the office, poured a glass for Charles. He handed the glass to Charles and touched it, "Now it's my turn to call you Boss, Boss!"

Charles was a little hesitant but finally signed his name on the agreement. As Metford said, he did this without any harm to himself. Of course, he would not talk about a trace of inexplicable joy in his heart. He was going to keep this joy before showing it when Charles came back.

After signing, the two of them got one copy, and the other copy they would send to Aipad City Bank for "custody".

Looking at the documents in his hand, Mattford nodded with satisfaction and suddenly asked, "Shar, do you know why even though many people think that we have polluted Aepda's reputation, the Earl's Mansion still has no punishment or shut down us?"

After he put the documents down, he took out today's newspapers. Dozens of newspapers. Except for the two that had normal news on the outermost ones, the others were all photos of girls who could not afford to wear clothes, ranging in size, and some even had columns.

Of course, various assistance calls and solutions are indispensable in this. Many people are subscribing secretly and reading them secretly. Sometimes, as long as there is such a newspaper, it is already very useful to some people and there is no need to make a phone call to do anything.

Shire shook his head, with a hint of reserved pride on his face. He threw the newspaper back to the table and said, "Before they appeared, the crimes in the Lower Town were increasing every year, and no one could solve these problems, including in the Midtown District, similar crimes occurred."

"But with these things...", he photographed the newspaper, "These types of cases have dropped to the lowest level in history. There has not even been such cases in the past few years. From ten yuan to one thousand yuan, everyone can find a girl who suits their position. Don't think it is dirty, in fact, it solves the big trouble in the city!"

Maybe he was afraid that Shire would change some business philosophy in the future, so before leaving, Metford told Shire the most proud thing in his heart.

"Everyone thought I was a bastard, and even if I was, I was a proud bastard!
