Chapter 1106 1104 [Don’t stop me from serving the people!]
Edward didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If outsiders hear this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to inherit my title!"
"So what if it's difficult? The worst thing you can do is give me your villa and your land! As for titles and such, don't forget about these false titles!" Wells was very open-minded and didn't care at all what others thought of him.
When Edward heard this, his eyes became stern: "What you think is too good! Without my title, how can you inherit my villa and land? These are all complementary to each other! Do you think you buy one and get one free?!"
When Wells heard this, he immediately stuck out his tongue and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"Go and prepare. In the next few days, I may be asked to come forward to meet with Shi Zhijian to solve the energy company problem!" Edward said, "I am old and about to be buried. This may be the last thing I do to help the British Empire.
Something!”
"Well, why did the higher-ups ask you to do it?" Wells was puzzled.
Edward slowly laid his eyes on the "Collected Stories of Edgar Allan Poe" on his desk, "Do you know which of Edgar Allan Poe's stories is my favorite?"
"Black Cat!"
"Yes!" Edward looked up at Wells and said, "You can't have evil intentions in your heart. If you have evil intentions, people will see through them sooner or later! Last time Shi Zhijian was awarded a medal, the commander deliberately made a small fuss. Now he has something to ask of others, so where can he go?
Are you willing to give up your face? Of course you have to let me, an old guy, take action! At least, my past title is still there - the former King of Great Britain!"
Wells seemed to understand something, "Then I'll go get ready! Maybe he'll save my face and everything will be easy to discuss!"
"Really? You look quite proud!"
"No! We are good friends!"
"You think you are his friend, but what about him?"
"This--I'd better prepare first!" Wells said no more and ran away in a hurry!
"Hey!" Edward exhaled and his bright eyes dimmed, "Now I am becoming more and more curious about that young man named Shi Zhijian!"
…
"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The UK is about to join the European Union!"
"Brilliant! Brilliant! Shinhwa Group has made a comeback! More than 300 energy companies have achieved monopoly!"
The next day, the whole of London was overwhelmed by these two major events!
Countless people were talking about this big event in the streets and alleys.
One is related to the British economic development, and the other is related to the British national economy and people's livelihood!
But what everyone is talking about the most is "A Chinese is about to take charge of the energy market of their British Empire!"
To be precise, the capitalist market that makes them proud is about to have a super monopolist, and this monopolist is actually a real Chinese!
Inside the cafe.
"Damn it! Our great Britain must never hand over its energy to a foreigner!"
"Yes, the glory of our empire on which the sun never sets will be completely lost here!"
Inside the bar.
"I heard that the Chinese acquired more than 300 energy companies in our British Empire!"
"In the future, when we use coal and natural gas, we will have to look at his face!"
"Damn, what a disgrace!"
For these gossip-loving British people, although Britain is now in decline, as citizens of the Empire on which the sun never sets, they still retain their pride and vanity in their bones!
Prior to this, when Shi Zhijian acquired bankrupt companies, they all laughed at him, thinking that he was a Chinese fool who picked up the trash that the British did not want and disposed of it!
But in the blink of an eye, those garbage were turned into treasure, which caused a huge psychological gap among them. They wished they could transform into messengers of justice, whip Shi Zhijian and snatch those energy companies away from him!
…
"I will always believe in the laws of the British Empire!" In the study room of the villa, Shi Zhijian, holding the acquisition contracts with complete procedures, said righteously to barrister He Jiali.
Hercari and her fellow lawyers all had strange expressions.
John Hong, who was arranged by Shi Zhijian to handle the follow-up work, simply rolled his eyes.
During this period, Shi Zhijian basically left all acquisition matters to He Jiali's legal team.
This team of royal lawyers is really not built for nothing, let alone just for nothing!
In just over half a month, all the acquisition agreements of 300 energy companies have been completed, not even a hair was missed. This also transformed Shi Zhijian into the number one energy tycoon in the UK at the moment! And he is also Chinese!
For He Jiali, she even suspected that Shi Zhijian knew what would happen right from the time he acquired these companies! Otherwise, he would not be so decisive during the acquisition, let alone spend a lot of money to invite a team of lawyers like them.
deal with!
But this suspicion is somewhat unreasonable, unless Shi Zhijian has the ability to predict things before and after!
When Hejiali thought of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and throw away these thoughts!
Now, Shi Zhijian is waving those contracts in his hands, vowing to believe in the laws of the British Empire and having full confidence in the law. The implication is that no one can take away these companies I acquired! They are protected by law!
"Mr. Shi, even so, there are some things I still want to remind you!" He Jiali has never had a good impression of Shi Zhijian, but because Shi Zhijian invested 50 million in her future law firm, she reminded you, "Although
The companies you acquired are protected by law, but the current situation is special. No democratic country will let a foreigner control or monopolize their domestic energy resources!"
Shi Zhijian: "Why didn't you say these things before? Why didn't you say it when I bought those rubbish? You were still clapping your hands to celebrate that I was such a big fool and an idiot! Now, why are you feeling sour again?"
"This -" Hejia Li was speechless. As a British person, her psychological change was similar to that of others. She also treated Shi Zhijian as an idiot at first, but now she is full of sorrow.
"What, you can't answer? Then there is nothing to say next. I will never sell these companies! No matter how much money you give me, it will be the same!" Shi Zhijian deliberately raised his voice loudly.
Because he knows that only in this way can the news be spread smoothly, and people outside will know how firm Shi Zhijian's attitude is, and then the negotiations will be open to the public!
Shi Zhijian is not stupid. He certainly understands what these energy companies will mean after they are revitalized.
It is not the turn of a Chinese like him to take the lead in the energy market of an established country like the UK!
Therefore, Shangfeng will definitely try his best to regain those companies from him, and what Shi Zhijian has to do now is to increase his bargaining chips so that he can bargain better!
Sure enough, Shi Zhijian's acting skills as a drama queen directly deceived He Jiali and others.
"Mr. Shi, I will hand over the contract with Mr. John Hong according to your wishes! But I still have to say, this is Britain, and sometimes the law fails under the power!"
"Thank you for your kindness! I will keep it in mind!" Shi Zhijian looked perfunctory.
Seeing that he couldn't listen, Hercari stopped talking.
The next few days seemed to confirm what Hejia Li said. Things like the law sometimes really fail under the power.
Lawrence, the president of the London Chamber of Commerce, initially visited Shi Zhijian and once again begged Shi Zhijian to sell the company so that he could recycle it!
Shi Zhijian refused again and then asked him to leave slowly!
As a powerful figure in the London business community, how could Lawrence be so easy to get rid of?!
Lawrence immediately filed a contract lawsuit against other members of the Joint Chamber of Commerce, saying that there was a problem with the contract previously signed with Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian had bought inside information early on and knew that the coal and natural gas market would skyrocket in the future, so his behavior was fraudulent!
Although this reason for not even believing in ghosts is very pale, it was taken over by the London court!
The reason is simple, we are all British!
At this time, Shi Zhijian's foresight became apparent. Fortunately, he spent a large sum of money to hire a team of royal lawyers, such as Hercari, and gave them full authority to handle these acquisition projects.
The lawsuit filed by Lawrence and others is tantamount to questioning the ability of this team!
This is someone who can’t afford to be embarrassed!
They have always served the British royal family. It is already very rare for them to lower themselves to serve Shi Zhijian. If they are questioned about their professional ability again, then they will no longer have to mess around in the legal profession!
As a result, the Royal Lawyers Group of the British Empire, represented by Hercari, began to fight with the litigation lawyers hired by Lawrence and others!
During this period, Shi Zhijian continued his efforts and spent a lot of money to buy Bo Bo's sympathy! And once again expressed his attitude that he would never sell those energy companies! He firmly believed that there was justice in the British Empire!
There are some "public intellectuals" appearing in every country and every era, and the same is true in the UK!
When Shi Zhijian shouted like this, he called out those public intellectuals!
They looked at this incident from a moral perspective and felt that Shi Zhijian, as a foreigner, had been bullied. Although his control of British energy resources was detrimental to the future, Shangfeng must keep his promise and protect the legal boundary!
"Whether national rights and interests are more important or legal justice is more important? This is a question worth pondering!"
"Without the law as the cornerstone, no matter how strong the system is, it will collapse!"
…
"I love these messengers of justice to death!" Shi Zhijian closed the newspaper and said to Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong smiled so hard that his triangular eyes narrowed into a thin line, "Boss, you're right! These ghosts are crazy, and for the sake of justice, they actually go against their own people!"
"This doesn't mean that your brain is filled with water, but that you have a high level of consciousness!" Shi Zhijian praised, "If all people were like this, then there would really be world peace! By the way, how are things going at the labor agency?"
"According to your instructions, Charlemagne, Akagi Xiong, and Ruan Jinlong have established the company and recruited 13,000 people for our mine in one go!"
"Wow, so many!" Shi Zhijian said in surprise.
For Shi Zhijian, cheap labor is the most difficult thing to solve in the coal mining industry. Now that this aspect is taken care of, the prices of those coal mines can soar again.
“I didn’t expect them to be so motivated to work!”
"Of course! Boss, just count the heads for them. For one more person, they will get more money!"
"Why, are you jealous? My principle of doing business is very simple. If you want the horse to run, you must feed it with enough grass! I know you advanced 500,000 yuan last time, and I will double the compensation for you in the future!" Shi Zhijian smiled at Yan Xiong road.
Yan Xiong was so beautiful that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear: "Boss, you are out of touch when you say this. I don't follow you for money, I follow you because you saved my life! I, Yan Xiong, was being hunted, and you were the one who took it. Save me from the pit of fire!"
"Oh, that's it! Then just pretend I didn't say anything and take back what I just said!"
"No, boss!" Yan Xiong said hurriedly, "As your subordinate, how can I refuse your kindness? Besides, I only care about you!"
"You're right, be sincere! Tell Ax Jun that I'm going out for a walk and ask him to prepare a car!"
"Huh? There's a lot of chaos outside now. Do you want to go to Biandu?"
"Of course we are going to break the situation!" Shi Zhijian stood up, took out his suit jacket, and raised his eyebrows: "Rather than just wait and wait, it's better to take the initiative!"
…
Wildrose Theater.
This club was founded by Earl Jester, the so-called "Three Cheesy Clubs in London", together with Sir Henry and Sir Vivendi!
Of course they opened such a large theater not because they loved art, but because they loved the beautiful London girls who performed art here.
As the name suggests, the Wild Rose Theater is boring, but the programs performed here are very tasteful, including Shakespeare plays, ballets, symphonies, etc.
For Earl Jester and others, what these three big bosses like to watch most is "pole dancing"!
It is said that this wonderful dance came from Hong Kong, and it became popular as soon as it entered London!
This kind of dance also allowed the three Jesters to see what "superb dance art is!"
To this end, Jester and the other two people specifically inquired about the founder of this dance. It is said that it was a Chinese named Shi from Hong Kong who came up with the idea!
For a moment, Jester and the others felt like they had met their close friends. Although they did not know the Hong Kong man named Shi, they felt that they sympathized with each other!
In particular, Earl Jester often told everyone when he was drunk that if he saw the Hong Kong man named Shi, he must carry his shoes to express his respect for him!
At this moment, Earl Jester was sitting in his seat, looking at the coquettish female panther and wolf dancing on the pole on the stage with languorous interest, and was distractedly thinking about other things.
Sir Henry and Sir Vivendy were no longer interested in their favorite dance, and their expressions were dull.
For the three of them, these days are like a year.
They originally thought they could take advantage of Shi Zhijian to soar into the sky when they got the chance. Who would have thought that they would come to visit, but Shi Zhijian would turn a blind eye to them!
This is embarrassing!
After all, they are also the highest-ranking aristocrats in the British Empire. They want to cooperate with Shi Zhijian to develop energy companies. Now people are avoiding them. They can't be hot-tempered but cold-hearted?!
"Could it be that the three of us have been fooling around like this all our lives, and have been identified as playboys, unable to turn around in our lives?" Earl Jester thought angrily in his heart.
Just then——
Suddenly, a subordinate quietly came over and reported: "Your Majesty, someone wants to see you!"
"Who is it?" Jester said angrily.
"He said his name was Shi Zhijian!"
"What?" Jester jumped up from his seat with a look of disbelief!
