His Royal Highness Wales waited in front of a stretched Lincoln with his hands behind his back and a proud attitude.
Yan Xiong said to him in a flattering manner: "Our boss will be out soon. Please bear with me, Your Highness, Mr. Wells!"
Yan Xiong found out clearly that the young man in front of him was an incredible member of the British royal family!
Wells snorted and looked indifferent to Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong's hot face touched his cold buttocks, and he could only laugh.
Just at this time, Shi Zhijian came out of the Grand Theater.
At a glance, Shi Zhijian saw the arrogant and arrogant Wells, and immediately shouted: "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be you!"
When the attendants around Wells heard this, their expressions changed immediately. They wanted to scold Shi Zhijian for being bold on the spot, but Wells felt extremely comfortable being scolded, "Is it me or who is it? God, I really like it when you scold me like this!"
"Huh?" The attendant almost choked to death!
Yan Xiong also looked stunned, wondering if the royal young master was sick.
Shi Zhijian didn't care about that. He was still followed by Jester and his gang. He immediately turned around and said to the three Jesters: "I'm sorry, I have to say goodbye to you all! But what I proposed before will definitely count! Three
100 million, two hundred companies, OK?”
Jester and the other three’s cheeks twitched, they’re so big! Only a devil could spend so much money!
Over there, Wells pricked up his ears and heard Shi Zhijian's words clearly, and immediately organized those words to make up his mind. Two hundred companies, three hundred million pounds?
Shi Zhijian pretended not to see Wells's expression, and shook hands with Jester and others again to say goodbye: "You three, don't keep a straight face, there is an old saying in China that 'Business cannot be done without kindness and righteousness'!" After speaking, he took the initiative to talk to Jester and others.
The three of them hugged each other, "Besides, our hobbies are so similar, we all like pole dancing! Then, see you soon!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he waved goodbye to the three of them. From Wells' point of view, the three of them seemed to have a deep relationship.
After finishing the scene here, Shi Zhijian turned around and started acting with Wells again.
In fact, Wells' appearance at this point was deliberately arranged by Shi Zhijian.
Yan Xiong is also very efficient in doing things. He brought Wells here directly to put pressure on Jester and the others.
"Let's go, Your Highness Wells, I will accompany you to Windsor Gardens!"
"Of course this is good! But what I'm curious about is - what is pole dancing?"
"No way, you don't even know this?"
"Of course! As soon as you hear the name of this dance, you know it's not serious, but I am a serious person!"
"So, serious man, do you want to know what this unseemly thing is about?"
"Aren't you curious?" Wells opened the car door and invited Shi Zhijian to get in the car in full view of everyone.
"Of course! I'll show you around when I have time!"
"Isn't this good? I want you to pay?!"
"I won't pay, but the three of them will!" Shi Zhijian pointed to the Jesters outside and said, "They own this grand theater!"
"No wonder it's so improper!" Wells suddenly became serious, "I must call the Ministry of Culture and let them investigate thoroughly!"
"No need, you changed your attitude so quickly?" Shi Zhijian looked at Wells in surprise.
"Don't you know? Our British royal family and Jester's family have been enemies for hundreds of years?!" After Wells finished speaking, he ordered the driver: "Drive!"
…
The stretched Lincoln drove forward slowly.
Yan Xiong did not follow him, but deliberately stayed behind after Shi Zhijian gave him a look.
The three Earls Jester are still immersed in Shi Zhijian's previous words and cannot extricate themselves!
Is it worth spending 300 million to acquire 200 energy companies owned by Shi Zhijian?
This is too risky, it is simply gambling!
"Tsk tsk!"
Just when the three of them were in a daze, a discordant sound came to their ears, which woke them up. When they looked closely, it was Shi Zhijian's imperial follower Yan Xiong pouting at them and making a tsk-tsk sound.
Jester immediately became angry. After all, he was also an earl of the British Empire, and this follower from Hong Kong didn't understand the rules.
But before Jester could reprimand him, Yan Xiong took the lead and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being presumptuous! My behavior just now was definitely not intentional. I just saw the three of them looking so melancholy and couldn't help but want to speak out.
!”
"What do you mean?" Jester asked with a frown.
Not far away, a stray dog raised its legs and peed in the corner! A homeless man drove it away, then took over the territory and started peeing in the corner himself!
"Did you see that? That's what I want to say!" Yan Xiong pretended to be mysterious.
Jester and the other three looked at the stray dog and then at the homeless man: "You mean we are uncivilized in London? People and animals urinate everywhere?"
"No, I mean you have to grab a place to pee, let alone an opportunity like that from two hundred companies? To be honest, our boss has given you the opportunity, it just depends on whether you can seize it!"
"Three hundred million, this is also called an opportunity?"
"The three of you are overthinking. If our boss is willing to negotiate with Lawrence, the president of the London Chamber of Commerce, then the asking price will not be the current three hundred million, but five hundred million!" Yan Xiong vowed, "Besides, this is investment.
! The greater the risk, the greater the profit! Looking over a long period of time, if you win these two hundred companies, you can recover your capital in as little as three years, and you will make more money than you can count!"
Jester and the other three fell silent.
Although the three of them are London sluts and playboys, they are not fools. They can also calculate profits!
If 300 million pounds are exchanged for 200 energy companies, they all know whether they can get their money back in three years! As Yan Xiong said, everything is a matter of time!
"What's more -" Yan Xiong continued, "What's more, our boss has already allocated the human resources of those companies. They are all international cheap labor. This will greatly reduce your operating costs in the future! There are also two hundred companies.
With this in hand, you can gain pricing power and influence the prices of coal and natural gas. This is real power!"
The hearts of Jester and the others were slightly palpitating.
Yan Xiong observed the words and continued to confuse: "I heard that your family and the royal family of the British Empire have been enemies for hundreds of years. Just imagine, if you control two hundred energy companies, will the top of the British Empire treat you differently? The royal family of the British Empire will treat you differently?
Do I want to be polite to you? Since then, my career, face, and power have all been gained! I really kill three birds with one stone!"
Jester and the other three were excited, deeply moved by Yan Xiong's words.
yes!
They have been waiting for an opportunity!
Three hundred million,
buy such an opportunity,
Is it worth it?
…
The residence of the Duke of Windsor.
The huge garden castle is also one of the best among London's dignitaries.
"Hey, dear Shi, do you see it? This is my uncle's villa. Is it big? It is rare to see such a magnificent building in London. Except for Buckingham Palace, it is the most beautiful here!" His Highness Wells walked along the way.
It didn't stop and kept beeping at Shi Zhijian, making Shi Zhijian wonder if this guy had "polyglossia".
In fact, the reason why Wells is like this is related to the education he received since childhood.
As an orthodox member of the royal family, Wells has been taught to follow etiquette and laws since he was a child, and to maintain royal dignity in every word and deed.
Even when he is with his peers, he still has to put on airs, like an emotionless robot.
Not to mention communicating with peers.
"You talk so much, doesn't anyone say you're annoying?" Shi Zhijian frowned.
Wells shrugged: "You are the first to say this! You must know that during my time at Cambridge University, all my classmates gave me a wide berth——"
"Why? Because you are long-winded?"
"No, because I don't talk much! I always keep a straight face! Even the professor gets scared when he sees me!" Wells looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "So you should be honored, you are the first one to let me open up my heart.
of people! And you are still Chinese!”
"I am honored, Your Highness! But let me say something for my ears, can I refuse?"
"No! Damn it, I've never been so happy!"
"You swear?"
"Learned it from you!"
"Xianjia shovel (bastard)!" Shi Zhijian cursed in Cantonese.
"What do you mean?" Wells was surprised.
"If I praise you, I praise you for being so handsome!"
"Oh, you're awesome too! We're both awesome to each other!"
…
Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, was lying on the chair in the study, his legs still covered with a thick camel hair blanket. The pine wood in the wall-mounted stove was burning, releasing enough heat to make the whole room warm as spring.
As he expected, those in the British peak couldn't sit still after learning that Shi Zhijian controlled 300 British Empire energy companies!
Think about it, if it were spread that the energy market of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets was monopolized and controlled by a Chinese, what kind of joke would it become?
However, Her Majesty the Queen had already neglected Shi Zhijian during the award ceremony, and it was impossible for her to personally come to put out the fire.
So he, the former king of the British Empire who was once sent to the Bahamas, was remembered.
Shangfeng sent someone to visit him with gifts. They first asked him about his well-being, and then hoped that he could use his remaining energy to contribute to the country. This contribution was to take back those energy companies from Shi Zhijian. At the very least, he must ensure that the British Shangfeng took control of these energy companies.
Control of energy companies.
Edward did not refuse.
He knew that he had no reason to refuse, not to mention that this was also an opportunity for him to return to the public and to glory before he died!
I don’t want to continue to be unknown like this. When I die, I won’t get the respect of those people. I will only treat myself as a cynical libertine! The most important thing in history is that I love beauty but not the country!
Love beauty but not country! This sounds very romantic, but what happens after the romance? It turns out to be a mess!
His origin, his identity, and his status do not allow him to continue to remain unknown like this!
So he must seize this opportunity and do something to prove himself!
"Cough cough cough!" He coughed violently, and his chest and ribs ached.
The maid who came from the Bahamas immediately gave him the Indian recipe of turmeric mixed with whiskey.
Edward shook his head this time and refused: "It's impolite to drink before meeting guests. Please bring me a glass of ice water!"
The maid hesitated for a moment, then finally changed the folk remedy to ice water and handed it to Edward.
Edward took a sip of ice water, and the cold water irritated his throat! Gradually, his throat seemed to be frozen by the ice water, and the feeling of wanting to cough became much lighter.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Welles is here with guests!" Suddenly, the old butler entered the study and bowed to Edward to report.
"Let them in!" Edward ordered the butler.
After the housekeeper went out, Edward said to the maid: "Do you have the rouge you women use? My face is too pale and I need a little touch-up!"
…
"Hello, Lord Duke! I am Shi Zhijian from Hong Kong!"
After Shi Zhijian saluted, he looked up at the legendary old man, the Duke of Windsor, who was leaning on a chair and covered with a blanket.
The temperature in the study was very high, which made Shi Zhijian very uncomfortable.
In fact, since coming to the UK, Shi Zhijian has hated the climate here, which is humid and cold! It makes Shi Zhijian easily think of the description of London in British novels, which can be combined into one word: foggy city!
Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, has pale hair on his temples. Even when he is sitting on a chair, you can see that his stature is stooped, and his face is bloodless, even if he has just put on a little rouge.
His morbidity and cloudy eyes made Shi Zhijian feel that the man in front of him was more like the terrifying male protagonist Dr. Hyde in "Dr. Jekyll" - living alone in a castle, surrounded by candles swaying, and pine wood burning in the wall-mounted stove...
"Welcome, Mr. Shi!" Edward's feeble words interrupted Shi Zhijian's thoughts.
"It's my honor to meet you! Your Majesty the Duke!" Shi Zhijian was still very polite and paid respect to the Duke of Windsor again.
Edward was very satisfied with Shi Zhijian's attitude.
There were rumors in outside newspapers that this young Chinese was selfish, arrogant, and disrespectful to the British Empire! But in front of him, he was polite. At least in Edward's opinion, he was a commendable and promising young man.
"Mr. Shi, you have also seen that I look like this, and my body is even more unbearable, so there is no need to waste everyone's time. The main reason I invite you here this time is to discuss with you the acquisition of your energy company!" Edward VIII
Get straight to the point.
Shi Zhijian was not surprised at all, "His Royal Highness Wells has already told me about this, but I don't know how much the Duke wants to acquire?"
Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, did not speak, because at this time Wells blinked at him.
Edward smiled at Wells and said, "Don't make small moves in front of Mr. Shi. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Uh, this--" Edward hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over and said a few words to Edward, mainly about the acquisition he had seen Shi Zhijian and Jester talking about before.
"Two hundred companies, three hundred million?" After hearing this, Edward looked up directly at Shi Zhijian, "Did I hear that right?"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly and said firmly: "This is already the lowest price! I will not sell all 300 companies, but at most 200. The price of these two hundred companies is 300 million!"
Not to mention Edward, even the housekeepers and servants waiting next to him were all surprised. It felt like Shi Zhijian opened his mouth wide and dared to ask for it!
"Why?" Edward asked.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Just because this is Great Britain! Just because the laws here protect private property! And -"
Shi Zhijian pointed at Edward VIII: "Just because you are the Duke of Windsor, the former King of the British Empire! You have the qualifications to acquire my company for 300 million!"
