In the western suburbs of London, inside an old castle.
Donny Rothschild stood proudly by the window, holding a glass of martini in his hand, looking at the white fog filling the air outside.
Kneeling behind him was a woman with blond hair draped over her smooth white shoulders. She crawled to Donnie's feet in a dog-like posture and nestled her cheek against Donnie's leg, looking loyal.
There was a collar around her neck, and the long leash was in Donnie's other hand.
"Damn it, 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 it, you
Shameless woman!"
The blonde raised her head and looked at Donnie with an expression pleading for mercy.
If anyone were here at this moment, they would definitely be shocked. The blonde in front of them is the famous female star in Hollywood who is known as the "sweetheart of the film industry"!
But such a dazzling female star under the beautiful light is now like a slave under the feet of Donny Rothschild!
The servants below the castle all pricked up their ears, trying to listen carefully to the sound of whipping, curses, and howls coming from upstairs. Unfortunately, they heard nothing tonight.
This kind of quietness makes them a little uncomfortable. According to common sense, every time Mr. Downey stays in this castle and calls Miss Sweetheart over, there will be a sad game, but tonight it seems a bit too quiet.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
The castle doorbell rang.
The housekeeper asked the servant to open the door quickly to see if the person Donnie wanted to wait for came.
Soon, guests were invited in, one was the Arab prince Mohammed, and the other was the French Sir Charles.
"Please wait a moment, both of you. I'm going to report it to Mr. Downey!" the old butler said, bowing to the two of them politely.
Looking at the well-handled old butler and the surrounding environment that exuded the atmosphere of the castle, Mohammed and Charlie glanced at each other unnaturally. This scene made them invariably think of the kind of vampire movie, with a huge black
The castle, and the vampire Count Dracula...
Before the two of them could scare themselves, they heard footsteps coming from upstairs. They looked up and saw Donny Rothschild overlooking the two of them on the stairs on the second floor.
"Dear Mr. Downey, hello!"
"Sorry for bothering you so late!"
Mohammed and Charlie bowed to Donnie very respectfully.
Donnie nodded and said to the butler: "Take out my treasured red wine, I want to share it with my distinguished guests!"
"Yes, sir!" The butler bowed and left, going to the private wine cellar to get wine.
Here Donnie came down from upstairs and invited Mohammed and Charlie to sit down in the living room.
Downey was wearing a nightgown, lying comfortably on the sofa. He casually took out a cigar from the coffee table and threw it to the two of them: "Try it, it's a private order."
The Arab princes Mohammed and Charles were both of noble birth. It was not that they had not seen the world, but when they took the cigars and compared them carefully, they found that they were indeed different from what they usually smoked.
Donnie looked at the surprised expressions of the two people, chewed his cigar and smiled slightly: "What do you want to do to come to see me so late?"
"We are here to collect the certificates of voting! Oh no, we are here to report the situation to Mr. Downey!"
Downey took out a cigar match and lit the cigar, shook out the match and threw it in the golden ashtray. He raised his head and puffed out a puff of smoke: "Whether it's a letter of nomination or a report, tell me carefully -"
Seeing the extremely arrogant Donny Rothschild, Mohammed and Charlie had different feelings in their hearts.
For this Middle Eastern prince, they have no shortage of money. The reason why he keeps trying to fawn over Downey and wants to join the Apostles is so that the Apostles can help start their country's arms business.
For a small Arab country that is full of oil, the surrounding jackals and tigers have long been eyeing a small chassis like theirs. Without strong armaments, it cannot guarantee its own security. For this reason, Mohammed had to come
Europe, came to the UK to seek asylum from these real bosses.
What he came here to seek was not wealth, but safety!
Compared to Mohammed, Charles from France seeks wealth!
As a descendant of France's declining aristocracy, Charlie used to rely on some capital in his family to spend extravagantly and extravagantly. Soon the huge family fortune was running out, and then Charlie suddenly realized that no matter how much money he had, he could spend it all, so he hurriedly left
France rushed to England, hoping to join this mysterious "Apostolic Society" organization and help him make a comeback.
Mohammed and Charlie had their own thoughts, but they had the same goal, and they would not hesitate to join the Apostles.
The old butler brought the collection of red wine, and Donnie asked the butler to pour a glass for each person. Then he looked at Mohammed and Charlie again with a proud attitude, looking at them like a superior waiting for a subordinate to report the situation.
"The thing is like this, Mr. Downey." Mohammed said, "We took the initiative to contact the Chinese businessman Shi Zhijian, and..."
Mohammed told in detail the plan he and Charlie devised to trap Shi Zhijian.
Downey smoked a cigar and drank red wine and listened with gusto.
A moment——
"In other words, you used that damn Shi Zhijian's method and signed a ten-fold compensation agreement with him? If he cannot provide you with 300,000 electric vehicles on time within three months, then it will be a breach of contract and you need to compensate you 300,000 electric vehicles on time.
100 million pounds! On the contrary, if he can complete it on time, then the contract of 300,000 units with a total value of 900 million pounds will make him earn 500 million pounds. Am I right to understand this?"
"You are very wise, Mr. Downey!"
"Don't you think this is stupid? This is the idea he came up with, and he defeated that unlucky Lawrence with this idea. How could he, such a shrewd person, agree to your suggestion and sign a contract with you?
Contract?" Donnie felt that the two of them were really idiots, so he picked up the red wine and took a sip.
Mohammed and Charlie looked at each other, "We had the same idea as you at first, but...he agreed!"
"Ahem, what?" Downey almost choked on the red wine and looked at the two of them with wide eyes, "What did you say? He agreed?"
"Yes, we were also surprised by his decision at the time, but he did agree. And -"
"And what?"
"And he also exposed the reason why we did this in person, saying that our purpose was to please you!"
Donnie was startled for a moment, then suddenly put down his wine glass, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and laughed loudly: "Interesting! It's really interesting!" Suddenly his eyes sharpened, he stared at the two of them fiercely and said: "Now, he wants you to
Come and declare war on me?"
Mohammed and Charlie were startled, and hurriedly waved their hands: "No, no! How could we have the courage? It's just that we are uneasy now, and we don't know what conspiracy the surnamed Shi is following. We are not sure.
I came here to discuss the idea with you!"
Downey looked at the trembling expressions of the two men and smiled: "What tricks can he have? Since he knew that you were trying to collect names, invited him to put him in the urn, and deliberately got in, what do you think he wanted to do?" Suddenly
He slapped the table, red wine splashed, and said angrily: "Aren't you looking down on me and declaring war on me? Let me use your words to tell me that he is not afraid of me, even if I use any means, he will not be afraid!"
Seeing Downey suddenly become furious, Mohammed and Charlie shivered in fright. After Downey calmed down a little, they had the courage to ask: "So, can we refuse to sign a contract with him to avoid being plotted by him?
"
"Haha, if you think like this, aren't you just falling into his trap?" Downey seemed to have read through Shi Zhijian's mind, "He is playing psychological warfare with you - he is betting that if he sees through your tricks and tells you, you will stay away and take the initiative to retreat.
! Then he will win this game effortlessly! And you will only become the laughing stock, and I, who was pulled out by you as your backer, will also become a joke!"
Mohammed and Charlie looked at each other the same way and thought, this is indeed the truth. Ever since Shi Zhijian exposed their trick, they have been in a different state of mind. They always feel that everything has been seen through and calculated by others, and they lack a sense of security. It turns out that the other party is working with them.
They are engaging in psychological warfare, no wonder!
"So what do we do now?"
"How to do it? Of course, sign a contract with him!" A sinister smile appeared on Downey's face, "There is no factory, no workers, no help for him - I want to see how he can sell 300,000 electric cars in three months.
Make it! How can I supply it to you?"
At this moment, Donny Rothschild seemed to have seen through everything about Shi Zhijian and sneered at his tricks!
Mohammed and Charlie finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they had found their backbone. Mr. Downey was indeed extraordinary!
After a few brief chats, Mohammed and Charlie did not dare to stay any longer, so they excused themselves as time ran out and wanted to go back first.
Donnie refused to persuade him to stay, so he motioned to the old butler to see the guest off.
After the old butler sent the two of them away, Downey drank red wine alone for a while. The happiness mixed with the wine made him feel better again, so he stood up and shouted upstairs: "My slave, I
Slave, my dear pug! Oh God, put the leash on and wait for me!"
…
As Shi Zhijian's barrister, the beautiful lawyer Jiali He was shocked when she learned that Shi Zhijian had entrusted her with a large business contract involving billions of dollars.
At this time, Hercari had become independent from the Royal Solicitors of the British Empire and opened a new law firm with the funding provided by Shi Zhijian.
Now the legal team has just been established, and the entire firm has recruited four barristers, including Hercari, a total of five people. A team of five like them is simply not qualified to take on a case worth billions of pounds.
Shi Zhijian could have found a more trustworthy law firm to do it, but Shi Zhijian chose He Jiali. According to what he said, I also have a shareholding in this firm. Of course, it is not possible for such a big case to be handled by outsiders.
Cheap outsiders!
Of course, Hejia Li had doubts about such an answer. She even wondered whether Shi Zhijian was deliberately showing favor to her and having evil intentions - after all, she was so outstanding and beautiful.
But Shi Zhijian's next behavior directly broke Miss Hercari's self-beautification. Shi Zhijian actually wanted to "take a commission" from this cooperation!
"I introduced the case, and I am a shareholder of the law firm. Taking a commission is nothing, right?"
I have never seen such a fussy person! He actually takes commissions from his own company?!
Hercari was speechless.
But for Shi Zhijian, this is not a fuss. According to British law, if a contract involving three billion pounds is completed like Hajia's, he can earn at least three hundred thousand pounds. If he doesn't take out one hundred and eighty thousand, it will be simply
Sorry to myself!
On the day the contract was signed, old friend John Hong attended the signing ceremony on behalf of Shi Zhijian.
Hong John was also shocked when he saw the content of the contract. He suspected that Shi Zhijian was treating himself as a scapegoat by allowing him to attend the signing ceremony. Of course, this was just a joke.
Out of trust in Shi Zhijian, John Hong readily met with Mohammed and Charlie.
Here, the two also formed a huge team of lawyers, with the purpose of preventing Shi Zhijian from defaulting on his debts. Coincidentally, this team of lawyers happened to be the team of royal barristers that He Jiali had worked for before.
You don't have to be rich to invite this team of lawyers. The reason why they are willing to help Mohammed and Charlie this time is because of the big boss Donny Rothschild.
It was the first time that Hercari faced off against the big law firm she once worked for, so her mood was inevitably complicated, and the people at the law firm had strange expressions when they saw her.
As we all know, Hercari was once the ace of this law firm, and many people worked under her. Now they have become "enemies". It can only be said that fate plays a trick on people.
However, as a lawyer, you need to keep in mind that lawyers are emotionless animals, and all their actions are to serve their employers.
The same goes for Hercari, and the same goes for the Crown Counsel over there.
After the two parties met, they started to argue over the contents of the contract, both wanting to gain benefits and advantages for the employer in the contract.
Professionals versus professionals, elites versus elites!
This battle lasted for more than three hours. Even Hong John, Mohammed, Charlie and others were impatient, and then the first agreement was made.
Of course, there is a second and third time!
It took three days to sign a contract before it was all completed.
Since then, Shinhwa Electronics has formally reached an agreement with two wealthy 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 ten times, which is 3 billion pounds!
Afterwards, Donny Rothschild deliberately released the news, and for a while this huge multi-billion pound super contract detonated the entire British business community!
Not only did it alarm the British business community, but it also alarmed the British Prime Minister and the Queen of England!
Everyone is waiting to see how Shinhwa Electronics completes this impossible contract!
You know, in such a short period of time, even if the entire UK takes action, it is impossible to complete it with the strength of one country!
