Chapter 1163 1161 [Crazy people have their own destiny!]
"Mr. Downey, do you have anything to say?"
"There's nothing to say!" Facing the reporter, Downey proudly sat down in the front row, leaning on a civilized stick, crossed his legs, reached into his arms, took out his gilt pocket watch, looked at it, raised his head and said, "This is damned.
When does the ceremony begin?”
"Don't worry, let's start right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in white sat down next to Donnie happily in full view of everyone!
Donnie looked sideways, if that person wasn't Shi Zhijian, who else could it be?
Donnie smiled, very happily, "Dear Shi, oh no, I should call you Peter Jian! I thought you wouldn't come!"
"How could I not come for such a big event today?" Shi Zhijian looked at Downey with a smile, "Besides, wouldn't you be very unhappy if I didn't come?"
"Hahaha, you're right! If I don't come here, I will be really unhappy!" Downey smiled wildly and said to the media: "Do you need me to introduce you to him? This is my old friend.
He is also the boss behind Shinhwa Group! Why don’t you hurry up and take pictures?”
Shi Zhijian's identity has always been mysterious, and many media did not know what he did specifically. Now when they heard Downey say this, they all became excited and raised their cameras to take pictures.
"Oh my god, so he is the mythical boss?"
"Oh my god, I finally see you!"
But before they could press the shutter, Yan Xiong and Axejun had already brought people forward: "I'm sorry, our Mr. Shi doesn't like taking pictures!"
"Please forgive me, I will give you gifts later!"
Downey looked at this scene and said to Shi Zhijian with a smile: "Why, you don't like taking pictures, or you don't like to reveal your identity, or are you afraid that it will be embarrassing if you wait for a while?"
Shi Zhijian shrugged and said: "It's embarrassing? Is it embarrassing? The matter has not reached the final moment, and it is not certain who will win and who will lose."
"Hahaha! You are so humorous, dear Shi!" Donnie laughed, "As you Chinese say, a cooked duck has a tough mouth!"
"We Chinese also have a saying: Don't look at you having fun now, but be careful about making a list in the future!"
Just when Shi Zhijian and Downey were tit for tat, the master of ceremonies presiding over the handover ceremony had already come on stage and announced that the ceremony had officially begun.
Downey was too lazy to argue with Shi Zhijian anymore. In his opinion, this event was a sure win. Even if Shi Zhijian was God, he would not be able to produce so many goods from the burned warehouse. He just waited to see how Shi Zhijian would attack the street!
Sure enough, during the handover on stage, Hong John, who represented Shinhwa Group, looked ashamed when facing the buyers Mohammed and Charlie.
Mohammed and Charlie asked knowingly, "What's wrong, dear Hong, it seems you have something to say-"
"Yes, that's true!" Hong John's expression was solemn.
Mohammed and Charlie exchanged a proud look, "If you have anything to say, just say it. No need to hesitate."
"Yes, we are all rule-abiding people. If anything goes wrong, we just need to follow the contract!" Charlie couldn't help but sneer in his tone.
Everyone around them also knew about the fire at Shinhwa's warehouse. They knew that Shinhwa could not deliver the goods this time and would be compensated for the deductible amount. They all had different expressions, waiting to see the good show.
"Ahem, since everyone said so, I have nothing to hide anymore. The specific thing is this--" John Hong adjusted his mood and said, "You all must also know that there was a fire in the warehouse in Central London last night--"
Mohammed and Charlie almost laughed out loud when they looked at each other's difficult expressions, "Yes, we do know about this. What's wrong?"
"This warehouse happens to be where our Shinhwa Group stores its electric vehicles."
"Wow, really?"
"Yes!"
"Doesn't that mean-" Mohammed and Charlie almost burst into laughter.
The expressions of those who followed them around showed sarcasm and ridicule.
The expressions of everyone in the Shinhwa Group became more solemn.
Next, Downey raised his civilized stick and pointed at the stage and said to Shi Zhijian: "Dear Shi, do you think this scene is funny?"
"It's really funny!" Shi Zhijian took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the well-dressed Downey. "It's extremely ridiculous to wear a hat while wearing a monkey!"
"Huh?" Downey glanced at Shi Zhijian fiercely and said to himself, Damn Chinaman, you won't be able to laugh in a while!
On the stage, Mohammed and Charlie were still asking John Hong: "Doesn't that mean that the electric cars you stored were burned by a fire last night?"
"Is the loss serious? We feel sad for you!"
Looking at the two people's hypocrisy, Hong John said: "The damage is indeed very serious. Almost tens of thousands of bicycles were burned down, not even the residue is left!"
"Really, this is too sad - uh, what? Bicycle?" Mohammed and others immediately reacted and looked at Hong John with wide eyes.
John Hong still looked worried: "Yes, it's just a bicycle, the kind that you ride on and pedal with your feet - there are tens of thousands of them, what a pity!"
"Ahem, cough, no, aren't you storing electric cars? How come they turned into bicycles?"
"Well, who told you that what we were storing were electric vehicles? Which eye did you see?"
John Hong asked questions repeatedly, leaving the other party speechless!
Mohammed looked at Charlie, and Charlie looked at him.
Others looked at the two of them again, feeling very funny, looking at two monkeys!
"What?" Donnie, the boss who was sitting below and waiting to watch the show, suddenly stood up and asked, "What's going on, a bicycle?" He looked surprised.
"Don't be impulsive, Mr. Downey! It hurts my heart to burn so many bicycles!" Shi Zhijian said from the side.
Donnie's face twitched and he turned to look at Shi Zhijian, "What the hell did you do?"
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"You——" Donnie raised his civilized stick, his teeth itching with hatred.
In the stands, Mohammed and Charlie finally woke up from their shock, pointed at John Hong and said, "You are deceiving us!"
John Hong was stunned: "Deceit? What do you mean? Why should I deceive you? What does it have to do with you what is in my warehouse? Why are you so unhappy when you hear that what is burned is a bicycle? Could it be that the fire was made by you-
——”
John Hong deliberately hesitated to speak.
Crackling!
The media with a keen sense of smell seemed to have caught something and took pictures of Mohammed and Charlie.
"Stop taking pictures! Stop taking pictures! That fire has nothing to do with us! Damn it, can't you understand human language? Stop taking pictures!"
Mohammed and Charlie both covered their eyes with their hands to prevent them from being flashed by the flashing spotlight.
Those who followed the two of them also took a step back in unison, keeping a distance from them to avoid being hurt.
"Now, let's complete the agreement. We will officially deliver the 300,000 units today!" Hong John said with a smile on his face.
"Stop filming, I told you to stop filming! God, get out of here!" Mohammed and Charlie had no intention of exchanging words, and faced the media in embarrassment.
Seeing the messy scene on the stage, Mr. Downey was so angry that he couldn't speak. He turned back and stared at Shi Zhijian: "Did you arrange all of this?"
"NO!NO!NO!" Shi Zhijian stood up speaking English and looked at the boss Downey: "I just followed your arrangement and changed the scenes, turning the tragedy into a comedy and the supporting role into the protagonist! How about it, you know
Do you like it or not?"
Downey was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he held it back and forced a smile on his face: "Shi Zhijian, do you think you can win against me like this? No matter how smart you are, it doesn't matter how smart you are, you only win the two unlucky guys on the stage, and I
It’s not damaged at all!”
"Really, it seems that Mr. Downey is really good at keeping to himself!" Shi Zhijian wiped the corners of his mouth habitually with his handkerchief, tell me, what should I do with you?"
Tangny showed an unruly expression and approached Shi Zhijian: "You know what I say, there is nothing you can do about me!" As if this stimulation was not enough, he continued: "In addition, I can tell you clearly that I had someone set off the fire in the warehouse.
Yes, whether on stage or the person who set the fire, he is my scapegoat! What, are you unhappy with me? Come on, bite me! Hahaha!"
Faced with Downey's provocation, Shi Zhijian lowered his head and seemed speechless. But slowly he raised his head with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Mr. Downey, have you finished speaking? If so, I think it's time to count you down."
It’s a settlement between me!”
"What's that? What do you and I have to do with each other?" Downey spread his hands and looked curious.
"Pa!" Shi Zhijian snapped his fingers at Yan Xiong, who was waiting behind him.
Yan Xiong stepped forward and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian handed it to Donnie without looking at it: "This is the deal!"
Downey: "Huh?" He was stunned for a moment. He had the impression that he and Shi Zhijian had never done any business at all.
"Are you kidding me? You can't afford to lose, can you?" Danny opened the pile of documents with a sneer on his face.
At first glance, the sarcastic expression on Downey's face disappeared and was replaced by shock!
A moment——
"How could this happen?" Donnie roared violently.
That pile of documents was the insurance agreement signed between Tang Financial Group and the Duke of Windsor!
At this moment, Downey saw clearly that the warehouse insured by the Duke of Windsor turned out to be Shi Zhijian's warehouse! The total insured amount was as high as 300 million pounds, and the compensation was ten times higher! In other words, now that the warehouse was burned down, Downey would have to pay thirty million pounds.
billion pounds!
Things are changing!
Downey was holding the insurance policy and his head was dizzy!
A dilapidated warehouse insured for 300 million?
And the one who burned down the warehouse was himself!
Shi Zhijian actually teamed up with the Duke of Windsor to deceive him!
God, what kind of world is this?!
"Mr. Downey, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Donnie was shaky, his men rushed forward to help him.
Tangni managed to stabilize his body and felt that the Shi Zhijian standing in front of him turned into two people, three people...
Downey grabbed the insurance policy and pointed it at Shi Zhijian's nose: "You...you're doing well!" With a loud thud, he threw the insurance policy out of his hand!
Wow!
Those papers are falling all over the sky!
The media reporters who were covering the big fight on the stage suddenly realized that something was going on here. When they turned around, they saw papers flying in the sky, and the back of Mr. Downey staggering away!
Behind Tangny, Shi Zhijian wiped his nose with a handkerchief and put it into his arms: "Get it done!"
…
"Damn it! Is there really nothing we can do?"
In Tang Financial Building, Donny Rothschild angrily threw his cigar in the face of the lawyer opposite.
The lawyer couldn't dodge and was hit by sparks from the cigar. He grimaced in pain.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Downey! According to the policy agreement, our side is indeed untenable!"
"What do you mean it's untenable? It's clearly that damn Chinese guy Shi Zhijian who's plotting against me behind my back!" Downey got angrier as he thought about it. He stood up with his hands on his hips and shouted angrily, "He knew I was going to burn down his warehouse, so he let that damn guy
The Duke of Windsor came to me to take out an insurance policy, and I paid him back RMB 300 million in insurance! It’s funny that I didn’t see their trick at the time, and I was too gullible in trusting that old ghost in Windsor!”
"Mr. Downey, the only solution for now is to delay or waffle..." the lawyer suggested, "As an insurance company, we have the responsibility to investigate the arson case, and we can use this to delay the matter."
"You want me to investigate myself?" Downey pointed at his nose, "I had people set off that fire. What if the investigation turns out to be true?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Downey. Our British Empire's legal procedures are based on the presumption of innocence. Only with sufficient personal and material evidence can we convict! As long as you are not involved in this matter from beginning to end, you will be fine."
Donnie frowned: "How long can this delay?"
"This..." the lawyer hesitated.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Originally, according to the current situation, it would be no problem to delay it for two or three years, but I just received news that the person in charge of Shi Zhijian's side is Barrister He Jiali."
"Legal heroine Hercule?" Downey frowned.
"Mr. Downey, have you heard of her too?"
Downey nodded: "I know, this woman is very troublesome! When our financial company had trouble before, she was the one who defended the other party."
"So Mr. Downey, you should understand that if Shinhwa asks her to represent her as a lawyer, we will be very passive - even if it delays, it will only take two or three months at most."
Downey walked up to the lawyer and stared at him: "Then tell me, what should I do now? I spent so much money to invite you here, not to listen to you talk about some useless results!"
The lawyer was sweating profusely as he was stared at by Downey. He quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead: "Well...the person who untied the bell has to tie the bell. Maybe Mr. Downey, you can do something..."
"What's the meaning?"
"This insurance contract is signed between you, Mr. Downey, and Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor. If we can get understanding from the Duke of Windsor, or open a gap, all difficulties will be solved!"
Downey understood and immediately called to the female secretary: "Get me a car, I'm going to Windsor Castle!"
…
"call!"
The weather in London in July is the most comfortable, with temperatures of around ten degrees neither cold nor hot.
But even so, Windsor Castle still looks very dark and damp, moss spreads around the corners of the castle, and clumsy beetles climb on the green oak trees.
The castle gate creaked open, and Donny Rothschild entered the castle in a car.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Downey got out of the car wearing a top hat and holding a civilized stick, and said to the old butler who greeted him: "I'm looking for the Duke."
"The Duke is waiting for you inside the castle, please--!" The Duke of Windsor seemed to have guessed that Downey would come in person, and sent his old butler to wait here to help guide the way.
