Almost all the big names on that list were heavyweights in the mysterious organization "The Apostles" of the British Empire.
They are also the right-hand men that Donny Rothschild must rely on.
These people hold high positions in the British political arena. They are either members of the Legislative Council, members of Parliament, or chairman of political parties. Every one of them is very popular and stamps their feet, making all the British Isles tremble.
"Now you know why I asked your father for help? Although I am an Earl of the British Empire, I am Chinese after all, and there will be a gap with the apostles... Originally, I could also use the identity and status of the Duke of Windsor to contact them.
But now that the Duke of Windsor has passed away, I can only rely on your father!"
General Rodney was well-known in the military circles of the British Empire. He once participated in suppressing the Scottish independence uprising, and also participated in the war in the Indian colonies when he was young, with outstanding achievements.
Although the British Empire has always flaunted the independence of the three powers and the separation of military and political affairs, in fact the political and military circles are closely connected. In order to gain support from the military, many powerful MPs often go to the military more often than their mother-in-law's house during the election campaign!
Taking this opportunity, Rodney established deep friendships with a large number of British bosses.
Although Shi Zhijian currently has a prominent status and is considered rich and powerful in the UK, his interpersonal relationships are very weak.
The only ones who can use it are the deceased Duke of Windsor, the current His Royal Highness Wales, and Jester and others known as the "Three Musketeers of England".
All in all, although these people have great reputations, their influence in British politics and other aspects is very poor. To put it bluntly, they have no real power!
In contrast, Shi Zhijian's old rival Donny Rothschild relied on the Apostles to win over a large group of powerful people.
The people on the list that Shi Zhijian gave to Angelina are all the top political figures in the British Empire at the moment, and they can influence many things.
Shi Zhijian thought very clearly that if he wanted to continue to be enemies with Downey, he had to disintegrate the Apostles' group, and it was best to win them over!
This world is actually very simple. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests!
Now Shi Zhijian has the golden finger of the first oil crisis. He has the ability to double his wealth in a short period of time. This is his "chip" to win over those members of the Apostles!
At the same time as wooing these people, Shi Zhijian was able to raise enough funds to become a banker, killing two birds with one stone.
Angelina is not Shi Zhijian's belly worm, who would have thought that Shi Zhijian would have so many schemes.
She simply thought that Shi Zhijian used his father to meet with these Apostolic Society bosses in order to ease the relationship.
Think about it too.
So what if Shi Zhijian is more powerful?
After all, he is just a Chinese. If the Apostles use all their strength, they can definitely crush him and grind him to pieces!
Rather than being crushed by others, it is better to take the initiative to show kindness.
"I can help you with this!" Angelina said, "But what's in it for me?"
"Benefits? What benefits do you want?" Shi Zhijian once again showed his true nature as a scumbag, looking at Angelina with a look in his eyes, but his hands were already tightly holding Angelina's weak and boneless hands.
According to the secrets of a scumbag, when picking up a girl, you only need to stare into her eyes for three seconds and make contact with her skin at the same time. If the other party does not object, it means that she does not hate you and can win you smoothly.
This trick was indeed effective. Angelina was confused and fascinated by Shi Zhijian's tender gaze. At this moment, she suddenly said "Hey", got rid of Shi Zhijian's hand, pointed not far away in front and said: "That's not a big deal."
Lawyer Hercule?"
Shi Zhijian looked in the direction Angelina pointed, and saw Hejia Li getting out of a Mercedes-Benz not far from the parking lot.
The person who came down first was a white man, about forty years old, handsome in appearance, with a charming mature manly look, and very gentlemanly. After getting off the car, he opened the door for Hejiali immediately.
"I know that man, he is a financial genius from the United States!"
"A talented man?"
"Yes, he is known as the Wall Street investment genius! He specializes in helping people invest and manage money, and can even double it in a year! It is said that he came from the famous investment theorist Benjamin Graham! And he is better than the master! Now in
Wall Street controls hundreds of millions of investment funds!”
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and looked at the white man again, feeling that he looked familiar.
"What's his name?"
"I did an exclusive interview with him after he came to the UK! His name is Warren Buffett!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, it was indeed this old fox!
In his previous life, he was revered as the "Stock God" and the pioneer of "value investors"! Many Chinese financial practitioners worshiped him as their ancestor, but in Shi Zhijian's eyes, he was just an old fox who seized the opportunities of the times.
!
Angelina saw the half-smiling expression on Shi Zhijian's face and couldn't help but said, "What, do you know him?"
"Well, that's right!" Shi Zhijian's answer was ambiguous. "I'm curious, since he is a financial tycoon on Wall Street, why did he come to the UK?"
"I heard that the U.S. economy has not been doing very well in recent years, so he came to the UK to attract investment and sponsorship!"
"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, looking at Buffett not far away and touching his chin.
In his last life, Warren Buffett could be regarded as a financial genius. He showed his talents soon after joining the stock market. The funds under his control increased from US$500,000 to US$65 million in ten years from 1957 to 1967.
In May 1968, when the stock market was booming, Buffett informed his partners that he was retiring. Subsequently, he gradually liquidated almost all the stocks of Buffett Partners.
In June 1969, the stock market plummeted, gradually turning into a stock market crash. By May 1970, every stock had dropped by 50% or more compared with the beginning of the previous year.
From 1970 to 1972, the U.S. stock market was like a deflated rubber ball without any vitality. Continued inflation and low growth caused the U.S. economy to enter a period of "stagflation." Buffett, who was once disappointed, was secretly delighted.
Because he saw money coming in - he found too many cheap stocks.
What Buffett has to do at this time is to raise enough funds to take a big gamble!
Buffett knew that places like Wall Street were too sensitive, and the slightest disturbance would alert his competitors to his intentions, so he came to the UK for a vacation on an excuse, but secretly made connections in order to raise funds to return to the United States for a big fight.
"It seems that Mr. Buffett is quite a gentleman. Look how happy Miss Hercari is smiling next to him!"
After hearing what Angelina said, Shi Zhijian turned his attention from Buffett to Hejia Li.
Sure enough, after getting out of the car, Hercari walked side by side with Buffett, whispering in an intimate manner.
For some reason, Shi Zhijian felt jealousy in his heart, but it quickly disappeared. After all, He Jiali was just a female lawyer he hired, and she was not anyone else, so why should he care too much.
At this moment, Hejia Li also saw Shi Zhijian with Angelina, but pretended not to see him and continued talking and laughing with Buffett.
It's almost December now, and the weather in London is a bit cold. Buffett, who is very gentleman, even took off his coat and put it on Hercari's shoulders.
Hercari had a bright smile and looked very happy.
Angelina asked Shi Zhijian: "Looking at your eyes... do you also like her?"
Shi Zhijian gathered his attention and focused all his energy on this beautiful woman and said with a smile: "How could it be? She is just my lawyer! I only have a working relationship with her!"
"Really?" Angelina shrugged, "She is very famous. She is known as the queen in the legal world, and she is also a famous iceberg beauty!"
Shi Zhijian changed the topic and said: "Let's talk about one thing - when will you help me get it done?"
"What do you hope?"
"Of course the sooner the better!"
"Then it's the weekend! I'll try my best to help you!"
"Good work!"
"Are you so polite to me?" Angelina's pink face showed a strange look.
"Anyway, thank you very much! I still have something to do and I need to take a step first!"
Seeing that Shi Zhijian was about to leave, Angelina glanced at him quietly and said softly: "What about tonight? Do you have a date?"
"Not tonight, something happened!"
"Okay then, slow down on the road!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, opened the door and got in the car.
He left under Angelina's resentful eyes.
…
Shi Zhijian returned to the company and convened another meeting to discuss various patent application issues for electric vehicles.
By the time the meeting ended, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Zhijian returned to the office from the conference room. At this time, Han Siqi knocked on the door and came in, saying that barrister He Jiali was here.
Shinhwa Group's various patent projects are now being handed over to He Jiali's law firm. During the meeting just now, Shi Zhijian reiterated the importance of the patent projects. After the meeting, they immediately contacted He Jiali and asked her to come over and take over.
these jobs.
Shi Zhijian was taking a pen to correct the documents when He Jiali came in and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Shi, I have sorted out all the patent projects that should be applied for. Please take a look!"
"Just put it here!" Shi Zhijian said casually without raising his head.
He Jiali came over and put the information on Shi Zhijian's desk, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stared at Shi Zhijian with a tight pretty face and said, "You really don't want to take a look?"
Shi Zhijian then raised his head and looked at her, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you don't want to see the information, or do you don't want to see me?" Hercari's tone sounded like she was fed by gunpowder.
Shi Zhijian put the pen down and said, "I still don't understand what you mean."
"Ha, you have a new girlfriend, so now you don't even want to look at me?"
It's okay if Hejia Li didn't say that. Shi Zhijian was angry when he heard this and said, "Do you have me in your eyes? When you see me, you don't even say hello, you just kiss me with that American!"
Hejia Li said: "I was talking about work! He came from the United States and needed to find a legal consultant, and I was just the right person! Why, do I have to be with you all the time and can't take over other jobs, so you support me?"
"Okay, I'll support you!" Shi Zhijian stood up and glared at Hejia Li, "How much do you want? One million, ten million, or one hundred million?"
Hejia Li was also angry: "Do you think everything can be bought with money? You are too selfish!"
Shi Zhijian said coldly: "It's not that I'm selfish, it's that you are stupid! You can trust Americans, sows can climb trees! Be careful that the American Wall Street tycoon deceived you and asked you to help count the money!"
"Why are you talking about me? And you, aren't you also confused by women? Who is that woman? Oh, by the way, her name is Angelina, right? She seems to be a famous reporter from ITV! Mr. Shi, you are so sharp, even like this
All beauties can be pursued! But what should I do? She seems to be playing with you! I remember that she has declared to the public that she is a non-marriage person!"
Shi Zhijian was not surprised, "Even if it is, so what?"
Hejia Li calmly said: "What? It would be fine if she were an ordinary person, but she is a famous TV reporter, and her father is a general of the British Empire. If a scandal spreads about such a woman, do you think this will happen?"
Shi Zhijian remained silent, because He Jiali was right. Angelina made that excuse in the first place just to reject those crazy bees and butterflies, and those people stopped because they knew she was a non-marriage activist. No one would do it again.
pester her.
If the news of their relationship spreads now, Angelina will definitely become the target of public criticism.
After all, a woman has declared that she is a non-marriage person to reject those male suitors, and now she is suddenly hooking up with men. How to explain it?!
Hercari pressed forward step by step: "Do you understand the seriousness of the consequences now? Just like Joan of Arc in France, everyone thought she was very pure, but now she is fooling around with men. That kind of result...
Even if the punishment is to be burned at the stake, it will be a light punishment!"
Shi Zhijian said angrily: "So what? Who am I, and what qualifications do you have to meddle in my business?"
Hejia Li said proudly: "I am your lawyer, and you are my client! Every move you make represents the image of Shinhwa Group. As your group's legal advisor, I have the necessity and qualification to remind you what to do!"
Shi Zhijian was speechless, staring at Hejia Li with his starry eyes: "To be honest, are you jealous?"
"Why should I be jealous?"
"Because you like me!"
"I like you, damn you!" Hercari's eyes dodge, "Do you have the qualifications to make me like you? The person I like should at least be a great hero, capable of conquering England, are you worthy?"
Shi Zhijian suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, you are jealous!"
"I told you, I didn't!" Hejia Li was so angry that she stamped her feet, but her eyes betrayed her.
Shi Zhijian grabbed her hand, and Hejiali tried to struggle but failed to break away.
"You just said that the person who is worthy of you must be a great hero, and he must be a master of England, right?"
"So what?" Although Hejia Li's tone was fierce, her voice was a little trembling.
"If I become that kind of person, will you be my woman?"
"Uh, what?" Hercari's pretty face lit up.
Shi Zhijian suddenly pulled He Jiali in front of him and hugged her slim waist: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? If one day I not only dominate England, but also Germany, France, and the whole of Europe, what will you do?
?”
"What...what about me?" Hejiali's eyes dodge in panic. The famous female lawyer looks like a little white rabbit at this moment!
"Let's make a bet -" Shi Zhijian stared at her: "If that day comes, you will be my woman!"
