According to the previous agreement with Angelina, Shi Zhijian received a call from her that day, saying that he had convinced his father Rodney, but the other party needed Shi Zhijian to call personally to explain the situation.
Shi Zhijian contacted Rodney directly. Rodney's tone was still good. When he learned that Shi Zhijian wanted to meet the big guys of the Apostles' Association in order to raise investment funds from them, he was a little stunned.
Like his daughter Angelina, he initially thought that the reason why Shi Zhijian wanted to meet the big guys of the Apostolic Association was to apologize and build relationships, but he never expected that it was to do business with them.
This move is very accurate!
If those big guys agree to Shi Zhijian, they will be on the same front and they will no longer be enemies. At the same time, Shi Zhijian can get financial support to carry out his investment layout.
If those big guys don't agree, then Shi Zhijian has nothing to lose from the beginning to the end.
Rodney secretly scolded Shi Zhijian as a treacherous boy, and asked Shi Zhijian how much he wanted to raise this time.
Shi Zhijian: "One billion! Pounds!"
Rodney was almost scared to death!
He felt that Shi Zhijian was either crazy or a fool for wanting to raise 1 billion pounds from his enemies and opponents!
If you want to die, I won't stop you!
So Rodney promised to be Shi Zhijian's go-between and introduce Shi Zhijian to the Apostolic Society bosses on the list.
At nine o'clock that morning, Shi Zhijian arrived at Rodney's villa, but saw no one.
Angelina went to work at the TV station and was not at home. She asked the servants, but she didn't know anything.
Just when Shi Zhijian thought he was being tricked, a helicopter whizzed down from the sky and landed on the lawn of the villa. The strong wind brought by the propeller caused all the grass on the lawn to bend in one direction.
Soon, a black officer wearing camouflage uniform jumped out of the helicopter.
The black officer saw Shi Zhijian standing in the garage and was about to leave, and asked: "Hello, is this Mr. Shi Zhijian?"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "Yes, it's me!"
"My name is Simon. General Rodney asked me to come and pick him up!"
Shi Zhijian looked at Simon and then at the helicopter behind him: "Where to go?"
"You'll know when you get there!"
Shi Zhijian had no choice. He couldn't come here in vain and walked over to prepare to board the plane.
Black Simon said: "Mr. Shi, before you board the plane, I kindly suggest that you wear a camouflage suit like mine, or a hunting suit!"
Shi Zhijian looked at himself in a neat suit and said angrily: "Your general didn't tell me in advance, where do you want me to do it now?"
Simon shrugged: "If you don't mind, I just have a hunting suit here that I can give to you!"
"Bring it!"
"The general said you are a person who doesn't like to take advantage of others!"
"What's the meaning?"
Simon, the black man, rubbed his fingers and grinned, showing his white teeth: "It means I heard that you are very rich..."
Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes, feeling that General Rodney was an old bastard for letting his subordinates blackmail him.
In the end, Shi Zhijian paid a "high price" of two thousand pounds to buy a hunting suit.
Obviously, this hunting suit was specially prepared for him, and Shi Zhijian looked very fit when wearing it.
At this moment, Shi Zhijian was wearing long boots and a yellow-green hunting suit. He had a Nepalese military knife in his boots, a walkie-talkie and a rifle hanging on his waist, and he looked very energetic.
When the black officer Simon saw Shi Zhijian looking like this, he couldn't help but admire how stylish he was.
Shi Zhijian didn't care so much and followed Simon onto the helicopter. The helicopter then set off from the villa lawn, ascended all the way, then circled around the villa and flew towards the Pennine Mountains, the largest mountain range in the British Empire!
…
The Pennine Mountains, formerly translated as "Pennine Mountains", are the main mountain ranges and watersheds in northern England, from the South Tyne Valley in the north to the Trent Valley in the south. They are also a hunting resort for British people.
When the helicopter crashed down, it was almost four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Zhijian stayed in the helicopter for so long and was already physically and mentally exhausted.
When he jumped off the plane, he discovered that there were wooden villas all around him. From a distance, they looked luxurious.
When Simon, the black man, saw Shi Zhijian looking at the surrounding environment, he smiled and said: "These are the private properties of those big guys. After all, there are not many people who can build such a palace in the Pennine Mountains!"
Of course Shi Zhijian understood what he meant. For those powerful people, it is not difficult to build such a palace in the mountains and forests, even in the clouds.
"Hi, Simon! You're finally back! Damn it, General, they just shot a panther and wanted to peel off the whole leopard skin... You know that my knife skills are not good, and I will break it if I don't do it. I still need to
You come and hold the knife!" A white sergeant walked up to Simon with a distressed look on his face, handed Simon a cigarette and asked for help.
Simon did not answer immediately, but pointed to Shi Zhijian behind him and said: "This is Shi Zhijian, Mr. Shi!"
The white sergeant glanced at Shi Zhijian and didn't pay much attention. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Simon said: "Mr. Shi is a friend of the General and an earl of the British Empire!"
When the white sergeant heard this, his contemptuous expression immediately changed, and he saluted Shi Zhijian respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Shi! I am Staff Sergeant David!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "Hello, Sergeant David!" He reached out his hand.
David didn't expect Shi Zhijian to be so easy to talk to, so he shook hands with him excitedly. After all, being able to shake hands with an earl in the British Empire was a great honor.
"I'll take Mr. Shi to see the General first, and I'll help you later!" After Simon said this, he motioned to Shi Zhijian and led Shi Zhijian toward a villa.
Later, David was still telling Simon: "You must come later, I really can't handle that black panther!"
Simon said nothing, just made an OK gesture backwards.
In fact, the status of black people in Britain is very low, especially in the army. It is as low as the bottom. Many white people look down on these black people. Simon is the only one who is special.
Simon followed General Rodney very early. At first, General Rodney did not like to see this "nigger".
But Simon is cautious and meticulous in his work, his marksmanship is as good as his, and his swordsmanship is even more sharp. He once saved General Rodney's life in such a primitive forest and fought a brown bear with his bare hands!
In that fight, Simon just relied on his geographical advantage and his fearless momentum to kill the brown bear in one fell swoop!
Since then, "Bear Killer" Simon has become Rodney's confidant and a hero in the hearts of many people in the army.
His dark skin not only did not hinder him from being discriminated against, but instead became his unique symbol in the army.
After getting closer, Shi Zhijian discovered that most of these villas and palaces were built against the mountains. When he saw these, he felt like he was watching "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" from the previous life. Those books describe some impossible things in the primitive mountains.
With such a luxurious and luxurious palace.
At the villa's pavilion airport, there were fourteen or five helicopters parked at once. In addition to some green military helicopters, there were also some private planes with family crests painted on them.
Those badges are also all kinds of strange, including eagles, tigers and leopards, elk, cloud pictures and so on.
There were soldiers with guns guarding the entrance of the villa. When they saw Simon coming, they all saluted him respectfully.
Simon just nodded casually and led Shi Zhijian straight in, with no obstructions along the way.
Upon entering, I discovered how luxurious this villa is, like a large resort palace, with private cinema, indoor swimming pool, dance hall, bar, etc., everything you need.
As soon as Shi Zhijian entered the hall, he bumped into General Rodney and the others.
General Rodney was dressed in hunting clothes, chewing a cigar, and was full of energy!
Behind him were a dozen white men also wearing hunting uniforms, all of them with arrogant expressions and domineering postures.
Rodney was talking and laughing with them. He turned around and saw Shi Zhijian and laughed loudly: "Oh my God, what a coincidence! We just shot a panther, and now we are going to hunt some more elk. How about it, dear Shi?"
, would you like to try your marksmanship with us?"
The big white men behind Rodney all looked at Shi Zhijian with arrogant expressions and contempt on their lips.
Although Shi Zhijian is an earl, he is Chinese and so young, he is still too young for these powerful British dignitaries!
Especially in hunting, it is the best test of whether a person is a "man".
They, the white supremacists, looked down upon "embroidered pillows" like Shi Zhijian, who were good-looking but not powerful enough.
Who is Shi Zhijian?
As soon as I heard Rodney's words, I knew it was time for the test.
"Hunting? Although I'm not good at it, I'm also very interested. I can learn from you all!" Shi Zhijian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"That's good! Let's go, take our hounds!" Rodney did not introduce Shi Zhijian, because Shi Zhijian did not have the qualifications before the hunting was over.
"Woof woof woof!"
A dozen hound barkers were led out by a group of servants. They will accompany Rodney and others to hunt deep in the forest.
Everyone was shouting and cheering, with dogs rushing in front. As soon as they arrived at Ting Airport, they saw another helicopter landing from the sky.
Soon, a white man wearing hunting clothes like Shi Zhijian jumped out of the helicopter!
Rodney glanced at Shi Zhijian intentionally or unintentionally and said: "This is interesting, even our American friends are here!"
The white men behind him also looked at the visitor with interest, as if they already knew the other person's identity.
When the visitor approached, Shi Zhijian also recognized him. If it wasn't Warren Buffett, the American Wall Street tycoon and investment tycoon, who else could it be?
Buffett's sudden appearance made Shi Zhijian stunned for a moment, and he immediately became alert.
Buffett is very gentlemanly, and as a white man, he has a natural advantage. He seems closer to General Rodney and those white bosses.
"God, General Rodney, it's so hard to see you!" Buffett seemed very excited and stepped forward to hug Rodney.
"I didn't expect you to really come back, Mr. Buffett!" Rodney said, "It's been a hard journey!"
"It's not hard, I deserve it if I can come and meet all the big guys!" Buffett has a sweet mouth and is very good at talking.
The white bosses were also very satisfied with his attitude.
"We are going to go hunting together now. I wonder if you would like to join us?" Rodney was fair and did not introduce Buffett to the white bosses.
"Of course! When I was in the United States, people called me 'Little Cowboy'! I love hunting the most! God, I'm so looking forward to the next wonderful moment!" Buffett twisted his butt and shouted: "biubiu!"
He assumed a shooting posture with a gun, and everyone laughed knowingly.
…
"Woof woof woof!!!"
The hounds ran across the creek, sniffing the scent of elk and moving forward quickly.
General Rodney and the others followed closely behind with excited expressions, and the large hunting force was huge.
"Hi, meet me! My name is Warren Buffett!" Buffett deliberately lagged behind and extended his hand to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian had to admire him, he was an absolute "social cow". No wonder he was able to dominate Wall Street in his previous life and became the god of stocks worshiped by everyone.
"Shi Zhijian, from Hong Kong!"
"I know! When you come to Hong Kong, you are not only the boss behind Shinhwa Group, but also an earl and earl of the British Empire. How powerful!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "You are so awesome! You figured out my details so clearly!"
Buffett took out a cigar from his arms and bit his mouth: "No way, I never underestimate my competitors easily!"
"It just so happens that I am the same!" Shi Zhijian looked at Buffett with a smile and said: "Warren Buffett jumped into the stock market when he was 11 years old and bought his first stock.
In 1947, you entered the University of Pennsylvania to study finance and business management. However, you found the professors' short-selling theory unsatisfactory, so you transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln two years later and earned a bachelor's degree in economics within one year.
In 1950, you applied to Harvard University but were rejected. You were admitted to Columbia University Business School and studied under the famous investment theorist Benjamin Graham. You felt like a fish in water under Graham.
Graham opposed speculation and advocated evaluating stocks by analyzing a company's profitability, assets, future prospects and other factors. He imparted to you a wealth of financial knowledge and know-how.
In 1951, at the age of 21, you received a master's degree in economics from Columbia University. When you graduated, you received the highest A+..."
Buffett was still smiling while biting his cigar, with a proud look on his face, thinking that he had found out the details of Shi Zhijian, but the other party knew nothing about him, but now...
His smile was a little condensed.
Shi Zhijian continued: "In 1957, you established the non-binding Buffett Investment Club, with funds under management reaching US$300,000, but it rose to US$500,000 at the end of the year.
In 1962, your company's capital reached $7.2 million, of which $1 million belonged to you personally.
In 1964, your personal wealth reached $4 million, and by this time you were managing $22 million.
In 1967, you managed $65 million.
In 1968, your company's stock achieved its best performance in history: it increased by 46%, while the Dow Jones Index increased by only 9%. The funds under your control rose to $104 million, of which you personally
of $25 million.
In May 1968, when the stock market was booming, you informed your partners that you were retiring. Subsequently, you 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.
And now, you have seen the business opportunities after the crisis and are ready to make a comeback, so you come here to seek financial support like me, to be precise, to raise funds for your new company!"
Shi Zhijian took off Buffett's "underpants" in one breath!
