Chapter 209 Money, Hatred, Handle, Reward

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

Then I saw that although Charles didn't lower his head, he didn't dare to look at Philip. He led the old Aston and seven people through the door and entered.

The seven people lined up in two rows and respectfully saluted Philip who was standing by the desk.

As for how much sincerity there is, God only knows.

Since old Aston can be called a lord, it means that he is at least a nobleman above a baron and below a duke.

Nobles with such titles are generally loyal to the royal family and the aristocratic system if they have not experienced unfair treatment.

As for the old Aston, who was already in his 80s, when he was born, the English aristocracy had not completely declined, allowing him to experience the glory of the aristocracy.

When inheriting the title of the family, it is an extremely difficult battle for the noble group.

One elder brother and one younger brother died, and the old Aston himself went to the battlefield. If he wants to support the Aston family and restore the glory of the family, it must be difficult for him to rely on himself.

And since he was in the diamond business, he must have done a lot of disgraceful things, so Philip easily took over the negotiation with the old Aston.

After politely greeting Philip respectfully, Old Aston confronted Li Changheng, who was standing beside Philip, and Li Changheng, who was two meters away, questioned him.

"Henry, now that we have come to an agreement, in the presence of the holy King of England, tell us where the diamond is.

Of course, once we confirm the authenticity of the diamond and promise you the reward, we will pay you immediately. "

Li Changheng shrugged, "I have already found the motive, method, and clues of the diamond theft, and I just need to find out where the diamond is hidden.

But Mr. Hobbs, the most suspected, had already committed suicide once in order to protect his accomplice.

In this case, I can't push too hard.

Otherwise, if the diamond is not found, he will be charged with death by torture. "

"this,"

The shareholders and directors of the diamond group present couldn't immediately hint in front of Philip that diamonds were important and human life was worthless.

As far as Li Changheng is concerned, it is impossible for him to really tell about the two tons of diamonds before the Sinclair Insurance Company pays the 100 million pounds to the Diamond Group, and the Diamond Group puts the money into Hobbs' account. .

And this matter can't be dragged on for long, after all, diamonds are hidden in the sewage treatment pool, and it is not foolproof.

Fortunately, Hobbs himself knew this, and only gave the Diamond Group 48 hours, just to force them to have no time to think too much.

In addition, Sinclair Barkley told the media about the theft of the diamond, forcing the diamond group to spend a lot of energy and network to appease and stabilize customers.

To deal with the reporter, you have to find evidence to prepare to force the Royal Insurance Institute, and find official connections, and approve the Insurance Association to force Sinclair Insurance Company to pay 100 million pounds of insurance money.

But Li Changheng, a ostensible helper, also had bad intentions secretly, and he deliberately delayed taking over the investigation task.

With a three-pronged approach, the Diamond Group has no spare time to search for diamonds on a large scale in such a short period of time.

Seeing that Li Changheng did not dare to take the risk of interrogating the suspected Hobbs, Old Aston asked with a frown, "Then why did you ask us here?"

Li Changheng couldn't help looking at Philip.

Philip knocked on the desk with his hand, "Lord Aston, can we talk in private?"

Old Aston thought for a while before nodding, and then Li Changheng and Charles left the study with the other 6 shareholders.

I don't know what Philip and Aston said. Half an hour later, Li Changheng, who was dealing with the chattering brothers Charles and Andrew, was silent.

Seeing the study door open, he stood up immediately.

I saw the old Aston and six shareholders with a smile on his face but displeasure and worry in his eyes.

The seven people muttered together in a corner of the living room for more than an hour, and finally decided to agree or disagree with Philip's proposal by voting.

It's done.

Seeing the helpless expressions of the seven diamond group shareholders, Li Changheng knew that they had agreed, and it was a unanimous agreement.

At the same time, he was convinced in his heart that Philip had 100% the Diamond Group or the shareholders present in his hands early on.

Otherwise, just money may not necessarily make these antiques compromise.

In an instant, Li Changheng felt that putting Philip up was definitely the wisest decision.

After becoming a shareholder of the Diamond Group, 5% of this company with a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars in the future will be 15 billion US dollars.

After receiving affirmative answers from seven shareholders, Philip smiled and said to Li Changheng, "Henry, let's talk."

After entering the study and closing the door, Li Changheng just sat down when Philip threw a newspaper in front of him.

"The London Evening News has reported the diamond group and the diamond theft.

Oliver Aston, who didn't follow, took the evidence at 8 o'clock tonight and went to the Royal Insurance Institute to ask them to explain this matter.

During my negotiations with Lord Aston, when I mentioned his grievances with Sinclair.

He himself made the condition of destroying Sinclair Insurance Company, and asked me to cooperate with him to make Sinclair Insurance Company pay 100 million pounds.

So, when the conversation was almost over, I had already called the Royal Insurance Institute, and when the bank opened tomorrow morning, the money would be transferred to the designated account of the Diamond Group. "

After finishing speaking, Philip sighed with emotion, "Hatred and wealth are always the greatest motivation for human beings to do anything.

The terms I negotiated with Aston are that you pay £35 million to their seven shareholders."

"We will talk about the contract tomorrow, and the money will be transferred as soon as the contract is signed in a few days."

After Li Changheng finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked at Philip.

Philip nodded with a sigh, "The 35 million pounds is for the 7 shareholders, not the Diamond Group.

When a crisis is in sight, it is easy for people to make plans for themselves.

So this 35 million pounds, you have to transfer to the accounts of 7 of them in UBS.

And the 5% shares they give must be after you actually find those two tons of diamonds.

When it is announced to the public, it will deliberately inflate the real value of the diamond with a valuation of 500 million pounds, and artificially expand your achievements.

Then, based on the 5% legal reward for recovering the lost property, you will be rewarded with 5% of the group's shares as a reward for saving the entire group.

The most important thing is that secretly, there will be rumors that you forced the Diamond Group to sign a 5% share contract before recovering the diamond.

The media that likes to think about conspiracy theories will definitely report the latter point as the real reason.

In this way, it is reasonable for you to get shares.

However, these shares are not allowed to be traded in the next ten years, and the voting rights you want can only be decided by the board of directors after you make greater contributions to the diamond group in the future. "

Li Changheng frowned, "That is to say, I spent 60 million pounds and only made a pure investment?"

"Think long term, Henry."

Philip persuaded, "You will only be 19 in two months, and Lord Aston will be 81. Regardless of time or ability to make money, you are on the side of the winner.

As for Oliver Aston, he should not be your opponent, right? "

"Okay", Li Changheng's face was helpless, but his heart became ecstatic.

It doesn't cost money to buy shares, which means that no one can question the legitimacy and legality of his shareholding.

Transferring another 35 million pounds to the accounts of seven shareholders in UBS means that everyone is accomplices.

In the future, if something goes wrong because of this 100 million pound incident, it will be unlucky for everyone.

But this is impossible. The seven shareholders who received the money will stand with Li Changheng 100% and cover up and destroy all clues and evidence.

Moreover, the money was transferred internally by UBS and would not attract the attention of the outside world. Even if someone had an accident, the UBS account could not be found, and the case could not be filed.

And this is why Philip is willing to come forward.

Then Li Changheng thought, Annie should not be involved in this matter.

After thinking for a while, he said, "After I buy the land in Hyde Park, it will be anonymously donated to the royal family's private fund.

Surely you don't want to involve Anne as much as I do, do you? "

Philip smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Very well, I did see you right, kid."

The flash of smugness in Philip's eyes immediately reminded Li Changheng of what happened when they met this morning.

The old man said that he hoped that he could buy the land near Hyde Park and return it to the royal family as a gift for marrying Anne.

At that time, I swore that the land would be passed on to my and Annie's descendants, but I didn't expect that the land would really belong to the royal family in just one day.

Then the next morning, Li Changheng, who was still upset, became silent after reading the newspaper.

ps, ask for a monthly pass on May 5th.
