209 Money, hatred, handle, reward
Not long after, there was another knock on the door.
Then he saw that although Charles did not lower his head, he did not dare to look at Philip, and brought old Aston and seven others to push the door and push in.
The seven people lined up in two rows and saluted respectfully to Philip standing by the desk.
As for how much sincerity is, God will know.
Since Old Aston can be called Lord, he means he is at least a nobleman above the baron and below the duke.
If aristocrats with such titles have never experienced unfair treatment, they are generally loyal to the royal family and aristocratic system.
And the old Aston, who was already 80 years old, was not completely declining when he was born, and he had experienced the glory of the nobles.
When inheriting the title of the family, it was an extremely difficult battle for the nobles.
An old Aston, who died, had an older brother and a younger brother, also went to the battlefield. It would definitely be difficult to support the Aston family and restore the glory of the family by relying on himself alone.
And since he was in the diamond business, he must have done a lot of disgraceful things, so Philip easily took over the negotiations with Old Aston.
After respectfully making friends with Philip, Old Aston questioned Li Changheng, who was standing two meters away from Philip.
"Henry, since we have reached an agreement, we can now tell us where the diamond is before the holy King of England.
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 found the motive, method and clues for the crime of diamond theft, and I just need to ask where the diamond is hidden.
But the most suspected Mr. Hobbs had committed suicide once in order to protect his accomplice.
In this case, I can't force it too tight.
Otherwise, if the diamond is not found, it will be charged with torture and death."
"this,"
The shareholders and directors of the Diamond Group present could not say in front of Philip that diamonds are important and that life is worthless.
For Li Changheng, it was impossible for him to really tell the two tons of diamonds before Sinclair Insurance paid the 100 million pounds to Diamond Group and Diamond Group threw the money into Hobbes's account.
And this matter cannot be delayed for a long time. After all, diamonds are hidden in sewage treatment ponds, and it is not foolproof.
Fortunately, Hobbs himself knew this and only gave Diamond Group 48 hours, forcing them to not have time to think too much.
In addition, Sinclair Barkley told the media about theft of diamonds, which forced the Diamond Group to devote a lot of energy and relationship networks to comfort and stabilize customers.
To deal with the reporter, we have to find evidence to force the Royal Insurance Association and find official relations, and approve the Insurance Association to force Sinclair Insurance Company to pay 100 million pounds of security.
However, Li Changheng, an openly helper, secretly had bad intentions, and he deliberately delayed after taking over the investigation task.
Taking three-pronged approach, Diamond Group has no extra effort to search for diamonds on a large scale in such a short period of time.
Seeing that Li Changheng didn't dare to take the risk of interrogating the suspected Hobbes, Old Aston frowned and asked, "Then what are you asking us to do here?"
Li Changheng couldn't help but look at Philip.
Philip knocked his hand at the desk, "Lord Aston, can we talk privately?"
Old Aston thought for a while before nodding, then Li Changheng and Charles took the other six shareholders out of the study.
I don’t know what Philip and Aston said. Half an hour later, Li Changheng, who was using silence to deal with the chattering Charles and Andrew brothers, was Li Changheng.
Seeing the study door open, he immediately stood up.
I saw Old Aston, who had a smile on his face but was unhappy and worried in his eyes, and six shareholders gathered together.
The seven people gathered together in a corner of the living room and whispered for more than an hour before finally voting to determine whether to agree with Philip's proposal.
It's done.
As soon as he saw the helpless expressions of the seven shareholders of Diamond Group, Li Changheng knew that they had agreed and reached an agreement.
At the same time, I was convinced that Philip had already had the Diamond Group or the shareholders present.
Otherwise, just money may not necessarily compromise these antiques.
In an instant, Li Changheng felt that pulling Philip was definitely the wisest decision.
After investing in Diamond Group, 5% of this company with a market value of more than US$300 billion will be US$15 billion.
After receiving the affirmative answers from seven shareholders, Philip smiled and said to Li Changheng, "Henry, let's talk."
When he walked into the study and closed the door, Li Changheng had just sat down when Philip was still in front of him.
"The London Evening News has reported on the stolen diamond group and the news.
Oliver Aston, who did not follow him, took the evidence to the Royal Insurance Association at 8 o'clock tonight and asked them to explain the matter.
During the negotiations with Lord Aston, when I mentioned his grudges with Sinclair.
He himself made the condition of destroying Sinclair Insurance Company and asked me to cooperate with him to ask Sinclair Insurance Company to pay 100 million pounds.
So, when the talks were almost done, I had called the Royal Insurance Association and when the bank opened tomorrow morning, the money would be transferred to the designated account of the Diamond Group."
After saying that, Philip sighed with emotion, "Hate and wealth are always the greatest motivation for human beings to do anything.
The terms I negotiated with Aston are that you have to pay £35 million to their 7 shareholders”.
"I will talk about the contract tomorrow, and the money will be transferred after signing the contract in a few days."
After Li Changheng finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked at Philip.
Philip nodded with a sigh, "That £35 million is for seven shareholders, not the Diamond Group.
When a crisis is right in front of you, it is easy for people to make plans for themselves.
So for this £35 million you have to transfer it to the 7 of them at UBS.
And the 5% stake they give must be after you really find the two tons of diamonds.
When it is announced, it will be valued at 500 million pounds, deliberately increasing the true value of diamonds and artificially expanding your achievements.
Then, based on the legal bounty of recovering lost items, you will be rewarded with 5% of the group shares as a reward for saving the entire group.
The most important thing is that there will be rumors that you force Diamond Group to sign a 5% share contract before finding the diamond.
If you like media that think about everything in conspiracy theory, you will definitely report the latter point as a real reason.
In this way, the matter of getting shares will be reasonable.
However, these shares are not allowed to be traded in the next ten years, and the voting rights you want can only be voted by the board of directors after making greater contributions to the Diamond Group in the future.
Li Changheng frowned and said, "That is to say, I spent 60 million pounds to make only a pure investment?"
"Look at the long term, Henry."
Philip persuaded, "You are only 19 years old in two months, Lord Aston is 81. Regardless of time and ability to make money, you are on the side of the winner.
As for Oliver Aston, he shouldn't be your opponent, right?"
"Okay", Li Changheng looked helpless, but he became ecstatic.
If you don’t have to spend money to invest, it means that no one can question the legitimacy and legality of his investment.
If you transfer £35 million to the accounts of seven shareholders at UBS, it means that everyone is accomplice.
If something goes wrong because of this 100 million pounds in the future, we will be unlucky together.
But this is impossible. The seven shareholders who received the money will stand with Li Changheng 100%, covering up and destroying all clues and evidence.
Then Li Changheng thought that this matter could not involve Annie.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I will donate the land in Hyde Park anonymously to the royal private fund after I buy it."
You, like me, don't want to get Annie in, right?"
Philip smiled, "Very good, I really read you right, kid."
The pride flashed through Philip's eyes immediately reminded Li Changheng of the situation when he 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 swear that the land would definitely be passed on to myself and Anne's descendants, but I didn't expect that the land would really become the royal family before it arrived in just one day.
