Vol 2 Chapter 2:

Thinking of the faucets called cows, dog heads, etc., originally worth a thousand dollars, they were bought back at a high price by related people. In Chen Taizhong's mind, it must be a little unbalanced.
You know, it was robbed abruptly. After a few laps, it was inexplicably whitewashed, and it became the one who robbed you in the first place, and now it is robbed of you again.
On the contrary, people still have their own set of fallacies and set of rules, which really makes people angry when they think of it.
So the democracy and justice advertised by Westerners is just that. It's a very nonsense. Thinking about this, Director Chen looked at Nick and asked with a smile, "Nick, I remember you have your own underground power in Birmingham?"
"Oh, I've gotten back to righteousness," Nick's face strained and his expression was solemn. "You know, now I am not very addicted to drugs. If people have goals, they can become noble."
"Oh, stop taking drugs? That's really a shame," Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, "I thought you would like the two gifts I gave you."
"Occasionally... occasionally I still suck, you know, politics is very easy to make people nervous," Nick heard that when they wanted to take the opportunity to take back the two and not give him, he immediately became anxious and explained with a smile.
"Occasionally indulgence is also good for the body and mind. There are many celebrities who smoke marijuana, but I... But just a little bit ahead of them, what's the matter?"
"Well, I don't want to hear your explanation," Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head. He immediately stared at him with an extremely serious expression, "But you can't deny that you are inextricably linked with those underground forces, right?"
"I don't know why, I think it's a bit dangerous to see your look," Nick nodded with a smile. He is not an idiot. It turns out that his reaction is still very keen, "Well, even if it is what you said. Do you need my help? My friend?"
"Have you heard of the sad night in the Champs Elysees?" Chen Taizhong looked at him with a smile. That time shopping in Paris was a bit savage. So that night got such a reputation.
"You dry the land?" Nick eyes. Zhang immediately became the boss. This event is so famous in Europe. Especially shocked the upper class society. It's too profound.
Just think about it. The most important holiday eve of the year. The "shopping paradise" was born in Paris. What a shocking thing that is.
"It's not my dry land." Chen Taizhong firmly denied. The heart says you can flaunt justice. This has done a and set up an archway. Buddies can do it too. He smiled and shook his head. "I only obtained some stolen goods through certain channels. You know. This involves state secrets. I don't have the right to explain to you the details of the matter."
"Uh... so good. I believe it too. It's not you doing the land. Hehe." Nick nodded with a smile. But he looked in Chen Taizhong's eyes. Still unavoidably mixed with a little suspicion. "What are you trying to say?"
"Mortgage. I never showed it. Why are you so stupid?" Chen Taizhong looked at him. Smiling and spreading his hands. "I think I made it very clear, right? Use the underground channels you control. Mortgage these things in. I only have one request. You are not allowed to reveal who the owner is."
"You don't believe in government guarantees. So, I use jewellery to guarantee mortgages. It's always not a problem, right? Am I not clear enough?"
"Lost in the night of sorrow..." Nick pondered for a long time, but still shook his head dejectedly, "No, there are too many giants involved here, and my pressure will be great."
"Oh, then all right, I'll go find someone else," Chen Taizhong said, if you don't earn the money, someone will still earn it.
He had never thought of making a big fuss about jewelry before. It was because of psychological barriers. He always felt that it was stolen goods. If he took it out, not only would it easily cause trouble, but he also always felt that the face was not good. He missed my dignified Luo Tianshang. , You can't do things like this, right?
However, he remembered the condition of those faucets today, and the guilt in his heart was immediately forgotten. Buddies just follow your habits. In this way, everyone can't say anything about me, right?
Are you looking for someone? When Nick heard this, he was immediately taken aback. He said that this guy actually had this kind of goods in his hands. Once the news spreads, it will definitely be the target of vigorous investigation by the major European and American giants, especially those who have made huge compensation. The company will never let this person go!
Nick's knowledge of insurance companies is much deeper than ordinary people. He knows very well that if he offends the Queen of England or the prime minister, the problem will not be very big. Offended the president of France and even the United States, which is actually the same thing, but offended the insurance company— —The consequences are really disastrous!
In small matters, the power of insurance companies may not be reflected. After all, a good image is the goal pursued by insurance companies, but in major matters, in major events where insurance companies have made huge claims, once they touch their hands, they are destined to be Life is better than death.
Will I be silenced? This is the question he will consider at the next moment. Since Chen Taizhong has said all such private matters, it is obvious that if he does not agree, the possibility of suicide is very high.
I knew that there would be nothing good with this guy! In Nick's heart, he yelled angrily.
However, the benefits are also obvious. The next moment, his thoughts began to change. If he deals with illegal goods, Nick is also very clear that there are always some benefits in this world that are worthy of a U-turn. The risk goes to dry land.
For example, drug trafficking, arms... And the same is true of the current sale. The benefits that can be generated during it are really staggering. The most important thing is that Nick knows that the risk of this thing is actually much smaller than that of drug trafficking— —It’s just to pay attention to the rules.
"Man dies for money, and birds die for food" is a Chinese proverb, but there are many similar sayings in Britain. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind, "Can you tell me the details?"
"This...I can't be the master," Chen Taizhong groaned, and made this answer first. Now he is used to self-deprecating status, but he doesn't think it is embarrassing. "I want to discuss it with someone. ...We are very democratic."
You are democratic but not democratic. It's a matter of mine, that's just an excuse to interfere in your country's politics! Nick bitterly slandered in his heart, but because of this, he further settled his guess about Chen Taizhong's identity. But his face was a perfect smile.
"Hehe, then I'll look forward to the good news... But, first say hello to you. For stolen goods, the highest mortgage price is 20% of the market price. You must be mentally prepared."
"Well, I will bring your local words to you." Chen Taizhong nodded with a solemn face and was noncommittal. In fact, he was just looking for an excuse to check the price of the jewelry in Xumijie.
He hadn't paid attention to these things before. Even, in Tang Yixuan's Xumi Ring, maybe the jewelry was more valuable than his here. Who would want him to not pay attention before.
In the next afternoon, Chen Taizhong just took a calculator. Sitting in the room, I kept adding and subtracting. Fortunately, although there are many jewels, the top-quality ones are limited, and the grades are not enough, and the direct officialdom is ignored.
He settled roughly. Converting francs into pounds, there is roughly the same amount, about two billion pounds worth of jewellery-counting the hundreds of shops and warehouses he swept through, this figure is really not worth mentioning. Although only jewelry.
Moreover, this is only jewelry, and moreover, Tang Yixuan took it away. Not yet included!
In short, it is more than two billion. It took him about two more hours to pick out what he thought was convenient for mortgage. Too high-end is not good, too low-end is a waste of time, about 300 million pounds of jewelry.
More than 1,000 pieces are less than 2,000 pieces. On average, one piece is only about 150,000 pieces, which is suitable for high-end groups to digest.
When he walked out of the room, it was found that the delegation had not yet returned. In the afternoon it was the Suburban government and the Birmingham delegation to finalize various cooperation and exchanges. Although most of the content has been discussed by phone, fax and email, But it still takes some time to finalize.
However, Nick, who said that he was due to the jet lag, woke up and was walking around the hall with nothing to do. There were also two city government secretaries talking and laughing around him-feeling at home, probably like this Up.
It’s just that Nick seems to have nothing to talk about. There is nothing to say, and his eyes are relatively blank. Until he saw Chen Taizhong, there was a little light in his eyes, "Ha, Chen Chu, are you awake?" "You still call me Chen Taizhong "Well," Chen Taizhong couldn't accept his new name, and the strange sound sounded like "toad", "Why, didn't you go out?"
"Waiting for the tour guide you find for me," Nick smiled and came to the spirit, "Haha, but to be honest, jet lag is really a chore. Fortunately, I didn't go to Japan, otherwise I would feel like midnight. The vampire crawling out of it."
Those two were a little dumbfounded. We thought this Englishman would not laugh, dare to love, the smile of others is also different, and I don't know how the Phoenix Director Chen wins over this British congressman?
Chapter 922 Compromise
Although Nick was mixed in the delegation, his itinerary was not restricted. Since the Labor Party came to power in 1997, a series of local government reform plans have been introduced. Although the decision-making power of the parliamentary committee was once denied, it was realized. After the direct election of the mayor, the city government and the people depend on the faces of the local council members.
This is one of the reasons why Nick wants to compete for the speaker.
Now that he saw Chen Taizhong come out, he didn't bother to wait for the evening reception. "Hehe, let's go, take me out and have a look. I haven't stayed in Beijing for a long time. I really hope to get close to this magical country."
The two staff members looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Director Chen, it's getting dark soon, do you need someone to accompany you?"
This is pure nonsense. It's not more than five o'clock right now, and there are at least three hours before dark, but what they mean is that we want to be accompanied.
"Personal relationship, just walk around." Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, rejected their suggestion, and Ni and Nick walked out. They didn't even bother to drive the car and just wandered on the street.
"Here, it's more prosperous than I thought." Although Nick's words were speechless, they still had a sincere tone. Some people demonize China purely for the purpose of demonizing, but some people don’t know anything and just wave the flag and shout. Senator Nepal is probably the latter.
"I won't talk about that with you. Let's put it this way, the market value of jewelry is probably more than 200 million," Chen Taizhong did not accompany his interest in slandering the road. "If the mortgage is 20%, we agree in principle."
"More than 300 million..." Nick was silent. Obviously, this number surprised him a bit. Even though he had some preparations, after a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Is it because I said 50 million at noon, you only have 300 million, or you only have 300 million?"
"This...I don't know," Chen Taizhong shrugged, and directly pushed to those unwarranted colleagues, "They told me so. I will tell you that."
"There is one thing, I think, I have to tell you," Nick pondered, "A few of the jewels missing on the night of sorrow. The original owner hopes to redeem it..."
Dare to be sentimental, he carefully sorted out Chen Taizhong’s request in the afternoon while waiting for his reply, and then he was stunned to realize that this matter is actually necessary to speculate, whether it is from the perspective of collecting money or from the perspective of owning a country. The government's underground support will be his rare political capital.
This strengthened his speculative determination. Risks have always been proportional to returns. A politician who doesn't speculate what to do?
Soon after. There was news from Europe, and the deal was fully accepted. However, many of the jewels lost that night can be called priceless, and some of them are closer to the nature of non-sale items and are used for display.
In the underground channel of Nick Land, someone received the dark red and wanted to retrieve some of them. Therefore, he must explain clearly: business can be done, but I hope you will return those gadgets to the original owner.
"Is the property returned to the original owner? Don't even think about it," Chen Taizhong snorted coldly. "I've never been a philanthropist. To be honest, I am very interested in sending these owners back to heaven."
This is too tough. Nick was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. After half a minute of stunned, he gave a wry smile, "I've already said it, they deliberately bought it back with money."
"Well, I can talk about it," Chen Taizhong nodded with a smile, "Is it redeemed at the market price?"
"Definitely not," Nick Kuo smiled and shook his head, watching his reaction out of the corner of his eye. "They are willing to redeem it at 10%. This is the rule-of course, in return, they don't Will ask the source, that is to say, if you realize the jewelry, there won't be any back-end."
"Only 10%?" Chen Taizhong sneered and shook his head, "I am not interested in this suggestion. After a hundred or eighty years, who will investigate the origin of these jewels?"
"It's actually a protection fee." Seeing that he wasn't angry, Nick was naturally willing to explain a little more. "You have to go hand in hand and collect money from them. You should know that the price of jewelry... is all speculated."
"Needless to say," Chen Taizhong reached out, "give me the list of lost items. If it is in my supply, I will remove it."
"Okay, let me just say it straight." Nick shrugged his shoulders regretfully when he saw that the man was not coming in. "I'll give you the list, but there is one...and I can use it. Channel-related, I hope you can open up the Internet."
"Oh, this..." Chen Taizhong groaned for a moment. He felt that the demands of the servant were not too much, so he smiled and nodded, "Well, it's just one piece, even if it's not in my hands, I will help. You recovered it."
He still has a clear mind. Since it is related to Nick’s channel, it is necessary to compromise on this point. Otherwise, this mortgage will inevitably cause problems. "But I hope you and your channel can manage your own Mouth, I don’t need to say it a second time, right?"
"Don't worry about this," Nick replied with a smile, "It's not tight, it has disappeared long ago, and I know about it, there are only three people including me."
When this matter was negotiated, his mood was greatly relaxed, and Chen Taizhong was also in a good mood. Anyway, another large investment was settled. The next time, the two walked and talked.
After chatting, I walked to the door of the Agency Affairs Administration. A Santana two thousand and two people honked the horn, but Xu Chunliang stuck his head out of the window, "Too loyal, come to Subo?"
"Haha, receive British guests," Chen Taizhong patted Nick next to him smoothly, "No way, this guy must let Zhu Bingsong call me from Phoenix to greet him."
"Haha, this is the congressman?" Xu Chunliang pushed the car door and walked down, and smiled and stretched out his hand to Nick.
Chen Taizhong knew Nick’s stinky and hard temper, and was afraid that he would offend his friend, before turning his head to suggest him, who thought Nick had stretched out his hand with a smile, but he spoke Chinese, which is quite standard. Kind of, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Chen's mouth suddenly opened in amazement, not because the tone was very standard, nor because Nick was polite, but because he suddenly thought that the conversation between himself and Liu Bin at noon would not really let him. Did you hear clearly?
If it were really heard clearly, that would be really shameful! Everyone knows that Chen Taizhong is a face-saving guy, so at this moment he really feels a little shameless.
Seeing the two Chinese people looking at him dumbfounded, Nick was happy and laughed, "How about it, don't I speak Chinese well?"
"Haha," Chen Taizhong and Xu Chunliang burst into laughter immediately when they heard the strange yin and yang words that followed, especially when this person was still speaking "Chinese".
The three stood on the side of the road and chatted for a while. Xu Chunliang’s English is basically at the level of jumping words, and Nick’s Chinese is even more terrible. However, this does not need to prevent everyone from chatting. Even guessing and talking are quite lively. .
It took about ten minutes~EbookFREE.me~ Xu Chunliang raised his hand to look at his watch, and nodded to the two of them, "I have something to do. Let’s go first. Too loyal, please entertain British guests for me. ."
"Why?" Nick quit, holding his hand with a grin, "Xu, leaving halfway like this, but it's very rude, let's eat together tonight?"
"This... Actually, I don't like Western food very much." Xu Chunliang didn't expect that this guy was so enthusiastic, he was a little puzzled for a while, and couldn't help but squint at Chen Taizhong. What is going on?
"When I come to China, of course I have to eat Chinese food," Nick smiled on his face and held his hand. "I only stay for a few days. Since it is Chen's friend, I don't think my invitation is presumptuous, right?"
"Ahem," Chen Taizhong coughed twice before nodding to Nick, "Oh, I forgot to introduce to you, Xu Chunliang is the son of Governor Xu, Nick, I think you can let go." Governor Xu ? Nick blinked his eyes, but seeing Chen Taizhong's face a little unhappy, he still laughed and let go of Xu Chunliang's hand.
In the end, Xu Chunliang was still not good enough for Nick's enthusiasm. The three people sat in Santana and arrived at a restaurant called "Guxiang". It was not big but the decoration was elegant-Nick said, he likes spicy food.
