Chapter 494 Three Swords
While everyone was eating, drinking, chatting and discussing business, in a lonely corner of the dinner, Bobby introduced the mystery of the high-class dinner to Liang Xi: "In a dinner for communication, the dinner will automatically rank people. The most influential They will greet each other, but they will not chat together for a long time, but will disperse to other locations. They really have something to chat, and they will not choose this location. Look at that bald man, the largest financial giant in Italy, who eats people without spitting out bones , the daily business is short and long for domestic and foreign projects, and the people around him are all speculators. Once they find a good project, they will swarm up and eat up the prey. They are not worried about money, but they are afraid that everyone will you play."

Bobby looked at a woman in her fifties in the distance: "The Belgian gambling queen, she is the owner of a venture capital institution, but her investment has two characteristics. The first characteristic is that this enterprise has commercial value. .The second feature is not divided into equity, but bet against each other.”

Liang Xi humbly asked, "What is a bet against each other?"

Bobby explained: "You opened a convenience store with [-] pounds, and you still need [-] pounds to buy goods, but you don't have a penny in your pocket. At this time, I told you, I can give you [-] pounds, but in You must pay me back the three thousand pounds after five years."

Liang Xi said, "Is the interest okay?"

Bobby said: "But I'm worried that you won't be able to run the convenience store well, and I will lose everything in five years. So I want to set up a condition that your convenience store's monthly turnover must reach [-] pounds. If there is no If it reaches [-] pounds, what I want is not money, what I want is the assets of your convenience store. This kind of bet is very common in the film and television industry, real estate industry and various Internet industries. On the one hand, the reason is that Party B is unwilling to give up the equity Selling at a low price. You’re just short of liquidity, you don’t want to sell equity.”

Bobby said: "As an investor of Party A, if your business goes well, I can get back my own money with interest. If your business doesn't go well, then your convenience store will be mine. This is just The agreement on the surface, in fact, Party A and Party B have various countermeasures, and they emerge in endlessly. Take your party B as an example, your monthly turnover is only 450 pounds, and you violate the agreement, so what should you do? You can let people pay 50 The price of sterling buys you 10 pounds of goods. In this way, your index for this month is enough. At the beginning of next month, you use 60 pounds to buy back 10 pounds of goods. Because you are allowed to have one month a year If you don’t meet the standard, you can choose a month and make the turnover of this month reach 10 pounds. Party A is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If I look down on your convenience store, I will not engage you. If I want your convenience shop, I can also make you unable to reach the turnover. Or induce you to do something that violates the agreement. For example, as I said just now, if I get the evidence, I can sue you.”

Bobby said: "Did you see that old man wearing glasses? He is nicknamed the Unfinished King, and his company specializes in helping others with bad debts. You borrowed 1 million from the bank, and you tell the bank that I have no money, so arrest me and go to jail." The bank is not interested in your jail time, but it has nothing to do with you. So they sold the debt of 60 million to A. A heard that you have so many properties, so he bought the debt to find you. You tell A that the property involves multiple debts It has been frozen by the bank. A has nothing to do with you, so he sold the debt to B for 20 million. In the end, the debt became 4 million, and you bought your own debt from Ding for 5 million.”

Bobby said: "He made his first pot of gold by this method. You have to ask why the bank loaned him [-] million yuan. Anyway, you don't understand, so I won't talk about it."

Liang Xi knew that he couldn't beat Bobby today, at least not now, so he endured it and asked a heartbreaking question: "Why doesn't anyone say hello to you?" At most, he just said a few words, or raised his glass to say hello, and then passed

Bobby said: "I'm not from the business circle. My dad is in charge of the family business. The people who come here are all experts, and they know that there is almost no benefit in getting close to me. And because many people slander me as the king of the sea, the girls are in such a specification In public places, I can only stand on the sidelines and watch me drool."

Liang Xi didn't know what to say.

Bobby said: "My car will arrive the day after tomorrow. Is there any program?"

Liang Xi asked, "You really don't go out without a bulletproof car?"

Bobby said: "This is called an attitude, an attitude that makes the family feel at ease, you orphan know nothing."

The whole body is itchy, itching to the point where you can't beat someone!However, Liang Xi couldn't refute it. Although he was not an orphan in the popular sense, he had indeed been in the orphan circle for several years.

Bobby asked: "Tell me about Drow."

"beg me."

"Please."

It's over!I may not be able to handle him in the future.What are you using to compete with poisonous and shameless people?

Liang Xi briefly explained the situation, and said, "The second princess ranks seventh on the list of the richest women in Europe."

Bobby asked in surprise, "Indonesian? Petain?"

Liang Xifan was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

Bobby took a sip of champagne: "Because she is very special."

The second princess is called Petain, an Indonesian-French whose family is one of the largest spice suppliers in Europe.Petain started its business ten years ago, and successively acquired luxury companies including leather, brandy, wine, jewelry, clothing, etc., and then Petain Group became famous in Europe. Relying on its strong business ties with Southeast Asia, the industry People are generally optimistic about the future of Petain Group.

Why are they all luxury goods?You must know that all the big families in France are engaged in luxury goods. Many luxury goods are related to well-known groups, and they are also well-known brands.L'Oreal, Louis Hennessy, Hermes, Chanel, these luxury brands are all controlled by the top French families.Excluding the rich luxury goods, there are very few French people who can be on the Forbes list.In a certain sense, luxury is one of the pillar industries of France.

Bobby obviously knew about Petain, so he opened his mouth and said some information about Petain.Petain is only 31 years old this year. She is a single hedonist. She has repeatedly stated in public that she will not get married.What's interesting is that she doesn't have a boyfriend, not even a close male friend.

Bobby took out Petain's photo, and Liang Xi glanced at it: "Wow." No wonder you are so familiar with him.Liang Xi had seen the news photos of Petain and thought it was pretty good.Petain in the photo that Bobby took out is not only beautiful, but also enchanting can be used to describe it.Petain with thick lips and blue eyes exudes a sinister aura everywhere in his body.

Poppy added: "Never heard of her having a girlfriend either, her private life is a blank slate. She also goes on holidays and goes to no-cloth beaches like the famous Brazilian no-cloth beach. But her bodyguards Will prevent outsiders from disturbing her. Whether it is a strong man with a vest line, a curvaceous beauty, or an outstanding young man like me, they will all be turned away. Even if I say that I am from the Clement family, I will be rejected. She pushes back, and she says it's nice to meet me, but it's her vacation time and I can make an appointment with her assistant."

Bobby seemed to recall the predicament at that time: "God gave her a devil-like figure and an angel-like face, but she used them to play with sand." The tone was quite dissatisfied.

Liang Xi asked, "Is she a believer in the holy religion?"

Bobby was startled: "I know she has a little red mole on her chest."

Liang Xi said, "I'm asking about her belief."

Poppy: "I know she had a minor surgery."

Liang Xi: "You are riding a horse!"

Bobby spread his hands: "She likes going fishing, camping on isolated islands overseas, swimming, skydiving, and blue. I have studied her for a few days. You know, I am a gentleman, I respect other people's beliefs, I It is immoral to think that belief is the privacy of others, and it is immoral to inquire about other people's privacy."

Bobby said: "Although I don't know the religion, I'm pretty sure she's heterosexual."

Liang Xi asked, "Why didn't you invite her to the charity gala?"

Bobby replied: "Since I can't get it, why should I add her?" What Licking Dog enjoys is the pleasure of being masochistic during the pursuit, and what Neptune enjoys is the result of the successful pursuit.The two are not comparable.

The lights dimmed slowly, and the hostess, who was a guest star, walked to the middle of the stage. After a brief speech for 1 minutes, she announced the official start of the auction, and invited out Lot No. 20: Self-portrait of Geoffrey Chaucer.Geoffrey Chaucer is a very famous British novelist, known as the father of poetry.This kind of oil painting can't be bought without tens of thousands of pounds. It's a pity that the painter who painted the portrait of Geoffrey Chaucer is really average.The painting was sold at a Christie's auction starting at £[-].

This kind of lot is extremely rare in charity evenings. Most of the items auctioned at charity evenings are of more commemorative significance than collection significance, and even air can be auctioned, as long as you can tell the story of air.Charity needs to be moved, the reality is too skinny, and the story is touching.Bobby's act of putting out high-value items for auction instantly silenced the scene.

Bobby whispered in Liang Xi's ear, "My batch of goods are all famous rotten goods, and they are all items of real value."

Liang Xi asked: "Aren't you afraid that they will take away ten thousand or twenty thousand?"

"Aren't you Trust?" Bobby smirked: "Or tomorrow's headlines in London: Philanthropists are dumbfounded and refuse to donate to charitable foundations. I don't ask for more. The fifteen people I'm targeting here, each give me Just take one with you. I don’t lose money if no one buys it, I signed a consignment agreement with the auction house, and more than 15 parts of this oil painting are mine.”

Liang Xi asked, "How much do I entrust with this thing?"

Poppy replied, "300,000."

"Fuck."

"Either the air force, or bleeding." Bobby: "I'm just an ignorant boy who doesn't understand the rules of charity auctions, which makes everyone laugh. I don't understand the rules, but philanthropists do."

"3 million euros." When everyone was amazed at today's auction, a woman's voice came, and everyone looked at this woman. Everyone seemed to not recognize this ordinary-looking young girl.

The girl raised her hand, and the staff immediately brought over the microphone. The girl took the microphone and said, "Miss Hannah, the president and chairman of Hannah Group, was once attacked in London... They abide by their duties and never turn back... Even the assistants of the frontline police department Director Gray also died in his post... For this reason, Miss Hannah personally donated 3 million euros to purchase the first lot of the charity auction. Thank you everyone."

Bobby grabbed Liang Xi and muttered, then pushed Liang Xi aside.

Amid the applause of the crowd, the girl went directly to the stage without playing backstage transactions, operated the mobile phone to transfer 3 million euros directly to the charity fund account, and then held up the mobile phone as a signal.The staff on one side contacted the star host through the headset, and the star host proved that the fund account had received 3 million euros in donations.This wave of operations caused thunderous applause at the scene. Everyone applauded and let the girl walk through them, watching the girl leave the venue.

The celebrity host cuts the scene to maintain the atmosphere, and quickly invites the second lot: a group photo and signature of ten European scientific Nobel Prize winners ten days ago.The value of this thing is hard to say.There is such a joke: Ask, you stay alone in a room without electronic equipment tonight, and now there are two books for you to choose, one is Liu Bei and the other is the encyclopedia.May I ask which one you choose.I believe most people will choose Liu Bei.Ask again, human civilization is about to perish, and you can only choose one book to leave to future generations. Will you choose the encyclopedia or Liu Bei?

The autographed photo is of little use to the individual, as the buyer cannot have their photo taken with them.But there is a certain value to human beings, and the photo witnessed an important scientific meeting.

The starting price is £2, which is acceptable to everyone.Just when everyone was assessing their own psychological prices, Liang Xi raised his hand: "[-] million US dollars."

Then Liang Xi took the microphone and explained that he was buying the first lot on behalf of a British rich man in Quebec, Canada. Considering that someone contributed 3 million euros to the first lot, Liang Xi had to take the second place to buy the second lot .Liang Xi begged everyone not to increase the price, and played the sad card that the rich man was old. His son was a London policeman who died in a job. The donation from the rich man was to fulfill his wish.

The guests from the judiciary basically knew Liang Xi, but the merchants and rich men didn't know who this young man was.In fact, even the guests from the judiciary cannot be sure whether Liang Xi really donated money.Liang Xi swiped 2 million US dollars on the spot, held up his mobile phone, and the chief bodyguard cooperated with the successful transfer, and the star host announced that he had received the donation.

Bobby temporarily changed his tactics and handed over all the 2 million dollars allocated to Tou to Liang Xi.Why is Poppy bleeding?It is important to know that foundations not only provide charitable funds, but also invest.In theory, the direction and goal of investment should follow the opinions of the investment team, but in fact Bobby has the right to decide.The failure of the investment and the bankruptcy of the foundation have nothing to do with Bobby. 2 million is leverage. As for whether you can get more cash from the pockets of philanthropists through 2 million leverage, it depends on Bobby's ability to control the field.

Like the first girl, Liang Xi left the venue after donating money.When I ran into Bo Mu outside the venue, Liang Xi stepped aside politely. Bo Mu didn't look at Liang Xi, and walked into the venue with her daughter holding her hand.

At the auction venue, no one expected that there would be a third knife: the blood moon, a non-governmental organization, donated 1 million pounds.The little girl obviously had stage fright, tremblingly said that many police officers have died in the line of duty due to terrorist attacks in recent years, especially in the stadium bombing, where many front-line police officers died.As a non-governmental organization, Blood Moon has always opposed violence. It is grateful to the police officers who bravely resisted violence for maintaining the law and order in London. In order to better help the orphans of the police officers who died in the line of duty, they donated 1 million pounds to the charitable foundation.

After the two knives, some people started calling. These people came to London to participate in the charity gala on behalf of the group or family, and they had limited donations at their disposal.After the third knife was stabbed, many people have already realized.The fourth lot started, and the auction finally resumed its normal process, but the bidding method was very different.Basically, the bid is in units of [-] pounds, and there are many people who have invested millions of pounds to make a final decision.

In the end, Bobby raised nearly ten million pounds of charitable funds, plus the five million pounds that Bobby himself promised to invest. Under proper management and investment, there is no need for a second social donation.
