Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2580 Isn’t it just money?

A man who comes to you at an incredible speed when you need him most, bringing with him all his wealth, she thinks such a man is much more reliable than Owen.

But Tom doesn't think so. He thinks only a capable man like Owen can bring happiness to Sophia.

At this time, Owen called Sophia and asked about Liu Qinghua with a look of disdain.

He directly took out a check: "This is one million euros. As long as you break up with Liu Qinghua, it's yours."

Sophia looked at him with contempt, not wanting to say anything, and left him to go take care of the guests.

Alan secretly waved his fist at Sophia to cheer her up, which made Owen so angry that he sat back down and started to eat dry bread.

Owen discovered that since he met Sophia, although he wanted to spend every day in the restaurant, he was often hungry.

The most infuriating thing was that when Sophia walked to the bar, Alan high-fived her, and the two of them seemed to be celebrating because they had provoked him.

Tom was still busy in the kitchen and had no time to pay attention to Owen. When he came out, Owen hadn't touched the food on the table and had only eaten a piece of dry bread.

Tom has seen this kind of scene many times, so it's not surprising to him. Tom always thought that the other person was not hungry and just came to show his support.

So, Owen reheated the leftovers and ate them all.

  Seeing Tom coming over, Owen held the check and said coldly:

"She didn't want it, so I just gave it to him."

  Looking at the long string of numbers above, Tom was stunned for a moment and muttered:

"This child is crazy. Doesn't she know how to count?"

At this time, Liu Qinghua, who had just woken up, came to the restaurant. After all, he had been working in the catering industry for several months, so he knew how busy it was during mealtimes.

Although he seldom takes care of business matters, he is the one who buys the ingredients, so he has developed a habit of coming and taking a look.

Seeing him come in, Tom felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were still father-in-law and son-in-law. Although Liu Qinghua wanted to end the marriage, it was not right for him to help others pursue his daughter before the marriage ended.

  Liu Qinghua didn't care and called out to him:

"Tom, are you busy?"

Tom made the excuse that he was busy and went back to the kitchen. At that time, Sophia was serving dishes in the back and didn't see him coming.

But Alan waved at him happily, with a look of excitement on his face.

  Owen seemed unable to suppress his anger and shouted:

"Mr. Liu, can we talk?"

Liu Qinghua walked over and sat opposite him. I wonder what he wanted to say? After all, he was embarrassed to talk about letting others chase his wife in front of her.

Although Sophia already knew about this, she still had to save face.

As soon as he sat down, Owen looked at him with contempt.

"What are you doing here? What can you give her? You might be able to help her in Junken City, but what can you do in London? She's short of money now, can you give her any?"

Liu Qinghua's face darkened. He had been quite polite to this guy, but he gave him too much face and he actually questioned him.

"When she was my wife, I could give her everything. What's the point of saying all this? Why are you complaining to me?"

  Owen sneered and shook the check in his hand:

"Can you give me this? Do you have so much? You're not coming here with only 10,000 RMB, are you?"

At this time, Liu Qinghua also saw the number on the check clearly and felt a little depressed. He really didn't have one million euros.

Seeing his silence, Owen became more arrogant, pointing at his nose and scolding:

"If you don't have the ability, don't take it. You don't even have a million, but you still want to have two wives. Don't you even consider your age? What else can I do if I marry you?"

Liu Qinghua stood up and looked at him coldly. Owen opened his mouth and wanted to continue speaking.

As a result, a slap had already hit his face. No man could accept such an insult.

At this time, Sophia had come out. Seeing this scene, she ran over with Allen. The two girls didn't ask about the situation. They stood with Liu Qinghua and glared at Owen.

Owen was beaten and gave in. His gentlemanly manners were gone and he looked at Liu Qinghua with a ferocious face.

"Are you angry out of shame? Did my words hit a sore spot for you? Am I wrong? No money means no money. If you take out one million now, I will turn around and leave!"

Sophia completely exploded: "You are rich, what's so great about that? Even if I have to beg for food, I will follow Lao Liu to beg. I don't want your filthy money!"

Tom was standing behind them by now, and after a moment's hesitation he interrupted.

"Sophia, I know you love Lao Liu, but we really need money right now, and Owen is here to help us."

Liu Qinghua's face had turned pale. In his life, apart from work, he had never had a quarrel with anyone. He didn't expect that even at his old age, he would still be troubled by money.

  But everyone has to save face. Since Irving has said this, how could he possibly admit defeat?

I asked Sophia for her phone number and called Ye Yuze:

"Yuze, I need one million euros, and I need it now."

Ye Yuze said nothing: "I know, Uncle Liu, tell me the address."

Liu Qinghua asked Sophia to tell him the address, and Ye Yuze hung up the phone.

  Ten minutes later, two people came to the restaurant, and one of them smiled at Liu Qinghua:

"Old Mayor, we are from the British branch of Warrior Automobile. President Ye asked us to send you some money."

He pulled the check out of his bag and held out his business card.

"Boss Ye said that as long as you need it within 100 million euros, you don't need to ask him, just call me."

Liu Qinghua took the check and said to Owen proudly:

"Just because I don't have money doesn't mean I can't get it. This is what Liu Qinghua earned with his good character. Can you compare to that?"

  Sophia's face was full of stars, and Allen didn't wait for Sophia to react, and kissed Liu Qinghua on the face again. This man is so handsome!

Sophia pushed her away, and Tom was very upset.

Owen didn't care, and took the check with a sneer:

"Is this an act? Using a fake check to trick me..."

But before he could finish his words, he was stunned, because the check was from HSBC Bank and he could tell at a glance whether it was real or fake.

The key point is that this check is not for one million, but for ten million.

"Ten million? How could this be?"

He muttered to himself, standing there in a daze.

  The young man who delivered the check snatched it away and handed it to Liu Qinghua:

"Old Mayor, please keep it and call me if you need anything."

Everyone in the room saw this scene, and no one was not shocked.

Such an inconspicuous old man asked for 10 million just from a phone call. What kind of person is he?

Tom rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say. Owen ran out of the restaurant without a trace. Liu Qinghua handed the check to Sophia and turned around and left the restaurant. Sophia held the check in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. Tom had never seen such a large check before, so he curiously stepped forward to check it out.

Sophia stuffed it into his hand and said, "Look, look hard. You want to sell your daughter for money. What else can you say this time?"

Allen added: "I think it's necessary to reconsider my relationship with you."

Tom quickly returned the check to Sophia and explained to Alan:

"I'm not doing this for money. Old Liu is too old. Besides, it's not legal to marry two wives. Even in the military reclamation city, it's illegal."

Allen didn't care: "What's wrong with two? If they have the ability, who cares if they go to ten?"

Tom had just married her and they were in love at the time. Now that his wife misunderstood him because of money, he naturally had to explain it quickly.

However, she didn't expect that this woman had the same view of men as her daughter, which left her speechless.

So he quickly said to Sophia: "The money is all yours, and the restaurant you open in the future will also be yours. I will just work for you. Dad is not being scornful of the poor and loving the rich, but is thinking about your future."

Hearing her father say this, Sophia naturally believed it. He raised her and her sister with great difficulty and even didn't look for a woman. It was all because of them.

She was just angry, and naturally didn't really think that her father despised the poor and loved the rich. So she hugged Alan's neck.

"I'll give you 30% of the shares when I open the shop. If you work hard for me, I'll give you more if you do a good job."

Alan laughed loudly and bowed quickly: "Boss, I will definitely treat this store as my home in the future. Just wait and see how I perform!"

Then he pulled Tom and said, "You have to say something, or the shares will be mine."

Tom was relieved to see them happy:

"I'll give it all to you. Why would I need shares? I'll just work like a slave for you!"

The two women laughed again, and Tom suddenly felt that the sun had become much brighter.

As for shops, Tom has looked at some these days and has some ideas in mind. In the southeast corner of the market, there is a warehouse with an area of ​​several thousand square meters.

It was originally a warehouse of a department store. Later, as the market became bustling and it became inconvenient to enter and exit, it was gradually abandoned.

The British people are not very smart. With so many people looking for houses, no one wants to use it as a warehouse. They think a warehouse is just a warehouse.

  Tom met the shop owner, a very kind old man. Tom tentatively asked if the warehouse was for rent.

The old man said he wanted to rent it, but no one wanted it? The main reason was that no one needed a warehouse here, which made Tom speechless.

Now that he has money, he decides to have a good talk with the old man, otherwise if someone really attacks him, it will be too late.

After discussing it with Sophia and Allen, the two of them were even more anxious than he was and urged him to make a phone call and have someone come to the store to talk.

Tom called and the old man came over quickly. He looked a little shabby, his clothes were dirty and his hair was messy.

As soon as Tom told the old man his idea, the old man quickly agreed and asked if it could be faster because he needed money.

Sophia asked how much the rent was?

The old man groaned for a moment and said, "One hundred thousand euros a year, no less. I'm useful."

Tom's face darkened. The price was a bit high. Although the house was big, it was a warehouse and he needed to renovate it.

Alan rolled his eyes and said, "How much does it cost if we buy it?"

The old man's eyes lit up. "It would be best if we could buy it. 50 Euros? Do you think it's okay?"

Alan shook his head: "Too much, we can't afford it."

The old man stood up and explained: "It's not expensive at all for such a big size. I really need the money, otherwise I wouldn't sell it to you."

  Seeing that the three people were silent, the old man gritted his teeth:

"45, no less. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else."

Sophia slammed the table and said, "It's settled. Let's go through the formalities today!"

The formalities were completed quickly, and the house was naturally bought in Sophia's name. Sophia asked Liu Qinghua to go with her.

Liu Qinghua looked at the house and grinned. This is really not suitable for opening a restaurant. It is such a big house, but there are only a few windows, and they are so small. There is not much light.

  If this is to be converted into a restaurant, it will have to be demolished and rebuilt. How big of a project would that be?

Alan stared at the warehouse for a long time, then quickly found a pen and paper and started sketching.

She studied design in college, and this warehouse just now suddenly gave her an inspiration.

That is to maintain the original appearance of the building, arrange the restaurant into the mode of a cabin, and hang up some life buoys and other things, which is very unique.

You have to know that the British have a deep affection for ships. During the Age of Discovery, they relied on ships to become the empire on which the sun never sets.

Sophia hugged Allen and kissed him: "Stepmother, you are a genius!"

At this time, Liu Qinghua expressed a different opinion. It was not that he opposed Allen's design, but he felt that it was a waste of one floor for such a large area.

It can be made into a steel structure and then have two more floors on top, so it can be used for living and also for creating many private rooms. The private rooms should adopt the most modern design to meet the needs of different customers.

This proposal was immediately agreed by everyone and was put into action.

Liu Qinghua couldn't help but sigh in admiration because the warehouse was very solid and built like a fortress, with a steel structure on top that did not need any reinforcement.

There are really many things we can learn from this old-fashioned capitalism. Take this house for example, any one of them can be lived in for hundreds of years without any problem.

However, due to various reasons, not many people in China can survive for decades. This is the gap.

Allen took charge of the design and found a construction team to start construction.

Steel structures are very quick to build. After all, it's not like building a house, so it's not that troublesome.

Liu Qinghua did not leave either. He was an expert in this job and with him around, the project progressed much faster. The boss of the construction team even discussed with him and wanted to hire him as an engineer.

But Sophia refused because she was afraid of tiring her man out. No one knew better than anyone else how hard this man worked.

However, Liu Qinghua left the person alive, saying that if he had any difficulties he could come to him and that he could give him whatever reward he wanted. The boss was overjoyed and said that he had found a treasure.

  After Irving was slapped in the face, he was too embarrassed to come. The main reason was that he came because he was stimulated. How painful it must be to see other people being so loving?

It just so happens that Wang Lina and the others have also returned to China, so we might as well go to the military reclamation city to continue the negotiations.

As for being rejected, he had already gotten used to it. No negotiation would go smoothly. In business, any setbacks were only for the purpose of gaining greater profits.

Time passed quickly, and more than a month later, Sophia Restaurant was completed. At the front of the house was a huge rudder.

The entire restaurant is designed in the shape of a ship.
