Four hundred and sixty nine chapters of the devil's temptation
But Duccio's last words made him immediately compromise. 16 (percent sign), just a little less, it's better than nothing. Damn Italians, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't know them.
Lin, you can't make this deal, and now you want to kick yourself out. Lin is also a bastard. Don't forget who you relied on to get in.
There he muttered and complained all the way, as if he was the one who deserved the greatest credit. Without him, everything would have been in vain.
The directors of several mines in Birmingham and the chairman of the union did not expect that these major shareholders would suddenly arrive at the meeting, and hurriedly came out to greet them. Angus acted like a boss at this moment, walking around and pointing.
, and also promised to give bonuses to the workers, and several farm managers and chairman followed behind, finally allowing Angus to regain some balance.
Lin Chen and Ducci walked low-key among the crowd and walked around the entire mine. As Angus said, the entire mine was guarded by local soldiers inside and outside the mine. Although the Birmingham City Hall
The mining rights were handed over to these four mines, but every checkpoint was directly handled by the military. Those city hall officials were not fools either. If someone was willing to work for the government for free, they would naturally have to be wary.
Clicked.
Du Qiao was relatively weak and couldn't walk after walking around two mines. He was arranged to rest in a hotel. Angus pretended to listen to the person in charge reporting to him the recent situation in the mine. Lin Chen
The five people stayed with Duccio to protect his safety and went straight to the city hall.
Albert met Lin Chen in his office. This short man with rosacea patted Lin Chen on the shoulder like an old friend, smiled affectionately and said, "Mr. Lin, you are finally here, alas.
, although we in Birmingham are an industrial city, we also have our own characteristics. You should come here often. People like you who are used to living in big cities like London should occasionally change their environment."
Lin Chen sat down on the sofa in the reception room, took the coffee handed to him by Secret Technique, and started chatting with Eberron.
Albert thought that Lin Chen was here to observe the operation of his companies, so he praised those mines, especially the mining efficiency, saying that Lin Chen had really made a huge contribution to the government's mining industry.
Contribution, as for the employment payment agreed before, the government will pay it in full at the end of the year.
Lin Chen shook his head, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Mr. Albert, actually I want you to understand that I personally just want to make some contribution to this country, not make money from the government. As for the money
, it doesn’t matter to me whether you have it or not.”
Albert nodded. This was not a show, but the truth. The small amount of employment payment paid by the government was only enough to cover the wages of workers and the cost of operating the mine. This was known to both parties from the beginning.
It’s clear.
"So you can keep the money." Lin Chen took out a cigar from his pocket, "I suddenly changed my mind. Since I want to contribute to this country, I shouldn't ask for remuneration."
Albert was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what the other party meant. This sentence was too mysterious. It could be understood as one meaning, but it could also be understood as another meaning.
Albert thought of two meanings at the same time. When he thought of one of them, his heart seemed to beat spontaneously.
Lin Chen spat out his eyes slowly and stopped talking. Bribing a government official is actually not a difficult task. The problem lies in how you capture the other person's mentality.
Albert finally couldn't help it anymore, so he asked cautiously and tentatively, "Have you really decided that way? Have you really decided to give up the employment payment? Well, you are a great philanthropist.
Family, I can submit a report to the Department of Finance without having to appropriate the money."
Lin Chen bit his cigarette holder and smiled, spreading his hands, "It's up to you, Mr. Albert, but I think donating money to the country and donating money to the country's civil servants are actually the same. They are both
You have made a contribution to the country, right?"
Eberron's heart skipped a beat, and in a daze, Lin Chen suddenly turned into a devil. He remained motionless, but seemed to have a pair of hands reaching out to him, a pair of hands filled with gold.
It was like walking to the edge of a cliff and suddenly being pulled by someone. Eberron suddenly woke up. He shook his head, his expression became serious, and he said righteously, "Mr. Lin, you are bribing the government."
Officer, if you don't want the money, I will submit a report to the Department of Finance."
Lin Chen shrugged and said, "I told you, it's up to you. Anyway, you have full authority to handle the money allocated. But do you know? The current cabinet will fall soon. You have served the government noble and selfless."
You have saved such a small amount of money, but those high-ranking officials are now busy consolidating their positions. Who will care about this matter, and who will remember your achievements? They have no time, my dear."
Eberron's eyes widened a bit, "You, how could you say such a thing? You are just making random guesses. You shouldn't have said that."
Lin Chen said slowly, "I have been in London for a long time and have some contacts with some political figures. These are all what they told me. I am just an ordinary businessman. How do I know about the political world? However, I
You also watch the news every day, the bombing of St. Paul's Church, the Pope's sex scandal, and the British special forces are busy fighting terrorists across the country. You don't know these things, right? Come on, you are from the government, you are better than me.
Clearly, if you were a citizen, you would also be calling for the Prime Minister to step down."
Eberron stopped talking. As a government official, of course he couldn't have heard about all this. The news that the prime minister and some ministers were going to step down had long been spread within the government. However, no conclusion had been made. These were just
According to rumors, if the prime minister can withstand the pressure and restore public opinion, then everything will be hard to say.
Lin Chen suddenly leaned forward, less than ten centimeters away from Albert. He stared into his eyes, his voice was full of charm like a magic voice, "Think about it carefully, you can watch yourself helplessly
Their achievements are buried, they miss out on excellent promotion opportunities, and then sit in this position for a lifetime, and finally live on the government pension, or take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. The government's allocation is only a few million pounds.
What's the matter? You can get more than this, money that you won't be able to spend in your next life. Even if you are old and retired, you can still live on a yacht every day with a beautiful woman in your arms."
