Chapter 206 What's Wrong?
Hearing Oliver Aston say that Hobbs passed the dangerous period, but has been in a coma.
Li Changheng hung up the phone with a smile on his lips, and called Philip.
After hanging up the phone, Li Changheng smiled and said to Annie, "Accompany me to Buckingham Palace, or wait at home for me to come back?"
"Of course it's back to Buckingham Palace," Charles stood up and said, "Both of you haven't made it public to you, so you'd better be careful."
"Then let's go." Li Changheng pulled Annie up, "After the matter is over tomorrow, I will go out with you for a while."
At the gate of the villa, after waving goodbye to Bell Burke who drove away alone, Li Changheng and the others arrived at Buckingham Palace in two cars.
As soon as he saw Philip, he was taken to the study by the old man.
When Li Changheng said that he was thinking about getting shares in the diamond group, Philip almost lost the cigar in his hand.
"You have that much money?"
"Collect the funds and sell some gold and properties to get out about 30 million pounds." After finishing speaking, Li Changheng bowed his head and looked contemplative, "If we borrow some more money, we should be able to get out 40 million pounds. "
It's not that he doesn't want to use all the 100 million pounds that he hasn't got to buy the shares of the Diamond Group. It's really that any fool knows that there is a problem with doing this.
And if he really told Philip that he had 70-80 million pounds in cash, the old man would not believe it immediately, after all, no one would think that he could earn such a huge amount of cash in a year.
Philip's eyes brightened immediately after listening.
Then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, a little unbelievable, and he said in surprise, "I think you and Annie can consider getting engaged."
Li Changheng rolled his eyes fiercely, "Let Annie and I decide on this matter."
Philip put down the cigar in his hand, sat next to Li Changheng and said earnestly, "I am Annie's father, and you have no parents or relatives. Of course, my father and father-in-law will worry about your marriage."
"This, this," Li Changheng couldn't stand Philip's burning gaze, and scratched his head, "Let's talk about the investment in the Diamond Group first!"
"OK", seeing Li Changheng's unnatural expression, Philip also knew that he was pushing too hard.
Leaning back, he raised his legs and asked, "How sure are you that the shareholders of Diamond Group will agree?"
"As long as the diamond is not found for a day, they should not reject tens of millions of pounds of funds."
Li Changheng smiled and said, "With my money, even if the funds in the Bank of England cannot be transferred.
It should be able to support until the diamond mines mine enough diamonds to pay diamond dealers all over the world. "
Philip pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded, and then didn't mention the event of the diamond group going bankrupt.
And following Li Changheng's train of thought, he also started to make an idea of the diamond group shares.
However, if you want Philip to leave, you must let him feel at ease.
Li Changheng smiled and said, "I am sure to find the diamonds, but if the time is too fast, then we will have nothing to do."
Philip frowned, "What I want is positive evidence, not your uncertain promises."
Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said his purpose, "How about I buy the shares of Diamond Group for you first, and trade the shares to you after the diamond is found?"
Philip's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "How many shares do you want to acquire?"
"Based on the market value of the Diamond Group of 1.6 billion pounds last month, the 40 million pounds in my hand, plus some assets mortgaged, at least 5% of the 50 million pounds!"
After Li Changheng finished speaking, he immediately added, "Of course, it would be even better if I could get 10%, but the bottom line is 5%, and the highest bid is 50 million pounds.
And, I must be given the status of a voting board member. "
"It shouldn't be a big problem." After thinking for a while, Philip said with a smile, "Now they are begging you, and it must not be calculated with a market value of 1.6 billion.
50 million 5% of the shares, equivalent to a valuation of 1 billion pounds, some talk"
After finishing speaking, Philip patted Li Changheng on the shoulder and said, "How about I come to help you negotiate, with 50 million pounds and 5% of the shares as the bottom line, as for the extra shares...".
As soon as Li Changheng heard it, he knew that Philip was trying to get rid of the extra shares.
Pretending to be contemplative for a while, he let go of his frowning brows and said, "I want 6% of the shares for 50 million, and I will donate more than 6% of the shares to the royal family's private fund."
"Just 5%," Philip sat up, and said earnestly, "Henry, the most important thing for you now is to obtain the status of a shareholder of the Diamond Group, so that you can integrate into the upper class circles in London.
Moreover, you have to set aside a portion of the cash line for me to use to bribe Lord Aston privately.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for him to let you join. "
"Okay," Li Changheng said with a embarrassed face, "However, I can only take out 40 million pounds first, and I will pay off the remaining 10 million pounds within a year."
"That's not necessary," Philip said with a smile, "If your funds are too tight, the royal family's private fund will lend you 10 million pounds."
Li Changheng looked at Philip in surprise, and heard the old man smile and say, "Based on what I have known about you for more than a year, since you dare to take out 50 million pounds.
I, who is Anne's father, will definitely support you, and seem to be taking a risk, but the risk is really small, isn't it, child? "
The first thought in Li Changheng's mind was that the old man Philip was testing himself, whether he had already found the two tons of diamonds.
So, his face darkened, he frowned and shook his head, "I can't give you a 100% guarantee, but I do have a good chance of getting those diamonds back."
Philip, who didn't find out any definite news, frowned.
Then he continued to probe, "Because of that cleaner named Hobbs?"
"That's right."
From the moment he asked Andrew to follow him into the diamond group's conference room and saw Hobbs and another security guard left behind by him, Li Changheng knew that the news would definitely reach Philip's ears.
"Only he has enough time and opportunity to steal those two tons of diamonds, and my people are now tracking them down."
Having said this, Li Changheng, who opened his eyes and told nonsense, shut up as if he had reacted, and stopped talking.
Philip immediately wondered what the hell he was looking for?
Then I thought of the three people, Zhang Tianzhi, who were staring outside the headquarters building of the Diamond Group at this time.
Is the diamond always in the headquarters building of the Diamond Group?
Philip who didn't know that Hobbs stole the diamond was not for money, but for revenge, just like the few people who knew that the diamond was stolen, he was instantly distracted by Li Changheng.
Silently thinking in my heart, those scattered diamonds and car tires in the sewer are just a way for thieves to hide their eyes and ears?
After all, half a month ago, the old banknotes were stolen from the Bank of England, and Henry's men used the sewers.
Or the diamond thieves would actually transport the diamonds directly from the sewer, but this method cannot guarantee that the vehicles transporting diamonds will not be seen by passers-by.
Even if you are unlucky, if the truck is checked by the police, it will be exposed directly.
Or, are these thieves planning to wait until one or two years after the bankruptcy of the diamond group to avoid the limelight before taking out the diamonds?
Thinking of this, Philip looked at Li Changheng in surprise and surprise.
I thought to myself, 'No wonder Henry, the little guy, is not worried about the diamond being taken away at all. Is he finding evidence that the diamond is still hidden in the Diamond Group building? '
Philip couldn't help but wonder if he should take the opportunity to leave Henry aside and talk to Lord Aston himself?
Wait, Philip, who suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this matter, rubbed his forehead and thought silently, why is this matter so weird?
He looked at Li Changheng, but within a few seconds he cursed the little fox in his heart.
However, the feeling in my heart that I had overlooked something suddenly became stronger.
What went wrong?
