"Suri, my female classmate!" The moment Merlin said the word classmate, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if... he also had classmates.
But it was obvious that Suri would not simply agree. She pressed her hair behind her ears, exposing half of her pink cheeks and neck, and patted Merlin shyly, "She's my girlfriend!"
As a self-proclaimed fashionista, Su Rui could tell at a glance that the price of the clothes Du Lin was wearing was definitely not something she could accept, nor could she imagine. Every tailor has his own pride, especially those who work at the top of the empire's upper class. Although they are not great rich people or officials, their status is enough to call them celebrities.
Among them, there are many top tailors who have made clothes for the royal family for generations, as well as those who make clothes for the nobles. These people have their own pride, so they use methods on their works that are invisible to outsiders. Let’s point out the provenance of this dress.
For example, the Orne family, the most prestigious in the tailoring world, once made eight sets of imperial uniforms for six emperors for court meetings. The heirs of this generation of Orne family will use a different color on the sword collar of the clothes than the background color of the clothes. The color of the number embroiders an almost invisible crown.
Some people also make fuss about the buttons. For example, the button of Dulin's coat has a platinum metal ring in the middle, with blue agate flakes inside to hold down the threads. The custom-made price of this dress is about 2,000. The tailor only accepts two orders a month, and he must be a person with status and status.
All of Dulin's clothing and accessories are carefully designed from top to bottom. Dove handles the specific work. He only needs to pay and wear the clothes. Just such a set of clothes already costs more than 5,000 yuan.
It’s not like Suri had never seen a man who bought a good car for five thousand yuan, but she had never seen him so close, so she acted very humble, even humble.
Du Lin patted Merlin's arm and winked, "I thought you would encounter a little trouble in life, but it seems that your life is much better than I imagined."
While the three of them were talking, a driver in a suit and leather shoes walked to their side about five meters away. When they had finished talking, the driver walked over, bent over and lowered his head, "Du Mr. Lin, Mr. Jack knew that you were coming to Namirindes, so he arranged for me to pick you up. Mr. Jack held a small banquet for you. I hope you can come here. "
He really didn't expect that Mr. Jack would know that he had arrived in Namirindes. He remembered not telling Mr. Jack about it, but since the other party came to invite him openly, he couldn't refuse. Especially after he had a phone call with the king, he had no reason to refuse.
After meeting Mr. Jack last time, Dulin had a phone call with the leader of the poker organization, the guy codenamed King, the next day. The other party was very interested in his plan and was willing to spend 30 million to participate in the plan. But the king also had a request. No matter how many times Dulin realized profits, he only needed ten times, and the time limit was five years. After five years, Du Lin must pay at least 150 million in return, and no more than 300 million at most. Any more will belong to Du Lin and has nothing to do with them.
Caution and a certain amount of courage facilitated the transaction, and the money was quickly transferred into Du Lin's bearer account in the bank, which also made Du Lin take a high look at the other party.
Being able to get 30 million in just two transactions is enough to show that Dulin's status in the minds of some people is quite high. Not everyone's credit is worth 30 million!
Now that the two parties have closer cooperation and Mr. Jack comes to pick him up, Dulin is relieved. As one of the largest underground money laundering bookmakers in the West, it is really easy to know what tickets a person has booked.
"Want to come together?" Dulin looked at Merlin and explained by the way, "Mr. Jack is a good friend of mine. It should be an ordinary party tonight, there won't be too many irrelevant people."
While Merlin was thinking about it, Suri looked at Merlin expectantly. The pleading in his eyes matched the vivid expression on his face perfectly. Merlin finally nodded.
After the three people boarded the car, the luxurious motorcade quickly left the station amidst people's attention. Mr. Jack has an office in Namirindes. He has not always lived here. His real residence is in the imperial capital. Bian controls the entire situation of the organization within the empire.
The convoy left the city after driving for almost twenty minutes, entered the suburbs, and soon entered a carefully repaired green avenue. The leafy trees on both sides of the road fill the road with dappled sunshine, giving people a very poetic and picturesque feeling. After driving for almost five minutes, the convoy stopped outside an antique castle. This is Mr. Jack's residence in Namirinds, and it is also one of the real estate resources invested by the organization.
Before getting out of the car, Dulin saw Mr. Jack leading three strangers to greet them outside the gate of the castle building. Mr. Jack even opened the car door for Dulin after the car stopped. This was not a big deal. Ordinary little things. Every behavior of the upper class has been given a special meaning, which even Dulin did not expect.
"You're too polite!" Du Lin shook hands with Mr. Jack after getting out of the car. "This makes me a little uneasy. You're not preparing anything, are you?"
It was obviously a joke, and Mr. Jack and the gentlemen behind him laughed because Doolin guessed correctly.
"I'll..." Mr. Jack was just about to introduce the three people behind him to Du Lin when he noticed two more people getting out of the car, a young and handsome boy and a sweet-looking girl. He was a little surprised and looked towards Dulin. He thought Dulin was the only one.
"This is my brother, my biological brother, Merlin, and that is his girlfriend, Suri." Du Lin introduced him briefly. He didn't need too much explanation. He brought Merlin here in the hope that he could gain some knowledge. , which will be of great benefit to him to be exposed to more things in the future.
After Mr. Jack greeted them, he continued to introduce Dulin. He turned slightly sideways to make a space to highlight the status of the first person behind him. This person looked to be in his fifties and was silver-white. The hair has traces of perm and looks very fluffy. However, he still looks very young. There are no too many wrinkles on his face except for crow's feet. His muscles are very plump and his skin is very shiny. "This is Mr. Vicky, one of the directors of the Imperial Central Bank."
Dulin was stunned for a moment, then immediately stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Vicky."
Mr. Veitch also greeted Dulin and said with the same smile, "Jack said one less word. I'm just the vice chairman."
"That is also a great status. After all, the central bank is the largest economy in the empire. I am very happy to meet you here!" Dulin would not think that he lacked power just because he said the word "vice". In the central bank of the empire, The person with the most power is the chairman, but in fact it is the vice-chairmen who are responsible for daily operations. The chairman is the decision-maker, and the vice-chairman is the executor. It seems that he doesn't have much say, but in fact it is quite scary.
The person who makes the decision can never know whether the person who implements it will increase or decrease something when implementing his decision.
After the two let go, Vicky moved slightly to the side and made room for the second gentleman. Mr. Jack still played his role and introduced the second guest to Dulin in detail, "This is Angus, Speaker of the Chamber of Commerce, currently presides over all matters of the Chamber of Commerce.”
Angus looked much older than Vicky, almost seventy years old, not tall, with thinning hair and a lot of age spots on his face. The bags under his eyes were droopy, and he looked as if he hadn't woken up. Time had left too many marks on his face, making him look very old.
He was leaning on a cane. When he smiled, he could only see the corners of his mouth rising, but the muscles on his face still drooped and did not move at all. "Mr. Dulin, I have heard too many people tell you about your deeds. It’s really amazing and can be said to be one of the most successful businessmen in recent years. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to meet you like this. This is my lucky day!”
The little old man was very talkative, and Du Lin also complimented him politely. The power of the Chamber of Commerce was still very terrifying. At the same time, Du Lin also became curious about the identity of the third person.
Only this time, Mr. Jack did not take the initiative to introduce Dulin, but the third gentleman took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand, "Paul from the Imperial Treasury, you can just call me Paul."
Although Du Lin reached out and shook hands with him, he looked at Jack.
He was not surprised that the vice chairman of the Imperial Bank of China was here, nor was he surprised that the chairman of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was here. What was strange to him was when Mr. Jack had a relationship with the Imperial Ministry of Finance. You must know that the people who hate Mr. Jack and poker the most are probably the Imperial Treasury and the General Administration of Taxation. Every year, a large amount of black money is laundered through their methods and escapes taxation. But Dulin soon understood that the most important step in laundering the black money was to pay taxes. Perhaps this could explain why Mr. Jack let Paul appear here.
After introducing everyone's identities, they entered the castle together. Mr. Jack was a little behind, walking at the back with Dulin.
"What the hell are you doing?" Du Lin was a little unhappy, "Be careful I turn against you!"
