Fortunately, Attorney Mueller was very open-minded. He said: "Let's do this, Mayor Wang. Seeing that you seem to be short of money now, I won't take your money for the time being and pay it back to me when you have money."
Wang Bo immediately cited lawyer Mueller as his old friend. Who said that lawyers in capitalist countries are all vampires? Look here, there is a good man like Bethune!
It was a pity that Attorney Mueller did not give him a chance to get to know each other deeply. After the taxi left the slum, he changed cars and left.
For dinner, they had Omarama's special black pepper chicken rolls. This is made by boiling the broiler chicken, taking out the meat and letting it coagulate naturally, then adding spices and mixed starch and rolling it into a roll with a rolling machine, then deep-frying, and finally Place in the refrigerator to chill before serving.
This kind of chicken roll is very suitable for eating in hot weather. It is fragrant, tender and relieves the heat. Wang Bo has been eating this kind of stuff in the past few nights.
Charlie followed suit and ate the chicken rolls. After eating, he sucked his fingers and said, "Lao Wang, are you short of money?"
Charlie nodded and said: "Actually, I forgot to mention something..."
Wang Bo's mouth movements suddenly stopped and he looked at Charlie in horror: "Who else does the old man owe money?"
Charlie rolled his eyes and said: "This time it's not about owing money, but about making money. I wanted to tell you this when I went to the castle last time, but the haunting scared me and I forgot about it. You know, Even if these nobles are ruined, they still have a few valuable things in their hands, and I happen to know one."
When he heard that it was not a matter of owing money, Lao Wang felt relieved and continued to devour.
As for Charlie's words, he didn't believe it: "It's not new, it's just like my previous insight..."
"Swallow it and then talk. I can't hear you clearly."
"I mean, I don't believe it. If you have something valuable, why don't you sell it instead of borrowing a loan shark?" Wang Bo stretched his neck and said, choking.
Charlie said: "For example, if you have no money in Beijing and your parents leave you a family heirloom or your ex-girlfriend once gave you a gold ring, will you sell these treasures or borrow a loan shark?"
"I'll definitely sell these things and I'll borrow an egg loan shark!"
Charlie was also choked. He blinked and finally decided not to reason with simple-minded people like Lao Wang. He waved his hands and said: "Sir Roberts has the dignity of a nobleman. Anyway, he would rather borrow money than sell this red wine." The box is in your hands now, it’s up to you to decide.”
Leaders of various countries have a symbolic object. For example, the president of the United States is Air Force One, the president of South Korea is a Hyundai sedan, the supreme leader of North Korea is fat and big-eared, and the symbolic objects of the British Prime Minister and ministers are red secret boxes.
The history of British leaders carrying red boxes to work can be traced back to 1860. The original red box was introduced in 1860 by Gladstone, who served as the British Prime Minister four times. For more than 150 years, the red box has been used as the briefcase of British officials. .
Sir Roberts has such a red box in his hand, and his red box has a great origin. It was given to him by Mrs. Thatcher, the most legendary iron lady in modern British history, so this red box is destined to be priceless. .
Charlie introduced to Wang Bo that many Chinese people know that Mrs. Thatcher’s first visit to China in 1982 opened a new era of diplomacy between China and Britain in the modern history. But few people know that Mrs. Thatcher did not go back after her visit to China, but subsequently visited New Zealand.
When the British Prime Minister or the British royal family visit a British country, if there are any remaining nobles in the country, they will be accompanied by the nobles. At that time, Mrs. Thatcher was accompanied by Sir Roberts.
At that time, Jazz's financial situation was very bad. He had been using a somewhat worn suitcase when he accompanied Thatcher on her visit to New Zealand. So when the Iron Lady ended her visit, she thanked Sir for accompanying him all the way, and gave him the red box she used as a thank-you gift.
Sir regarded this box as the glory of his family. From the day he obtained it, many political collectors were interested in this box, but he never sold it and kept the box in his collection.
After listening to the introduction, Wang Bo asked: "Is there anyone who wants to buy this box now?"
Charlie nodded and said: "Yes, an auction house in Wellington wants to accept this box. If you are willing to sell it, I can contact you."
"How much are they willing to pay?"
Charlie thought for a while and said: "About two years ago, on the first anniversary of Mrs. Thatcher's death, a charity auction of her belongings was held in London, and another red box she used was sold for about 250,000 pounds. That's $530,000, which is the price the buyer is willing to pay."
"Is this the price quoted by the auction house to Jazz? Why didn't Jazz sell it?" Wang Bo asked.
"I don't know." Charlie shrugged.
Lao Wang put down the unfinished chicken roll, looked at the rising moon with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "Actually, I know the reason. For the old knight, this box is the dignity of his family and his own personality. He has already He lives a rough life, and his family has almost nothing. He can only use the remaining things to maintain his dignity and prevent his personality from disintegrating... "
"What do you mean, I don't understand."
"It means that 530,000 won't work. This box of mine has witnessed a major event in the history of Sino-British diplomacy! 800,000, if the auction house is willing to pay this price, then take it, otherwise there is no need to discuss it! Also tell them, the issue of sovereignty , non-negotiable! The bottom line of personality is non-negotiable!" After saying that, Lao Wang started to compete with the chicken roll again. This thing is really delicious.
The transaction of the red box cannot be completed in a short time. Charlie promised to help him ask. After receiving the letter, they went to the castle during the day to take out the box, so that Wang Bo would have money.
Thinking of the fact that the castle was haunted, Lao Wang couldn't help but shed tears at Huanjun Mingzhu.
What is the most painful thing for a house slave? It's definitely because I have a house but can't live in it. So what's the most painful thing? I have a castle but I can’t live in it!
After eating the cold but fragrant chicken rolls, the two of them strolled back. When they passed an oak tree, several dolls suddenly ran over. A little loli raised her head and asked Charlie timidly: "Uncle,... Our ********** is hung on the tree, can you help us pick it off?”
The little Loli looks about five or six years old, wearing a milky white tutu skirt and cartoon slippers. Her smooth short black hair is styled into a ponytail, with a big yellow bow hanging behind her head.
Her cheeks were plump and tender, like a little bun. The long eyelashes are blinking gently, and the big eyes are moist and shiny. At this moment, the two fleshy little hands are twisted in front of the chest. They are as cute as they want, and the cute Wang Bo's heart is sweet.
But what really attracted Lao Wang was that he felt that the little Loli seemed to have Chinese ancestry. She had the kind of cute look that could be easily recognized as a mixed race. Her facial contours were very three-dimensional. Judging from her skin color, she should be of mixed race. , and the yellow race may be Chinese in blood.
