Allen came to Allman Manor with his elder brother Harry. He had never been here before, and now he has this opportunity because of Li Xiao. However, he couldn't be happy at all. His brother told him repeatedly that no matter how the other party humiliated him, he had to put down his airs and try to get the other party's understanding as much as possible. Some non-excessive requirements can also meet them.
It was not easy for the Dimari family to get through this crisis smoothly, and they could no longer continue to make enemies. Unless the girls they send over at that time can get the favor of the two grand dukes and replace Li Xiao's position.
"Do you remember what I said?" Harry asked again. He still knows Alan's character quite well, and he knows that he takes his own face very seriously.
Allen nodded with a sullen face, "I know." He will endure it, and then deeply engrave this humiliation in his bones, and wait until a certain day in the future to return it back ten times and a hundred times.
Harry suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I remember you mentioned to me before that you bought a very effective ointment in Huaguo, did you get the formula?"
The Dimari family also has its own skin care brand, but unfortunately it cannot compete with other famous brands, and its market share is negligible. If the so-called formula is really as miraculous as Allen said, then the Dimari family who got the formula may divide up this mouth-watering cake. The two archdukes took a step back. Only with more money can one have a greater voice. In addition, a candidate recently supported by the Dimari family is in a critical period of election, and a lot of money is also needed in this process.
Allen nodded, "Jiayin used the ointment, and I saw the changes that the ointment brought to her with my own eyes, as if she was blessed by God." That's why he missed this thing. Allen has been used to seeing good things since he was a child, and he wears the best products, but even skin care products with expensive raw materials do not have such visible effects. He has also had people test the formula, and there are no toxic and harmful ingredients and some banned chemicals. Obviously, the measured results are some safe and common components, but the effect is surprisingly good.
He added, "I asked someone to investigate the owner of the ointment. It's just a young girl with no background, and she didn't even go to school. I guess she tried it out with an ancestral prescription. You know, Huaguo There's always something mysterious about it."
Like that kind of country girl who has not gone to school, it is easy to be coaxed over, and then just send the other party with some money and coax the other party to sign the contract.
If the other party is unwilling, they can also use some secret means.
Harry's face softened a lot. If Alan can successfully facilitate this matter and establish credit, he will also have an explanation in front of the rest of the family. He invested a lot of effort in Allen and tilted family resources on him, which has already caused dissatisfaction among many members.
When the car was approaching the Allman Manor, the two brothers stopped the topic.
The two got out of the car, and the Allman Manor did not allow the car to be driven in. Under the guidance of the waiter, the two walked into this medieval-style house. Compared with the manor of Grand Duke Smith, the manor of Allman has a stronger sense of precipitation of the years. The atmosphere of the whole manor is very peaceful and distant, as if time has stopped.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the hall and went in. They saw Li Xiao making tea there with a relaxed posture. Grand Duke Johnson was not there, leaving the space for them.
Harry took off his hat, put it on his chest, and gave a slight greeting. He has always been impeccable in this kind of etiquette on the surface, but in Li Xiao's eyes, it is the so-called gold and jade, and the two brothers only have faces to see.
Allen looked guilty, and looked at Xu Manqin with those peach blossom eyes, with affection, "I am very sorry for the harm I caused you, and I hope you can forgive me for my previous offense."
Li Xiao's face turned dark immediately, this man actually had the nerve to seduce her mother, and he didn't even look at what kind of thing he was. He thought her mother was Yingyingyanyan who would come to him with just a wink
Xu Manqin calmly said, "Sure, as long as you compensate me for the loss, I will forgive you." After seeing too many shameless people, I got used to it.
Alan frowned slightly. Xu Manqin in his impression was as proud as a queen, and he didn't even bother to negotiate terms with them.
"My company had a bright future at that time, and I won several large international orders. If it weren't for being suppressed by you, I would already have tens of billions of assets. I don't ask much, just pay me 30 billion. Don't be nervous. It is the currency of our country."
Harry, who was quiet next to him, couldn't hold back his expression—30 billion, why didn't she daydream
Li Xiao's eyelids twitched. Ruthless is still her mother's ruthless, she just doubled, and her mother directly doubled.
Allen laughed angrily, "You are robbing."
The corners of Xu Manqin's lips curled up slightly, and she was still full of manners. Even the pickiest person couldn't find any mistakes in her etiquette. Don't give up."
Allen choked for a moment, and changed the subject, "30 billion, impossible!" This money is equivalent to one-twelfth of the assets of the Dimari family, and it is simply cutting his flesh.
Xu Manqin didn't rush, "It's okay, we can take our time to file a lawsuit. I'm not Wei Jingjing, I can let you decide. I recently accepted a few talk shows, such as the Ola talk show..."
She talked about a few shows, all of which were competitors of the Dimarui family. She also knew that if Xu Manqin often appeared on the show to gain a sense of presence, the Dimarui family would definitely make a fuss.
He looked at his elder brother with a sullen face—he had no right to make decisions when it came to such a large amount of money.
"You should know that even if you go to court, you won't be able to get such a large amount of compensation." Harry said in a deep voice.
"Yes, but when the time comes, I can help you publicize what you have done, I am happy."
Xu Manqin acted as if he was going all out to drag down their family's reputation, Harry really couldn't ignore it. If the mother and daughter cooperate with their competitors, it will become the sharpest knife to stab them. If you drink with them smoothly, and if the marketing operation is good at that time, you can achieve the reputation of the family knowing their mistakes, being able to correct them, and actively compensating.
He suddenly remembered something, a strange smile appeared on his face,
So next, Li Xiao watched her mother and Harry fight each other, and the final compensation amount was set at 20 billion, but most of it was mortgaged with real estate to reduce the loss of the Dimari family.
Li Xiao had to admit that her mother was better at negotiating. For example, although she proposed to pay so much compensation at the beginning, she also knew that she could only get more than 10 billion at most, and she really didn't expect it to be so smooth.
After reaching a preliminary verbal agreement, Harry expressed the need to go back and persuade other family members, and then left the manor with his younger brother.
…
In the car, Allen's tone was filled with uncontrollable anger, "It's enough to compensate her a few hundred million at most, you are giving her too much face."
There was murderous intent in Harry's cold voice, and the smile on the corner of his lips was without any warmth, "Just give her the house in the row of houses near the river in the East District, and it depends on whether she has her life."
East End
When Allen heard this word, he suddenly realized, and then he understood why his brother would compromise so easily. There are many ghosts trapped in the row of houses in the East District. The Dimari family has used all means for the family business for hundreds of years. No matter how glamorous it is on the surface, it has also stained many lives behind the scenes. In the past, he had an ancestor who was killed by a vengeful spirit. That's why you and the others paid attention to this aspect before. At that time, my great-grandfather paid a lot of money to invite a mage to come over, chose a land in the eastern district, and built a row of houses.
That row of houses has been empty for more than a hundred years, just to trap those resentful spirits inside. Since then, they have acted more and more unscrupulously, and they are not afraid of the revenge of the wraith. In the past, the Dimari family would use these houses to obtain loans from the bank. After all, both the location and the houses there looked very good, and the valuation could be higher.
His original anger was swept away, and there were a lot of houses, and they could add up to two-thirds of the money. When the time comes when their mother and daughter live there and something happens, that's what he likes to see. If they don't live, sell it to others, and commit a murder, they can make a fuss about it and make them lose their skin.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xiao's mother and daughter are already equivalent to dead people in his eyes. At that time, they will use another method to get these properties back.
After the two brothers went back, they quickly called the family members and held a meeting.
The reasons Harry gave easily convinced the others, and a consensus was quickly reached. The Dimari family has its own team of lawyers, and the contract was drafted quite quickly.
On February 2, Alan took Li Xiao and Xu Manqin to see those houses in the East District.
Allen said: "The house prices in the vicinity have been rising continuously in the past two years, and you will definitely not suffer."
Li Xiao sighed, "Having more houses is a good thing, but the tax here is not low."
Tsk, I have to pay a lot of taxes every year. Forget it, when the time comes, most of the house will be sold for money, and a few houses will be enough.
The corner of Alan's mouth twitched, and he changed the subject abruptly, "I'll take you in to have a look."
It's daytime now, those wraiths can't do anything, night is their active time. He also wears the cross blessed by the priest, as long as he doesn't come at night, he is fearless.
When Li Xiao entered the room, she saw a foreign female ghost covered in blood. Her eyeballs had been gouged out, and blood flowed from her eye sockets. She just stared at them with empty eye sockets, not ordinary shabby.
Although Xu Manqin couldn't see it, he felt that the room seemed to be colder than the outside.
Next, Allen led their mother and daughter to look over each building, and Li Xiao also saw all kinds of ghosts. Some have their tongues cut off, some have broken limbs, and some have holes all over their bodies. Every ghost died miserably, and they were all trapped in the house, immersed in hatred day after day, resulting in very strong resentment.
After viewing all the houses, Li Xiao quickly agreed to use these houses to mortgage part of the money. Xu Manqin also took the contract back, and was going to ask his lawyer to see if there was anything missing. If not, the two parties will formally sign the contract.
Allen watched the backs of their mother and daughter leaving, and heaved a sigh of relief—it seemed that they were willing to take down these houses.
He waited to see what would happen to them!
He couldn't help showing his first sincere smile in the past few days.
…
At the same time, Li Xiao was also feeling with his mother: "Their brothers are really good people who are in a hurry."
She originally thought that it would take some time to find the victims, and then liberate those victims, giving them a chance for revenge. Unexpectedly, the Dimari family was so caring and sent those victims directly to her. She will definitely live up to their expectations! These two days can just help those wraiths.
Xu Manqin took the weird smile on her daughter's face into her eyes, shook her head helplessly, with a doting expression on her face, "You child, what bad idea are you thinking of again?"
Li Xiaoyi said rightly: "No, I'm thinking of doing good things."
Hey, if she helps solve many murder cases by then, can the country M government send her a few more pennants? She really wanted to compare their pennant with Hua Guo's to see if there was any difference.
The author has something to say: Li Xiao: This is buy one get one free! Buy a house and send Wraiths away!
Li Xiao, a strange woman who is keen on collecting pennants!
I think my article is really positive!
