Chapter 5: Fame and fortune
In the financial center of London's new city, a 57-story office building, by the most stable-looking Phil stepped forward, Yi dust rented half of the twenty-third floor of the office building, hung a metal smelting import and export company called 'Star' sign. Everything was completed in three days, the office is located in the place, previously is a small company's workshop, do not know because of the closure or because of what, and now walk away from the people rolled out, taking advantage of the landlord is anxious to find a new tenant of the juncture, Phil with a lower than the market price of 12% of the price of the three-year lease.
Easy dust and Fata Deo for this office space is still relatively satisfied, at least looks like a little bit of faction.
Immediately after, Yi Duan called another City of London boss, "Dear David, can you do me a favor?"
David said with a false enthusiasm, "Of course, China Yi, we're friends, it's only right that we help each other."
Yi Duan smiled habitually and said, "So, I'm going to donate 10 million pounds to the Royal College of Literature of Great Britain's archive, can you do me this favor?"
David asked in disbelief, "These things, can't you solve them on your own? Do you still need help with donations?.... Well, oh, I understand, then, you'd better prepare another five million pounds, I need to go up and down, as you know, the second half of the year is approaching, and you'd better familiarize yourself with the relevant etiquette. Also, all things must be confidential, otherwise, it's hard to see from above, you know, my relationship with them is just a little familiar with each other, they are not from our class."
Yi Duan gave a cry, hung up the phone, and showed a smile to Fata Deo, "Everything, there are still two months to go before the second half of the British royal family's ordination ceremony, getting a knighthood of Life Sir is the easiest thing to do right now."
Fata Deo's hands trembled as he laughed loudly, "According to the British royal family's practice like this, after two hundred years, the whole of Britain will have to address each other as Mr. Sir. Hahahahahahahahaha. Can it all be bought with money?"
Yi Chen revealed a sneer, "Now, many of the real decent people in England refuse to receive the ordination, but it's those of us who need to be bleached that are still happy to have a layer of aristocratic golden halo shrouded over their bodies."

Phyllis with two cups of coffee walked back, placed in the face of the two people after, along with the former putty in the body of easy dust. Yi dust heavily stroked her big hand, smiled and said: "Now, Manchester side, you also have no a very good target. That Manchester United points metal smelting private division, has been continuously profit and loss for seven years, his boss bias is ready to put him out, can no one is ready to take over. Expected his price in 90 million pounds right left, although the factory is not small, can you as long as you increase a little bit of broken boiler and so on, in the registered capital under the do something, you will be ineligible to go down the market."
Fata Deo nodded, revealing a hint of a smile, picking up the coffee, carefully controlling his trembling hands not to spill the coffee, drinking it in one gulp and said, "Our boss has really found the right person to cooperate with, able to get things done with such a fast efficiency, among our past partners, you are the first."
Yi Dust smiled, nodded heavily, and accepted his praise with a kind of innuendo that Chinese people are peculiarly devoid of.

Two months ago, Yi Dust this rogue head, Hurricane wearing a gorgeous dress, with a value of hundreds of millions of dollars of jewelry by the side of the Phiri, crowned and the small British empire of those from all walks of life outstanding people together, accepted the British king of the award of honors.
In the following to watch the ceremony Fata Deo also do not know what means to get the invitation, two eyes have narrowed into a slit, as long as Yi Chen has such a life Sir title, for their future acquisition of steel mills as well as listed, have a great benefit. After all, Britain was still a conservative country until now, and the nobility was still very powerful in their society.
Before the completion of the medal ceremony, ignoring the whispers of the reporters, Yi dust with a group of people whistling, a row of eight luxury BMW highlights his power, but whether to let those small big media reporters puzzled, have to inquire: "This is not who? Why was he honored by the King?" Of course, they would never have guessed that the chairman of a committee above the royal family of their sacred little British empire was looking at the increase of a few numbers under the fold of his own death with a smile on his face.
After leaving Buckingham Palace, Yi Chen's caravan met up with Fata Deo's caravan, and the group of people ran straight to the train station and drove towards Manchester. Everything was timed just right, not a minute was wasted, and the train left the station less than five minutes after they boarded. Fattadio seemed to have a slight peculiar cleanliness fetish and insisted on chartering a carriage.
Negotiations for the acquisition of the steel mill had been held at the public residence of their present boss.
This red-faced British fat man said in a serious manner: "Gentlemen, I'm glad you're interested in my factory. My United Smelting Company is an ancient enterprise with a history of more than a hundred years, it has a good social reputation and fame in the local area, and it also has an extremely high level of integrity in the industry, you will never regret choosing my company."
Yi Dust nonchalantly interrupted him, "Pro hate Mr. Bili, integrity or not can't be exchanged for black flowery silver. These days, only lowly business tactics as well as weak economic virtual power can turn an old honorable private company without a very bad social surplus and reputation into a hen that lays golden eggs."
Billie rolled his eyes a bit and went straight to the point, "I'm asking for one hundred and thirty million pounds for you to get the plant, land use and machinery for that company of mine, and you need to understand that this is a very reasonable asking price."
Yi dust whistled, very unconcerned paralyzed under the sofa and said, "According to the scale of your private company, as well as the cost of those machines to say, well, you want to ask for a little lower is also not reasonable."
Pleased, Bili let out a harrumph and said, "So, my dear, are you ready to sign the agreement now?"
Fata Deo smiled nervously as he watched the pig-like Bili being toyed with by the sinister Yi Chen.
Easy Dust balked, "No, I will never buy your company for 130 million dollars. He is not worth that price, and your company is definitely not worth that price."
Bili's pride seemed to have been hurt as he violently stood up, "Sir, you are talking too much."
Without waiting for him to finish, Yi Chen grunted, "Your right to use the land will expire in less than five years. Your factory building is in shambles, your machines are old products from twenty years ago, and even your workers. Dear God, if your factory had a group of competent and hardworking workers, would it have lost money for seven years in a row? If your company was doing well, would you have sold it to us?"
Billie opened his mouth, "You.... How much are you prepared to offer?" At this moment, the pig-like Bili's eyes flashed a fox-like gaze.
Yi dust said: "eighty million pounds, a price, there is no any negotiable, either you sell to me, or you find another buyer."
Bili flies slowly shaking his head, "No way, your bid is too hard, you absolutely have the law to accept, then, you have no nothing bad to talk about."
Yi Dust tilted his head to look at Bili, revealing a wacky smile, "What if, what if I take it along with the bill in your hand? What if, what if I receive it along with the labor union of your factory? Your factory, the amount of debt in the amount of about 20 million; Also, according to the general acquisition contract, the new boss has the right not to accept the previous workers, then, do you think the thousands of workers in your factory will look for your trouble or look for me? How do you think the Manchester District Court will pronounce its judgment?"
Yi dust flies slowly stood up and said, "Forget it, since Mr. Bili is not willing, then you guys go, anti-bias your acquisition of the object is very few and far between, do not necessarily have to acquire Mr. Bili's."
Bili flew forward a few steps, fawningly smiled and pulled Yi Dust's hand, "Sir, let's discuss it more carefully. Do you mean, together with the company's debts? Together with taking over those workers?"
Yi Dust nodded.
In the end, Bili asked for an extra three million pounds, and his tiny steel mill changed hands to the smelting company that Yi Dust and Fata Deo's bosses had joined forces to hold.
Did not pay attention to Bili invited them to attend the dinner, easy dust escorted him directly to the sky court and so on a series of phase open government departments, a late time, Bili's joint branch smelting plant sign changed into 'star' metal smelting retreat export private sector. At the same time, the members of the trade union of the heavenly party supervised the whole process of acquisition, they are very satisfied with the idea that Yi dust did not dismiss any worker, and at the same time also very generous to send a month's salary of the amount of money.
Yi Dust stayed in Manchester for a week, and Fattadio brought a few financial experts to take stock of the value of the factory, and then reported the total value of the reorganized assets by all sorts of unlawful means. Yi dust mouth said Russia has a huge investment will soon be to the account, so Manchester local industrial and commercial bosses surprised to see the old Bili that broken steel plant, reorganization of self-produced total of two billion pounds of shocking figures.
Yi dust in the hotel satisfied with these statements, smiled and said: "These statements as long as the sky party under the approval up, you can apply directly to the market, for the stock market you indeed do not whether very familiar, so, will rely on you all."
The Russians with big faces said proudly, "Don't worry, Mr. Yi, we will never let go of the British market which is so rich in oil and water. We have never made a mistake with this portfolio, your investment is definitely guaranteed."
Yi Dust revealed a hint of a smile and smiled as he said to Fata Deo, "Pro hate, your top subordinate is very unconfident. Well, of course, you want such self-confidence to be retained to the forefront. The Chinese are an impolite people, so they won't do anything out of the ordinary to their friends, but you're an anomaly among the Chinese, so you'll warn us in advance, and true to form, if any of your investments appear out of the ordinary, you'll simply take out our bosses first, and then play fast and loose with us."
Fata Deo smiled a little awkwardly, "Mr. Yi, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Yi Duan nodded, stood up and went, "I hope so. We in Russia still haven't conquered Chechnya yet, if you send someone to put down a hundred bombs in our boss's sky dish, what do I think will happen? So, with the money you've invested, there can be absolutely no mistakes. After all, it's not easy to earn hard money these days."
Fata Deo nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, don't worry, I can understand you."
Yi dust satisfied smile up to go: "Then, very bad, you have to come to solve a on that 20 million owed single problem, people find under the door to owe debts, you can not ignore, no no? Can, 20 million is also not money, especially when you occupy 45% of the shares outside, you do not want to wrongly out of 9 million pounds, so can only personally go. Gore, get the car ready to break down."
Fata Deo waited for Yi Duan to go out and then instructed a few financial experts in a low voice, "You guys be careful, if something goes wrong this time, no need for the boss to step in and take you out, all of us have no way to leave the UK, this guy is ruthless, moreover, even the biggest families in Moscow can't figure out his bottom line, you guys understand?"
A few moustaches even nodded their heads in agreement.

The next door to collect the debt of a public bank of the day, Bili once because of the operation of the problem, lent them 20 million pounds as working capital, used to pay the workers' salaries, coal payments and so on. Now see than the private company changed the boss, they have no point heart to slow, even idle down the door to recover. Although heard of the new boss of the virtual strength of the strong, can after all, the mall below the fraud case is too little, the ground only know whether it will be any problem. They trust than the force of this Manchester born and bred boss, do not trust these go from London 'Cockney'.
Easy dust in the bank's general manager's office met with their boss, open to the point: "We hope that, waiting for our smelter back to normal operation before returning to your bank to give us 20 million loans."
The bank's boss was in no point of difficulty, "Pro-hate Mr. Yi, the request you said, false in whether...."
Easy dust smile: "Mr. Green, your business is an old bank with a very good reputation, I believe you will not be anxious because of the district 20 million pounds, right?"
The pure and thick Green nodded his head and said, "20 million pounds is not a problem, can you, you must be responsible for your depositors. In vain, for Mr. Bili, although you know that he operates under some problems, can he after all, whether you Tianfang under the well-known person, you trust him. And you, from going to have no and your bank has not had any interaction, you to your integrity is still not 0, your board of directors will not be assured.".
Easy Dust interrupted his chatter, "Aha, dear Mr. Green, did you say integrity? Integrity? Well, how much integrity do you think your homeland, the Holy British Empire, possesses?"
Sure enough, like any conservative, orthodox English gentleman, Greene stood up, waved his hands in agitated silence and said, "The hated little British Empire? Is his integrity limited, is he a great little holy empire, do you doubt her integrity?"
Yi Duan raised his eyebrows and smiled shamelessly, "Well, what do you think about the nobles of the British Empire?"
Grimm smiled, "They are all no low noble persons, their integrity because of the small British Empire, also no limited. They are no gentlemen, gentlemen no will not give up their heavenly position and dignity because of a little bit of money."
Yi Duan laughed, "Then, do you think that I, such a British Empire officer medalist, a life knight of the British Empire, will give up my position and honor because of a district of 20 million pounds?"
Green looked at Yi Duan with a dumbfounded and open mouth: "Yes.... I'm sorry, you, are you not a Life Sir? Earth ah, sorry, you do not know, you, do you false no..."
Easy Dust carefully pulled out his medal from within his inner chest pocket, the iron piece that probably cost around 100 pounds to manufacture, but was kept by Easy Dust in a very valuable crystal case, Easy Dust smiled and said, "I have just received the Great Queen's investiture, and have the honor of being included in the ranks of Sir of the British Empire for life. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show it off with it on my person, but because, for the sake of business, I rushed straight here after accepting the medal. To show my respect for the British Empire's royal family, I purposely attached it to my chest for storage."
Green looked at the medal enviously, nodded and said, "You believe in your false power, can you, Mr. Yi, how are you going to explain it to the board?"
Yi Duan pondered for a while, smiled and slightly shook the medal in his hand, and said with a smile, "How about this, you place an advertisement in the local newspaper, saying that in order to support our company's operation, your bank invested 100 million pounds into the business, and you actually only need to invest 80 million pounds. Of course, when you sign the agreement with us, we will return your loan at a certain interest return rate, which is good for both of us. Our large investment has yet to arrive, and your investment will be our most recent start-up capital."
Grimm pondered this for a long time.
Three bells later, Green's bank passed Yi Dust's proposal, Yi Dust guaranteed to give them a certain interest rate in return, while Green's bank's good reputation in the local area of Manchester invariably added to the residual and integrity of Yi Dust's new company.
Off Green's bank before, Yi dust skimmed a mouth, that just now also looked more valuable than the box containing medals casually thrown under the seat, lit up a cigar and said: "Fake or not strange, these people do not know, the so-called pompous real name, reputation is not real, only no false interstices of the interests of whether or not the most ugly and wonderful?"
A group of subordinates laughed and laughed.
In any case, no Green's bank so a by easy dust of the fan soup pulled past the backing, a few days ago in Manchester operation to go, everything is bad to do less.
