45 Avoidance
"Good evening, Mr. Lin. As soon as Lin Yilong sent Gwinev away, he received a call from Kulianko, "Do you call me indirectly sometimes?"
"Good evening, is there anything I can do?" Lin Yilong replied, "Could it be that there is something wrong with my apartment?"
"May I meet with you?" said Kulenko calmly, "tomorrow morning at the Corinth Hotel, if I may." ”
The renovation of the Corinthian Hotel, located next to Whitehall, attracted the attention of the security services, and the Culenko and Corinthian Hotels, which were responsible for the development, were fine, but after all, they were located in a corner of Whitehall, especially close to the Ministry of Defence and Scotland Yard, so they had to conduct a security investigation: first the investigation of Scotland Yard and the Ministry of the Interior caused a serious delay in the progress of the whole project, and then the shutdown investigation of the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Finance finally forced Mr. Kulenko, who was trapped by various bills and insurance policies like snowflakes, to seek to sell the operating rights, although the Corinth Apartments were still under construction, but the two owners who had already paid for the project were worried.
I have to say that Mr. Kulianko is still very level, he continued to invest in this place by contacting Lin Yilong and several other new immigrants who wanted to buy apartments to obtain funds, and he bet all his worth, but when he came back to his senses, he found that this method did not ensure that he did not lose money in this project: several sudden inspections greatly delayed the progress, but the project money could not be left unpaid. As a foreigner, Mr. Kulenko certainly did not have a good chance of getting a loan, so it was logical to sell the entire project in a package.
There was no way to overcome a rival hidden in the depths, including several phone calls to the Ministry of Defence and the London Metropolitan Police, to express concerns, and it was Mr. Lin who called these departments to express his concerns as a consumer. With the background and source of funding in question, even if the plan is identified, uninterrupted review and monitoring throughout the project is indispensable. Mr. Kulianko's capital pool obviously can't withstand such a toss, and it is precisely because of the repeated delays in the construction period that apart from some Far Eastern investors who are in urgent need of investment channels, they will not make a move easily - who else is the Far Eastern investor with priority and spare money besides Lin Yilong?
The existence of the priority of share transfer, so that Lin Yilong dragged on, the more advantageous it was for him, but this degree should not be too large, once the creditors went to the court to declare bankruptcy, then the entire project will be recovered by the Collins Hotel, even if Lin Yilong's right to use the apartment is guaranteed, but this is still Lin Yilong does not want to happen.
The next day, when Lin Yilong met Mr. Kulianko, the commercial director of the Corinth Hotel and Mr. Davis, who was Lin Yilong's boss, also appeared in the conference room.
Several people shook hands with each other, and Lin Yilong and Mr. Davis glanced at each other, but neither of them could see anything in each other's eyes.
"I beg your pardon. Although he already knew Culianke's thoughts, Lin Yilong still needed to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to a certain extent, "I only received a notice last night, what are we going to talk about today?"
"That's right. "I'm going to close down, and I'm going to transfer the Corinthian Hotel Apartments project to Mr. Roberts, but since Mr. Lin is our first purchaser and investor of preference, I have no objection to making a bid to exercise the right of preemption." ”
Lin Yilong immediately made a very angry look.
"If I'm right, Mr. Kulenko has already chosen to sell this project to Mr. Roberts?" Lin Yilong asked, "and then he didn't even tell me the topic of our meeting, maybe just to come here for a formality?"
In order to prepare for business negotiations, 24-hour advance notice is usually given so that the other party can prepare, but Lin Yilong did not receive such a notice, and it is clear that Kulianko has already made his decision.
"Not really, Mr. Lin. Culenko calmly replied that he could not afford this reason, "It was a sudden decision to close the business, and this Mr. Roberts is a cash acquisition, I think Mr. Lin can understand the significance of a cash acquisition to the seller." ”
"But that's not why you didn't give notice yesterday. Lin Yilong retorted, looking at the commercial director of the Corinth Hotel and Mr. Davis watching him and Mr. Kulianko arguing and indifferent, he knew that these people were likely to have reached a consensus before this, but it would take some effort to make him succumb, "So what is Mr. Roberts's bid?"
"This is an agreement between me and Mr. Roberts, and I cannot report his offer to you, Mr. Lin. ”
"You must tell me, or I promise that either your deal with Mr. Roberts will be null and void, or I will be given financial compensation twice the purchase price. Lin Yilong replied coldly, "I believe that I will get the support of the law, and if you don't want to, I can talk to your lawyer." ”
"This Mr. Davis is my lawyer. Seeing that Lin Yilong's lawyer did not accompany Lin Yilong to "intimidate", Mr. Kulianke calmly introduced Davis to Lin Yilong.
"I hope this Mr. Davis will apply for recusal himself. Lin Yilong smiled at Mr. Kulianko, "I guess Mr. Kulianko might as well know my relationship with this Mr. Davis." ”
Mr. Kulenko looked at his lawyer very nervously: "The two of you knew each other before?"
"Yes, this Mr. Lin was my senior assistant a year ago. Mr. Davis's expression was very sour, "Mr. Lin has hired our colleagues from the Cardiff branch as his permanent adviser since the year before, so unfortunately, according to the practice principle of estoppel, I have to apply for withdrawal from this case myself, otherwise this Mr. Lin can apply to the Bar Association for recusal to force me to withdraw from the case." ”
With that, Mr. Davis got up from his seat and smiled awkwardly at Mr. Culinko, leaving Mr. Kulenko with a helpless back.
"So, Mr. Kulenko. Lin Yilong almost lay down in his chair and raised his voice proudly, "Do you want to extend the loan to find another lawyer or tell me Mr. Roberts's purchase price directly?"
The commercial representative of the Collins Hotel could not sit still, since Mr. Kulianko could not afford this cost, and any related acquisition could not unilaterally bypass Lin Yilong, it was better to "persuade" his partner to sell the project to the new investor in front of him: "Mr. Roberts bid 5 million pounds, but Mr. Kulianko will reserve the right to buy back the shares." ”
"Five million is five million!" Lin Yilong thought about it carefully, if nothing else, the price of each of the remaining apartments is around 2 million pounds, even if he pays full deed tax, his income is still a lot, "Munich standard terms, if we agree, we will sign the contract." ”
