(Bow and thank you for the commuter pass support of "Book Friends 17853788"!)

"Isn't it good news?" Zhou Mingle said in the face of old Brooke's words, "I don't think so, after all, it seems that there will be no worse news for me now, so since there is no worse news, the next will be good news for me." ”

Zhou Ming said and deliberately looked Old Brooke up and down and said, "And I never think that anyone can spit out any ivory from his dog's mouth, even if he is some kind of bullshit senior senator." ”

"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming's mouth is still so indebted. Old Brooke gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Ming.

"Senator Brooke, if you have something to say, can you say something as soon as possible? If it's okay, don't be an eyesore in front of me, or I have the right to ask you to get out of here. Zhou Ming said.

Old Brooke laughed again at this time: "I said Zhou Ming, you can act, you have fallen into the river now, but you still dare to threaten the people on the shore, but forget it, I don't care about you, but there is one thing I think I have to tell you, that is, please give me five million dollars as soon as possible, because my employees need this money." ”

Old Brooke said and took a document from his lawyer and showed it in front of Zhou Ming, saying: "Chinese, you are optimistic, this is the medical insurance contract that my employees bought from you, and now they have serious infectious diseases and are hospitalized, as the general person in charge of the company, I have the right to find an insurance company for them to make a unified claim." According to my company's accounting calculations, the cost of this treatment will be at least $5 million. ”

"Five million dollars? That's not a lot of money. Zhou Ming said lightly.

Old Brooke was a little surprised by Zhou Ming's calmness, but Old Brooke continued without changing his face: "Perhaps, this money is indeed not much for Mr. Zhou Ming, but five million US dollars is only our most conservative estimate, but if according to the continuation of treatment and the maximum insurance amount stipulated in the contract, I think the final figure may reach eight million to nine million US dollars." ”

Old Brooke's words were proud, in his opinion, the number he threw out was very exaggerated, no matter what insurance company would feel a headache in the face of this number, Zhou Ming would naturally be no exception. However, the result still disappointed him, and Zhou Ming just let out an absent-minded sigh.

This made Old Brooke very unacceptable, he didn't understand what Zhou Ming was thinking at all, you must know that eight million to nine million dollars is already a very high claim figure, and it is almost up to the upper limit of the contract, aren't you in a hurry at all?

"Isn't it nine million dollars, it doesn't matter if you add another nine million dollars or even another nineteen million dollars or 190 million, because I don't have any, or I won't give you a penny. Zhou Ming said very shamelessly.

This answer made Old Brooke almost vomit blood, he couldn't have imagined that Zhou Ming would give such a scoundrel answer, before he felt that although he didn't understand Zhou Ming's thoughts, but this was not a problem, after all, if you want to give money, I will keep it, but how could he have thought that Zhou Ming would actually pop out a sentence You can say as much as you like, anyway, I just don't have money?

Compared with Old Brooke's madness, his lawyer Sapiro was very calm, he calmed Old Brooke's emotions a little, and then came out to Zhou Ming and said: "This Mr. Zhou Ming, right? I don't think we have met for the first time, I am Mr. Brooke's lawyer, my name is Sapiro, I think I can help you solve the crisis in front of you." ”

"According to Massachusetts law, if your insurance company is no longer able to settle your claims, you can file for bankruptcy in court, but the insurance company is not allowed to go bankrupt, so your company will be acquired by another insurance company, and all your policies will be handed over to the acquirer who bought your company, which means that the money will be paid for you by the next insurance company. Sapiro explained to Zhou Ming.

"But I don't have any intention of bankrupting the company, and I don't want to give you a penny. Zhou Ming said.

Sapiro smiled: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm sorry, your idea is not valid from a legal point of view, because we have the contract, and now all the employees who have signed contracts with Wharton Insurance Company are indeed admitted to the hospital, and we have the right to claim compensation." ”

"Of course, you can continue to refuse the claim and maliciously embezzle the insurance money," Sapiro continued, "but then we can choose to sue ......."

Julie stood up at this time and said: "Lawyer Sapiro, please wait a moment, you may have misunderstood Mr. Zhou Ming's meaning, he is not trying to refuse the claim, but now we have just received your claim application, we need a certain amount of time to investigate, in addition, I think you have also seen that the current situation of our insurance company is more troublesome, there will be certain difficulties in the claim, we need time to ......"

Before Julie could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Sapiro: "According to Massachusetts law, the maximum investigation time of the insurance company shall not exceed three days according to a major medical situation, which is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of patients. As for your difficulties, it has nothing to do with us, because we have only purchased an insurance contract from you, and you have to fulfill the contract, and anything else has nothing to do with us, as long as it is not listed in the contract. ”

Old Brook took Sapiro's words and said, "So Chinese, I'll give you three days, and I'll see what results you can give me." ”

Zhou Ming said to him: "Don't worry, Councilor Brooke, I will definitely investigate, but I won't give you any results, because I don't plan to give you a penny!"

Old Brooke laughed and said, "Well, I'm looking forward to this result, because I'd rather take over your entire insurance company than ask for your nine million claim funds." ”

Speaking of this, Old Brook suddenly stretched his head in front of Zhou Ming and whispered to him: "By the way, I will tell you again, I will have law enforcement officers from the Justice Bureau to freeze your company's assets today, because I just want you to take the money when you can't get the money." But it can't be helped, who let you do such a serious high-frequency trading before to give me a chance?"

"I can't help but say, Brooke, you guy, you're such a boring old bastard!" Zhou Ming scolded him.

Old Brooke smiled happily: "Thank you very much, I will take this as a compliment to me, and I will carry him forward until you get out of Brighton!"

"Councillor Brooke, you seem to have made a mistake, and it should be you who should get out now!" Zhou Ming said.

Old Brooke shook his finger in front of Zhou Ming very pretendly, "As an accomplished entrepreneur, you shouldn't scold people so casually, but for Zhou Ming, I think it's forgivable, because the title of accomplished entrepreneur has nothing to do with you, I very much hope that the next time I see you again, I will see you off at the airport, and I will definitely prepare a big gift for you at that time!"

Old Brooke turned around and left, leaving behind a string of presumptuous laughter, and when Old Brooke left, Zhou Ming turned his head and immediately saw Julie silently shed tears.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, they did it on purpose, right, they concocted false news about the company's insider trading, and then when the law enforcement officers of the Bureau of Justice came to freeze the company's assets, they came again to demand compensation, this is part of their plan, right? Their purpose is to rob our company, they are raised by these bitches!" Julie cried and scolded.

"That's just the way it is, and I can't help but admit it, it's really bad news. Zhou Ming sighed and said.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, we will pay our salaries in three days, right?" asked Julie suddenly.

Zhou Ming nodded yes, and then asked Julie: "Why did you suddenly ask this question, is it because you are worried about the future of Wharton Insurance Company and want to resign from me?"

Julie hurriedly explained: "It's not like this, Mr. Zhou Ming, you misunderstood, I love this company very much, as long as the company doesn't give up on me, I will never give up the company, I just want to say the question of salary...... In fact, I can give up my salary this month to help the company through this difficult time. ”

Zhou Ming didn't have time to be surprised by Julie's words, and several other executives also said to Zhou Ming: "Chairman, we are all willing to give up this month's salary, as long as the company can get through the difficulties!"

Zhou Ming was very moved by Julie and the other administrative staff's words, because Zhou Ming originally hired them so that when he and his financial classmates were not there, someone could handle things, so that all business would not come to a standstill. Zhou Ming just regarded them as NPCs who could handle things according to the rules, but he didn't expect that they would have such deep feelings for their insurance company, and they actually took the initiative to ask to give up their salaries.

Although their salaries are a drop in the bucket for Old Brooke's lion mouth, and not even enough to pay Allen's lawyer's fees, it is very rare for them to have such an attitude, you know, this is capitalist America, not some kind of dedicated communism.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Julie: "You are all my very good employees, I am proud and proud of Wharton Insurance Company to have you, but it is precisely because of this that I can never deduct your salary." ”

Julie and the others were anxious to say something, but Zhou Ming continued: "I know that you all want to be good for the company, so the company can't treat you badly, think about it, a company that needs to deduct employees' salaries in order to develop, will there be a sense of security? That is just a cancer, and our Wharton company will never be such a cancer, so Julie and everyone's salaries will be paid on time, whether this month or next month, or every month you are here." ”

In the face of Zhou Ming's speech, everyone cheered, only Julie heard Zhou Ming's words: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what do you mean by that...... Does that mean our company has been able to get through this difficult time?"

"Of course, isn't it eight or nine million dollars? Not to mention that I am very suspicious of the reason for their claim this time, even if there is really no illegal behavior, I can take out the money at any time," Zhou Ming said, "If we can't overcome even such a little difficulty, how can we still fulfill our dreams, I still remember our company's advertising slogan." ”

Then Julie and the others took Zhou Ming's words in unison and said, "Our goal is the sea of stars!"
