Chapter 556: Don't give face

As it turns out, the title party is more appealing.

As long as you are a wine lover, it is impossible not to know about Blue Lagoon wines.

"The failure of the Blue Lagoon winemaking" is, of course, big news for them. Whether they love or hate Blue Lagoon wines, they will follow this "news".

But after watching those news or videos, they immediately realize that they have been scammed.

The so-called Blue Lagoon grapes in the news are just Truss grapes cultivated from the pruned vines of the Blue Lagoon grapes - the very powerful grape variety that was boasted some time ago.

But there was big news inside: Bell Farms' wine, originally valued at $2 billion, had become worthless.

Two billion dollars, and worthless, this is a stark contrast. It's not okay if you don't want to pay attention.

"According to our secret interviews, we found that the winery in California (using Truss grapes) makes vinegar. An unnamed manager at Bell Farms revealed to us that wine discrimination at Bell Farms had been completely corrupted, and that the cellar was full of sour smells. I just didn't dare to reveal it. Because once the news leaks, Bell Farms will have to pay a billion dollars in liquidated damages......"

Here's another flashpoint: billions of dollars in liquidated damages.

The outside world will be skeptical of this news. But some people are either angry or frightened when they see it.

After Luke Truss received two deadly deliveries, it didn't take long for him to receive another series of phone calls.

The calls, all from the same winery owners who grow and make Truss grapes like Bespage Merrick, called to demand immediate compensation. There is no doubt that they all saw the news before they felt that they had been deceived.

Luke Truss can't be perfunctory this time. The amount of compensation claimed adds up to more than $50 million, and he simply cannot afford to pay.

And now the worst thing is that Link Hans has to inspect the wines of Bell Farms.

The owner of the winery, whose demand for compensation was not met, almost immediately contacted the media to break the news: the Truss wine he made was indeed finished, and announced that he was considering suing Luke Truss for fraud.

Luke Truss can't manage that much anymore. He immediately flew to New York to discuss countermeasures with his accomplice, Hull Donald. It's just that Hull Donald doesn't have anything to do either. They had to go to John Malone, who was already furious because of the news.

John Malone listened to Luke Truss's request, and like an angry "flat-headed brother", he picked up the coffee cup and smashed it directly at Luke Truss, regardless of the half cup of cold coffee in it.

Luke Truss is not injured, John Malone is old and has no head. He'd been spilled coffee, but now he didn't care about it because John Malone was roaring.

"Got Link Hans?" John Malone's age-spotted face flushed, making one wonder if he would have a cerebral hemorrhage from overexcitement. "Who the fuck do you [31] think you are? Fuck Lynk Hans? Who the fuck do you think he is? You think you're the godfather of the mafia? You're just a piece of damn shit! You think he's a nigger who can be killed by a random cop on the street? There are a hundred veterans around him at any time!"

Hul Donald did not dare to show his arrogance in front of others in front of John Malone: "Mr. Malone. What we mean is that we want you to come forward and talk to him and get him to cancel the contract. We know you're sure to have a way. ”

John Malone still seemed furious, and turned his head to spit at him: "Fuck you [71] fuck me shut up! Do you want me to kneel in front of that yellow-skinned monkey and beg for mercy?"

Luke Truss now doesn't care how angry the old guy in front of him is that his skin is like old bark. All he knew was that if Link had examined those "wines", he would have nothing left. He would go to jail, and even if he had the chance to get out, he would be homeless on the streets. And this old guy in front of him is likely to kill him.

And the most important thing now is to stop Link Hans from checking those wines. Or let Link Hans not file a claim. As long as he doesn't have to pay a billion dollars in compensation, he still has a chance to turn over.

He took a few napkins from the table to wipe the coffee stains on his body, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Mr. Marlon, I don't think now is the time to blame anyone. What we need to think about now is how to avoid losing a billion dollars. You know how much power you have. I think as long as you make a phone call, he will give up!"

Link did receive a phone call from a vague asking him to spare Bell Farm. The call was from Giovanni the Elder.

"Mr. Governor, can I know what prompted you to call me?" Link remembered that Giovanni Sr. and John Malone were not in the same group.

Old Giovanni smiled and said, "Link, there are no eternal enemies. And it's not politics. ”

It's not politics, it's business.

However, Link did not intend to give him this face, saying, "Mr. Governor, it is only natural and necessary for me to exercise my power that rumors like this are present at Bell Farm. ”

"Link, I want you to consider my words. John Malone was a man of great power. ”

"Yes, I have already experienced the power of his power in the past half month. Link said with a smile. "Mr. Governor, I think you can understand me!"

When old Giovanni heard Link say this, he knew that no matter how much he said, he would not be able to convince him. Bell Farms and Luke Rust have teamed up to already be business rivals with Link. And CNN's targeting of Link some time ago has made Link not need to worry about John Malone's power in the media.

John Malone went around in a circle and asked himself to intercede with Link, instead of giving Link himself, probably because he knew this.

"Okay, Link. You don't think you got the call from me. Maybe I made a mistake by making this call!"

The day after the news of the brewing failure at Bell Farm came to light, three cars with a total of about a dozen people came to Bell Farm. Among them are lawyers, impartials and wine critics. The leader of the team was Morris, who suddenly became the general manager of Shengshi International Trading Company.

But they were kept out of the gates of Bell Farms. The security guard at Bell Farm said to Morris, "This is private land, and we have not been notified to allow you to enter. ”

Morris didn't waste time and these security guards to talk too much, and immediately called Luke Truss: "Mr. Truss, I'm Maurice Clare, the general manager of Sheng International Trade. I now ask you to immediately fulfill your contractual obligations and allow us to enter Bell Farms to conduct a periodic evaluation of your wines. ”

"Mr. Claire, I beg your pardon, I'm in Canada right now, maybe you can come back next time!"

Morris, of course, didn't believe his nonsense and said with a smile: "Mr. Truss." You know, your presence is not necessary. All we have to evaluate is the wine. All we need to do is get permission to enter Bell Farms and have the wine evaluated. It doesn't matter if you're there or not!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Claire. The key to the cellar is in my custody. So, you may have to wait for me to get back to the United States. ”

Morris raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Truss, there are lawyers in the assessment team I brought in. The lawyer told me. In accordance with clause 38 of the contract, we have the right to evaluate the quality of the wine at any time during the winemaking process, without having to wait for your keys. Perhaps you can find the contract from the safe in your study right now and ask your lawyer. If Bell Farm doesn't have a key, you have two options, first, you can have someone smash the door. Second, we'll turn around and go to the district court to sue you for breach of contract. ”

Luke Truss's trick of "no one is there" seems to be able to succeed. But Link had long thought that he might use that kind of trick.

So he asked Morris to go directly with the lawyer and the notary. If the other party makes an excuse not to let the assessment team into Bell Farm. He sued the other party for breach of contract in court.

While Morris and Luke Truss were negotiating, Link received a call from Douglas at home: "Boss, we found out that Hull Donald has bought a lot of wine and grapes. I'm sure that's far more wine and fruit than a 10,000-person drinking party. ”

Link immediately thought of Truss what they were doing when they bought wine.

He said, "Keep watching." Seeing that they were not fit to transport the things to Bell Farm. ”

"We'll keep an eye on them!"

Besper Merrick said that some of the wines that Luke Truss had brought with him were now suspected to have been made with wine and fresh grape juice.

Luke Truss is likely to respond to his assessment request in the same way.

He felt that if Luke Truss had been more shameless, he could even make some wine out of table grapes, and then bribe some people to get silver awards, so that he had to spend a billion dollars to buy them.

That may not be out of the question. As the elder Giovanni said, John Malone was powerful.

There will be a lot of "friends" for people with great power.

He can't afford not to be unguarded!

"Also, I need some people with strong reconnaissance skills. Do you have someone like that? who can go into some place and lurk without being noticed. ”

This time Douglas hesitated for a moment and said, "I know a few people like that, maybe I can pay them to help." ”

Link heard his hesitation and said, "If we find evidence that Bell Farm is going to ghost, it's all right." He knew Douglas was worried that inviting people from outside would get them all in trouble.

"Okay, I'll try to contact them. ”

After hanging up Douglas, Link thought for a moment and dialed Carrick's phone: "Carrick, are you in Seattle?

After receiving the affirmation, he said: "Then you come to Ozette, maybe you have to take a break from your work in Seattle." The time is uncertain. ”

Carrick didn't even think about it and said, "OK, I'll be there in four hours." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, you can arrange the work over there before you come. ”
