Chapter 1047 Lawyer
If such a thing really happens, it will definitely not be tolerated for Will.
In terms of money, a lot of advertising money has been spent on this auction of gold coins.
On the side of the family, it was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Will, who ran silently for half a year before, which had already made the patriarch of the family, Will's grandfather, a little dissatisfied with him.
The reason is simple, Ville's grandfather, the current patriarch of the Romero family, believes that Vir lacks a sense of responsibility.
And Will's grandfather sees the sense of responsibility as a very important thing.
But this is also normal, if a guy with no sense of responsibility becomes the patriarch of the Romero family, then will he worry about the development of the family's business?
The current Romero family, after more than 200 years of development, is no longer the family that could only become "wealthy" back then.
In this world, money can be divided into many kinds, from the rich at the beginning, to the billionaires, the billionaires, and finally the consortium, which has an essential difference.
The current Romero family belongs to the consortium level. They have long become, a huge financial giant, a little bit of wind and grass, can set off a storm in the capital market, the same way, a decision to go down, may be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds mobilized.
In such a situation, the patriarch of the family must understand finance, as well as a sense of responsibility!
In Will's grandfather's opinion, a qualified family patriarch must have a sense of responsibility at all times, because once he makes a wrong decision, the money he loses is almost in the level of tens of millions and billions.
That's why, after Vir came back, his grandfather never saw him.
Because in his grandfather's opinion, Will was too irresponsible, which caused Will's impression score in his heart to drop sharply At the same time, Cross's impression score increased greatly.
Therefore, whether these gold coins can be auctioned and how to auction them has become the most important thing in Will's heart.
Because if this matter is done well, and these gold coins can be successfully sold at a premium, then it proves that Wei is still very capable in business, and even with the fact that he disappeared for half a year before, he has changed from "not doing business" to acquiring wealth.
It is simply the key to successfully turning things around, getting out of the current embarrassing situation, and increasing the impression score of the current family patriarch and his grandfather.
But Will did not calculate that someone would secretly calculate this matter, and now he is almost certain that the person who made this matter is definitely the guy from Cross. There is no second person.
The reason why he is so sure is because Ville knows one thing very well in his heart, if Cross wants to take the throne and take the position of the patriarch of the family, he must defeat himself.
Because only himself is the most important obstacle in front of him.
Similarly, if Will wants to regain his qualification as the heir to the family, there is only one way to perform as well as possible than Kroos.
Weir's biggest advantage lies in the surname, with the surname Romero, as long as his performance is better than Kroos, then he is equal to half the success!
As long as the two can tie, then the winner must be Ville!
It is precisely because these two people know this in their hearts that Cross has to do everything possible to prevent Will, and Ville is trying to prove himself.
……
The Jinli Auction House has arrived.
Today is not the day of the auction, so in front of the auction house, there are a lot of parking spaces, and Will and Baker, driving two cars, carrying Zuo Jian and Ann Juliet, Mike and others, came to the door and stopped.
"Young Master Wei, you're here."
The doorman in the parking lot, when he saw Will, immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Hmm."
Will nodded casually, and after Zuo Jian and the others got out of the car, several people walked into the auction house together.
Walking through a wall of photos decorated with the history of the auction house, Weir led Zuo Jian and the others to the meeting room of the auction house.
A staff member with the words "Jinli Auction House" on his chest also followed them, walked in, and closed the door with his backhand.
"What's going on?"
Will stared at the staff member and asked with a dark face, "What kind of lawyer from the big British shipping company is this, what did he say?" ”
It was this staff member who called Will and told him about it.
Before the cause and effect of the matter were clarified, Will did not plan to meet the lawyer, because he knew in his heart that the lawyers of these big companies were more difficult than the other, at least, these lawyers, they would never fight a battle that they were not sure of.
That is to say, since they dare to find the door, they must have enough evidence in their hands to do so, otherwise, they will not act rashly and startle the snake.
"Master Ville."
The staff member bowed slightly, and said a little nervously: "Here's the thing, just now I was working in the auction house, and when I was contacting business, suddenly this lawyer walked in and wanted to talk to the person in charge of the auction house about something. ”
"When I heard his words, my first reaction was that he was planning to come to consign some kind of auction item, but I didn't expect that after he knew that I was one of the heads of the auction house, he asked me directly, is there a batch of gold coins excavated from the vicinity of the South Island route at the auction the day after tomorrow?"
"Young Master Wei, you also know that in order to publicize this batch of gold coins, at your behest, we made a very detailed description of the source of the gold coins, so I nodded and admitted it at the time, and then this lawyer took out his lawyer's card and a few documents, put them in front of me, and told me that he was a lawyer from the legal department of the Great British Shipping Company, and this time he came to let us return this batch of gold coins belonging to their company."
"And then?"
Hearing this staff member, he finally got to the point, Will and Zuo Jian glanced at each other and asked, "What are those documents?" ”
"Those documents were presented by the Great British Shipping Company, and the contents of them were to the effect that more than 200 years ago, their company had undertaken the task of transporting a batch of gold coins from overseas back to Great Britain, but the ship was at sea, encountered a storm, and finally the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, and now, they have sufficient evidence that the gold coins in our auction house belong to the batch of gold coins they carried back then, so they demand that we return them, otherwise, we will be prosecuted in an international court for the crime of embezzlement."
Said the staff of the auction house.
"Hahaha!"
Will raised his head and snorted, but his face was pale, without the slightest smile, and he asked rhetorically: "What is their so-called sufficient evidence?" Did you see that? ”
"I saw ......"
The staff of the auction house wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "I carefully looked at the supporting documents he presented, which are very detailed, there are documents consigned by the shipping company entrusted by the British back then, and there is also the style of the gold coin pattern, which is indeed exactly the same as the gold coin you sent to the auction house......
Bang.
Hearing this, Weir immediately became angry, slapped the table fiercely, and said, "Exactly the same? Who knows if they are forgeries? ”
Bang bang bang.
It was cold, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Veren paused.
Zuo Jian's gaze fell on the door of the conference room.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a fair-skinned middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a briefcase under his arm walked in with a smile.
His gaze swept over the people in the conference room, and finally fixed on Will next to the staff of the auction house, walked over unhurriedly, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is James, please allow me to introduce myself, I am a lawyer in the legal department of the Great British Shipping Company, and this time I came to Jinli Auction House to auction the gold coins that the Great British Shipping Company once transported......"
Before he could finish speaking, Will's face pulled down, and he said in an unkind tone, "Lawyer James? Well, very good, I want to ask you, is it not good for you to walk in without my permission? Well? ”
"Hehe, I'm sorry, sir."
Hearing Will's words, the smile on James's face did not weaken in the slightest, but the smile became more and more natural, he coughed and said: "Please allow me to explain, because your behavior of 'discussing behind closed doors' is suspected of confession from a legal point of view, so in order to avoid such a thing, I have to be uninvited." I'm so sorry. I apologize for my recklessness. ”
"You!"
Will trembled with anger, and just when he didn't know what to say, Zuo Jian, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke.
"Lawyer James, huh?"
Zuo Jian raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "What reason and evidence do you have to prove that we are making a confession?" ”
"Oh?" When James heard Zuo Jian's words, his eyes fell on him, and he smiled: "This gentleman, may I ask your name?" And who is you? ”
"I won't tell you my name."
Zuo Jian said lightly: "But my identity, I can tell you a little, that is, more than half of those gold coins belong to me, I say this, you can understand, right?" ”
"Oh, I see......"
James nodded meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "In this case, we have a reason to have a good chat, oh, by the way, do you think I have any reason?" ”
He raised his chin, gestured in the direction of the staff of the auction house, and said: "The gold coins are entrusted to the auction house by you, and he is the staff of the auction house, so it can be inferred from this that you are together, and the topic of conversation must be the gold coins, right?" ”
