Flender looked at this uninvited guest coldly, and he didn't even mean to get up to greet him, and he didn't bother to do superficial work. You can see that he is very unwelcome, even if the kid has a gift in his hand.

Duanmu Ci didn't care, he moved a chair to the other side of the desk, face to face with Flender, and then lifted the two bottles of wine in his hand to the table, "This is the best Scotch whisky, it has been cellared in Scotland for eleven years, this is the Duke of Rutland's treasure!" The old man didn't want to give it, but I promised him a small estate, and he gave it. Let's drink one of these two bottles of wine, and I'll give you the rest! ”

"Have the people of the Duanmu family always been such a loser?" Flender said coldly, "Back then, your father exchanged a piece of royal porcelain used by the Qing Dynasty emperor for a graffiti of the Klee family, and now you actually exchange a manor for a bottle of wine, it's really 'one generation is better than another'!" He is still angry at his father's judgment that his family is inferior to the generation......

Duanmu Ci gave him a strange look, couldn't these idiots with no artistic taste see that the painting of the Klee family was actually a famous painting of Saint Wu Daozi? I don't know how I went to Europe, and I was taken down by a vulgar aristocrat with no eyes. Is a black and white ink painting graffiti? You deserve to do business at a loss! As for the porcelain used by the Qing emperors? Duanmu Ci never felt that it was worth much. It was just Pu Yi's prodigal son who secretly took it out of the Internal Affairs Office and sold it.

As for the exchange of a bottle of wine for a manor, it is even more nonsense, that manor was bought in the 19th century, and it has long been deserted. If you want to live in it, it is estimated that it will take half a year to clean up. As for him, it's not just a bottle of wine, it's an entire winery! It is said that the Duke of Rutland is also short of money......

But there is no need to explain these words to the little child Flender......

Flender asked the secretary to come in with two goblets. He was going to endure the nausea and have a drink with the "little kid" opposite, and the current situation was very unfavorable for the Morgan family. None of the business owners he wanted to rebel against were tempted, and the pressure of public opinion was overwhelming, not to mention the pressure from within the family.

Anyway, the mayor of Chicago just called him, and his tone was unprecedentedly bad. But Flender didn't bother with him, because he knew that the poor mayor had just been taught a lesson by his superiors......

Now that the people of the Duanmu family are willing to come, and they are still the number one person in the Duanmu family, it means that there is still a turning point in this matter, since there is room for negotiation, not endlessly. Then the rest is easy. It's nothing more than negotiation, exchanging interests, and then signing an agreement, these things are not difficult, he is used to doing them.

Flender and Duanmuci toasted each other, reluctantly said "cheers", and then brought them to their mouths. The original smell of burnt Scotch whisky, but now in the mouth is really like chewing wax, Flender put down the glass, said, "What do you want this time?" My Morgan family has a word first. The MagnificentMile is my family's property, and we will not be able to return it anyway, never! ”

That's Flender's bottom line. Or rather, this is the bottom line of the Morgan family. This incident has swept Morgan's face to the ground, making Morgan employees feel faceless when they go out. If even the newly arrived TheMagnificentMile is going to be returned now, it will undoubtedly step on Morgan's "face" that has fallen to the ground. Trample until it rots.

This is something that Flender will never allow, and he would rather die and break the net. Lose both.

Duanmu Ci smiled gently, even like a spring breeze. "Of course, it is a natural rule to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and those who break this rule generally do not end well, no matter how powerful they are. So I don't plan to break this rule, that street was taken from the Chicago City government, and it has nothing to do with me, Duanmuci. ”

Flender looked at Duanmu Ci's eyes and said very seriously, "You came to negotiate today as the head of the Duanmu family, so I don't treat you as an ordinary young man." You should know that in this matter, we Morgan saved face for your family, since we chose to publicize it with great fanfare, we could naturally publicize your family's 'troubles' along with it, but we didn't, we only publicized our own 'victory', but did not publicize your 'defeat', and those ordinary people didn't even know who the original owner of that street was. ”

That's true. You must know that Morgan thought that he had won, and that he had already placed the Duanmu family together. In that case, of course, they could trumpet the "defeat" of the Duanmu family, but they didn't, they only preached their victory, which can be regarded as kindness, and on this bloody money road, they can't ask for more.

Therefore, at that time, there were definitely not many people in the world who were qualified to know the Duanmu family's "embarrassment" and "oolong", and people who did not have a net worth of more than $1 billion were not qualified to know the inside story at all.

In the end, Morgan also reaped the consequences, he released the fierce beast of the media to promote his "war exploits", but he was ruthlessly counterattacked, and almost became the laughing stock of the world, which was sour and bitter, and it was not enough for outsiders.

Duanmu shook the remnants of the wine in the goblet, "So this matter can be considered settled." Now let's talk about something else, TheMagnificentMile's strike, presumably Mr. Flender's pressure is not ordinary, I don't know how you want to settle this matter? If the salary is sufficient, my Duanmu family is very willing to solve the difficulties of the Morgan family. We've been friends for generations! ”

"Sure enough, you did it." Flender easily opened his tie, "It seems that I still underestimated your Duanmu family." The business on the entire street is yours, and even my Morgan family doesn't have such courage, and the Duanmu family's heritage is really not to be underestimated. And I also underestimated you, I thought that you would have to be qualified to grow into my real opponent after ten years, but I didn't expect that it would be now, I didn't even see the strength of the opponent clearly and rashly launched an attack, and I deserved to lose! ”

Duanmu Ci shook his head, "Now is not the time to say these flattering words, even if you say more, I won't be able to give you a discount." Now that the situation outside is very unfavorable to you, I guess Mr. Flender should not have so much time to talk nonsense with me. I'm here to talk about conditions...... Negotiate conditions with you. ”

Flender saw that he had spoken, so he leaned forward, crossed his fingers on the table, and quietly created a coercive situation, "What do you want?" ”

"Rare Club." Duanmu Ci said directly, "The chairs of the management committee are handmade by Italian craftsmen, and they are very well done, and I sit very comfortably, so I don't want to change positions." ”

"No problem, the Duanmu family can still attend the management meeting." Flender agreed, because the request was something he expected.

"Also, the Hilton and Christian families can't go!" Duanmu gives inches.

Flender flatly refused, "No! You can only stay, but if you are willing to leave by yourself, I will agree to let those two stay, one for two, it's a good deal! Do you want to do it? ”

Flender suggested maliciously.

Duanmu Ci ignored his words, and just said, "The Hilton family and the Christian family are also powerful in this matter, even if I want to let you go, I have to nod my head." ”

They were here to discuss the fate of the Hilton and Christian families, but none of them touched on the surnames of the other two Governing Councils. Baker and Robert, the two stupid donkeys who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, have been completely abandoned, and neither Duanmuci nor Flender are willing to waste precious negotiation time on those two stupid donkeys.

It affects the atmosphere very much!

Duanmuci and Flender argued fiercely, of course, the fierce side was mainly Flender, who ripped off his tie and threw it on the ground, because the tie was too restrictive to his neck and affected him to yell. Duanmu Ci, on the other hand, sat lightly on the soft chair, tilting his head from time to time to avoid the splashing spit.

Seeing that half a bottle of whiskey was about to be swallowed, Duanmu Ci suddenly said, "Let them become observers of the management committee." ”

"Observers?" Flender was about to get up and lean on the table and yell, when he was stunned.

"That's right, it's an observer!"

The term observer is also generally used in many international organizations, although they have neither the right to speak nor vote and cannot participate in substantive discussions. However, all the materials for the meeting were available and formal recommendations could be made. Some of the benefits and facilities of the organization are available to observers, with only minor obligations.

Duanmuci made the two families observers of the management council, which can be regarded as a compromise method, and it is also a good result to make the Hilton and Christian families a less formal management council family, after all, Morgan's face is not so easy to hit, and Morgan's arrow is not so easy to carry.

Duanmu Ci has created a class between the two families in the management committee and ordinary members, which can be regarded as very worthy of their efforts.

Flender thought about it carefully, and after confirming that there were no traps in it, he nodded, "Yes!" ”

"But there's one more thing." Flender immediately thought of something, "TheMagnificentMile is nominally ours, but his actual control is in your family's hands. If something happens one day, and you want to threaten me with this, and you have a strike, what should I do? This must be made clear! ”

Duanmu Ci lowered his head in some pain.

This stubble was still thought of by Flender, do today's children grow up eating hormones? It's getting harder and harder to cheat...... (To be continued......)
