August 15th

Lin Wenlei appeared in Lucerne, a beautiful Swiss city, dressed in ordinary clothes.

He didn't know how many other people besides Mark Ritchie Jr. knew about Cesky Krumlov's discovery. Although Alex Miller knows the inside story, the three explorers who stumbled upon the Golden Cave have been guarded, and the security force has increased to more than 100 people, who can say for sure that this kind of thing involves huge wealth.

So after learning about the situation that night, he secretly left Cesky Krumlov and went to Bern with six security guards. All the documents on the ownership of the gold mine were deposited in a safe deposit box at UBS.

Then he passed through Marc Ritchie's seat in Zug and arrived in Lucerne in the morning, where he waited for news from Little Ritchie.

It's easy to pass the time in this beautiful little town, with a walk and a boat ride on the lake for a day.

In the early evening, I received a call from Little Richie to meet in Zug at about 8pm. The two towns were less than half an hour's drive away, and that was enough for him to clean himself up.

I bought a Patek Philippe 5270 and a handmade Armani suit, dressed as well as possible, and then rushed to Zug under the escort of 2 Land Rover Lansheng by security guards.

Little Richie didn't enter the town as promised, and waited for Little Richie outside the town. He beckoned Lin Wenlei to his Aston Martin ONE-77 and asked Lin Wenlei to drive the security guard away:

"Generally, no one dares to make trouble here, and it doesn't matter if they dare to do it."

Of course, Lin Wenlei knows this truth, Zug seems to be just a humble town, but it is home to most of the world's large traders, and its wealth and influence are amazing. The best guy here is Mark Ritchie, and it is because of him that Zug has become the world's capital of minerals and bulk trade, and this is his territory. To make trouble here is to bear the cost of angering Mark Ritchie, which ordinary people cannot afford.

So Lin Wenlei calmly asked the security guards to go to the town of Zug to rest first, and drove along a lakeside path with Little Richie to the outside of the town.

"He's not in good health, you'd better be direct, and you'd better not provoke him, think about how to impress him with benefits."

"Of course, that's what I'm here for, and I'm confident."

Little Richie's nervousness Lin Wenlei understands very well, judging from his immaturity in doing things, this should be a rare opportunity to show his father his ability, he is definitely not much easier than Lin Wenlei.

After arriving at a lakeside manor and meeting the famous Mark Ritchie, Lin Wenlei was not nervous, whether he was dead or alive depended on this time, and it was useless to be nervous.

Therefore, Lin Wenlei looked at Old Richie with a substantial gaze, and behaved very calmly, which made Little Richie who was bound on the side very admired.

"Young man, you are very confident, do you think a gold mine can impress me?"

"I think I have to have a vault. Mr. Richie, why would I venture to meet you if it wasn't too special. ”

Old Richie burst out laughing, apparently satisfied with his response.

"Then tell me about your golden hole, and what I can get, and what I have to give."

Old Richie waved the servant and little Richie away, and asked them to prepare the Romani Diamond Champagne first, implying that he knew a lot about Cesky Krumlov's situation.

"Mr. Rich, my mine manager insisted on naming that gold cave the Golden Scepter, not only because she was unique, but also because she represented a dominant influence on the world gold market, which needs to be factored into our dealings."

"The dominant influence of the gold market, even I dare not touch easily, and it means nothing to you. Considering your Chinese status, it is no different from suicide if you touch it, and you had better think about this point. ”

Lin Wenlei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he was willing to bargain, it meant that Richie was interested. Whether it's a rival or a partner, it's easy to do it if you're interested and have ideas.

"Of course, I'm well aware of that. I can't touch this (gold market influence), but I can decide who to give this influence to, can't I?"

Richie didn't dwell on this issue either, nodding and waiting for more introductions:

"A gold cave with a reserve of more than 8,500 tons, you can't call it a gold mine, because it is gold, and the purity is 40-60%. It can be traded with only very simple processing, mining and smelting are very simple, the important thing is the cost of time, she can allow people to obtain a sufficient amount of gold in a short time. Almost anyone but me can imagine a sweet harvest that affects the gold market. And you, Mr. Richie?"

Old Richie was obviously a little surprised, his rare face changed color, and he nodded again, admitting that he had a point:

"If what you're saying is true, you've touched me. So tell me what you want and what I need to give. ”

"My request is simple, to share a part of this wealth safely, and as for how to do it, I hope that Mr. Rich will give me a plan, and the affirmation you want will be reflected in this plan, right?"

Richie gasped a little, not knowing if he was excited or tired. After thinking about it for a while, Old Rich laughed:

"You're a smart young man, and you're trading me for more with what you're destined to lose. What if I come up with a selfish solution? Like throwing you a little money and kicking you out. ”

Lin Wenlei also responded with a smile:

"You won't, because you're Mr. Richie."

"Are you slapping me on the back and expecting my kindness?"

"Nope! You can even interpret it as a reminder. I mean, because you're Mark Ritchie, you need to make everything as legal as possible in such a far-reaching deal, and that has to be with my cooperation. ”

Lin Wenlei unceremoniously pointed out Mark Ritchie's weakness, he can resist the US government for decades, but there are also people in the US government who have been staring at him for decades. I'm afraid there are a lot of people who are expecting Mark Ritchie to make a mistake and then pounce on him like a pack of wolves and devour him.

Old Rich looked at Lin Wenlei many times in surprise, and said after a while:

"I haven't seen a young man as smart and bold as you in years. Okay, let's talk about the solution and talk about your requirements. ”

"I want to keep 20% of the shares, 5% of which is for Mark Jr. as he deserves. I accept one-third of the other shares for transfer on the basis of the valuation. ”

"You'll be welcome in the club, and a generous, sharing partner should be welcome. But it is not realistic for you to hold shares, and you are not suitable to own these shares. And I also need to give up a lot of shares, as you said, the impact is too big. ”

Lin Wenlei smiled:

"My shares are only required for dividends, and the voting rights are entrusted to a shareholder on their proxy."

Old Rich laughed thoroughly and agreed with Lin Wenlei's statement, because he didn't want the power brought by shares, and he wouldn't have the influence outside the gold mine, so no one would be embarrassed for him, and he had to curry favor with him to get his voting rights.

"I have to admit that you are a smart guy, and it is a good choice for both parties to be friends with little Evan and you. I noticed that you like PP, so this is a good gift. ”

Old Rich took a Patek Philippe 5002P blue dial watch from his hand and handed it to him with a smile.

Lin Wenlei, who is still a dick in essence, was taken aback, and the domestic price is more than 17 million! But looking back, it's really nothing compared to business and the benefits of giving it away, and there is also the meaning of Old Richie's goodwill. Lin Wenlei accepted it unceremoniously, and he couldn't put it down at that time.

The elder Richie promised to take over Cesky Krumlov's affairs, saying that the distribution plan should be carefully thought out, and that he would come up with a plan in about a week.

At this time, the housekeeper came in to remind Old Rich that he needed to rest, and when Lin Wenlei got up to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered that there were still a bunch of debts to be repaid.

"Mr. Richie, I still need some funds, and I've had some financial trouble to deal with lately."

"Is 500 million euros enough?"

Seeing Lin Wenlei's thanks, Old Rich was a little curious and insisted that he tell him the reason.

And after telling the rollercoaster experience of the past few days, old Richie burst into laughter, praising his luck for the wealth that was deceived into being delivered, and even the corners of the mouth of the serious old butler on the side couldn't help twitching.

Hearing that he wanted to return to the team in the next few days, the elder Rich also agreed, and asked Rich Jr. to accompany him and take his special plane back to Bochum.
