230. Exchange of interests
Before this meeting, Vladimir also specially asked his secretary Andrei to provide him with basic information about the Charles family.
Compared with the Campbell family, which flies on both sides of the political and business circles and belongs to a typical radical organization, the Charles family is not interested in the business world, and their energy is either in politics or engaged in public welfare activities, so it can be said that the Charles family is an out-and-out conservative organization.
There is an irreconcilable natural contradiction between the two factions of the organization, conservative and radical.
But what surprised him was that as soon as they met, Charlie directly said a lot of his information.
"Hello, Mr. Vladimir, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ADG Group, owner of the Imperial Hotel and the Chesil Club, the sole heir of the future Yin Wan family......"
Obviously, Charlie's words are also a reminder that you know my details, and I also know your details.
"Haha, Mr. Charlie, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with me." Vladimir smiled heartily.
Charlie smiled slightly: "This information is provided by the Internet, I always have to know some of the interests of the person I am interviewing today, okay, otherwise how can I interview you?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, I hope we can have a common hobby so that we can be closer to each other." Vladimir knows the status of the Charles family in the Ying country, and the current knights of the Ying country are also ranked according to the princes and uncles, and being able to be the duke of the Great Ying Empire is definitely an outstanding historical contribution to the country.
As it stands, there are 22 dukes in the entire Daiei Empire. Of these, 12 belonged to the royal family, and the other 10 were handed down from other noble families.
Therefore, the family that can inherit the duke in the Ying country is definitely extremely heavy.
Vladimir's current development territory is mainly concentrated in Maoziguo, Yingguo and Filipino, where he has Salkovsky, Petrojevic and others as his resources, and in Philippines, he has a very good relationship with Mushara and Russell.
It's just that in Yingguo, he has no background.
Vladimir hopes to establish friendly relations with the Charles family this time.
"Let's start with the exchange of interests and resources between us." In response to Vladimir's suggestion to become a close friend, Charlie said pragmatically that he is currently one of the leaders of conservative organizations in the country, and also serves on the board of directors of dozens of non-profit organizations.
"I like your confession." Vladimir didn't bother to talk to them, and it was a great way to deal with them.
"You want to join our family against the Campbells, right?" Charlie asked directly.
Vladimir smiled: "Even if I have such an idea, it would be best if you could provide me with the necessary help when I lack support." ”
"Haven't we already provided you with the necessary help?" Apparently, Charlie was referring to the mysterious material.
"That help is really not small, Campbell has asked the activist group to go to the Moon to make trouble."
"Mr. Vladimir, you'd better be hidden, and don't let Campbell and them know that the Moon is your mouthpiece, otherwise you will be very passive."
"Looks like you know." Seeing that Charlie had exposed his relationship with the Moon, Vladimir was not annoyed.
"I also just knew, I have to say, you are an extremely smart man, you can know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
"No, Mr. Charlie, it is our human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and I am a member of Maozi Country in the world in Lundun, and I must protect myself."
"Our family can protect you if necessary."
"So what can I do for you?"
"Donate to my charity foundation so that the Moon newspaper will also serve me, and I plan to run for mayor of Lundun." Charlie smiled slyly.
Charlie is only in his thirties, and his plan is to run for mayor of Lundun to lay a solid foundation for his future path, which makes Vladimir have to be impressed by Charlie after hearing this.
This guy really has a lot of ambitions, and he is worthy of being a member of the old aristocracy, and he is very clear about his life plan, and he will definitely not take a detour.
"Don't plan it, Mr. Charlie, I think you're the next mayor of Luntun."
"Haha......" Charlie finally couldn't help laughing this time, "Vladimir, with your good words, I think we might be able to become good friends." ”
"No problem, as long as we are honest with each other."
Suddenly, Charlie handed out a briefcase, "This is a personal document of the current mayor of Lundun, man, do you dare to help me publish it?" ”
"How many media outlets are there now?"
"Three."
"That's fine, we'd love to work together."
"What about your needs?" Charlie's two demands this time Vladimir agreed without hesitation, but his personal demands Charlie did not understand.
"I don't have any personal appeals, I just want to make friends with your family."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, to be honest, if you don't make a complaint, I won't dare to cooperate with you." Charlie said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"If you say that, then I really have to mention two, one is that you helped me make two of my company's Yingguo executives into parliamentarians, and they are also very enthusiastic about participating in public welfare; The other one is that my friend has developed a high-end real estate, and I feel that the Campbell family is very likely to make a big fuss in the middle and need your help when the time comes. ”
"Guohui's definitely not good."
"It's okay to be one level lower than the National Club."
"That shouldn't be a big problem, as long as they don't have a record of breaking the law and committing crimes, and you also have shares in that high-end real estate." Charlie smiled slightly.
Vladimir laughed, "Mr. Charlie, don't say it." I believe that our interests are aligned in our treatment of the Campbell family."
Indeed, at this point, the Charles family and his interests are completely identical, so Charlie did not hesitate to answer this time.
……
The first thing he did when he returned to the Imperial Hotel was that Vladimir summoned Ford and Wilton to his office, and told Ford and Wilton that they should provide a certificate of no criminal record, and that the council of Wheel City would produce new members in the near future......
Vladimir didn't say anything superfluous, but Ford and Wilton already knew his temperament, and as long as the boss spoke, there was no problem at all.
Being a man, especially in a country like a constitutional monarchy, to have a certain social status is definitely the dream of most men.
Ford and Wilton are not short of money at the moment, what they lack is social status.
