Chapter Seventy-One: A Sense of Security

"But I'm afraid that I can't afford your so-called low price!" Monet replied with a wry smile.

"No, don't you even have five million dollars?" Ismay asked with a look of "why not eat minced meat".

Monet said in his heart, let alone five million, I don't even have five hundred thousand dollars, but thinking of the figure of "five million dollars", Monet's heart moved, so he asked: "Mr. Ismay, are you willing to sell fifteen percent of the shares of the White Star Company for five million?" ”

"It's for five million dollars to Mr. Monet!" Ismay corrected.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know you're looking after me. Well, I don't have $5 million, but I can find a partner, but rest assured, this partner must not have anything to do with the Morgan Group, do you think? Monet asked with some excitement.

Ismay thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Okay, but you have to hurry up, otherwise if it takes a long time, I can't guarantee that I won't change my mind!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll get back to you in three days at most!" Monet assured.

After separating from Ismay, Monet left a note for the café waiter to pass it on to Nicole, who came to look for him later, and then hurried to Madeleine's place.

Seeing Monet's arrival, Madeleine asked with some surprise, "Hey, Tony, why are you here?" ”

"Madeleine, I remember the last time you told me that Mr. Dick could give you five million dollars or more, is that true?" Monet asked straight to the point.

"I'm sure Dick has the ability, why are you asking this?" Madeleine replied with a frown of displeasure.

Monet knew that this question was indeed a bit rude, so he quickly explained: "Can you help me contact Mr. Dick, I have a profitable business here, but the cost is five million dollars!" ”

Madeleine didn't answer directly, but asked, "What kind of business is it?" Don't be fooled, five million is not a small number, and that's all I got from John! ”

"Don't worry, you won't be deceived, I checked it just now, and with today's stock price, this 15 percent of the shares will cost nearly eight million dollars!" Later, she told Madeleine about her conversation with Ismay. (To explain, although the stock is worth 8 million, it is not possible to cash out this amount of money at any time, especially if such a large amount of shares are sold on the stock market, it will definitely affect the stock price.) )

After listening to this, Madeleine suddenly realized: "I see, that's right, I'll call Dick!" ”

After five minutes of calling, Madeleine said to Monet, "Dick is very interested in this business, please meet tomorrow!" ”

Just when Monet and Madeleine were discussing the acquisition of the shares of the White Star Company, Nicole, who saw the note left by Monet, frowned and whispered angrily: "Why did you go to see that woman again?" Could it be that Tony and her are really that something? ”

So when Monet, who was about to negotiate a big deal, came home with a smile on his face and saw Nicole's cold face, he thought he was angry because he had left her shopping alone, so he hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be angry, dear, I didn't mean to leave you alone today, it's really a big business!" ”

"Didn't you say you went to Madame Astor, and what big business could you have with her?" Nicole asked with a cold face.

"It's true that Madame Astor and I can't do much business, but through the two of us, we can make two powerful tycoons make a big deal!" Monet then told the whole story.

Hearing that it was indeed a big business, Nicole's face softened a little, but she still asked a little puzzled: "But even if this business is completed, what good will it do to you?" After all, the money was all paid by Mr. Dick! ”

"Of course there is a benefit, Mr. Dick has to give me at least one percent of the shares for free, otherwise why should I cooperate with him?" Monet explained.

"Can't Mr. Dick talk directly to Mr. Ismay?" Nicole asked.

"Oh, you forgot that the five million dollars were the price that Mr. Ismay gave me, so if it weren't for me and Mr. Dick had talked to him directly, five million dollars would not have been able to be bought, in fact, one percent would have been less! It's a pity that I don't have the money, otherwise how could I go to someone else to cooperate with such a good thing! Monet replied a little depressed.

"But haven't you sabotaged Mr. Dick's pursuit of Mrs. Astor, and will he not agree to cooperate with you because of this?" Nicole asked again.

Monet replied confidently: "Absolutely impossible, such a good business, not to mention that I don't have much contradiction with Mr. Dick, even Mr. Vincent will not hesitate to cooperate with me!" ”

Sure enough, the next day, although Dick didn't give Monet a good face during the whole process, he agreed without hesitation after understanding the whole situation, and promised to give Monet 15% of 10%, that is, 1.5% of the shares, and after meeting with Mr. Ismay later, he signed the contract and the check on the spot!

But after a series of formalities, Dick said coldly to Monet: "Monsieur Monet, although I am grateful to you for helping me make this business, I still hate you for sabotaging my pursuit of Madeleine!" ”

Monet hurriedly explained: "Mr. Dick, you have wronged me, I didn't destroy it at all, I just told Madame Astor some possible situations, and then she made her own decision!" ”

Dick retorted, "You also said that it was only a possible situation, and it didn't really happen, and your remarks interfered with Madeleine's normal judgment, so you are sabotaging my pursuit of her!" ”

Although Monet admits that what Dick said has a certain truth, because what he said to Madeleine is indeed only a situation that may happen in the future, and it will not necessarily happen, but at this moment he naturally cannot admit it, so he insisted: "In any case, this is Madame Astor's own judgment, maybe she thinks you can't give her enough security!" ”
