Chapter 333: Lunch II

"I'm inviting you here today for one thing, and that's that I want to hire all of you."

This sentence is like a thunderclap in everyone's hearts, the foreigners here are all Huaxia Tong, Huaxia speaks more smoothly than some Huaxia people, they understand every word of what Qin Dao said, but they don't understand what this whole sentence means at all.

Qin Dao continued, "Of course, this includes the family and forces behind you."

Qin Dao turned his head to look at little Luke, the eighteen-year-old girl was flushed with her stomach after a few glasses of white wine, and she actually showed a little charm when she looked at Qin Dao.

Qin Dao picked up the blue-glazed cloud dragon cup, toasted the girl alone, and drank another glass of wine, little Luke's face turned even redder, and he was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Qin Dao.

"You came here today to represent your grandfather and your family?"

"Of course......" Little Luke stopped halfway through and looked at Qin Dao suspiciously, "What you just said is true?"

"Of course it's true."

Hearing this, it was not only little Luke, but everyone else put down the chopsticks in their hands and pricked up their ears to listen.

"I've spent some time investigating your Smith family's assets, you were from Huaxia six years ago, and before you left the United States, your assets were over 400 billion United Coins. You did pay a lot to get rid of the United States, and you lost almost 200 billion United States. But you have made some gains in the past few years in Huaxia, and your family's total assets are about 350 billion Lianzhong coins, am I right?"

Little Luke was raised as the next successor of the family, and no one knew the family's finances better than her.

"365.3 billion Lianzhong coins, equivalent to 2,565 billion Chinese coins. What are you trying to do investigating our family?"

"Business, of course."

At this time, Ah Fu handed a few documents to Qin Dao.

"What is this?"

"These are the four most valuable shares in my hands. A bank in Great Russia, a financial company in Europa, a real estate group in South America, a large amount of forest land in addition to real estate, a mining group in North Africa. The mining conglomerate recently acquired a gold mine."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm going to take 30 percent of the shares of each of these four companies, with a total value of exactly 3,65.3 billion Lianzhong coins, and I'll give them to you."

This frightened little Luke, and she took the file and looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became.

"What do you want?"

"Forty-five percent of your family's shares."

This was a very big temptation, and Qin Dao exchanged a more valuable high-quality asset for a stake in the re-established industrial empire of the Smith family in China. Not counting the difference in the price of these shares of the two parties, it is obvious that Qin Dao has given these higher returns.

Little Luke knew that he couldn't refuse, and he didn't have any reason to refuse, and his grandfather wouldn't refuse, her grandfather seemed to be in a much more detached mood over the years, and he didn't care about money at all.

"And then, what do we need to do?"

"We will be in the same boat, advance and retreat together, and in the future, we will share blessings and hardships, and share weal and woe."

This business is a loss-making transaction for anyone, but it is still very cost-effective for Qin Dao, although he directly lost 200 billion Lianzhong coins in the process, but from his point of view, although he lost 200 billion, he can mobilize more funds. And it has attracted a huge financial group, a large group of professionals.

"How do you restrain us?"

"No, I don't."

"I mean, what are you going to do if our family takes your favor and then disobeys you."

"Then you will kill those who will not listen to you. You should know, I can do it."

"I can't promise you right now, I need to make a phone call to my grandfather."

"Please."

The wine glass was filled again, and Qin Dao looked at Henry Russell.

Henry Russell was a boy two years younger than Qin Dao, his eyes lit up at this time, and he drank the wine in one gulp

"Our family can, we don't need 350 billion Lianzhong coins, we only need 200 billion, oh no, we only need 100 billion. I can promise you now."

"Henry, I think you're thinking too much, your family is not valuable, let's put it this way, your family's prestige is not measured by money."

Henry's face fell suddenly.

"Your Russell family, since your father took over the family, your family's estate has been in decline. With all due respect, your father is not a competent family***, but a failed businessman. In the past 20 years since he came to power, he has basically lost more than half of your family's industry, and the rest are some loss-making assets and fixed assets of the family. But your father is not willing to give up the little family that followed you. Since 10 years ago, your family has been struggling to make ends meet. I've been borrowing money since then, and although I helped you pay off all your debts a few years ago, last year you started borrowing money from banks again."

In front of so many people to break the affairs of the family, Henry's face became more and more ugly, and now he has become the color of pig liver. But he knew very well in his heart that the only one who could change all this was the young man in front of him, so he didn't interrupt Qin Dao and still listened quietly.

"Simply your family still has a good reputation and credibility, there is a group of small families willing to follow you, and they have a certain say in the whole of England and even Europa, so I am willing to invest in your Russell family."

Although the young man of the Russell family was ecstatic at the moment, he didn't show much of it, he just thanked Qin Dao with his head.

"But I have a few conditions. First, your family is not allowed to participate in the management of all the family businesses for five years, and I will send someone to take over and run it in the name of your Russell family."

Without waiting for Henry to think about it, Qin Dao continued: "Within five years, I will provide all the expenses of your family, and after five years, I will return everything that should belong to you as it is."

"Why?"

"It's very simple, you can't run these industries anymore, so it's better for me to reintegrate them, sell what should be sold and throw away what should be thrown away. Only then can it be brought back to life. If there is a new industry in five years' time, we will divide it separately. If you still have questions, I'll continue if you don't."

Qin Dao has reservations about foreigners, in fact, the assets of the Russell family are not as unbearable as Qin Dao said, such as the two ports, and their mobile communication business, but it is true that the poor management is true, Qin Dao helps them not to seek their assets, he wants to pull the tiger skin to make a big banner, and use their family's fame to expand some businesses that foreigners cannot get involved in England. The most important thing is that he needs collateral, and if they betray, then be ready to be a civilian.

Seeing that Henry was silent, Qin Dao continued, "Second, your family must mobilize all the strength to help me when I need it. Since your family has no money now, then you should go out."

"That...... There are some supernatural beings in our family, but the number of them is too small to make a difference."

"That's not going to work, you don't want to just take advantage and don't contribute. Don't think I don't know, hundreds of years ago your family led the Knights of the Temple, one of the three major orders of Europa."

Henry's face turned the color of pig liver again at this time, and in front of Qin Dao, he didn't have any secrets.

"The Knights of the Temple were defeated in the Crusade, and your ancestors led a group of remnants back to England and joined the Royal Knights.

"How the hell do you know that?"

"You know something about the history of China, do you know the horse thieves, these horse thieves are farmers on weekdays, no one knows that they are horse thieves, even their own companions, only the real leaders have this list. When it was time to commit a crime, the leader would notify each village one by one, and everyone would come out with their faces covered. This is similar to the way you are doing it now. I found a problem when I checked your family's property, and if it weren't for these people, your family wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"Yes, since you know it, I won't deny it, but I think they are really powerless in a battle as strong as you fought yesterday."

Ah Fu appeared again in time, this time with two wooden suitcases in his hands.

Ah Fu opened one of the boxes, and there were two things in the boxes. A long red and black knife with a pale yellow arm guard. This arm guard runs from the fist glove all the way to the elbow.

Ah Fu put on an arm guard in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, looking at Qin Dao. Qin Dao bowed slightly.

I saw Ah Fu suddenly scratch on the back of the knife, the red and black knife quickly became red, and there seemed to be a faint flame burning at the blade, the flame burned more and more, burning for nearly two minutes, and finally Ah Fu threw an iron ingot into the air, and the knife in his hand was picked up from the bottom up, and there was almost no sound of metal contact, and the iron ingot was cut in two.

Everyone exhaled at this time, and secretly screamed in their hearts for a good knife.

"This is one of the results of our years, this knife is called the Fire Walking Knife, and it is a combination of formation, forging, mechanism and talisman techniques. Even if you are not a person in the Dao Sect, you can use this knife to attract some natural forces. The knife can be used for two minutes each time it activates the power of fire, during which it is easy to cut gold and jade. It takes twelve hours after each use to activate the power of fire again, and the knife can be used normally within those twelve hours."

Ah Fu then began to demonstrate the arm guard, only to see him pinch his five fingers, as if he had broken something, and then from the finger cover, the whole arm guard changed from pale yellow to earthy yellow, and then everyone saw clearly that the material of this arm guard may be ceramic, a ceramic that is harder and lighter than metal.

Ah Fu punched out, this punch seemed light, but the speed of the fist almost broke the sound barrier, and after the punch was exhausted, a delicate crossbow arrow shot out from the arm guard, and the crossbow arrow shot through the back of a solid wood chair in front of him, and then through the seat of the chair, into the solid wood floor.

"Earth-walking armguard, you have also seen his power, ordinary cultivators can use it twice a day, and I can barely use it five times a day. There are also three crossbow arrows on the armguards, which can reach a range of up to 60 meters."

"Why can you only use this glove twice a day, and why you can use it five times?" Henry asked impatiently

"It's too powerful for the body to bear."

"These weapons seem to require some consumables to activate, don't they?" The veiled woman spoke for the first time.

"Yes." Ah Fu spread out his palm, there seemed to be a mechanism in the palm of the iron fist, and Ah Fu opened the mechanism and replaced it with a small bottle the size of a fingernail. Then pick up the fire knife, there is also a mechanism on the back of the knife, and the bottle used here is dark red.

Sure enough, everyone began to slander Qin Dao's female cheating, no matter how good things were, they could only use it as an ordinary piece of equipment when they left Qin Dao.

"What's in the box," Henry asked, who seemed particularly interested in these things.

"A shield, a golden shield." Ah Fu opened the box, and in the wooden box was a round shield with no luster and seemingly unremarkable. If you look closely, you will find that the shield mountain is engraved with some strange patterns and runes.

"This shield can be used for fifteen minutes when activated, and it can easily block 12.7mm snipers***, and it can barely withstand 15mm bullets."

Qin Dao looked at Henry and said, "How are you satisfied, if your knights want to come, you can equip them with these things."

Henry nodded repeatedly.

"The last condition is that I need your father to give up his position as head of the family."
