Chapter 130: Lobbying
With a crisp sound, Yi Chen swung his golf ball more than 100 meters away from the hole and hit it directly, Huze who was standing next to him looked at this incredible scene dumbfounded, shook his head helplessly, and directly took a few bills from the hand of the assistant next to him, and paid them to Phil, who was standing next to Yi Chen.
Yi Chen smiled proudly, and said with a slight hint of mockery: "It's unfortunate, I'm playing golf for the first time today, do you believe it?"
Huzer smiled bitterly and said: "God bless my head, I won't believe this thing anyway, but I really can't figure out where else you can play golf except here, so I would rather believe that you are a very lucky person, Yi, I would rather believe this...... You've always had good luck, you know. ”
Yi Chen shrugged his shoulders, walked side by side with Huze to the next hole, and said with a smile: "Of course, everything depends on the help of your lords, isn't it?"
Huzer laughed, "Oh, don't call me that ancient Roman Empire, dear Yi. But, to tell the truth, you've been making a lot of trouble lately, and I've been on the verge of breaking down sometimes, and you know how much pressure we're going to have to put on both houses? They even said something extremely disrespectful, as if we were the culprit of all the calamities. ”
The club in Yi Chen's hand waved casually, and let out a crisp sound of breaking the air: "Then, I will make some of them shut their mouths." Maybe Mr. Hughner would be happy to let a few friends into the council?
Huzer nodded: "Of course, if that's the case...... But Yi, I heard that your territory has expanded a lot, right?"
Yi Chen understood, lightly tapped the ground with the club and said, "Yes, of course, ours...... You can rest assured that our profits will be greatly improved. As long as you continue to support me, I need to calm down my present territory, but some of the esteemed gentlemen who uphold the laws of our British Empire seem to have taken too many bribes and are not willing to assist me. ”
Huzer laughed, easily handed the club to the assistant beside him, took a bottle of water, took a sip and said, "Of course, I can understand your distress, without the cooperation of the police, it will be difficult for you to conduct your business, right?" Of course, of course, I will let those guys be honest, they should know that you are my friend...... And I've always been an absolute supporter of my friends. ”
Yi Chen politely expressed his gratitude to Huze, and then watched the caddy put a small white ball on the batting spot, and he smiled and said, "Oh, how is Mr. Auf? Please, you have the first shot." ”
Hueser walked over, put on a standard batting stance, shot a few shots and said, "Oh, he's a talent, we're not going to waste it." Since those old ladies and conservative middle-aged people like him, then we will take good advantage of it. He glanced at Yi Chen and added, "Next month, he may take the place of some unlucky ghost in the House of Commons, as you said...... We need to keep cleaning up the bad guys in our group and replenishing them with fresh blood, don't we?"
'Ding', Huze's ball flew out high and far away, several assistants applauded slightly, and Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, a cross wind blew, Huze's ball was pushed hard, and it fell far away in a small pond. Several of Huze's assistants closed their mouths in embarrassment, and Huzer honestly began to count the bills after a curse that absolutely did not match his current status, and he groaned and said: "Yi, this morning, you won me 178,000 euros, God, I didn't earn a dollar back." ”
Yi Chen looked at Phil with a smile and took the banknote, and said with a smile: "Do you care about such a small amount of money? A batch of cars from the Yamaguchi Group, with a higher level of quality and grade, has arrived, you see...... You don't need to be so stingy. ”
Huze smiled: "Oh, I'm not sad for 170,000, I'm worrying that if you come to me every day to play golf in the future, do I have to come with a large amount of cash every day......? I'm going to suggest an ATM in this stadium, I swear. Damn, can't they just let me take a break? Don't they know that I'm discussing something important with a real gentleman?"
A few black-clothed men who were standing a hundred meters away walked over quickly, and the tall guy who took the lead calmly handed over the mobile phone in his hand to Huze, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Minister, the Prime Minister's call, the secret envoy of the United States has arrived, maybe you should end your leisure time...... Your projected plan was two hours, but you've wasted an extra two hours and thirty-two minutes. ”
Huze looked at Yi Chen in distress, took the phone and whispered a few words, and then spread his hand helplessly to Yi Chen and said, "Look ......"
Yi Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "There are at least four billion people in the world who envy your busy life, and those who hold power always need to sacrifice a little personal life. ”
Huzer said seriously: "I envy you, Yi, your rights can be said to be similar to mine, right? But you can use your time freely, God is so unfair." ”
Yi Chen didn't care about Huze's little jealousy, and said with a smile: "God is always unfair, you have my incomparable prestige and status compared to me, God, should I pray: 'Let me, a kind person, become the Minister of Defense of the British Empire.'" 'Oh, do you think that could happen?'
Huze laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe: "Oh my God, kind Yi? God...... You're so humorous...... Oh, come on, I can't waste my time, or our dear head of the secret service will be reprimanded by his superiors for failing to do his duty...... Yi, do you need me to arrange a few official bodyguards for you?"
Yi Chen walked towards the main building of the stadium with Huze, shook his head and said, "Are you kidding? Come on, I don't have the status to command Mr. Agent...... Huzer, dear Huze, power is lovely, but ...... You must not get carried away, being cautious is the way to be an official. ”
Huzer slapped his face lightly and whispered, "Aha, yes, I'm too ...... Thanks for the reminder, easy. If I'm free, I'll play with you again, and I'll make my money back, I swear...... Of course, I'll remind those lovely law enforcement officers to be careful, okay?"
Yi Chen smiled and nodded, watching as several black cars drove over, and several agents were even waiting in the car with Hughner's suits.
Seeing Huzer's convoy moving away, Yi Chen sighed and said, "Oh, Phil, do you understand? Why don't I want to take up a position in Mr. Hughner's political axe? You don't want you, as my senior assistant, to be protected by a few little lambs all day long, do you?"
Phil was about to answer when the cell phone in his pocket rang, and Kane reported, "Phil, where is the boss?" Mr. Dracula is here, and Michelle's little chick is about to tear down our living room. ”
Yi Chen had already heard Kane's words, and he hurriedly said: "Phil, tell them that we will go back immediately, and tell Fili to coax Michelle, I don't want our new and old nest to be burned down by a fire." ”――
In Chinatown, Jester and Dracula are clashing glasses, while Michelle and Fili run to the underground vault to admire the fine jewels looted from the Tower of London. Looking at Michelle's almost blood-red eyes, a very funny thought popped up in Fili's head: "Are vampires and dragons close relatives? both are bat wings, and besides, some individuals are so fond of jewelry...... However, Fili forgot how weak her resistance to these jewels was.
The seven of them staggered into the living room with Chekov, lying on the couch or carpet casually, and then lit marijuana.
Jester frowned: "Chekov, what are you doing?"
Chekov Silver smiled and said, "Oh...... I gave Skye a lesson on how the human instinct and the greatest human invention, the Internet, work together to show off the tremendous effects of each other. You say, don't you?"
Skye nodded his head and smiled, looking at Dracula disrespectfully. Dracula's eyebrows furrowed, as if he hadn't seen their dirty eyes, he didn't want to say anything more about the seven scum who were famous among the Bloodline, so he didn't notice the subtle changes that Skye had produced. After all, the 'Heavenly Star Jue', except for the people of the 'Heavenly Star Sect', it was difficult for outsiders to discover that kind of strange star power reaction.
Jester spit a puff of smoke into his wine glass, then drained the wine and smoke in one gulp, smacked his lips, and asked, "Okay, Mr. Dracula, do you have anything else to do in London this time other than being the bodyguard of Michelle's bad girl? You see, you have thirty archdukes with you, I think this strength is enough to ensure Michelle's safety, right? Five archdukes can easily kill you, thirty archdukes, one more than you, one less of you...... There doesn't seem to be any weakening in strength. ”
Dracula's eyes widened and he muttered, "You're welcome, huh...... Of course, protecting Michelle is just one of my tasks, and for the rest, we're negotiating with an unscrupulous bastard, and if he accepts our terms, we'll come to London, and if he refuses our request, then we're going to snipe at them, and that's it. ”
Jester lazily leaned on the arm of the sofa, one thigh slung up, and pressed on Ace's shoulder without any appearance, and sneered, "Oh, who is that poor bastard boy who doesn't know what to do?
Dracula shook her head, "You, not yet, a bastard that has given us a headache and almost destroyed the social ethics of our bloodline...... Hmph, if it weren't for my brother, they would have kept this bastard boy for a purpose, and I would have taken someone to kill him now. ”
Yi Chen's voice came from the doorway: "Aha, are you talking about that lovely Mr. Charles? Oh, what an unfortunate young man, did he offend the rules of the Bloods somewhere? Is he really the descendant of the intermarriage between the Bloods and the Humans, as you say?"
Yi Chen walked in with a smile on his face, Phil followed closely behind, and a little further behind, Kane and Gore, who had been busy with their own affairs just now, also followed. Dracula grabbed Skye on the couch on the right with one hand, threw him out, and reprimanded, "Don't you know to give up your seat when you see your boss coming?"
Yi Chen laughed: "Oh, it's okay, I'm used to it, I'm about to add a little sofa or other furniture to this reception room, but since Mr. Skye is so enthusiastic to give up his seat, then I'm not welcome...... Phil, prepare a good feast, and I find that Mr. Dracula has a strong sense of identification with human cuisine. ”
Dracula smiled, and Skye, who was thrown by Dracula at the base of the wall more than ten meters away, cursed fiercely in his stomach for a while, and didn't bother to get up, and lay directly on the ground, continuing to swallow clouds and mist.
Yi Chen asked, "Mr. Dracula, it's been a while, what are you going to do besides continuing to be Miss Michelle's bodyguard?"
Jester was just about to answer Yi Chen's question, but Dracula had already spoken first: "Yi, a deal, are you interested?"
Yi Chen didn't answer immediately, but picked up the wine glass that Gore handed over, raised his head and drank it down, and then was silent for a while before asking, "What kind of deal? I always have an inexplicable uneasy feeling about trading with a person like you." ”
Dracula laughed, "Oh, dear Yi, haven't we ever traded?, behold, the arms that took over one of the vaults of our Philip family were soon sold to me by you?"
Yi Chen smirked: "I always like to take the initiative to ask for a transaction, and it is always difficult to weigh the pros and cons when someone else proposes to trade...... Besides, what else can I make with you? Arms? You certainly won't want it...... Drugs?The nobles of the Blood Clan are rarely interested in drugs, except for these wonderful people under my command...... I've never been in the human trafficking business, don't you know?"
Dracula smiled, "Oh yes, it's definitely not these deals you imagined...... You see, we, the Philip family, would like to hire you as president of our family business in Europe?...... Oh, you listen to our conditions first, we give you a good annual salary as a commission, and you can take a part of the original shares of the company, would you?"
Yi Chen's mouth opened wide: "God is above, bless you poor Grand Duke of the Blood Clan, is your head ...... Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted that you're in a very lucid state right now. But Mr. Dracula, don't you think that having the head of an underworld as the president of your family business, an important region, is a very difficult thing for me to understand?"
Dracula shrugged: "You are a talented man. We believe that you can bring us good profits. ”
Yi Chen shook his head uninterestedly and said: "If your family business has an arsenal, then maybe I can let them occupy a good position in the world arms market, but I don't have any interest in serious business management, and I won't manage it...... So, while I'm very interested in your shares, it's not my interest and I can't promise you. You can find a multinational company at will to poach their president, and there is always one person who is suitable. ”
Dracula rubbed his hands awkwardly and asked, "This, this is a condition of exchange, easy, don't you ......?"
Yi Chen interrupted him: "No, Mr. Dracula, I have not accepted the benefits you have given me, so it is not appropriate for you to ask me again, is it? I do not want to be the president of the European head office of your family business, and that's it." ”
Yi Chen laughed quickly and viciously: "Of course, if you are willing, I am willing to recommend a few of my subordinates to work in your company, maybe they will be willing to earn a little extra money in their spare time to help me kill people?" Skye's eyes lit up at once, and they looked at Dracula with blazing eyes.
Dracula hurriedly shook his head: "Oh, forget it, we have very good employees, we just need a good president, these excellent subordinates of yours, I don't think it suits the atmosphere of our family business, yes...... By the way, Yi, would you like to be a friend of our family?"
Yi Chen spread his hands: "Look, aren't we friends now? a human, a blood clan, we sit together affectionately, come, cheers...... Behold, we also clink glasses and drink together, are we not friends?"
Dracula was a little annoyed that his family hadn't given him a tongue as nimble as Dusty, and he really didn't know how to say his conditions and what he wanted of Dusty in a proper tone. Dracula turned the empty glass angrily, the glint of anger in his eyes flickering as he carefully conceived the words.
Yi Chen had already realized that Dracula must have something strange to ask him for, otherwise why would it be difficult for them to put forward these inexplicable conditions for Dracula? Seeing that he was not coveting the position of the president of their family, it was estimated that Dracula was about to play another card, right? Friend...... Friend...... Well, emotional cards are a very useful thing. What about friends? Is it hard for Docula to want to join their Philip family? It's a little too funny.
Dracula, on the other hand, simply asked, "Yi, would you like to join our Philip family?"
Jester and Chekov made a toad-like 'clucking' sound from inside their necks, and looked at Dracula with round eyes. Skye and the others looked at Dracula as if they were stunned by the glow of the Pope's own hands. Phil, Gore, and Kane are the three most composed, and there is no change in expression on the surface, but they are also very surprised in their hearts.
Yi Chen laughed: "Oh my God, oh my God, I'm joining the Philip family? God, or should I call Satan's name now? You see, I'm a human being, and what about the Philip family? Isn't it an ancient family called the royal family of the blood family? Will he want a human to join his family?"
Dracula hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course, of course, if you feel that your human identity is an obstacle, my brother is willing to give you a first hug and make you a ......" Dracula forgot about using powerful power to lure Yi Chen, and directly made this request.
With a bang, the bottle in Gore's hand slammed into the cart, spilling Chekov with the spray.
Yi Chen was really stunned this time, he shook his head and said, "No, of course...... No, I ...... Well, Mr. Dracula, I don't mean to look down on the Bloods, but I'm very happy as a human being, and maybe you don't know, I don't want to be a vampire, do I? Even if Prince Philip gave me the first embrace and made me a nobleman of the Bloodline, but I ...... I don't have that desire...... Alright, alright, let's not dwell on these boring conditions, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Dracula excitedly said, "So, you agreed?, aha, my brother, the Prince of the Philip family, he proposed a reform measure in the Dark Council, that is, each councillor should have three acting councillors to exercise their rights on their behalf when they are not at the council headquarters...... You see, we need a smart, powerful person to help us in some positions...... We don't have a shortage of skilled killers in our Bloodline, but you're the best strategist I've ever met, and you're still our friend, and you don't have any prejudice against our Bloodline, do you?"
Yi Chen called out in a low voice: "Aha, your brother is a great man, is he trying to expand the power of your blood clan in the Dark Council?"
Dracula confessed: "These things, it seems that they can't be hidden from you, you see ......"
Yi Chen pondered for a long time, sighed and shook his head, "I don't know your detailed plan, but I don't want to enter the Dark Council, that is a dangerous existence, no matter how much your family is willing to give me, but human life is always precious, isn't it?"
Dracula sighed, "Of course, I can understand your thoughts...... As my brother said, the lure of money and power is not enough to make you agree to our request, and this is really a nerve-wracking thing, so we can only put forward the final conditions. ”
Yi Chen glanced at Jester sensitively, Jester frowned slightly, and sure enough, Dracula said: "If you can cooperate with us in the Dark Council to gain greater power, then, if our blood clan can control the Dark Council, we will do our best to assist Mr. Jester in taking revenge on the Holy See...... In the current situation, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for Mr. Jester to kill the high-ranking people of the Holy See, right?"
Jester shook his head and said simply: "I'm not in a hurry to seek revenge from the Holy See, I have a long time to plan this matter slowly...... I don't need the power of the Dark Council. ”
Dracula was stunned for a moment.
Yi Chen said with great interest: "Don't worry about this kid, he has an incomparable enthusiasm for killing the Pope, otherwise why would he become the second-degree deacon of the Council?
Jester yelled, "Boss, I don't want to ......"
Yi Chen glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Is there anything else?"
Before Jester could speak, Dracula nodded and said, "Of course, if you become one of the three acting councillors, you can immediately ask for a duel to be called for Mr. Jester to fight to the death with the head of the German branch of the Dark Council who betrayed the Shackel family...... That guy has a good background within the council, and if he doesn't have a strong supporter, even if Jester succeeds in revenge, I'm afraid his fate will be ......"
Yi Chen pondered for a long time, shook his head and sighed, "Alas, is this all the conditions you offer?"
Dracula hurriedly added: "All the conditions can be exchanged...... We also have the sincerity to set up a stronghold of our family in London, and you see, perhaps you would like to be the head of it?...... Ah, I forgot one thing, the magic pool is about to be reactivated, and he will increase people's strength...... Maybe you have a penchant for power? Of course, great power is always desirable. ”
After two hours of haggling, Dracula and Dusty finally reached a final agreement.
Yi Chen served as the so-called acting councilor, but he still spent most of his time in London, he didn't want to deal too much with the people of the Dark Council, and all the intrigues, Yi Chen could help with advice...... As the price for Yi Chen's agreement to this plan, the president of the Philip family's European head office became Yi Chen's bag.
Jester looked at Yi Chen in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Boss, you won't be so boring, right?"
Yi Chen laughed, and instead of answering Jester's question, he said to Dracula: "You see, I've actually been really bored lately, I don't even know what I should pursue, maybe, I can bankrupt the Philip family's European company, it's a very fulfilling job." As for the Dark Council, maybe I can be Speaker, who knows?"
Dracula was stunned, and Kane had already laughed knowingly, yes, Dust's power and power can't be increased in the short term, why not try a new, exciting life? Of course, Dusty would never explain how much of a role the terms related to Jester played in his decision......
