The Black Card - Chapter 1367

[Chapter 1365 Pretending without pretense]

Shi Lei gave to the yacht company was a GPS location. Although it was a bit off, the area around the castle was quite empty and it was basically the only multi-story building within a kilometer.

When the people from the yacht company arrived, they were a little confused. After all, Shi Lei’s name was obviously a Chinese name, the information was also from China, and even the final destination of the yacht was in China.

They knew very well that Shi Lei should be a Chinese.

It is simply unbelievable that a Chinese can own an ancient castle in a place like London.

Although it is rare for a yacht company like them to have customers who can spend 30 million euros, it is really not worth making too much fuss about.

After all, buying a car or a house might make you look like a wealthy person, but buying a yacht might seem a bit aristocratic.

Therefore, the person who could buy this yacht so quickly and only after talking on the phone must be a rich and powerful person.

But being rich and powerful doesn’t mean you can own a castle, especially in a place like London.

Britain is a famously old-fashioned country. Although the royal family only exists symbolically, the fact that it still retains the royal family and the titles of nobility after so many years is enough to show how old-fashioned and conservative this country is.

Owning a castle in France is not a particularly unusual thing. Although a castle is always a symbol of reputation, if you have a certain amount of money, you can still buy it.

There are many other European countries that still have royal families, but the UK is almost unique in that they often regard the king or queen as a spiritual symbol.

The royal families of other countries are more or less in name only.

Even in those countries, it is possible to “buy” noble titles with money, but in the UK, this possibility is extremely low.

But this Mr. Shi Lei actually owns an old castle in the suburbs of London, which occupies quite a large area. This seems to show that his identity is very unusual.

Under such a psychological influence, the representatives of the yacht company and the lawyers were naturally in awe before they even entered the castle.

When the car arrived at the door, the iron door slowly opened, and an old butler with gray hair in a tuxedo stood respectfully behind the door.

This is a typical old British butler. Every movement is like a part on a machine tool, perfectly matched.

It seems respectful, but in fact he continues the deep-seated arrogance of a British aristocrat, even if he is just a butler.

After confirming the identity of the people in the car, the old housekeeper motioned for the people from the yacht company to follow him, but the car could only be parked in the parking space near the door.

Looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, everything is taken care of in an extremely orderly manner. Although only one gardener is seen working in the yard, it does not give people a sense of loneliness at all.

On the contrary, a noble aristocratic atmosphere filled it.

Going up the steps with awe, the old housekeeper politely pushed the door open, and the maid inside quickly opened the door, then folded her hands on her belly, lowered her head and welcomed the two guests into the castle. .

“You two, please wait a moment. I will ask the master to come down.”

The words were spoken with a strong London accent, and there was an inexplicable sense of the vicissitudes of the nineteenth century.

After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he didn’t wait for the two people’s answers and walked straight towards the stairs.

The maid had already pushed the trolley over, placed two gilded teacups in front of the two of them, and poured tea for them with the same teapot.

“Guest, please use it.” After saying that, he put two small plates of refreshments on the coffee table and pushed the trolley out of the living room.

This etiquette is simply too pretentious. Even the French, who are no strangers to royal etiquette, will feel that all this puts a lot of pressure on them, making them feel like they dare not breathe.

Sitting on the sofa, they didn’t dare to relax at all, and they didn’t dare to take a sip of the black tea in front of them, even though they were actually a little thirsty.

After waiting for a while, before Shi Lei appeared, the lawyer looked around and lowered his voice and said, “Who is the client this time? This is London. How did he do it?” “Maybe

. A knight enthroned by the royal family. In short, try to be more polite when speaking.” “

This is what a rich person should do. Since the wealth has been exhausted, you still need to have some dignity.”

The two of them nodded together and heard the sound coming from the stairs. Footsteps.

In fact, Shi Lei didn’t pay much attention to this. He didn’t expect that these two people would have such drastic psychological changes when they saw the castle and came in to wait for him.

Whether he buys a castle or hires a housekeeper or a servant, his purpose is very simple, just to spend money. He has not developed enough to consciously use these methods to show off.

Everything is unconscious, purely for squandering, but his current squandering method is getting closer and closer to the lifestyle of a true aristocrat.

That kind of pure local tycoon style of spending money like water no longer has enough value here, because that type of spending method can hardly support Shi Lei’s consumption limit.

The butler led Shi Lei, and after he sat down, while pouring tea for Shi Lei, he quietly introduced the names and identities of the two people to Shi Lei.

He only knew all this when he confirmed his identity at the door. However, when he talked about it now, it was as if he was very familiar with these two people. He didn’t mean anything about every word they said. The mistake was repeated.

Shi Lei nodded, waved his hand, and said to the old housekeeper: “Thank you. You can go down first. I will talk to these two gentlemen.” The

old housekeeper nodded, bowed to Shi Lei, and then left the living room.

Shi Lei then said with a smile: “I’m sorry to keep you two waiting. I got up early in the morning and just lay down for a while.”

The two people hurriedly said with fear and fear: “Mr. Shi is too polite. This is not the case.” That’s what we should do. You see, we are…”

Shi Lei picked up the teacup, gestured to the two of them, and said, “Let’s just sign the contract. We’ve already talked about everything we had to discuss before. I think you two should have prepared the contract.” The

lawyer quickly took it out of his bag. The contract was placed in front of Shi Lei, and he diligently opened it to the first page of the contract text.

After Shi Lei took a sip of tea, the lawyer began to introduce the details of the contract to him, saying that except for some detailed clauses, everything else was their company’s standard contract.

“Mr. Shi, this is probably the situation. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just raise it and we will fully cooperate with you to make changes.” The representative of the yacht company looked at Shi Lei. Although both parties were sitting, there was always something wrong with Shi Lei. Sitting above their heads, they felt like they were looking up at Shi Lei.

In fact, modifications to the contract still have to be reported back and will be finalized by the legal department. However, with this lawyer here, basically there should be no problems from a legal perspective. And the sales representative of the yacht company believes that as long as he takes Shi Lei Once I explain the situation to the company, there will never be any problems with the company.

Shi Lei smiled and said: “There is nothing to modify, everything is fine. I just want to trouble your company to send the yacht to the magic city as soon as possible.” “Please

rest assured about this, after the contract comes into effect today, we will be there on the 15th The yacht will be delivered within 3 days. Then there will be a debugging and maintenance process, which of course requires some cooperation from Mr. Shi’s yacht terminal. Generally speaking, it will not take more than three days. After ten hours of sea trial, It’s ready for delivery.”

Shi Lei nodded with satisfaction and signed his name on the contract.
