Chapter 32 Bribery (Part 2)



"I will give you a plan later. I need you to go to three coastal cities in Africa to help me negotiate a project in the name of the Ministry of Noble Affairs and my name."

Alan said with a smile.

"……Africa?"

Hutt blinked. Why is international cooperation going to Africa?

He knew this job was not easy!

"I understand, sir! Please leave it to me."

For the sake of the pound, he endured it!

"Okay! Shitou, take Mr. Hurt to have a cup of tea and get the plan by the way."

Allen really admires people like Hurt who know how to deal with things. When someone spends a lot of money to bribe you, if he only gives you a simple job, there must be a trap!

Only things that are difficult to do are worth spending a lot of money on. Obviously, Hurt understands this.

The stream was quiet again. Fritz looked at the silent Allen and couldn't help but said, "Sir... I..."

"Fritts, huh? I need you to do something for me."

With Hurt's previous experience as a lesson, Fritz said honestly: "Please speak, sir."

"I need you to help me negotiate a deferral of estate taxes."

"???"

Fritz was stunned, and for a moment he suspected that he was hallucinating.

Can I help you negotiate an estate tax deferral for myself?

Is this how it should be understood?

"Sir... please wait a moment. You want me to help you negotiate the extension of inheritance tax? And the person who is in charge of negotiating inheritance tax with you now is me!"

"That's right! I've even thought of the reasons for you! I don't agree with the bank's current valuation of our assets. I think someone is maliciously lowering the price, which has seriously damaged my interests. I plan to apply for a reassessment of the value of our assets."

Alan looked at Fritz seriously and even gave a very reasonable reason.

"This... I wonder when and which organization you are going to ask for a reassessment?"

In the face of doubts, theoretically, this is how it can be done.

Allen spread his hands and said, "I originally wanted to find two professional institutions to re-evaluate me, but I can't even afford the evaluation fee now, so I can only wait."

"???"

You even bribed the staff of the Ministry of Noble Affairs with 100,000 pounds right in front of me just now!

That's one hundred thousand pounds!

You didn't even try to hide it, and now you tell me that you don't even have the money to pay this tiny bit of assessment fee?

Fritz's eyes widened. He never expected that Alan's reason was so simple and crude.

It's simply impossible to complain about it.

It’s okay if you just lie to me!

Before Fritz could refuse, Allen's eyes slowly turned cold. He looked at Fritz's face with interest and said, "You help me with something, fifty thousand pounds! For this kind of thing, you should know better than me what to do! I always believe in leaving professional matters to professionals!"

Fritz's mouth twitched. This gentleman is indeed...

Should we leave professional matters to professionals?

Your Excellency, you are a professional!

You let me solve it myself, that's really professional!

"Sir... this is against the rules, please forgive me..."

Seeing that this guy was quite stubborn, Alan's eyes turned cold. He hated such hypocritical people. Apart from leaving a worse impression on others, they were of no benefit at all.

"Oh? Mr. Fritz, have you heard about the great event that happened in Carmarthenshire a few days ago?"

After tapping his head, Alan said as if he had just remembered something: "Later on the day we first met, the Carmarthen police cracked down on a large Korean criminal gang. It is said that there were casualties, and the suspect... has not been arrested yet."

As soon as Allen finished speaking, cold sweat began to flow uncontrollably from Fritz's head.

This reminded him of the tragic experience of that day. He didn't care what happened in Carmarthenshire. But the words of this lord, although they sounded like gossip to him, but...

This can also be understood as a threat, right?

There are suspects out there who haven't been caught yet, which means there's danger out there...

So if he doesn't agree today, will he encounter danger on the road as soon as he leaves the gate of this manor?

If someone else threatened him, he might not take it seriously, but he really dared to do that to the person in front of him!

He had experienced the feeling of a bullet flying past his ear last time, and he didn't want to experience it again.

"Uh... Your Excellency, I think this matter is not without room for maneuver. I will do my best to help you deal with it after I return."

Fritz changed his tough attitude very willingly.

"Hmm? Try your best?"

Alan raised an eyebrow, sounding a little confused.

"No, no, no, sir, I will do my best to do this after I return!"

"snort……"

Alan snorted coldly and stood up. He lowered his head slightly to glance at Fritz and said, "Very good, that's good. Let's go back!"

Fritz followed Alan obediently towards the manor and heard Alan's voice again.

"Oh, right... don't leave in a hurry. In half an hour, use the phone here to call home and ask your wife if she has received a package. Inside is 50,000 pounds in cash. You can handle the source of this money yourself, right?"

"Yes, yes. No need to worry about it."

At this point, Fritz was stunned and a layer of white sweat instantly appeared on his back.

His home is in London!

In other words, within half an hour, the person sent by this Excellency will go to his house to give money to his wife? !

It seems like sending money now, but...if I had persisted a little longer, would the money sent to my home still be pounds?

Fritz slowly raised his head, looked at Alan with trembling lips, not knowing what to say.

"Hehe...Mr. Fritz, you don't look very well. I heard that the public security in London has been bad recently. Is that why you didn't get a good rest last night?"

“No, no!”

Fritz didn't know what to say, but he just felt his calves trembling. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. He wanted to go back to London to see his wife and children.

“Pah.”

Alan patted Fritz's shoulder with his big hand and said, "Frittz, you know, I'm going to be busy recently. There are many things that need my attention, so... I don't have time to think about inheritance tax, do you understand?"

"I understand! Sir, I understand. Don't worry, I will delay it as you request in a short time!"

This time, Fritz's tone was extremely firm and his attitude was very good!

Three days later, in the meeting room on the first floor of the Hill family manor.

The manor had not been as lively as it was today for a long time, with dozens of guests sitting in the conference hall.

In addition to Siphis from the magazine, there were a few people who looked extremely fierce. From the way they sat, they looked a bit like retired veterans.

Butler Hut smiled and asked the servants to bring tea, and several male servants carried an old-fashioned slide projector and placed it on the conference table.

There were no high-tech gadgets like laptops for playing PPT these days, so we could only use this kind of projector slides.
