Chapter 207 Two Choices
When Eggsy heard the 40 million, he was completely stunned. Migliaccio on the phone was also very worried, but he still told the story again, which made Eggsy even more confused!
It’s not just 40 million, to be exact it should be 50 million!
The 50 million was the first prize he won at a charity auction in France last month. It was a gold auction ticket worth 50 million. Eggsy could use this amount to take away an item from the auction that night.
However, Eggsy was not interested at all at that time, so he planned to return the 50 million yuan directly to the charity organization after the event. The chairman of the charity organization announced this at the time and thanked Eggsy.
But it was this charitable donation that ruined everything!
Because the charity foundation had not received the 50 million, it could only send a letter to Eggsy, originally intending to ask what was going on? And the other party was very considerate to deduct taxes from Eggsy, so the after-tax amount was 40 million!
But when it came to Miliaccio's hands, he suddenly found out that his own boss wanted to donate money, and there was still more than 40 million that had not been deposited into the other party's account. He was so scared that he collapsed.
Unexpectedly, British reporters got the news from somewhere, and some tabloid reporters broke the news directly on the night when Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2:0.
But these tabloid reporters did not say that Eggsy donated the gold vouchers intact, but that Eggsy was committing fraud! Last month, he announced a donation of more than 40 million, but it has not yet arrived. This is a fraud!
Miliaccio could no longer sit still and received a phone call. The first one was to ask whether Eggsy's donation was true, and the other was to ask what to do now?
But after a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, what frightened Miliaccio was that Eggsy really existed, but this was not advertised by Eggsy himself, but was announced to the media by a charity organization.
Migliaccio was speechless for a long time, and then he cursed everyone in French, from Eggsy's former agent to those tabloid reporters, not letting anyone off the hook.
Then he started asking Eggsy how he was going to solve the problem.
Well, it is impossible to donate the money now, because that night Eggsy was attacked by two bodyguards hired by his former agent, and was nearly kidnapped by his own bodyguards on the streets of Paris, France. The two bodyguards who attempted to kidnap him also crashed their car after Eggsy jumped out of the car and escaped. The accident was very serious. Fortunately, Eggsy jumped out of the car in advance.
Jumping out of the car was not a risk for his life, but what was more serious was that the 50 million gold voucher in Eggsy's hand was robbed by the two robbers at the time, and the robbers are still lying in the intensive care unit. As an important physical evidence in this case, the 50 million gold voucher was temporarily kept by the French police.
Therefore, Eggsy does not have these 50 million gold coupons now.
Migliaccio was so angry that he almost went crazy. If he wasn't afraid of scaring Eggsy on the other end of the phone, he would have wanted to lose his temper right in the office!
In fact, Miliaccio knows how much money he has better than Eggsy. In this case, if Eggsy can just pay for it himself, but - how can Eggsy have so much money? Even if you add his weekly salary, contract fees, transfer fees, and endorsement fees, he still doesn't have that much!
Now Eggsy's head is buzzing with worry, and Migliaccio's head is buzzing with anger!
What should we do about this?
Eggsy, who was in a hot head, leaned anxiously on the seat of the bus and said in a hoarse voice: "If it really doesn't work, I will borrow from others and then make up for it?"
After all, in the current situation, the fastest way for Eggsy to solve the problem is to transfer the money to the charity organization's account as soon as possible, and then clarify the accusation of fraud.
He was dragging his increasingly heavy head and thinking about who to borrow money from. Modric beside him coughed lightly. Although Eggsy's voice was not loud, Eggsy was sitting next to Modric, so of course he heard what Eggsy said about borrowing money.
Although it is not clear why Eggsy wants to borrow money, Modric feels that the little guy must have encountered trouble. If he doesn't help at this time, who can Eggsy go to?
Ramos also heard it, but he dared not speak. How should I put it? The Real Madrid captain is indeed rich, but he has failed in several investments before. He originally wanted to invest in another financial industry during this period, but unfortunately his money was taken away by his wife for management and he can't get it out now.
Lend it to Eggsy... Well, I'll go back and ask my wife. It shouldn't be a big problem, but I'll ask my wife first!
Eggsy's voice was originally low, and now it was a little hoarse due to the fever, so some of the teammates in front of him couldn't hear it clearly. But Migliaccio on the phone heard it clearly, and he also knew that there were not many options for Eggsy, or Eggsy could find a way to raise money to fill the gap, anyway, he definitely couldn't take the blame for the fraudulent donation!
Of course, there is a second way, which is to spend time and start from the beginning, from charity organizations, the French police, including Eggsy, to find key people and find people to testify to prove that Eggsy did not defraud donations.
The games were so intense now, if Eggsy wanted to do this, he would definitely not have any rest at all. Not to mention that Migliaccio didn't even know that Eggsy was running a fever.
The temperature on Eggsy's forehead is almost reaching 39 degrees Celsius, and now he has to run around to deal with the reputation crisis fabricated by some tabloid reporters, and he is exhausted.
It's not that Eggsy didn't think of the second method, he just didn't want to waste so much time, so he chose the first method. However, Miliaccio soon gave him a feedback that left him with no choice.
"...If you want to borrow money, I advise you not to do so." Miliaccio looked at the computer in front of him with gritted teeth. To be honest, he really didn't want to take a second look at the unfortunate report. However, Eggsy's idea of borrowing money had already been thought of by the other party who was willing to watch the fun.
They even wrote in the report that "Once the report of Eggsy's fraudulent donation came out, it is not difficult to imagine that he would immediately make up the donation. However, while he was using the reputation of an orphan to make money from the fraudulent donation, did he ever think about those who really needed charitable donations?"
'…Regarding Eggsy's donation fraud incident, I hope he can give proof and a positive response. Our exclusive reporter Benjamin will report the whole process for you.'
It is not difficult to understand why Migliaccio was so angry because of such exaggeration and slander, but this reporter named Benjamin clearly wanted to make a big deal out of it and use Eggsy as a ladder to enhance his own weight in the media industry.
Migliaccio has dealt with many journalists and media, and he has also seen media that do not conceal their true faces. It would be fine if such tabloid media were talking nonsense, but now they are making up stories based on facts, and you really can't explain it. The more you explain, the more excited the other party will be. Then not only will the matter become a big deal, but it will also become an endless media war of words.
Moreover, once we pay attention to them, it will be tantamount to confirming that there is a problem with Eggsy's donation, which will cause a lot of public opinion to cause subsequent troubles for Eggsy, and he may even be forever slandered as "fraudulent donation".
The most important thing is that the other party did this and said it in such an inflammatory way, hoping that Eggsy would give a "hush money" to block the subsequent content.
But Migliaccio didn't want to, and neither did Eggsy! Why would Eggsy give this guy money if he didn't commit fraud?
If he wants to solve the problem, he has to take the trouble now and take time off from the season to find witnesses and evidence to clarify the matter. However, Real Madrid will play against La Liga team Real Mallorca in 3 days. Eggsy was originally on the roster. If Eggsy has to go to France to find someone to prove that he did not commit fraud, he will easily miss the game.
After thinking about it, this is the only way to go. Miliaccio gritted his teeth and told Eggsy his idea, and also told him to forget about raising money to cover the debt, because the media on the other side are waiting for you to do this and make a follow-up so-called "real hammer" article.
"Eggsy, stop wasting time. You still have three days, so let's meet in Paris tomorrow." Migliaccio also has connections in France. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the police station and the media at that time. Can you go to the charity organization yourself?"
"Tomorrow?" Eggsy didn't expect that his plan to raise money for donation would fail so quickly. When he thought about the competition the day after tomorrow and that he still had a fever, and that he had to rush to Paris tomorrow to do these things, Eggsy's head got even bigger.
If he had known there would be so many troubles, he would not have helped Ramos! Although there is a high probability that Ramos will be unhappy with his investment and report the news of failed investment in a few days, it is better than bankrupting his own little money!
But at this point, Eggsy didn't hesitate any more and replied to Migliaccio who was waiting for his news: "Okay, help me book a flight, and we'll meet in Paris tomorrow."
Eggsy's face was red from the fever, but his eyes were still clear and his mind was working fast. Miliaccio must have wanted to split up and complete the errands, socializing and testifying as quickly as possible, and he also specifically mentioned that he would contact the media to end this matter as soon as possible.
Eggsy covered his forehead with his hands due to a headache and rubbed the painful sides of his head. He was still thinking about how to explain the situation to the people from the charity organization and get proof.
Modric and Ramos looked at each other and whispered to Eggsy, "Why are you going to Paris again? What happened?"
Eggsy leaned back in his chair as if exhausted, and slowly explained the situation. However, he also knew that Modric and Ramos were out of reach in this matter, so they couldn't help much. But he could still prepare some fever-reducing patches for Eggsy.
So that night, Modric and Ramos went to Eggsy's dormitory to visit him, and asked him if he really didn't need to borrow money. Of course, Zidane also came with them. He heard about Eggsy's situation and gave him a leave request with instructions, and also a person's phone number.
