20 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong Island.
There stands a building that reaches into the sky.
The owner of the building is Wheelock and Company, one of the four major British trading companies.
After Mo Zhexuan left the temporary market on Haiphong Road, he quickly rushed here.
Prepare to get back the compensation from my parents in this life.
Wheelock Shipping Company had contacted him several times before and offered to pay him HK$200,000 in compensation to settle the matter.
At that time, the original person could not accept this fact and was so sad that he was hospitalized, so no reconciliation was reached.
Once he takes over the original body, he will naturally not sign.
Are two lives only worth 200,000 Hong Kong dollars? How is that possible? It should be at least ten times more!
Speaking of which, Mo Minghua and his wife are really unlucky, as they have to save money.
Instead of buying a ticket and taking the ship back to Malaysia, I took a ride.
After learning from the news that a cargo ship fully loaded with goods was heading to Malaysia.
He chose to spend a small amount of money to bribe the captain and get on board.
This is where the problem arises, as cargo ships exposed to the outside are unsafe.
It happened that the typhoon and rain were very strong at that time, and although the two men were tied with ropes.
But under the ravages of the strong wind, they were all swept away like kites with broken strings.
He fell into the sea and died in an instant. It was both sad and lamentable.
If it is a problem with the ferry company.
The insurance payout for the two of them was HK$1 million easily.
But now that there is no insurance and it is a private act in collusion with the captain, it becomes difficult to deal with.
As soon as I walked into the Wheelock Building, a young lady in a white dress came up to me at the front desk and said with a hint of sympathy:
"Mr. Mo! Hello! Manager Daniel is in the office. I'll take you there."
"Okay! Thank you for your help."
Mo Zhexuan pretended to be sad and nodded.
Go to the office on the far right of the second floor.
I saw a blue-eyed, black-haired Western man sitting on an office chair.
It was Daniel, the general manager of Wheelock Shipping Company.
"Mr. Mo! First of all, I apologize for what happened."
"Mr. Daniel, you're too polite. Now that it has happened, what we need is a solution."
Daniel was a little surprised when he heard this.
Is this the first time I meet that timid Chinese person?
Now he seemed like a different person, but he still said straight to the point:
"Okay! On behalf of Wheelock Shipping Company, I'll add another HK$100,000 to the HK$200,000. This is our greatest sincerity."
"Mr. Daniel! You have to understand that those were two real lives lost. Both of them were less than fifty years old. They left this world forever. Do you think your company can resolve this matter so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhexuan immediately pretended to be in great pain, with crystal clear tears even flowing from the corners of his eyes, completely turning into the incarnation of an Oscar-winning actor.
"Sorry, Mr. Mo, but it was they who chose to board our company's ship. We didn't force your parents to do so. Furthermore, this compensation is based solely on humanitarian principles. If it were legal, our company wouldn't even have to pay a penny, so I hope you'll stop."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Daniel's eyes. In his heart, he always believed that the Chinese were an inferior race. It was good enough that they could give compensation. Now they wanted to ask for too much, so he naturally chose to threaten.
"Mr. Daniel! Since you say so, I'll take my leave. Tomorrow, I believe all the newspapers in Hong Kong will report a news story about a Wheelock Shipping Company cargo ship carrying passengers, resulting in the deaths of a middle-aged couple. Let's let the citizens of Hong Kong judge who is right and who is wrong."
Mo Zhexuan was not someone who could be frightened. He had a very thorough understanding of the psychology of the foreigner in front of him.
If the incident really gets out of hand, he doesn't believe that other shipping companies in Hong Kong will remain indifferent.
They will definitely secretly add fuel to the fire, which will cause immeasurable damage to Henderson Land's reputation.
"Mr. Mo! Let's talk more, or you can name a price." Daniel shouted hurriedly as he looked at Mo Zhexuan's back as he quickly left.
"One price, three million Hong Kong dollars." Mo Zhexuan turned around and shouted out the number with great momentum.
"Shit! Absolutely impossible, at most 600,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"Two and a half million Hong Kong dollars!"
"At most 800,000 Hong Kong dollars!"
"Two million two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!"
"One million Hong Kong dollars!"
“......................”
The two of them instantly turned into a scene of bargaining between vegetable vendors in the vegetable market, with both sides arguing back and forth.
After a lot of bargaining, they finally reached an agreement on a price of HK$1.5 million.
Although Daniel was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he didn't want any more accidents to happen.
He immediately asked his secretary to call a lawyer to draft a contract, but the cunning man would not be so kind.
After the contract was drafted, he urged Mo Zhexuan to sign it.
If it were a young person who was not very worldly-wise, he would have probably been deceived long ago.
But Mo Zhexuan was a top fund manager on Wall Street in his previous life.
How could such a little trick escape his sharp eyes?
Instead, he calmly reviewed every word and sentence, and addressed any ambiguities in the contract.
All the obvious loopholes were pointed out one by one.
In particular, there is a very deep hidden loophole that can better show the cunning of the foreigners.
He even falsely accused the signing of this contract of blackmail.
If I go to court, I'm completely finished.
An hour later, Mo Zhexuan read the contract from beginning to end, from top to bottom no less than ten times.
After making sure there were no loopholes in the contract, he signed his name with confidence.
"Mr. Daniel! It's a pleasure to work with you!"
"Mr. Mo! This kind of cooperation is pure blackmail."
Daniel knew that he had met a tough opponent today and that his little tricks would not work on the young man in front of him.
I could only grit my teeth and sign my name on the contract, but my heart was bleeding.
"see a visitor out!"
"Hahaha! Don't bother, I can go by myself."
Mo Zhexuan is now in high spirits as he was able to get a compensation of up to HK$1.5 million from Henderson Land Development.
This is not easy. I really want to publicize it, but because of the confidentiality agreement, I can only keep it to myself.
But he was determined to make this foreigner pay the price in the future.
We must get this high-quality asset from Wheelock and must not let the charter king get there first.
After walking out of the Wheelock Building, I bought a mobile phone.
Then he called Liu Zhi, the customer manager of Hang Seng Bank, and agreed to meet at the Kowloon Stock Exchange in the afternoon.
