Chapter 568 The Whip Hit the Body
The negotiations were quite lengthy, with both sides constantly testing each other's strengths and bargaining, and they were not yet over after nearly three hours.
This is normal. In fact, real negotiation itself is just a matter of bickering, just like bargaining for vegetables at the market.
It’s just that the places and names are different, but the essence is the same.
"Mr. Speaker, what you gave me is too little. You didn't put me in the right position to discuss a relatively fair plan."
"To put it simply, Hong Kong is at its most critical stage. You think I am valuable, and the mainland also thinks I am valuable, and they have promised me even more."
Lei Zhen put out his cigarette and stood up, not intending to continue the conversation.
"Remember, the chaos now only affects the lowest class in Hong Kong. When the wealthy start to get into trouble, there won't be such fair prices anymore."
This is a warning and also an advice.
The chaos in Hong Kong now is caused by cases like robbery, with tens of thousands of cases occurring every day, and we cannot handle them all.
But in the final analysis, it is just a small case. If it involves Hong Kong's wealthy and elite people, it will be a big deal.
"Mr. Dark Emperor, there's nothing that can't be discussed, right?" Speaker Ethelwood said, trying to persuade him. "I have a good idea that will satisfy both parties."
"Killing me is the best way, but it's the hardest way."
"Do you really think I came here alone? How could I have come to the ship alone without making all the necessary preparations? My life used to be cheap, but now it's very precious!"
"Mr. Speaker, you need some time to think carefully..."
Lei Zhen left these words, walked out of the cabin, and ended the negotiation.
If the terms are not negotiated well, the foreigners will be so fucking cunning!
Similarly, Speaker Ethelwood also felt that Lei Zhen was very cunning and too difficult to fool. He thought that he could win him over by giving him a little benefit, but he didn't expect that he would be much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
The quality of the negotiation does not affect other aspects, because further discussions will have to be conducted, and big interests are involved, so nothing can be done in one go.
So Lei Zhen continued to waste his time on the gambling boat, and Hong Kong continued to be in chaos, but the way of chaos had undergone fundamental changes.
A luxurious villa in Jardine's Lookout was attacked. Dozens of thugs rushed into the home of the famous wealthy man Lao Liu, smashed several of his luxury cars into scrap metal, and set it on fire as they left.
The surrounding villas were not spared either. The thugs threw Molotov cocktails at random, causing intimidation and property damage to at least a dozen households.
This is a place where rich people gather, and everyone is very prestigious. Naturally, they are extremely angry when attacked like this.
And this anger will naturally be directed at the police.
"What on earth do you guys do for a living? I pay so much tax every year, is that all I use to support a bunch of idiots like you?"
"The thugs threw Molotov cocktails at my house. Fortunately, they were just Molotov cocktails. What if they were bombs?"
"A bunch of good-for-nothings, do you have the ability to maintain public order? If not, get out and go guard the pond!"
“…”
When it comes to the personal safety of the rich, it is not so easy to fool people, because only whoever is hit by the whip will feel the pain.
Boris was furious when he heard the news.
But before he could figure out how to deal with the situation, news came that more wealthy residential areas had been attacked.
Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Victoria Peak, Mount Kellett, Shek O Peninsula...
All the top wealthy areas were in trouble. Security guards clashed with thugs, resulting in heavy casualties. They were unable to stop the thugs from rushing in, causing damage to the houses of many wealthy people.
Fortunately, they just threw something like a Molotov cocktail in there and did not cause any harm to the personal safety of the rich family.
But that's enough!
There are so many wealthy people, all of whom are well-known figures in various industries, and behind them are various complicated networks of relationships.
When they feel threatened, the power they unleash is enough to force Britain to replace the Hong Kong boss.
Boris's phone has never stopped ringing, filled with questions from wealthy people.
"Sir Lin, don't worry, we are arresting the thugs!"
"Mr. Xu, we will do our best to ensure the safety of you and your family, please rest assured..."
It’s not just the wealthy, there are also outstanding contributors who have been awarded titles, and outstanding contributors who have been awarded Justices of the Peace.
In short, Hong Kong's upper class feels an unprecedented threat and is questioning the ability of the Hong Kong authorities.
These were all arranged by Lei Zhen in advance.
The chaos at the bottom is a reminder; the chaos at the top is what really makes people panic.
You only feel the pain when the whip hits your body. Now it is just raised high and lowered gently, and no real harm is caused.
If the talks still fail, no one knows how the situation will develop.
On the cruise ship.
Lei Zhen soaked comfortably in the bathtub, enjoying the girl's meticulous massage service, and glanced at Congressman Hanks sitting opposite him with half-closed eyes.
"Mr. Dark Emperor, the previous communication was a bit hasty, so we weren't fully prepared. I think things will be pleasant from now on."
Congressman Hanks came over with a smile on his face, wanting to ask Lei Zhen to go back and continue negotiating with the Speaker.
"Why don't we have Mr. Ethelwood come here and talk? It'll be nice to have a tub bath, be honest and open, and we can all play with the girls together.
"This is a really crazy idea. Obviously Mr. Ethelwood can't accept it. After all, he is old..."
Faced with Lei Zhen's proposal, Congressman Hanks could only smile and use age as an excuse.
"As long as it's not hanging on the wall, it can be used. I think Mr. Ethelwood is still as skilled as ever. If he is willing to come over, I think we will have a more pleasant chat." Lei Zhen said with a smile.
From Hanks's behavior, he could tell what stage Xiangjiang had reached, and that it was progressing smoothly.
So the one who was anxious was not Lei Zhen, but people like Speaker Ethelwood.
These bastards can ignore the opinions of ordinary people, but they cannot ignore the dissatisfaction of the rich, so they must press the pause button as soon as possible.
"Of course, if Mr. Ethelwood doesn't mind me being six hours late—" Lei Zhen laughed, "We're all men, you should understand."
"Six hours?"
"Yes, six hours." Lei Zhen said to Congressman Hanks while playing with the girl's earlobe, "If I'm not mistaken, the wealthy have already been impacted. This is the second stage, and the third stage is about to begin."
Each stage is clearly divided, and you can tell what to do and when. Now it's the mob attack, and next it's very likely that blood will be shed.
"Tell Mr. Ethelwood to treat me the same way you treat the Fog City. Only in this way can you stay awake in the fog."
"Perhaps..." Councilman Hanks shrugged and said, "Ethelwood would like to take a bath too, after all, he has come all this way."
Lei Zhen smiled and watched the other party walk out.
After about ten minutes, Speaker Ethelwood arrived and took a tub bath with him.
The reason why I feel so happy is mainly because of what Lei Zhen said: Please look at me from the perspective of the Fog City.
