Chapter 303
Chapter 303 Manipulation of European auto giants
The rain outside the window was pattering, continuously hitting the window and flying past.
Thick black clouds pressed close to the moon, covering its radiance, as if about to fall, as oppressive as the whole world was silent.
In the dark room, Abel, still not very sleepy, opened his eyes.
He looked at Penelope Cruz curled up in his arms, closed her long eyelashes and fell asleep with a sweet smile.
Looking up again, to Simmons' left in the hotel room, I saw Sophie Marceau also fast asleep. Finally, he glanced at the clock on the wall.
The clock showed it was half past three at night.
In other words, five hours had passed since the end of the reception in Vivendi.
"Dad~"
He lightly smacked Penelope Cruz's peach a few times.
The Spanish national treasure goddess didn't know anything and didn't even wake up. She looked tired and slept well, even snoring lightly.
Abel smiled and shook his head, freed himself from the arm holding his leg, then got off Simmons.
He walked over to the phone on the bedside table and pressed 1 to dial.
After the call was connected, Abel said softly: "It's me, bring me a new set of clothes. Prepare the team, we will go to Orly airport."
On the phone, Edward's voice rang out. After hearing confirmation, Abel went to the nearby bathroom.
More than ten minutes later.
After bathing, Abel came out of the bathroom.
Before leaving the room, he glanced at Penelope Cruz and Sophie Marceau.
After that he didn't remember him anymore and left the room. In the living room of a hotel room outside the bedroom.
Doni and another bodyguard hugged their clothes and watched the boss walk out naked.
The two of them did not react and came to help Abel get dressed.
Upon accepting their services, Abel tells Donnie:
"Hold someone. Tell him he can go to Hollywood now and at least MGM will give him a good chance. Or let them find me in Venice.
Donnie nodded in agreement.
After changing his clothes, Abel left the luxury room of the Saint-Ouen Marcheps hotel without looking back.
Only one female bodyguard remained guarding the living room, in case the two European goddesses woke up the next day.
Abel himself left the Chepsey Hotel in Saint-Ouen at midnight.
At the hotel entrance, I entered my procession and left the 18th arrondissement of Paris. The convoy did not return to District 16 but went to Orly airport.
Orly Airport is one of three main airports in Paris, which are Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Orly Airport and Beauvais Airport.
In the VIP departure lounge at Orly airport, Abel meets Jessica Albadan, whom he hasn't seen in days.
Jessica is wearing normal clothes.
His upper body was covered in a beige T-shirt, and his plump white arms hugged his chest, blocking the view of any outsiders. Part of her waist was exposed, her big pearly white waist made her long legs stand out thanks to her tight low-rise pants.
As soon as she saw Abel appear, she happily jumped up and ran towards Abel.
Halfway through the run, she jumped up and jumped into him after a distance of more than a meter.
This scene broke the hearts of men waiting like her in the VIP waiting room at midnight.
You should know that just now, at least half of these men are daydreaming about having a great encounter with her. The others took action before Abra arrived.
But before he could get close, he was stopped by a bodyguard.
almost caused a conflict.
After all, people who can sit in this late VIP room have a certain status and achievements.
Now seeing this scene, most people have completely given up. Even if there are some people who don't give up, it's useless.
Jessica enthusiastically hugged Abel's arm, and a group of people were waiting to go out.
".Baby, I miss you so much."
"Me too."
"Wuma~"
Jessica Alba, who was held in Abel's arms, walked almost every few steps.
Just as he was about to say a few words to her, he jumped up and wanted to kiss her. Wait to exit the airport and board the Cadillac sedan.
She couldn't wait any longer and climbed onto Abel's lap in the back compartment.
A pair of long legs wrapped around his waist.
Edward in the front immediately carefully lifted the partition between the rear compartment and the front compartment.
The place less than a meter away from the front and back has become two worlds completely separate from image and sound. At this time, from the outside it can be seen that this Cadillac has an American license plate.
He walked a little unsteadily on the streets of Paris late at night.
It seems like the car's suspension system has a problem.
Wait about six hours, when the sky is mostly clear.
A few days before the convoy arrived in Abel, they stayed at the Pullman Paris La Défense Resort. It's still the same room, but baby Laura has returned to America.
The private villa of Anne and Amo Alamuddin, in District 16, may still be sleeping.
The person who comes to live with Abel can only be Jessica Alba.
It was almost Jessica who was taken out of the car by Abel.
As soon as she entered the room, she immediately ran to the bathroom. After entering, she showered immediately.
After showering, he breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed at himself and said to himself:
"It's over, why are you in the car?"
She walked to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, her face was red and soft, almost flowing from her eyes.
Alright.
I just want it.
Seeing herself like that, Jessica immediately admitted frankly. That's normal, Jessica thought. Who said you were my first love?
Wait for the lens to return to normal.
It is now past nine o'clock in the morning.
What happened to Annie and Aymo Alamuddin yesterday afternoon. Now it's happening with Jessica Alba too.
Before going out, Abel looked at the beautiful mixed-race girl sleeping soundly.
He couldn't help but touch her waist.
In less than 24 hours, five major goddesses of Europe and America were installed.
If they were ordinary people, even with such strength and aloofness, they could still bring such blessings. There is absolutely no possibility of taking advantage of it.
Proper size is the final word.
Then he went to Orly airport again.
Take Jessica Alba's Gulfstream G400 "Jessica" and arrive in London, England before 11am.
About eleven o'clock. It appeared in the City of London, on the top floor of the 15-story Fury Building, headquarters of Smith Capital (UK).
Timmy Irwin, a lawyer at Clifford Chance, brought someone here to wait for him.
Also present was Jade, CEO of Smith Capital (UK).
As soon as the boss appears, wait for him to sit in the chair.
Jed said: "BMW and Volkswagen rejected Rolls-Royce's takeover request. »
Abel nodded to express his understanding, which was why he returned to London from Paris. Abel looked at Timmy Owen, "Attorney, I think the prosecution can begin."
Timmy Owen smiled and said: "Of course."
Later the same day, the British group Vickers and Rolls-Royce Motor Company.
He then filed a complaint with the House of Commons in London against the merger of Rolls-Royce Motor Company initiated by BMW and Volkswagen two years ago.
In the complaint, Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce claim that BMW and Volkswagen used illegal measures in connection with the merger.
Including, but not limited to, malicious bidding and intimidation outside of Rolls-Royce Motor Corporation and other third-party acquirers. There is also BMW Group's intentional breach of contract, causing Rolls-Royce Aero Engines to sanction Rolls-Royce Motors for suspicion of unfair competition, etc.
Follow this document.
Rolls-Royce Motor Company and Vickers Group sued the two German companies in the House of Commons in London on 19 criminal charges.
And asked the House of Lords to adjudicate, asking the two German companies to restore the freedom of Rolls-Royce Motor Company.
At the same time, compensate Rolls-Royce and Vickers Group for losses incurred during the merger process. After the lawsuit was filed and leaked, it caused an uproar across Europe.
A belated discovery by many ordinary British people.
It turns out that the British Rolls-Royce was bought by the Germans a few years ago.
Ordinary Germans in Germany reacted relatively strongly to this news after hearing the news.
The Berliners believed that the Londoners were traitors and violating the spirit of trade contracts. The contract was signed two years ago and even the money was withdrawn.
Two years later, things were suddenly reversed. This misses too much of the spirit of the contract.
Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant directly faced the incident.
In Germany and England, ordinary people began to scold each other on the Internet and in the media. Then it surprised the Germans and delighted the British.
It was the British House of Commons in London that actually accepted the lawsuit request from Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company.
And the House said it would set a date to evaluate the settlement.
Forcing BMW and Volkswagen to respond to the lawsuit, as well as Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company.
The reaction of the House of Lords surprised BMW and Volkswagen. The two auto giants, who initially didn't pay much attention to it, finally got serious after the House of Lords approved the deal.
Once the two German auto giants get serious, it will be easy to find out who is behind the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company.
August 16.
Abel returned to London the day after the British House of Commons accepted the case.
About two o'clock in the afternoon. Kensington Palace garden villa number 1, very beautiful front yard.
Someone is having afternoon tea here.
One of the leaders is the owner of this villa, Mr. Abel Smith from America.
He came here as a guest.
If the Germans knew this, the reaction would probably be very unpleasant. Because the old Englishman sat across from Abel and drank authentic Assam black tea, his name was Charlie Faulkner.
Charlie Faulkner was an English lord
In addition, he also has another identity, he is a minister of the British House of Commons.
This identity also means that Lord Charlie Faulkner is the Speaker of the House of Commons in London, England.
In many cases, the British House of Lords is usually responsible for the UK's highest legislation.
". This is probably a new type of tea this year. From picking up goods to shipping here certainly doesn't take more than a month!
After drinking a cup of black tea, pour more.
Lord Charlie Faulkner smiled and said to Abel, who was also holding a cup of black tea.
"Correct." Abel smiled and replied:
"About a month ago, he was still enjoying the mist and sunshine in the southern foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. Now it's in our teacups. Destiny is sometimes wonderful. »
"Haha~" Actually I just met Abel today, but back then he and Abel had acted like friends for many years. Lord Charlie Faulkner smiled and said:
"Late last year and early this year there was a severe drought in the eastern Himalayas. This caused the production of real Assam black tea to decrease significantly this year. Only super-rich people like you, Mr. Smith, can drink it. New tea of the season."
Assam black tea is produced in the Assam Valley, Eastern and Northern Assam Himalayas of Sange.
In a sunny area, other trees must be planted to moderately shade the tea tree; Due to abundant rainfall, the strong growth of large-leaf tropical Assam tea plants has been promoted.
This type of tea has a thin and flat shape, dark brown color; The soup is dark red and slightly brown, has a light aroma of malt and rose, and has a rich taste, belonging to strong tea.
It's the British's favorite afternoon tea.
Historically, Assam was the second largest commercial tea producing region after Huaxia. But frankly, this was at a time when the British and Chinese were still doing business legally.
I secretly took out some delicious tea from Hoa Ha and tried it with my third brother.
After many years of experimental planting, I finally discovered that the Assam region can produce good yields.
After many years of development, a thriving black tea industry has been formed locally.
The so-called Assam black tea is in fact Huaxia black tea, which has been processed and adapted to local tea plants. Abel smiled:
"I bought a black tea garden in Assam. There are 1,800 acres of land and 1,000 acres of tea planted. The name of the tea garden is Manohari. Unfortunately, due to drought and poor management, this year there was a slight loss. I only received it. It's a pity that There are hundreds of kilograms of black tea.
Charlie Faulkner also nodded and said, "Manohari Tea Garden?" My God, is this the Manohari tea garden in the middle of Assam, just 60 miles from the Myanmar border? »
"That's right. I heard that this tea garden was established when the British Empire still ruled Ah San. It has a history of nearly two hundred years."
"You're right. Mr. Smith, it's almost two hundred years old." » Lord Charlie Faulkner said with a sigh.
"The first owner of this tea plantation, Mano Harry Faulkner. He was my great-grandfather's great-grandfather."
Abel pretended to be surprised: "So it's like this. No wonder Lord Faulkner, you can drink this tea immediately."
"Correct." Lord Charlie Faulkner said with a sigh:
"Unfortunately, in the last century, my great-grandfather had to retreat from Asan for some reason. The assets our ancestors left behind were sold cheaply, including this tea garden named after our ancestors."
Abel sighed with him.
"What a shame."
Before Abel finished sighing, his conversation suddenly changed. Abel suddenly seemed to think of something, he patted her thigh.
"Hey, that's right. Mr. Faulkner." Abel seemed to have a good idea.
He told the minister in the House of Lords: "Since this tea garden was created by Lord Mano Harry Faulkner, I think the Faulkner family must know it very well. Here I want to ask you, can you help me? "?"
The Secretary of the Senate smiled: "Mr. Smith, a rich man like you, how can I help you?"
"Tea garden management." Abel was right: "I think it is a descendant of its founder. If you, Lord Faulkner, would help me achieve this, it would be a very good idea. »
"I can't go to Ah San's house."
"There's no need to go personally, you can ask Mr. Faulkner's family or someone authorized by him."
"Is that true? For the sake of the great Mano Harry Faulkner, I don't think I will easily refuse this request?"
"Yes. I don't think it will be easy to refuse, Mr. Faulkner."
Lord Charlie Faulkner looked a little embarrassed.
But in the end he accepted Abel's "request". Then the two of them drank afternoon tea for more than half an hour.
After drinking a full stomach of tea and eating many sumptuous offerings from the lords, he left the villa satisfied.
After he left, Abel smiled and said to David Jones:
"No wonder this bunch of corrupt people have lost so much power."
"Sir." David Jones smiled: "Who can refuse a black tea plantation worth millions of pounds?
"Right."
Abel stood up and showed the tea sets he and Charlie Faulkner used.
"Throw this away. I don't like these stinky people. They are in the 21st century and they are still aristocratic. Oh yeah."
David smiled yes.
August 17.
Today, in 2001, the House of Lords also assumes responsibility for the UK Supreme Court.
Issued subpoenas against Volkswagen and BMW. The Minister of the House of Representatives asked two German companies to come to London within a certain time to hold an audience with the Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Company.
Typically, this type of dispute will usually allow both parties enough time.
Whether it is used to settle out of court or to collect documents and evidence.
This period usually lasts only a month or two and can last up to several months.
But this time, the Senate does not seem to want to spend too much time on German companies. Lord Charlie Faulkner, a minister in the House of Commons, has asked BMW and Volkswagen to prepare for the trial by August 25.
In a hurry, the two auto giants of Europe's leading economic power had to act hastily.
Before that, Abel returned to Paris on the 20th.
This caused the two German auto giants to flock to London.
