777. White Gloves
"What?" Duanmu was confused by him, "He gives you money? When? How much?"
"I haven't seen an envelope in the wine box just now. I don't know how much it is."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"10,000 (Euros)." Dong Qiangqiang said to himself after counting the money, "I admire myself very much. I have worked hard to study across the ocean and finally became an international escort. I have been in the end."
"What are you going to do with it? I mean the money."
"I will definitely go back." Dong Qiangqiang replied without thinking, "I was guilty of taking money for no reason, let alone the other party was an old man. Who knows if the money was stolen money? I just don't have the other party's contact information, so this matter has to be on Anderson. It's annoying!"
"You're almost vomiting blood, it's not wasteful." Duanmu teased.
"You said just now Anderson wanted to stuff him to us." Dong Qiangqiang took the money back and threw it aside, "How did you see it?"
"Do you remember how I told you before you went to the hamburger?"
Dong Qiangqiang rubbed his temples and recalled: "If it were you, you wouldn't go to the hamburger. He asked me not to sign documents or promise anything. It would be better to record the audio."
"Yes, but do you know why I said that?"
“Remind me to be careful?”
"No, it's because Anderson has specifically looked for me before."
"What is he looking for you?" Dong Qiangqiang found that Duanmu likes to say halfway through the words now.
"Just like you."
"Fight a drink with the Russians?"
"If I meet, I guess it's."
"You didn't go?"
"I refused."
"reason?"
"I don't want to have anything to do with people like him, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble." Duanmu confessed, "And I was about to come to the United States for a business trip, and I really couldn't leave, and Anderson refused to say why I was going to meet, so I didn't want to waste time on him. Of course, I didn't tell you about this, because I didn't want you to go either."
"Then why don't you object or say it directly when I called you to talk about it in the afternoon?" Dong Qiangqiang was a little unhappy, "You should have guessed it when I told you that I was going to Golden Ring?"
"Yes, I guessed it at that time. But I think if we offended him at the same time, it would be unfavorable in the future. It would be better for one to play the role of the other to play the role of the second. You have always been cautious by nature, so I am not too worried about you going to the appointment."
"Sure, you didn't see him. I saw him, but the result was the same." Dong Qiangqiang also saw him and vomited wine. Duanmu's explanation was not completely unreasonable. He didn't want to worry about this topic anymore and changed his words, "Put this aside. You haven't answered my question yet. Why do you think Anderson wants to throw the other party to us?"
"Anderson repeatedly asked us to meet Sergeira, which was most likely related to what we are doing now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just wanted to find two poor international students from socialist countries to sponsor it because of his kindness, right? I mean Sergeira."
"So what you mean," Dong Qiangqiang finally understood Duanmu's concern, "Is the person named Xie interested in our short-selling business?"
"Yes." Duanmu nodded on the other end of the phone, but Dong Qiangqiang couldn't see it.
"But why do people who have big businesses like us have a big fame that is not considered a small broken company?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand. "There are as many speculative companies as larger than ours, and it's okay for him to do it himself."
"It's an investment company..." Duanmu corrected softly.
"And even if Anderson wants to match us, his grandson has not appeared today. And the Xie surnamed never asked me about catching cicadas from beginning to end. He didn't care about our performance, fund size and shorted stocks, nor did he care about our background. He just poured wine and stuffed money after he finished it. He couldn't tell that he was interested in our business. If he was really interested, he should ask these things, right?"
After hearing this, Duanmu replied without any rush and was stunned by Dong Qiangqiang, and he couldn't find any rebuttal words for a while.
"Think about it, if he is not interested, why should he compete with you for alcohol? He also gives you wine and money afterwards. Is this normal?"
“…”
"I have met all kinds of investors in order to raise funds for the chasing, but investors in Russia, Arabia and Africa are very different from those in the United States and Europe. To be honest, I don't dare to ask for money from those people at all."
"Are you worried that these people's money comes from wrong?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"That's for sure. If their money is stolen money, then our fund is helping them launder money. We can't even wash it off even if we jump into the Yellow River." Duanmu said worriedly, "The London police have been investigating him, and the Interpol is also investigating him. Although these people cannot catch Sergeira's handle, they may not be able to catch ours."
The train rumbled into the passing station. Dong Qiangqiang looked up and down thoughtfully, and the cheerful passenger listened to Duanmu continuing on the phone: "Do you know what I am most worried about now? It's that Anderson is Sergeira's white gloves. The last time he invested our money was actually Sergeira's."
Dong Qiangqiang felt that his wine woke up instantly. Although he was a little panicked, he immediately thought that since Duanmu said so, he must have considered a possible solution.
"If it's what you said, what should we do now?"
"I don't know." Duanmu's voice sounded very frustrated, "Even if it's really stolen money, we have no choice but to spend the money now. We can only pray that the money is Anderson's, not Sergeira's. If the police really come to the door because of this, we can only tell the truth. At least we can take out the evidence in public, such as investment institutions and investors I have contacted before, which can prove that we were indeed raising funds at that time, and we don't know that the other party gave dirty money."
Dong Qiangqiang knew that Duanmu was telling the truth, and didn't know what to say for a while. He murmured for a while: "Did you think of this when we went to Frankfurt to block Anderson last time?"
"No, I thought of this because of Anderson's recent abnormal behavior."
"So you are anxious to find money from other institutions to come in to exchange Anderson's shares?"
"Part of the reason is, but we really need financing if we want to grow."
"Then I'll contact Anderson as soon as possible and return the money and wine to the other party." Dong Qiangqiang promised, "Stop the nights getting longer and dreams."
When Dong Qiangqiang got off the taxi and stood downstairs at his house, it was already late at night and the dim street lights had already gone out. He looked up and the orange light was shooting out from his house upstairs, and Lu Shan should be still reviewing.
Lu Shan is a good child. Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself and walked into Lao Bai's house and fell asleep before he even took off his shoes.
