While greeting and joking with the shareholders, Li Du looked for Carlston.
He did not find him, so when he met Cole, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Fitz is not here?"
Cole said calmly, "He's on his way. Don't worry, he has to come today. He can't avoid it."
Li Du nodded and sat on the left side of Cole's seat at the conference table.
Seeing this, some shareholders gathered together and whispered to each other.
This seat used to belong to Carlston. He did not think it was inappropriate for Li Du to sit there, because it was prepared for the second shareholder, and he would soon be the second shareholder.
On the table were information about the diamond mine and a full set of property certificates, which everyone could see. In addition, there was a bet contract, which only Li Du and Cole had. It was the subject of today's meeting.
More than twenty minutes later, Carlston, also in a suit and leather shoes, arrived late.
When Carlston arrived, the shareholders stood up again.
Li Du also stood up to show his respect.
Carlston nodded to Cole first, then looked at Li Du. He held out his hand from the door and smiled happily. "Congratulations, Li. It's a pleasure to see you here. It's a great meeting."
Li Du shook hands with him and smiled. "Yes, I did it. I succeeded."
Carlston nodded and said, "Congratulations again, on your successful engagement."
Hearing this, a few of the shareholders secretly laughed.
Li Du also laughed. What did Carlston mean? Was he going to take advantage of him verbally? Everyone here knew what his words meant.
He did it. He did what he said in the bet. He succeeded. He successfully found a new diamond mine.
But he didn't care about that. Calston's words made him equally happy. He said happily, "Yes, I've successfully gotten engaged. I hope that when the time comes, you can attend my engagement party. It's a gift from God, the best gift."
"I thought the best gift you got was this diamond mine," laughed a shareholder named Aubrey Teuton.
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Getting the diamond mine was an unexpected surprise. Getting my fiancée is the real gift from God."
Cole added, "As far as I know, your fiancée was the one who found this diamond mine with you, right?"
He brought the topic back to the main point. He wanted Carlston to face the bet head on.
Just as Li Du had thought, he hated all the second shareholders. The one he hated the most was Carlston. In comparison, Li Du was the perfect candidate.
Li Du said, "Yes, I found it in the company of my fiancée. After I met her, my luck became especially good. This is really a magical thing."
"I think she's a benefactor in your life. What do you Chinese people say? A woman is a great help to a man? "Cole asked excitedly.
Li Du said, "A good wife? Wangfu? "
"Yes, Wangfu, I know that." Cole laughed. "That's it. She'll protect you like a deity, allowing you to always get what you want."
As he spoke, he quietly pushed the bet in Li Du's direction.
Li Du picked up the bet contract and looked at it. Then he handed it to Carlston along with the report on the diamond mine. He smiled and said, "Take a look."
Carlston looked happy. He took the information and skimmed through it. Then a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Ah, Li, you found a diamond mine? My God, you lucky boy, you're going to be rich! "
Cole said, "There's no doubt about it. Every diamond mine will give birth to a rich man. Moreover, this rich man is willing to accept the shares of our Harry Winston group. He is also full of confidence in our group. Is there anything better than this? "
Carlston said, "No. If there was wine now, I would really like to toast Li."
He kept changing the subject and did not mention the bet. Obviously, he did not want to admit it.
Li Du was not in a hurry. He knew Cole would help him. Cole was more anxious than he was.
Previously, when he rented the villa in Phoenix, it was Cole who helped him. He deliberately found a house next to Carlston's, causing conflict between him and Carlston's children.
After living in the villa for a long time, Li Du learned more information.
For example, the original owner of the villa did not want to rent out the house. It was Cole who called him and wanted him to rent it out.
At that time, the original owner showed rejection of Li Du not because of racial discrimination. Maybe it was because Cole had negotiated with him to make the rental seem more normal and less contact with him.
After all, the house was recommended to Li Du by Cole.
Cole had tried so hard to arrange a conflict between Li Du and Carlston, hoping that the two would become enemies. It would be best if Li Du could replace him.
Now, his painstaking efforts were finally going to pay off. How could he not be anxious?
As expected, it was Cole who brought up the contract first. "Carly, my good friend, it's time for us to execute this contract. Are you ready?"
Carlston smiled and waved his hand. "Don't talk about this, buddy. It was just a joke. How can this kind of bet be valid?"
"Right, Li?" He looked at Li Du and put his arm on Li Du's shoulder.
Li Du laughed. This guy was really shameless. "Was it a joke? If it was a joke, there was no need to sign a contract. We Chinese are the most contractual people. Once the contract is signed, it is protected by the law.
"Besides, I want to know, if I didn't find the diamond mine, would you refuse my ten million dollars?"
Carlston ignored the first half of Li's words and said, "Of course, how could I really accept the money? Isn't that right, guys? Isn't this too much? "
He looked at the many shareholders and began to look for helpers for himself.
Carlston said, "I was talking to a few old guys about this in private. I told them that I was doing this to put some pressure on Li. Everyone, do you think our Fitz Family would care about 10 million dollars? "
He continued to look for helpers for himself and used the family's pressure to force everyone to take a stand.
In addition, he turned to Li Du and said sincerely, "To tell you the truth, you are too young, Li. You have made incredible achievements. I am worried that you will not move forward!"
Li Du found that he was still too young. These old foxes were really shameless.
Fortunately, he also had old foxes on his side.
Aubrey Teuton, who had spoken before, suddenly said, "No, Carlston, what you said is a little hypocritical. When you talked about this in private, you said that you won. How can a diamond mine be so easy to find? "
"But you really don't care about the ten million dollars. You said it was to teach him a lesson and let him know who to follow in the Winston group."
