"Oh, hehe, it's just a joke. In China, betrothal gifts are more popular. You don't need them here. I was just casually saying it!" I said with a smile.
"How can that be? When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Sallica is your fiancee's younger sister, so we have to follow your customs!" Old Philip pretended to think of something and said, "Right, your fiancee is an Asian, so how can she be Sallica's older sister?"
I chuckled inwardly. Hmph, you finally got to the main point!
"Don't misunderstand, I don't have any other meaning, I was just curious!" Seeing that I didn't speak, Old Philip thought that I was angry and quickly explained.
In fact, I was thinking about how to explain it to Old Philip. I organized my words, "Old Philip, in fact, Philip and Sallica were accidentally met by me and my fiancee when we were traveling. Because we hit it off very well, Philip and I became good friends. My fiancee and Sallica are like sisters. In fact, we don't have any special blood relationship!"
"Don't have any relationship?" Old Philip was stunned. His brain began to turn quickly, pondering over the pros and cons.
Looking at Old Philip's appearance, I couldn't help but find it funny, "I'm afraid you also know that we Chinese are very loyal. Sometimes, friends are even closer than blood brothers and sisters!"
Old Philip obviously also thought of this point. After listening to my words, his heart felt more at ease. Not to mention other things, just my relationship with Philip would bring great benefits to the family in the future! And it seems that Sallica's role was actually very small! But we can't do without her! Because only by accepting Sallica, Philip will concentrate on developing the family business, and I will help Philip even more! Therefore, Old Philip finally made up his mind, "Mr. Liu, I don't have any other meaning. What I mean is, when are you leaving Milan? Why don't we take advantage of the fact that you are here to arrange the marriage between Philip and Sallica!"
Us? Arrange the marriage? Why does it seem like I can represent Sallica's parents? I smiled bitterly, "I just came as a friend or as a guest of the woman's family. As for the details of the marriage, let Sallica and her parents discuss it!"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you are present!" Old Philip said.
"Of course, I'm their future child's godfather!" I said with a smile.
After they finished talking about business, Old Philip started to ask for benefits. "Oh right, I heard that East Asia Motion, a subsidiary of Shuguang Investment, has recently developed a new environmental purification system. I wonder if the European dealership has been finalized?"
This guy was really asking for an exorbitant price! One must know that Su Yuanchao had just held a press conference a few days ago, announcing an environmental purification system. Although it was for civilian use, most of the buyers came from various countries' government agencies! One had to know that air pollution was one of the biggest problems in environmental protection today! This purification system could transform a large area of air in a very small space. Coupled with East Asia Motion's energy system, it could work for several years without stopping! This was the dream of many developed countries!
As for this environmental purification system, it was not yet listed on the market. Naturally, the distribution rights had not been given out yet. Yet, Old Philip actually wanted the distribution rights for the entire African market!
"European market? I can't guarantee that. In Italy, there's still some time before this device goes on the market. After Philip's wedding and honeymoon, it'll be just in time for it to go on the market. He can start promoting it! "I thought about it and didn't completely agree to Old Philip's request.
Even so, my promise made Old Philip very satisfied. This was because his original purpose was to get the distribution rights for Italy. He deliberately exaggerated about Europe in order to bargain with me! As for when I said that Philip would be responsible, Old Philip also understood that I was implicitly telling him that I was giving Philip face!
However, this didn't matter because Philip was bound to become the next generation of the family's leader. Letting him be in charge of some of the family's business in advance wasn't a bad idea!
Old Philip still wanted to ask for some other benefits, but he was afraid that I would say that he was insatiable and unhappy, so he didn't dare to open his mouth several times.
Looking at Old Philip's appearance, I wanted to laugh and said, "Old Philip, you don't need to be like this. As long as Philip is in charge of your family's affairs, I will not ignore your family!"
Old Philip knew that on one hand, I was reassuring him that there would be many benefits in the future. On the other hand, I was giving him a final ultimatum: Philip will be the next Patriarch! If not, then our cooperation will be terminated!
However, Old Philip was very happy to accept this condition because this was his original intention!
In the evening, Old Philip set up a very sumptuous dinner to entertain me and Yang Mei's family. Philip and Sallica accompanied them.
During the meal, Old Philip officially announced that he agreed to the marriage between Philip and Sallica. He also asked Sallica's parents to come over as soon as possible to discuss the wedding matters!
This result made the two young men happy. Of course, while they were happy, they didn't forget to cast a grateful look towards their benefactor!
The whole family was happy, but there was someone who wasn't. This person was the biggest shareholder of Ao De Group, Old Witt! Just now, Old Philip had called and canceled the engagement with him. This made Old Witt a bit angry out of humiliation!
His family and financial group were also very prestigious in Italy, but the engagement was actually broken off! What face would they have in the business world in the future!
One was willing to marry, the other was willing to marry. After Sallica's parents knew that the Philip Family had accepted their daughter, they were very happy. However, they were more worried. Before, they had advised Sallica not to be together with Philip! Not to mention whether the Philip Family would accept her or not, even if they did, the gap between the two families was too big. They were afraid that Sallica would be wronged!
Now, the Philip Family had finally accepted Sallica. Sallica's parents were also very puzzled. Why did the Philip Family suddenly let go? Was there some kind of conspiracy?
However, after Yang Mei and Sallica's explanation, Sallica's parents finally understood that all of this was because of me! Although Sallica's parents were white-collar workers, they also understood that the reason why the Philip Family let go was because there was enough benefits for them to let go! In other words, I must have promised the Philip Family some kind of benefits, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly!
Regarding this, Sallica's parents couldn't thank me. They could only express their gratitude by thanking me. In fact, it wasn't much. I just let go of the agency first. For me, there was no substantial loss!
