In the cafe opposite the Victoria Hotel, the waiter put down the coffee on the plate with a look of disgust on his face. If Yang Dongxu hadn't immediately put a 100 pound tip on the table, they would have been kicked out.
Even if they are not kicked out, the customers who come into the cafe are still far away from here. Some customers leave as soon as they see the decadent man sitting opposite them after entering. This made the waitress who served the coffee impatiently and kept looking here, hoping they would leave quickly.
"I don't have the money to pay you back. You can sue me and put me in jail." Matthew picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He didn't care at all about the strange and disgusted looks around him. He didn't have much respect for the frowning Yang Dongxu opposite him. Tone.
Even if the man sitting across from him just now helped him repay a debt of thirty thousand pounds, so that he would not be left with any debt collection marks on his body by several gang members who came to ask for debts.
"Money is a small thing to me, and I don't care about that little money. But since I am helping you pay off the debt, you'd better find a way to repay it." Yang Dongxu didn't have any appetite for coffee, and leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded. Try to stay away from Matthew who smells strange.
"I've already told you that I don't have the ability to repay my debts, otherwise those loan sharks wouldn't come to collect debts." Matthew said with a frown.
"Don't talk about useless things. Since I'm looking for you and am willing to spend money to pay off your debt, you naturally have this value." Yang Dongxu said.
"But I don't want to help you." Matthew had a sarcastic look in his eyes, like a scoundrel lying on the ground, looking mockingly at the gentleman in suits and ties.
"You will agree." Yang Dongxu's expression remained unchanged.
Matthew lowered his head and drank his coffee, obviously not taking these words to heart.
"Your daughter is just 13 years old this year. She lives with a distant cousin of yours in a small town in the United States. She is a very cute girl." Yang Dongxu said lightly.
Matthew, who originally had a sarcastic look in his eyes, suddenly changed his expression. He raised his head and stared at Yang Dongxu with a fierce look.
"I don't have time to pay homage to Corporal Xian, nor do I have time to visit the thatched cottage. You have some resources and can help me do things. After the things are done, I can give you another sum of money. If you are willing, you can leave London after the things are done. Anywhere you want to go."
"Is this a threat?" Matthew's expression was indescribably gloomy.
"Just take it as such."
Matthew stared at Yang Dongxu. Yang Dongxu looked at him with a dull expression. After a while, Matthew lowered his head: "What do you want me to do?"
He thought about the other party's purpose for finding him, and also thought about the methods the other party used to make him surrender. But he never expected that this apparently decent Asian would threaten him as soon as he came up, but he had to give in. This made him very angry and felt humiliated, but he had no choice but to compromise.
"Find a place to clean up. I'll wait for you at the hotel opposite." Yang Dongxu stood up, dropped a few bills on the table and turned to leave.
Carlo and Du Fei, who were sitting not far away, got up and followed. After going out, several tall white and black bodyguards were surrounding them and walked towards the Victoria Hotel opposite.
Yang Dongxu usually doesn't like such a big poker venue when he goes out. Most of the time, Du Fei follows him alone. But when you go abroad, you have to be safe. After all, guns are not allowed in foreign countries. At the same time, having a poker venue can often save a lot of trouble.
For example, when he entered the cafe just now, if he hadn't been followed by so many bodyguards, he might have been kicked out without even a chance to tip.
Looking at Yang Dongxu who was leaving in a crowd, Matthew's expression kept changing. He hesitated for a while and left with the money on the table. He thought about running away. But since the other party could investigate his daughter's information, he didn't dare to gamble.
Half an hour later, Matthew, who had washed up and changed into ordinary clothes, sat opposite Yang Dongxu. Although the look on his face was haggard and decadent, he looked much better than before when he looked weird.
Matthew was very thin, with high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, and his eyes were dull. Just like a long-term drug addict, his skin has an unhealthy paleness due to not seeing the sun for a long time.
"I'm not interested in the secrets you know." Yang Dongxu said. There was no more weird smell. He was now in the mood to drink tea. However, the British black tea tasted a bit awkward, but because there was no added milk or sugar, although it was a bit awkward, it was a bit awkward. Can also enter.
Matthew looked up at Yang Dongxu without saying anything.
"But I am very interested in the resources and channels you have." Yang Dongxu continued.
"Those are gone." Matthew said, as if he was afraid that the Asian man sitting opposite him would think he was trying to evade, so he couldn't help but explain: "Resources and channels refer to equal bundles of interests. As for favors and loyalty, Some people remember you clearly when you were rich and powerful, but they will naturally forget about you when you are down and out."
Matthew couldn't help but show a mocking look on his face when he said this. He didn't know whether he was mocking himself or those who were unkind and unjust.
"I know these things better than you." Yang Dongxu said: "You will have five million pounds of start-up capital. If nothing happens, you will become a member of the Automobile Association again at this time tomorrow, although it will not be as good as the previous vice president. Glitzy, but also management.”
"What do you want?" Matthew looked at Yang Dongxu and his face became serious.
Although he knew from the beginning that it was not easy for this Asian to find him, he was still a little shocked by the other person's energy at this time, and his face couldn't help but become serious.
Although five million pounds is a huge amount of money, as a once famous big shot, Matthew is not very surprised. He was surprised that the other party could still let him join the Automobile Association.
You must know that he was once the vice president of the Automobile Association, and was kicked out when he failed in the competition. After such an experience, I still want to enter the Automobile Association, but it is more difficult than ordinary entry. Because the people who kicked him out in the first place are now senior officials of the Automobile Association.
"Use money to connect previous relationships and channels to endorse BMW China. Sort out all the information and channels of previous Land Rover dealers, procurement and after-sales, etc. If there are those who are extremely influential, List them out individually, and then use them to get him to contact them." Yang Dongxu gestured to Carlo, who was sitting aside and silent.
"Is your car company preparing to enter the European and American markets?" Matthew frowned, with a puzzled look on his face. If the other party really only wants to enter the European and American markets, although it will be somewhat difficult, it is not impossible.
What's especially important is that since the other party has so much energy, it seems that there is no need to find him, a useless person, and he can definitely find some big shots to cooperate.
"That's not what you should be concerned about. Just do your part." Yang Dongxu did not explain to Matthew, nor did he need to explain.
"Then I..."
"After the work is completed, 1 million pounds will be your reward. Someone will protect you during the work. You don't have to worry about someone finding an excuse to take you to the police station and then prosecute you for commercial crimes or something like that.
As for shady threats, there will be bodyguards to protect you 24 hours a day, so you don’t have to worry. Even if you die due to some oversight, your daughter will still get this reward. Yang Dongxu said.
"Your guarantee..." Matthew obviously couldn't trust Yang Dongxu.
"I keep what I said. As for you...you don't have a choice now, do you?" Yang Dongxu raised the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic smile.
Matthew, who still wanted to say something, closed his mouth, just as Yang Dongxu said. Apart from doing what Yang Dongxu said, he really had no choice.
"Any other instructions?" Matthew asked after a moment of silence.
"After sorting out the resources in your hands, focus on the Japanese car manufacturers. If anyone from the American car manufacturers finds you, push them to me. As for the German car companies... It will be decided based on the situation at that time." Yang Dongxu said.
Matthew nodded, he was basically sure. The other party found him just to set up a target and see how many monsters and monsters would jump out if the BMW he mentioned was launched in Europe and the United States, so that he could be aware of it.
The reason why he was selected was not only because bigger figures would have to pay more for being a target, but also because in addition to being the vice-president of the British Automobile Association, he had also been the general manager of Land Rover.
In 1994, the British Land Rover brand was acquired by the German BMW Motor Company. Last year, after six years of hard work, the Land Rover brand could not be developed, so the German BMW packaged the Land Rover brand and sold it to the American Ford.
When it was acquired by BMW of Germany, he went from the general manager of Land Rover to the head of the UK region, and his identity and status dropped several levels.
After Land Rover changed hands for the second time and was acquired by Ford, due to its competitive relationship with the Automobile Association, competitors took advantage of it. He was kicked out by his competitors in the Automobile Association. Ford didn't care about the British market, and naturally they wouldn't leave this person in charge to waste wages, so they fired him directly.
However, although he was dismissed, as the former general manager of Land Rover, although his status was very bad and he became a domestic slave with three surnames, and now he has four surnames when he helps Yang Dongxu work, he is undoubtedly very interested in various resources and channels of Land Rover. clear.
After the German BMW acquired Land Rover, it also invested a lot of money to develop new models and tried to sell them in North America. Therefore, although some of the sales channels used the original channels of BMW, some of them could be borrowed by Yang Dongxu.
In this way, his BMW company basically has the preliminary channels to expand if it wants to enter Europe and the United States. The rest is to tie up various big names to accumulate contacts, prepare for the unlisted and later dominate the European and American markets.
In the early stage of channel expansion and resource accumulation, borrowing chicken to lay eggs will undoubtedly save more than spending actual money to build it yourself. So after various investigations and analyses, Yang Dongxu found Matthew from the mud pit.
