Chapter 194 Completely Turn Your Face
With the direct support of the royal family, the old Aston has a lot more confidence in his heart.
If the Bank of England was not in the turmoil of nationalization, the group would have been able to spend most of the 100 million pounds.
Then find someone to guarantee, and you can raise 100 million by borrowing 20 to 30 million.
Or if the royal family is willing to take out the money, it is no problem for the royal family to invest in shares.
But the most critical issue is not the 100 million, but the two tons of diamonds.
Because you can't eat it, the price is still fried diamonds. For the diamond group, it is the most fundamental thing.
As long as there was any hope, the old Aston wanted to get the diamond back.
When he really had no choice, he was willing to spend 100 million pounds to buy back those two tons of diamonds.
Even as long as he is given back a ton of diamonds, so that the diamond group can have physical support, there is room and opportunity for everything to be restored.
After all, diamonds are dug out of the ground, as long as there are diamonds, the existing diamond operating system can be maintained instead of collapsing.
There are funds to maintain the mining of the mine, and at worst, it will be regarded as working for robbers for the past ten years.
But if the Diamond Group recovered, Old Aston vowed in his heart that he would not do anything else for the rest of his life.
Directly hand over the group to his son Oliver. He, an old man who will not live for many years, will only do one thing in the future.
That is to find out the robbers, and then kill everyone involved in this matter, even their families.
The old Aston, who was ruthless in his heart, then sighed helplessly.
What's the use of thinking about it?
Only by overcoming this difficulty can there be a future.
And just like the bastard Sinclair Bartley said, the old Aston was really worried that the robbers would eat the diamonds and eat the 100 million pounds in extortion fees.
Besides, no one would take risks with their own wealth under the premise that the insurance company would lose money.
For decades, the old Aston, who had never swallowed his anger except for people with higher status than himself, endured the anxiety and anger in his heart.
He said to Sinclair calmly, "We are the supplier of 60% of the world's diamonds. Once there is a shortage of diamonds, do you know how many people will go bankrupt and lose their source of livelihood?"
Sinclair curled his lips, smoked a few cigars and lowered his head but didn't answer.
In an instant, the old Aston stood up angrily, stared at Sinclair who was sitting, and said, "Hundreds of thousands of English practitioners lost their jobs, and those gentlemen in Downing Street will be the first to stare at your Sinclair." insurance company".
"Unemployment is your problem. As for how I face Downing Street, that's my business."
Sinclair flicked his cigar casually, thinking that as long as he was still a rich man, he would give away two million, five million, or even the shares of the Sinclair Group to those people in Downing Street.
"I only know that if the Diamond Group defaults, I have the right to refuse to pay the premium according to the contract.
The 5 million pounds is due to the fact that we have been partners for many years, and we have given you free support.”
The diamond group personnel present immediately stared at Sinclair angrily.
Oliver Aston quickly stood up and argued, "You don't have the right to accuse us of breaching the contract with a case from more than ten years ago.
And I hadn’t worked in the diamond group back then, so what did I do have anything to do with the group.”
"Shut up, shut up, Oliver".
Of course the old Aston knew this, and he also knew in his heart that Sinclair was holding on to his only son, and he didn't even have a grandson.
"Sinclair, don't forget what the foundation of the insurance industry is."
"We've been your customers for thirty years and we've never missed a penny in premiums, but when it comes time for us to pay you back, what have we got? .
I don’t say anything, but I will be threatened by villains and villains like you.”
Sinclair rolled his eyes and said, "I'm a villain, then you are bloody butchers.
Since you unearthed the first diamond in South Africa, you have brought nothing but hunger, war, plague and death to Africa.
Every diamond is stained with the blood and tears of countless Africans.
I'm a saint compared to you, Mr Aston."
NM, this is a direct reversal.
Li Changheng frowned, but he was overjoyed to find that old Aston, because Sinclair called him Mr. Aston instead of SIR-Aston, his face turned red with anger.
Then the old man stared at Sinclair with cold eyes, cursed and swore, "I am Mill Aston, the only king of the diamond world.
Sinclair, I will break you down and take everything you have now and stand on your grave and piss."
Sinclair narrowed his eyes and frowned angrily, but as the two looked at each other, the more Sinclair looked at old Aston, the colder he felt.
This old man is really as he said just now, what he brought to the country where the diamond mine is located is only war and death.
Otherwise, why would the London Diamond Group control 60% of the world's diamond trade and 70-80% of the production of rough stones?
This can be achieved by controlling most of the diamond mines with the largest reserves and the easiest mining.
And thinking about this point, not only money, but also strength and influence can do it.
What really relies on is the endless provocation of conflicts among the tribes, so that in the past before machinery became the mainstream, the diamond group had enough and cheap enough workers, or slaves, to help them mine, beneficiate, and find diamonds.
The blood diamond theory that will only become popular in the future is nothing compared to the present and the past.
Thinking of England's bloody looting of South Africa's gold and diamonds, the only thought in Sinclair's mind at this time was that he must act first.
Otherwise, if the diamond group slows down, or dies with him in his arms, it will be too late to regret.
Throwing the cigar in his hand onto the thousands-pound carpet, Sinclair walked out of the office with a frosty face.
"Boss, what shall we do now?"
Old Aston sat discouraged on the boss's chair and was about to speak when he couldn't help looking at Finch Grant.
Then put it on Charles, Andrew and Li Changheng.
If they weren't there, Old Aston might just swallow his anger and let Finch continue to investigate.
But with Li Changheng's performance just now, and thinking of seeking help from Philip, the old Aston immediately called out for security.
Pointing to Finch whose face changed drastically, he said, "Mr. Grant, since Sinclair defaulted on the contract and refused to pay the premium, there is no need for you to stay here anymore."
Li Changheng couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this. If he took care of it, he would definitely let Finch stay in this building, and at the same time send 4 security guards to follow him at all times.
Don't let Finch check with peace of mind, let alone let him leave.
Afterwards, even if Finch sued the Diamond Group for house arrest, there was only one result in the end.
The group has survived, and an insurance investigator like Finch can still survive the super large group.
If the group doesn't make it through, it's just another accusation.
Seeing Finch leave with anger and unwillingness, Li Changheng heard old Aston yell, "Henry".
Turning around, I saw a sparkling thing flying towards me.
