Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong
Chapter 1138: Who is for and who is against?
The William family is a small business family in London, mainly engaged in mechanical processing, while the Carl family is smaller than the William family, mainly engaged in the clothing trade.
When Lawrence was in power, because the Lawrence family almost controlled machining and other industries, the entire Chamber of Commerce dared to obey him.
In contrast, the Srock family is weaker, but it is a big crocodile compared to the William and Carl families!
William and Karla, who have already adapted to the "crocodile pool" struggle, are typical "chameleons" and "wall grass". Since their abilities are not good and the family power is not strong enough, then they can only rely on the strong to get enough benefits! It was like this before, and it is still like this now, especially when the two of them saw that Slok was about to take the position, of course they only tried their best to curry favor.
The "soft service" of William and Carl was seen by everyone else.
Everyone is not a fool. When you look at this scene, you know that Slok has become a fact. If they make irresponsible remarks, they will have their good fruit to eat in the future!
Instead of offending Slok at this time, it's better to pull down his face and become a "Clerk from the Dragon", and a member named "Dubin" stood up and said, "Since everyone thinks so, I think it's better to hit the sun if you choose a day, it's better for everyone today. Just raise your hands to vote, let Vice President Slok sit upright, and elect him as the next president!"
"Okay! Well said! I'll raise my hand first!"
Immediately, the entire conference room became lively.
"I agree too!"
"I have long admired Vice President Slok, and I choose him too!"
The crowd raised their hands to vote.
Thirty-six members of the Chamber of Commerce control two-thirds of London's commercial power, mechanical processing, iron and steel smelting, clothing and textiles, as well as automobile production, oil mining, etc.
And as long as half of the votes passed by these thirty-six members, Slok can successfully take over the throne of the next president.
Soon, more than 20 of the 36 members raised their hands and voted in favor.
Slok secretly rejoiced in his heart, according to this situation, he has already won.
The remaining ten or so have personal grievances with Slok, and they won't watch Slok ascend, and of course they won't wait to die.
But even so, under the general trend, the resistance of these people is futile.
...
The vote will soon come to a close.
Sloka stared at everyone, and the chameleon William immediately stood up and announced: "The collective vote is now twenty-three to thirteen! That is to say, more than half of the people have chosen Mr. Slok to take over as president!"
The crowd began to discuss again.
Slok looked at the gang of grumpy guys, slammed the table, then closed down and looked at Slok together.
Slok had long imagined that he would be as majestic as he is today. He immediately assumed a dominant posture, put his hands on the table, and asked with bright eyes, "Now that I am the president, who approves and who opposes?"
Not to mention, Slok has been following Lawrence for a long time, and he has also learned some of the imposing manners of the superiors.
Slok looked at everyone in the conference room, and his heart was filled with the sense of vanity that power brought him, and immediately sneered: "Since everyone does not object, then I'm sorry, I will take the place of the chairman of the London Chamber of Commerce in the UK for the time being. !"
at this time----
"I object!" said a loud voice.
The "opposition" sounded unusually harsh in the silence.
Slok frowned and looked at the sound.
The others also looked towards the door of the conference room together.
Creaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Andre walked in with a mighty presence, surrounded by He Jiali, Yan Xiong, and Axe Jun and others.
"God, how come Master Andrei is here?"
"What is he doing here?"
There was a commotion in the originally quiet scene.
Andre walked to the conference table, smiled and reached out to Slok to say hello: "Hello, Uncle Slok!"
Slok's expression changed, and then he said with a smile, "I thought who it was, but it turned out to be Andre! Andre, although I am your uncle, but this is the chamber of commerce, everyone still maintains A little distance, don't call each other so warmly."
"Oh, is it? Then what should I call you? Vice President Slok, is that right?" Andre said with a slight smile.
"Just know! I'm the vice president here, and you're nothing, so I'm curious, what are you doing here?" Slok said sarcastically.
"Of course I'm here to oppose you as president!"
"Damn, what qualifications do you have?" Slok said angrily.
Others also looked at Andre curiously, at this "prodigal son" who sent his father to prison with his own hands!
"What qualifications do you ask me? Hey, this is my qualification!" Andre said, taking out a letter and showing it to everyone: "Look at it better, this is written by my father, President Lawrence, and he Tell all of you clearly and clearly on this that his chairmanship will be inherited by his own son, Andrei, who is me!"
"Hahaha! It's ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!" Slok said with a look of disdain, "Everyone knows that you, the prodigal son of a family, sent him to prison, and they don't know what means you used to get him such a letter. ----Who are you trying to deceive? Only a fool will believe it!"
Indeed, this letter was written by Andre forcing his father Lawrence to write to him. For Lawrence, he is now in prison. Instead of handing over the chairmanship to an outsider, it is better to let this renegade son inherit it, at least During the festivals, the other party will come to visit him. And will run the prison to make him more comfortable in it.
William, Carl, Dubin and the others are all chameleons. Seeing that Slok has the upper hand, this young master Andre doesn't seem to have many secret weapons, so he immediately shouted: "Vice President Slok is right! You have objections to this letter, and we won't believe it!"
"We won't believe it unless President Lawrence comes here to testify in person!"
"I'm afraid he won't be able to invite his father!"
"Hahaha!"
There was ridicule at the scene.
In the face of these jeers, Andre was neither angry nor angry, but shrugged and said, "Sorry, I don't have the skills to bring my father here from prison. He did something wrong and is Accept punishment. As his son, I just want to tell everyone, don't do anything wrong, one wrong step will lead to doom!"
"Haha, are you threatening us? Remember that you are still a student at Cambridge University and haven't graduated yet."
"Dare to speak up here without graduating? We are all your seniors!"
Andre ignored these cold words, turned to look at Hecarly, and said in a respectful tone, "Now I'm going to trouble you!"
Hecarly stepped forward and said word by word: "As a team of British Royal Barristers, I would like to declare here on behalf of Mr. Lawrence that what has been said in the letter just now is true. If there are any errors or omissions, the law firm and Lawrence himself are willing to take legal responsibility! "
The final word!
Everyone below looked at each other in dismay. No one thought that Andre would invite the most powerful team of lawyers in the British Empire to testify. Now that there is the testimony of the Royal Barrister, everything is true!
Slok didn't expect that Andre would come to such a move, and said anxiously for a while: "Even if President Lawrence ordered it like this? How can you be the president when you are young?"
"Yeah, even though your father is Lawrence, that doesn't prove that you are super capable?" William "Chameleon" immediately echoed.
"The chairman of the chamber of commerce has a heavy responsibility, but it's not a child's play!" Carl also hurriedly said.
Others also spoke up in response to the situation, saying that Andre was too young, not even graduating from university, and had neither the ability nor the qualifications to hold such an important position.
In the face of these objections, Andre smiled: "I respect everyone's opinions! Why don't we just follow the rules here and vote by raising our hands to make a decision, how about that?"
When Slok and the others heard it, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, this is simply courting death!
Just imagine that Andrea has no advantage here at all except that he is the son of President Lawrence! How to win?
"Of course it's good!" Slok laughed. "Democratic choice, free voting! No matter what the voting result is, we will all abide by the agreement! Do you think so?"
"Yes!" William and the others said in unison, "We all advocate democracy! Hahaha!"
As for those members who are not on the right track with Slok, they can't help shaking their heads and sighing when they look at Andre. How could they come up with such a foolish trick? Isn't this an obvious hit to death? Slok has a huge network of connections here, except for the few of us, no one is his opponent at all!
...
At this moment, the faction in the entire conference room is already obvious, and the Slok side has the advantage.
A small number of people have an inseparable interest relationship with the Lawrence family. Of course, I hope that Andre can inherit his father's business and become the president, and can cover them in business in the future.
As for the other part, they are downright centrists, neither optimistic about Slok nor Andre, typical of watching fire from the other side, watching tigers fight from the mountain!
"Hey, since everyone is so enthusiastic in favor of this method, then lawyer Hecarly, I hope you can bear more and serve as a witness to this election!" Andre turned his head to Hecarly confidently.
Hecarly nodded in approval.
In fact, He Jiali was reluctant to come here to do such a thing, but her law firm had just been established, but Shi Zhijian paid the money for the establishment of the law firm. Shi Zhijian was her partner and boss, and let her Whatever she does, she has to do it even if she doesn't want to.
And the first task Shi Zhijian gave her after the establishment of her law firm was to help Andre come to power! And Shi Zhijian told He Jiali that this young master Andre is generous and ruthless, and she can receive a large amount of legal fees after the matter is completed!
Whether it was for the money or the reputation of the law firm, He Jiali had no choice, so she had to run over to help this young master Andre to fight against the crowd!
Slok felt that what Andre did was superfluous, thinking that Andre would lose, and he had nothing to fear!
Everyone else also unanimously looked down on Andre, believing that he would lose without a doubt. Just when everyone was about to raise their hands to vote, Yan Xiong, who had not spoken much beside Andre, suddenly said, "Excuse me, excuse me. Before everyone raises their hands to vote, I want to post some materials for your reference!"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Before everyone could understand, he saw Yan Xiong clapping his hands, and soon someone brought stacks of documents. Yan Xiong asked those people to distribute the documents according to their names.
Everyone took the documents with puzzled faces, opened the briefcase, and looked through——
Immediately, a look of astonishment appeared on the doubtful face!
Slok also took over a copy of the information bag. He despised the other party's tricks in his heart. Seeing that everyone opened it and looked weird, he couldn't help but open his own, and then——
He was stunned!
I saw that the information was full of pictures and texts, and it turned out to be all the black material he had accumulated over the years!
These include information and pictures of him secretly bribing government officials in order to bid for a processing plant in the western suburbs of London. There is evidence that he hit and killed a civilian while drunk driving, and then found someone to top the bag. There is even information that his son was caught by the police for participating in underground gambling outside, and then bribed the relationship with money.
Seeing this, Slok suddenly sweated.
Over there, "Chameleon" William also opened his briefcase and saw his document. The most conspicuous of the document was a picture. In the picture, he dressed up as a beautiful Brazilian girl, hugging from left to right. Two muscular men... William immediately closed his eyes, he knew that if these materials were released, his reputation would be ruined!
The situation at the moment is not much better for Carl "The Wall's Grass". He stared at the information at hand, and couldn't figure out how his affair with the wife of a high-ranking government official could be exposed. ! If this is spread out, wouldn't he die immediately?
Except for the people like Slok, everyone else basically has a copy of the information.
Almost all of those materials are their black materials~www.readwn.com~ Some black materials have even been forgotten by them, but now they are clearly in front of them!
Silence!
There was only the sound of undulating breathing in the entire conference room.
Andre looked at these people and said with a smile: "Then let's vote now, please raise your hand if you agree with me as president!"
The voice fell!
Everyone looked at each other!
Then "Chameleon" William was the first to raise his hand: "I agree!"
"I agree too!" Carr continued.
"Yes!" said Doberman.
Seeing this, the others raised their hands, lest they be left behind—
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The voices of approval came one after another, resounding in the conference room!
Soon, Slok was the only one of the thirty or so people in the huge conference room who had not raised his hand.
Andre smiled, looked at Slok and said, "Lord Vice President, what about you? Are you in favor or against?"
Slok had mixed feelings in his heart, looked at the black material in his hand, and looked at the people who raised their hands and voted in favor, sighed: "I agree!" After speaking, he raised his hand!
