Chapter 961 Everyone takes a step back

Bill will never compromise against Lin Feng's threat. However, now he is on the verge of an arrow. If he doesn't compromise, Lin Feng will not give up. In the end, if the quarrel continues, both sides will suffer.

"Mr. Lin, I think we should be honest and sincere to each other!" Bill thought for a while and persuaded tactfully.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Bill, I don't want to hurt our harmony because of this matter. Let's do this. I will give you a discount on this matter, a 20% discount, and allow you to pay in installments, but the down payment must be 2 billion US dollars. The rest

We can discuss it in detail!" Lin Feng said.

Bill frowned.

"Mr. Lin, your sincerity is really insufficient. Our maximum compensation is US$200 million. You must know that this contract is invalid." Bill insisted.

"Haha, Mr. Bill, 200 million US dollars, do I have to come out to find you in person? This is my condition. If your company doesn't agree, it's very simple. I will make it back from the lottery through my own eyes!" Lin

said the wind threateningly.

Bill felt irritated again after hearing this. Lin Feng was giving an ultimatum in disguise. If they didn't fulfill the contract, I'm afraid Lin Feng would kill the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United.

"Mr. Lin, please allow me to think about it. Of course, I also hope that Mr. Lin will reconsider your conditions. You know, this condition is too harsh." Bill said very sincerely, hung up the phone, and returned

In the conference room, Lin Feng's conditions were discussed again with everyone.

Hearing the blind tone on the phone, Lin Feng smiled. He was convinced that Bill would compromise and William Hill would give in, as long as he lowered the conditions a little bit. Because now this matter is no longer just between himself and

The incident involving William Hill has affected the British people and the stability of British society.

Because before that, Lin Feng received a call from the British Secretary of Commerce. On the phone, the British Secretary of Commerce asked Lin Feng in a very subtle way not to do any more sensational things (referring to Avril Lavigne’s high-profile announcement of the bet), so as not to damage the business.

British society is prosperous and stable.

The reason why the British Secretary of Commerce said this is because Avril Lavigne's high-profile bets in two consecutive games triggered a gambling frenzy among the British people, and they all followed Avril Lavigne's lead. To be honest, people earn some pocket money from bookmakers.

The British government does not object, but rather appreciates it. After all, these gambling companies make so much money a year, and occasionally spitting out some money can be considered as giving back to society. But if these fans are no longer betting with spare money, but almost bankrupting their bets,

That's not good. Especially if these fans are betting on a bet, that's even more bad.

Winning is easy to say, but what if we lose? What will happen to the thousands of British fans who spend all their money betting on football? Behind every British fan is a family. How will these families live? Even if the government is willing to provide relief.

, the money required for this is also a huge expense, which is equivalent to the British government paying for the gambling companies in disguise. Isn't this ridiculous. But if there is no relief, so many fans who lose money may be forced to live under pressure.

If you do something illegal, the harm will be even greater.

Therefore, the far-sighted Secretary of Commerce immediately called Lin Feng and asked him not to mislead the British people again. After all, even if Avril Lavigne loses tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, it is just a drop in the bucket for Avril and Lin Feng, but to Lavigne

For ordinary people, losing thousands or tens of thousands of pounds is really not a small amount of money.

Lin Feng was also quite surprised that the Secretary of Commerce personally called him, but this was a good thing. Let's talk about the cause and effect, and naturally skip some of the detailed issues in the middle. He just said that William Hill Gambling Company defaulted on the debt, so Avril was helpless.

Only in this way can you ask for money.

After hearing this, the British Secretary of Commerce was dumbfounded. He immediately said that he would report it to the Prime Minister for a decision, and said that if the situation was true, the British government would definitely give Avril Lavigne an explanation. But the premise is that Lin Feng is not allowed to make such grandstanding and undermine the unity of British society.

.

Lin Feng smiled helplessly. Now he has become a person who affects the unity of British society. He is really honored. But as long as the British government is willing to intervene in this matter!

Subsequently, while Bill and the company directors were discussing the matter, the Secretary of Commerce called and asked about the matter in detail.

Bill was also surprised that the Secretary of Commerce personally called. He didn't understand how this matter could involve the British government. After a brief explanation, he received a suggestion from the British government, and the British Ministry of Commerce came forward to coordinate Avril Lavigne (

Lin Feng) and William Hill Corporation over a dispute over US$1 billion in gambling capital.

For this suggestion, the entire William Hill company naturally agreed, and proposed to hold it three days later, after the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United. Bill hoped to take this opportunity to stabilize Lin Feng. After all, the meeting led by the Ministry of Commerce, Lin Feng

Naturally, Feng could not place a large bet on this game before, otherwise he would have offended the British government. Lin Feng's title of "Sir Commander of the Order of the British Empire" alone was not enough to offend the British government. As for three days later, even if we talk

Even if it collapses, William Hill is not afraid. Without the relationship between Leeds United owner and Lin Feng, other teams will not be so afraid. At least the fans will not be so crazy, and Lin Feng will not dare to spend a lot of money to make big bets.

.

It's a pity that Bill is smart and Lin Feng is not stupid either.

"No, it must be held within three days, otherwise there will be no discussion." Lin Feng said forcefully.

"Mr. Lin, what does it matter if it's one day early or one day late?" the Secretary of Commerce said with a headache.

"Mr. Cable, with all due respect, this is not a matter of time, but a matter of sincerity. If William Hill wants to negotiate, it must do so within three days, otherwise I will not talk to it again. You

You should also know that in this matter, they were the first to be in the wrong, and if they want peace talks, they must show their sincerity." Lin Feng said bluntly.

British Business Secretary Cable had a headache. Finally, after discussing with Bill and Lin Feng, they decided to negotiate on Saturday morning.

Time flies by and Saturday comes in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, Avril. I will handle this matter. Just wait for the good news. By the way, Kenyon, you go with me today!" Lin Feng smiled and patted Avril on the shoulder to reassure her. Then

Said to Kenyon.

At present, there is no one around Lin Feng. When it comes to negotiations, Lin Feng asks himself that he is far inferior to Tottenham Hotspur general manager Kenyon. He is the real negotiator. With him leading the negotiations, plus Lin Chiling's assistance, today's

Negotiation is enough.

The fact is indeed as Lin Feng expected, Kenyon played a major role in today's negotiations. It can be said that no one at William Hill expected Lin Feng to bring Kenyon. As for Kenyon, they again

You are familiar with this, but he is a ruthless figure in the position of general manager of the Premier League. His negotiation skills are well known to the world. In the past, he was able to help Manchester United recruit top players from all walks of life. Now he can also help Lin Feng recruit Beckham from Manchester United and West Ham from West Ham.

The United team hired Defoe and single-handedly led Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfers. His ability is obvious to all.

Now that this person is here, today's negotiation may be very difficult.

This is indeed the case. Kenyon immediately took advantage of the illegality of the contract to take the initiative and directly criticized William Hill for picking words in the contract in order to avoid compensation, finding clauses that could refuse compensation, and ruining the reputation of the British gambling industry.

Then there were more threats and inducements, and he was determined to help Lin Feng collect his debt at all costs. Secretary of Commerce Cable was stunned for a while, and Bill and others were also frightened.

They couldn't help but be frightened. Kenyon expected that if there was no compensation this time, Tottenham Hotspur would establish a sky-high winning bonus for the team to stimulate the players to keep winning. And if a team can keep winning,

This is undoubtedly good news and a bright light for fans. By then, the fans' betting money will be enough to bankrupt William Hill.

But in the end, Kenyon, who had always been extremely tough, suddenly changed his attitude and offered to lower the conditions, asking William Hill to only compensate US$3 billion, but the down payment must be US$2 billion. The rest can be paid in installments and repaid in 10 years.

clear.

Secretary of Commerce Cable also felt that Kenyon's condition was reasonable. After all, in his opinion, this matter was purely due to William Hill's losses. He wanted to make a fortune, but unexpectedly things did not go as wonderful as expected, and ended up losing money instead.

Because of this, they tried their best to avoid this huge compensation of 5 billion US dollars. This is why Lin Feng was implicated and caused so many troubles!

In the end, with the mediation of the Secretary of Commerce, William Hill's defensive tactics, Kenyon's strength, and Lin Feng's forbearance, the two parties finally reached a friendly agreement. William Hill Gaming Company agreed to compensate Avril Lavigne for a total of US$3 billion in gambling.

And the down payment is 1.5 billion US dollars, and the remaining 1.5 billion US dollars of debt will be paid off in the next ten years. At the same time, William Hill also put forward a condition that Lin Feng and Avril Lavigne cannot publicize this compensation, so as not to affect William Hill's stock price and reputation.

, otherwise William Hill has the right to refuse compensation.

To this, Lin Feng happily agreed. Lin Feng had no intention of using this news to cause trouble, so it was natural for him to agree.

"Mr. Bill, thank you. I'm very satisfied that we were able to reach an agreement in the end." Lin Feng smiled and shook hands.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you can keep your promise. Also, it is best not to meet again, and I hope Mr. Lin will not buy lottery tickets from our company again!" Bill said forcefully and left.

Lin Feng smiled. He was not a gambler. He would not take risks to buy lottery tickets if it was not necessary.

"Okay, Avril, look, the matter is finally solved." Lin Feng took a long breath, the matter was finally solved successfully, and he can start his big plan.
Chapter completed!
