193 I Can’t Afford and I Don’t Want to Pay

Old Aston hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly, "Henry, you have to understand that we have not made any mistakes in 30 years, and the insurance premiums are slowly increasing every year."

"And, when the premium increased to 100 million pounds more than a decade ago, Sinclair Group estimated that it was less than 200 million pounds, and its actual value was even lower. Even the 10 million reserves submitted to the Royal Insurance Association were almost not enough."

"If it is increased to the actual premium of 2 tons of diamonds, I don't know which insurance company in England has the ability to take over this policy."

According to the increase in gold, 200 million pounds will be equal to 10 billion pounds in the future, and 300 million pounds will be 15 billion.

Moreover, the valuation is different from the actual assets. At least the insurance company must have enough money to pay the insurance.

Once it is reported that you will lose 100 million pounds, no matter how big your brand is, it will instantly plummet 30%, or even half.

Otherwise, why can American insurance companies with valuations worth hundreds of billions of dollars make them bankrupt and liquidate?

It’s not that the brand value is only useful when nothing happens. If something happens, no matter how famous you are and how good your service is, your assets will still plummet.

Therefore, for Diamond Group, unless it is found in the United States, there are indeed few insurance companies in England that can take over the 200 million pound insurance policy.

Moreover, there has been no accident in thirty years. Not to mention the people from the Diamond Group, any one person will think about reducing costs. The difference between 100 million insured and 200 million insured is only 100 million pounds.

When a group of people were silent, attorney Claire, who went out to answer the phone, walked in with a puzzle-like gift box sized by a cigarette delivery paper with confusion.

"Gentlemen, I'm going to convey everything, finally," Claire put the gift box on the table, showing a ritual smile, "I'll wait for your phone call."

When Claire walked out, someone suggested, "Do you want to arrest this lawyer?"

Finch looked at Li Changheng, and Li Changheng's eyes were only placed on the gift box on the table.

Finch could only speak, "I'm afraid Mr. Claire only knows this, and the police and I have no reason or right to detain him."

Oliver said dissatisfiedly, "At least, I'll send someone to stare at him."

"Sorry, I am an insurance investigator, not a policeman or a private detective."

Finch would not do such obvious violations or even illegal things.

When Old Aston saw Li Changheng keep looking at the small gift box, he picked up the box and opened it casually.

But I didn't see Li Changheng's mouth slightly raised.

If it were him, he would definitely not have started directly.

Although dark yellow paper does not easily leave fingerprints, the box inside is not only not touched by others, but it is easy to leave fingerprints on a slightly smoother box.

At least you have to wear gloves to avoid overlapping your fingerprints with those of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Old Aston not only held the box with empty hands, but saw that there was a big diamond in the box, but also picked up the diamond with his hand and looked at the light.

He sat in the boss's chair with a dark expression, "That's right, this is the African Star 3 diamond."

When everyone heard Old Aston's words, their faces were solemn and darker.

That said, someone did enter the vault and steal all the diamonds.

But what is unbelievable is that the vault not only has one channel, but also a closed-circuit monitoring system was installed the day before yesterday.

Who stole the entire 2 tons of diamonds and how did they transport them away?

Now the largest and most precious diamond was sent back as evidence. The only benefit is to confirm that the diamond was indeed stolen.

Can apply for compensation from the insurance company.

As for why the robbers demanded a 100 million pounds the same as the insurance compensation fee, no one cares at this time, and no one wants to cause trouble, which will affect the premium.

Half an hour later, Sinclair, who was fat and at most 1.7 meters tall, walked in quickly while smoking a cigar.

After seeing Charles and Andrew, Sinclair was stunned at first, then a hint of vigilance and worry flashed in his eyes.

But an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face and bowed in a regular manner.

"Good noon, two Your Highnesses."

"Good noon, Mr. Sinclair."

When I saw the African Star 3 diamond, Old Aston was confused and didn't care about any politeness, "Sinclair, let's talk about premiums."

Sinclair's mouth twitched a few times. Although his Sinclair Insurance Company has not been the largest after so many years of development, it can still take out 100 million pounds of cash.

After all, Diamond Group's insurance in the past 30 years alone has almost £60 million.

But if you really pay this 100 million pounds at once, you will also face a large number of customers who are worried about the shortage of funds for insurance companies.

Not only will you stop taking out insurance, you may even ask to apply for your own insurance business and transfer to other large insurance companies.

Once a trend of abandoning insurance is really formed, Sinclair Insurance Company will not go bankrupt.

As the largest shareholder, Sinclair Bartley has to face the return of a millionaire worth tens of millions of pounds to a millionaire, or even millionaire, back decades ago.

And this is not what Sinclair is most worried about.

Even if he retires for hundreds of thousands of pounds, he is enough for his retirement. What worries him the most is that after working hard for so many years, his methods are not very bright.

Even to be honest, vampires and cold-blooded ruthlessness are all positive descriptions.

Along the way, wealth has increased, and it has been accompanied by countless lawsuits.

There are countless customers who have not known the traps in the contract, or have been deliberately delayed by the insurance company and sued without getting anything.

If you fall from a millionaire to an ordinary person, the several lawsuits this year alone will make Sinclair Insurance Company fall into the abyss or even go bankrupt and liquidate directly

The best ending will be when it comes to jail.

So, let alone 100 million, he wouldn't want to pay even 30 million, or even 10 million pounds.

Sinclair ignored Old Aston and looked at his insurance investigator, "Mr. Finch Grant, I want to listen to your report first."

When Sinclair heard Finch grabbing the Aston family's painful foot, his eyes lit up.

Of course, he hoped that Finch could retrieve those diamonds, which means that the business would be done as expected, with a premium of more than 2 million pounds per year.

Perhaps catching the Aston family can also make you invincible.

As for a bad reputation, as long as you leave according to the contract and be scolded by someone, it will not affect the fact that you are a millionaire.

In a country like England, having money does not mean having power, but not having money is a lamb.

Sinclair, who made up his mind not to pay the million yuan, took out a check book from his pocket and wrote a 5 million pound check in the excited and anticipated eyes of the owner of the Diamond Group.

"Use this money to build a stronger and safer vault."

Old Aston took the check and laughed angrily and mocked, "5 million pounds? Is this your return to your 30-year-old customer?"

"Don't expect the robbers to really return the diamonds."

Sinclair, who was sitting on the chair, raised his legs and said, "The robbers are sure you will try your luck. While eating those diamonds, they also want to get a 100 million blackmail fee.

If you really pay this million, that would be extremely stupid."

Old Aston knew in his heart that Sinclair was not going to pay, but even if there was a glimmer of hope, he still wanted to try talking to Sinclair.

Moreover, as the king who has ruled the Diamond Group for decades, Aston, the old man is not without the control of those rich people who have business dealings with the Diamond Group and the company's handle.

Even when Diamond Group went bankrupt, Downing Street was the first to refuse to agree.

Otherwise, Charles, Prince Andrew, and Princess Anne, the legendary boyfriend, would not have been sent to help by His Majesty Philip.

At the same time, this can be regarded as a direct telling him that the royal family supports Mir Aston.
