1435 [Do you want the salted fish to turn over] under
When Jarente finished talking about his family and his parents, he was already in tears.
For him, every time he recalls these past events, his heart will be cut off.
Although he was still very young at that time, he already knew a lot of things, and even more so how his uncle, Duke Philip, treated them and their son.
"He is a monster! a ruthless beast!" This is Jarente's comment to Duke Philip.
Although it was just an audience, after listening to Jarente's story, Song Zhichao and Du Chunmei couldn't help but sigh.
Even a man like Ruan Jun couldn't help but breathe fire in his eyes. It can be imagined that if the Duke Philip was right in front of him at this moment, he would definitely beat him up.
Song Zhichao glanced at the children who were happily eating hamburgers and hot dogs, and couldn't help but say, "Dear Jarente, I want to know, since you have reached this point, have you ever thought about turning over?"
"Flip over? What does it mean?"
"I mean, are you willing to live like this for your whole life, so that your children can live as silly as you? Or do you regain your honor and what belongs to you?"
Jarente's eyes suddenly became hot, and he looked at Song Zhichao: "Dear Song, you mean..." Then, his hot eyes dimmed again, "No, it's impossible! I tried, and I also thought that through my efforts, I used to find everything that once belonged to me, but the reality is that the more I struggle, the more I fail!"
At this time, Jarenter's wife said: "We have tried to find a lawyer and go through legal procedures to apply for inheritance of the Howard family, his father, Mr. Ferryman's estate, but our lawsuit was lost, and our house and the only land!"
In the UK, lawsuits are usually done by wealthy people.
Often, a lawsuit will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and energy.
Especially in terms of the funds for lawsuits, many people end up asking for leave on the spot.
Jarente was no exception. In order to find everything his father left him, Jarente mortgaged the place where he lived, sold the last land and his wife's jewelry. In the end, the lawsuit was fought again and again, and he delayed it again and again, and finally spent more than 100,000 pounds in exchange for a notice of failure of the appeal.
on the contrary--
Philip, the head of the Howard family, did not care about the little lawsuit fee at all. Instead, he played a cat-catching mouse game with his nephew.
In this way, Jarente became poorer and poorer, moved from the rich to the poor, and his wife and children also suffered and became humble poor.
Faced with Jarent's wife's statement, Song Zhichao did not say anything.
Du Chunmei, next to her, had the most say, and said: "Yes! It's very expensive to sue in the UK! There are many examples. Originally, rich people came, but because they eventually spent a lot of savings, they turned from a rich man to a poor man overnight! There is even a proverb in the UK that if you want to be a rich man, you should cut wool, and if you want to be a poor man, you should go to a lawsuit!"
Song Zhichao smiled, but he didn't expect that Du Chunmei was so clear about the "legal history" in Britain.
To put it bluntly, there is a characteristic of British lawsuits, that is, they delay for too long.
The British people pay attention to democracy and freedom, human rights, and "incriminal inference". They do things in a very old-fashioned way. Often, one case can be tried for several years after another. Some cases can even be delayed for more than ten years.
This is not a joke, but a real fact.
Therefore, few people in the UK will take the initiative to sue unless they are absolutely necessary.
So how did the British resolve their conflicts?
It's very simple, "reconciliation under the court".
To put it bluntly, the parties involved gathered together to discuss with each other, and felt that it was almost the same. They no longer waste each other's time and no longer paid money to lawyers and courts.
After learning about the laws here, Song Zhichao smiled and said to Jarente: "I already understand what you mean. Are you afraid that you will lose again?"
Jarenta nodded, "Yes, dear Mr. Song! Now I have nothing, only my dear wife and three children, so what can I give you? You can't get anything from me! On the contrary, if you help me, you may lose a lot, such as money, or even something else!"
As if afraid that Song Zhichao would not believe it, Jarente said again: "Don't think I'm exaggerating. I came from that family and knew who that Philip was. In order to achieve his goal, he could do anything!"
"What's more, my dear Song, you are from far away Hong Kong and are not familiar with the place here. Even if you really help me, you can't beat Philip. Don't forget that besides being a famous duke in England, he is also an extremely wealthy person! In the UK, money and status determine your destiny. I don't want your failed destiny to implicate you!"
Song Zhichao smiled and said to Jarente: "Jarente, do you know who I am? Yes, I am a businessman! Then do you know what characteristics of me, a businessman? That is, I like investment! And I like that kind of adventurous investment the most!"
Jarent: “…?!”
Even his wife looked at Song Zhichao together.
To be honest, they also hope that Song Zhichao can help him. After all, they have now fallen to the most unbearable state. At least someone is willing to give them a little help, and they will be grateful.
But deep down, they are afraid that such a beautiful wish is just a fantasy and can easily be shattered.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which is what they least want to see!
So they had to use tactful reasons to reject Song Zhichao's help, but only they themselves knew how eager they were - they were to turn around and to find everything they belonged to!
"You may not believe it. I have hardly lost or lost my hands in so many risky investments!"
If Song Zhichao said this to others, they would definitely think that he was bragging, but only Du Chunmei and Ruan Jun around him knew that all the things Song Zhichao said were true!
Since Song Zhichao started investing, from the beginning of doing Soviet foreign trade, to investing in VCD, to establishing Wanxin Investment Company, creating Phantom Entertainment, etc., this series of operations have basically been a huge profit!
That's right, it's a huge profit!
Even because of Song Zhichao's superman achievements, he was praised by Hong Kong people as the "hand of gold" and the contemporary "God of Wealth".
And facts have also proved that Song Zhichao is fully qualified to bear such praise.
But this is the UK, and Jarenter and his wife have known Song Zhichao for the first time. For Song Zhichao, their understanding is still blank. Oh no, to be precise, it seems that this is a rich man from Hong Kong, that's all!
