Chapter 716 The 500 million bet is exposed

"Get the hell out of here!" Tyson Fury pushed Geekwood away.

In front of Tyson Fury, Geekwood was like a chicken, powerless to fight back. He fell down on the ground, but he couldn't stop saying: "You want to refund the deposit, you must have the spirit of the contract!"

"Spirit of the contract?" Tyson Fury glared at Geekwood with a sneer on his face: "What deposit? I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Tyson Fury was clearly planning to turn his back on him, but Geekwood couldn't do anything about it.

Watching Tyson Fury go away, Geekwood got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his clothes, and walked into his car in a daze.

"I hope Mr. Omi can forgive me!" Geekwood said silently in his heart.

...

"How can I forgive you? I remember I told you once, if you don't get your money back, don't get it back? What about my money?" Omi snarled at Geekwood, who was hesitant to speak. Kewood waved his hand, and continued: "Okay, don't say any more, from today, you are fired!"

"Boss, please, please don't do this, I still have..." Geekwood immediately begged for mercy.

"If you don't disappear in front of me again, I will call security!" Omi snorted coldly, and Geekwood immediately stopped his voice and walked out in a desperate manner.

Geekwood was walking down the street in a daze, with confusion in his eyes. For him, being unemployed really seemed like a bolt from the blue had hit him, turning him into a walking dead.

"I'm still burdened with a ten-year mortgage. My son is still in middle school in the United States. If I lose my job, what will they do? If I can't pay the mortgage, my family will be evicted from the house and sleep on the street; my My sons can’t finish their studies either, they will go to top universities and work in Silicon Valley in the future! How can this be? No! I can’t just lose my job, I have to make money for my family!”

Gaekwood’s salary is definitely high among Indians, but Indians don’t have any savings habits, and Gaekwood’s is the same. His expensive salary is spent every month, so it’s meaningless for Gaekwood to change his career. to lose everything.

With Geekwood's qualifications, it is not very difficult to find a job in India, but finding a job takes time, and Geekwood needs money now, at least next month's housing loan and his son's living expenses Earn it and keep him out of bankruptcy until he finds a new job.

"I have been with Omi for so many years, and I was fired when I said I was fired! I don't care about it at all. Fortunately, I also kept some things, which should be able to sell for a good price." Geekwood thought of this , took out his mobile phone, found a number, he hesitated, and finally dialed the number.

"Hey, remember me? Geekwood! Yes, that's the Indian Geekwood. I have something you are interested in. It's about the dispute between Zhang Guan and the Maliya Group. I can give you a little bit Let me tell you, this dispute is worth 500 million U.S. dollars! We can meet and discuss the details in detail, and I can guarantee that the content will be absolutely explosive, enough for you to write a news report for a week! However, I have revealed such a large amount of information to you, but I have to bear the risk Yes, so in terms of the cost of breaking the news...Okay, I understand, I guarantee that it is definitely worth the money."

Gaekwood breathed a sigh of relief, he hung up the phone, thought about it carefully, and felt that he should shop around, so he called another reporter.

...

"This year's F1 European Grand Prix will still be held in Valencia, Spain," Ross Brawn said.

"Still? Wasn't the previous European station in Valencia?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The location of the European Grand Prix has been changing. Many countries in Europe used to be the venue for the F1 European Grand Prix. In Schumacher's era, the European Grand Prix was held in Germany. Alonso won two consecutive championships. The station moved to Spain again."

Ross Brown went on to say: "Valencia is a street race. You should think that the track is very narrow, the road is winding, the speed is slow, and overtaking is difficult. But Valencia is different. Although he is a street race But the track is very wide, even the narrowest part is 14 meters. There are large fast corners in the track, and there are many opportunities for overtaking, so Valencia is a high-speed track.”

Zhang Guan noticed that there was no worry in Ross Brown's tone, but a hint of expectation. He immediately said, "Seeing how confident you are, is it possible that our kinetic energy recovery system can handle it?"

"That's right, the new kinetic energy recovery system has completed the first phase of testing, and we will use it in the next race in Valencia. With the kinetic energy recovery system, we will have a great advantage in high-speed circuits. Obviously. At least in terms of speed, we will not be crushed by Ferrari, McLaren or Red Bull like in previous races." Ross Brawn said.

"Since the end of the British race, I haven't tasted the championship for two consecutive races." Zhang Guan said.

"I have another piece of news that you are interested in. Schumacher is coming back!" Ross Brown said.

"Schumacher is back? Will he replace the injured Massa?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Yes, Massa suffered a head injury in the last race. There is no hope of returning to the field this season. Ferrari is also preparing to give up this season and shift its focus to the development of new cars for the next season. And Schumacher's The comeback should make F1 fans excited for a while, and Ferrari will once again become the focus of all teams, I believe that both the team and the sponsors are very willing to see this result." Ross Brown frowned and thought for a while , and then said: "But you don't have to worry, the tuning of each car is different. That car was originally owned by Massa, and the car tuning was also based on Massa's driving habits. Even the car king Schumacher, driving A car that doesn’t belong to me won’t run well.”

Zhang Guan recalled it carefully. He remembered that only two weeks after Schumacher announced his contribution, he announced again that he would cancel the F1 comeback plan due to physical reasons. Most car fans went from wild confidence to broken dreams.

Driving an F1 car to participate in the competition is a very exhausting time. Perhaps the car king has been idle for several years and cannot adapt to the rhythm of the F1 competition in just one month. Schumacher's real time is next season, and the team he paid is not a red Ferrari, but a silver Mercedes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan said: "Maybe Schumacher's comeback is just talk, maybe he is not ready at all."

"This possibility is not ruled out, but don't underestimate Schumacher's determination. I have been with him for so many years, and he is a person who refuses to admit defeat." Ross Brown was talking when his cell phone vibrated suddenly. A text message came.

Ross Brown picked up the phone, glanced at the text message, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He raised his head and said to Zhang Guan: "The reporter found out about the 500 million bet!"

...

"The biggest bet in history, a gamble of 500 million dollars! "

Seeing the headline, Zhang Guan clicked on the news without hesitation, and at the same time said to himself: "How could the reporter know about this! Besides, there is even a photocopy of the bet. They never Where did you get this thing?"

"The photocopies of the contract can only be obtained from two places. One is from you, and the other is from the Maria family. The signatures on the two contracts must be somewhat different. You just need to check the signatures on them and take a look. If it is consistent with the signature in your hand, you know that this contract was leaked over there." Ross Brown said.

Zhang Guan immediately made a phone call back to confirm, and soon after he got the news that the signature on the photocopy of the contract that appeared on the news was different from the one in his hand. In other words, this contract is not the contract in his own hands, but leaked from the Maria family.

"It was leaked by the Maria family. Why did they leak this contract? Does it do them any good?" Zhang Guan lowered his head and thought silently.

Ross Brown next to him showed an old fox-like smile, and only heard him say: "If my guess is correct, soon a reporter will ask you to verify the authenticity of this 500 million bet. What are you going to do?" response?"

Zhang Guan shook his head: "I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. That's 500 million U.S. dollars, and it might become a big trouble. I'm worried that someone will make a big fuss about it. You know, I'm an athlete after all, so big The number, maybe someone has something to do with the professional ethics of some athletes."

Ross Brown nodded in understanding. With Zhang Guan's current status, if it is a bet of several million dollars, even if it is a bet of tens of millions of dollars, it will not attract too much gossip. For example, those sports stars in the United States spend a lot of money in nightclubs, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a night, and people even take it for granted, because they are all owners worth hundreds of millions. One hundred million people is not considered a luxury.

But the amount of 500 million US dollars is too huge, it is hard not to associate it with other things, and some people even hope to forcibly get a share of it.

"I guess the Maria family must very much hope that you will respond vaguely, and even hope that you will give a negative answer." Ross Brown said with a smile.

"Why do you think so?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Because that will become the basis for them to renege on the debt. If you say that there is no such bet, then they can use this as a basis to directly renege on the debt. Even if you are vague and do not admit or deny it, they will magnify it. It's not good for you to admit it," Ross Brown said.

"But we have a contract, which is clearly written in black and white, and there were lawyers on the scene at the time, so there is nothing they can do if they want to renege!" Zhang Guan argued.

"So what in black and white? The legal system of the Commonwealth seems fair, but in fact there are many loopholes that can be exploited. The party to the dispute may eventually be treated fairly, but the price he pays may even be greater than what he gets. More," Ross Brown said.

Zhang Guan nodded thoughtfully. Although what Ross Brown said was a little unclear, it made Zhang Guan feel vigilant.

At this moment, Zhang Guan's cell phone rang, and it was He Yiming calling.

"Brother He, what's the matter?" Zhang Guan answered the phone.

"You should know about the 500 million dollar bet exposure. People from the Maria family called me just now, and I hope that neither of us will respond to this matter." He Yiming said.

"No response? They mean neither admitting nor denying it?" Zhang Guan's vigilance grew a little bit stronger.

"Yes. The Maria family said that once the $500 million bet is confirmed, it is likely to affect the stock price of their holding company and cause them additional economic losses. They said they will definitely abide by the bet, but hope we We can cooperate to reduce their losses as much as possible." He Yiming said.

"Is this what they said orally?" Zhang Guan asked suddenly.

He Yiming on the other side of the phone was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It was spoken. There is no need to go to India to sign a contract for this kind of thing, right?"

"I see." Zhang Guan thought for a few seconds, and said casually: "Brother He, you promise them for me first, and say that we will not accept interviews with reporters about the $500 million bet. Draft me a public statement saying that the bet is true, attach a photocopy of our contract, and arrange an interview with the lawyer who witnessed it at the time."

"Are you trying to trick them?" He Yiming laughed suddenly, and then said: "But the two lawyers who witnessed the signing of the contract may not be interviewed, after all, this involves the privacy of the client."

"Then give them authorization, at least our authorization can be given to them!"

Zhang Guan hung up the phone, took a slow breath, looked at Rose Brown again, and found that Rose Brown was looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Brown, thank you for your reminder." Zhang Guan said.

"It's nothing, you are my boss. I remember that when you came to me last year, I told you that after you win the five hundred million dollars, you will give me a bonus. For my bonus, I will also Let you hold the five hundred million dollars in your hands." Ross Brown replied with a smile.

"Actually, I still don't understand. Since they have a contract in hand, why do they still renege? You mentioned the legal system of the Commonwealth just now. Would they seek administrative help? Can administratively encounter the legal system?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The law is the law, and no one can be above the law, at least on the surface." Ross-Brown continued: "But this does not mean that the Maria family has no other ways to repay their debts. Let me ask you, if What are you going to do if you won the F1 annual championship and the Maria family refuses to give you money?"

"Take the legal route and sue them. Anyway, I have a contract, and I have a professional lawyer to witness it when I sign the contract." Zhang Guan said.

"That's right, but after being sued, first they can ask for an out-of-court settlement..." Ross Brown began to explain.

...

Maria family.

"Zhang Guan's agent just gave us a reply, they said they would not accept interviews with reporters."

"Great! It seems that our strategy has succeeded, and Zhang Guan has fallen for it! Although Omi has vowed that Zhang Guan will not win the F1 championship, we all know that the situation is not optimistic. Winning one or two races will prevent other drivers from having a chance to come back. So we must buy an insurance policy! The exposure of the 500 million bet contract just gave us a chance." It was Omi's uncle who spoke.

Omi's father was also on the side. Although his face was very ugly, he still put on a smile and said to a man in his fifties beside him, "Lawyer Noel, what did you say?" , we have all done it, so can you tell me tenderly, what are you going to do? How can you save us this 500 million dollars?"
