Chapter 278 The name I want

Ms. Caitlin and Mr. Zhou Ming, I admit defeat to you. I am very sorry for the previous incident. I am willing to fulfill the contract we signed before.

At noon, when Zhou Ming and Caitlin were preparing for lunch, they received a call from Simpson. He apologized very directly on the phone and said that he hoped to exchange their understanding by fulfilling the contract.

Zhou Ming and Caitlin's reply to this was also very direct: "Come here and have lunch together."

So an hour later, Simpson came to the restaurant where Zhou Ming and Caitlyn were. Li Yang and Ye Ning were also here, but they both expressed deep hostility towards Simpson. Then Zhou Ming invited him to sit down: "Mr. Simpson, you're here just right, we haven't had lunch yet. I heard that the foie gras in this restaurant is particularly famous. I think we can taste it together and serve with the best champagne."

While talking, Zhou Ming asked the waiter to start serving the dishes. Simpson was hesitating and only after he made up his mind after all the dishes were served.

"Mr. Zhou Ming and Ms. Caitlin, I am here to say sorry to you this time. I hope you can forgive me for those excessive words before me." Simpson said actively.

Since Simpson was so straightforward, Zhou Ming also put down the tableware in his hand and looked at him and asked, "I'm very curious, how could you make such a decision?"

"It's because of the stock market." Simpson replied, "I saw the news about the contract you announced to the media yesterday, and I also know that you and others have been buying all the notes in my family's industry yesterday. This is a precursor to shorting. When you push the price to a standard and then suddenly sell it, my family will suffer heavy losses."

"I know what you are doing, and I can't resist it, so I give in to you," said Simpson.

Caitlin and Li Yang and Ye Ning both have some differences. After all, they are subtly influenced by Zhou Ming. They want to fight to the end no matter what they are. No matter how terrible the situation is, there is still a possibility of turning the tables. What's more, they are just a little worse? Therefore, they will be surprised by such direct behavior of admitting defeat.

But thinking about it carefully is a smart choice. Since you have seen the result, why do you still have to go on stupidly? It is better to admit defeat in advance. At least this will give yourself a decent result, and you have to take into account Andre's actions, and there is still a lot of room for action. And if you are so desperate and when Zhou Ming controls the situation, he will have to be slaughtered.

It is precisely for these reasons that for a small nobleman like Simpson who does not have much ambitions, the least risky compromise is the best choice.

"What about Andre? You should discuss it with him as soon as something happens, right?" Zhou Ming asked suddenly.

Zhou Ming reminded Caitlin and the others, and Simpson slapped the table angrily and said, "Andre is a bastard who repays vengeance!"

"I did go to him at the first time, but he not only refused to save me, but even used my current experience to seize my property," Simpson gritted his teeth and told them hatefully, "This damn bastard, I used to treat him as my best brother, and I will do my best to help him inherit the family, but when I encounter trouble, the first thing he thinks about is to seize my property, and I will never let him succeed!"

"Then do you think we will believe you?" Caitlin asked him.

Simpson frowned and obviously didn't understand it very much. Caitlin had to continue reminding him: "I think you must have heard a story about a wolf coming?"

When Simpson heard this, his face suddenly became dim, because the wolf is coming, which is one of the most famous fables in Aesop's fables. Of course, Simpson had heard of it, and he also understood that Caitlin suddenly mentioned this to remind him that he had deceived them before, so they would not believe him this time, just like the villagers who always heard the wolf's call.

"But this time it's true!" Simpson tried to convince him at last, "Andre is a fool with only money left in his eyes! Just because I didn't give him a 150 million francs, he held a grudge against me. This time he actually revenges me in this way. I can swear to God that every word I say is true!"

"He is just a dizzy idiot. I don't want him to win. I want to save my property even more. Please believe me!" Simpson said.

However, neither Caitlin nor Li Yang and Ye Ning expressed their opinions, which disappointed Simpson very much. He lowered his head and felt very annoyed.

"I really regret it. I should have believed you at the beginning, and I shouldn't believe that idiot Andre. His desire will destroy the entire Harrusburg family!" Simpson said in pain.

"Actually Andre is not an idiot. He is a very smart guy. Otherwise, he would not have dared to force you to hand over your property so blatantly at this time." Zhou Ming said suddenly.

Simpson looked up at Zhou Ming incredibly. He seemed to be unable to believe his ears. In fact, it was not only Simpson, but even Caitlin and Li Yang and Ye Ning looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly said that at this time.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, you... do you actually believe me?" Simpson asked, his voice trembling a little excited.

Zhou Ming shook his head: "I'm sorry I don't believe you. I just told one of the possibilities. After all, the story of Wolf coming is too empathetic. For those of us who have heard you tell stories and been deceived by you, it is difficult to believe you again, so he can do it very boldly because he knows that even if you want to find us and him, it will not succeed."

Zhou Ming's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Simpson's head, which made him feel very frustrated, but Zhou Ming's subsequent words gave him hope.

"But we can still talk, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you here today." Zhou Ming continued, "It's just that I need you to fulfill our contract first, that is, to replace your museum with Caitlin's name immediately."

Simpson looked like constipation. He felt that he was swinging the swing back and forth between hope and frustration. After believing it, he just said that they could talk and said that he had to fulfill the contract first. Simpson felt that he was about to cry: Brother, can we speak well and not play with people like this?

Zhou Ming patted Simpson on the shoulder: "You have to know that you have no credibility here, so you must first show your sincerity, otherwise you can only go out and turn right to choose Andre."

"Then why can I trust you?" Simpson asked Zhou Ming.

Li Yang and Ye Ning glared at each other and started to curse, but Zhou Ming stopped them. Zhou Ming told Simpson: "Just because I am willing to believe you now! You must know that you and Andre are deceiving us from beginning to end, but we have no behavior of deceiving you. Do you know that I can get back the 150 million francs by cheques, but I didn't do this."

Simpson clenched his fists and smashed at the table: "Okay, I choose to believe you. I can officially hold a relisting ceremony for the museum this afternoon. So what about you? What about you? What about you next? Do you plan to help me and stop your short selling immediately?"

Zhou Ming shook his head: "The market has been pushed, and it is impossible to stop all of a sudden. Even if I can do ideological work for others, I can't control those followers of the VC, but I can find ways to reduce some losses for you from the other side."

"What's the solution?" Simpson asked.

"You can sell the Simpson Building in Champagne City while the current market is good. This will not only make up for some of your losses, but also sell the funds recovered from the building, which is enough for you to redirect the direction."

"But this is still my own money, I can't see you helping me!" Simpson reminded.

"If you want to see my money, it's very simple. You just need to sell me that office building, and I'll be happy to accept it." Zhou Ming said, "But if you want me to inject funds for you for free or anything else, I can only tell you that maybe you should dream."

Caitlin also helped Zhou Ming and said: "Simpson, you have to remember that we didn't mean to believe you, but now we are still willing to believe you and have pointed out a way for you. We have achieved the glory of the Virgin. If you are not satisfied with this, then I think Andre's side is your best choice."

Li Yang and Ye Ning were also saying: "That's right, you're a little too greedy. We can actually not talk to you. Anyway, the news purpose we want has been achieved."

Their words were like hammers, slamming Simpson's chest hard, making him breathless.

Simpson was in a fierce struggle in his heart, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, I agree. When I go back, I will start to relist the museum immediately, and invite all Slanese media to come and interview. I hope that after the listing is over, we can sign the transaction contract for the Simpson Building immediately. I hope that the price you offer will not disappoint me."

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "There is no problem with the price, but I have another question, which is about the museum's naming. What name are you going to change?"

"It is the naming right you bought. Do you have any time to get the Caitlin Museum? Or do you have other requirements, but please be honest. After all, this museum is also a very important place in Slan City. If you want a name that is too excessive, it may cause the government to request a timely change of name." Simpson reminded.

"Don't worry, I don't have any special naming habits." Zhou Ming said, "What if it was replaced by the Juan Museum?"
