The Black Card

Chapter 895 How to Get to Know the Mayor of London

Finally, Shi Lei reached an agreement with the damn scepter, which is why Shi Lei told Yao Keji that he had something else to do.

After the final bargaining, the one-week time was reduced to three days. Next, Shi Lei only needed to think about how to get the mayor of London to gather all the collections of the Scola family in one place and allow him to view them for three days.

This is obviously not an easy thing to do.

Therefore, although Shi Lei is ready to work hard for this, he must also make preparations for both situations. If the task cannot be completed, at least Yao Keji may be able to find some clues.

On the way to London, Shi Lei was still constantly complaining about the damn scepter in his heart.

The so-called two-stage task, in fact, if you think about it carefully, can't be done in parallel.

If you want to complete the so-called side task, that is, to buy the Monet painting in Scola's hand, regardless of whether the other party is willing to buy it, Shi Lei's proposal to view all the artworks on the list given by the other family for three days will undoubtedly make the other party extremely alert.

If you want to complete the entire task, if you complete it, the side quest will seem meaningless.

If you fail to complete it, the second best option is to buy the Monet painting, which seems to be a good choice, but the other party will definitely think that Shi Lei's original and only purpose is actually the Monet painting.

Money is a consumer product for such a family, not a necessity. They don't need to sell their collections in exchange for money. Therefore, if the other party is likely to sell the painting to Shi Lei, it is nothing more than other considerations.

After experiencing this series of things, the other party will definitely think that Shi Lei must have known the unknown secrets in Monet's painting. The request to buy the painting is simply a trick, and the possibility of agreeing is almost zero.

Therefore, this so-called side quest and the complete task seem to have no effect on each other, but in fact, Shi Lei can only choose one.

It is for this reason that Shi Lei did not give up asking Yao Keji to help investigate. Regardless of whether the task here is completed, Yao Keji is not doing useless work.

If the task cannot be completed, but Yao Keji has the results of the investigation, then it will be a great merit.

Going forward together and giving yourself more options will never go wrong.

More importantly, if Yao Keji finds the results of the investigation and the results can satisfy Shi Lei, then whether to work hard to complete the task given by the black card depends entirely on Shi Lei's personal intention.

After the plane arrived in London, Shi Lei found a hotel near the Thames and checked in.

After he entered the room, he first calculated the remaining amount of his credit cycle.

After getting the 100 million credit, he first paid 5 million to Wei Qing, which was the final balance of Wu Dong's villa.

Then 30 million was given to Ding Yu, which was the consumption of non-income-type investment.

20 million was used to pay the down payment for buying a house in the imperial capital, which was the consumption of the city copy.

Bought a car for Wei Xingyue, plus miscellaneous consumption, and his expenses in Hong Kong Island and other places, the total consumption was less than 5 million.

Added together, it is about 60 million.

With 10 million reserved, Shi Lei believed that Yu Banzhi would be able to help him get a watch worth nearly 10 million, which could be used as a collection.

Later, Shi Lei chartered the island for 15 days, 620,000 per day, and spent a total of 9.3 million.

A chartered flight cost 400,000, and Shi Lei used it seven times in these 15 days, totaling 2.8 million.

Finally, in order to find the whereabouts of the ferryman, Shi Lei took out 1.5 million from his credit and paid it to the Eye of Dark Night.

In this credit cycle, if Shi Lei did not consider the 10 million collection consumption, he would still have 16 or 17 million credits left to spend.

This credit cycle is a total of three months, and half of the time has passed. With one and a half months left, Shi Lei must complete the consumption of 16 or 17 million.

After calculating the credit in his hand, Shi Lei roughly recalled that there was basically no mistake.

Now, he no longer needs to use a pen to record his spending. With his current memory, he can even recall every penny he spent as long as he wants. The saying that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen does not apply to him.

16 or 17 million seems to be a lot, but in fact it is not much. After all, Shi Lei can just change a car to solve the 16 or 17 million.

The previous Maserati President, even if calculated at the original price, Shi Lei can buy another 20 million car to spend all the consumption in this credit cycle.

It is not even enough.

So, this is not a big deal.

Especially now that he has come to London, he needs to deal with the mayor of London, and the expenses here will never be small.

However, Shi Lei needs to pay special attention. After all, only when the intimacy with a person reaches 60 points can he invite him to eat and drink together. Otherwise, those expenses will be recorded on his personal bill and repaid with his own funds.

The purpose of Shi Lei's trip was to get what he wanted from the mayor of London, so his first task was to make friends with the mayor of London. The intimacy level had to be above 60 points, or even higher. Otherwise, how could he ask for permission to see all the artworks of his family?

How to get to know the mayor of London? This was really a problem.

Shi Lei certainly couldn't think of any good solution. It was a good idea to let Yao Keji introduce him. Even if Yao Keji had never dealt with the mayor of London, he would have dealt with someone in their family.

But if Yao Keji really introduced him, it would inevitably seem much more formal. When the other party saw that Shi Lei was so young, he would definitely be wary of Shi Lei from the beginning. No matter how big or small this wariness was, it might affect Shi Lei's ultimate goal.

It must be to get to know the other party in a natural way without leaving any traces, or to get to know someone in the other party's family, and then appear on the right occasion to climb up the line of the mayor of London.

After thinking hard for a long time, Shi Lei decided to put it aside for the time being. Since the black card has issued this task, according to past experience, it will have some impact on Shi Lei's itinerary from a macro perspective. Now the problem that Shi Lei can't solve after thinking hard may be solved by going out for a casual stroll. The black card always has this ability to let Shi Lei get to know the mayor of London in a way that he himself could not expect.

First, he called Wei Bodhi. Shi Lei said that he was in London and hoped to meet Wei Bodhi.

Since the conversation with the ferryman that night, Shi Lei knew that the headquarters of the Dark Night Eye was most likely located in the UK, and it should be in London.

Wei Bodhi was very surprised. She said, "Why did you come to London? Do you know...?" She didn't say the rest, but the meaning was very clear. Wei Bodhi felt that Shi Lei might have known the location of the Dark Night Eye headquarters.

"I'm not sure. The ferryman seemed to mean that your headquarters is in London, but when you said this today, I was completely sure."

"Why did you come to our headquarters?" Wei Bodhi was still a little nervous. After all, she also had a certain responsibility to let Shi Lei know about this.

"Don't worry, I came to London for another purpose, and I just came to you by the way." Shi Lei said.
