Chapter 357 [Is the Gap Between the Nouveau Riche and the Aristocracy Really that Big? Part 2]

After the first reason was said, Belsinger was speechless. Although what they said was not pleasant, it clearly told you that your status was not high enough. If I were to accept you as my client, what would my original clients from the royal families and nobles of various countries think?

They would feel insulted, comparing the business of us nobles and royal family members with a long-standing tradition with an Indian nouveau riche. That would make people laugh. Are you really so short of money as a lawyer? You are actually associated with nouveau riche, then what are we nobles and royal family members?

Another blow to Belsinger's head made him fascinated and his soul left his body. The first reason almost deafened his ears. The reason was too sufficient. This was a fact that he could not change. Yes, he was an Indian nouveau riche, and an Indian nouveau riche.

How could he be compared with those royal families and nobles of various countries with a long history of hundreds of years? His status was not at the same level at all. Belsinger's face was burning with pain. This was a slap in the face, telling you clearly that your status was not up to par.

Even my lowest-ranking client was far behind, how could I be your family lawyer? Isn't this a loss of self-worth? Belsinger had never been insulted like this face-to-face since his debut. How could he not feel uncomfortable? How could he not blush?

But Belsinger should maintain a gentlemanly style, at least not let the other party, a lawyer who looked down on him, lose his self-worth. So he just smiled awkwardly, and then asked seriously.

"This is one reason. I admit that I am not as high-ranking as those clients in your hands. This is a flaw of our family. Then what about the second and third reasons?"

David Brown saw that although Belsinger was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and his head was smoking, he still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. In his heart, he had a higher opinion of Belsinger, but no matter how high he looked at him, he could not lower his self-worth and serve this upstart. David Brown wanted to make Bel Singh give up, so he smiled and said the second reason.

"The second reason is simpler. You can't afford to hire me as the Singh family's private lawyer. Although you have many industries in India, my fee is $3 million per year, which you can't afford."

This reason means that you don't have so much assets to hire me as your family lawyer, and you can't afford my legal fees. $3 million per year is 1/10 of your Singh family's total assets. I have earned all your family's assets in ten years of work. You have become paupers, and I have become a master. Can you afford it?

Bel Singh did not object to this point, if there were no large amounts of gold artworks being sold. The Singh family could never afford David Brown's legal fees, which would cost $3 million a year, equivalent to 1/10 of the family's assets. It seems that the other party is an outstanding lawyer.

But it is impossible to collect all the information of the Singh family in one afternoon and one night. This David Brown doesn't know that he is the mysterious seller who has turned the entire auction world in London and Europe into a whirlpool.

If the other party knew that he was the behind-the-scenes seller of Christie's Sotheby's, his daily income would reach more than 300 million US dollars. He would not say that he could not afford to hire him. No matter how strong the other party is, he has weaknesses.

But time is tight and it is impossible to check all his information. This is understandable. The other party has clearly refused his solicitation. If you say it, your actual income will be useless. No matter how rich you are, you are still a nouveau riche and people look down on you.

This is not a matter of money, but a matter of social status. Who makes you low in status? Belsinger didn't say much but just smiled and nodded. Admitting that the other party was right, David Brown smiled and said the third reason, which was also a reason for Belsinger to refuse solicitation that he could not deny, that is.

"The third reason is very simple. I don't want to leave the UK, the land where I was born and raised. My family is in the UK, and my family is also in the UK. All my connections are also in the UK. If I follow your Singh family to India, my ability will be reduced to about 60%. If my ability is reduced to 60%, what value will you have in hiring me?"

Is this reason strong enough? All my connections are in the UK. What can I do if I go to India? I am completely in the dark. What problems can I help your Singh family solve? I don't even have the ability to protect myself, let alone solve problems with your family. That's simply a fantasy.

What the other party said is an indisputable fact. Their connections are in the UK and on the European continent. What can they do to help you by going to India with you? This reason does not deliberately belittle the ability of the Singh family, but it is a fact! There is no way to refute the fact. Bel Singer can only smile bitterly and admit that the other party's reason is valid.

Seeing that Bel Singer could not refute himself, David Brown felt that the other party's character was still acceptable and had the potential to be a good customer. But the other party's status was too low and did not meet his requirements, so he could not cooperate with him, so he said this with a smile.

"Mr. Singer's tolerance is a standard quality that a person who does great things must have. What I said was so harsh. You can still maintain a gentlemanly state, which surprised me. It is rare for a young man like you to have such smooth edges and corners. To be honest, if you had found me ten years ago, I would definitely serve the Singer family, but now I'm sorry, I can only disappoint you."

The other party admitted that his self-restraint was quite good and met his standards, which comforted Belsinger. But if someone clearly rejected you, it was a death sentence in the other party's heart, and it was useless for him to say anything.

The two sides talked about some more pleasant topics. After talking and laughing for ten minutes, David Brown History stood up and said goodbye, and paid the bill before leaving. This hit Belsinger hard. He walked out of the cafe in a daze, saw the bustling crowd on the street, and felt that he was so lonely.

Now the Singer family has not taken off and has not made any big moves because the family's configuration is incomplete. Only himself and the old butler can play the role of the pillar. The lack of talent is not something that can be overcome by quantity. There is a difference between quality and quantity. It is not easy to find high-quality talents.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

But only difficult things are challenging. If they are easy, there is no sense of accomplishment. Belsinger rubbed his face, picked up his confidence that had fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces, and took a taxi back to the hotel with a smile.

I drank a little wine at noon, and called to contact the two men who were sent out to collect information during the break. The progress of the operation was relatively smooth. The answer I got was not bad. I was hit hard today, but the two men completed the task.
