Chapter 872 (1/2)
”Time flies.” The banquet hall of dream castle is full of guests.
From the beginning, only a few dozen people attended the dinner party, but now it's hard to get a ticket. An invitation card is worth nearly 10000 dollars on the black market.
The Christmas dinner at Neverland castle has become one of the top social events in America every year.
Usually only in newspapers and radio can ”see” the big people, one by one appear here.
”If a stone falls down now, do you think it will hit millionaires or multimillionaires?” Standing in the hallway on the second floor, Jonathan asked with some boredom.
”I think it's more accurate to be a billionaire.” Li pointed to Paul Mellon, who waved to the two people down the corridor.
”I think it's better to put away the stones.” Jonathan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and threw away the ”stone” rolled up from his dinner cloth
Although the Astor family and the Mellon family belong to the top rich families, they are not very familiar with each other.
Besides, Paul was much older than they were, and it was a bit rude to play such a joke on each other.
”It's really hard to be a decision maker.” Jonathan said a little lost.
Since becoming Astor V, he is no longer the former Jonathan, whether at home or outside, every word and action must be paid attention to.
It's only in front of Lawrence and Charlie that they can relax a little, which makes their relationship stronger and stronger.
”Charlie, you're here.” They were looking at the people below, and Marshall came from behind.
”It's too busy today. I need to find a place to have a drink.” Li said, holding up the vodka in his glass.
”Give me one too. I'm fed up with these mouthwashes.” Give the champagne to the waiter, who will quickly change to vodka for Marshall.
”Did you hear that?” Marshall asked, leaning over the railing.
”What?” Li Zitao didn't respond for a moment. What did you hear?
”The fleet that bombed Japan was found by patrol boats. The Astor was seriously damaged and could not return safely.
we had to choose to bomb it in the deep sea because it could never fall into the hands of the Japanese... That was a shame.”
In the last two words, Michelle snuffled and growled in her voice, her chest bulging as if to represent his anger.
The loss of the Astor would have been like a cut in the heart for the military.
That's what they paid for real money, which they just got from Mobil, and according to the agreement between the two sides.
Once damaged during the war, Washington will pay for it and pay a large amount of compensation.
”It's a sad story.” Li Zitao said with a smile.
”Come on Michelle pointed at him without anger and said with a smile, ”can't you just perfunctory?”
Li Zitao's expression could not show the meaning of ”Sadness”.
”All right.” ”I hope the compensation from Washington will be in place as soon as possible,” Li said in a stern tone
”You bastard.” Michelle raised her fist and hammered him on the shoulder.
This is not the answer he wanted, but the reason why he came to Li Zitao on his own initiative.
It's been a tough time in Washington!
It's not to get rid of it, and they won't.
