Chapter 620 First Step (2/2)

After another hour, Li Du finally understood the exact contents of the transfer shares' ownership contract.

As there was a huge variety of beautiful jewelry at the Harry Winston jewelry shop, where every piece had a unique design concept and culture associated with them, Sophie didn't find looking at the jewelry boring even though she spent half an hour shopping downstairs.

Having no issue with the transfer contract, Li Du, Tedrick, Bauer, Tedrick's lawyer, and Roger all signed it. With that, the contract took effect.

Afterward, a Wells Fargo's manager also signed the contract. Li Du transferred 11,200,000 dollars into the bank's account, which was considered the third party. The sum of money would only be transferred over to Tedrick's account after the ownership of the shares had been completely transferred.

As the transaction went very smoothly, all parties were very satisfied.

Tedrick shook Li Du's hand and said, ”Thank you, young man, thanks for being willing to take over the shares. This is my retirement money, and it's time I retire.”

Roger smiled. ”Mr. Tedrick, you might regret this after a period of time. Taking into account the situation of Harry Winston, the price is really too low.”

This was true and Li Du already understood this. During the period when Harry Winston flourished, its market value had risen to 2,500,000,000 dollars and 20,000,000 USD was required to buy 0.008 shares.

Compared to the booming period, the value of Tedrick's shares had decreased by nearly half.

Having sold his shares, the old man was in a great mood and smiled. ”Maybe. But I won't regret it, as what I need the most now is to retire.”

”Where do you plan to go for your retirement?” Li Du curiously asked.

”New Zealand,” the old man replied. ”I bought a house in a small town on the South Island of New Zealand. It's very beautiful and the people there are also very friendly. I think I'll spend the remainder of my life there.”

”Wishing you a happy retirement.” Li Du shook his hand again.

The transaction between them was considered concluded. Subsequently, he began settling the payment with Bauer.

Bauer smiled. ”No, Mr. Li, I won't accept your payment this time around as I did not find any loopholes. Moreover, you are Akkalou's good friend. I am providing you a free service this time.”

Li Du was shocked. ”We're good?”

Bauer replied, ”This is, of course, not for nothing. I believe that you are also interested in Harry Winston's shares? You are not only buying so few, right?”

Li Du nodded. ”Yes, I want to try and procure a portion of them.”

Bauer said, ”Everything in regards to buying Harry Winston's shares I will do for free so you can experience my service. If you feel that my service is good, I hope that I can become your private lawyer.”

Adopting a long-term plan to secure something big was the practice of America's lawyers.

Li Du, who was young, was able to freely take out more than ten million dollars to procure the shares of a company in a precarious situation. Be it his courage or financial capability, they were all very shocking. In addition, he was also the friend of Playboy.

After hearing Bauer's words, Li Du considered this for a few seconds and said, ”Alright, it is decided then.”

As Tedrick and his lawyer had left, only Roger and Bauer were left in the office. With that, Li Du had no qualms opening up the box and saying, ”I have two paintings I would like to sell. I'm not sure if Director Roger could help out.”

Looking at the paintings inside the box and the exaggerated signature of Van Gogh on it, Roger was astounded. ”Gosh, is this the authentic work of Van Gogh?”

Li Du confidently waved his hands and said, ”You can verify it however you like.”
