Chapter 160 Heroes come out of youth
Chapter 160 Heroes come out of youth
We have to rescue an entire family, which makes the rescue much more difficult.
But think about it the other way around, if you drive one sheep, you're going to have to drive a flock of sheep away. Anyway, it's already like this, so one or two more won't make a difference.
"How many of you need to leave together."
The little prince thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "About ten people."
Okay, there's not much difference between three, four, ten or eight.
Gao Yi said again: "The number of people is not the problem. Do you have a suitable country to seek refuge in?"
The little prince shook his head. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to England. My father bought a building there. France, Spain, and Italy are also fine. They have castles. The United States is also fine. There is a manor farm. My father prefers to buy houses. Austria and Switzerland are also fine, but they are not suitable for long-term living. I don't like them very much."
The Haled family can no longer be measured by the concept of wealthy people, they must adjust to become extremely wealthy.
Gao Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Which country can give you asylum?"
"Europe and the United States are both fine...right?"
Gao Yi shook his head and said, "Then can you still keep your property? That is, after you arrive at the country you want to go to, are you sure that the real estate and other things can remain in your name?"
The little prince looked at his mother and whispered something. Gao Yi couldn't understand. The eldest lady thought for a moment, finally nodded, and said in English: "The overseas properties should be able to stay, but the funds have been frozen. We can't take our money. The money in the overseas account has been transferred away. There won't be much left. If we leave here, we will have nothing."
The little prince said, "If we stay, we will lose everything. We can't even keep the house we live in now. Mom, Prince Shaman may not rob us, but others will definitely not let us go."
Gao Yi didn't want to get involved in the argument between mother and son, so he continued, "Then you can keep most of the properties in Europe, and even your private jet. If you sell all of these, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain your wealthy lifestyle."
I couldn't see the eldest lady's face, but I could hear her sighs.
They will live a poor life in the future, although the poor life they think is still something Gao Yi dare not even imagine.
Gao Yi suddenly found it quite ridiculous.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. You only have a net worth of tens of millions, but now you start to worry about how others who only have a net worth of a few hundred million dollars are going to live.
It's really funny.
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "Okay, I roughly know how you should get through this. Now I have an idea, which is to prepare your private plane for takeoff. Even if there is no takeoff permission, at least it should be fully fueled, inspected, and have a complete crew. Can this be done?"
The eldest lady whispered, "If we act like we're going to flee, it won't attract too much attention. There are many private jets trying to flee right now, but we definitely can't take our wealth with us."
"Don't think about property issues now, it's better to just consider personal safety issues."
The eldest lady raised her head slightly and whispered, "We can apply for flights to Europe or the United States, but once we get there, we don't have to worry about being sent back to the country. Right now, the only country that can do that is the United States. My brother has investments in the United States. I can't guarantee other countries."
"No, my uncle won't help us. He will only try to send us back to Prince Shaman. Mom, it's unrealistic for you to pin your hopes on my uncle because all of my uncles' businesses are here and no one dares to offend Shaman."
Although the little prince was young, he knew what was going on better than his mother.
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "If you go to the United States, I can, well, maybe buy you a new identity, and you can live in the United States with the new identity, but it costs money."
Finally, the topic of money came up. The eldest lady immediately asked in a questioning tone, "How much? It depends on whether we can still afford it."
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "I don't know how much it will cost, but it shouldn't be a lot."
The eldest lady said coldly, "The most we can take out is less than one million US dollars in cash. This is the spare change my husband left at home. I told you, our account has been frozen, and there is no way to take out more money."
It was a change of less than one million US dollars. Without the ten thousand, it would be correct to say that it was change. But with the ten thousand added, Gao Yi always felt that it sounded awkward.
"You don't have to worry about the money. I have it, at least enough to buy you a new identity." I don't know if 20 million is enough, but it should be enough. After all, the United States and Saudi Arabia have different definitions of big money, and the people in the Red and Blue Group will not take one million dollars as change.
The eldest lady was a little surprised, the little prince was very grateful, but Gao Yi said seriously: "Now I need information about Shaman. Also, if you invite Shaman to meet in your name, whether it is for negotiation or surrender, is it possible for him to meet you?"
The eldest lady shook her head and whispered, "That's impossible. He doesn't need to see us because he can get everything he wants on his own."
The little prince suddenly said, "No, mother, you are wrong. Prince Shaman will definitely meet us and agree to let us meet my father and persuade him, because there is a difference between having my father's property taken away and offering it voluntarily. Prince Shaman took it himself, which was plundering, while my father voluntarily offered it to me, which was voluntarily serving or currying favor with the powerful. The political meaning is completely different."
Gao Yi, the butler and the eldest lady all looked at the little prince in surprise.
Regardless of others, Gao Yi's own feeling is that up to now, this young man who just turned fourteen is the most clear-headed and insightful person he has ever met in the Haled family.
He didn't dare to speak fluently, but at least he could use an idiom in every sentence. Anyway, Gao Yi felt that he couldn't use it.
A person who can't even appreciate flattery dare not compare himself with others.
The little prince looked at Gao Yi and said seriously, "If I tell Prince Shaman that we are willing to persuade my father to take the lead and voluntarily give away 90% of his assets and transfer 90% of the company's shares to Prince Shaman, then Prince Shaman will definitely be willing to give my father, who has strayed and come back to the right path, a chance."
“Okay, very good!”
Gao Yi was slightly excited.
The little prince said seriously, "My father is the leader in opposing Prince Shaman. My father's royal status, company size, assets, and connections are second to none among Prince Shaman's opponents. If my father turns to the light, Prince Shaman must welcome him with open arms. I believe that even if he is willing to sacrifice a lot of money, he will give my father a chance. Even more, our family can keep half of the assets, because Prince Shaman's goal is to get at least half of the assets from these people."
The butler couldn't understand, and neither could the eldest lady, because Gao Yi and the little prince's conversation was purely in Chinese.
Gao Yi was shocked and puzzled. He said to the little prince, "You see it so clearly, why don't you persuade your father to surrender... I mean, let him compromise with Prince Shaman. Then we won't have to rescue him."
The little prince shook his head helplessly and whispered, "The company is not my father's company alone, and the matter is not my father's matter alone. If my father refuses to compromise, Prince Shaman will kill him, but if my father compromises, those who oppose Prince Shaman will not let him go. This is a political struggle, and the two sides are at loggerheads. My father did not recognize the situation and thought that their faction could save him, but Prince Shaman's situation is already determined, and I am the fish on the chopping board. My father's mistake was that he did not recognize the situation and became the first to stand out. Both sides regarded him as a symbolic figure. There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and he is in a dilemma."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "I understand. Your father has been unable to contact the outside world since he was arrested. He has no idea what the outside world is like right now."
The little prince nodded and said in a deep voice: "So, if my mother and I ask to see my father, it should be possible. Prince Shaman needs my father to change his attitude. If I ask to see Prince Shaman first and reach a compromise with him, I think Prince Shaman will not refuse."
"Heroes emerge from youth."
Gao Yi said something inexplicably, which was his true feelings. He did not ask when to contact Shaman, nor how to meet Shaman, but asked the little prince: "Excuse me, who taught you Chinese?"
"My family's Chinese teacher is Professor Qin. I started learning Chinese in 06 and started systematically studying Chinese with Professor Qin in 10. I won the championship of the student group in the Abu Dhabi Confucius Institute Chinese Bridge Competition twice in 14 and 15, and won the championship of the college student group in the Chinese Bridge Competition last year."
A hint of pride emerged on the little prince's face, and then he nodded slightly and said, "My name is Muhan Abdullah Alsha, and my Chinese name is Mu Tianwen, a name I gave myself."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "What a good name."
Mu Tianwen said seriously, "I have discussed my family's affairs with my teacher for a long time. He explained many things to me. His advice to me was to seek refuge abroad and stay away from the center of the vortex. But my teacher and I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to try to rescue my father. So, I think my father might really be saved."
Gao Yi sighed and said, "You can really take the postgraduate entrance examination. Well, then, you should arrange the plane first and get ready to take off. Then call and invite Shaman to meet. I will go when the meeting comes, and you, you take your mother and other people who are leaving to wait on the plane. If it succeeds, your whole family will reunite and leave directly. If it fails, I will try my best not to let you be implicated."
Gao Yi tried his best, but the risk had to be borne by Mu Tianwen and his family. There was no other way.
If you want to have a living father, you always have to take some risks and costs.
Mu Tianwen nodded, then he bowed to Gao Yi and said, "Mr. Gao Yi, I'll leave everything to you."
Mu Tianwen’s teacher was definitely a scholar with a strong sense of classical idealism, definitely, absolutely.
Gao Yi calmly accepted Mu Tianwen's bow and said seriously, "I will do my best."
