Chapter 1139

"Yes!" Zhou Andong picked up the fried egg Jian Qiu had placed in front of him: "I'll be returning to the mainland in a few days; before I leave, I need to arrange some things."

"He Zhiyong!" Zhou Chaozhong said: "This person is one of the top ten lawyers in Xiangjiang; I have interviewed him, so I'm quite familiar with him."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong nodded: "After I finish eating, we'll go see him."

"I'll give him a call first and make an appointment." Zhou Chaozhong got up and left, his face glowing.

Zhou Andong keeping his promise to hire a lawyer to sue the British government—once this news was reported, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

Most importantly, Zhou Andong only invited him; this was exclusive news, and his bonus this month would definitely double.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu finished eating before Zhou Chaozhong returned.

"He went to Aomen and was originally not coming back until the day after tomorrow. But when he heard it was you who wanted to see him, he set off to come back immediately; he should arrive at the law firm around noon."

"That's fine!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll go to the company to take a look first; tell me the address of the law firm, and we'll meet there."

"Kaijie Law Firm, it's very famous in Xiangjiang." Then, Zhou Chaozhong opened his briefcase and found a business card inside: "This is He Zhiyong's business card; the address is on it."

Jian Qiu took the business card: "Thank you!"

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong said, and the group walked out.

After leaving the hotel, Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu got into the car, then opened the window and waved to Zhou Chaozhong: "See you at noon."

Zhou Chaozhong also waved, watching Zhou Andong's car drive away before getting into a Mazda RX7 on the side of the road.

At Qiudongfang, as soon as Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu walked into the company, they saw Comrade Old Wu sitting leisurely on the sofa in the lounge, drinking tea.

"Old Wu, you seem to be in a good mood."

Seeing Zhou Andong, Wu Hongkang's spirits lifted: "Do you know how much money we've made?"

Zhou Andong asked strangely: "Didn't we say yesterday that we could make seven to eight hundred million?"

"No, no, no!" Wu Hongkang shook his head vigorously, the smile on his face never disappearing: "Today, the price of raw sugar has fallen below fifty pounds per ton. President Yuan said our earnings could exceed one billion.

And, Sugar King Guo called and said we can't let raw sugar fall any further. So, Wall Street will release good news tomorrow to let raw sugar return to a normal price range."

"Damn!" Zhou Andong cursed: "These capitalists are really black-hearted enough; they fleece the sheep back and forth until they've fucking fleeced the sheep bald."

Wu Hongkang's face was flushed with excitement: "Our short positions have been closed, and we are building long positions."

Zhou Andong chuckled: "Capitalists are black-hearted, but I like it."

"I like it too."

Wu Hongkang and Zhou Andong looked at each other, and the two smiled tacitly.

The normal price of raw sugar is between 100 and 120 pounds per ton; now the price has fallen below fifty pounds.

If they invest the principal and profits again to go long, they can earn at least another 300 to 400 million.

At this time, Yuan Wanqi came out and asked strangely: "Aren't you going to see the lawyer?"

Jian Qiu said: "The lawyer we are going to see is named He Zhiyong; he is in Aomen and won't be back until noon."

"He Zhiyong!" Yuan Wanqi nodded: "This person is very famous; he is one of the top ten lawyers in Xiangjiang."

Zhou Andong asked: "How are the futures?"

Yuan Wanqi smiled: "For this long position, Alice said we should add double leverage."

Because the futures market is very risky, for the sake of safety, they hadn't added leverage before.

But this time is different; the price of raw sugar has already hit the bottom, so the risk of adding leverage for this bottom-fishing isn't high.

"You guys decide."

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu stayed at the company until past eleven, then left after having lunch with Yuan Wanqi and Wu Hongkang.

At Kaijie Law Firm, when Zhou Andong arrived, Zhou Chaozhong was already waiting downstairs.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man, about the same height as Zhou Andong, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Dressed in a crisp suit, his hair meticulously groomed, he was He Zhiyong, the owner of Kaijie Law Firm.

Seeing Zhou Andong get out of the car, he reacted faster than Zhou Chaozhong, walking over in a few steps and extending his hand from afar.

"Mr. Zhou, I've long admired your name."

Zhou Andong shook hands with He Zhiyong: "Lawyer He, I've also long admired your name."

"You flatter me."

He Zhiyong said words of self-deprecation, but his tone wasn't self-deprecating at all.

As a lawyer, especially a Xiangjiang lawyer, his status is very high.

Especially in front of clients, he would absolutely not be humble.

Because his fame was won in battle after battle.

But facing Zhou Andong, He Zhiyong still showed a little humility.

"Lawyer He!" Zhou Chaozhong introduced Jian Qiu: "This is Mrs. Zhou."

"Hello, Mrs. Zhou!"

"Hello, Lawyer He!"

Jian Qiu shook hands with He Zhiyong.

"Let's go, let's go inside and talk." He Zhiyong invited Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu into the law firm.

Zhou Chaozhong started taking pictures with his camera, and when they arrived at the reception room, he took out a voice recorder and placed it on the table.

At this time, a woman in a black uniform came in and poured tea for everyone.

After the woman went out, He Zhiyong got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhou, I admire your character, especially regarding the righteousness of the nation; it makes me admire you even more.

But you must know that suing the British government to return national treasures that were once plundered has a very low chance of success."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Of course I know the chance of getting them back is low, but as a Chinese person, there are some things I must do. Even if I know it's impossible to succeed, I must still forge ahead."

The expression on He Zhiyong's face suddenly became serious, and his eyes revealed a look of admiration.

"Since Mr. Zhou knows the difficulties involved and still persists, I, He, will definitely do my best."

They talked for a long time, and by the time they signed the agency contract and came out, it was already past two in the afternoon.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Andong asked Jian Qiu: "You have Hua Zai's business card on you, right?"

"Yes!" Jian Qiu nodded.

Zhou Andong said: "When we get to the hotel, give him a call and ask if he has time. If he does, we'll go out for a drink; if not, forget it."

………………

The Jinggang Hotel is located in the center of Kowloon, near Nathan Road.

The film crew of "Heaven and Earth" had just returned from filming in the mainland and were celebrating the wrap-up.

Hua Zai was dealing with friends and colleagues coming to toast him, thinking it was a pity he didn't have a chance to see Zhou Andong while filming in the mainland this time.

Just as he clinked glasses with Liu Songren and drank a glass of wine, his manager walked over and whispered something in his ear.

Hua Zai's eyes lit up, and he nodded with some excitement: "Okay, I know, I'll go over tonight."
