Rebirth of the Flying Era

Edward works in a well-known large law firm in Guiyang. Because he is relatively young, he is currently just an ordinary lawyer, but with his background, he will definitely become a senior partner in the future.

So when Du Fei proposed a 'job', he was not particularly surprised.

Because this is not the first time he has received a similar job. It is simply because of his family's connections and prestige in America's legal community, or because of his status as the son-in-law of the commander-in-chief.

But he didn't know who Du Fei was coming for this time.

Edward didn't lie, and asked Du Fei carefully about the specific situation.

Du Fei didn't mince words, he simply explained the cause and effect.

Edward and Tracy didn't understand it at all.

Although the Zhang family and his son were famous in Huaguo, even elites like Edward had never heard of them in America.

It wasn't until Principal Chang mentioned Zhang's house arrest that the two of them roughly understood what level of person Zhang was.

After Du Fei finished speaking, Edward confirmed: "That is to say, a Jiangjun from your Guo family is currently imprisoned by Principal Chang. His wife is in America and he has a huge family fortune. , but for some reason could not withdraw it from the bank..."

Du Fei nodded: "That's probably the case." He looked at Tracy and said, "Then Ms. Zai asked me to come here. I don't have many connections in America, so I can only ask you two for help."

Although he said this, Edward and Tracy were not stupid. For this kind of thing, Du Fei was not really asking them for help, but giving them money in disguise.

Or give it away reasonably and legally, and it will become their legal income by hiring a lawyer.

The whole thing is not complicated. On the contrary, in Edward's opinion, this fact is too ordinary.

There are similar people in many places around the world who lost their power and troops and came to America with money.

No matter who you are, it is impossible to protect your property completely when you come here.

Whether it is protection fees or certificates of fame, at least half of the money will be used as tribute. The difference is that some are more and some are less.

For people like the Zhang family, who were attacked by a lion and suddenly lost 70% of their income, it was indeed a bit too much, but it was not impossible.

When he entered working mode, Edward's expression was slightly serious, looking like an elite lawyer.

Tracy didn't say much during the whole process, showing off to her husband and looking very decent.

When Du Fei's demands were mentioned, Edward asked: "Du, you know that it is impossible to get all the money. I don't know what your demands are..."

Du Fei said: "I understand the rules, but the appearance of Amerika's meal is too ugly. She has to eat 70% of it in one go. I think this is detrimental to America's reputation and international image. If it can be reduced to 50%, I think It’s an appropriate ratio.”

Du Fei didn't open his mouth to the lion. It was quite interesting to be able to help the lady get 20% more.

What's more, he didn't come here basically for Ms. Yu, but to give Edward and Tracy a big gift by borrowing flowers and offering them to Buddha.

Edward nodded secretly and said thoughtfully: "Du, if this is the case, it should be no problem. In the end, 50% will be given to the lady, 30% will go to Aramco Bank, and the remaining 20% ​​will go to the law firm and half to you. How about it?"

Du Fei smiled and said, "I'm just helping to pull the strings. The remaining 20% ​​belongs to you and Trish."

Edward and Tracy were stunned for a moment, a little incredulous.

You know, this is not a small amount of money, 10% is at least 20 million US dollars. Du Fei doesn't want it and gives it all to them. What does this mean?

This time Trish finally couldn't help but speak: "Du, you will make me and Edward very uneasy."

She was not really afraid of having more money, but she was afraid that it would be hot to hold, especially since her father's side had just experienced a turmoil, and now it was best to calm down and settle down smoothly.

Du Fei smiled and said that he was a matchmaker, and they could directly contact Ms. Yu later on how to do it.

Seeing Du Fei's resolute attitude, Edward and Tracy had no choice but to give up.

As for giving up this opportunity, they were reluctant to do so.

If nothing else, Du Fei really gave me too much.

Once this matter is completed, the law firm will be able to obtain at least 40 million in legal fees, most of which will fall into Edward's hands.

You know, Nico will step down in two years. By then, his power and aura of leadership will disappear, but as children, life must go on.

Although both of them came from wealthy backgrounds, Edward worked in a law firm and his normal annual income was only over $300,000.

For ordinary people, this is definitely a well-paying job, but there are not many in their circles.

Especially at this time, the Nico family and Rockefeller were completely at odds, casting another shadow over Nico after his retirement.

After Du Fei said goodbye, Edward and Tracy personally sent him out of the manor. When he came back, they couldn't hold back their emotions.

Previously, because of Du Fei's presence, they had been raised since childhood to keep their emotions in check. Now, with no outsiders present, they no longer had to control themselves.

Trish jumped for joy, sat down on the soft sofa, and said happily: "Ed, tell me what you think. There should be no problem with this matter, right?"

Edward was also a little excited. Tens of millions of dollars was a huge amount of money for them. Although he had handled it before, he never owned it.

This time it was real money and delivered to them.

But Edward did not get carried away and said calmly: "Tracy, this matter is not simple. We must discuss it with my father-in-law. In addition, my father must also notify."

Trish nodded, that's for sure.

Du Fei gave them this opportunity not because of her and Edward, but because of the family behind them.

This must be clearly distinguished, otherwise bad things will definitely happen.

Even so, Trish couldn't wait and said immediately: "Then I'll call my father now."

Edward reminded: "Don't say that on the phone, call the plane immediately, let's go to All Saints' Tun."

Trish nodded immediately...

On the other hand, Du Fei left the manor and returned to the hotel where he was staying, and was not in a hurry to ask Ms. Yu for credit.

This matter has just come to an end. Edward and Tracy must communicate with the family power behind them and gain approval before they can move forward. Otherwise, no matter how good they say today, it will be useless.

Du Fei had just returned to the hotel and was about to change clothes and take a shower, but at this moment Director Wu came in a hurry.

He knocked on the door, his breathing was a little short, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "It's great that you are back!"

"Old Wu!" Du Fei was shocked and asked what was going on?

Director Wu said: "There was a call just now from a man named McKaykin~"

Du Fei's eyes lit up. He was in China a few days ago and specially asked McCain to return to China for a vacation, just to let him stay in America during this period.

Duffy had long known that McCain had a friend named Joey, a partner at Northrop.

I finally got the call today and immediately asked, "What did the other party say?"

Director Wu said: "Because you were not here, the other party didn't say anything."

Du Fei nodded and immediately contacted him via the phone number left by the other party.

…

A few hours later, in the evening, Du Fei met McCain in a stylishly decorated bar near the hotel, accompanied by Joey.

"Hey, Du Fei!" McCain greeted Du Fei with a smile, and then introduced the people around him: "This is Joey, my good friend and college alumnus."

"Hello, Joey~" Du Fei stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then the three of them sat down in the corner by the window and each ordered a glass of whiskey.

McCain took the initiative to introduce: "Du, Joey is a partner of Northrop..."

In fact, among the three, Duffy and McCain were originally in the same group, but Joey didn't think so.

In his opinion, McKay's Americans were naturally on the same side as him, while Du Fei was a foreign enemy.

And judging from the previous projects to improve the J-8, Huaguo can be said to have a lot of people and a lot of money.

In their view, the so-called project of using advanced technology to improve the J-8 is just a trick to fool people, and there is no advanced technology.

However, Huaguo is willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for these 'junk'. If this isn't the case, what is the point of having too much money?

Little do they know that real hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Du Fei never mentioned fighter jets or anything like that. He just kept praising Northrop Company and Joey himself. He even praised the company's founder John Northrop in passing, as if this trip was just to meet new friends. , chatting by the way.

Joey, on the other hand, felt a little impatient because he didn't feel that Du Fei was interested in their YF-17 project at all.

Several times he tried to change the topic to this aspect, but Du Fei seemed not to understand and did not respond at all.

This made him a little depressed.

This meeting did not last long. It was the first time for everyone to meet and they must test it out.

After leaving the bar, Du Fei returned to the hotel, silently thinking about what happened in the bar just now.

Although the other party was also very calm, it was not difficult to find that Joey was very anxious. Obviously, the failure of this bidding was a heavy blow to Northrop.

Especially at this point in time, there is no support for the naval project and there is pressure from Northrop.

As long as Du Fei shows a little bit of meaning, he will become their life-saving straw.

On the other hand, in a luxury apartment in Manhattan.

Joey looked at John Northrop across the sofa with a serious expression.

After describing the situation of their meeting with Du Fei just now, both of them fell into silence.

Contrary to what they expected, Du Fei took the initiative to stick to them when they showed some intention.

Du Fei doesn't seem to be interested in their fighter project, which is the most terrible thing.

"John, what should we do?" Joey frowned.

John Northrop also frowned, and just opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment, the phone suddenly rang, causing him to swallow his words again. He stood up to answer the phone, and then his face changed, and he shouted: "You said What!"

Then he put down the phone and turned on the TV.

There was already a color TV set at this time. The color of the TV screen was a bit strange, but it did not prevent the blonde beauty inside from reading the latest news at a very fast speed.

Joey was a little strange at first, but now his face turned ugly just like John Northrop.

On the TV, news from a "well-informed" person was being broadcast. The fighter jet project that the Air Force was bidding for had been finalized.

General Motors' YF-16 finally won...

"Damn it!" John Northrop shouted angrily: "What's going on? Why did it leak out!"

Although he knew it in his mind, the matter had not yet been settled in terms of procedures. Logically speaking, it would not be announced until at least the summer.

Announcement now in advance will undoubtedly cause the pressure on them to explode in advance.

At the same time, Du Fei was watching TV in the hotel.

Gently shaking the amber whiskey in his hand, he looked at the blonde beauty on the TV and couldn't help but smile.

The reason why this news appeared was because Du Fei was behind the scenes.

He had to put more pressure on Northrop.

Only under tremendous pressure can these arrogant guys recognize the reality.

Two days later, in the suburbs of Twisting, in an equestrian club.

Duffy and John Northrop were dressed in exquisite equestrian clothes, and each rode a tall horse for a leisurely walk on the green lawn.

It looked like they were just chatting, but in fact the two were talking about a very crucial collaboration.

After the news of the failed bid spread, Northrop's situation instantly became extremely bad.

The first is the stock market. The stock price has fallen by a quarter in just two days. John Northrop has also been criticized by shareholders, so he must find a way to reverse the situation in a short period of time.

Faced with this situation, John Northrop, who originally wanted to fight with Du Fei for a few more rounds, had to appear directly in front of Du Fei.

"Mr. Du, I know that you Huaguo really want to obtain advanced aviation technology." John Northrop still talked with confidence on the surface: "But with all due respect, it is only based on the MiG-21 of Sailian Improving, there's no way to get a good fighter."

Du Fei said meaningfully: "Of course, Mr. Northrop, but we don't seem to have a choice~ If possible, who would be willing to cling to that outdated platform."

John Northrop finally smiled and said, "I wonder if Mr. Du is interested in cooperating with me?"

"Cooperation?" Du Fei said bluntly: "Are you talking about YF-17?"

John Northrop said with a sincere look: "My company has invested too many resources in this project, and there is no way it will be given up like this! Believe me, our design plan is definitely better than the universal one, and those idiots don't understand technology at all." .”

When he finally heard these words, Du Fei's heart beat faster, but he didn't show any emotion on the surface.

He said with a smile: "Of course, there is no doubt about Northrop's strength, but..." At this point, Du Fei became a little more serious: "The technology of Air Force fighter jets is quite sensitive. Are you sure there is no problem with our cooperation? I don't want to invest a lot of money." After receiving the funds, suddenly one day I was told that the cooperation was cancelled.”
