I am their marshal and they are my soldiers, why should I run?" Napoleon did not choose to escape, but chose to face his opponent with amazing confidence. Soldier.

If Hilton cannot repay the money at this time, he is likely to go to jail. Facing this critical moment, Hilton remained calm and collected a large amount of cash from the bank. When the man arrived, Hilton opened the cash and checks in the drawer and asked him if he would like cash or a check. The man asked for a check, and Hilton said: "If you still want to get your investment back when you leave, then this check will belong to you." Hilton used these words to calm the other person's heart and make him listen to him calmly. Hilton then confidently told him what benefits he would get from the investment in the future. If the investment was withdrawn now, not only would there be no benefits, but he would also have to pay compensation for breach of contract. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?
