On the grassy slope outside Wolong Fort, under the umbrella, Lu Ming saw Liu Laocai's hand holding the juice still shaking, and sighed softly in his heart. He seemed careless, but this experience probably caused a lot of psychological damage to him.
of trauma.
Being locked up in a hut and being fed to dogs, with the possibility of having your head chopped off at any time, it is difficult for people living in a civilized world to imagine the psychological pressure without personal experience.
"Sister-in-law just has to be busy." Lu Ming looked at Ha Shan in the distance, who was busy peeling and squeezing the juice of a local specialty fruit with Papa Ya.
In Wolong Fort, Sanjinpo and Papaya have the lowest status, far inferior to Luo Yiluoer, but Hashan, Mrs. Liu Laocai Zhengyin, is willing to work with the lowest servants to serve people, and, facing
Sanjinpo and Papaya, she also has the mentality of a slave.
After all, Sanjinpo and Papaya, one is the ancestor of a prominent local family; the other is the beloved wife of the head of a prominent local family.
Listening to Lu Ming's words, Liu Laocai smiled bitterly: "How dare she sit with you and chat with you? So, I told her about the wedding. If she didn't agree with it, she could just be fair. Moreover, she didn't
She will follow me back to Donghai, saying that after I return to Donghai, I can write her a letter of divorce if I am willing to do so. If I don’t write a letter of divorce, she will always be here waiting for me. I can come here occasionally to see her."
Gritting his teeth, "I will definitely take her back to the East China Sea! When I return to the East China Sea, I will hold the most grand wedding."
Lu Ming smiled: "This is me, Brother Liu, and I support you."
After thinking for a while, he said: "The next step is the oil field dispute. You have a copy with you. The original land deed is in the safe of Baoyin Bank, right? You may need to bring it over and sign some formal agreements.
when needed.”
Liu Laocai's face began to turn bitter, "Qianxing, this problem will give you a headache from today on. I will give all the oil fields to you. However, I also know that you will definitely not agree, so let's wait for the oil fields."
After we start mining, you can give me 200,000 yuan a year for fifty years. If I leave first, the profits will be given to Ha Shan, okay? I feel that my health is in terrible shape after coming to the Western Regions.
I’m alive... From now on, Ha Shan, please take care of me more..."
Lu Ming was startled for a moment, then said helplessly: "Don't be so pessimistic, you just got released, you just need to recuperate for a few days, and you will be full of energy in no time."
Liu Laocai looked at Lu Ming and his expression became solemn, "Don't talk about the body, just talk about the oil field, Qianxing, I'm serious, I think clearly, what size of head and what size of hat to wear, otherwise, it will be a disaster, I
I can't afford that oil field at all. Even if you help me win the lawsuit this time and get the land rights, all kinds of things will still happen in the future. I can't always ask you to be on call, let alone
, even if you are always available, if something happens to me next time, it will be a question of whether I can still see you."
"Qianxing, among my relatives and friends, you are the only one who can hold this golden bowl securely. If I can eat some meat from your bowl, it is my blessing. Besides, Qianxing, your character is nothing to say.
?If you promise to give me fifty years, you will definitely be able to do it. I really don’t trust others."
As he spoke, Liu Laocai smiled strangely: "Besides, I always feel that this oil field was originally given to you by God, but it was just a pretense of borrowing my hand. It is a reward for the many good deeds you have done. I have done a little
Please take advantage of your good deeds and drink some soup, and if you have too much soup, you will still burn me to death."
Hearing his sincerity, Lu Ming was about to say something, but when he heard the last part, Lu Ming was helpless, "Brother, brother, you are still the cultivator Liu, Liu Guolao..."
"Liu Guolao, who are you?" Liu Laocai's eyes lit up, "Why do I feel that this name suits me so well? I will change my name to this after I return to Donghai!"
Lu Ming waved his hands helplessly, thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. If we can really get the oil field, I will find someone to cooperate in developing it. In the next year, I will give you 70% of the income and 30% will be mine."
Liu Laocai shook his head: "Stop talking about it now. No matter how much you give me, I will keep 200,000 yuan by then, and the rest will still be transferred to your account. You are not afraid that someone will keep an eye on our strange account transactions. You
Just do it like this." Looking at Lu Ming: "I'm only worth two hundred thousand, and in fifty years, that's ten million, and the most I can live with is this. You really want me to burp my butt tomorrow, right?
?”
Lu Ming thought about it and smiled, "We haven't got the oil field yet, so we started fighting and it became funny. There is a joke in my hometown. The head of the person they beat turned into a dog's head. They were taken to the police for questioning, but
It’s because the lottery prizes are unevenly distributed, and the two guys haven’t collected the money to buy them yet. They first discussed how to divide the winnings, and then they started fighting.”
Liu Laocai was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter, "What a wonderful couple..." After laughing for a while, he looked at Lu Ming: "However, I still want to talk to you clearly, let's talk now, you kid, you have such evil ideas.
Duo, I'm afraid I'll fall into your trap later, Qian Xing, just tell me, do you want your brother to live peacefully for a few more years?"
Lu Ming pondered, "Let's do this, two million a year, and I don't have to wait for the oil field development to be on track. I will start paying this year."
Liu Laocai smiled and said: "That one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand a year."
Lu Ming was helpless.
Liu Laocai laughed: "You didn't expect me to bargain like this, did you?"
Lu Ming thought for a while and said seriously: "Five hundred thousand, I will pay from this year, and it is not fifty years. It is best for you and your sister-in-law to have a child, or you designate a bloodline. From now on, my Lu family will
The five hundred thousand will be paid every year, and the payment will be increased based on inflation as appropriate. Unless my descendants fail to live up to expectations and destroy all my family property, then there is no other way."
Liu Laocai waved his hand: "That's not necessary. I understand what you mean by Qianxing, but your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. How can you care so much about future generations? Don't make it so that our descendants will turn against each other in the future. You think I'm right.
Isn’t that right? It’s better to have a time limit, maybe a hundred years. I think Qian Xing, you, will be able to take charge of things in at least a hundred years.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Ming was thinking about it, and just as he was about to speak, Luo Yi came in a hurry, and when he got close, he whispered: "Master, the powerful Lord Luo City is coming this way.
, it’s three miles away.”
Lu Ming smiled, knowing why he came.
He said to Liu Laocai: "Okay, let's talk about the oil field, and the oil field will be there." Then he said: "Fifty thousand, according to Fila Petroleum's profit, which is 2% of the entire oil field, you just don't regret it in the future!
"
Liu Laocai spat on the ground, "Bah, Liu Laocai, Liu Laocai, some people treat you like a pig or a dog and look down on you! Your life has been in vain! Even your best friends treat you as a scoundrel!"
Lu Ming spread his hands, stood up and said, "I'm going to wait to see Zhongquan Luo."
In fact, today's overall economic situation, generally speaking, multiplied by 50-70 US dollars, is almost the same as that of later generations.
Of course, there is still a certain deviation between income and prices.
But in general, this can be roughly done as an intuitive comparison.
According to future generations, Liu Laocai's annual income is about 30 million US dollars, which is quite enough. He continues to cultivate immortality and is happy to be a rich man without any pressure. He has a fixed income and his own brand to back it up. This is what he dreams of.
Live.
As for the Tianhai Desert Oilfield, calculated in this way, the net income is more than one billion US dollars a year. However, due to the limitations of today's technology, there is definitely no daily production volume for future generations, and there is no limit. Therefore, the actual and future annual net profits of this oil field are
A super-large oil field worth US$7 to 8 billion should be about the same.
…
In the reception room on the second floor of Wolong Castle, Zhong Quanluo had a sad look on his face.
Lu Ming said to Luo Yi: "Go and send a telegram to Fila Oil Headquarters in the imperial capital. Regarding the development cooperation of Tianhai Oilfield, we will only discuss it with Rabbi Fila, and no other people will be allowed to discuss it."
Then he smiled and said to Zhongquan Luo: "This old Fila's youngest son, I donated 300,000 yuan to the election campaign!"
The interpreter whispered in Chongquan Luo's ear.
Zhongquanluo's expression changes immediately.
Lu Ming smiled again and said: "The Tianhai Desert has been owned by Bade City for generations. When your grandfather, the city lord, rewarded meritorious ministers, it was originally a desert and of no use. Now, this desert belongs to me.
I also need more support from you, the powerful Lord Luo."
Zhongquan Luo Tingtong was translating, his face even more strange and surprised.
Lu Ming added: "Although there are many territorial disputes between Bate City and Bailu City, the Tianhai Desert has never been among them. It was only after the oil and gas was discovered from Fila Oil that Bailu City suddenly announced that it had sovereignty over the Tianhai Desert, and that it had sovereignty over the Tianhai Desert.
Bar?"
"Since the desert now belongs to me, if he wants to seize my property by force, there is no need to file a lawsuit. It depends on him. Why should I file a lawsuit with you for the land that is not in dispute? If I file a lawsuit, I will
It means that I think this land is disputed, so this is a disadvantage. It is tantamount to taking a step back and letting the other party take a step forward in vain. City Lord Luo, do you think this is the truth?"
Zhongquan Luo said nothing.
Lu Ming added: "To be honest, the territorial dispute between Bate City and Bailu City is the basis for the patriotic enthusiasm and sense of honor of the lords and serfs."
"If this is the case in a disputed land, if there are people from Bade City in the undisputed land of Tianhai Desert, they will violate the teachings of their ancestors and the will of all the people of the Bade City-state and admit that it belongs to Bailu City."
Lu Ming shook his head, "If the news spreads, this person will probably be beaten to a pulp by the angry crowd! No matter what his identity is."
"Lawyer Lu, I think you may have misunderstood. Tianhai Desert belongs to this city-state. There is no dispute about this." Zhongquan Luo finally straightened his body.
Lu Ming smiled slightly: "It's good to be able to reach a consensus with the city lord on this point."
He added: "When I and the young master of Fila Petroleum have negotiated the cooperative development matters, we will also set up a fund and allocate about 50,000 yuan every year to support the construction of Bate City. What's more, our other related matters, including our Beijing
The scale of cooperation with the business community and Bate City will become larger and larger. The powerful Lord Luo, you should have great confidence in the future of Bate City!"
Zhongquan Luo smiled bitterly and thought for a while, "Mayor Lu, since I'm here, I won't hide it from you. The trial the day before yesterday caused a big trouble."
Lu Ming nodded: "I know, someone has informed me. The media in the imperial capital has gone crazy, right?" He said with a smile.
Richard and his party, even now, have just arrived in Nicolo, which is still far away from the imperial capital. But yesterday, the largest newspapers in the imperial capital reported the case of Liu Laocai's murder. The crowd was so excited that he became a
A disgrace to the legal profession, it was fiercely criticized.
As for a barbaric place like Bate City-State, many media outlets unanimously agreed that it was a cancer of the empire and should be expelled from the empire's jurisdiction.
Zhongquan Luo sighed: "Mayor Lu, you only know one thing. My uncle who was in Nicolo City this morning is the alliance member representing this city. He..." It seems that Lu Mingcai wants to explain his identity.
clear.
Lu Ming nodded: "Member of the Alliance, I understand, you continue."
The Western Free City-State Alliance Parliament consists of hundreds of city-states regardless of size, each city-state is represented by one member. The parliament is based in Nicolo.
Zhongquan Luo shook his head and said: "He called me this morning and said that he has been banned from participating in all activities of the parliament. It seems that the alliance parliament is going to pass a resolution to expel Bate City from the city-state alliance and remove us from being a member of the alliance.
..." Chongquan Luo's face turned paler as he spoke.
It's no wonder that if Bate City is really expelled from the alliance, it may be wiped out in an instant.
Although Bailu City was powerful in the past, Bate City had allies and a city-state alliance council. Although it was not very useful, they could still fight and talk, and Bailu City did not dare to do anything.
Moreover, some larger city-states in other regions do not want Bailu City to grow bigger and will always act as a check and balance.
But once Bate City is expelled from the alliance, the allies will no longer help, Bailu City soldiers will press on the border, and no one will even care about direct genocide.
Zhongquan Luo was only in his thirties, and he had just taken over as the city lord. At this time, he had no master, and he did not have the calmness that a leader of a country should have.
Looking at Lu Ming, his face was full of despair, "Mayor Lu, can you help me, help us Bate people?"
Sighing, "It's not just the customs of this city-state..."
This bad habit also exists in Bailu City, and is more serious. However, external public opinion is aimed at Bate City.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "You can't think like that. When dealing with public opinion, the most taboo thing is to show off and say that we are not good and there are people even worse than us. That will only attract more fierce criticism."
He added: "Moreover, this time the public opinion is fierce, it is not just against you, Bate City. In fact, it is also directed at me. Now you and I are grasshoppers on the same line."
Chong Quanluo's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Ming, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Then you..."
Lu Ming nodded: "As soon as possible, convene the city-state council and let's discuss it."
Zhongquan Luo nodded repeatedly and said: "Now I will summon the three flag council members, Mayor Lu. Before the council is convened, I will grant you the title of hurricane council member. From now on, you will have the same authority as the city lord in this city. Moreover, as long as you
During your stay in this city-state, if there are court matters, you are the supreme judge."
Probably, this was planned on the way here, and the crisis of destroying the city was bound to be tightly tied to Mayor Lu.
Lu Ming smiled: "This title is a bad omen, as if it will blow everything away."
Zhongquan Luo was stunned, "Then I will grant you the title of 'Unique Monsoon Councilor'. This title, like Hurricane Councilor, can only be enjoyed by you."
