On the grassy **** outside Wolong Fort, under a parasol, Lu Ming saw that Liu Laocai's hand holding the juice was still shaking, and he sighed softly in his heart. He seemed careless, but this experience may have caused him psychological damage. A lot of trauma.
Being locked up in a hut and 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 it happens that Hashan, Mrs. Liu Laocai Zhengyin, is willing to serve people with the lowest servants, and , facing Sanjinpo and Papaya, she also had 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.
Hearing what Lu Ming said, 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 anything, just be fair. And , and will not go back to Donghai with me, 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. ”
Clenched 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 it. Some formal agreements are required. ”
Liu Laocai's expression began to turn bitter, "Qianxing, this issue will give you a headache from today on. I will give all the oil fields to you, but I also know that you will definitely not agree, so let's do this. , after the oil field starts to be exploited, 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 only have a few years to live... From now on, Ha Shan, please take care of me more..."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Don't be so pessimistic. You just got released, you 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 face 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, what size of hat to wear, otherwise, it's just a fight Damn it, 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 at my beck and call. What’s more, even if you’re on call, whether I’ll be able to see you again next time something happens is a question.”
"Qianxing, among my relatives and friends, you are the only one who can hold this golden bowl firmly. If I can eat some meat from your bowl, it is my blessing. Moreover, Qianxing, your character is so good. Needless to say? If you promise me fifty years, you will definitely be able to do it. I’m really worried about 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 A little kindness, a little bit of soup, and if you have too much soup, it will burn me to death."
Lu Ming was about to say something after hearing his sincerity, 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. No matter how much you give me, I will keep 200,000 when the time comes, and the rest will still be transferred to your account. Don't you worry that someone will keep an eye on our strange accounts? This is how you deal with each other." He looked at Lu Ming and said, "I'm only worth two hundred thousand, and in fifty years, that's ten million, and I can only live this much. If you really miss me, bro, I'll burp tomorrow. Shit, right?"
Lu Ming thought about it and smiled, "We haven't got the oil field yet. It will be funny when we fight. There is a joke in my hometown. The head of the person they beat turned into a dog's head. He was taken to the police for questioning. But it was because the lottery winnings were unevenly distributed. These two guys hadn’t even 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 pair of treasures..." 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, There are too many evil ideas, and I’m afraid I’ll fall into your trap later. Qianxing, 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 get 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, and I, Lu From now on, I will pay this 500,000 yuan every year, and I will increase this payment according to inflation as appropriate. Unless my descendants fail to live up to expectations and destroy all my family property, there is no other way.”
Liu Laocai waved his hand: "That's not necessary. I understand your intention Qianxing, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings. How can I care so much about future generations' affairs? Don't cause our descendants to turn against each other in the future. What do you think I do? Is that right? It’s better to have a time limit, maybe a hundred years. I think Qian Xing can handle the matter in at least a hundred years.”
Lu Ming was thinking about it and was about to speak when Luo Yi came in a hurry and whispered as he approached, "Master, the powerful Lord Luo City is coming this way and is 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, that is 2% of the entire oil field. Don't regret it in the future. That’s it!”
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! Your best friends treat you like 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 income is about 30 million U.S. dollars a year, 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 has his own brand to support it. This is The life he dreamed of.
As for the Tianhai Desert Oilfield, calculated 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 generations of this oil field For super large oil fields with an annual net profit of US$7 to 8 billion, it 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 talk to Rabbi Fila, and no other people will be discussed."
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 it was of no use. Now, this desert belongs to I need more support from you, City Lord Zhongquan."
Chongquan 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, Tianhai Desert has never been among them. It was only after the oil and gas was explored from Fila Oil that Bailu City suddenly announced that it owned the Tianhai Desert. Sovereignty, right?"
"Since the desert now belongs to me, if he wants to take 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 disputed? If a lawsuit should be filed, If I file a lawsuit, it means that I think this land is disputed. This is a step down, which means that the other party has taken a step forward in vain. City Lord Luo, do you think this is the case? ”
The powerful Luo said nothing.
Lu Ming added: "To be honest, the territorial disputes between Bate City and Bailu City are the basis for the patriotic enthusiasm and sense of honor of lords, big and small, and even 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 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 also said: "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 Beiguan business community, the cooperation with Bade City will become larger and larger. City Lord Luo, you should have great confidence in the future of Bade City!"
Chongquan 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 and smiled.
Even now, Richard and his party 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 It became a disgrace to the legal profession and was severely 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 he doesn't want to explain how he wants to explain it. Only then did Lu Ming understand his identity.
Lu Ming nodded: "Member of the Alliance, I understand, you continue."
The Parliament of the Western Free City-State Alliance, consisting of hundreds of city-states regardless of size, is represented by one member from each city-state. The parliament is located 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 eliminate us as a member of the alliance. The qualifications of a member..." Zhongquan Luo became paler as he spoke.
It’s no wonder that if Bate City is really expelled from the alliance, they may be exterminated 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 White Deer 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?"
Sighed, "It's not just the custom of this city-state..."
This bad habit also exists in Bailu City, and is even 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 indeed not just against you, Bate City, but actually, it is also against me. Now you and I are grasshoppers on the same line."
Chongquan Luo'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 councilors, Mayor Lu. Before the council is convened, I will grant you the title of hurricane councilor. From now on, you will have the same authority as the city lord in this city, and , as long as you have court matters while you are in this city-state, you are the supreme judge."
Probably, this was planned on the way here, and the crisis of destroying the city is 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."
