My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 56: It’s rare to be confused

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!

The flower hall of the Lu family residence in Sansha Town.

On the chair under Lu Ming's head sat a middle-aged white fat man, Guo Youdong, the eldest son of Liu Jingtang's old employer.

I heard from Liu Jingtang that the younger daughter-in-law who was in charge of the coal mine said she did not agree with the sale of the coal mine and that she would be robbed.

This made Boss Guo furious. He removed his daughter-in-law from the position of assistant manager, negotiated cooperation with himself, and sent his eldest son.

After all, selling mines is much simpler than maintaining a coal mine.

Now Guo Youdong is talking eloquently, describing the Jingyang Mine as a golden mountain.

But in fact, it is true that with today's technical conditions, open-pit coal mines are indeed a golden mountain, with low mining costs, high efficiency, and much higher safety than deep coal mines.

As Guo Youdong spoke, his eyes glanced at the booklet in his hand from time to time, obviously he had done enough homework.

According to his calculations, the Jingyang Mine can produce one million tons of coal a year, as well as several million tons of other ores. It is simply a sea of ​​mines.

The coal seam is 60 meters thick, and when you shovel it down, it will be filled with coal.

All coals are long-flame coal and gas coal, and are of very high quality.

Wait.

Lu Ming laughed: "Youdong, your mine currently produces one million tons a year?"

Guo Youdong hesitated and said: "Boss Lu, after introducing some mining equipment from the East China Sea, one million tons a year is completely achievable."

"Then it can't be calculated like this. As far as I know, the combined output of several mines in your Jingyang Mine is only about 100,000 tons a year, right?"

"Based on this year's price, when it comes to Longgang Freight Station, the quality of your Jingyang coal is indeed good. One ton is shipped out for about 4 yuan, which is about 400,000 yuan you get every year."

"Then, pay the mining fee of 100,000 yuan to the county office."

"Worker wages, various expenses, losses, etc., cost hundreds of thousands a year."

"Oh, now, we still have to pay 100,000 yuan a year in security fees to gangs such as Hei Laoliu."

"So, the net profit for this year is only tens of thousands of yuan. We have to avoid accidents. If something goes wrong, I think we will have to pay compensation."

Listening to Lu Ming's explanation, Guo Youdong smiled forcefully, and beads of sweat appeared on his white forehead.

Lu Ming looked at his brochure again, "Who did this homework for you? There is no sincerity at all! It makes me, the buyer, very disgusted! Are you deliberately not wanting us to cooperate?"

Guo Youdong gritted his teeth and closed the pamphlet, "I knew this little **** wasn't so kind! I had always been opposed to it, but now that I'm here to talk, you gave me some advice!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Well, if Boss Guo wants to transfer the mining rights as a whole, he still has more than 30 years of mining rights, right? I can pay 200,000."

Guo Youdong was stunned, couldn't help but open the brochure again, and murmured: "Even if our net profit is 50,000 yuan a year, it will be 1.5 million yuan in thirty years. Moreover, after the introduction of new technologies, ..."

Obviously, after the "little bitch" in his mouth also opened the opponent's lion's mouth wide, he had a certain plan on how to deal with it.

Lu Ming waved his hand to interrupt him, "I told you, that pamphlet was meant to deceive you. How can you settle accounts like this? If nothing else, don't you know Youdong? This mining rights contract is sometimes just waste paper. One? Generally speaking, it can be calculated based on five years. Not to mention that the governor has been in office for five years. According to convention, there has never been a governor who has served for more than ten years. I calculated it based on five years, which is quite conservative. ! If the governor leaves next year, everything will be reshuffled, and there will be a new major shareholder and someone from the new governor. What will I do then? ”

"You dong, so let's not talk about it! This calculation is really meaningless. I may not be able to get back the two hundred thousand yuan in five years. If there is any change in five years, I will just do it. Compensation."

Lu Ming picked up the tea cup.

Uncle Sun took two steps and made an inviting gesture towards the door, "Mr. Guo, I will take you out."

"Don't, don't!" Guo Youdong panicked and said hurriedly: "Boss Lu, my father made it clear to me when he came here, at least one million. If we can't talk about one million, there's nothing we can say. Can’t agree! ”

Liu Jingtang, who had been silent next to him, was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, no wonder he wanted a female to be the head of the family.

Lu Ming sighed, "If I had given you half the price before the bandits, half a million would be fair. Calculating it over five years, I might be able to make a small profit, but now? What if Hei Laoliu and the others What about the price increase next year? 150,000? Can this mine continue to be mined?

"The day before yesterday, Black Lao Liu came to me to collect protection money. Tomorrow is the deadline, I have to reply!"

Guo Youdong was startled, "Come to your place?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Think about it, my mine is smaller than your Guo family's, and it's far away. I charge 50,000 yuan a year. Do you think your price won't increase? These mountains Bandit, your appetite is getting bigger and bigger!”

Guo Youdong murmured, "They all came to you..."

"Mr. Guo, please, my master still has a lot of things to do!" Uncle Sun reminded him.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lu, I'll come back tomorrow!" Guo Youdong nodded and stood up.

Looking at Guo Youdong's back, Lu Ming said to Liu Jingtang: "We are talking about business."

Liu Jingtang nodded slightly. In fact, except for exaggerating the protection fee offered by Hei Laoliu to the Sansha Mine, everything else was all true.

The bandits' appetite will indeed grow bigger and bigger. My old friend, if the current trend continues, he will eventually work for the bandits for free.

If one misstep goes wrong, it may lead to a huge disaster, and maybe the entire Guo family will be wiped out.

……

The next afternoon, in the flower hall of the Lu family mansion, Lu Ming met Hei Laoliu's envoy.

He is a little thin man, half an ear is missing, his face is covered with scars, and his face is ferocious. Without saying a word, he points to his ears and face: "Master Lu, don't be surprised, don't be scared by my brother. , brothers are the most loyal. The scars on this face are from when they were besieged by the enemy. I don’t know how many times they were chopped on their faces, and one of their ears was also chopped off. But the brother was lucky and survived. The gang who had attacked You bastard, I have met the King of Hell now! I will remember whoever treats me well for the rest of my life, and whoever treats me badly, I will only remember it for a few years. After a few years, I won’t have to remember it anymore. Mr. Lu, don’t you think so? ”

Lu Ming smiled: "Little Ear, you are blessed with great fortune, and your luck will be the same in the future."

The little thin man's face darkened slightly. After half of his ear was chopped off, his nickname gradually changed to Li Xiaoer, but that was also behind his back.

Who wouldn’t call him Li Ba Ye respectfully in person? Among the leaders of the Hei Laoliu gang, he ranks eighth.

Lu Ming thought about it and said: "Let's do this, little ear, you go back and tell Lao Liu that I want to see him. Everyone is looking for a living, and I don't want to finish things. Listen to you, and Lao Jackal That group is different, not so evil."

Li Ba immediately turned pale, "Master Lu, listening to your words, can't I take this money away today? It's thousands of dollars, and I, Li Ba, don't even have the dignity to do so?" After a pause, "Lu Master, are you still threatening our brother?"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later when Lao Liu comes!"

Li Ba snorted, stared at Lu Ming for a while, then stood up suddenly and walked out.

When he walked out of the flower hall, he saw a large water tank next to him. He pulled out the box cannon, and with a "bang" sound, the water tank immediately had two more eyes, and water gurgled out. Then, cracks appeared in the water tank, and slowly Slow cracking.

He looked back at the flower hall and strode away.

Lu Ming mouthed to Mrs. Wei, who was beside him and turned pale with fright, "Write down the account and call Hei Laoliu later and pay ten times the amount."

In the east room outside, I heard that Boss Lu was meeting Li Xiaoer when I arrived. Guo Youdong, who was waiting here, watched Li Xiaoer pull out a gun and smash the water tank, and stormed away.

Guo Youdong's expression changed again and again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Uncle Sun arrived at the door, "Mr. Guo, please come with me!"

Guo Youdong followed him into the flower hall, and Mrs. Wei gave everyone new tea.

"Boss Lu, you haven't reached an agreement with Mr. Li Ba?" Guo Youdong looked at Lu Ming's expression carefully.

Lu Ming sighed: "It seems quite difficult to mine coal here. No wonder, tell me, there are many rich people in the East China Sea, but none of them have come? Finally, here comes me, a dabbler!" Then he said to Guo Youdong: " So, your old man probably hasn’t replied yet, right? Let’s wait. I have to think about whether the city government can send the police to suppress the bandits. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me in Sansha Mine.”

Guo Youdong was stunned and said to himself, Boss Lu, you are so naive. Soldiers and bandits belong to the same family. You, a Donghai native, have probably never heard of this sentence.

With his mind on the phone, he said with a smile: "Boss Lu, I heard that when doing business in the East China Sea, verbal promises are also legally binding, right? Yesterday, you promised to buy the Jingyang Mine." In my heart, I was admiring my own. Ji Zhi, but I only learned this after hearing the little **** say it a few days ago.

Lu Ming was startled for a moment, looked embarrassed, and then smiled: "But Youdong, you didn't agree to sell it to me, right? You can't make the decision, and your old man won't agree either."

Guo Youdong immediately smiled proudly and patted the briefcase beside him, "Boss Lu, I originally brought the authorized mining contract for Jingyang Mine issued by the County Office, and I also brought my father's signature and seal with me. , I can make the decision today.”

Lu Ming frowned slightly, "I didn't agree to bid one million yesterday."

"No, let's do this, Boss Lu, half a million, that's about it. Your family has a big business and a lot of power. If you go to the city for activities, the bandits won't dare to harass you as long as the police come forward!"

Lu Ming smiled: "Youdong, I feel now that you want to trick me and treat me like a three-year-old child?"

What else did Guo Youdong want to say? Lu Ming waved his hand: "Let's think about it and talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

Guo Youdong gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, Boss Lu, you said yesterday, two hundred thousand, right? We will sign the contract now, but I have a condition, we need cash. ”

Lu Ming was startled and looked at him, "If you want cash, go to the county bank to withdraw it, not 200,000, but 150,000."

Guo Youdong's face turned green and white, and he finally said: "Okay, 150,000 is 150,000!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Then let's sign the agreement now. In a moment, the black head will drive you to the bank to withdraw the money." He glanced at Liu Jingtang and said, "Uncle Liu, you should also go with me and come back with a receipt."

Liu Jingtang sighed inwardly and nodded lightly.

……

The green open-top off-road jeep, with the black head as the driver and Liu Jingtang sitting in the passenger seat.

Guo Youdong, however, came in a carriage with a family of five, a wife, a concubine, and two children, who barely squeezed into the back seat, with the children sitting on the adults' laps.

A few more bamboo and rattan suitcases were stuffed under the back seats of the jeep.

The jeep was rented from a trading company in Montenegro. Although this "Yellow River Trading Company" is indeed engaged in serious business, it is also a contact point and intelligence station for the "Freedom Force" organization.

Nowadays, the Montenegro branch of the Free Power Club is about to register as a legal association in Montenegro. It seems that apart from the need to honor some key figures, it is not difficult.

Watching the jeep taking away a piece of black sand, Lu Ming turned around and returned to the courtyard.

In this area, sometimes it’s dark when it rains, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Back in the flower hall, Lu Ming picked up the copy of the agreement that still smelled of ink and read it slowly.

Next to her, Mrs. Wei replaced the tea with new tea. Lu Ming smiled: "One hundred and fifty thousand, if you think about it, does this count as robbing that coal mine?"

Sister-in-law Wei was stunned. This was the first time Boss Lu had a conversation with her. He immediately shook his head: "No, sir. I'm afraid that you have lost all the money. The bandits over there are very fierce. Sansha Mr. Mine doesn’t want to pay the protection fee. If they know that the coal mine in Jingyang is also yours, they will definitely increase the price. It is close to the mountainous area..."

This boss Lu is really rich, and he even handed over a huge sum of 150,000 yuan in cash without blinking an eye.

Completely different from Brigadier Hu, Mr. Lu is a real businessman. Since his arrival, workers have received salary increases and schools have been built.

Even if it is just to win people's hearts, it is a real business method, and the villagers of Sansha can benefit.

However, civilized people who come from a giant city like a paradise that is particularly civilized in legends, and who follow the law in everything, may not know that in the territory of bandits, bandits are the king's law, which makes no sense.

Finally, don't be harmed by the bandits.

Those bandits are not ruffians like Brigadier Hu, and they cannot be dealt with with a dozen firearms.

While I was thinking about it, I heard Boss Lu nod: "Well, if the villagers think so, then even if I go to court in the end, I can't lose."

Sister-in-law Wei sighed in her heart. She really wanted to go to court for everything. It was useless here.

Outside, there was a sudden noise.

Uncle Sun hurried in and said, "Master, a woman who calls herself He Mojun wants to see the master."

Lu Ming nodded: "Bring her here."

The Guo family found out quickly.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the courtyard. Lu Ming looked towards the courtyard and was suddenly stunned.

On the stone road in the courtyard, a graceful woman was walking. She was about twenty-four or five years old. Her slim figure was wrapped in a blue floral cheongsam. Her oval face had watery eyes. She was very charming. She was not her predecessor. Who is the sister-in-law?

Didn’t you marry to Linxian? I originally said that I would go back to my hometown to see her in the future, and if life was very difficult, I would help her.

Although this sister-in-law is not nice to me, she looks down on me as a heavy smoker and has a mean personality.

When I came home from vacation, she often teased me.

But she had a very good relationship with her eldest brother, who was also a very loyal person and treated her very well.

The eldest brother has a kind personality. If he knew what he was doing, he would also hope that he could take care of his sister-in-law if he had the ability.

However, it seems that my sister-in-law married well and has a high status in the Guo family.

So, it doesn't matter whether you recognize her or not.

Thinking wildly, Lu Ming picked up the sunglasses on the table and put them on.

At this time, He Mojun had already walked in quickly and asked anxiously: "Where is my uncle?"

But Guo Youdong was missing in the living room, and he forgot about etiquette for a moment.

Lu Ming felt a little cold when he heard her ask "my uncle". He didn't know why, but he also knew that he felt unhappy and unreasonable. People have the freedom to marry and are no longer his relatives.

"He Xiangli, please sit down. Are you looking for Mr. Guo Youdong? He has gone to the county seat!"

"Oh..." He Mojun reluctantly smiled at Lu Ming: "Boss Lu, I'm sorry, my uncle secretly took the family's belongings and deceived my father-in-law into a few pages of blank paper signed with his name. I I don’t know what he wants to do, so I’m looking for him urgently. Do you know what he’s doing in the county?”

He Mojun sat down, took the tea from Sister Wei, said thank you, and stared at Lu Ming anxiously.

Lu Ming didn't hide it either, "He came to me and sold your coal mine, and now he went to the county to withdraw cash!"

He Mojun immediately stood up and said, "That one can't be counted! Mr. Lu, hurry up and find a way to intercept him, so as not to cause any loss to you! He brought the whole family with him, so I knew something was wrong... Sigh... ..." He sighed and stamped his feet.

Lu Ming shook his head: "There is nothing I can do about it. There is no car phone on the jeep. Besides, the agreement I signed with him is true and valid. Here, here is a copy."

Lu Ming nodded on the table, and Mrs. Wei picked up the copy and showed it to He Mojun.

It is the Jingyang Coal Mine Mining Rights Transfer Agreement. Attached to it are the authorization letter from He Mojun's father-in-law Guo Dewang to his eldest son, and the mining agreement signed with the County Office 20 years ago, etc.

"150,000?" He Mojun gritted his teeth, "You might as well go and grab it!"

Lu Ming glanced at Sister-in-law Wei and said with a smile: "Tell her about it?"

You really should have a clerk around to talk to women about things. If there is any clerk in the office, they won't let her take advantage of you like this.

Sister-in-law Wei over there was stunned and whispered: "He Xiangli, if you can find Mr. Guo and bring him back, it would be great. The coalfields over Jingyang belong to bandits sooner or later. Mr. Lu's investment, I’m afraid it’s all in vain!”

He Mojun hesitated and glanced at Sister-in-law Wei, "That's nonsense, I still have a way!"

Sister-in-law Wei said: "What can you do? The bandits have no mercy."

He Mojun said: "I'm about to go to the city and spend more money, even if it's tens of thousands more in mining fees a year, I hope the police can intervene."

Listening to the conversation between the two, He Mojun did not reprimand Mrs. Wei because she was a servant and had no right to talk to her.

Instead, he really started arguing with Sister Wei.

Lu Ming vaguely remembered some past events. Yes, this sister-in-law was a real new woman. She had been promoting the idea of ​​equality at home, which made the old man dislike her very much.

I often ridicule myself, and I can't bear to see myself smoking. I even act like a master at home and often bully my slaves.

"Mr. Lu, no matter what, this agreement is definitely invalid, but if my uncle really can't be found, our Guo family can pay some compensation at our discretion for the 150,000, but we must give us time to raise the money. , and when the situation in the coal mine improves, I will pay you all the 150,000 sooner or later."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "Whether it is valid or invalid depends on whether the court recognizes it. He Xiangli, you can go to the city to find a lawyer and file a lawsuit with me, but this agreement is definitely not invalid if you say it is invalid." He added : "Tomorrow, my people will officially take over the Jingyang Mine."

He Mojun looked at Lu Ming with a sneer, "I'm afraid, Hei Laoliu and the others won't agree."

Lu Ming smiled: "I'm not afraid of them. What do they do? Do a bunch of savages in the mountains have the right to judge a mining rights dispute?" After a pause, "Oh, look, the agreement and related attachments are I asked my shopkeeper to take the original documents to the county for registration. When he comes back, the documents from the county office stating that the mining rights of Jingyang Coal Mine officially belong to me will definitely arrive!"

He Mojun's face paled slightly and he nodded: "I know, the new county magistrate has something to do with you."

Lu Ming was noncommittal and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.

He Mojun was silent for a while and suddenly said: "No matter what, you can't accept Well No. 4 tomorrow. It belongs to me privately! My father-in-law gave it to me!"

Lu Ming smiled: "Well, Well No. 4 is a coal seam discovered by the Guo family ten years ago. It has faults with other coal seams. However, according to local mining exploration regulations, Well No. 4 also belongs to the main body of Jingyang Mine, right? That’s wrong. If the new coal seam is discovered by the Guo family, then the coal mine belongs to the Guo family, don’t you think so?”

He Mojun stared at Lu Ming and finally knew that this guy came well prepared and had a clear understanding of the situation in the Jingyang Mine.

Compared to bandits, this kind of foreign capital is sometimes more terrifying, as they may have already planned how to embezzle it.

Lu Ming coughed again, "However, I don't want to do everything. The mining rights for Well No. 4 can be handed over to your Guo family. It is regarded as a contract from me. Every year, half of the coal will be given to me. Well No. 4 produces almost 20,000 tons of coal a year. If you give me 10,000 tons of coal a year, it will cost about 40,000 yuan. Well, the annual contract fee will be 40,000 yuan! I will sign the specific agreement tomorrow when my people go there. ."

"After taking into account the labor and the shared protection fee, there is not much money left at all. Mr. Lu, you have gone too far!" He Mojun said with a cold face.

Lu Ming spread his hands and said nothing.

Actually, what kind of protection fee will there be in the future? After introducing some technologies from Donghai, there is no problem in doubling the output of Jingyang Mine. After coming to the Guo family, the income will definitely be higher than now, and there is no need to worry about anything.

From a certain perspective, I have saved the Guo family. As for the former sister-in-law, it doesn't matter whether she understands or not in the future.

Looking at her gritting her teeth and leaving, it was obvious that in her mind, he was a demon who came to crush her Guo family bones and **** the marrow.

But it doesn’t matter.

When she came to Longgang, she used the name "Lu Ming", but she seemed unfazed. She must have forgotten everything about the Lu family.

According to Liu Jingtang, she married into the Guo family four years ago.

That is, she married into the Guo family a few days after leaving the Lu family. I don’t know how it was passed down in my family, but it was said that she went to Linxian County.

Moreover, Liu Jingtang said that she was the third eldest child in the Guo family and a classmate of Guo Younan.

I didn’t think much about it at the time, but I didn’t expect that she was really my sister-in-law. That is, she had always been in contact with this old classmate?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.

Elder brother, if you have a spirit in heaven, there is no need to delve into it. Many things are hard to be confused about.
