My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 923 Meeting Ceremony (4K Large Chapter)

"What the f**k? Vicky, why do you have such thoughts?"

Dabao said in astonishment.

"So you really only have one wife?"

Vicky was equally shocked.

Dabao nodded: "Our Daxia is a monogamous country. Of course I only have one wife. Can you Americans marry multiple wives?"

"Yes." Vicki sighed helplessly,

"No way? If I remember correctly, doesn't your religion only allow one wife?"

"Xu, we don't need official registration to get married now, we just need to go to church.

The current situation is special. Only when there are more people in the clan can the family grow stronger. My younger brother has three wives and has five children like you. "

"Unbelievable!" Dabao was shocked. "You don't even need to register for marriage. It's too exaggerated. Is this still a normal country?"

"You are right. America is originally a geographical term. You can think of it as the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages. It has an empty name, and the states below are basically independent."

Vicky explained patiently.

"It's hard to understand. You also said that the current situation is serious. Isn't it good to unite?"

"Xu, our western culture is different from your eastern culture. We don't have the idea of ​​great unification. In fact, we can't say that there is no such thing. It's just that we have failed after many attempts. For us, great unification is not an option. Do you understand? ?”

"Uh, I probably understood a little bit."

Dabao spoke vaguely.

Wei Qi was very understanding, and immediately changed the subject: "Xu, according to my grandfather, you are the richest man in the world now?"

"No." Dabao quickly explained: "Our old man used to be the richest man in the world, but he retired at the beginning of the year. My father has five children, and I only inherited one-fifth of his property, but the family business is owned by me. Responsible for business."

"Can I ask a personal question?"

"go ahead!"

"How much money do you have in total now?"

"It's about 100 billion. It's Daxia yuan. If it's converted into US dollars, it's almost 2000 taels." Dabao replied.

"Oh my God, you are so rich!"

Vicky couldn't help but exclaimed.

Dabao smiled and waved his hands: "Compared with a big consortium and big family like yours, my property is not worth mentioning at all. To be honest, I am very envious of your castle."

"Xu, it's different. Although our family has trillions of dollars in assets, the money belongs to the family's common property. If it is divided equally among all clan members, it won't even have one percent of yours."

"Vicky, your grandfather is the old Mr. Lawrence, and your father is a popular candidate for the next 'head'. According to our Daxia people, you are the eldest princess of the Lawrence family, and you must have more than this wealth."

"Actually, it's all the same to me." Wei Qi shook her head, and said with longing on her face, "I wish I could be born in your Great Xia, so I don't have to worry about going hungry, and I can fall in love freely."

"Don't be so depressed. When I see your grandfather again later, I will definitely persuade him to return you to freedom." Dabao comforted him quickly.

"Xu, thank you!"

Vicky replied politely.

If grandpa can be persuaded, there is no need to wait until now. In her grandfather's words, an exception cannot be made for her, otherwise the family's hearts will be broken.

Their family will also lose the position of patriarch.

Next, a group of people walked around the castle along the main road. There are plantations, schools, hospitals, and various small workshops and small shops in the castle, which can almost be self-sufficient.

At the end of the visit, Weiqi led Dabao to the door of a shop: "Xu, this is a restaurant. The owner is a good cook, and he is also your compatriot. He has been on the island for more than ten years."

"Really? Let's go in and have a look."

Dabao became interested instantly.

After speaking, a group of people pushed the door and entered.

When the shop owner saw Vicky, he said happily, "Miss Vicky, why are you here?"

"Master Jia, I have an important guest to introduce to you." Wei Qi replied with a smile.

"Master Jia, hello!"

Dabao greeted immediately.

"Hello, hello, are you from China?"

Master Jia was very excited to see his compatriots.

"That's right, we flew directly from the capital. My name is Xu Wanxia. Where are you from, Brother Jia?"

While calling everyone to sit down, Master Jia introduced himself: "I am from Xiangzhou, my hometown. When I was young, I was ignorant. I just wanted to go outside and have been to Siam, Tianzhu Peninsula, the Philippines, Europe Ba, and finally settled on the island."

"Brother Jia, you have a lot of experience."

Dabao immediately gave a thumbs up.

"It's true that it's rich, but it's also really dangerous. I didn't make much money, and I almost lost my life several times.

Later, when I got older, I finally learned from the painful experience and simply married my wife, and then set up a small restaurant here. I don’t want to be rich and powerful, as long as I can make a living. "

After Master Jia finished speaking, he immediately called out the two wives, one Caucasian woman and one Asian.

"Brother Jia, are you doing as the Romans do?"

Dabao couldn't help but joked.

"Hey..." Master Jia smiled, pointed to the white woman and introduced, "This is my eldest wife, she is my savior. We have three children."

Then he pointed to Asians and introduced:
"She is a Bassi of Nisan origin, and she was exiled to Panama. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her back. No matter how bad life is, I will not miss a bite of her."

"Mud Howl!"

Neither of these two spoke fluently in Daxia.

Dabao nodded at the two of them.

"Brother Xu, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you." Master Jia said generously, "It's rare to meet someone from my hometown today. Brother, I'm so happy."

"You're welcome." Dabao waved his hand: "We're going to attend a reception later, and we just got thirsty after walking, so just pour us a cup of tea, and let's sit down and chat."

"Okay, wait for me for a while, I'll make tea." Master Jia said straightforwardly.

After all, there are many delicious delicacies at the reception, which must be much more advanced than his place, and he can also see that the person in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person.

If it is an ordinary person, how could it be possible to bring five or six bodyguards with him, let alone Miss Vicky personally accompanying him, the treatment is no one.

……

It was night soon, and the castle was brightly lit, Dabao was a little surprised, he had never seen such a bright night scene in the capital.

At this time, Vicky has already put on a gorgeous evening dress, giving people a particularly amazing feeling.

"Vickie, you look so pretty tonight!"

"Xu, it's time for us to go."

Vicky took the initiative to hold Dabao's arm.

Dabao dodged subconsciously.

Wei Qi quickly explained: "Xu, don't get me wrong, this is our western banquet etiquette, you can't make me look bad, can you?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean that, I'm a little sensitive, let's go!"

Dabao apologized.

After 10 minutes, the two arrived at the banquet hall.

This is a huge banquet hall. At least two or 300 people came to the scene, and everyone was dressed up, making it dizzying.

Dabao has an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He has only seen such a scene in foreign film and television dramas, and this is the first time in reality.

It's not that he hasn't participated in similar banquets before, but the scale is far smaller than this time.

"Clap clap clap..."

With the arrival of the two, there was warm applause at the scene.

Mr. Lawrence took the initiative to walk up to the two, faced all the guests, and introduced loudly:
"Let me introduce to everyone, this is our most honored guest tonight, Xu Wanxia Xu Dong from Daxia, he is the chairman of Hi-Tech Group.

Xu Dong came here this time and brought a cooperation project with a total investment of hundreds of billions of dollars. If anyone is interested, please come to me for consultation after the welcome meeting. "

Dabao didn't understand English very well, and the interpreter was not around, so Wei Qi could only act as the interpreter temporarily, so their faces were very close.

Next, under the leadership of Mr. Lawrence, Dabao got to know many important guests one after another, all of them are political and business celebrities without exception.

Through talking with them, Dabao finally had a basic understanding of the forces on the island.

To put it simply, the Ilibela Island under their feet is the capital of the entire North Amazon state, the headquarters of the Boston Consortium, and the headquarters of the major families.

There is no other reason for choosing this place, the only purpose is to avoid danger, and the island is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest mainland.

Even if the flames of war are raging on the mainland, it will be difficult to spread here, and they can stand on the sidelines here.

If the situation is really irretrievable, they can even retreat calmly. In the afternoon, Vicki accidentally revealed that most of the wealth of the entire Boston consortium is gathered on this island.

In addition to admiration, Dabao still admires it.

He has no extra thoughts, no wonder this group of capitalists can be so carefree, it turns out that they have already exhausted their plans.

In the middle of the banquet, Dabao was suddenly invited to a lounge next door, accompanied by several family heads.

"Xu Dong, while the big guys are here, why don't we talk about something serious?"

Mr. Lawrence cut to the chase.

Dabao picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea: "If you have anything to say, you may as well speak up."

Mr. Lawrence clapped his hands twice, and soon someone delivered a thick document.

"This is?" Dabao asked curiously.

"This is our meeting ceremony."

After Lawrence finished speaking, he gently pushed the document in front of the other party.

Dabao was not polite, and flipped through it casually.

Flipping through it, he frowned: "If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a steel catalog, right? Do you want to do the steel business?"

"Mr. Xu, I already said that this is a meeting ceremony." Lawrence smiled and shook his head, "A meeting ceremony is a meeting ceremony. How could it be a business? You misunderstood."

"Then what exactly does this document mean?"

Dabao waved the catalog in his hand.

Lawrence explained unhurriedly: "Actually, these are the production processes and patent authorization letters of eight special steels, which are the bottom of our pressure box.

As far as I know, your family opened a new steel factory a few months ago, I think this should be helpful to you, this is our sincerity. "

"Isn't this document too simple?"

Dabao expressed doubts.

"What you have in hand is just the catalog, the real information, including the relevant equipment and technical personnel, we have already packed the ship, and it will depart from the port tonight, and it will arrive in Sydney in a month."

Dabao was startled suddenly: "You will not be rewarded for any merit, please take it back..."

"Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry about it. This meeting ceremony just represents our sincerity and nothing else is involved. No matter whether the next cooperation can be

Success, will not affect its attribution. "

"Cooperation? What cooperation? Is it the expansion project of Xinke Seaweed?"

Dabao hurriedly asked.

"We have discussed the Xinke Seaweed project a long time ago. There is no objection at all. We can sign the contract tomorrow. What I want to say is another matter."

"It's still clear."

Dabao said calmly.

After the previous introduction by the intermediary, he already had sufficient mental preparation.

"We want Ceylon."

Mr. Lawrence made no secrets.

"Could you repeat that?"

Dabao stood up in shock, he suspected that he had heard wrong just now.

Lawrence showed a smile: "Xu Dong, you heard me right, you and I can jointly take Ceylon Island and develop it together."

"With all due respect, Ceylon is a normal country. Why would it attack the other side for no reason? This is unreasonable anyway, right?"

Dabao has no doubts about the opponent's ability.

The only concern of this group of people is Yahu. If they want to cooperate with themselves, they are purely using themselves as a shield. The water here is too deep.

He even regretted being involved.

"Mr. Xu, we smart people don't speak dark words. You must have heard about the current situation in America. Don't worry, we have no other purpose, just want to build a base overseas."

"Three caves of the cunning rabbit?"

"That's right, the Great Xia culture is indeed fascinating. The mere four words have revealed our intentions in one fell swoop. It's amazing!"

"Why Ceylon? There are many islands in the ocean. If you really invest, Nisan Island will have a lot of opportunities."

Dabao is not easy to fool.

"No why? The reason is simple, because Ceylon is a land without owner."

"Borderlands?"

Dabao was shocked by the opponent's shameless spirit.

Lawrence said meaningfully: "Looking at the whole world, except for the Tianzhu Peninsula, there are no other places that we can provoke, and we have no choice.

Moreover, Ceylon is surrounded by Asia, so it is the best choice for security and business. I can't think of other places. "

"Then you should have heard a saying, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?"

Dabao confronted each other.

"Hehe, with Yahu's current size, we are not a threat anyway, right?"

"You have nuclear weapons."

"Mr. Xu, you are overthinking. Unless we want to kill ourselves, we won't deploy nuclear weapons on the island. We can even make a concession. We won't station troops on the island, and there are only ordinary police on the island to maintain law and order."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
