Chapter 1634 Purchase of land from the earl

After listening to Wang Tao's words, Niu Xiaoqiang hummed, expressing his approval of Wang Tao and Yu Guoqiang's work attitude. At the same time, he reminded: "Although work is very important, physical health is also important. I don't want you to work for work. In the long run, it is not worth the loss, so I hope you can arrange your work and rest time reasonably. This is not only my advice to you, but also my order to all scientific researchers. From now on, no matter who , the daily working hours must not exceed twelve hours, otherwise the company will not only not reward him, but also criticize him, please strictly implement this order without discounting."

Both of them felt a little warmth when they heard this, but at the same time felt that it was a bit too much.

Wang Tao spoke first: "Secretary Niu, I know you are doing it for our own good, but isn't the rule that the working hours should not exceed twelve hours a day too strict? Otherwise, we will extend the maximum working hours by two Hours, so that everyone will not be exhausted and work will not be delayed, what do you think?"

Yu Guoqiang echoed: "I support Director Wang's proposal. Working [-] hours a day is actually not much, which also includes the time for eating, going to the bathroom and lunch break. Secretary Niu, please agree to Director Wang." .”

Niu Xiaoqiang pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, then, according to Director Wang's intention, the working hours will be increased by two hours. This is my bottom line. I hope the two of you can take it seriously, and don't follow the law. Otherwise, once I know about it, don’t blame me for not being sympathetic.”

The two hurriedly nodded, expressing again and again that they would not violate Niu Xiaoqiang's rules, and promised to strictly enforce them.

Niu Xiaoqiang exchanged pleasantries with the two of them, and then hung up the phone.

When he returned to the guest room, Windsor came in with a gray-haired old man to say hello: "Niu Xiaoqiang, this is the Earl of Morton I told you about, he just flew from Ireland to New York, and rushed over after getting off the plane .”

Niu Xiaoqiang took two steps forward and warmly shook hands with Earl Morton to say hello.

Earl Morton is a veteran nobleman, which can be seen from his temperament.Although he had just flown across the Atlantic Ocean, the fatigue after the long journey did not make Earl Morton relax his demands on himself. He was very particular about his clothes and his hair was neatly combed, looking meticulous.

Earl Morton was neither humble nor overbearing when facing Niu Xiaoqiang, and he did not lower his posture just because Niu Xiaoqiang was a rich man.

After the two greeted each other, the host and guest sat down separately. As the introducer, Windsor also sat down, ready to adjust the atmosphere when needed.

Niu Xiaoqiang spoke first: "Mr. Earl, I heard from Windsor that you have a territory in Ailan, which may contain oil resources. You are currently preparing for the bidding for oil exploration. I am a straightforward person. I have some words to tell you directly. You said it, if possible, I want to buy this piece of land from you, I wonder if you can accept it in principle?"

This is the strategy that Niu Xiaoqiang had agreed upon a long time ago. He was going to buy the land directly for a round-up, so that he could explore it slowly in the future.If you participate in the bidding, even if the final bidding is successful, there will be an exploration deadline according to international practice.In case no oil is discovered within the exploration period, Niu Xiaoqiang will do nothing for nothing.

If he could buy this piece of land, even if he failed to explore for oil, the land still exists after all, and he could resell it to others to recover a certain amount of losses.If it can be sold at a high price, Niu Xiaoqiang will not only not lose money, but can also make a fortune.

Earl Morton had communicated with Windsor just now, and he knew Niu Xiaoqiang's intentions. He was not opposed to selling the land in principle.

Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was so direct, Earl Morton didn't bother to go around in circles. He nodded slightly and said, "I am not opposed to the transfer of this land in principle. As long as Mr. Niu's price meets my expectations, we can reach this deal." , I wonder what price Mr. Niu is going to offer?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Before asking for a price, I need to know the basic situation of this land, in addition to the relevant policies of Ailan. As far as I know, Ailan is a bit messy now. There is an organization called the Freedom Alliance that makes money all day long." Otherwise, even if I buy this land at a high price, if the Ailan government does not recognize the purchase contract or people from the Freedom Alliance get in the way, wouldn't my work be in vain?"

Earl Morton nodded slightly when he heard the words: "I can understand Mr. Niu's concern. This is the basic information about this land. Please read it over, Mr. Niu. I can answer the two questions you just mentioned on the spot. The first is the attitude of the Ailan government. There is no problem with this. My land is privately owned. I can sell it to whomever I want. The government has no right to interfere. Of course, the prerequisite is that the buyer must be Law-abiding good citizens, if you buy land and use it to do something illegal, the government will definitely not sit idly by."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Of course, no matter what country's government it is, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen. I can assure Mr. Earl that I am absolutely a law-abiding businessman and will never use this land to do anything illegal. Undisciplined things."

Morton nodded, and then said: "As for whether the Liberty Alliance will cause damage, I can't guarantee you this, but according to my opinion, they probably won't do anything unfriendly to you. The target of the Liberty Alliance is They are all high-level, they want to use this to achieve their own political demands, and they will not start with commercial activities, because doing so will easily affect Ailan's economy, which in turn will affect the employment and living problems of the general public. Once they are insane, If they really attack commercial activities, they will lose the support of the people, and I believe they will not be able to do such a stupid thing."

Earl Morton's analysis was exactly the same as Windsor's. They both felt that the Liberty Alliance would not do anything to destroy business investment.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "In that case, let me take a look at the basic information of this piece of land."

After he finished speaking, he looked down at the document that Earl Morton handed him. This document not only listed in detail the area and topographic features of the land, but also listed the starting point of latitude and longitude. The last page of the document was a A map, which marked the land on the map very intuitively.

According to the documents, the total land area of ​​this land (including mountains, rivers and lakes and other water areas) is 490 square kilometers. There is a medieval manor on the land with a construction area of ​​[-] square meters.
