Chapter 118 The Grateful Philip
Early the next morning, Wu Tao and An Qi came to the Hawaii State Government Building together.

Philip, who received the news, was already waiting at the door.Today's Philip is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looks much more decent.

"Dear-Tao, you are finally here."

Wu Tao smiled and greeted Philip, only to find that behind him, there were even a group of officials from the state government welcoming him.

'This group of cunning officials are so enthusiastic, it seems that they have decided that they have been taken advantage of! ' Wu Tao thought to himself, but on the surface he was still listening to Philip's introduction with a warm heart.

Philip pointed to the first chubby man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and said, "This is the Governor of Hawaii, Mr. Neil." Then came the State Auditor General, the Director of the Land Department, and the Secretary of State.

Wu Tao shuddered inwardly. The head of the state government was all present except the deputy governor and the chief justice.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two parties sat down in the meeting room, and Philip asked straight to the point: "Dear-Tao, how do you think about the choice of the island?"

Wu Tao didn't answer but asked instead: "Can I have a look at the island pricing table given by the state government first?"

Philip's heart tightened, and he glanced at Governor Neil, who nodded and said, "Yes."

Wu Tao then took a look at the documents handed over by Philip. Among all the valuations of the islands, the valuation of Laisan Island was the most expensive, as high as 7000 million U.S. dollars.According to the international general market, the maximum is 6000 million US dollars, so this price is a bit inflated.It should be that the other party has figured out that he will buy Laisan Island, so it is deliberately overstated.

Wu Tao continued to look down, and the price of Nihua Island was second, but it was only 3000 million US dollars.This price obviously does not have much water, which further confirmed his inference.

He glanced at Philip casually, and this guy actually had a worried look on his face.It seems that he probably disclosed Laisang Island to the state government in order to claim credit. Now that Wu Tao has been slow to reveal his choice, he, who was originally determined, began to become nervous.

Then Wu Tao glanced down, and his eyelids twitched. The entire French Frigate Reef was only estimated to be worth 800 million US dollars, which was simply a bargain.

Putting down the quotation document, Wu Tao smiled confidently: "Everyone, I have made a decision."

On the opposite side, from Governor Neil to Senator Philip, all looked over with concern.

"As for Laisan Island recommended by Senator Philip, after field inspection, I found that the environment is very good and meets all my expectations for a private island. Therefore, Laisan Island is the first one I want to buy."

Philip made up his mind, and Governor Neil and the others had smug smiles on their faces.

Then Wu Tao continued: "In addition, I also want to buy the French Frigate Reef, do you think it is possible?"

Philip looked puzzled. In the matter of purchasing Laysan Island, he had made Wu Tao spend a lot of money in order to show his strength in front of Governor Neil.So he felt a little guilty, and now he found that Wu Tao didn't think it was enough, and he wanted to buy the reef that had nothing.

So when no one was expressing his opinion, he interrupted with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be interested in such a tasteless reef, Dear-Tao, are you sure?" As he spoke, he kept winking at Wu Tao.

Wu Tao nodded and said, "I'm sure."

The other officials suddenly showed ecstatic smiles. The shabby place can sell for 800 million US dollars, which is simply earned for nothing.

While Governor Neil was happy, he did not forget to ask: "Mr. Wu, can I ask why you bought the French Frigate Reef, in my opinion, it does not seem to have the value as a private island."

Wu Tao had already thought of an excuse and said: "Governor Neil, you are right. The French Frigate Reef has more than a dozen small islands. The area is small, too scattered, and the birds are dense. It is suitable as a private island. But there are many birds on Lesan Island. I should always consider a safe place for them. It will prevent the people from the Fauna and Plant Protection Society from pursuing it endlessly and annoying people. "

Governor Neil suddenly realized: "Mr. Wu, he is indeed a conscientious businessman who loves wild animals. How about this? In order to show the sincerity of the state of Hawaii, I decided to erase the package price of these two islands by 300 million US dollars, a total of 500 million US dollars. U.S. dollars. Mr. Wu, what do you think?"

"Then thank you, Governor Neil." Wu Tao was delighted in his heart, panicked, and actually saved 300 million US dollars.The absolute value of this panic!
Soon the two parties began to sign the relevant procedures for the transfer of the island. After exchanging signatures and having them notarized by a professional lawyer, Wu Tao looked at the two contracts in his hand and secretly sighed in his heart. The plan for the technology island can finally be put into practice.

Governor Neal came to Philip, who was still confused, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Philip, you did a good job. I will strongly recommend you to the federal government when I have a chance in the future."

"Thank you, Governor Neal."

Then the Auditor General, the Director of the Land Department and the Secretary of State came over one after another, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job, Philip!"

Everyone made no secret of their appreciation for themselves. This was an honor Philip had never received since he entered politics.All this is not only because Wu Tao bought Lai Sang Island, but also because he bought an extra tasteless reef.

After finishing all the formalities, Wu Tao went back to the hotel.Philip caught up and squeezed into his car. In front of An Qi, he couldn't wait to ask: "Dear Tao, why did you spend another 500 million? I know that the reef is not for Laisan at all. The birds of the island consider the way back."

Wu Tao glanced at him sideways, and said earnestly: "Philip, isn't it all for you? Think about it, if I spend the extra 500 million yuan, is it better than you secretly using my 1000 million yuan? value?"

Hearing this, Philip's expression suddenly became disturbed.He suddenly discovered that Wu Tao knew the tricks of the whole thing like the back of his hand.

And as Wu Tao said, he intended to use the inflated 1000 million US dollars to make a good impression in front of the governor, but the effect was not as good as the 500 million that Wu Tao spent.

"Philip, in fact, if you discuss with me in advance, I can save the 500 million. But it doesn't matter, I decided to forgive your self-assertion this time. Use the 500 million to pave the way for you. As long as it is beneficial to you His political career is not wasted."

"Thank you, Dear-Tao." Philip grabbed Wu Tao's hand and said solemnly with sincerity.

Philip left with tears of gratitude, and Wu Tao couldn't help being ecstatic when he opened the two contracts in his hand.Who would have thought that buying this reef, which no one was optimistic about, not only brought thousands of square kilometers of land into the bag, but also gained Philip's gratitude.

This kind of business is definitely a big profit.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
