The aviation industry in the United States is very developed, and most cities have airports, and Midland City naturally has one, although Midland City has a population of only 100,000.

Not only that, but Midland Airport will be the ninth busiest airport in Texas, located fifteen kilometers southwest of Midland, Texas, and close to Ozard.

When Xia Yu got off the plane, he happened to see Bush Jr. standing in the cold wind and waving to him.

Xia Yu waved his hand and quickened his pace.

"Mr. Xia, welcome to Midland!"

"Mr. Bush, please pick me up on such a cold day!"

......

During the greetings, Xia Yu shook hands with Bush Jr. intimately.

"It's a little cold here, let's get in the car first, it will take about 20 minutes to get to the company. ”

"Okay!"

After speaking, Xia Yu and the bodyguards entered several cars arranged by Bush Jr.

Xia Yu naturally sat in the back seat of the car in the middle with Bush Jr.

"Mr. Bush, which shareholders are willing to transfer their equity?"

Xia Yu turned his head to look at Bush Jr. and asked straight to the point.

Bush Jr. smiled and said: "I have approached all the shareholders in the past few days, and finally I have persuaded all the shareholders that they are willing to resell the shares on my behalf." ”

Xia Yu smiled and continued to ask, "How much equity is that, how do you think we should cooperate?"

Bush Jr. obviously had already thought about it, so he said carefully: "I can transfer you 49 percent of the equity, and according to the value of $8 million, you need to pay $3.92 million, and then we will inject a total of $2 million into the company according to the proportion of equity as funds for the company's future development." ”

After listening, Xia Yu did not answer, but looked at Bush Jr. calmly with a smile.

After a while, Bush Jr. seemed a little embarrassed, his eyes were a little wandering, and he asked again: "Mr. Xia, do you have any different opinions?"

Xia Yu smiled and said: "I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive, I like to pursue perfection, especially for numbers, so according to the value of eight million dollars, I will pay four million dollars, you and I each have 50% of the equity, and then we will inject one million dollars each to increase the value of the company to 10 million dollars." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu still looked calm, smiling and looking at Bush Jr., but if you take a closer look, you will find that Xia Yu's smile is a little meaningful.

Bush Jr. is a good person, and there is indeed a ghost in his heart, so he naturally realized that his little trick was seen through by Xia Yu, but Xia Yu saved him face.

(Interestedly, you can figure out what kind of careful thinking is, as well as the mental activity between the two)

His expression stiffened slightly, and in an instant, he became natural, and said enthusiastically: "Since Mr. Xia likes integers, let's do as you say." ”

"Thank you!"

Xia Yu thanked him softly, and then changed the topic and talked about the scenery outside the window.

Looking at Bush Jr., who was talking eloquently, Xia Yu thought in his heart that he would have to convince Bush Jr. later, otherwise it would not be so easy to deepen the relationship between the two after Bush Jr. became more and more old and spicy.

Twenty minutes later, the car came to the parking lot of an office building in Midland, and the group got out of the car and came to the elevator in the underground parking lot.

"Mr. Xia, this is the eastern part of Midland City, and there are basically companies engaged in petroleum-related fields here, and our company is on the sixth floor. ”

While talking, the elevator came down, everyone entered the elevator, Bush Jr.'s subordinates pressed the button on the sixth floor, and then the elevator door closed, and after a while, with a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened again, and everyone walked out.

"This is our company, the company is relatively simple, only fifteen employees, don't think that there are few people, in fact, our company has a lot of people in most of our peers here, because before the oil is extracted, the only business is to rent land, and then hand it over to the explorers to explore the oil. ”

"As long as oil is detected, then the company will naturally expand, and the last thing that Texas lacks is talent in the oil field, and the company expands easily. ”

It seems that he is afraid that Xia Yu will be disappointed by the company's humble scene, and Bush Jr. also explained to Xia Yu in advance and gave him a vaccination.

Xia Yu nodded understandingly and said: "This is a wise approach, only when the oil is explored, the company is valuable, it is too wasteful to hire a lot of irrelevant employees in advance, it is better to use it to explore more land." ”

While talking, the group came to the company, and what caught their eyes was the signboard behind the front desk, which read "Bush Energy Company", and there was a young female employee standing at the front desk.

Bush Jr. smiled and nodded, and then introduced to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, this is Lisa, my secretary and the front desk of the company. ”

......

After entering the company, the scene was as simple as Bush Jr. said, but the office supplies that should be there were still complete.

As for the machines used for exploration and testing, Xia Yu learned that they were in warehouses in the suburbs.

After getting to know the staff, Xia Yu asked George W. Bush to prepare the contract, which he had already prepared and took out immediately.

Later, after confirming that there was no trap, Xia Yu signed the contract, and after signing it, he directly took out a check, wrote a check for five million dollars, and tore it to Bush Jr.

"Mr. Bush, here's a check for five million dollars, from Wells Fargo in California, and you can withdraw it at any time. ”

"Okay!"

Bush Jr. did not doubt it, smiled and took it and carefully put it in his briefcase.

"Mr. Xia, congratulations on becoming partners!"

"I hope we can always have a good time working together from now on!"

"Of course, that's for sure!"

The two shook hands and said.

After sitting down again, George W. Bush asked, "Mr. Xia, do you have any plans now?"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "I haven't seen the process of oil exploration, can you take me to Midland City to see everywhere?"

Of course, Bush Jr. had no opinion on this simple request, and immediately nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem." ”

After speaking, Bush Jr. looked at his watch and said: "It's only 9:52 a.m., let's act as soon as possible, and we can still catch lunch." ”

"Take it!"

......

The pedestrians first came to the Bush Energy Company's warehouse in the suburbs, changed into a jeep commonly used in field exploration, and took two exploration employees, Old Jack and Strong Jim, with them.

As soon as he got in the car, Xia Yu took out a palm-sized, saucer-like thing from his bag, if it was a Chinese person, most people would be able to recognize it, this is a compass!

As soon as this thing was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of George W. Bush, who was sitting next to Xia Yu.

Looking at the reddish-brown compass with a diameter of less than 20 centimeters, and the dense small characters and stripes on the reddish-brown compass, Bush Jr.'s eyes widened and he asked curiously, "Mr. Xia, what is this?"

"Is it a compass?"

"But why aren't there N and S?"

The more Bush looked at it, the more strange it became, this was the first time he had seen such a strange thing, and he didn't know any of the Chinese characters on it.

In fact, don't say that he is an American, even if he is a Chinese, he may not be able to recognize all the words on it when he gets the compass.

Not to mention anything else, not many of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches can recognize all of these twenty-two words.

It is estimated that ordinary people can recognize eight or nine characters such as A, B, C, D.

Looking at the curious little Bush, a strange color flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, and suddenly said to the little bush with a mysterious expression: "Mr. Bush, this thing is not simple, it has a history of thousands of years in our China, it is made by the ancient Chinese people to observe the large system of the universe, combined with the weather, stars, mountains and rivers and other factors, and generally only feng shui masters will use it." ”

"Feng Shui Master, do you understand?"

Bush Jr. can understand a fart, but Xia Yu used a mysterious tone to say thousands of years, the great system of the universe and so on, which made Bush Jr. feel incredible.

As for the feng shui master that Xia Yu said, it was completely translated from Chinese to English, and there was no such word at all.

If you don't understand, you're right!

Seeing that Bush Jr. was obviously attracted to attention, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly, frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "Let me compare it, the feng shui master is like your Western magician and alchemist, with incredible abilities, this compass is the magic props of the feng shui master, just like the witch's magic broom and the alchemist's alchemy furnace." ”

This analogy was vivid enough, and George W. Bush immediately understood it.

It's just that after he understood, he suddenly looked at the compass in Xia Yu's hand with wide eyes, especially the pointer that was still shaking on it, and exclaimed:

"What?"

"Is this a magic item?"

"A mysterious power from the East?"

"Mr. Xia, are you sure you're not joking?"

"We should believe in science!"

Xia Yu immediately retorted unhappily: "Mr. Bush, don't you know that the end of science is theology?"

"Physics and chemistry were developed by alchemists before. “

"And you should know that both Newton and Einstein turned to theology in their later years, and are great physicists like them wrong?"

George W. Bush was immediately shocked, not knowing whether what Xia Yu said was true or false.

As far as he knew, the media did report that Newton and Einstein went to study theology in their later years.

But Xia Yu obviously found that his gaze towards the compass had changed a little, and he had fallen into self-doubt.

"Very good, if you don't flicker in the future, I won't be embarrassed to go back to Xiangjiang if you can't find the north!"

The corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he thought secretly.
