The first guest to arrive was an old friend of Wincart, Old Tom Blackbeard.

What an unpretentious name, the authenticity of the old man did not match his nickname, not a blackbeard at all, but a big white beard like Wincart.

It is said that old Tom had a big beard and swarthy in his youth, so he earned himself such a nickname.

"Emperor Wu, I've seen you in the newspapers. Old Tom gave him a warm hug as soon as they met.

Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Uncle, our Chinese surname is in the first place, so we should be called Emperor Wu." ”

Old Tom laughed in a voice similar to that of Uncle Greg, hoarse and rough.

"I see, tomorrow summer I plan to take my wife to Australia for a trip to taste the world's most delicious beef. ”

"We'll see. ”

Old Tom and Wincart would play chess as soon as they met, and they would always sit in the courtyard for an afternoon with the chessboard, drinking wine and playing chess, and occasionally getting into an emotional fight.

The second to come to the ranch was a family of four, authentic Texas farmers who grow soybeans and cotton on the Sas Plains, 50 kilometers away.

The middle-aged farmer couple had twin sons.

The farmer, who drives an old-school crimson pickup, expressed interest in Emperor Wu and welcomed his beef to Texas because he grew soybeans and cotton, so there was no competitive pressure.

He even encouraged Emperor Wu to buy a ranch in Texas, so that the gang of the Animal Husbandry Association would have no right to interfere.

"It's a good idea, but we don't have that much energy to manage. Kebi nodded earnestly, she was now the boss of the South Australian Army.

"There are a lot of farms and ranches in Northwest Texas that can't be sustained, and they are eager to be bought by rich people one day, and maybe your arrival has given them hope. ”

In fact, as the farmer said, more than half of the first people to party were from the northwest, eager for their small plot of land to be visible to the wealthy Australians and free themselves from the pressure of bank loans.

"I already owe $80,000 to the old bank, and if I don't pay it back by June next year, then I'll have to leave the land I've lived on for decades, which sounds frustrating, right?"

A fat man with a Mediterranean haircut said wistfully.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, about 30 people came first, they gathered to drink juice and chat, all of them were supporters of Emperor Wu, hoping that this Australian Chinese who broke into North America could help them get out of the quagmire.

Emperor Wu pulled Kaibi aside, "Do you think we will be the saviors of those ranchers?" ”

Kebi shook his head, "I don't think it's worth doing, we can go back to Australia and buy a few ranches to expand at this time, in Texas? I think it's too far away." ”

"But the problem now is that these ranchers are on our side because we're their potential financiers, and when they realize we're not saviors, they're probably going to leave and look for the next person who can save their business." ”

Emperor Wu nodded, this little girl is very business-minded, in fact, it is a very simple thing.

But the problem is, Emperor Wu needs the support of those small and medium-sized ranchers, otherwise it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Texas.

The Texas Livestock Association's vote is critical and can even influence the state government's decision.

"My dear, I have an idea, we can set up a fund with some of the money to support families who are on the verge of bankruptcy, and replace them with bank loans in exchange for some shares. ”

Kaibi and others have a good idea, this is the "drainage incident" that year, Emperor Wu encircled the small and medium-sized farmers and ranchers in Xini, and it was the relief fund that avoided the bankruptcy of hundreds of farms and ranches.

Now in North America, he plans to repeat the old tricks, probably only need to spend less than five million dollars to solve these problems, and he can also get some equity in the farm, although it is not much money, but in exchange for the trust of the people of Texas. As long as you can successfully obtain the right to import and export, the money invested can be easily earned.

"My dear, you must announce it in public at tonight's party, so that those drunken uncles will feel the care of Australia. ”

Emperor Wu looked at Kaibi with satisfaction, touched her face and said, "My little lady, how about we go to the wilderness tonight for the next field battle, breathe in the fresh air of the suburbs of Texas, and maybe make a little princess out." ”

Kaibi blushed slightly and patted him, "I don't want to walk around the school with a big belly." ”

In the afternoon, more and more people came, and the open space was full of cars.

Weincart said his ranch had never seen so many people.

"My nephew is a clever ghost, but I didn't expect to make a name for himself. Winkat smiled and shook his head.

Emperor Wu would not use the venue in vain, and he planned to pay Winkat 20,000 US dollars. Wincart heard that it was his nephew Jimmy's boss, and he didn't plan to charge for it, but after some excuses, he decided to charge $10,000.

In fact, the wine prepared alone is worth thousands of dollars, and according to the standard of a hundred people, at least fifty bottles of wine should be hoarded, and there must be some grade wine, which is not a small amount.

At six o'clock in the evening, people kept appearing at the ranch, and people came and went.

The ranch at Weincart has all the outdoor lights turned on, just like Christmas.

The violinist plays a melodious melody live, and the water column of the large fountain in the center is more than five meters high.

The children play under the leadership of Wu Youyou, she has a talent for taking care of children, and she has become a big sister, and the children listen to her very much.

The guests were registered at the door, and from it you could see the origins of all the people, most of whom were small and medium-sized ranchers from all over Texas.

The arrival of Emperor Wu undoubtedly brought competitive pressure to the large ranches, and they would not enthusiastically wait for him to grab the money with open arms. Despite this, the 112 guests were still very unexpected by Emperor Wu, which shows that the pressure he is facing is not too great.

"Lady, are you ready? You're going to have a speech in a moment. Emperor Wu said.

The speech was no longer a difficult thing for Wu Ling, she even liked it, and she was preparing her speech all afternoon, full of confidence.

The Americans are very pompous, so Cabi can't run around with a group of children like Yoyo, she is the boss lady of the South Australian Army, so the two of them hold hands to meet the guests, chat with them, and talk to each other.

Cabi's outstanding appearance attracted a wave of admiration, and even the ladies sighed that some people knew her father's name after hearing it.

"I read in the newspaper that Mr. Moore is one of the candidates for the next Nobel Prize in Medicine, and his new discovery is likely to send damned cancer cells to God. I wish he had been born a few years earlier, so that my mother might have been saved. ”

"Gary Moore, my medical friend told me, is a brilliant biologist, and I look forward to his presentation when he returns from his research ship. ”

Emperor Wu secretly turned his arm against Kaibi, who was about to stiffen in laughter, "I really envy you for having such a respectable father." ”

Kebi smiled, "Your father is also great. ”

Speaking of our beloved Comrade Wu Jianjun, known as "Leader Wu", he was playing chess with Lao Zhangtou under the big banyan tree at the head of the village at this time, and just ate a cannon on the opposite side, excitedly sharing Chinese cigarettes with everyone.
