Chapter 209: Donation of the Mansion
"That's good, that's really good!Applause, I really should applaud you!" Edward smiled, and his hands fluttered lightly with a very sincere appearance, making a snapping sound, but the sound seemed to sound like a slap in the face.
"Well, then, there is no ......basis for talking" Kenny doesn't care, he can crawl in the business world for so many years, but such a small scene can be ignored, is it better to be thick-skinned? Kenny, the military advisor, even if he is a behind-the-scenes worker, is not at all comparable to someone of Edward's level.
When the military advisor Kenny said this, his eyes fell on Wei Mingyue's body, and then he said: "Then on behalf of my boss, and me, in order to show our incomparable sincerity, I specially donate the mansion where my boss, Mr. Brand, lives!"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a sensation on the scene, although there were not many people on the scene, but for now, the people here at this time are definitely powerful people who have the power to control the future of this town.
Especially Wei Mingyue!
"Donate, donate a house?" Bai Jingyuan was taken aback, of course, this is based on her three views, a house is such a thing, as long as people who have lived in a certain country in the East for a period of time are extremely aware of its importance, it is simply something that a person must have in a normal life!
Without a house, it is not a complete life.
The house has made countless people work hard, be willing to suffer, suffer incomparably painfully, and taste bitterness all over the place, but in the end they are willing to do it! Therefore, when Bai Jingyuan heard about a house, her whole person suddenly became excited, and she immediately shouted.
"House?" Wei Mingyue frowned, although she was also a person who had lived in a certain country in the East, but after all, this family was born from a different background and had different visions, so this view was naturally different.
Wei Mingyue obviously didn't care much about this, after all, for her, a simple house has never been a problem that has bothered her, and things that are too easy to get will naturally not be cherished.
But Wei Mingyue has one benefit, that is, she can put herself in her shoes and empathize!
In her opinion, the military advisor Kenny was able to take out Brand's mansion, which was naturally more sincere, but it was obvious that sincerity was not enough! It was far from enough, not to mention that what he just said was a donation, who was he going to donate to? There is still something particular about this, so Wei Mingyue began to be dissatisfied, and secretly speculated in his heart, what kind of trouble is this guy going to make, didn't he come to show her sincerity? Now another donation has appeared, it should be given to her for nothing!
In this way, it can be regarded as sincerity!
But then again, the area of the Brand's mansion is really not small, and the decoration is quite good, after all, it is a mansion converted from the land received by seven or eight families, and it is basically the number one in this town, right? It's just that it's nothing, haha, after all, if the plan had gone smoothly before, this mansion would have been submerged under the water, and it would be worthless, but now, it seems to have value again, this is a good calculation!" Edward was a man who understood, and after a little thought, he spoke, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was reminding someone.
"I see, I see, I am actually planning to do this, it is simply despicable and shameless, to come up with such a worthless thing, and to lose the righteous and awe-inspiring look you just now, as if you are really thinking about the townspeople, hum!
It is really infuriating to dare to take out such a worthless thing to fool everyone, to be honest, Bai Jingyuan really wants to wave her fist and punch the other party in the face a few times, so that she can really dissipate her anger.
"Donate?" Wei Mingyue said, she seemed to be more concerned about this, and the end point she was concerned about was obviously different from Edward or Bai Jingyuan.
"Naturally, it's a donation!" the military advisor Kenny spoke, but he didn't pay attention to Edward, and even more ignored Bai Jingyuan, his eyes were very vicious, and he had already seen that the real person in charge was Wei Mingyue, so he could completely ignore the others, anyway, he only needed to convince Wei Mingyue to be alone, as for the others, why bother to work that way, thankless.
Edward and Bai Jingyuan didn't speak at this time, and they could see that the other party didn't care about them at all, but they were just waiting for Wei Mingyue to answer the military advisor Kenny.
"To be honest, I really don't like charity! I always feel like a rich person is deliberately putting on a show in order to achieve other purposes! It is full of dirty insiders and deception, which is really unpleasant!" Wei Mingyue said.
"But there will always be people who will get the benefits, right?" Strategist Kenny obviously didn't care about taking such a method, and continued: "If it is a donation, it will naturally be donated to a group or individual who can nominally control and control this town, of course, under normal circumstances, it is the town government of the town, but now ......" Strategist Kenny did not finish speaking, but his eyes fell on Wei Mingyue, and the meaning was very obvious.
The former mayor of the town, Tonyle, left in embarrassment, and the town government was already a virtual entity, so now the only group, or individual, who nominally controls and controls this town, is Wei Mingyue, the acting lord.
As a lord, even though he is only a proxy lord, in fact, legally speaking, he does have such power, and it will never be questioned.
"Dirty deal!" Edward immediately scolded.
"In this way, it is still barely acceptable, but just such a donation is really unsatisfactory, it is like using bread soaked in dirty water to give away!" Bai Jingyuan's face showed a smile, but the greed in her heart would definitely not be satisfied because of this, on the contrary, because of hearing Edward's analysis, her appetite became bigger and bigger.
"Discount!" Wei Mingyue said, concise and to the point, and instantly shocked the scene.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Kenny, the always calm military advisor, was a little less calm all of a sudden, he was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he didn't hear what Wei Mingyue was saying clearly, but he was sure immediately, because Wei Mingyue repeated, oh! More accurately, he should continue to speak.
"It's best not to go to a local account, I have a personal ** account in the country of banks!" Wei Mingyue said without the slightest concealment, the atmosphere on the scene froze again, and changed in an extremely strange direction.
Bai Jingyuan's eyes widened, with a look of great surprise, as if it was the first time she met Wei Mingyue, and she didn't expect her to have such a side at all.
Edward's mouth couldn't help but fall downward, his eyes were very strange, and he was also looking at Wei Mingyue, it was hard to imagine that she would say such words.
It's too straightforward, it's too obvious, it's too much, there's wood, there's wood, is this a clear request for a bribe? It's too direct, it's okay, can you cover it up a little, can you!
Even if you don't plan to have a face, but the other people on the scene still need to save a little face, and besides, you said it so directly, what will happen if this word gets out?
What will happen?
What will happen?
Suddenly, several people present thought about it quickly, but they came to such a conclusion together, in fact...... Not so good!
It can't be any better!
Wei Mingyue is not the mayor of the town, nor is he a civil servant, nor is he the leader or leader of any group organization, nor is he supervised by any institution or organization, and at the same time, he will not be affected.
She is an individual, an individual with the title of lord, although she is an agent, but she is also a lord! And what kind of existence is a lord, in the medieval era, and even nearly a hundred years ago, he was the only master of a piece of land he owned, and had the power of legislation, justice, and law enforcement, it can be said that he has all the power as one, unless it is a rebellion, overthrown by force, otherwise his rule will not produce any wavering!
Of course, the leader from above will only defend his rights and interests, and only need him to fulfill his obligations.
Then the conclusion comes!
Asking for a bribe or something, it's not a matter for the lord at all, and even saying that even the description of asking for a bribe is wrong, in fact, it should be a gift, by the way, it's a gift!
What kind of bribery, such a thing does not exist in a lord, and such a thing is not a matter for a lord at all, and there is no institution to supervise such an act.
It's perfectly legitimate, reasonable, and reasonable!
It's just that, of course, this was in the Middle Ages, and even nearly a hundred years ago.
So what now?
What is this situation?
Bai Jingyuan doesn't know very well, she really knows less about the West, especially this kind of thing that is related to historical legacies and related to law, which is very deep, and probably even legal scholars and experts can't explain clearly.
Edward's mind is full of mud, at this time he also seems to be unable to figure out this situation, it is really difficult to deal with it, is there such a law, is there such an institution to supervise, or to try such a thing?
Is this illegal?
One of the biggest differences between Western laws and Eastern laws is that if there are no prescribed things, then they are all legal! If you exploit the loopholes of the law, you have the ability, and it is still a commendable thing, because in this way, the law can be more perfect!
The laws of the East are the opposite, that is, if there are no legal things, then they are all illegal! If you drill the loopholes of the law, then you are killing yourself, and you will definitely be sent to the class to sit in prison, otherwise how can it reflect the ruthlessness of the law, of course, whether it is necessary to improve this loophole in the end, of course, it is not necessary, because those who dare to drill are already repenting for their actions!
But is that really what it looks like?
What does the real insider look like?
Is it true that the people who make the law are not aware of the relevant legal loopholes?
What is the answer?
Not all those who exploit legal loopholes have been punished, but in fact those who have been punished are only those who do not know what is going on and are self-righteous, and such guys are actually self-inflicted! They are completely unaware that only those who can actually exploit legal loopholes are those who are truly insiders......
So who is in the know?
There is no doubt that they are the people.
Edward didn't know this, so he would be distressed, otherwise he only needed to know what kind of backstage, background, and background Wei Mingyue had!
There was no need for Edward to meditate on the laws he knew about to find possible violations.
"Yes!" After a moment of silence, the military advisor Kenny said a little helplessly, Wei Mingyue's directness is really too direct, it is even more direct than Westerners, doesn't it mean that Easterners are very graceful?
"Let's just follow the market price! I won't bargain, I hope it's a satisfactory price!" Wei Mingyue said.
Suddenly, Kenny couldn't help but want to vomit, what kind of words were he saying, the previous words were quite good, but the last sentence was about to make people vomit blood.
What is the price of a satisfactory price, are you going to let people guess?
Is this still based on the market price?
In fact, according to the market price, the mansion is actually four or five hundred thousand euros in price, although the area is larger, and the decoration is good, but it is like this, all manors of this kind can actually meet the above two points, but in terms of location, in terms of architectural structure, not to mention any historical value, it is simply not comparable with other tall manors, and therefore the small town merchant Brande will not care at all that the mansion is flooded, and the value itself is not high is also an important aspect, of course, it is more important because compared to what he gets, it is simply not the same day!
Of course, the price of four or five hundred thousand is actually overestimated, in fact, in the current situation that even if you want to sell it, but absolutely no one will take over, I am afraid that you can't even sell it at half the price.
Basically, no outsiders come here to buy a mansion.
Although the scenery of the town is good, the location is really remote, and it has the same scenery, and there are countless mansions with quite good locations.
In contrast, the odds of a possible sale are even slimmer.
And now the situation of the town is very sluggish, young people leave the town into the big city, and finally settle in it, less than one in ten young people come back, even if the town is not flooded in the next few decades, and when the older generation basically dies, this place will still be forgotten by people, to be swallowed by time.
The town is still doomed to disappear, but it is a little more relaxed than the ending of being flooded, but it is even more bleak!
It's like a brave soldier dying on the battlefield, as heroic as a brilliant firework!
The lonely old man will be swallowed up by the years, silently buried in the loess, desolate as snow.
The military advisor Kenny's heart was deeply amazed by Wei Mingyue's ruthlessness, and at the same time, he also felt that he had underestimated the other party because the other party had seen through his own means.
Then you should also give enough respect.
Then the military advisor Kenny stretched out his palm, came to Wei Mingyue, and said, "Then in order to show respect for you, let's follow the Eastern method, right?"
The Eastern approach?
Hearing this, whether it was Wei Mingyue, Bai Jingyuan or Edward, they were all stunned, but Wei Mingyue was well-informed, and in the end she was a famous child who had received elite education, she looked at the gestures made by the military advisor Kenny, and after a little thought, she understood, and then also stretched out her palm and shook it lightly with the other party, and then the palms of the two people quickly moved to the bottom of the table.
"What is this for?" Bai Jingyuan looked completely unincomprehensible.
"This is ......" Edward seemed to remember something, at his age, even a Westerner knew more than Bai Jingyuan, but his memory was very vague, and at the same time it was very fragmented, there was a little memory, but it was only that.
"Is this a sleeve swallowing gold? haha, I didn't expect that someone would use this now, hehe, it's really interesting, and it's a Westerner and an Oriental girl!" Suddenly, someone interjected, very excited and happy, and instantly attracted the attention of Bai Jingyuan and Edward, and at the same time, the two of them were stunned by what the other party said.
An old man from the East didn't know when he stood behind the sofa, looking at this side with interest, and when he noticed that he suddenly spoke, which attracted the gaze of Bai Jingyuan and Edward, he smiled apologetically, and then said: "I'm sorry, there was no one when I came in, so I didn't report it, I'm sorry, please don't be surprised!"
