Chapter 14: The Predator's Gaze
In addition, some sections of the farm will also be renovated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This farm has been on the farm for many years, and many sections of the cement road are cracked, which is not only unsightly, affects the vision, but also has safety hazards.
Zhou Yu had already noticed it.
Also, the irrigation facilities of the farm, Andrew also mentioned to Zhou Yu, there is obvious aging, some places have been broken, and they have to rely on manual watering, and Old John loses money every year and has not been renovated in recent years. Zhou Yu decided to update the entire irrigation system, which is not a small project.
In addition, the sign at the gate of the farm is still the same as before. I've been saying I'm going to replace it earlier, but I'm always involved in such and such things, and I haven't had time to do it.
Now there's time.
Also, the beach.
I walked with Lin Quan on the beach that day, and during this time, whenever I was free, Zhou Yu would go to the beach for a walk. Push the old man and enjoy the peace and expanseness.
In order to better enjoy the sea view in the future, Zhou Yu feels that the beach should be renovated.
A few days ago, Zhou Yu found some beach supplies in the utility room, such as reclining chairs, such as parasols, and grills. But it's very old, and I don't know when John Sr. bought it. And it looks like it hasn't been used in a while.
These have to be bought new.
He told Hank that he had something, and it wasn't for nothing.
Indeed, there are a lot of trivial things that haunt me. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you don't solve it, you're always stumbling in your heart.
After sorting out all kinds of thoughts one by one, Zhou Yu went out and prepared to go to Lin Quan to discuss with him the specific details of spending money.
As soon as I went out, I saw Christina coming towards me.
A beautiful figure, ********, walking, shaking and shaking, with that blonde hair, it is really dazzling tight.
"Week."
Krestina approached, put her hands in her trouser pockets, and stopped Zhou Yu for a while. The flat shoes she wore today, Zhou Yu was finally able to talk to her on an equal footing.
"Something?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking.
"Of course there is." Krystina made a gesture of please: "Don't you invite me in and sit?" ”
"That..." Zhou Yu was going to find Lin Quan, but seeing this, he had to say, "Please." ”
The two entered the house and sat down in the living room.
"What about your grandfather?" Krestina looked around.
"Went to Seatok with the babysitter." Zhou Yu replied: "Just say something." ”
During this time, the old man was already familiar with the farm, and gradually spread his footprints outward. In the last few days, I have found some talking people in the town, and most of the time, I can't see the shadow of the old man at home.
Zhou Yu has learned that there are five or six families of Chinese immigrants in the town, in the same community. Among them, there are two old men, who are about the same age as the old man, and they can talk together.
Zhou Yu was happy about this. It's a good thing that the old man can find a companion.
"Am I not pretty?" Krystina was suddenly a little annoyed: "You don't want to talk to me like that? ”
To say that Krestina is in love with Zhou Yu, it is impossible. As a woman with good looks and education, she hasn't fallen in love with a man immediately when she sees him.
I just feel as if I've been neglected, I've been hated, and there's a sense of resentment.
Zhou Yu smiled: "No, how could it be." ”
With a snort, Krestina pursed her lips and said, "I came to you today not because of the progress of research on special substances. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he became slightly curious.
Before Christina came to annoy him every day, she seemed to be sure that Zhou Yu knew the inside story of the so-called special substance. This is also the reason why Zhou Yu doesn't want to stay with this woman!
I didn't expect that today she didn't even ask about special substances.
"So, ma'am, what are you coming to me for?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but say.
"Maybe it's your luck, maybe..." she glanced at Zhou Yu meaningfully, revealing a hint of seductive style: "But because of special material reasons, you made money, right?" ”
"Yes." There's nothing bad about that. Krestina has been on the farm ever since the research site was set up on the farm. You don't need to ask much about what is happening on the farm, you can know by heart.
"Your money is in Citibank, right?" Christina said again.
"What are you asking for?" Zhou Yu frowned.
"Don't get me wrong." Krestina hurriedly said, "I'm here today as a representative of the Bank of America to discuss business with you. ”
"Bank of America?" Zhou Yu was inexplicable and said, "How did you become the representative of the Bank of America?" ”
"Mr. Zhou doesn't need to understand this." Krestina sat up straight, her legs together, and her hands on her knees: "On behalf of the Bank of America, I now invite Mr. Zhou, hoping that Mr. Zhou will be able to dump the Bank of America." ”
"Dump..."Zhou Yu understood.
It was probably because he saw that he had made a lot of money, and he wanted to transfer from Citibank to Bank of America. Isn't this how banks make money?
"Don't need it, right? I also have a good deposit in Citibank..."Zhou Yu said.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou doesn't know some internal things in the United States..."Kristina's eyes flashed, and she smiled: "Does Mr. Zhou know about the American consortium?" ”
"Consortium..."Zhou Yu's brows furrowed even deeper: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"The American consortium is divided into regions. California, on the other hand, is the territory of the California consortium. Mr. Zhou does business on the territory of the California consortium, but does not deal with the California consortium, I am afraid that many people will be unhappy. ”
Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Bank of America is the bank of the California consortium?" And Citibank is not? ”
"Correct." Christina said: "Mr. Zhou's farm is too profitable, if it is just an ordinary farm, it will not attract the attention of the consortium. But Mr. Zhou, you just came to the United States, and in less than two months, you have earned hundreds of millions of dollars, which has attracted the attention of many people. ”
"You need a backer, or an umbrella. And the California consortium is your best bet. ”
“...”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu slowly leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
The encounter in China actually made Zhou Yu feel insecure all the time. He had been waiting, or anxiously waiting for something to happen.
Now, it's finally in front of you.
Krestina is right, making money on other people's turf, but leaving them aside, is clearly to attract hatred by death!
Although Zhou Yu doesn't seem to have much capital now, his potential is terrifying. The California consortium is not interested.
If Zhou Yu refuses, then it's good, we'll see!
The result is obvious, Zhou Yu will become a loser again!
In Krestina's tone, although it was not explicitly stated, the threat was already expressed. However, what reassures Zhou Yu a little is that the behavior of the California consortium is better than that of Zheng Duo in China.
Krestina just asked Zhou Yu to dump the Bank of America, and did not say that she was going to take away the Jade Seal Farm.
Zhou Yu's mind turned and he opened his eyes: "I can dump the Bank of America, but what guarantee can the California consortium give me?" ”
"Mr. Zhou is thinking too much." "Mr. Zhou is not a member of the California Consortium, and the California Consortium is under no obligation to make any guarantees to Mr. Zhou. The dump can only make Mr. Zhou's behavioral restrictions on this land appropriately reduced. ”
"What's the use of that?" Zhou Yu couldn't help pursing his lips.
"Of course it works, at least, there will be no obvious enemy against Mr. Zhou." Christina said as a matter of course.
"There are no obvious enemies ..."
Zhou Yu took a slight breath and suddenly smiled: "Okay, I agreed to the dump." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang.
An unexpected name appears on the screen - Smith.
"Smith... Citibank..."Zhou Yu and Kristina looked apologetically, picked up the phone, walked to the side, and pressed answer.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, do you remember me? Smith. ”
Smith's voice came: "Citibank's Smith." ”
"Yes, I remember." Zhou Yu said: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Smith?" ”
"Of course." Smith smiled heartily and praised him: "Mr. Zhou's worth has more than increased tenfold in just two months, and his ability to make money really amazes me." ”
Zhou Yu was noncommittal: "So, what does Mr. Smith want to say?" ”
"I think, someone should come to Mr. Zhou and ask Mr. Zhou to dump, right?" Smith said, "Mr. Zhou, you need to make a wise choice. ”
"So, what does it mean to make a wise choice?" Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed.
"The California consortium is in decline." Smith said bluntly: "Although California is the territory of the California consortium, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want..."
"But Mr. Smith, I'm in California." Zhou Yu's tone was very heavy: "I'm just a farmer... Mr. Smith, you're right, someone has come to me and asked me to dump the Bank of America. Sorry, I can't say no. ”
Smith was silent for a moment and smiled, "Well, that's a pity. ”
"Yes, it's a pity. But I'm sorry. ”
"So... We look forward to working together in the future. Smith finished and hung up.
Pinching his phone, Zhou Yu turned around and met Krestina's gaze: "I refuse them." ”
"Uh-huh." Krystina smiled.
"I'm just a little farmer." Zhou Yu sat down again: "I don't want to get involved in any messy things, I like a peaceful life." ”
"Ms. Christina, if possible, of course, maybe I don't have the capital right now." Zhou Yu was serious, with some confidence on his face: "But I believe that you can see the potential of my farm." Money, for me, is not hard to earn. Maybe in a few years, there will be billions, tens of billions. ”
"If the California consortium can give me some assurances, then I can pay the price."
Krestina stretched out her hand: "Of course, the potential of Mr. Zhou's farm, I see it every day. The change of the soil is slowly expanding every day. Maybe it won't be long before the entire farm, more than 8,000 acres, will become like that. When the time comes, money will indeed be nothing to you. ”
"You don't know how much of an impact your fruit has had on the upper classes!" Christina suddenly said, "I also like to eat, every day is essential!" ”
After saying this, she and Zhou Yu's hands shook together: "What you just said, I can understand that you want to get closer or join the California consortium?" ”
"If you can." Zhou Yu used force on his hands.
"You're welcome."
The two hands clasped together and shook it.
