Chapter 136: Grateful Philip

Early the next morning, Wu Tao and Anqi came to the Hawaii State Government Building. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

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're finally here."

Wu Tao greeted Philip with a smile, only to find that behind him, there were actually a number of officials from the state government greeting him.

These cunning officials are so zealous that they seem to have decided that they are wronged! Wu Tao thought to himself, but on the surface, he was still listening to Philip's introduction in a warm spring.

Philip pointed to the first round Humpty Dumpty with a Mediterranean hairstyle and said, "This is Mr. Neil, the governor of Hawaii." This was followed by the State Comptroller, the Commissioner of Lands, and the Secretary of State.

Wu Tao secretly thought to himself, the head of the state government, except for the deputy governor and the justice, all the others were here.

After a brief greeting, the two sides went to the conference room to sit down, and Philip asked straight to the point: "Dear-Tao, how did you think about the choice of island?" ”

Wu Tao didn't answer and asked, "Can I first look at the island pricing table given by the state government?" ”

Philip's heart tightened, and he glanced at Governor Neil, only to see the latter nodding and saying, "Yes." ”

Then Wu Tao took the document handed by Philip and looked at it, among all the island valuations, the valuation of Lysan Island was the most expensive, as high as 70 million US dollars. According to the international market, the maximum is 60 million US dollars, so this price is a bit inflated. It should be that the other party calculated that he would buy Laisan Island, so he deliberately raised it.

Wu Tao continued to look down, and the price of Nihua Island was the second, but it was only 30 million US dollars. This price obviously does not have much moisture, which also confirms his inference.

Glancing at Philip casually, this guy actually looked uneasy. It seems that eighty percent of Laisang Island was revealed to the state government by him in order to invite credit, and now Wu Tao has been slow to say his choice, which makes him, who was originally determined, begin to become nervous.

Then Wu Tao's eyes swept down, and his eyelids jumped, the entire French Friggate Reef was only estimated at eight million US dollars, which was simply a big bargain.

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

Across the street, from Governor Neil to Councillor Philip, they all looked at each other with concern.

"For Lysan Island, which was recommended by Councillor Philippe, I have done a field trip and the environment is indeed very good, and it meets all my expectations of a private island. So Lysan Island, was the first one I wanted to buy. ”

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

Wu Tao then continued: "In addition, I also want to buy the French frigate reef vein, do you think it's okay?" ”

Philip looked confused, in the purchase of Lysan Island, in order to show himself in front of Governor Neil, he had already made Wu Tao spend more money. So he felt a little guilty in his heart, and now he found that Wu Tao was not enough, and he even wanted to buy the reef vein that he had nothing.

So when no one was commenting, he smiled and intervened: "I didn't expect you to be interested in such a chicken reef vein, dear-tao, are you sure?" As he spoke, he kept glaring at Wu Tao.

Wu Tao nodded and said, "I'm sure." ”

The other officials immediately showed ecstatic smiles, that place can be sold for eight million dollars, it is simply earned for nothing.

Governor Neil was delighted and asked, "Mr. Wu, may I ask why you bought the French Frigate Reef Vein, which seems to me to have no value as a private island." ”

Wu Tao had already thought of an excuse and said, "Governor Neil, you're right. The French Frigate Reef, with more than a dozen small islands, is not large, too scattered, and densely populated with birds, and is not suitable for private islands at all. But there are also a lot of birds on Lysan Island, so I should always think of a safe place for them. Lest the group of people from the Animal and Plant Protection Society pursue it in the future, which will be endless and annoying. ”

Governor Neil suddenly realized: "Mr. Wu, he is indeed a conscientious businessman who loves wild animals. So, in order to show the good faith of the state of Hawaii, I have decided to wipe out the three million dollars for the two islands, for a total of 75 million dollars. Mr. Wu, what do you think? ”

"Then thank you, Governor Neil." Wu Tao was secretly happy in his heart, and he panicked, he was able to save three million US dollars. The absolute value of this panic!

Soon the two sides began to sign the relevant procedures for the transfer of the island, and after exchanging signatures and notarizing them by a professional lawyer, Wu Tao looked at the two contracts in his hand, and sighed secretly in his heart, the plan of the science and technology island can finally be put into practice.

Governor Neil came to Philip, who was still confused, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Philip, this is a good job. I would highly recommend you to the federal government when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

"Thank you, Governor Neil."

Then the Comptroller, the Commissioner of Lands, and the Secretary of State came over to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, Philip!" ”

Everyone made no secret of their appreciation, an honor that Philip had never received since he entered politics. All this is not only because Wu Tao bought Laisang Island, but also because he bought an extra reef vein.

After completing all the formalities, Wu Tao went back to the hotel. Philip caught up, squeezed into his car, and in front of Anqi, he couldn't wait to ask, "Dear-Tao, why did you spend another five million?" I know that the reef vein is not a way back for the birds of Lysan Island at all. ”

Wu Tao glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said seriously: "Philip, aren't I doing all this for you?" Think about it, if I spend the extra five million, is it more valuable than you secretly using my ten million? ”

When Philip heard this, his face suddenly became uneasy. He suddenly found that Wu Tao knew everything about this whole thing.

And as Wu Tao said, he intended to use this inflated $10 million to make a good impression in front of the governor, but the result was not as good as the five million that Wu Tao spent.

"Philip, in fact, if you had discussed with me beforehand, I could have saved the five million. But it doesn't matter, I've decided to forgive you for making it to yourself. Use those five million to pave the way for you. As long as it's good for your political career, it's not a waste. ”

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

Philip left gratefully, Wu Tao opened the two contracts in his hand, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart. Who would have thought that buying this reef vein, which no one is optimistic about, will not only pocket thousands of square kilometers of land, but also exchange Philip's gratitude.

This kind of business is definitely profitable.
