Chapter 130: The Gambling Contract (Seven Changes)
"Bet, bet on what?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, this person temporarily closed his mouth and asked with some hesitation.
"Bet on the New York Livestock Show in April this year, whose cow can become the king, if your company wins, I personally lose to you a million dollars, if my cattle wins, then I'm sorry, you lose to me a million dollars, if you don't have the money to lose, then you kneel down and kowtow to me three times." Looking at the person in front of him, Jiang Hai smiled disdainfully.
"A million dollars?" Hearing these words, many of the onlookers next to them gasped.
Well, they didn't think about it, they played so big, and many of the onlookers nearby were ordinary farmers, although these people were not poor peasants in the United States, but they were only middle-class, and after the annual tax deduction, it would be good to have 40,000 or 50,000 US dollars left, even if it was a net income of 50,000 US dollars a year, one million would have to be earned back in 20 years, and since the US imperialists began to control the exchange rate of the US dollar, there has never been a problem of inflation.
It is very likely that the value of a million dollars now is not much different from that of ten or twenty years from now.
In other words, this is pure money, and thinking of this, these people all looked at the people of the Colorlight Company here.
In their opinion, this million dollars is almost the net income of Colorlight's company, you know, they have been the king of the New York Livestock Exhibition for three consecutive years, which is almost like giving money.
Obviously, they don't think that Jiang Hai can raise a second-class dealer like Colorette.
But this Colorlight employee didn't think so. The character of this man. Very cautious. He is now motivated by the million dollars now, and secondly, he is also worried about what he will do if he loses.
He definitely can't take out a million dollars, and the company can't pay the other party a million dollars because of himself.
But if you want him to kneel down and kowtow, that means he won't want to say anything.
In the democratic country of US imperialism, although the thing that everyone worships most in their hearts is money. But if they are not forced to give up their self-esteem and kneel down and kowtow, they will not be willing to say anything.
So now he still has some struggles, looking at Jiang Hai's gaze, some hesitation, and some hesitation.
"Hi Paul, what are you hesitating about, this guy is giving you money for free. Is there a reason not to accept it? ”
"Even so, you're too daring. Young man, if he doesn't want to bet with you, I'll bet with you! ”
"One million, what lifetime do you have to earn it back, what is there to hesitate about!" Seeing that he had been hesitating here, there were some people in the crowd who were familiar with him, who had already shouted loudly at this time, and when he heard the words of these people, the person called Paul, hesitated and licked his lips, and his eyes instantly became firm.
"Okay, I'll bet with you!" Looking at Jiang Hai in front of him, Paul here shouted loudly.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai also shrugged his shoulders, he just bet, he was not for the million dollars, but for the sake of fighting for breath.
This guy dares to be arrogant in front of himself, and he doesn't step on him!
After this person agreed, there were good people on the spot who pulled the lawyer here.
After all, this trade fair, the exhibition is on the one hand, and the second is also for sales, since it is sales, then you have to sign a contract.
And when signing the contract, the lawyer must be present, and now the gambling contract between Jiang Hai and this guy named Paul naturally has to be signed by a lawyer to take effect, after the lawyer came to ask the opinions of both parties, he didn't say anything, and directly drafted an agreement, which cannot be said to be a gambling contract here, but can only be said to be an agreement.
Then Jiang Hai and this person also signed their respective agreements, and the two agreed that at the New York Livestock Fair in April this year, if the cattle of the Colorlight Company won the bid, then Jiang Hai would give Paul Caye a million US dollars, which took effect on the spot.
If the cow of Jiang Hai Manor won the bid, then Paul Caye gave Jiang Hai a million US dollars, which took effect on the spot.
There are three copies of the agreement, Jiang Hai and Caye each hold one copy, and the lawyer keeps one copy, after all the things are done, Jiang Hai and Cindy Clive have no idea of looking further, after all, according to Paul Caye's words, 80% of the merchants here are their companies, and Jiang Hai doesn't want to be pointed at by others here, and he can't buy things.
Rather than this, it is better to leave directly, so Jiang Hai did not hesitate and left here directly.
After the two walked out of the exhibition hall, Jiang Hai originally wanted to go home directly, but after looking at the time, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early.
So the idea of going to school, which was originally extinguished, ignited again.
"It's okay right now, anyway, let's go check out the schools around here." Glancing at Cindy Clive, Jiang Hai said to her, and hearing Jiang Hai's words, Cindy, who was still a little worried about whether Jiang Hai would lose, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Looks like you're not very concerned about your bet this time, okay, let's go." Shaking her head slightly, Cindy Clive smiled softly at Jiang Hai, and then the two stepped into the car parked at the entrance of the exhibition and headed towards Cambridge.
Cambridge is a city, although in a broad sense, it is divided into Boston, but in terms of geography and city reporting, it is two completely different cities from Boston, opposite Boston across the Charles River.
However, although this city is not large, and the population is only about 100,000, it is quite famous in the United States and even in the world, because there are two universities here, two super universities, one of which is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
And the other university is Harvard University, this giant in the field of education, other schools have produced an American president, and they can't wait for the whole world to know, but this university has produced eight American imperialist presidents, among which the current president O'Bama came out of this university, and the Nobel Prize has won hundreds of thousands, millions here.
Well-known alumni, such as Bill Gates and Roosevelt, have studied here, and of course, everyone knows that Bill Gates is not a good student, but who makes people famous.
drove the car, and after a short time, the two came to this famous school, but to be honest, when he walked into this school, Jiang Hai didn't feel anything different, it may be because he really has no love for learning, or it may be because it is winter and there is snow everywhere, of course, it may also be because it is a holiday, and there are not many students who can be seen in the school, so what he has seen in the novel before, what is the academic atmosphere, the ethereal school that shocks the soul, What touches people's cultural literacy and the like, there is no ...... at all
Jiang Hai just walked around, and at the same time saw some landmark buildings, so he used his mobile phone to take a photo with them, and sent it to the circle of friends, recently he is almost not on QQ, more is to use WeChat, and his friends in WeChat, hehe, there are really few, in addition to his few friends, there are only a few junior high school and high school classmates who are almost no longer in contact, together, that is, more than a dozen people, it looks really lonely.
"Phew, it's time for us to go." After taking the last photo, Jiang Hai couldn't help but glance at the time, although he didn't like to go to school, but since he did, he had to walk around the places he should go, so unconsciously, although he was just visiting the main campus, it took him nearly two hours, there was no way, Harvard is indeed not small, the entire campus has an area of 4882 acres, and the main campus alone has 224 acres, in the main campus, they walked around for nearly an hour, and the other places were only roughly seen, and the sky was already a little dark, Glancing at the time on the phone, it was already half past four in the afternoon, Jiang Hai exhaled a hot breath and said to Cindy Clay.
Just now he had received a call from Robbins to come over, and they had already returned home, as for the task given to them by Jiang Hai, lobsters, there was naturally no problem, and their luck was quite good today, not only caught the lobster that Jiang Hai wanted, but also caught a lot of shrimp, crabs and other things, and also let Jiang Hai's fishermen have a preliminary understanding of Jiang Hai's fishing grounds.
At a time when natural resources are extremely scarce outside, Jiang Hai is really a paradise here.
However, Jiang Hai is not the only one who wants to enter heaven.
Robbins also told Jiang Hai that when they were inspecting today, they saw a fishing boat from a distance, but when the fishing boat saw Robbins and them, it quickly fled, but it also reminded Jiang Hai that it seemed that someone had already targeted his fishing ground, and it was okay to use a boat to inspect, but after all, it took too long and it was easy for others to take advantage of it.
After Jiang Hai answered the phone, he was already thinking about buying an airplane, helicopters and small agricultural planes, even if it was for inspection, it was worth buying this thing.
Of course, even if he wants to buy it, he will have to talk about it tomorrow, and he still has customers today.
"yes, okay." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Cindy Clive, who had just helped Jiang Hai take a picture on the other side, also smiled and said, and then walked behind Jiang Hai towards the outside of the school, but just as the two walked out of the school gate, suddenly a somewhat reckless figure rushed over from the side of the street in the distance, Jiang Hai's reaction was extremely fast, and he dodged away at the first time, but after dodging away, he remembered that Cindy Clive was still by his side, so he immediately pulled her again, but it was still a little late, Although he pulled her body over, the person still bumped into her shoulder.
