Chapter 49: The Visit
On the evening of July 3, Zhou Rui invited Wang Kui and Xie Dong to have a big meal at the Nine Star Hotel, and then returned to the annex in the west of the city.
Wang Kui and Xie Dong won three consecutive victories because of the bet on Zhou Rui, and the last one won 4,000 silver coins, but when Wang Kui and Xie Dong saw Zhou Rui, they all cried and regretted betting less.
You must know that betting on Zhou Rui to win three consecutive victories, the odds are one to four, even if Wang Kui and Xie Dong are not rich in their hands, in fact, one or twenty thousand silver coins can still be taken out.
Zhou Rui didn't sympathize with Wang Kui and Xie Dong, and he didn't forget to show off with the two of them during the meal and won tens of millions of silver coins.
Since you've won so much, we don't have to be polite to you.
When Wang Kui and Xie Dong ordered, they only picked the expensive ones, and the last meal cost Zhou Rui 8,000 silver coins, which was more than Zhou Rui's banquet at noon for Shen Zhi, the commander of the Third Division, and Sun Quan, the city lord.
Zhou Rui entered the courtyard, and Li Donghu greeted him, "Major General, the injuries of the three brothers are fine, they are drinking with Xiong Da and the other four brothers, do you see them now?" β
"Where are they in the yard, I'll go and see them."
In a room on the left side of the courtyard, Zhou Rui saw Niu Ben, Niu Heng and Niu Zhang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and were pushing glasses and changing lamps on the wine table with Xiong Da and their four brothers, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
I can't see that they are still fighting to the death in the morning.
Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang saw Zhou Rui walk in, and they all stood up stiffly.
Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiong San, and Xiong Si, who were full of alcohol, also hurriedly stood up and greeted Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui first inquired about Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Xiong Si's injuries, and learned that none of their injuries were serious, so he smiled and said to Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang: "Do you three brothers have any opinions on following me in the future?" β
Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang looked at each other, and then Niu Ben said: "Since we have signed a life and death fight, and our skills are not as good as others, our three brothers have nothing to say, and we are willing to recognize the young general as the master in the future."
However, the deed of sale of our three brothers is still in the hands of the eldest young master of the Yan family. β
Zhou Rui suddenly took out three pieces of paper from his coat pocket, "That Boss Yan is quite particular, and he sent someone to hand over the deed of sale of your three brothers to me in the afternoon."
But Xiong Da, they should have introduced to you what kind of person I, Zhou Rui, are. β
Saying that, Zhou Rui put the deed of sale of Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang on the table, "If the three of you are really willing to stay by my side, you will all be my Zhou Rui's brothers in the future."
If you don't want to stay, you can leave with the contract of sale now, even if you go back to that Boss Yan. β
Although the movie scene of buying people's hearts is clichΓ©, the three brothers Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang really eat this set.
After being shocked, excited, and confused, Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang all expressed their willingness to stay and serve as Zhou Rui's bodyguard.
In this way, Zhou Rui has three more grandmaster-level bodyguards around him, and the strength of Niu Ben and his three brothers, if they fight alone, is not much weaker than Xiong and their four brothers.
Zhou Rui chatted with Niu Ben, Niu Heng, and Niu Zhang for a while, and then left the left courtyard.
Zhou Rui looked at Li Donghu who was following him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Black Tiger, find a room where there is no one, I have something to tell you." β
Li Donghu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Major General, there are no people living in the two rooms in front. β
In a room in the main courtyard, Zhou Rui said to Li Donghu in a deep voice: "Black Tiger, I am going to transfer some people from the second, third and fourth regiments to form the Fifth Infantry Regiment to take over the Three Towns Oilfield.
Commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment, I am ready for you to be in the position. β
When Li Donghu heard this, he was first shocked, and then said with an embarrassed face: "Major General, I'm worried that I can't do a good job, and I don't know how to manage the oil field!" β
Zhou Rui said: "For the operation and management of the oilfield, I will choose another person, and your task is to ensure that the oilfield is not robbed."
After all, the Three Towns Oilfield is located at the intersection of the three feudal towns of Fengwu, Huannan, and Rongbei, and although Yan Shaoqiu signed the transfer agreement, it is difficult to guarantee that the Yan family will not commit a black hand to the Three Towns Oilfield in the future.
You must know that the Yan family's influence in Huanan Town and Rongbei Town is not trivial. β
Zhou Rui has actually thought about it, although the Sanzhen Oilfield is now in his hands, but before he has the strength to keep the Sanzhen Oilfield, the real oil reserves of the Sanzhen Oilfield must not be known to others.
Next, after Zhou Rui takes over the Three Towns Oilfield, he will only maintain the status quo of the Three Towns Oilfield.
Li Donghu was still a little hesitant, "Major General, I'm ...... Can I do it? β
Zhou Rui patted Li Donghu on the shoulder, "Black Tiger, the Three Towns Oilfield will be very important to our Zhou family in the future, so I have to send someone who can be trusted to help me guard the Three Towns Oilfield." β
Hearing Zhou Rui say this, Li Donghu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Young General, then I'll go!" β
Early the next morning, Zhou Rui had just gotten up, and Hu Yi came over to tell Yan Shaoqiu that he was visiting.
"Yan Shaoqiu? What did he come to me for? β
Although Zhou Rui didn't know what Yan Shaoqiu's purpose was when he came to find him, it didn't hurt to see him.
"Fox One, invite him to the hall."
"Yes, Major General."
After Yan Shaoqiu saw Zhou Rui, he seemed to have forgotten about losing tens of millions of silver coins to Zhou Rui yesterday, and showed great enthusiasm for Zhou Rui.
"Young Master Zhou, I took the liberty to come here today to send you some information about the Three Towns Oilfield, so that the Zhou family can take over the Three Towns Oilfield."
As soon as Yan Shaoqiu's words fell, one of the bodyguards beside him opened a suitcase full of materials.
Yan Shaoqiu immediately smiled and said to Zhou Rui: "Young Master Zhou, here is all the information of the Three Towns Oilfield.
In fact, I came to Ganyang City this time to prepare to sell the Three Towns Oilfield, so I brought all the information of the Three Towns Oilfield.
It's just that I didn't expect to lose the Three Towns Oilfield to Young Master Zhou, it seems that the word 'gamble' is really harmful.
However, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and if I can get to know Young Master Zhou through this, it's worth it for me to lose. β
Zhou Rui's admiration for Yan Shaoqiu at this time is the five-body throw, if Zhou Rui loses to Yan Shaoqiu tens of millions of silver coins, Zhou Rui must be eager to take a knife and slaughter Yan Shaoqiu, how can he still talk and laugh with Yan Shaoqiu here!
"Boss Yan is magnificent, I have accepted all the information of the three towns oilfield, and it can be regarded as a favor owed to Boss Yan by Zhou Rui."
"Hehe, Young Master Zhou will see you when she says this, I will first give Young Master Zhou a general introduction to the situation of the Three Towns Oilfield, so that Young Master Zhou can be prepared to take over the Three Towns Oilfield."
According to Yan Shaoqiu's introduction, there are currently more than 5,000 workers in the Three Towns Oilfield, of which the large oil refinery accounts for more than half.
In addition, there are more than 100 technicians, more than 30 managers and more than 200 security personnel in the Three Towns Oilfield.
In the area where the large oil refinery is located, a small town has been formed, with about four thousand family members, who live in this town all year round.
The technicians and managers were originally humans living in the Red Tiger Empire, and were later recruited by the Tiger Clan merchant to the Three Towns Oilfield.
Almost all of these technicians and managers came to the Three Towns Oilfield with their families.
You must know that the six major beast countries have always restricted the immigration of humans in the country, and the situation of humans in the six major beast countries is not good, so even if the Three Towns oil field was sold by his sons after the death of the tiger merchant, none of these technicians and managers were willing to return to the Red Tiger Empire.
finally got out of the tiger's mouth, who is willing to take his family and go back to be a third-class citizen.
Yan Shaoqiu said to Zhou Rui with a smile: "It's not a secret, when I left the Colosseum yesterday, I really thought about whether to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle for the Three Towns Oilfield and take away the more than 100 technicians and more than 30 management personnel."
Presumably, without the more than 100 technicians and more than 30 management personnel, it would be very difficult for the Three Towns Oilfield to operate, especially the large refinery. β
Zhou Rui asked curiously, "Why did Boss Yan change his mind again?" β
Yan Shaoqiu smiled again, "Our Yan family is a businessman, and we have always believed in one more friend and one more way.
Besides, yesterday's gambling game was originally provoked by my side, and I can't complain about Young Master Zhou if I lose.
Now that Young Master Zhou has taken power, the strength of the Zhou family has soared, and the scale of the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City has been among the best in the entire Han and Tang Empires.
If our Yan family wants to develop in Fengwu Town in the future, we have to trouble Young Master Zhou to take care of it. β
After Yan Shaoqiu said goodbye and left, Hu Yi couldn't help but say to Zhou Rui: "Young General, this Yan Shaoqiu is definitely a powerful person. β
Zhou Rui nodded sympathetically, "It's true that he is not an ordinary person, anyway, I can't do him like this." β
