Subtitle of this chapter: Who can interrupt Lao Tzu pretending?

But when a smart person understands, he understands, and when he says it, he falls into place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yuan Yanqian did not take the initiative to expose it, but smiled slightly: "Thank you Mr. Baker for your concern, I am indeed recovering well." ”

Our Master Yuan didn't tell the other party's purpose, so this old fox was even more patient.

He also smiled and said, "I really envy you young people." I'm really old, and it's time for me to retire completely. ”

The capitalists in the United States are really old and strong, and they almost always fight until the last moment.

In 1913, J.P. Morgan was 76 years old, and he felt that his body could not bear it, so he took a vacation to Egypt on the advice of his doctor, and then died on the way back to the United States from Cairo.

Mr. Baker Sr. pointed at Little Baker and Yuan Yanqian and said, "Now it's time for you to play." ”

Hearing this, Louis Baker was stunned for a moment, and then said a little overwhelmed: "Grandpa, I don't know how to make ...... yet"

He remembered that there was an outsider called Master Yuan, so he obediently stopped his mouth.

Yuan Yanqian, whose intelligence reached 14 points, listened to this half sentence, and naturally had a little experience, it seems that my "Watson" has not yet chosen his career direction, and he is still confused about his future.

Of course, Mr. Baker Jr. is the chairman who didn't figure out which line to do.

However, it was inconvenient for him to intervene in other people's family affairs, so he diverted the topic and said, "Mr. Baker, I have a gift for you to thank you for this invitation." ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, this is a coincidence, I also have a gift for you......"

"Then let's meet at the restaurant with our respective gifts."

Yuan Yanqian returned to the room and changed into the evening dress that was specially paid for by the Jewish tailor yesterday.

It's really not that he is making a fuss, or being a high-class Chinese addict, but if you have watched British and American film and television dramas such as "Titanic" and "Downton Abbey" that depict the pre- and post-World War I, you will know that members of the upper class have to change into dresses when they eat a formal meal.

Wearing evening dresses to banquets is the basic etiquette of gentlemen and ladies in this era, and our Master Yuan currently does not have this "qualification" to ignore this conventional social etiquette, and must show his "personality".

He took the present and went to the balcony of the dining-room, and soon the two Gentr. Bakers came. After the three of them ordered a glass of wine, Master Yuan took out his gift.

What gift does our Master Yuan have that is worthy of this suspected third richest man in the United States?

Naturally, it is a mahjong tile that "contains the ancient wisdom of Seris".

Of course, this mahjong is not ordinary, the back is green jadeite, the front is white ivory, or carved by a master, it looks absolutely high-end atmosphere, and it is full of Cyrisian style.

Well, it's jade and ivory, and it sounds expensive. In fact, the price gap between this mahjong and Master Yuan's psychology is too big.

A hundred years later, modern people come to 1920 and must be a little unaccustomed to the prices of that time.

A record player costs $100, which is equivalent to 6,000 soft girl coins in later generations, a washing machine costs more than $100, and a refrigerator costs more than $200. If you compare the average annual salary of American workers at that time of six or seven hundred, such a price is obviously ridiculously high.

On the contrary, jade, ivory and cultural relics are also considered luxuries, and the price is not too low compared to later generations.

So Yuan Yanqian spent more than 400 US dollars to buy this mahjong tile and gave it to Mr. Baker Sr.

Four hundred dollars is indeed a lot of money, but it is only two refrigerators, which is not a small meaning for the "rising stars of British and American literature".

"Well, a beautiful gift. But what is it? ”

"Oh, this is the ...... of our Seris three thousand years ago"

NATURALLY, OUR MASTER YUAN ONCE AGAIN PEDDLED HIS THEORIES OF "ORACLE BONES" AND "TIAN REN HE YI" TO MR. BAKER, AND SAID THAT MAHJONG TILES CAN NOT ONLY PREVENT BRAIN RECESSION BUT ALSO PROLONG LIFE FOR THE ELDERLY, AND OF COURSE, IMPROVE THEIR OWN LEVEL.

Mr. Baker nodded his head unconsciously when he heard that, and accepted the gift with great satisfaction.

"So, Neo. This is my gift to you. ”

The gift given to him by Mr. George Baker was not so pretty, nor so "meaningful", it was nothing more than a document.

However, after Yuan Yanqian opened it and took a look, he immediately closed the document and stood up, handed it back with both hands, and said, "Mr. Baker, this is too valuable, I can't take it!" ”

The old man didn't take it, but waved him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, it's just a few tens of thousands of dollars in shares." What's not to do? ”

Master Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "We Cyris people have an old saying that it is not a good thing to get a gift that exceeds one's own merits, just like ...... Well, it's like letting Louie be my driver. I didn't really take credit for it, so I really can't take it. (Author's note: The next sentence of "no merit is not allowed to be lu" in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" is "Fun driving farewell Jinggong".) ）

"Hahaha, you Seris are indeed a people of ancient wisdom. But...... You deserve it! "I made a bet with Mr. Morgan Jr. that I would win 250 votes against the Republicans, and I won something, including this stake." ”

He pointed to the document and continued, "Neo, since you donated all the $500,000 you won, then of course I can also give you this equity certificate." And I think the stake in this company is perfect for young people like you who have ideas. ”

"Gentlemen, your wine."

Our Master Yuan was about to say something, but at this time, the waiter brought the wine. He had no choice but to take a sip of the "Vodka Martini with Stirring and Stirring", and by the way, he straightened out his thoughts.

He glanced at little Mr. Baker, who was a little distracted, and decided to do his good friend a favor while achieving his goal.

So Yuan Yan took a few sips of wine unhurriedly, and naturally put away the document and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll thank you." But ......"

He suddenly put on a very serious face, and said to Old Mr. Baker, "I have accepted this gift, and I have a presumptuous request. ”

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Control, shares, rights!" Master Yuan said word by word: "I want a controlling stake in this company." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

When Mr. Little Baker heard this, he was immediately choked with whiskey in his mouth. And old Mr. Baker's eyes flashed, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Ahem, ahem...... Neo! What are you talking about? It's really ......."

"Louie, don't worry, I think Mr. Yuan must have something to say."

Our Master Yuan said in his heart that opportunities are really reserved for those who are prepared. I was interrupted by David Griffith and Miss Lillian Gish last time when I was about to pretend to be that key force, and this time I see who can interrupt Lao Tzu to pretend to be forced?

He switched to the "scholar" form, with a graceful expression on his face, and said in a deep baritone, "Yes, I do have something to say......"
