Chapter 119 The gambling contract was established
There was silence in the conference hall, and even the big businessmen who had been discussing with each other just now were quiet, for fear of disturbing Auston's thoughts. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Auston looked up at them, and found that someone's eyes flickered, and when he looked at him, he slightly avoided his gaze.
Auston's heart sank, and he cursed: "A bunch of bastards who see the wind and rudder. He knew that his hesitant performance just now fell in the eyes of these people, which inevitably damaged his prestige and made this group of wolf-ambitious guys have different intentions. For these businessmen who have milk and are mothers, the Western Realm Trading House with a big aristocratic background is undoubtedly a thicker and firmer thigh, which is more worth holding onto.
Sasha's offer was already a very good bet for Auston, and he could have lost a negligible amount of his reputation compared to what he might get. What's more, if he really loses, his reputation will fall sharply in the public and it will be irretrievable, and the propaganda of the whole city in accordance with the gambling contract will only speed up this process, and if he does not publicize the Western Territory Commercial Bank, he will not publicize it? They must be beating gongs and drums, making a lot of noise, and they wish that the whole city would know about it, and he is not Grievous the Great, and this kind of major event must not be suppressed.
From this point of view, he won the thousands of acres of land that he directly earned for nothing, and he lost almost nothing. Didn't Marx say that if they can get 50 percent of the windfall profits, the capitalists can take risks; if they can get 100 percent of the huge profits, the capitalists dare to trample on all the laws of the world; if they can get 300 percent of the profits, the capitalists dare to risk being killed. For Auston, there is no better business.
"We can't be indecisive anymore, and if we keep making decisions, we will be disrupted. Alston said to himself secretly. Beware that he made up his mind, and said to Sasha: "Okay, the old man is so hesitant to make everyone look down on it, this bet, the Auston family has taken it!", after saying this, his whole body was relieved, and a heroic feeling was born in his heart for a long time: It doesn't matter what kind of sword, gun, sword, halberd, or ghostly monster you have, you can use any means! Back then, I was poor and white, and laid this foundation with my bare hands, and when I was old, someone bullied him, just like the saber-toothed tiger of the king of the northern land, even if you are old, you can eat people!
When he said this, he had a heroic and bold meaning, just like the gong at the beginning of the stage, and the oath of a strong man to go on the expedition, if it was shouted in public on the street, it would definitely attract the applause of a large group of people. It is a pity that the people present are all scheming businessmen, who have long since moved away from the age of strength and grandeur, and they were not touched by Auston's words, but were excited by the huge benefits and changes in power that might be brought about after this, and they began to talk loudly.
"Good!" Sasha stood up, "the old gentleman is cheerful, and his ambition is as great as when he was young. He knocked on the table and said, "Since the bet was made by us, the size of the lamp is up to Mr. Alston to decide, what is your intention?"
Now that the decision has been made, Auston will never drag his feet, and he agreed resolutely: "No problem, I will send the specific drawings in three days." As for the beginning of the bet, it will be set in seven days. ”
Sasha nodded, having no objection to the date set by Auston, and then he instructed the attendants on the left and right: "Go and get two notaries to come." ”。 In a short time, the attendants led the two notaries in.
Seeing this posture, Auston sneered, and said sarcastically: "It seems that Mr. Sasha is scheming, and he has already laid the bait and waited for the big fish to take the bait." Just be careful that the rod is too brittle, the line is too thin, and the big fish runs away and the bait is gone. Where can I find two free notaries in such a short time? I was clearly prepared in advance! I was waiting for myself.
Sasha laughed, and did not think it was wrong, so he immediately instructed the notary to draft the relevant documents, read them first, signed them, and stamped them with the seal of the Westside Comptoir, and then handed the documents to Alston. In fact, so many people were present. He was not afraid of Auston's remorse, but as the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall, and a poor rat bites a civet, so he still prepares everything properly to avoid any accidents.
Auston took the document, read it carefully, saw that there was no problem, signed and stamped it, and exchanged the document with a notary. Now that he has torn his face, he is too lazy to deal with Sasha again, and is ready to get up and leave immediately.
"I was supposed to congratulate Governor Sasha today, but I didn't expect it to become like this. As the saying goes, many friends have many ways, and President Sasha always has such an aggressive appearance, which makes it difficult for everyone's business to do. At the end, Auston didn't forget to give Sasha some eye drops.
"If you really want to make friends, I, Sasha, will naturally welcome you with both hands. I'm afraid that some people are holding out their hands to shake hands, but the other hand is secretly carrying a knife, who would dare to make such a friend?", Sasha replied quietly as he saw Alston off.
Auston smiled, and stopped fighting, whether it was a victory or a defeat, everything will naturally be known after seven days, and then the winner will take everything, and the loser will lose. He is old, and he doesn't want to waste his strength in such a place, and if he was young, he would not have been willing to fall behind in this kind of place.
"I'm still old. He thought silently, but he held his breath in his heart when he thought about it, and couldn't help straightening his old waist, and the rickety back who was slowly walking towards the door was a few points taller.
His main son is gone, and the others don't stay longer and leave one after another. When everyone was gone, Sasha ordered the attendants to close the door, and with a sigh of relief, he sat down in his seat as if he had no bones, and then his forehead was full of sweat, and he was not visible on the outside of a dark dress, but he was already soaked inside.
He was so nervous because this plan was completely made by Al, and he was completely out of his control, and he was not sure in the slightest, could he not be nervous?
When Al first devised this plan, Sasha was strenuously opposed. In the eyes of a businessman like him, the benefits of Al's plan are completely the other party's, but the risks must be borne by himself, and this kind of business must be done? What's more, if the electric light is really so magical, it can be steady and steady, and occupy the market with quality, there is no need to take such a big risk and not leave yourself a little way out.
It's a pity that his arm can't twist his thigh, Al insists on going his own way, and Sasha has to comply.
