"A lot of mining equipment was damaged by those spiders, and I applied for compensation from the insurance company, but the amount was not enough to buy new equipment to start the ......"

In the living room of Ashley's house, Chris handed the information to Locke and began to explain the current state of the gold mines.

"Okay, so how much investment do you need." After reading the information, Locke asked.

"We need to buy new tools, and find a way to deal with the gas near the vein, 300,000 US dollars, and the insurance company will be responsible for some of the compensation, for which I am willing to give 30 percent of the shares."

At first, Chris was reluctant to take out so much equity, but these days he has been frustrated one after another, and most of the investors he contacts have asked for 40% or even 50% equity, and his bottom line has begun to lower.

"This sounds good, after all, we are friends who have experienced life and death together, and I will not ask for more in terms of equity, but I need to add another condition."

Locke didn't have to pay for it, he knew that the gold mine was certain to exist, and he would definitely not lose money under normal circumstances, but he didn't want to be pitted, so he put forward his own conditions:

"I want the company's finances to be taken care of by someone I arranged, and if there is no problem, then we just need to contact the lawyer and confirm the details before we can sign the contract."

Anyway, there is still a lot of cash on hand now, and it is better to spend it if it is time to leave it in your hands, and when it is time to file taxes, you will also have to take a small half, so it is better to take this opportunity to spend it.

At the same time, he also understands why the people of the United States are not very interested in saving, because they will lose a lot of money if they save, but consumption and investment can be tax deductible.

Either make money and save it to be heavily taxed and cheapen the US government, or find a way to spend it or continue to invest.

He can't keep an eye on the gold mine, it's just a small business for him, but he doesn't want to lose his money because of financial problems, arranging his own people financially is a regular operation.

Chris also agreed to the request after thinking about it for a while, and the two sides quickly agreed.

"Okay, the business is over, and then it's private time, and Ashley and I are going to the movies in a moment, what about you?" Locke looked at Chris and Samantha, who was sitting with him.

"We don't need it, just have a good time."

Chris smiled and shook Locke's hand, a series of things that had kept him busy these days.

"Then I won't disturb your celebration, and when your wedding comes, don't forget to ask me." Locke smiled and gestured to Samantha, giving the sheriff an embarrassed smile.

"Definitely."

Two days later, in the presence of lawyers from both sides, Rock and Chris signed an investment agreement, and he left with Ashley.

But instead of returning to Belvedere, he went to New York first, and Ashley said she had wanted to see New York for a long time.

"Wow, this is amazing." After an afternoon of shopping on Fifth Avenue with Tang Wei Locke, Ashley returned to Locke's newly rented apartment with the two of them.

"If you like it." Locke shrugged his shoulders.

"I love New York." Ashley lifted her shopping bags and placed them on the couch in the living room to take stock of her catch.

Tang Wei put down the shopping bag and opened the refrigerator door: "Does anyone want to drink something?" ”

"Bring me a bottle of Coke." Ashley said as she sorted out the clothes she had just bought.

"I'll just drink plain water."

is different from the American drama where you pour a glass of wine at every turn when you get home, not to mention whether you are healthy or unhealthy, it is too cost-effective from an economic point of view.

In fact, even if they are in the United States, when they return home, they just drink water or ordinary drinks, and what is shown in film and television dramas is more of an advertising effect.

Similar soft advertisements are ubiquitous in the United States, and more and more alcoholics have been created, and a large number of American people have to join the Alcoholics Rehabilitation Committee for this reason.

"To you." Tang Wei poured himself and Locke a glass of water, and then handed the Coke to Ashley.

Gully took a big sip of Coke, and Ashley said, "Thanks, Alice." ”

This is a rare good attitude she has towards Tang Wei in the past two days, after all, she already knows the relationship between Tang Wei and Locke.

Although Locke made it clear about his attitude at the beginning of the relationship, when he first came to New York to meet Tang Wei, he almost had to turn his face, but fortunately, Locke also had his own way.

On the contrary, Tang Wei's reaction was very small, he had already known a lot of things, and he had seen a lot of rich people's actions in Las Vegas, so he was already prepared in his heart.

What she is thinking about now is more to use Locke's money to complete her studies, and even seize the opportunity to have a good development in her career.

As for the future, Locke has already said that if you want to leave or find a boyfriend or something, as long as you explain it in advance, everyone will get together and disperse.

After all, it is modern society, Locke does not plan to have children, people want children because they regard children as the continuation of their lives, but he wants to take the road of immortality.

Now he can't even guarantee whether he can truly become a god, let alone ascend to heaven by himself, rather than watching his children grow old and die in front of him, it is better not to have children in the first place.

In this way, he can't expect every woman who has an intimate relationship to be willing to spend her whole life on herself, and all women are safe together, which is basically an unrealistic delusion.

Ashley was busy sorting out the clothes that had just arrived, Tang Wei answered a phone call, hung up and said to Locke: "Monica said that today we are going to comfort Ross together, and ask if you want to be together?" ”

"Ross is still depressed there." Locke couldn't help but complain: "Isn't it just that my wife is lace?" What's the big deal, he can't be a man, as long as it's strong enough, lace or something is not a problem at all. ”

"What lace edges." Ashley, who was listening with her ears pricked up, suddenly became interested, and gossip flashed in her eyes.

Tang Wei had no choice but to briefly talk about Rose, Monica and Rose, the old brother, have not dealt with each other since childhood, but at this time, they still have to care about it.

"Interesting, dear, are you going to go over in a moment? Why don't you take me to see me," Ashley said as she leaned over to Locke and hugged him.

"You want to go to the theater." Locke gave Ashley a roll of his eyes: "It's still early, it's eight o'clock, we'll have dinner before we go." ”

So the three of them cleaned up, found a restaurant for dinner, and went all the way to the bar, where they saw Monica, Chandler, and Joey gathered around Rose.

"There's no need to be sad, I think it's pretty cool." It happened to be Joey who was speaking: "This is exactly the scene I have been looking forward to. ”

But Chandler couldn't help but roll his eyes: "yes, great, I'm going to have a nightmare tonight." ”

After all, when he was a child, he had seen the story between his parents and the maid all the way, and until now, looking back on it, it is a childhood nightmare, and every time he talks about gay or lace, he thinks of it.

"Did you misunderstand?" Monica interrupted the two men's unreliable persuasion.

"Of course it's not a misunderstanding, although Carol didn't tell me explicitly, but I'm sure of it." Rose said with some indignation.

"And what are you going to do?" Monica didn't know what advice to give, and turned her gaze to Locke, who had just arrived.

"The question is whether you want to redeem it." Locke asks for a glass of wine at the bar:

"After all, you're just a woman, and it's actually more acceptable to men. There are all kinds of people in the United States, and lace edges are actually not a big deal, and it is not for nothing that they all want. ”

"Locke is right, let's go Rose, I can accompany you." Joey looks like he's going to drag Rose to meet the world.
